About Ephemeris
The Ephemeris theme is a clean, fast and simple platform for creating beautiful, responsive custom WordPress themes. It's a simple starter theme built on HTML5 & CSS3. At its core is a fluid, responsive grid based on percentages, making for a flexible layout. It incorporates a set of common templates, support for WordPress Post Formats and the gorgeous, retina friendly Font Awesome icon font. Ephemeris is a true multi-purpose theme. With its extensive use of hooks, developers will find it a breeze to customise and extend. Ephemeris is WooCommerce and bbPress compatible, Multilingual Ready (WPML), translatable, and provides RTL language support. It's also compatible with a wide range of popular page builders such as Elementor, Divi Builder, Beaver Builder, SiteOrigin Page Builder and Visual Composer. On top of that, if Elementor is your Page Builder of choice, then you also get the ability to use your own custom header and footer templates that you've created with Elementor, rather than the default theme header and footer, if you so choose. Ephemeris also supports the new WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg). By loading fonts from Bunny Fonts, instead of Google Fonts, Ephemeris remains completely GDPR Compliant. Bunny Fonts is a drop-in replacement for Google Fonts, but without the tracking, and has zero logging, and no data sharing. Now that's pretty cool, eh!

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