About Hafen
Hafen is a block theme for content-led websites. It supports full site editing and includes block patterns for landing pages, posts, timelines and statistics, several style variations, a self-hosted variable font, custom colors and logo support, a sticky header with a skip link, and editor styles that match the front end.

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