Hi, I am fairly new to Rapidweaver so still learning, one of my problems is with Themes I have purchased several but I don’t know how to use them in RapidWeaver, when I select the theme how do I access all the pages to add my own pics, titles, text etc, do I have to load Foundry stacks or Foundation with them or neither? I’m sorry if seems very basic questions but have been looking online but can’t seem to find anything to help me out, or if anyone knows of any videos to explain it that would be appreciated.

I used to edit themes but decided that it was a lot better to get a framework-based theme such as Foundation. It’s really the best way to get exactly what you want.

IMO the term “edit themes” is completely misleading. 99% of users won’t **edit** a predefined theme.

You always edit a project, and **use** either a predefined theme, or use a framework theme like foundation, foundry, or source, which requires the stacks plugin.

I can’t speak for others but I **did** edit themes. It was a pretty dumb idea.
