Q: Hi Sebastian, Thank you for bringing your product to Appsumo.
My question is the applicability of MicroThemer to the Voxel Wordpress directory theme at getvoxel.io
So basically, I would design a base CPT (Custom Post Type) template with elementor and then content is pulled into that CPT on individual listing pages. I was wondering if it is possible to make changes on the base CPT.
I would really appreciate any feedback on this.

Thanks for your question.
I think this should be possible. I'm not familiar with this specific theme, but Microthemer can style any frontend content. Your element CPT template can be given a class on the outer wrapper element e.g. "my-base-cpt". This wrapper class will be present on each instance of the template on the individual listing pages. When styling the template content, you would make sure that Microthemer is targeting elements based on this common class, rather than any classes that might be specific to the single instance of the template, such as:
.my-base-cpt
Or
.my-base-cpt h2
The default CSS selectors Microthemer uses for targeting elements will not always use your "my-base-cpt" class (unless you are very lucky). But you can choose alternative CSS selectors at the point of selecting elements, to ensure .my-base-cpt is used. The following video explains how to select elements with Microthemer:

I hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Thanks,
Sebastian
