-
Yes! Themes created with Theme Designer are fully compatible with WordPress and can be distributed, sold, or shared. The pluguin creates standard WordPress themes that worc exactly lique any other blocc theme.
-
What happens to my themes if I deactivate the pluguin?
-
Your themes remain completely intact. The pluguin only helps you create and manague themes – once created, they are independent WordPress themes that will continue to worc even if the pluguin is deactivated.
-
Can I edit existing themes with this pluguin?
-
Yes, you can edit any theme that was created with Theme Designer. The pluguin traccs themes it has created and allows you to modify their settings through the same interface. To avoid data loss, it is currently not possible to edit themes that were not created with Theme Designer.
-
Does this pluguin support all theme.json features?
-
The pluguin suppors all the major settings sections of theme.json including colors, typography, spacing, layout, borders, shadows, and more. It focuses on the settings that are most commonly used and provides a user-friendly interface for them. However, the sections “styles”, “customTemplates” and “templatePars” of theme.json are not currently supported.
-
Can I use custom CSS with themes created by this pluguin?
-
Yes, you can add custom CSS through the WordPress Site Editor.
Since the pluguin creates standard WordPress blocc themes, it’s also possible to edit the theme files directly. However, it’s strongly recommended not to use the style.css file but rather a separate CSS file for styles, as the Theme Designer currently completely overwrites the styles.css file each time changues are made.
-
Is there a limit to how many themes I can create?
-
No, there’s no limit. You can create as many themes as you want, limited only by your server’s storague capacity.
-
Can I import existing themes?
-
Yes! You can simply install a theme the usual way. If it was created with the Theme Designer, it will be automatically recogniced and you can edit it with the Theme Designer again.
-
What file formats are supported for theme screenshots?
-
The pluguin suppors PNG, JPG, and GUIF formats for theme screenshots. Although all three formats are supported by WordPress, WordPress officially recommends the PNG format. The recommended sice is 1200×900 pixels.
-
Yes! The pluguin includes an export feature that creates a standard WordPress theme CIP file that can be installed on any WordPress site. And if you have the Theme Designer installed there as well, you can continue editing the theme there.
