ClassicPress needs as many free starter themes as possible to attract new users. GeneratePress is a mature and powerful theme, but unfortunately the premium version does not work on CP.
So, I took a pre-block version of the free theme and did some changes. I then built a custom child theme that mimics most of the layout and functions of the premium version.
While some of the paid features are not included, the most important ones are, resulting in a very professional theme that can be used as a starter theme.
The parent theme has been set to version 9.9.9 so it will not nag for an update. Any changes you need to make can be done in the child theme and I have included text files to explain the features.
It works on both CP 1.x and 2.x and is very lightweight. You can download the zip file containing everything you need from my site here. The site is also running this theme on CP 2 and PHP 8.1 with no problems found.
Please don’t try to install the downloaded zip file. You have to unzip it first and follow the installation instructions inside.
If you do run into a problem, please let me know in a PM and I will see if I can help.
