What Is the WordPress Customizer and How Does It Work? Print

  • 0

The WordPress Customizer is a feature that allows you to customize the appearance and settings of your WordPress site in real-time. The Customizer includes a preview of your site and a set of controls that you can use to make changes to your theme, widgets, menus, and other settings.

To access the WordPress Customizer, go to Appearance > Customize in the left-hand menu of the WordPress dashboard. This will open the Customizer in a new tab, where you will see a preview of your site on the left-hand side and a set of controls on the right-hand side.

In the Customizer, you can use the controls to make changes to your site's appearance and settings. For example, you can change the colors and fonts of your theme, add or rearrange widgets in the sidebar or footer, create and edit menus, and customize other settings depending on the options provided by your theme and plugins.

As you make changes in the Customizer, the preview of your site will update in real-time, allowing you to see the changes as they would appear on your live site. This can be a useful way to experiment with different options and see how they look before making the changes permanent. When you are happy with your changes, click the Publish button to save them and make them live on your site.
