 * Hello, I currently have your Olsen Light theme and am trying to do a preview 
   customization of this theme, however I am only getting an option to ‘activate’
   the theme and not ‘preview’. DO you know why this is occuring? Thank you

 * Hi there,
 * can you check for plugin conflicts first [https://www.cssigniter.com/kb/checking-for-plugin-conflicts/](https://www.cssigniter.com/kb/checking-for-plugin-conflicts/)
 * Are you tryng to preview from Appearance->Customize?

 * I clicked on Themes–Add New — Kaneshon—Install. Once I get to the step of installing
   a theme, when I hover over the theme there is the option to ‘activate’ or ‘live
   preview’. The live preview button does not show, just the ‘activate’ button. 
   Could it be because I currently use Olsen Light?

 * Hi there,
 * This is not related to the Kaneshon or Olsen Light. This theme doesn’t support
   Customizer. However, you can still [activate this theme](http://localhost/theme/wp-admin/themes.php?action=activate&stylesheet=kaneshon&_wpnonce=b1149b03fc),
   and use the Site Editor to customize it. Kaneshon is full site editing theme 
   that has no Customizer support (like all full site editing themes).
 * You can clone your current installation in a staging environment and activate
   the theme and test it there.
 * Let me know how I can help more with Kaneshon

 * Ok Fotis thank you for clarifying. I assume this means should I activate the 
   theme there is no need to create a ‘child theme’.. I can just go ahead and edit
   the site from the parent theme with no issues?

 * Exactly, unless you have made PHP code changes you can skip this!
 * Let me know how I can help out more
