• Chaplin is STILL a great starter to build with, I think theres some parts are broken abd beeds an update with the latest version of wP

    Can the editor styles be updated to reflect the front-end apparence correctly? some blocks like groups lack paddings

    Is there any changes can be made not to use coblocks as it doesnt seem necessary with the new built in features – Im assuming replace coblock with wp-block style?

    A no-title template is that necessary or to just apply display block page titles for specific pages?

    Within a child theme, can we build a layout to be a small width like in eksell instead of using the default aligned left layout? I know there is a full width option that is too wide.

    I’m trying to organize the files – cant seem to call it in functions to run. BUT best practices is using a child theme (don’t know if youre still updating these themes OTHERWISE build on it) – HOW can I remove the social font awesome codes and replace with the simple Eksell one?

    Hi @4blkstars,

    I would like to update Chaplin to work better with more recent versions of WordPress at some point, but I don’t have any current plans for it.

    You don’t need to use CoBlocks to use the theme – many of the CoBlocks features are included in Core now.

    The no-title template is for pages where you want to build all of the content yourself, allowing you to place the main heading wherever you want it in the page content.

    The way Chaplin is built makes it very tricky to create a centered page layout and have it be the default. You can add a centered content column to a page set to the wide layout, but blocks set to the wide or full alignment inside that centered content column won’t be have as expected.

    Making changes through a child theme is definitely recommended, yes. It’s likely I will release another update to Chaplin at some point, and that update will overwrite any changes you make directly to the theme files.

    Anders, Thank you for your response!

    Chaplin has an only content template – I wanted one without the title so I’m assuming I would have to build a custom template and just remove the title as similar shown with Eksell no-tutle template.

    I look forward to Chaplin update!
