Theme doesn’t allow changing basic styles without custom CSS.
Inaccessible Theme Colors or Fonts
Key Points: Theme settings don’t offer control over fonts, colors, or typography.
You want to change the font or tweak the brand color — but the theme locks you into a default palette. No typography controls, no Customizer options, just frustration.
🎨 Why It Happens
- Theme hardcodes styles without user-accessible settings
- No integration with global style controls or Customizer
- Customization requires digging into CSS or functions
🛠️ How to Deal
- Use the Additional CSS section in Customizer for overrides
- Inspect elements with Dev Tools to find target classes
- If needed, switch to a theme with more flexible design controls
💡 Theme Philosophy
Themes built with Full Site Editing or block themes offer better design freedom. Traditional themes often sacrifice flexibility for speed.
