Paper is a GeneratePress child theme with the look of a printed newspaper. A bold nameplate and section bar sit over column rules, the lead story runs with its first paragraphs, and stories below follow in a photo grid with serif headlines.

Fonts, colours and layout ship with the theme and load as GeneratePress defaults, so you can change everything later in the Customizer. No page builder and no GP Premium.

What’s in the box

  • Front page with nameplate, lead story and a three-column story grid
  • All Stories page listed by year, like a newspaper index
  • Single post with centred headline, standfirst and byline
  • Footer columns for sections, pages and social links

Features

Newspaper nameplate

A bold masthead with tagline, social links, search and a ruled section bar.

Lead story with first paragraphs

The top story runs with its standfirst and opening text, like the front page of a paper.

Index by year

The All Stories page lists every story by date with its section, like a newspaper index.

Serif reading column

Newsreader headlines and Merriweather body text in a single straight column.

Works with GeneratePress Free

Design settings load as GeneratePress defaults and stay editable in the Customizer. GP Premium is not required.

Fonts included

Newsreader, Merriweather and Source Sans 3 ship inside the theme, so pages load no external font files.
