About Parr
Parr is a portfolio theme tailored for photographers. Inspired by the bold, documentary energy of Martin Parr, it puts imagery front and centre with clean layouts, space for captions, and visual storytelling. Designed to feel editorial and minimal, Parr balances simplicity with character — allowing saturated photographs and ironic details to stand out without distraction. Whether showcasing long-form projects, individual images, or curated series, the theme offers a structured yet flexible canvas for contemporary documentary and street photographers who want their work to feel honest, vibrant, and engaging.

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