Which port should be used to view theme editor on localhost BigCommerce?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 1:19 am

When working on your BigCommerce theme, it’s important to have a localhost instance of the theme editor open in order to make changes. There are a few different ports that you can use to view the theme editor on localhost.

PRO TIP: The theme editor is only accessible from the BigCommerce Control Panel. To access the theme editor, you must be logged in to your store as the Store Owner.

The most common port is port 80, but you can also use port 443 if you need to encrypt traffic. .

When you’re working on your theme, it’s best to use a localhost connection so that you can make changes without affecting your live website. If you need to share your theme edits with other members of your team, you can use a remote connection to the theme editor.
