About Virtue
The Virtue is a classic theme, built before the Gutenberg block editor was created. While some support has been added for the block editor it's a WordPress legacy theme. The theme is extremely versatile with tons of options, easy to customize and loaded with great features. The clean, modern design is built with html5 and css3 and uses the powerful responsive framework from Bootstrap to be a fully responsive and mobile friendly. Virtue has support for wide and fullwidth blocks. It's fully e-commerce (Woocommerce) ready with all the tools you need to design an awesome online store. The versatile design is perfect for any business, online store, portfolio, or personal site. We built Virtue with a powerful options panel where you can set things like your home layout, sliders, custom fonts, and completely customize your look without writing any CSS. You are going to love how easy it is to create using this theme.

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