FAQ
No. Blanky Nordic is a child theme built specifically on Blanky's class names and CSS custom properties. Blanky must be installed as the parent theme.
Your posts, pages, and media are completely untouched. Blanky Nordic only changes the visual design — templates, patterns, CSS, and color tokens.
Yes. The color palette is defined in theme.json and can be overridden from Appearance → Editor → Styles. No code needed.
Updates are delivered directly through your WordPress admin dashboard — the same way you update any theme. You'll see a notification when a new version is available.
System fonts only — no external font requests. The sans-serif stack uses each OS's native system font, and the serif stack uses Georgia as the primary font. Fast and private.
