Description

The official Material Design plugin for WordPress. Customize your site’s navigation, colors, typography, and shapes, use Material Components, and choose from over 1,000 Google Fonts and Material Design icons. From the team behind Google’s open-source design system.

It’s easy to get up and running with Material Design for WordPress:

Install Material Theme & examples

The theme applies Material Design principles and Material Theming to your site, so you can customize its style. Example layouts include pages for home, about, projects, blog, and contact.

Customize your Theme

Set up and preview your global theme styles within the customizer. Choose colors, typography, shapes, and icons to express your unique style.

Build with Material Blocks

Add Material Components like buttons and cards, and create layouts for things like image-heavy pages or styled contact forms. Customize the look of your blocks by adjusting global theme styles, or setting the style of a single component in the block editor.

Apply your Theme

Implement your colors, shapes, and typography for built-in WordPress elements like your site’s header and footer.

Buggy Disappointment

Using the buttons in the Gutenberg editor caused problems. The preview keeps breaking. The cards are basically unusable, because they only allow very basic text without any formatting. They show the markup for any html you try to use to add an image or headline or bold... Cards look ok in the editor, but not on the front end. I tried the theme as well, but not any better. I gave up there. I was really excited to use these, but had to uninstall.
