The Chess theme is developed to work with the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg) and site editor. The newest WordPress features that the Chess theme fully supports allows you to visually define your front page, page templates, archives, posts, etc.
Each theme section from both the home and interior pages is created as a block pattern and bundled into the Chess block WordPress theme. There are 11 patterns available. All you need to do to include a pattern on a page is to find it and click on it.


The template part is a new WordPress element and it’s supported by the Chess block theme. For this theme, we prepared header and footer template parts. If you edit anything in the header or footer from the site editor, your changes will be automatically applied to all pages.
Four different color styles are included in this theme. It’s quite simple to change the theme style. From the site editor, go to the Styles tab and select a color style. The changes will be applied automatically throughout the site.


Besides the plenty of content blocks that are available in WordPress, it's also possible to add customized blocks for specific use cases.\n\nTherefore, we bundled this theme with our Hot Blocks plugin that adds several new blocks. In this theme, we are using the Contact block (for the contact form), the Accordion block (for the FAQ page), and the Carousel block (for the images slideshow).
