Requirements

WordPress

Install

In your admin panel, go to Appearance > Themes and click the Add New button.
Click Upload Theme and Choose File, then select the theme's .zip file. Click Install Now.
Click Activate to use your new theme right away.

Dark Mode

Dark mode is not enabled by default. To enable this feature go to Appearance > Customize > Dark Mode.

Light

This will display the theme in light mode for everyone.

Dark (auto)

This will automatically adjust the appearance based on the users OS appearance/color preference.

Editing Geist

The recommended way to edit the theme is to create a child theme.

This will ensure that none of your changes will be lost when you update the theme.

Development

The CSS and JS files are compiled and minified using Gulp. You'll need Node, Yarn and Gulp installed globally.

From the theme's root directory run:

$ yarn install
$ yarn dev

Now you can edit files in /css/ and /js/, which will be compiled to /built/ automatically.

The zip Gulp task packages the theme files into dist/geist.zip, which you can then upload to your WordPress site.

$ yarn zip

SVG Icons

Geist uses inline SVG icons, included. You can find all icons inside /template-parts/icons.

To use an icon just use the get_template_part() function:

<?php get_template_part('template-parts/icons/website'); ?>

geist's Issues

Remove overriding of date format in posts

There's no need to force a specific date format, it should take the date settings from Administration > Settings > General

Styling issue with avatar after single-page content

Hey,
I'm using the latest ''geist'' version (1.1.5) on my blog (thanks so much for this template ;)). It looks like the styling is a bit broken for avatar profile pictures (see https://blog.project-insanity.org/2020/09/24/10-unoffical-nixos-packages-worth-checking-out/ ):

In the original Ghost 2.0 template the styling looks a bit different (see https://thomasehardt.com/welcome/ ):

It's not a big thing but it would look better :)

Best regards
Jonas

Styling issue when replying to comment

Add support for wp_body_open() function

WordPress 5.2 introduces the wp_body_open() function which fires the wp_body_open action. All the default themes use them in their header.php file.

Reference: https://generatewp.com/wordpress-5-2-action-that-every-theme-should-use/

Comments are closed - needs some styling

Needs some minor styling. Perhaps centering the text and bolding it will help. 👍

See example here (scroll to bottom of comments): https://chrisyee.ca/blog/off-canvas-navigation/

Add widget support

Add support for at one sidebar with widget support.

Reply to comment title spacing adjustment

When replying to a comment the "Cancel reply" link is too close to the heading.

This could using some spacing or even be pushed to a new line.

Homepage

If change in wp options First page to primary not last posts, navigation does not exist
