About Modality

Modality is a calm, editorial business theme. Headings sit on the left, thin rules replace shadows and services read as numbered rows, in deep green and terracotta with a serif for headings. Build the homepage from 15 kinds of section in the Customizer, and shape the header, footer, blog, shop, colors and fonts with around 200 live-preview options. Block patterns match inner pages to the design. Sites updating from Modality 1.x keep their settings and a design close to their old look.

Why use a child theme for Modality?

Every time Modality 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 Modality updates without losing your edits.
  • ✓Override any Modality 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.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Modality child theme? +

A child theme is a separate WordPress theme that inherits all functionality, design, and templates from Modality (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 Modality 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 Modality updates? +

That's exactly what a child theme is designed to prevent. Modality 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 Modality child themes you can generate. The zip is built on demand and downloaded directly to you.
