About Elara
Elara is a beautiful, featured packed, simple blogging theme. It is most suited for food blogs or fashion blogs, but can be used for a variety of purposes. Elara has a special front page that features multiple sidebar positions (top or bottom), a banner or a posts slider, featured categories, and a highlight post. You can also optionally hide the banner/slider completely. It supports a special category template, a full width page template, post sidebar positions (top or bottom), and video format posts. Elara comes built-in with social media icons / menus, as well as Instagram feed integration (with Social Images Widget). You also get several widget locations, such as two special full width widgets on the front page, sidebar widgets, header and footer widgets. The theme comes with built-in support for two of the most popular contact form plugins: Contact Form 7 and WPForms Lite. Elara is backed by world class, one-on-one support, and a super active team of developers and designers ready to help!

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