A Quick Note On The Twenty Twenty-Five WordPress Theme

I like the Twenty Twenty-Five WordPress theme. That’s my personal opinion. It’s the aesthetic of the overall look of it.

More generally, it is a Block theme, which means that any changes you want to make are done via the theme blocks themselves rather than via a customiser.

I guess I would call a Customiser something akin to the icons for different applictions on a computer or phone. They are graphical representations of what is going on at a deeper level. The Customiser abstracts certain information – such as font sizes or the menu options – and gives the website owner the ability to make changes. But if a particular facet of the theme – such as the size of the header or the footer – is not in the Customiser, then that’s a dead end without coding skills.

Full site editing bypasses that interface and you are working directly on the layout. It feels like someone’s idea of a maze when you first start (when I first started) but it is not that bad. Getting someone to explain what templates, template parts and certain page views are will save a lot of time and head scratching.
