Hi Jamie, I was wondering if you have a video about how to put 2 different fonts in a heading with Wordpress Gutenberg Blocks. I'd like to have one word with a script font. Thanks!

Thank you so much

But, what about doing updates and maintenance to the theme, like future security patching and making sure it is compatible with future WordPress and plugins updates?

Looks great! They should add an option to upload thumbnail to that theme export page. Or, what if it created one for you on export? That would be cool.

have you installed the create block theme plugin?

Quite funny that theme designers are getting salty at this video :-) I welcome the ability to create and adapt themes like this, because I've bought themes that were 'professionally designed' but then the designer just got bored and dropped support 6 months later, leaving me with the proverbial baby. If I wanted to hack and support my own theme, I'd have built it from scratch (and yes I know how, but I also know how much of a faff that is to do and support). So having no-code solutions is ace....although we are far from it being 100% perfect yet, but one day I'm hoping to never need to use the theme editor or custom CSS.

only show 5 options, no cloning option...... Export your theme [Export the activated theme with user changes] Create sibling of your theme [Create a new theme cloning the activated child theme. The parent theme will be the same as the parent of the currently activated theme. The resulting theme will have all of the assets of the activated theme, none of the assets provided by the parent theme, as well as user changes.] Overwrite your theme [Save USER changes as THEME changes and delete the USER changes. Your changes will be saved in the theme on the folder.] Create blank theme [Generate a boilerplate "empty" theme inside of this site's themes directory.] Create a style variation [Save user changes as a style variation of your theme.] so, which option should i choose?

So we are encouraging non technical people to start selling themes ? Wordpress is bad enough with everyone creating plugins which need updating every day and breaking everything else. Wordpress has become a mess. I’ve lost track on how many plugins I’ve bought which have been buggy and not updated (including yours Jamie I’m afraid). It’s just utter madness. Wordpress need to build in decent functionality so you don’t need all this rubbish. Reminds me of the shoe shops in hitch hikers guide to the galaxy.

Hi Stuart, the beauty about this process and block themes is that nothing can break. It's a clear separation of design and functionality, which was how wordpress themes were always intended to be designed and architected. Much of the issue you've experienced in the past, has been with plugins conflicting with each other, and using themes with in-built pagebuilders only compounds this. The great thing about block themes, and this process is that we are just using core wordpress to create the theme....no plugins, just core, which is really stable. What this opens up, is the opportunity for designers (non-technical) to create designs for websites and that's an incredibly positive step in my opinion.
