Dark mode is not enabled by default. To enable this feature go to Appearance > Customize > Dark Mode.
This will display the theme in light mode for everyone.
This will automatically adjust the appearance based on the users OS appearance/color preference.
The recommended way to edit the theme is to create a child theme.
This will ensure that none of your changes will be lost when you update the theme.
The CSS and JS files are compiled and minified using Gulp. You'll need Node, Yarn and Gulp installed globally.
From the theme's root directory run:
$ yarn install
$ yarn dev
Now you can edit files in /css/
and /js/
, which will be compiled to /built/
automatically.
The zip Gulp task packages the theme files into dist/geist.zip
, which you can then upload to your WordPress site.
$ yarn zip
Geist uses inline SVG icons, included. You can find all icons inside /template-parts/icons
.
To use an icon just use the get_template_part() function:
<?php get_template_part('template-parts/icons/website'); ?>
