Getting started

Install and activate

Upload the theme zip under Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme, then activate it. On activation Unapp creates a Home page and a Blog page, assigns them under Settings → Reading, and leaves you on a finished landing page rather than an empty blog roll. If your site already has a static front page, nothing is overwritten — a notice offers the setup instead.

Requires WordPress 6.6 or later. Everything works on 6.6; WordPress 7.0 adds the Accordion, Breadcrumbs, Query Total and Terms Query blocks, which the theme uses where available and quietly omits where not.

Pick a starter site

Appearance → Starter Sites walks through three steps:

1. Choose a starter — thirteen complete designs.
2. Name and look — your site title, tagline and logo, and the palette and typeface. Each starter comes with its own pairing; change either one here and the site is built with your choice instead.
3. Finish — anything the starter depends on. A contact form has to come from a plugin, and the Shop starter needs WooCommerce. The theme never installs anything itself; it links to WordPress's installer.

You can skip the wizard entirely with Apply without setup on any card.

The thirteen designs:

Applying a starter writes its palette and typeface into Global Styles, builds the pages, creates a menu, sets the front page, changes the header button wording and swaps in that starter's footer.

Nothing is ever deleted. Applying a second starter adds new pages beside the old ones and repoints the front page; your previous pages stay in Pages.

Editing a starter page

Starter pages open in content-only mode: headings, paragraphs, images and buttons are editable, while the groups and columns that hold the layout together are locked. This stops a layout coming apart by accident. To edit the structure of a section, select it and choose Unlock from the block toolbar.

Contact forms

Unapp does not process form submissions — themes must not, and WordPress.org rejects themes that do. Instead it renders whichever form plugin you already have. Install any of WPForms, Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, Fluent Forms, Forminator, Ninja Forms, Kali Forms, Everest Forms, HappyForms or Jetpack, create one form, and it appears on every contact section automatically, styled to your palette.

With no form plugin installed, the contact sections show an email panel instead.

Changing the look

Appearance → Editor → Styles holds three separate choices:

• Colors — ten palettes, each contrast-checked for body text and buttons.
• Typography — five typeface pairings. Every pattern follows automatically.
• Browse styles — ten curated looks that pair a palette with a typeface.

Colours and typography are independent, so the ten palettes and five type presets give fifty combinations.

Dark mode

The Dark mode toggle pattern adds a button that lets a visitor read the site light or dark and remembers the choice. It keeps your palette rather than replacing it: the neutrals swap to a dark set and your own primary, secondary and accent are lightened just enough to stay legible, so a green site stays green.

Nothing loads on pages without the toggle — no stylesheet, no script.

Performance

Measured on a local WordPress 7.0 install with WooCommerce, Jetpack and a form plugin active, cold cache, at 1280px:

Most of the script weight is the active plugins rather than the theme; the theme itself ships no framework, no jQuery and no icon font, and loads its per-block stylesheets only on pages that use those blocks.
