Taproot – WordPress theme

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

Taproot has full support for the “Gutenberg” block editor, allowing you to create advanced page layouts right out of the box. Taproot can also be used with third party page builder plugins like Elementor or Beaver Builder.

Layouts

Pages and posts can have default layouts set in the customizer. Each individual post or page can have a different layout as needed. There are options for left and right sidebar layouts, plus multiple options for a single column layout.

Hero Images

Custom header images can be added to a post or page. The post title can also be set to show in the the header hero area instead of in the content area.

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.

Colors

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.

Navigation

Taproot includes multiple navigation areas for adding your custom menus. These can be configured and styled in the customizer, for both mobile and desktop views.

Templates

Theme templates can be easily overridden by copying into the child theme in a specific folder. There are templates for many individual components, allowing you to customize only the parts needed.

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.
