Get started

  • What is Stoat — A fast, Customizer-driven news and blog theme for WordPress — what it does, what it deliberately does not do, and who it suits.
  • Install the theme — Install Stoat from the WordPress.org directory or from a zip, and the three things worth setting in the first five minutes.
  • Update the theme — How Stoat updates, why your settings survive it, and what to do if you have edited the theme files.
  • Where every option lives — Every Stoat setting, the Customizer section it sits in, its default, and the page that explains it.
