Edit WordPress theme

I have purchased and downloaded WordPress theme. Developer told he will customise it but he wants the downloaded file. Is there any way for Developer to edit the theme online without me actually sending the downloaded file.

Honestly, I would let the developer have the files to work with how he/she chooses to do so. If you do not trust the developer to do the job he has been hired to do after sharing the files with him, I would simply find a developer that you DO trust. Starting a working relationship with someone you do not trust is a recipe for disaster.

You will pay more for crippling the developer by forcing him to use tools/editors that are not worth his time, and you will damage the relationship by demonstrating a lack of trust on your end.

If I were you, I'd find someone I can trust, and have him install wordpress for you, customize the theme and help you set up hosting. This way, you can work with him to perfect the content, give him the required assets, and do QA testing while he does the heavy lifting.

do you know how to install it in wordpress? You can install it there and let him work inside wordpress. You should also avoid full FTP access to your files

Ya it is possible.

WordPress contains two built-in editors that allow you to edit Theme files directly from within your browser. They are called the Theme Editor and Plugin Editor.

Access the Theme Editor from the Administration > Appearance > Editor menu The Plugin Editor is located at Administration > Plugins > Editor.
