My current stack is GeneratePress plus a small custom plugin for tweaks.

I have been test-driving lightweight themes and the speed difference is dramatic.

Bought a theme lately? Share where — marketplaces vary wildly in quality.

Full-site editing is powerful but clients keep breaking their own layouts with it.

Would love to hear how you all handle this.

I did a bit of searching but could not find a recent thread on this, so here we go.

Agreed, keep the parent theme untouched and override in the child.

Nice thread, following for the replies.

prefers-color-scheme plus a manual toggle covers everyone.

GeneratePress + hooks is my go-to as well.

I disagree slightly, but I can see where you are coming from.

Astra’s starter templates saved me days on a client job.

Could not agree more.

I disable FSE for clients with a one-liner and never look back.

GeneratePress + hooks is my go-to as well.
