About Purple
Purple is a WooCommerce starter theme made for the Site Editor and modern commerce. Its clean styles and adaptable color system suit any catalog: fashion and clothing, jewelry, beauty, home decor, food and drink, or digital downloads. Commerce-ready templates and curated patterns cover the storefront from product pages and filterable shop views to cart and checkout. Ten color palettes and ten font pairings make it easy to match your brand in a click, and the theme works well with Jetpack blocks, supports RTL languages, and is fully translation-ready. Whether you’re launching your first online store or refreshing an established one, Purple is a versatile foundation for selling with WordPress and WooCommerce.

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