FAQ
Does this theme do SEO?#
It does the structural part: a correct document outline, one H1 per view, landmark elements, navigation that works without JavaScript, and light pages. It does not output meta descriptions, Open Graph tags or structured data. Those belong to an SEO plugin, and emitting them from a theme conflicts with whichever plugin you use.
Does this theme cache pages?#
No. Caching belongs to a caching plugin or your host. The theme is built to be cache friendly: it sets no cookie, starts no session, emits no nonce on the front end, and shows absolute dates, so a cached page never displays a stale "2 hours ago".
Why is there no settings page?#
Everything is in the Site Editor, where WordPress expects a block theme's settings to live.
Will it make my site faster?#
It removes what a theme usually adds: stylesheet requests, web fonts and scripts. How fast a site is for real visitors also depends on hosting, images, content and plugins, which no theme controls. The figures on the overview page are lab measurements of the theme's own share.
The menu does not collapse into a button on phones. Is that a bug?#
No, it is deliberate. A menu that opens as an overlay needs JavaScript, and this theme lets the menu wrap instead so the front page ships none of its own. If your menu is long, turn the overlay on in the Navigation block's settings; the theme keeps WordPress's navigation stylesheet, so the overlay renders as WordPress intends.
Does it work with WooCommerce?#
It does not include WooCommerce templates of its own. WooCommerce supplies block templates for the shop, cart and checkout pages in any block theme, and those work here, but a shop that needs styled store pages is better served by a theme built for one.
Which fonts does it use?#
The reader's own system font by default, so nothing is downloaded. The Editorial style uses Instrument Serif for headings, bundled with the theme under the SIL Open Font License and served from your own site.
Which WordPress and PHP versions are supported?#
WordPress 6.8 or newer and PHP 7.4 or newer. It is tested with WordPress 7.1.
