About Pinnacle
Pinnacle is a "Classic" theme built before the WordPress Block editor was created. While it supports the block editor, it wasn't built to be optimized for the block editor (because the block editor wasn't created). Pinnacle is a bold theme with a versatile theme options panel for multiple styles. Its fully responsive layout makes for easy navigation on mobile/tablet displays. Pinnacle is fully compatible with woocommerce and gives you a unique layout for an e-commerce site.

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