About Pulitzer
Pulitzer is a minimal blog theme designed for writers, with special consideration for newsletters. It features a reading time indicator, four different archive layouts to choose from, complete page patterns for your resume, newsletter, contact page, and archive, like and share buttons on single posts, and a newsletter subscribe form in the footer. The like/share buttons and subscribe form require the Jetpack plugin to be active and the Subscription feature to be enabled. Demo: https://pulitzer.andersnoren.se

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