About Crio
Crio is a WordPress SuperTheme that allows front-end designers, developers and other web professionals to create without bounds or restrictions. Crio's advanced customization options are completely integrated with the WordPress Customizer API, providing you with a powerful, but familiar interface to customize your website. Our integration gives you granular control over many elements straight from the Customizer, and even device previews so you can see how your site looks on different devices. Crio’s unique color palette system keeps colors consistent across your site. Drag and drop colors in your palette to increase or decrease the usage of that color throughout your website. Use the advanced controls to create a custom Header, Footer, or Blog Page layout. Be Bold and stand above the rest with Prime by BoldGrid!

Why use a child theme for Crio?
Every time Crio 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 Crio updates without losing your edits.
- ✓Override any Crio 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 Crio Child ThemeFrequently asked questions
What is a Crio child theme? +
A child theme is a separate WordPress theme that inherits all functionality, design, and templates from Crio (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 Crio 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 Crio updates? +
That's exactly what a child theme is designed to prevent. Crio 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 Crio child themes you can generate. The zip is built on demand and downloaded directly to you.
