About Twenty Twenty
Our default theme for 2020 is designed to take full advantage of the flexibility of the block editor. Organizations and businesses have the ability to create dynamic landing pages with endless layouts using the group and column blocks. The centered content column and fine-tuned typography also makes it perfect for traditional blogs. Complete editor styles give you a good idea of what your content will look like, even before you publish. You can give your site a personal touch by changing the background colors and the accent color in the Customizer. The colors of all elements on your site are automatically calculated based on the colors you pick, ensuring a high, accessible color contrast for your visitors.

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