help Twenty Seventeen FAQ

Is the WordPress Twenty Seventeen theme still usable today?

Yes, Twenty Seventeen remains available for free download from the WordPress.org theme directory and still functions with current WordPress versions. However, it was built before the Gutenberg block editor became the default in WordPress 5.0, so it uses the Classic Editor paradigm and the Customizer rather than full site editing.

When was the Twenty Seventeen theme released?

Twenty Seventeen was bundled with WordPress 4.7 and shipped in December 2016, despite the name suggesting 2017. It was the default theme for new WordPress installations for roughly a year before being succeeded by Twenty Eighteen.

Can Twenty Seventeen be used for a business website?

Yes, Twenty Seventeen was specifically designed with business websites in mind, featuring a large front-page header video or image, customizable front-page sections, and support for custom logos. Its responsive layout adapts to mobile devices out of the box without additional plugins.

Does Twenty Seventeen support WordPress full site editing?

No, Twenty Seventeen does not support full site editing, which requires block-based themes like Twenty Twenty-Four or Twenty Twenty-Five. Twenty Seventeen uses traditional PHP templates and relies on the WordPress Customizer for layout and header adjustments.
