WordPress Customizer
WordPress 3.4+ introduces a user-friendly and simple theme customization panel that assists you in tweaking certain aspects of your theme such as the logo, favicon, colors, background and other standard WordPress display settings. Through the customizer, you can create a completely new color theme to make Ambition reflect your style and personality.
Oh no, I screwed up! How can I go back to the theme defaults? You can reset your colors to the default by expanding the Theme Color Scheme section:
To help you go back to the theme defaults yourself, we have provided a color key at the end of this section.
The customizer is still an early feature of WordPress , and as such is not perfect. If a color change is not updating in the preview panel, Save and refresh the page.

Colors
This is the default WordPress background color chooser.
Color: Choose your background color. This color will be hidden if you choose to upload a background image.
Header Image
This is the default WordPress header image uploader. Once you’ve uploaded an image, optionally add your title and copy in the theme options panel.
Header image: upload an image that is at least 980 pixels wide. For best results, use an image with dimensions at least 2000 pixels wide and 350 pixels tall.
Background Image
This is the default WordPress background image customizer.
Background image: click the background selector to upload an image. Click Save & Publish to view the orientation settings.
Static Front Page
To display the widget-driven homepage, this must be set to “Latest Posts.” You may opt to show a specific page as your homepage instead, such as your main blog category, a special content page, or the gallery.
Custom CSS
For elements not covered by the Customizer, you can use custom CSS to change just about anything. We offer a Custom Styling area in to store your styles. This option saves custom CSS in your WordPress database. If your theme files are lost or if you need to reinstall, everything in your database is retained and safe. Older themes may not have this option.
- Go to →
- Enter or paste your styles into the Custom CSS field. You can grab styles using Inspect Element in your browser.
- Click Save
custom.css stylesheet
This option may be easier to manage for advanced designers, but does require backup and maintenance if the theme files need to be reinstalled for any reason.
- Go to→
- Click the custom.css link in the lower-right corner
- Enter or paste your codes on a blank link below any existing text
- Click Update File
Only copy styles you have changed or will customize into these areas – never copy the entire theme stylesheet as this can impede your theme’s ability to recognize important changes we make in hotfixes and theme updates.
