Candor 1.1.5 – Responsive WordPress Blog Theme
Description
Candor is a responsive WordPress blog theme designed to help your posts and archives look polished across devices. It solves the problem of content that doesn’t convert well due to slow or inconsistent layouts by using fast, readable templates for everyday blogging.
With translation readiness (including a .POT file) and built-in RTL styles, Candor supports multilingual and right-to-left readers. It also includes two post layouts—full width or with a sidebar—plus well-structured archive templates for authors, categories, tags, search results, and a 404 page.
To capture leads and feedback, Candor works with popular form plugins such as JetPack, Contact Form 7, and Ninja Forms. Customizer controls for Google Fonts (headings and text) and a set of shortcodes make it easier to refine the presentation in Elementor-based sites or standard WordPress workflows.
