OK, this is very informative! @braddalton, good to know that it can be done. I will be taking a look into what makes the two codes different. I can see some major note taking in my future!
@andrea rennick, I saw where Foodie speaks of a recipe plug in, but I couldn't tell if that plug in was just for the 'print' feature of the recipe or if that plug in was what made the layout of the blog posts. I am learning more and more at how to look at these templates!@easysnark, thank you! I appreciate you confirming what I was feeling already. lol It is apparent to me that I won't be just purchasing one child theme. I took a closer look at the recipe plugin to see it's features, and I didn't know that you can just add it to any layout. I thought that if the template didn't say it was set up for it, it wouldn't work. I think I will in the beginning just pick one theme, learn to work that one before purchasing second theme.
Thank you all for the advice. It is nice to know that questions can be answered here, especially since it's going to be a steep curve! I am beginning to see some of the differences in these templates and I understand how one can become a collector of templates!
I have NO experience with either PHP or CSS, but was hopeful that I could learn enough code for a specific feature.
I have been reading that it is better to have things in CSS instead of PHP, is that a valid statement?
Thanks for the idea that I could just combine features from different themes.thank you for your reply. Let me try to be more specific.
I want a blog for recipes. (#1 priority).
I want mobile readiness.
I want to be able to load my custom logo to the header page. I want to be able to change some layouts from grid columns to single column. ie: instead of having 2 pictures in a row as blog archives, make them only 1 across. (all secondary priorities)So, for coding purposes, should I go with the 3rd party design Foodie to capture the coding for the recipe index and just deal with the layout until I hire designer, or is there a learnable way to add the recipe index to a SP theme like Lifestyle Pro?
I don't want to end up with a 'bloated coded design'. lol
