About ArneIron Lite
ArneIron Lite is an accessible block theme with a dark "Old Arnie" look (near-black canvas, signal-red accent), seven more style variations including a light one, and full-site-editing templates, template parts and block patterns made from core blocks. Header, mobile menu and footer work with no plugin installed; with WooCommerce or Polylang active, their cart, account and language blocks appear in the header. Optional: the free ArneIron Blocks plugin adds design blocks such as hero, pricing, FAQ and carousel.

- ✓Survive ArneIron Lite updates without losing your edits.
- ✓Override any ArneIron Lite template file by copying it into the child.
- ✓Add custom hooks, shortcodes, or enqueue your own scripts.
- ✓Roll back to the parent at any time by deactivating the child.

Generate ArneIron Lite Child ThemeFrequently asked questions
What is a ArneIron Lite child theme? +
A child theme is a separate WordPress theme that inherits all functionality, design, and templates from ArneIron Lite (its parent). You make your customizations in the child so they survive updates to the parent theme.
Do I need to know code to use this generator? +
No. The generator creates a complete, valid ArneIron Lite child theme with style.css, functions.php, screenshot.png, and README.txt. You can customize via the form fields, and if you want to add custom CSS or PHP later you can edit the files directly.
Will the child theme break when ArneIron Lite updates? +
That's exactly what a child theme is designed to prevent. ArneIron Lite can be updated freely without losing your customizations, because they live in the child theme files.
Is this generator really free? +
Yes. There is no signup, no payment, and no limit on how many ArneIron Lite child themes you can generate. The zip is built on demand and downloaded directly to you.
