Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the native Gutenberg editor to design my homepage?

Yes, the theme is built around block-based editing. You can arrange your content layouts directly using the default editor blocks, which removes the need for additional page-builder plugins.

Does this theme include built-in options for displaying ad banners?

Yes, you can utilize the sidebar and widget areas to insert your advertising scripts or images. This provides a straightforward way to monetize your site without needing complex third-party tools.

Is it possible to change the color scheme for the dark mode?

The theme provides settings that let you define your primary brand colors, and the dark mode is designed to automatically adjust your color palette for better contrast. You can toggle this setting in the theme options to ensure your branding remains consistent in both viewing modes.

How does the theme handle different post categories?
