About Open Tabs
An independent publication block theme in white and green. The newest story leads with a full-width headline above a panoramic photograph, followed by a four-column band of recent headlines, a two-column story feed and a pale green note linking to About and Contact; a narrow Journal archive with small square photographs; articles with a lead photograph, a comfortable serif reading column, and related stories from the same section.

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