Some Specifics About Customization
A customization is anything that changes the way Sensei looks or functions. Each of our products is provided as-is. While we can help you configure our products within the intended capability and function, we can’t assist with the customization of our products, nor can we help troubleshoot, modify or debug custom code, or officially endorse third-party customization solutions.
Many resources are available online if you want to hire a WordPress developer or designer.
We provide some customization guidelines and developer docs; however, these are for reference/guidance only, and we cannot guarantee that they will always work as expected. Our support policy does not include assistance with modifying or debugging code from any code examples included in our developer-level documentation, and they may be changed or removed if we find they no longer work due to changes in our plugins.
We do not assist with cosmetic changes to your site. This includes but is not limited to, theme design or advice, custom CSS code, menu structure, and color or font changes.
Language
Sensei primarily provides support in English. If you contact us in a different language, we’ll do our best to translate your message and will reply in English.
