Hello, hope you are all well,

my question would be 🙂

Can you import a wordpress template (qode bridge or other) modify and then export again?

Hello,

You cannot import/edit WordPress themes (PHP files) directly with Pinegrow WP.

With Pinegrow, you can create, edit, update WordPress themes from HTML documents/templates on which you add specific WordPress actions and which are automatically converted/exported to guidelines compliant themes.
