A fine place to start learning themes
-
During the present semester at the multimedia design programme I used this theme for teaching WordPress. Since it’s more or less bundled with the new block editor the choice is obvious.
The didactic value of this theme is its simplicity. If you look into a page like search.php, single.php or similar you’ll get a good idea of the code you need in order to tweak any theme.
In class I used the theme as a mutual reference in tutorials and workshops, since the students explored many different themes, like Astra, Neve, and so forth.
The code and comments behind the theme is excellent.
Some users want “more fonts”. Adding fonts in custom CSS is always an option. Why give your users access to a plethora of fonts? It will ruin the design, if the users begin to add more or less fancy fonts here and there.
Some things are still kept in the dark. For instance: how to create or remove patterns. Here the documentation could be better – partly in the theme and partly on the online documentation on www.remarpro.com. Whether this is a theme or something else issue is a matter of taste.
I worked with the theme during most of 2020, and found that the pagebuilder plugins became obsolete. I simply had to remove Elementor – and friends – because the new blog editor was the tool I needed.
