About Shapely
Shapely is a one-page WordPress theme for business, portfolio and small e-commerce sites. The front page is assembled from widgets, so you can stack parallax sections, a portfolio grid, testimonials, a client logo carousel, a call to action and a contact block in whatever order you need. It also ships conventional blog templates with a choice of left, right, full-width or no sidebar, four footer widget areas, and a social icon menu. WooCommerce and Jetpack are supported, and the theme is translation ready.

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