A while back I wrote a thing about using the More tag in Twenty Seventeen theme, and because this site uses a (hastily put together) child theme of WordPress Twenty Seventeen theme, and I described that in a little detail, people started coming into this site looking for that.
Hey isn’t there a simple Twenty Seventeen child theme I can just download and get hacking away at? I wondered. There wasn’t. At least, I couldn’t see one.
So today, I released my own.
Links & Downloads
- You can find the Twenty Seventeen Child Theme on Github here.

How to make edits
Make any edits in this child theme – first copy the template from the parent Twenty Seventeen theme into the child theme, then start editing!
Mainly this is used for style.css changes (fonts, colors, etc). In my site, right here, I turn off the Google Fonts, for example, and pull these to local. I did this because I’m a bit of a WordPress speed freak. In fact, I sell a WordPress speed optimization service over at Silicon Dales.
