How to Customize Your Theme's Code
Here at WeTheme, unfortunately we do not have the means to view, diagnose, or address theme issues related to third-party coding customizations. Therefore, like all third-party theme developers, we are unable to provide coding customizations as per Shopify's official guidelines.
To customize your theme, you can use your theme settings to change your storefront's colors, typography, and other stylistic features. However, if you wish to make changes to your storefront that are not options within your theme editor, you can do so by changing your theme's code.
Some of these changes may include:
Custom changes made by you, the merchant (such as by following tutorials to amend the theme)
Custom changes made by a developer
Installing (and uninstalling) apps.

Due to the far-reaching and potentially compromising nature of altering theme code-files, Shopify recommends duplicating your theme to create a backup copy before adding custom code, allowing you to start again if you need to.
Within your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
Select your theme, and click Actions > Duplicate.
