Create Block Theme

Descripción

This plugin allows you to:

  • Create a new theme, blank theme, child theme or style variation.
  • List and preview font families and font faces embeded in your theme.
  • Embed Google Fonts in your theme.
  • Embed local font assets in your theme.

The plugin is development only — not intended for use on production websites, but used as a tool to create new themes.

Step 1 – Setup

Install and activate the Create Block Theme plugin.

In the WordPress Admin Dashboard, under Appearance there will be three new pages called:

  • Create Block Theme
  • Manage fonts

Step 2 – Style Customizations

Make changes to your site styles and templates using the Site Editor. You can also include new fonts using the plugin options.

Step 3 – Export

Still in the WordPress dashboard, navigate to «Appearance» -> «Create Block Theme» section. Select one of the available options and then, if necessary, add the details for the theme here. These details will be used in the style.css file. Click «Generate” button, to save the theme.

General Troobleshooting

If you are having problems, please try the following:

  • Make sure you have the latest version of WordPress installed.
  • Make sure you have the latest version of the plugin installed.
  • Deactivate all plugins and see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
  • Switch the theme to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems.
  • Check the Support forum for similar issues.

  • First follow the general troubleshooting steps above.
  • Please make sure you WP_DEBUG setting in your wp-config.php file is set to false like this: define( 'WP_DEBUG', false );.
  • If your theme includes PHP files, ensure those files do not use PHP closing tags ?> at the end of the file. If they do, remove them.

Works well with the built-in theme editor. Its a shame the theme editor itself is not better.

This is essential for theme devs. Or anyone working with child themes.

I love this. In just about a blink of the eye, I can create my own custom version of an already-built theme. Sweet!

I love this plugin! It allows me to install fonts from Google easily and quickly. It hosts selected Google fonts locally, which improves the performance and reduces name lookups to load the font off the Google CDN. It works well with 2023 theme and has a simple interface. I had some issues with permissions at first, but I found the solution in the support forum. The development team is very responsive and helpful. Thank you for creating such a great plugin! 👍 Here is a video showing how you can install fonts with this plugin: youtu.be/ERIz3diT9Sk?t=880

This is amazing work. Fonts, custom patterns, it all gets carried over. For me something important is missing: If I tinker with the theme a bit and export it, there is no way to change the version number. Every time I import a new version of the exported theme it gets imported as a new theme. I tried editing the version number in the zip file but that doesn't change it.
