The LeagueApps theme editor is an easy way to adjust the appearance of your LeagueApps Hosted Website. The theme editor has basic tools to let you change your site's colors, fonts, logo, and background images.
If you use your own website provider or have purchased a custom WordPress website from LeagueApps, you will likely not need to adjust these settings.

CSS & HTML
For more advanced users, the theme editor can be a really powerful tool, giving you partial or even full control over your site's theme and styles. If you like the default LeagueApps theme, but just want to customize or override a few pieces here and there, you can add additional CSS to the theme to customize the default display.
| ⚠️CAUTION: CSS options are meant for advanced users only. Modifying or rewriting theme CSS is only recommended for advanced customers. Doing so without proper knowledge may cause issues with your site. LeagueApps is not responsible for support issues caused by custom themes. |
In the HTML tab of the theme editor, you can include external files or code in your site's HEAD tag, insert custom HTML into the header of your site, or insert custom content into the footer of your site.
In the first field of the HTML tab, labeled HEAD TAG, you can include any custom files or other code you want into the HEAD tag of your site. For instance, if you don't want to write your CSS, you can include an external CSS file that you host yourself.
Custom Header & Footer Content
In the second and third fields of the HTML tab, labeled CUSTOM HEADER CONTENT and CUSTOM FOOTER CONTENT, you can include any custom HTML you'd like to appear in your site's header and footer.
| ⚠️ CAUTION: You are responsible for styling any custom content you include. We can not support any display issues created by the inclusion of custom content. |
