# Tiny Framework CSS Changes

 * Hi,
 * I’ve previously used theme Tiny Forge (and been very impressed) and now chosen
   to develop a site using Tiny Framework. Previously I could edit the CSS in WordPress
   from the editor. Now I see that with WP 4.9.5 site changes are made through a
   side control panel which therefore does not give direct access to template and
   CSS files.
 * I have four questions:
 * 1. Is my understanding correct that to change files I’ve now to use FTP to download
   and modify files before uploading again?
 * 2. How do I know which files change which features of the theme?
 * 3. More specifically how can I change the features illustrated in the image linked
   below?
 * 3.1 the user icon, name colour and font size (on a posting).
    3.2 the line spacing
   on the widget Recent Posts list. Note: for some reason, the line spacing is correct
   on the widget Archive. Although it would be good to have the widget title and
   list line spacing closer.
 * 4. How do I change the breadcrumb at the foot of each post showing post before
   and post after i.e. < xxxx xxxx>
 * I do hope that someone with far better knowledge about these things (I’m not 
   a coder) will be able to point me in the right direction. Thanks.
 * IMAGE URL WHICH ILLUSTRATES WHAT I’D LIKE TO CHANGE

 * Hi,
 * 1. not necessary, if it is not disabled specifically, you should be able to edit
   your files from the Admin: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_Files](https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_Files)
 * 2. Overall the best option is to not edit original files, but to use a child 
   theme:
    [http://mtomas.com/389/tiny-forge-framework-child-themes-comprehensive-guide#Use-child-theme-or-not](http://mtomas.com/389/tiny-forge-framework-child-themes-comprehensive-guide#Use-child-theme-or-not)
 * Or if you need to change only the CSS, you can use _Appearance/Customize/Additional
   CSS_ to easily add your changes. On how to locate what CSS element to target,
   please refer to: [http://mtomas.com/389/tiny-forge-framework-child-themes-comprehensive-guide#Use-web-dev-tools](http://mtomas.com/389/tiny-forge-framework-child-themes-comprehensive-guide#Use-web-dev-tools)
 * 3. Use the dev tools: [http://mtomas.com/389/tiny-forge-framework-child-themes-comprehensive-guide#Use-web-dev-tools](http://mtomas.com/389/tiny-forge-framework-child-themes-comprehensive-guide#Use-web-dev-tools)
   
   and while in the targeting screen, point to that particular element and you will
   see what actual CSS rules are applied, so it will be easy to override them in
   _Appearance/Customize/Additional CSS_.
 * You can also open style.css and search for multiple entries of: Tip88
 * One of them will be Tip88 – Customize color scheme: Styles for page titles for
   categories, tags, etc. Be aware, that the same element can be also defined in
   one or several Media queries, so search again for the same text to see if there
   are other instances of it.
 * 4. If you want to change the appearance, steps are the same as for the 3.

 * Many thanks, Tomas for your response. I’ll follow your advice and set-up a Child
   Theme. It was something I’ve always been a little unsure about but your explanation
   has given me the confidence to do it.
 * Cheers
