Extending the Nieuw theme
CSS custom properties are used in the theme stylesheet. These can be found at the start of the style.css file. You can use these to change, for example, colours or fonts under "Additional CSS" in the WordPress Customizer.
:root {
--font-content: "Comic Sans MS", sans-serif;
--font-default: "Impact", sans-serif;
--text-color: chocolate;
}
The following pluggable functions can be defined in a child theme to overwrite them.
nieuw_copyright() changes the HTML for the copyright notice at the bottom of the page.
nieuw_author() changes the HTML of the author name in blog posts.
nieuw_entry_info() changes the HTML of how categories and tags are displayed below a blog post.
nieuw_entry_meta() changes the HTML of blog post meta information, like author and publishing date.
nieuw_html_class() adds a class attribute to the <html> element.
nieuw_navigation_link() changes the HTML of the navigation icon at the top of the page.
nieuw_next_previous_post() changes the HTML of of the next / previous post navigation below a blog post.
nieuw_search_dialog() changes the HTML of the search dialog/modal.
To remove one of the above functions you can define an empty function, e.g.:
<?php
function nieuw_author() {
/* Do nothing */
}
?>
