Customify – Intuitive Website Styling

Description

With Customify, developers can easily create advanced theme-specific options inside the WordPress Customizer. Using those options, a user can make presentational changes without having to know or edit the theme code.

This plugin is primarily intended to be used together with Pixelgrade themes. So the best way to get acquainted with it’s capabilities is to study the way one of Pixelgrade’s themes integrates with it.

FAQ

Is there a way to reset Customify to defaults?

Reset buttons are available for all the options or for individual sections or panels.
They are disabled by default to avoid useless/accidental resets.
To enable them simply go to Dashboard -> Settings -> Customify and check “Enable Reset Buttons”

The plugin works well IF AND ONLY IF you work STRICTLY with the themes they sell. If you choose however to work with some other gallery plugin, Customify will cause your site to lag, ultimately breaking it as things get wonky pretty quickly.

I love Pixelgrade as a company – they’re a small but mighty team pumping out beautiful themes. The Customify plugin makes setting up their themes super easy, and the customization panel within Customify is very intuitive. I love that there are preset color schemes so I don’t have to go learn about color harmonies, I just choose one that’s good enough and move on to focus on the content of the site. 5-star team and plugin.

I’m not sure which update started to mess up with the fonts, but every time I change the size font or font, the next day it is set again by default (font title size Hanken 400). You got to fix this, or just discontinue this plugin. UPDATE May 11th 2020: Since version 2.7.3 everything is working again. Apparently, the issue was a conflict between Customify and The Event Calendar Pro.
