 * Hi there,
 * How do I center the widget text for the default widgets such as ‘Recent Posts’
   and ‘Categories’
 * Currently they are aligned to the left of the Sidebar.
    Please let me know how
   to edit code too as I am new 🙂
 * Thanks!

 * Hi killiangavin.
 * Thank you for contacting us and for trying our theme. We appreciate it.
 * In order to centre the text in those widgets, please add this to _Appearance -
   > Customize -> Additional CSS_:
 *     ```
       .sidebar-default {
       	text-align: center;
       }
       .sidebar-default .widget-title {
       	text-align: center;
       }
       ```
   
 * That should do it. I’d also like to mention that you shouldn’t directly change
   any code in the theme files. You risk crashing the theme if something goes wrong
   and when the theme gets updated all those changes will be overwritten.
    If you
   really need to change something in a theme file, a child theme should be created.
 * Hope this helps but if you have any additional questions, feel free to ask.
 * Kind regards.
