Evermag is a minimal WordPress theme for magazine, newspaper & blog. It focuses on readability and website performance.

== Description ==

Evermag is a lightweight WordPress theme for magazine, newspaper, and blog sites. No page builder and no jQuery — just clean typography, flexible layouts, and fast, readable pages.

Built for speed and readability, it ships with optional sidebar layouts, footer widget areas, self-hosted fonts, and a titles-only search autocomplete that stays instant even on large sites.

Features:

* Magazine, newspaper, and blog layouts.
* WordPress 7.0 ready; PHP 7 and 8 ready.
* No page builder. A single small vanilla JavaScript file (no jQuery, no dependencies) powers the off-canvas menu, header search, and search autocomplete.
* One-column, or left/right sidebar layouts, with a per-post override.
* Three footer widget areas.
* Self-hosted fonts via WordPress's Font Library (WordPress 7.0+); system-font fallback on older versions.
* Responsive, looks great on all devices.
* Text or image logo.
* Custom colors.
* Three menu locations: primary, social, and footer.
* Beautiful typography and editor styles.
* Featured images with wide and full-width media support.
* Translation-ready.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this theme use Google Fonts? =

No. Evermag serves self-hosted fonts only, through the WordPress Font Library (WordPress 7.0+). On older versions it falls back to the native system font stack.

= Does this theme load any JavaScript? =

One small file. Evermag loads a single vanilla JavaScript file (js/main.js, no jQuery or dependencies) that powers the off-canvas menu's keyboard accessibility, the header search reveal, and a titles-only search autocomplete. Each feature only runs where its markup exists, and everything degrades gracefully with JavaScript off.

= How do I remove the theme credit in the footer? =

Customize -> Footer -> turn off "Keep theme credit". GPL does not require keeping it.
