A general-purpose theme for business, blog, portfolio, and basic WooCommerce sites, with selectable header/footer layouts and ready-made starter patterns.

== Description ==

Vantree is a general-purpose WordPress theme built for business, blog, portfolio, and basic online-store sites. It pairs full block-editor style parity (colors, typography, and spacing all controllable from the editor) with a selectable header and footer layout system in the Customizer, so you can change your site's structure without a page-builder plugin. Ready-made starter patterns for a home page, about page, contact page, and blog page are available directly in the block inserter.

= Features =

* Four header layouts (classic, centered, minimal, split navigation) and three footer layouts (one, three, or four columns), switchable from Appearance → Customize with no page-builder required.
* Full editor style parity via theme.json: a curated color palette, typography scale, and spacing scale all appear as native block editor controls.
* Starter block patterns for Home, About, Contact, and Blog pages, plus a reusable call-to-action section pattern.
* Basic WooCommerce style compatibility: shop archive, single product, cart, and checkout pages are styled to match the theme when WooCommerce is active.
* Translation ready.

== Installation ==

1. In your WordPress admin, go to Appearance → Themes → Add New and search for "Vantree", or upload the theme zip directly.
2. Activate the theme.
3. Visit Appearance → Customize to choose a header layout, footer layout, and set your site's logo and menus.
4. When creating a new page, open the block inserter and search "Vantree" to find the starter patterns.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this theme require a page builder plugin? =

No. Header and footer layout switching, colors, typography, and spacing are all built into the theme and the native block editor — no page builder is required.

= Does this theme work with WooCommerce? =

Yes. When WooCommerce is active, Vantree applies its own styling to the shop, single product, cart, and checkout pages so they match the rest of the site.

= Can I change the header or footer layout? =

Yes, from Appearance → Customize → Header Layout and Appearance → Customize → Footer Layout.

== Changelog ==

= 1.0.3 =
* Removed the Theme URI header, which pointed to a page that doesn't exist yet. The field is optional and will be added back once a real page describing the theme is live.
* Fixed a "Slug field missing" block-pattern registration warning caused by the patterns/index.php placeholder file. WordPress scans every .php file in patterns/ expecting real pattern headers, so that folder doesn't need (and shouldn't have) the usual directory-listing-guard file other folders use.
* Fixed long, unbroken titles (e.g. a single very long word) forcing the page to scroll horizontally on narrower screens instead of wrapping within the content area.

= 1.0.2 =
* Fixed the skip-to-content link not becoming visible when it receives keyboard focus. It carries both the skip-link and screen-reader-text classes, and the screen-reader-text class's own clipping was never reversed on focus, so the link stayed visually hidden (though still functional) even while focused. It now appears with clear contrast and a visible focus outline, as expected for keyboard/assistive-technology navigation.

= 1.0.1 =
* Fixed page templates (page.php) not sharing the same content container/reading-width column as posts, which left page content unevenly positioned instead of centered and consistent with the rest of the theme.
* Fixed wide, non-wrapping content (a `<pre>` code block or `<table>` with long unbreakable text) forcing the entire page to scroll horizontally instead of scrolling only within itself.
* Footer copyright/credit text is editable from Appearance → Customize → Header & Footer Layouts → Footer Layout, with no code editing required (this control already existed but had not previously been released).

= 1.0.0 =
* Initial release.
