Hypermarket

Hypermarket is a modern WooCommerce theme built for stores that want the flexibility of the block editor with the polished structure of a professionally designed ecommerce layout. It is a Full Site Editing theme, which means you can edit not only the content of your pages, but also major parts of the site structure such as templates, headers, footers, and global design styles directly inside the WordPress Site Editor.

Hypermarket is designed for stores that need more than a simple blog theme with WooCommerce compatibility. It includes store-focused templates, starter patterns, layout blocks, and product presentation tools to help you build:

• a conversion-focused homepage
• category-driven shopping pages
• polished product pages
• branded content pages
• FAQ and support sections
• contact and store location pages
• a coming soon or pre-launch experience

Rather than relying on a large panel of theme options, Hypermarket uses the native WordPress editing experience. This makes the theme more visual, more flexible, and easier to scale as WordPress evolves.

Before You Start

↑ Back to top

Before customizing the theme, it helps to understand how Hypermarket is built.

How the theme works

↑ Back to top

Hypermarket is organized around four main building blocks:

Templates

Templates control the overall layout of different types of pages. For example, your homepage, product page, cart page, blog page, and archives all use templates.

A template is the structure around your content. It decides where the header appears, how the intro area behaves, how the page flows, and where the footer sits.

Template Parts

Template parts are reusable sections that are inserted into templates. In Hypermarket, the most important template parts are the Header and Footer, but there are also store-related parts used for WooCommerce layouts.

You edit these once, and the change can affect many parts of the site.

Patterns

Patterns are ready-made content sections or complete page layouts. They are designed to help you build faster. Instead of creating every section manually, you can insert a finished layout and replace the content with your own.

Hypermarket includes both page patterns and smaller section patterns.

Blocks

Blocks are the core editing units used in WordPress. Hypermarket includes standard WordPress blocks, WooCommerce blocks, and several custom theme blocks.

The custom blocks are especially important because they add store-specific features such as contact layouts, countdown timers, sharing buttons, category grids, team members, and video modals.

Install WooCommerce

↑ Back to top

Hypermarket is built specifically for WooCommerce. While some general content layouts can work without it, the store templates, product layouts, and many theme patterns depend on WooCommerce being installed and active.

If WooCommerce is not installed, WordPress or the theme setup flow may prompt you to install it.

To install it manually:

1. Go to Plugins > Add New.
2. Search for WooCommerce.
3. Click Install Now.
4. Click Activate.

Once WooCommerce is active, Hypermarket’s product templates and commerce-related patterns can work as intended.

Recommended Plugins

↑ Back to top

Hypermarket works best with WooCommerce alone, but some design areas and demo-style sections are intended to work alongside a few additional plugins.

Contact Form Plugin

A contact form plugin is recommended for pages such as:

• Contact page
• Support page
• Coming soon page
• Notify me sections

The demo-style content you shared uses Contact Form 7. That is a suitable option if you want a free and lightweight contact form solution.

Newsletter Plugin

↑ Back to top

The theme footer includes a subscription area using a Mailchimp form block. To make that area functional, install MC4WP: Mailchimp for WordPress and create a form.

Example newsletter form:

<div class="hypermarket-inline-newsletter">
  <input type="email" name="EMAIL" placeholder="Your e-mail" required>
  <input type="submit" aria-label="Send">
</div>

This is especially useful if your store wants to:

• collect newsletter subscribers
• announce product launches
• promote offers
• capture leads before launch

Using the Site Editor

↑ Back to top

Because Hypermarket is a Full Site Editing theme, the main place you will work is:

Appearance > Editor

This is where you can edit:

• templates
• template parts
• patterns
• styles
• page layouts
• block-based site structure

This is one of the biggest differences between Hypermarket and older WordPress themes. Instead of depending on a large set of theme options pages, you make changes visually and directly in the editor.

Creating Your Homepage

↑ Back to top

Recommended homepage setup

↑ Back to top

The easiest and most complete way to build a homepage in Hypermarket is to create a new page and start from the Landing Page pattern.

Steps

1. Go to Pages > Add New.
2. When the Choose a Pattern modal appears, select Landing Page.
3. Enter your page title.
4. Replace the example text, headings, product selections, and images with your own content.
5. Publish the page.
6. Go to Settings > Reading.
7. Set Front page displays to A static page.
8. Choose the page you created as your homepage.
9. Save changes.

Your selected page will now be used as the homepage.

Why the Landing Page pattern matters

↑ Back to top

The Landing Page pattern is not just a decorative page layout. It is a structured homepage designed to support ecommerce browsing and promotion.

It can include sections such as:

• a hero or banner area
• category navigation
• featured collections
• promotional offers
• product highlights
• services or trust areas
• brand sections
• media or video sections

Using this pattern saves time and also gives your homepage a better commercial structure from the start.

Important note about category thumbnails

↑ Back to top

If your homepage displays product categories in visual tiles or cards, you must add thumbnail images to those categories in WooCommerce.

To do that:

1. Go to Products > Categories.
2. Edit the category you want to display.
3. Add a Thumbnail image.
4. Save the category.

Without category thumbnails, visual category sections will not look complete.

Creating a Blog Page

↑ Back to top

If you want to publish blog posts in addition to running a store, create a second page for your posts archive.

Steps

1. Go to Pages > Add New.
2. Create a blank page, for example Blog.
3. Publish it.
4. Go to Settings > Reading.
5. Under Posts page, select that page.
6. Save changes.

This gives your site:

• one static homepage for store content
• one posts page for your blog archive

This is a common setup for ecommerce sites that publish guides, news, or brand content.

Global Styles and Design Settings

↑ Back to top

Where to edit site styles

↑ Back to top

Go to:

Appearance > Editor > Styles

This is where you control the global appearance of the site.

What you can change in Styles

↑ Back to top

From the Styles area, you can edit:

• color palette
• typography
• spacing
• block styles
• global design settings
• style variations

This is one of the most important areas in the theme because it affects the entire site consistently.

Style variations included in Hypermarket

↑ Back to top

Hypermarket includes several ready-made style variations:

• Default
• Amber
• Blush
• Leaf
• Cyan
• Midnight Calm
• Warm Charcoal

These style variations are helpful when you want to give the site a different visual mood without rebuilding the design from scratch.

For example:

• a calm or minimal store might suit Midnight Calm
• a warm lifestyle or fashion store might suit Blush
• a natural or organic store might suit Leaf
• a stronger promotional store may fit Amber

Why style variations are useful

↑ Back to top

Instead of changing every heading, button, and background manually, style variations let you switch to a more cohesive preset.

This is especially helpful when:

• launching a site quickly
• deciding on brand direction
• refreshing the look of an existing store
• maintaining visual consistency across templates and pages

Template Parts

↑ Back to top

Template parts are reusable site sections. In Hypermarket, the two most important ones are the Header and Footer.

Site Header

↑ Back to top

What the header includes

Hypermarket’s main header includes:

• Site Logo
• Site Title
• Navigation
• Customer Account icon
• Mini Cart

This is a focused ecommerce header designed to keep the most important store tools within reach.

Why the header is important

The header is the first repeated interface your visitors interact with across the site. It affects:

• navigation clarity
• product discovery
• account access
• cart visibility
• brand identity

A good store header should not feel cluttered, but it also needs to keep store actions visible.

How to edit the header

1. Go to Appearance > Editor.
2. Open Patterns or the template parts area.
3. Select Header.
4. Edit the content.

You can change:

• site logo
• site title visibility
• navigation menu
• position and surrounding spacing
• account icon area
• mini cart placement

Header customization tips

Logo
Use a transparent logo image when possible for the cleanest result. Make sure the size fits the header space well.

Site Title
You can keep the site title alongside the logo for a more text-forward brand identity, or hide it if your logo already contains your brand name.

Navigation
Keep the main menu focused on the most important destinations, such as:

• Shop
• Categories
• Offers
• About
• Contact

Avoid overcrowding the menu with too many links.

Account icon
This is especially useful for returning customers. Keep it visible if your store supports accounts, order tracking, or saved purchases.

Mini Cart
The mini cart is one of the most useful conversion-oriented parts of the header. It reminds users that items have been added and gives fast access to the cart.

Site Footer

↑ Back to top

What the footer includes

The Hypermarket footer is structured as a three-column footer containing:

Support and social section

This area includes support text, phone details, social icons, and lower footer text.

Subscription section

This area includes newsletter text and a Mailchimp for WordPress form block.

Payment methods section

This area includes payment-related messaging and a payment methods image.

Why the footer matters

Many store owners treat the footer as an afterthought, but in Hypermarket it plays an important role in:

• support reassurance
• trust building
• subscriber capture
• payment confidence

A well-configured footer can help convert hesitant buyers and support returning visitors.

How to edit the footer

1. Go to Appearance > Editor.
2. Open Patterns or template parts.
3. Select Footer.
4. Replace the placeholder or demo content with your own.

What to customize

Make sure you update:

• support phone number
• social media links
• newsletter wording
• Mailchimp form integration
• payment methods image if needed
• store copyright text

Newsletter area note

The subscription section depends on the Mailchimp for WordPress plugin. If that plugin is not installed or configured, the newsletter form may not function properly.

Footer newsletter form:

<div class="hypermarket-inline-newsletter">
  <input type="email" name="EMAIL" placeholder="Your e-mail" required>
  <input type="submit" aria-label="Send">
</div>

Product Quick View

↑ Back to top

The Product Quick View feature allows customers to preview product details without leaving the current page. Instead of opening a full product page, the product information appears in a modal overlay.

This helps customers browse faster and compare products more easily, especially on shop and category pages.

Where to find it

↑ Back to top

The Product Quick View layout is managed as part of the theme’s template parts.

To access and customize it:

1. Navigate to Appearance > Editor
2. Open the Templates or Patterns / Template Parts section
3. Locate the Product Quick View layout.

What you can customize

↑ Back to top

You can adjust the appearance and structure of the Quick View experience, including:

• Product image layout inside the modal
• Product title, price, and summary display
• Add to Cart button placement
• Spacing and alignment
• Visual styling through global styles

Changes will apply to all instances where Quick View is used across the store.

Templates

↑ Back to top

Hypermarket includes multiple site templates that control the appearance of key page types.

Understanding what each template does will help you customize the right area of the site.

Front Page Template

↑ Back to top

The Front Page template controls the homepage structure. If your homepage is set to a static page, this template wraps that page content with the theme’s overall structure.

This is important because your homepage page content and your homepage template work together:

• the page content contains sections like banners, products, and categories
• the template controls the page-level frame around that content

Best use case

Use the Front Page template when you want to change how the homepage behaves globally.

Blog Home Template

↑ Back to top

The Blog Home template is used for your posts archive page.

It controls how the list of latest blog posts is displayed and how the blog page fits into the theme’s overall structure.

Best use case

Use it to customize:

• blog archive layout
• intro area
• how posts are listed
• hero or page banner context for blog pages

All Archives Template

↑ Back to top

This is the fallback archive template used when a more specific archive template is not available.

It may apply to:

• author archives
• date archives
• tag archives
• category archives
• custom content archives

Best use case

Use it when you want a consistent default archive appearance across non-product archive pages.

Author Archives Template

↑ Back to top

This template is specifically for author archives.

Best use case

Useful for sites with multiple writers or branded editorial content.

Index Template

↑ Back to top

This is the fallback template used when no more specific template exists.

Best use case

You may not need to customize it often, but it serves as a safety net in the theme structure.

Pages Template

↑ Back to top

The Pages template is the standard default template for normal pages.

It is suitable for pages such as:

• About
• Shipping
• Returns
• Policies
• Contact
• FAQ

This template usually includes the theme’s standard page intro presentation.

Best use case

Use this template when you want a structured, conventional content page with normal page framing.

Page Featured Image Template

↑ Back to top

This template is designed for pages where the featured image should be shown prominently as a hero-style visual above the content.

Best use case

This works well for:

• About pages
• campaign pages
• visual storytelling pages
• brand pages
• editorial landing pages

Why use it

It helps pages feel more visual and premium without requiring you to build a full custom hero section manually.

Page No Title Template

↑ Back to top

The Page No Title template removes the normal intro/title area and reduces the space between the header and the main page content.

This is one of the most useful templates in Hypermarket.

Best use case

Use it for pages where the content already includes its own visual introduction, such as:

• landing pages
• contact pages with embedded banner sections
• campaign pages
• pattern-based custom layouts
• pages where you want no duplicate title display

Why use it

It gives you a cleaner canvas and avoids the standard page header when it would interfere with a custom design.

404 Template

↑ Back to top

This template controls the not-found page shown when visitors try to access a missing URL.

Best use case

Customize it so your 404 page feels branded and useful rather than empty or generic.

A good 404 page can include:

• a friendly message
• a search block
• links to popular categories
• a button back to the homepage

Product Catalog Template

↑ Back to top

The Product Catalog template is used for the shop page and store archive presentation.

This is one of the most important templates in Hypermarket because it shapes the browsing experience for products.

The theme uses a layout that supports sidebars and filtering, making product discovery easier.

Best use case

Use it to refine how products are listed, how filters appear, and how the store browsing experience feels.

Product Search Results Template

↑ Back to top

This template controls search results specifically for products.

Best use case

Useful for improving product search usability, especially if your store expects visitors to search directly for items.

Search Results Template

↑ Back to top

This handles general site-wide search results, not only products.

Best use case

Useful for sites that combine products and content, such as a store with blog posts, buying guides, and help pages.

Single Posts Template

↑ Back to top

This template defines how individual blog posts are displayed across your site. It structures the full reading experience, including the post header, content area, navigation, and supporting sections.

It also includes a Best Sellers product block to surface relevant items, along with a comments section to support discussion and engagement directly on the post.

Best use case

Use this template to shape long-form content such as articles, guides, and editorial posts, while also connecting readers to products and encouraging interaction through comments.

Single Product Template

↑ Back to top

Hypermarket includes two product page layouts, each designed for a different type of product presentation.

The single product template is intentionally minimal. It places the product image at the center, followed by the title, price, short description, and key details in a clean vertical flow. The structure keeps distractions low and prioritizes focus on the product itself.

Below the main section, tabs organize additional information, while related products appear at the end to support cross-selling.

Best use case

Use this template for products that benefit from a calm, distraction-free layout; where the image and essential details should take the lead without added complexity.

Single Product – Modern Template

↑ Back to top

This layout introduces a more structured and content-rich presentation. It places the gallery and product summary side by side, creating a clearer visual hierarchy and more space for detailed content.

It includes:

• a prominent product gallery with side thumbnails
• a dedicated summary panel with price, description, and actions
• expanded sections for description and additional information
• integrated reviews with visible customer feedback
• a full review form to encourage user input
• related products presented in a structured grid

Best use case

Use this template for products that benefit from stronger visual presentation, detailed descriptions, and customer interaction.

• premium products
• hero products
• curated collections
• products with strong imagery
• products that need more storytelling

How to use it

Edit a product and assign this template from the product template dropdown if you want that specific product to use the modern layout.

Order Confirmation Template

↑ Back to top

This template controls the page shown after a successful order.

Best use case

This page is important because it is part of the customer experience after purchase. Keeping it clean and trustworthy reinforces confidence.

Cart Template

↑ Back to top

The Cart template is intended for WooCommerce’s modern cart experience.

Hypermarket recommends using the cart block rather than relying only on the old shortcode approach.

Best use case

Use the Cart Page pattern with WooCommerce blocks to match the design system of the theme.

Checkout Template

↑ Back to top

The Checkout template supports the WooCommerce checkout block layout.

Best use case

↑ Back to top

Use the Checkout Page pattern and block-based checkout for the most consistent theme styling.

Coming Soon Template

↑ Back to top

This template is used for pre-launch or under-construction stores.

Best use case

Use it when your store is not live yet but you still want a polished, branded holding page.

Coming Soon Page

↑ Back to top

What it is for

↑ Back to top

Hypermarket includes a dedicated Coming Soon template so you can prepare a store before launch while still presenting a polished brand presence.

This is useful when:

• products are not ready yet

• you want to capture leads before launch
• you want to announce that the store is opening soon

How to enable it

<label> Your name
    [text* your-name autocomplete:name] </label>

<label> Your email
    [email* your-email autocomplete:email] </label>

[submit "Submit"]

Patterns in Hypermarket

↑ Back to top

Patterns are one of the strongest features of the theme because they reduce page-building time and provide ready-made layouts that already fit the theme style.

Landing Page Pattern

↑ Back to top

This is the primary starter layout designed for building a complete, high-converting homepage for your store.

After inserting the pattern, replace the placeholder images with your own product or brand visuals, update the text to reflect your messaging and promotions, and swap the demo product sections with your actual WooCommerce products or categories. You can also remove, reorder, or adjust any sections to better fit your store’s structure and goals.

What it is for

Provides a structured page made up of pre-designed sections such as hero banners, featured products, category highlights, promotional blocks, testimonials, and call-to-action areas. Each section is arranged to guide visitors from discovery to purchase, helping showcase both products and key messages in a clear flow.

Best use cases

Instead of starting from a blank page, this pattern gives a complete layout with proven structure. Sections are already organized for better user experience, making it easier to present products, highlight offers, and drive engagement.

Use it for:

• store homepage
• campaign landing pages
• seasonal offer pages
• promotional front pages

Why it helps

Instead of starting from an empty page, you begin with a complete layout and replace the content with your own.

About Us Pattern

↑ Back to top

What it is for

A structured About page that introduces the brand, includes storytelling sections, and can feature testimonials or team members.

Best use cases

Use it for:

• About page
• brand story page
• founder story page

Why it helps

It makes the About page feel intentionally designed rather than a simple wall of text.

About Zigzag Pattern

↑ Back to top

What it is for

A more dynamic About page with alternating visual/text sections and a stronger editorial layout.

Best use cases

Use it when your brand story relies more on visual pacing and modern layout rhythm.

Why it helps

Contact Info & Form Pattern

↑ Back to top

What it is for

A contact page layout with structured contact information and a form area.

• support contact page
• sales inquiry page

Why it helps

Recommended note

This pattern works especially well with the Page No Title template, so the contact layout starts cleanly below the header.

Support & Store Locations Pattern

↑ Back to top

What it is for

A multi-section contact or support page that can include support categories and store locations.

Best use cases

Use it for:

• customer support FAQ
• policy explanation pages
• product help center
• pre-sales information

Why it helps

It presents questions in a structured format rather than a long plain-text list.

FAQ Two Columns Pattern

↑ Back to top

What it is for

A balanced FAQ layout with two-column accordion presentation.

Best use cases

Use it when you want the page to look more visual and less like a support center.

Why it helps

It gives a cleaner and more symmetrical layout for shorter FAQ collections.

Shop Categories Pattern

↑ Back to top

What it is for

A shopping-oriented category page layout with banner, sidebar, and categories grid.

Best use cases

Use it for:

• category landing pages
• curated browsing pages
• product department overviews

Why it helps

It supports category discovery and merchandising more clearly than a plain archive page.

Element Patterns

These are useful when you want to build custom pages but still keep the theme’s design language.

Alert Patterns

↑ Back to top

What they are for

Alert patterns are for important notices or short messages that need emphasis.

Best use cases

• seasonal updates

Why they help

Hypermarket Blocks

↑ Back to top

Hypermarket includes several aesthetic blocks that add theme-specific functionality and design capability.

Each one has a practical purpose and works best when used intentionally.

Contact Info Block

↑ Back to top

The Contact Info block allows displaying structured business contact details in a clean, organized format. It helps present important information such as address, phone number, email, WhatsApp, and business hours in a consistent and easy-to-scan layout.

How it works

Each contact item is displayed as a row. If a row is left empty, it will not appear on the frontend, allowing full control over which details are shown.

Display options

Each row can be shown with either a text label or an icon:

• Click on a row (for example, Address)
• Use the toggle icon next to the reorder arrows to switch between “Label visible” and “Icon Only”
• When set to “Label visible”, the text label is shown
• When set to “Icon Only”, the icon replaces the label for a more minimal look

Reordering items

To change the order of contact details:

• Select the row you want to move
• Use the up or down arrows to reposition it

Block settings (sidebar)

Address settings
You can enable linking the address to Google Maps. When enabled, clicking the address will open the location in Google Maps.

WhatsApp settings
If a WhatsApp number is added, you can define a starter message. This message will automatically appear when a visitor clicks the WhatsApp link, making it easier for them to begin a conversation.

Business hours settings
Enable the business hours toggle to display opening times. For each day of the week:

• Customize the day label
• Enable or disable “Open on this day”
• Set opening and closing times if enabled
• Optionally add a lunch break with a custom label

If a day is marked as closed, a custom “Closed” label can be displayed instead.

Why it’s useful

This block ensures contact details are consistent, structured, and easier to read compared to manually adding text, while also providing interactive features like map links and pre-filled WhatsApp messages.

Countdown Timer Block

↑ Back to top

The Countdown Timer block adds a dynamic timer that counts down to a specific date and time, making it ideal for highlighting limited-time offers, product launches, or upcoming events.

How it works

After adding the block, use the Countdown Settings in the sidebar to select the exact date and time the timer should count down to. Once set, the timer will automatically update in real time on the frontend.

Heading and subheading

You can optionally display a heading and subheading above the timer:

• Enable Show Heading to add a main title
• Enable Show Subheading to add supporting text

These are useful for adding context, such as announcing a sale or event.

Color settings

The block includes color controls for:

• Text color
• Background color

These settings help ensure the timer remains readable and visually consistent, especially when placed on darker or styled sections.

Customizing labels

The labels for time units (Days, Hours, Minutes, Seconds) can be edited directly within the block. Simply click on each label and replace it with your preferred wording, such as shorter versions or translations.

Why it’s useful

This block creates urgency and draws attention to time-sensitive content, helping increase engagement and conversions while remaining fully customizable to match your store’s design.

Google Maps Iframe Block

↑ Back to top

What it does

This block embeds a Google Map in the page.

It supports:

• address
• zoom level
• satellite mode
• street view settings

Best use cases

Use it on:

• contact pages
• store locations pages
• pickup pages
• showroom pages

Why it is useful

It is more convenient and consistent than embedding custom iframe code manually every time.

How to use it

Insert the Google Maps Iframe block, enter the location details, and adjust the viewing options.

Icon Buttons Block

↑ Back to top

What it does

This block creates icon-based button groups or individual action buttons with more visual emphasis.

Best use cases

Use it for:

• support shortcuts
• promotional actions
• category jumps
• call/email buttons
• service shortcuts

Why it is useful

It helps important actions feel more noticeable and visually guided.

How to use it

Insert the parent Icon Buttons block and then add Icon Button items inside it. Set the text, link, icon, and style.

Read More Offcanvas Block

↑ Back to top

What it does

This block opens post content inside an offcanvas panel using AJAX instead of loading the full single post page immediately.

Best use cases

Use it for:

• blog archive layouts
• guide/article previews
• magazine-style pages
• content browsing without leaving the listing

Why it is useful

It keeps users in browsing mode and creates a more interactive experience.

How to use it

Insert the block where a preview or “read more” action is needed within the Query Loop block, then style it as part of your layout.

Sharing Buttons Block

↑ Back to top

What it does

This block adds social sharing buttons for multiple platforms.

Supported platforms include:

• Email
• Facebook
• LinkedIn
• Mastodon
• Tumblr
• Twitter/X
• WhatsApp
• Bluesky
• Pinterest
• Print
• Reddit
• Telegram
• Threads

Best use cases

Use it on:

Recommended Ways to Use Hypermarket

↑ Back to top

Hypermarket is most effective when used intentionally as a block-based store design system.

Recommended approach

↑ Back to top

• Use the Landing Page pattern for the homepage.
• Use Page No Title for custom layouts and pattern-heavy pages.
• Use the Product Catalog template and Sidebar + Content structure for shop browsing.
• Use Single Product – Modern for hero or premium products.
• Use the Contact Info block instead of manually typed contact details.
• Use the Hand-Picked Product Categories block to improve category discovery.
• Use Countdown Timer in promotional sections and coming soon pages.
• Use YouTube Video Modal when product or brand storytelling needs video.
• Use block Cart and Checkout, not only shortcodes, for better theme consistency.

Troubleshooting

↑ Back to top

The homepage does not show the page I created

↑ Back to top

Check Settings > Reading and make sure:

• A static page is selected
• the correct page is assigned as the homepage

If posts are still showing on the homepage, the reading settings are likely still set to “Your latest posts.”

My category tiles do not show images

↑ Back to top

Edit the product categories in Products > Categories and make sure each category has a Thumbnail image assigned.

The theme’s category layouts rely on those category images.

The newsletter section in the footer does not work

The footer uses a Mailchimp form block. Install and configure MC4WP: Mailchimp for WordPress or replace that block with another newsletter form solution.

Without the plugin, the subscription area may appear incomplete or non-functional.

Cart or Checkout does not look like the demo layout

↑ Back to top

Edit the Cart or Checkout page and insert the correct pattern from Patterns > Shop.

If you are using only old shortcodes, the layout may not match the intended block-based theme design.
