Hi. Maybe the question will be really amateur but I want to learn. Can we customize the theme via VS Code if we download a theme from ThemeForest? I want to learn because the theme’s developer is disappeared!

Yes, but it’s usually best to child theme.

@sterndata We can change appearance via child theme. Well, can we optimize the theme and make it responsive? I dream of a faster website.

If the theme is not already responsive, consider getting a new theme! There’s a lot of moving parts. Responsive != faster.

Not every theme is licensed the same way. Themeforest themes could have restrictions on its use or modification.
All the themes from the WP repository are licensed compatibly with the GPL, so they can be freely changed, copied, redistributed, or even sold.
