Changelog

Every released version of Fern, newest first. The current version is 1.0.5, which needs WordPress 6.0 and PHP 7.0.

Updates are uploaded rather than pushed to your Dashboard — see Install the theme. Your settings, posts and pages survive an update; they live in the database, not in the theme folder.

1.0.5

24 August 2026

• New: Nav link style, in Customize → Design. The header, both menus and the meta lines now get their own link treatment, separate from the writing.
• New: Three more link styles for the content — Parsley, Chive and Sorrel.
• Change: A page with its title hidden no longer leaves a gap where the heading was.
• Change: Tidier block styles — buttons, quotes, code, tables and details.
• Change: The footer credit reads Powered by quietsite.org.

1.0

22 August 2026 — first release.

• The blog in two layouts, Inline and Stack, with a date format of its own for the one-line rows.
• An archives page: the whole blog, grouped by year and month.
• Design options — reading width, body padding, two fonts, heading weight, base font size and six colors.
• Eight link styles for the content.
• Header and footer options, and a Hide page title? box on every page.
• Classic editor and classic widgets switches, and search that highlights the term it matched.
