Aaron

Carolina on

Aaron is a responsive, accessibility-ready theme.

Features include Call to Action and front page Highlights that will grab your visitors attention and help you feature different parts of your website. The theme has two optional menus (including a social menu) and three widget areas that will hold any number of widgets.

Want to run Aaron on a company website rather than a blog? No problem, just hide the meta, the sidebars, and turn off your comments.

I recommend that you install the Jetpack plugin to make full use of supported features like logos, featured content, contact forms and social sharing. To create a portfolio, install Jetpack and create your projects, all the templates are already shipped with the theme. Aaron also works well with WooCommerce and bbPress.

Aaron has evolved from the user comments, requests and questions that has been sent in. Thank you for contributing and helping me make a better theme.

2018 fall updates

Carolina on

While we are waiting for WordPress to release it’s new editor, you can expect several smaller updates to fine tune the styling of the theme. 
I want the editor and the front to match, but I still want it too look and feel like the same theme.

Version 3.4, 2018-10-19

  • Housekeeping: Updated links. Updated credits in the readme file.
  • CSS and PHP code style changes according to WordPress coding standards.
  • Removed the JavaScript in navigation.js that added the screen reader text to the tag cloud and the alt text to the featured images, since this has been fixed in WordPress core.
  • Fixed a problem with a font not loading in the new editor.

Version 3.3, 2018-10-06

  • Corrected the position of the category and portfolio icons.
  • Fixed a styling problem with displaying the Jetpack testimonials in the search results.
  • Made sure that the content width option only affects screens wider than 640 pixels.
  • Added support for wp-block-styles to better match the Gutenberg editor, and improved the styling of some elements including the button block.
  • Added a blank template that you can use if you only want to display Gutenberg blocks.
