Docspress
A quiet Classic Theme for documents, reference material, and long-form reading.
Docspress is a WordPress Classic Theme for sites where the document matters more than the dashboard around it.
It keeps the source of truth familiar: Pages, parent relationships, menu order, excerpts, headings, media, and ordinary Posts. The theme turns those existing editorial decisions into a calm documentation surface.
Start with the sections below, or read the short Start here guide if this is a fresh installation.
Native content
No custom post type is required for the core Docs Tree. Your Pages remain useful if the theme changes.
Editorial rhythm
A wide reading rail, restrained accent, and responsive navigation give long text room to breathe.
