TEST – block theme builder plugin
This sounds great. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet, but I’d love to hear from you if you have. This tool basically saves your current settings and layouts to wrap them up as a theme or child theme package.

There’s a lot happening in WordPress Core, including some tweaks that won’t make the headlines. For example, here’s a real gem for people using WordPress Multisite: the addition of an indicator to make it clear “whether a theme is a child theme on the network admin Themes screen.” 💎

Kjell Reigstad over at ThemeShaper shows how to build a single-page block-based theme. He describes the experience positively: “This exercise made me truly excited about the future of theming. It took very little time to assemble the boilerplate necessary to get started, and I constructed most of the theme the editor itself. I imagine whole…
One theme to rule them all?
What does the future hold for WordPress themes, for theme developers and end users? Are we ready for a single master parent theme?

Here’s a WordPress plugin that can generate a child theme based on the Genesis Sample theme with WP-CLI.

The WordPress theme review team is adopting a new policy: Trusted Authors “will need to review [one] ticket a month to be able to have their themes set live.” 🎫 Some folks have chimed in on this policy, including Justin Tadlock. It appears there aren’t enough volunteers to review all the incoming themes. Will this…

Now for something somewhat different: the Nineteen Eighty-Five theme — a child theme for Twenty Twelve — is a cute 80s throwback, thanks to the NES.CSS project.

Mika Epstein ran into the perennial challenge of Genesis child theme users who customize their theme code. Genesis themes are all child themes for the Genesis Framework, which you shouldn’t modify. Mika’s solution was a grandchild theme plugin to keep her custom code separated from the Genesis parent and child. This has always been my…
Twenty Seventeen is 🔥
I have not been stunned — in a positive way — about a default WordPress theme design preview since Twenty Twelve. I haven’t had a major beef with any of the other default themes, but I haven’t been really wowed. Twenty Ten was a huge step because it was the first of the series and a break…

This might not be news to some, but I recently discovered Automattic has provided some tools for theme builders. Also, they’ve redesigned Themeshaper again with the nicest Twenty Sixteen child theme I’ve seen yet.
A problem with the theme customizer and child themes
In response to the recent change to require the use of the customizer for theme options, Puneet Sahalot brings up an issue with the way saving options works by default when using the customizer: To use the Live Preview feature, we need to use ‘type’ => ‘theme_mod’ and then bind it with the customizer js. Now,…
Inherit customizer settings between parent and child themes
I found this plugin today, when I had a situation come up where I needed to convert customizer settings from a parent theme to a newly installed child theme. This isn’t my first go at this. In fact, I think WordPress should auto-inherit customizer settings for child themes, so I created a ticket for it…
Layers, by Obox, introduces a beautiful page building interface
Layers is the latest WordPress theme with page building as the core feature. Obox has made a heck of an effort to ship 1.0, and while I have some issues, I’m incredibly impressed with the overall user experience. I think Obox has created something that’s worth checking out, though I think this market has plenty of maturing to do yet.
I have x and y, I just need to…
I didn’t expect to answer a question on Quora today. Most days I’m just annoyed by their emails. But today a question caught my eye, purely because I was curious what the answers were. Here was the question: I need to change the look and feel of a WP based e-commerce website with WooCommerce and…
