About Blockstarter
Blockstarter is a lightweight starter block theme. It empowers you to take advantage of the latest full site editing experience in WordPress. The theme is extremely lightweight - only 30KB compressed file size without the fonts and images. No additional libraries or any unnecessary code to slow you down - only core Gutenberg blocks have been used. At the same time, we have made sure the theme is compatible with all the popular plugins and it even supports the good old Classic editor. Feel free to modify it, use it to learn how to create your own block theme or design your next awesome project.

Why use a child theme for Blockstarter?
Every time Blockstarter ships an update, any direct edits you made to its files are overwritten. A child theme isolates your changes — custom CSS, template overrides, additional functions — so the parent can update freely while your customizations stay intact.
- ✓Survive Blockstarter updates without losing your edits.
- ✓Override any Blockstarter 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 Blockstarter Child ThemeFrequently asked questions
What is a Blockstarter child theme? +
A child theme is a separate WordPress theme that inherits all functionality, design, and templates from Blockstarter (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 Blockstarter 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 Blockstarter updates? +
That's exactly what a child theme is designed to prevent. Blockstarter 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 Blockstarter child themes you can generate. The zip is built on demand and downloaded directly to you.
