Customizr

This theme is easy to start with and very powerful under the hood for when I wanted to go beyond it’s original design. It’s popularity means that there is a great network of people to discuss troubleshooting as well.

Super easy to use, slick, responsive, clean, no complicated short-codes or overly complex settings. Love your work, good support, What else ? thanks!

Esta plantilla es gratuita. Eso lo primero. Muchas gracias por el esfuerzo que hacen los desarrolladores.
Pero su usabilidad es magnífica, sobre todo para aquellos proyectos que no requieren grandes web’s, con desarrollos complejos, o que no precisan de una adaptación de colores, formas o tipografías.
Muchas gracias

Awesome theme! Very easy to use. Responsive is beautiful and overall just a great choice. Thanks to the developers!

Customizr is a great looking theme!
Does loads of useful things. Probably makes the tea and walks the dog too. In fact this theme was just what I was looking for, well almost. But as a person who has intermediate HTML and intermediate CSS skills and who is not a developer, I would not recommend it for beginners with no or little development skills like myself. TAKE NOTE: After some frustration I thought for what it’s worth I would share my ‘new user’ experience.

I simply wanted to make what I thought were simple changes, like insert some copy to a specific point on the home page (e.g. below the slider / above the featured pages block). For me a website home page is tited / named ‘index.html’. Yay, simple I thought. I’m a ‘drag-n-drop’ kind of lady. So rather then quickly pop a bit of copy directly onto the home page there is advice on making a ‘child’ theme. What a hassle! Whilst child themes are a good concept (preserves content and code changes when any theme updates are installed) from being over written, I spent ages messing about with the child theme thing. Child Themify didn’t work. So found another called Orbisius. Created and activated, great! Then using the Orbisius editor added my content (that I wanted to appear on the home page), preferably at a specific point on the page. So I thought I’d insert the following code into the child theme editor which I got from the support pages:
add_filter(‘tc_fp_block_display’, ‘content_before_fp’);
function content_before_fp($html) {
$before_fp = ”; //Put your HTML inside this var
return $before_fp.$html;
}
The assumption was the file the child theme generated was the ‘functions.php’, then again why wouldn’t it be? Added the (above) code and some content, saved and uploaded. Sadly it didn’t work and did something weird to the website too. Removed content to revert website back to working again.

Then it came to the step of attempting to ‘hook’ the new child theme (containing my new content including HTML) to some point/location on the home page. Whilst a sound concept, a Nightmare and double-Dutch if you don’t have code development skills. Sorry, but I dream of drag-n-drop simplicity.

Then I had a light bulb moment! Why not look at the showcase examples for something similar, which I found. This gave me the idea to write directly to the ‘index.html’ page itself (on the understanding if I update the Customizr I would have to remember to re-add again any content previously inserted).
I opened my website front home page (the page that has featured pages, above which I wanted to add content to) that turns out not to be titled. ‘index.html’ but ‘index.php’.
So to identify the exact spot where I wanted to locate my copy I ‘right-clicked’ to inspect element. Yep, found the spot where I’d like to type some text in and some HTML etc. Thus, that’s the page I want to add content to, right?

In WordPress admin -> appearance -> editor lists the theme files. It must be one of them I thought, surely? But no! I didn’t find the home page as shown, so can only assume the contents, in part are generated or something. Darn!

Oh yeah, on the Customizr help site, there is a good list of the CSS selectors listed with another adjacent column giving a short description. You may well find these useful, though alas there is not a column that shows the source pages where these CSS selectors are actually located, which would be real fab. Unclear if every listed selector is used in one specific file only (style.css) or are in and affect several files!

If you’re new to this like I am and have loads of time, I think the Customizr theme is really worth persevering with. If you find yourself reading a help article on the Customizr support forum and find something is quite unclear, the chances are there is an assumption (by the contributor) you’re not a newbie and don’t have the requisite knowledge (which I’d say the majority probably do have). Unfortunately I don’t have the time, so now have to select a theme I can get up and running without taking the time to develop developer skills. Think I’ll try to find the theme I used a couple of years ago that I could pull to bits, add stuff to, put it together again and it worked like a dream … now what was it?

Best

Also, though a bit friendly, will need tons of css to work it. It does not allow for one to choose featured pages which in my case are categories. Shuld allow for us to choose categories and the slider pics as please. Meaning, I do want the slides to be my latest posts but some images like I have it now. Otherwise, very interesting to customize.

I am still playing around with this theme to change my old blog theme’s comprarunatablet to it and I see a lot of customizations possibilites.I love the way it looks professional and it is also very clean and neat. Loads quick also and customer service is fast and diligent. I also like its slider feature.

So far for me is an excellent option, and free.

great theme with lots of easy customisation options. nice work! really well documented. looks great on mobile .

I needed a simple, customizable theme for my for-profit website, and Customizr is it. Not only is it already very customizable and appealing out of the box, but the designer of this theme frequents the support forums, and solves your issues very quickly. This is easily my favorite WordPress theme. Highly recommended!

Update: the more I use Customizr, the more I love it: you can do anything you want with it. Also, the support is great!

While I have not searched for similar comprehensive themes in the last 12 months I really wonder how much the customization settings have progressed from version to version in the last ca. 24 months. I only need a small subset of the settings and still the theme is great and not too complex. I will try it on a MS ML installation to see how child themes work there. Great piece of coding.

Customizr is an excellent theme. Thank you Nico.You helped us to develop [ link redacted, please do not post links in the reviews section ]. Thank you again and keep on the good work.

I am an very happy user of customizr and my customers as well. I use it for my SEO web agency very nice and simple wordpress theme.
