Creativity is a ClassicPress theme for showcasing your work. Its home page is built from sections for an introduction, your portfolio, and your latest posts, making it a great fit for designers, photographers, and developers.

Creativity is a parent theme. What this means is that to customize it, you should be creating a child theme. All you need to know is that it is a solid, flexible starting point for any portfolio or blog.

Features

Creativity is built on the rock-solid Backdrop Framework, so it provides a great starting point with many useful features.

• A Home page template with Header, Portfolio, and Blog sections you turn on in the Customizer. It's powered by the Backdrop Custom Portfolio plugin.
• A left or right sidebar layout for your whole site.
• Page templates for individual pages: Left Sidebar, Right Sidebar, and Custom Sidebar.
• Four widget areas: Primary, Secondary, Portfolio, and Custom.
• A large custom header image.
• Show a random "powered by" credit in the footer, or write your own.
• A settings page to choose a custom 404 page and turn off emoji scripts, the front-end toolbar, and embeds.
• Featured images, threaded comments, and translation ready.

Child themes

Since Creativity is a parent theme, you'll want to create a child theme if you plan on making any customizations. Don't know how to make a child theme? It's relatively simple. Just follow the below steps.

• Create a theme folder in your /wp-content/themes directory called creativity-child.
• Then, create a style.css file within your theme folder.
• At the top of your style.css file, add the below information.

/**
 * Theme Name: Creativity Child
 * Theme URI: https://link-to-your-site.com
 * Description: Describe what your theme should be like.
 * Version: 0.1
 * Author: Your Name
 * Author URI: https://link-to-your-site.com
 * Tags: Add, Whatever, Tags, You, Want
 * Text Domain: creativity-child
 * Template: creativity
 */

Template must match the parent theme’s folder name, creativity. From this point, you simply need to start adding your own styles. The Creativity parent theme styles will automatically be loaded for you.
