staticCore v1.0.0 release

Beta testing and bug fixing was completed and after a few tweaks I have a production ready theme release on the projects Github.

I'm excited to announce the official v1.0.0 release of the staticCore WordPress Theme — now available on GitHub. This theme was originally built as a lightweight foundation for converting static HTML/CSS/JS websites into WordPress, and it's now production-ready.

Static Core is perfect for developers who want to:

  • Maintain full control over their markup

  • Integrate WordPress only where needed

  • Preserve static site performance with minimal WordPress overhead

🔧 What's Included

  • Clean HTML5 template structure

  • Modular functions.php with essential WordPress features

  • CSS/JS asset organization (including vendor support)

  • Custom logo support, widget-ready sidebar, and basic SEO meta

  • Lightweight markup with no visual styling assumptions

Whether you're transitioning an existing static site into WordPress or starting a minimal theme from scratch, Static Core offers a solid starting point that stays out of your way.

👉 Check out the release on GitHub and feel free to fork, clone, or contribute!
