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

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.

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

Any tips, experiences or strong opinions welcome.

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

Interesting — I will have to try that.

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

Could not agree more.

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

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

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

Bumping this because I ran into the same thing today.

Nice thread, following for the replies.

GeneratePress + hooks is my go-to as well.
