Sorry if this is a stupid question, I’m not very experienced with these things.
I’m working with a developer to make some small layout changes to the theme (i’m using the Porter demo).
He’s unsure about how he makes these changes without them being overridden when the theme is updated.
He has told me that there may be some issues because the theme uses third party template engines. He says that using the child theme he can change colours etc but not the layout.
The things I’m looking to do are:
1) Change the positioning of the links in the header (I want them to be smaller and tight to the top of the page, rather than in line with the logo).
2) Add a line of text to the header on the left hand side.
3) Add a line of text to the header banner.
4) Add a banner and line of text below the products on the homepage advertising a special offer.
5) Add paypal and credit card icons just above the footer on the left hand side.
6) Add a line of text just above the footer on the right hand side.
Any guidance you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
