I did some CSS customization to my theme, but now I am unable to find the Edit HTML/CSS button.
AI-generated summary
Ravi_Teja_Varma is having trouble finding the Edit HTML/CSS button for the default selected theme after making some CSS customizations. pfaffman explains that due to the Restrict editing of remote themes feature, themes must be updated on GitHub.
codinghorror suggests adding a notice to the page, redirecting users to edit the theme on GitHub. However, pmusaraj points out that most users won’t have repository access.
An alternative solution is proposed by eviltrout, suggesting the notice should direct users to submit a change on GitHub. codinghorror agrees, and eviltrout assigns the task to pmusaraj, who later confirms that the change has been made in a GitHub pull request.
Restrict editing of remote themes means that you need to update the theme in github.
Since this comes up almost every day now, can we put a notice on the page that says something like
If you want to edit this theme, you must edit it on GitHub
Where the last part is a direct link to the github repo for that theme.
We’re way way past rule of 3 on this one @eviltrout @sam.
We should do something, but we can’t say “edit on Github”, most users won’t have repo access to do that…
What if we said:
If you want to edit this theme, you must submit a change on GitHub
Sounds good to me! I think that page needs some kind of pointer or direction for people who want to edit; we’ve had way more than 3 meta topics about it since the change.
@pmusaraj can you add this one? Thanks!
