1 min read Updated Sep 2026 Puro Theme

Use a child theme to change Puro at code level. Changes you make in a parent theme file are lost when the theme updates. The file editor is at AppearanceTheme File Editor.

For the basics, see Creating a Child Theme. Below is a child theme you can download.

Install a Child Theme

  1. Download the ZIP file. Do not unzip it.
  2. Go to AppearanceThemes and click Add Theme.
  3. Click Upload Theme and choose the ZIP file.
  4. Click Install Now, then Activate.

The child theme works with both the free theme and Puro Premium. Both use the puro folder.

Starter

A basic child theme. It has an empty style.css and a functions.php file that loads the parent stylesheet. Add your changes below the comment in style.css.
