  1. Thank you Mike. Very clearly spoken and understandable. Question: Should those changes be made directly in those 3 files, or, via a “Child” theme? I am just starting to work with the free version of the Storefront theme and would like to reduce the vertical height of the header and also have the text across the header, instead of broken into several lines.

  2. Hello please help me, is Dreamweaver acting as an FTP client here? and can I use other FTP clients

  3. I though WordPress recomend not to edit directly those file but to overwrite the file in a child theme or something like that… Am I wrong ?

  4. Hi, what do you think of the Hitchcock Theme? I read about it in some posts before. Appreciate any recomendation from you.

  5. Can someone please teach how i can set up the mamp and dreamweaver and connect it to my word press web ? Don’t really know how to do it from this video.
