Brisko WordPress Theme

Modern, minimalist design, high-performance WordPress Theme

IMPORTANT define( 'BRISKO_ADMIN_USER', 1 ); allows full control over the website. It is set to user ID 1 by default but can be changed to any valid user ID. This functions similarly to a "sudo" user, allowing that user to bypass certain restrictions like locked blocks and patterns.

Brisko is a lightweight and easy-to-use WordPress theme optimized for speed and fully compatible with the Block Editor and Elementor. It is designed for various applications, including personal blogs, business websites, agencies, portfolios, charities, and more.

With its modern architecture, Brisko now fully supports block-based styling, theme.json, and an improved main options handler. It also introduces enhanced support for block headers and footers.

Key Features

• Block Editor Support – Full compatibility with WordPress block editor (FSE mode supported).
• Elementor Support – Works seamlessly with Elementor for advanced page-building.
• Lightweight & Fast – Optimized for performance without unnecessary bloat.
• Customizable – Offers settings for global styles, color schemes, page width, navigation, and more.
• Theme.json Support – Allows better global style management.

• Additional Hooks & Actions – More flexibility with brisko_after_body_open, brisko_customizer_setting, and brisko_entry_meta hooks.
