White Spektrum is a responsive theme for ClassicPress that looks great on smartphones, tablets, and everything in between. It pairs a large custom header with left and right sidebar layouts and a mobile menu placed where it’s easiest to reach.
White Spektrum 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 blog.

Child themes
Since White Spektrum 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/themesdirectory calledwhite-spektrum-child. - Then, create a
style.cssfile within your theme folder. - At the top of your
style.cssfile, add the below information.
/** * Theme Name: White Spektrum 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: white-spektrum-child * Template: white-spektrum */
Template must match the parent theme’s folder name, white-spektrum. From this point, you simply need to start adding your own styles. The White Spektrum parent theme styles will automatically be loaded for you.
