Suggestions on removing Customizer code?

    In modifying WP Bootstrap Starter and using it as a starter theme, I’d like to remove as much of the code regarding the Customizer as possible. Any suggestions or tips on how to proceed would be appreciated.

    I never use the Customizer. I like to keep all of my CSS in the stylesheet. And when I build a site for a client, I don’t want them messing around with its appearance by stumbling across the Customizer. Not everyone is or should be a designer. In fact, I try to not even let them have access to it.

    There is a lot of code in the theme checking for settings in the Customizer, and I’d like to remove as much of that as possible too.

    Any guidelines for doing this systematically? Or suggestions of which code I could remove?

    Hi hommealone,

    Thanks for using our theme. With regard to your question, Unfortunately, we don’t recommend removing codes from the customizer. In this case, I would suggest using the third party plugins and creating a child theme for the theme. Instead of removing codes that would cause more problem and issues in the future updates.

    Sorry that I was not more clear: I am not using your theme as the installed active theme in our website; I do not use a child theme either. I have forked your theme, or more accurately, used a lot of it to create a custom theme of our own.

    (I keep your theme as one of the installed, inactive themes so that when it is updated, I can take a look at what was changed and see if I should incorporate the changes into our own theme at that time.)

    We do not use the customizer, and any further changes will all be done using the stylesheet. As far as I can tell, anything that relies on the default choice in the customizer has already been overridden in our own stylesheet, and if I remove all customizer code and that requires writing some additional custom code to replace it, I’d be happy to do that. And since we do not use the customizer, it seems like most of the code in the theme that relates to it is just bloating the theme unnecessarily.

    Hence my original question: I’d like to remove as much of the code regarding the Customizer as possible. Any suggestions or tips on how to proceed would be appreciated.

    Hi hommealone,

    Apologies, I will not able to provide support for this since our theme is not on the active state on one of your sites. Unless you’ve switched to our theme, I will be able to help and provide you support with theme related issues and bug fixes.

    If you have any concerns with our theme related issues, kindly create a new thread/topic. For the meantime, I will mark your issue as resolved.

    Thanks.
