WallaceTheme

Wallace is an experimental next-generation WordPress blogging theme built with the Rest API and Angular2.

Live Demo

Development Blog

Wallace uses an API-first approach for rendering both on the server and client. You get all the performance of a single page app with all the SEO benefits and wp-admin compatibility of a traditional server-rendered theme.

Notice: Requires WordPress version 4.7 or higher and "pretty" permalinks. Some plugins may be incompatible with this theme - particularly those that make heavy modifications to the structure of the site like page builders. Plugins that only modify the data of a website (rather than its structure) and plugins that introduce code to the <head> and <footer> (like an SEO plugin) should work properly.

This project is under active development and updates may introduce breaking changes or changes that alter the structure and design of your site. If you prefer, you can wait for a more stable 2.0 release.

Instructions for non-technical users

A fully built and ready-to-install .zip is available at https://wallacetheme.com. Wallace is a basic blog theme that is uncommonly fast. If that's what you're looking for, read no further and simply download and install the theme as you would normally.
