About Kahel
Kahel takes its name from the Filipino word for orange, an inspiration reflected in its warm citrus palette, energetic personality, and distinctive editorial style. Built as a native WordPress block theme, it gives publishers, writers, creatives, and organizations a polished foundation for blogs, journals, magazines, and story-driven websites. Kahel works with the Site Editor and core WordPress blocks without requiring a page builder or custom-block plugin. Its coordinated templates, patterns, block styles, expressive layouts, and customizable global styles make it approachable for new users while offering the flexibility experienced creators need.

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