</ul>
<p><em>Disclaimer:</em> The Create Block Theme plugin offers critical developer-friendly features; you can think of it as a Development Mode for WordPress, and you should <em>keep in mind that changes made through this plugin could change your site and/or theme permanently</em>.</p>
<p>(Make sure you know what you’re doing before hitting that ‘Save’ button 😉)</p>

<li>Any fonts that are installed in the theme that have been deactivated with the WordPress Font Library will be removed from the theme.</li>
</ul>
<p>or export the theme:</p>

Create Block Theme

This plugin is the perfect way to get started building block themes. You can edit an existing theme in the editor, and export your changes to a new theme or a  child theme. 

Perfect for the new block theme developer

The direction this plugin is going is fantastic and really empowers no-code/low-code theme designers. Would love to see it integrated in Core at some point, but having this functionality in a separate feature plugin is a great first step.

Fantastic already, but lots of potential

This plugin will let you create a block theme easily. It generates all the code so you can focus on design. I hope the authors will keep up the good work on this plugin and add even more features in the future.

Works perfectly!


Love it, and it's finally a clean and easy to use solution to send our theme users to, if they want to add a custom font or create a child theme for any purpose really.It's also great to add fonts to our themes, although it would be great, if it would work with variable fonts and WOFF2.


What did you do without this before 😍


I love this. In just about a blink of the eye, I can create my own custom version of an already-built theme. Sweet!


Easy Peasy


Thanks for this. It works well. It's exciting that block theme design is low code. This plugin makes it even more low code.


Kind of a dream


As someone learning how to create block themes, I appreciate that this plugin exists to help fill the gap in knowledge!



I appreciate this plugin


After hours of setting up my blog with blocks I realized: I should really use a child theme. A practice I forgot after years of not dealing with wordpress. When I created the most basic child theme it did not inherit my settings either. This plugin did exactly that. It made a minimal child theme with all my settings intact. My only problem with it, that it instantly turn the child theme to be active and that is a risky behavior, but it did not cause problems.


just great!


I have been using this plugin since its inception.The first versions lacked functionality, there was a conceptual change in the paradigm and approach, now it is a very convenient solution for configuring and saving changes to the file system during the development of WordPress Gutenberg FSE sites.



I am grateful to the developers for such a tool that allows you to solve many tasks without unnecessary effort, I recommend it to all developers who are starting their journey to FSE development.



I will add even more: 



I have Clients, whos seen this tool at the development stage, asked to leave it for their use and they independently make global changes, after which they successfully export (commit) to the file system and these are people who have nothing to do with the code.



They simply fell in love with Gutenberg, just like me, and work with it with love and pleasure.


A good solution for WordPress developers and not only.

A WordPress plugin to create block themes.
