Solution

    There are 2 ways to change you page contents.

    1. Manually

    If you want to manually update the code, edit the main pages are:

    • LMS:
      • edx-playform/lms/templates/main.html
    • CMS:
      • edx-playform/cms/templates/base.html
      • edx-playform/cms/templates/widgets/header.html

    2. Via a theme and its edition

    1. Get code in :
      git clone https://github.com/Stanford-Online/edx-theme /edx/app/edxapp/themes/
    2. Rename scss :
      mv _default.scss edx-theme.scss
    3. In lms.env.json, set "USE_CUSTOM_THEME": true " , "THEME_NAME": "edx-theme" in lms.env.json
    4. Edit /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform/lms/templates/index.html
