Can I do this from within the appearance editor in wordpress?

Also, when I update X, will this code I add be overwritten?

Thanks

Peter

Always use a child theme if you need to edit core files, otherwise all the customizations will be lost on update.

To edit header.php file. First setup the child theme, you can refer to this article http://theme.co/x/member/kb/how-to-setup-child-themes/ then copy the wp-header.php file from X\framework\views\your-stack-name\wp-header.php and paste it inside the child theme directory here x-child-your-stack-name\framework\views\your-stack-name

Then add your code inside. You’ll need FTP to edit the child theme files.

Let us know if this helps!

When you make changes to Child theme the changes will not overwrite and no need to update them.

Hope it helps.

I’m looking at my child theme folder, but there’s no framework directory…

Here’s what’s inside my child theme folder:

functions.php
screenshot.png
style.css

Am I looking in the wrong place???

Please download a child theme in here -> http://theme.co/x/member/child-themes/

each child theme have this kind of directory x-child-[your-stack]/framework/views/[your-stack]

e.g. /x-child-ethos/framework/views/ethos

you can add additional meta in here -> x-child-[your-stack]/framework/views/global/_header.php.

but you don’t necessarily need to add it in there, you can simply use your child theme functions.php and hook your css file in wp_head.

like this

add_action('wp_head','my_addition_css');
function my_addition_css() {
 echo '<link rel="stylesheet" href="www.your-site.com/your-css-file.css" type="text/css" media="all" />';
}

Hope that helps.

It only has the files I mentioned above.

I ended up adding the directories, and that worked.

I used the link to the Theme Editor and saw that I was in the Child’s Theme, I was not sure where to place the code above as I could not find a header.php file. SO, I entered the code into the function area, clicked Update, and saw that the statement did not go away. I then removed the code from the function area and refreshed, did not hit Update again. Now I cannot see anything on the Theme Editor page, or anywhere else. I used a different browser and typed in my URL justcallmelody.com – nothing shows up. It is a complete blank page.

Can you help me?
