Lightweight & Fast
Taproot is built with modern PHP, Javascript, and CSS. No extra libraries like jQuery are used on the front end, keeping page load times minimal.
Responsive
Taproot is fully responsive and is built with a “mobile first” approach. Settings in the customizer for sizes and spacing have separate options for mobile, tablet and desktop screens.
Customizable
Taproot can be easily customized at every step. Control site layout, colors, fonts and more in the WordPress Customizer. Custom theme templates can be added in your child theme.
Gutenberg Ready
Taproot has full support for the “Gutenberg” block editor, allowing you to create advanced page layouts right out of the box.
Pagebuilder Ready
If you prefer a page builder like Elementor, Taproot includes templates for either integrating into just the content area, or creating a completely custom page with a unique header and footer.
Sidebar Layouts
Taproot has both “full” and “boxed” layout styles available. Pages and posts can use a left or right sidebar layout, or a full layout with no sidebars.
Typography
Taproot uses system fonts by default, but also has full support for Google Fonts. Font sizes across the theme can be configured individually for each screen size.
Color Palettes
Taproot’s color palette lets you define the colors used across your site. Customizer color pickers include an alpha channel for using colors with transparency.
Single Post Settings
Taproot includes a theme settings sidebar on single posts and pages that allow you to control the sidebar layout, title visibility and placement, and custom header image.
Templates
Theme templates can be easily overridden by copying into the child theme in a specific folder.
Hooks & Filters
Taproot includes hooks and filters that can be used to extend or customize the theme content and functionality at every step.
Customizer Defaults
The default customizer settings can be easily modified to match child theme styles.
