Theme Horse

Hi pvollherbst,
We have designed our theme in this way. Yes you need code customization for it. Before customizing theme first you need to make the child theme and unhook the function of your blog post. Thene only you can edit it and customize the code.
Because if you didnot make the childthmee and customize the code then all your customize code will be lost while updating to our new version update theme. So we recommened you to make child theme.
