Keepsake is a quiet WordPress block theme for people who write because they have something to say. It uses a narrow 640px reading column, large Merriweather text and Fira Sans headings, so nothing on the page asks for more attention than the words do. It is responsive, accessible and fast, with no framework and no build step.
Keepsake is a full site editing theme. Everything, from the header and footer to the templates, can be changed in the Site Editor, and wide and full-width blocks are supported for images and galleries.
Features
- A single-column layout with a 640px content width and a 1170px wide width for wide and full-width blocks.
- Merriweather for body text and Fira Sans for headings, both bundled with the theme, so no fonts are loaded from other sites.
- A light header with the site title, tagline and a navigation menu that supports dropdowns.
- Post meta with author, date and comment count, and a "Featured" label for sticky posts.
- Featured images in three sizes: small, medium and large.
- Threaded comments in a card layout with avatars, replies and a styled comment form.
- Templates for posts, pages, archives, search results, a 404 page and an optional home page.
- Translation ready, with strings that WordPress.org translators can localize.
You can follow Keepsake’s development on GitHub.
Customizing
Open Appearance → Editor to change templates and parts, and use Styles to adjust colors, fonts and spacing. Because Keepsake is built with theme.json, your choices apply across the whole site, including inside the block editor. If you want to keep your changes separate from the theme, create a child theme with a style.css that sets Template: keepsake.
