Installation
This theme is developed and tested against WordPress 5.3+ and PHP 7+.
While this theme should work against any server running the minimum requirements for WordPress installations, we cannot guarantee compatibility with, or provide support for, installations on non-LAMP stacks (e.g. Windows installations).
These plugins must be activated for the theme to function properly.
The plugins listed below are extended upon in this theme--this may include custom layouts for feeds, style modifications, etc. These plugins are not technically required on sites running this theme, and shouldn't be activated on sites that don't require their features. A plugin does not have to be listed here to be compatible with this theme.
