Compiled from the questions we get most often via support email and pre-purchase inquiries. If you don’t see your question here, email support@fasterthemes.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

About the theme<\/h2>\n

Is the Legal theme free?<\/h3>\n

Yes. The Legal WordPress Theme itself is free and GPL-licensed. You can use it on as many sites as you want, modify it, and even redistribute modified versions (under the same GPL terms).<\/p>\n

The premium features \u2014 editorial skins, demo importer, dark mode, custom logo variants, mega-menu, schema.org markup, WOW Effects \u2014 live in the Legal Pro<\/strong> companion plugin, which is paid. The free theme is fully functional without it.<\/p>\n

Is Legal Pro a subscription?<\/h3>\n

No. Legal Pro is a one-time purchase with lifetime updates. There’s no recurring billing.<\/p>\n

Can I use Legal Pro on multiple sites?<\/h3>\n

Yes. One license activates Pro on unlimited sites you own.<\/p>\n

Will Legal Pro slow down my site?<\/h3>\n

No measurable impact. The plugin’s CSS is appended to the theme’s existing inline <style><\/code> block (no extra HTTP requests). The JavaScript is ~3KB inline. The license check runs once per day in the background and doesn’t affect page rendering.<\/p>\n

For reference: a fully-loaded Lex & Co. demo with all WOW Effects active scores 95+ on PageSpeed Insights mobile and 99+ on desktop, when hosted on a basic shared hosting plan.<\/p>\n

Customization<\/h2>\n

Can I add more than 6 practice tiles?<\/h3>\n

Not via the Customizer. The 6-tile limit was a deliberate design choice \u2014 boutique firms typically have 4\u20138 practice areas, and 6 fits the visual rhythm of the section. If you genuinely need more, override template-firm.php<\/code> in a child theme. See Child Themes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Can I have more than 4 counsel cards?<\/h3>\n

Same answer \u2014 4 was a design choice, override via child theme if needed. For larger practices (10+ counsel), consider creating a separate “Counsel” page with its own grid template rather than expanding the home-page section.<\/p>\n

Can I change the colors beyond the palette in the Customizer?<\/h3>\n

Yes. Use Custom CSS to override the CSS variables \u2014 see Adding Custom CSS<\/a>. The theme is built around design tokens, so a single variable override (e.g., --lg-accent: #1e3a5f<\/code>) cascades through the entire site.<\/p>\n

Can I disable the marquee?<\/h3>\n

Yes. Customizer \u2192 Marquee \u2192 uncheck “Show Marquee”. Without Pro, the marquee is static. With Pro WOW Effects active, you can also independently toggle the animated scrolling under Customizer \u2192 Legal Pro \u2192 WOW Effects.<\/p>\n

Can I use my own fonts?<\/h3>\n

Yes, three ways:<\/p>\n
