::: danger Due to security concerns, we strongly discourage this method of using Redux without your projects. We update our software monthly which may include pathes to plug security holes. Unless you plan on updating Redux within your project regularly, the Redux plugin installed via [TGM](http://tgmpluginactivation.com/) is the preferred method.

::: danger Never, ever, EVER modify any files in `redux-core` (formerly `ReduxCore`). There are hooks, filters, etc. to bypass nearly anything.

So you have this really cool Theme or Plugin. And of course you love Redux because - let’s face it - who doesn't? You

understand how the Redux plug-in works but the concept of a theme or plugin installing another plugin escapes you. Or perhaps

you might not care for [TGM](http://tgmpluginactivation.com/) or any of its variations. What are you to do?

You've come to the right place. Embedding Redux into your theme or plugin is as easy as 1, 2, 3. You may wonder...what if your client also installs the Redux plugin? Will it conflict? The answer is no. Even better, the Redux plug-in will

**always** supersede your theme’s require of Redux. This means your clients could - hypothetically - receive updates to

Redux without any theme update from you. Pretty cool, eh?

now, as it will be difficult to change the name later. Redux may be placed into any directory or in any path

as a plug-in - can be forever updated by the user and your theme receives the benefit without you ever needing to push

Let's say you want to append some custom CSS to your panel. Here is how this is accomplished.

'http://urltomyfile',

array( 'redux-admin-css' ), // Be sure to include redux-admin-css so it's appended after the core css is applied

// This example assumes your opt_name is set to OPT_NAME, replace with your opt_name value

array( 'farbtastic' ), // Notice redux-admin-css is removed and the wordpress standard farbtastic is included instead

Tell Redux where these new files are, via the `templates_path` argument. That's it!

update an option from someplace else arises? Perhaps an option would need to be changed behind the scenes, based on certain

Redux uses Elusive Icons in our panel. Why? @aristath, a good friend of the Redux team designed the icon pack. As a

result, we can use any icon we want. We understand our choice in icon pack may not match or suit everyone's needs.

Now to use the added icons, you can do the following for a [section](../../configuration/objects/section.md) declaration:
