Quick Tips[edit]
- Important: Do not delete the default template files using FTP because it generates an error in both the front-end and back-end.
- Before editing the HTML and the CSS file of the template, it is a good idea to make a backup of the file you are editing. Also, you can edit these files outside of Joomla! using the HTML or CSS editor of your choice.
