About Eksell
Eksell is a feature-rich portfolio and blog theme, with deep support for the block editor and full color settings. It includes extensive block styles and multiple prebuilt block patterns, and it styles the block editor to match the front-end of your site so you always have a good idea of what the end result will look like when you’re creating your content. Visitors can filter your posts and Jetpack Portfolio items without reloading the page with the lazyloading category filter, and full color settings in the Customizer give you easy control over all of the colors used in the theme, including the option to set a separate dark mode color scheme for devices that support it. Eksell also features a Blank Canvas page template that only outputs the content you add in the block editor, infinite scroll on archive pages, an optional search overlay, a sticky header setting, a social menu with icons, a footer menu, custom logo support, options for what post meta to display, support for the Block Templates editor, a lightweight construction for fast load times, and developer friendly code.

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