People like Jamie are an extremely rare phenomenon, they are mentally aware with a clear awareness that when they donate they make the world a better place for all of us! Thank you!
Thanks for this Jamie. I make custom themes from scratch for my clients now I'd like to generate some passive income so selling my themes seems the next logical step.
But, what about doing updates and maintenance to the theme, like future security patching and making sure it is compatible with future WordPress and plugins updates?
Hey Jamie, thank you for making WordPress easier for all of us. When creating my own theme from your starter theme: Which license do you use - and how do I handle copyright and giving credit?
Looks great! They should add an option to upload thumbnail to that theme export page. Or, what if it created one for you on export? That would be cool.
Quite funny that theme designers are getting salty at this video :-) I welcome the ability to create and adapt themes like this, because I've bought themes that were 'professionally designed' but then the designer just got bored and dropped support 6 months later, leaving me with the proverbial baby. If I wanted to hack and support my own theme, I'd have built it from scratch (and yes I know how, but I also know how much of a faff that is to do and support). So having no-code solutions is ace....although we are far from it being 100% perfect yet, but one day I'm hoping to never need to use the theme editor or custom CSS.
Hi Jamie, I was wondering if you have a video about how to put 2 different fonts in a heading with Wordpress Gutenberg Blocks. I'd like to have one word with a script font. Thanks!
If we make them using blocksy pro and stackable pro - will we be able to sell those themes? What would be the condition for it? WOuld we need to ask them to buy the pro versions to edit?
Does it work with elementor? Because I made all website pages with elementor and when I export it as you did, I does not work, it give me the original theme without the edits and pages! What should I do plz

Hello jamie, great video thanks for helping us, I wanted to ask you for example I use some theme form wordpress and modified the design and style, would i be able to export it and sell it on themeforest ?
How do we implement Theme Update Notifications for customers and Licensing check. can you please make a video about that as well? that will be very helpful
@@jamiewp Thank you. are there any other alternatives where I can implement code in my own woocomerce site which sells these FSE themes? if possible please make a tutorial on this

only show 5 options, no cloning option...... Export your theme [Export the activated theme with user changes] Create sibling of your theme [Create a new theme cloning the activated child theme. The parent theme will be the same as the parent of the currently activated theme. The resulting theme will have all of the assets of the activated theme, none of the assets provided by the parent theme, as well as user changes.] Overwrite your theme [Save USER changes as THEME changes and delete the USER changes. Your changes will be saved in the theme on the folder.] Create blank theme [Generate a boilerplate "empty" theme inside of this site's themes directory.] Create a style variation [Save user changes as a style variation of your theme.] so, which option should i choose?
Hey Jamie, thanks for the video! I've followed your steps but when exporting, the pages and posts aren't exported as well. Is there any tool to achieve this too?
If my theme has listing feature and has dependency to plugin like acf, what should I do? should I give the demo page inside my theme package? or I should embed the plugin inside my theme??
Didnt see anything about responsive design? Mobile first stuff. As usual I’d love to see far more on mobile stuff, the days of desktop first are numbered these days. 👍
Yeah. Won't cost you an annual fee and will be fast and score good on page speed tests. I swapped from premium themes to a page builder and it was nice for a while but after 3-4 years of paying for Pro, I got sick of my sites getting slower every year.
When you create your own theme, it is no longer based on the starter theme. So if you started with TwentyTwentythree and then saved your changes in your new theme, your new theme will not be affected with twentytwentythree updates. Right, Jamie?
So we are encouraging non technical people to start selling themes ? Wordpress is bad enough with everyone creating plugins which need updating every day and breaking everything else. Wordpress has become a mess. I’ve lost track on how many plugins I’ve bought which have been buggy and not updated (including yours Jamie I’m afraid). It’s just utter madness. Wordpress need to build in decent functionality so you don’t need all this rubbish. Reminds me of the shoe shops in hitch hikers guide to the galaxy.
Hi Stuart, the beauty about this process and block themes is that nothing can break. It's a clear separation of design and functionality, which was how wordpress themes were always intended to be designed and architected. Much of the issue you've experienced in the past, has been with plugins conflicting with each other, and using themes with in-built pagebuilders only compounds this. The great thing about block themes, and this process is that we are just using core wordpress to create the theme....no plugins, just core, which is really stable. What this opens up, is the opportunity for designers (non-technical) to create designs for websites and that's an incredibly positive step in my opinion.
@@jamiewp I did remove my page builder stuff (which worked flawlessly until Gutenberg etc) even with all that gone you still need so many plugins or plugins with blocks. Even a simple table needs a plugin. Want to do a query then you need a plugin unless I am missing something?
Yes I know there is one built in but as always they tend to be limited on their use. You really need to use things like postx to get it to work properly. If the built in stuff worked well and often it lacks simple things. Plug-ins wouldn’t be needed which they are.

Good to hear

Very enlightening and easy to follow. I really enjoyed watching how easy the process is. Definitely going to give it a try.
Great to hear 👍
You are a life (and time ) saver. I cannot thank you enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Jamie, thank you for making WordPress easier for all of us.
When creating my own theme from your starter theme: Which license do you use - and how do I handle copyright and giving credit?
The gpl licence and no credit needed :)
@@jamiewp Thank you! 😊
Can you do a follow-up video on how to keep the theme updated, etc.?
Great idea 💡
Looks great! They should add an option to upload thumbnail to that theme export page. Or, what if it created one for you on export? That would be cool.
100% agree
This is really timely and helpful. Thanks! The reason this method and plugin couldn’t be used with kadence themes/blocks as a child theme?

Does it work with elementor? Because I made all website pages with elementor and when I export it as you did, I does not work, it give me the original theme without the edits and pages! What should I do plz
Main issue I’d have with selling a theme this way is if a buyer needs support any issues or the theme needs updating I’d have no clue what to do 😅
Great points - but you can learn 😉
How do we add a license to our themes so buyers aren't able to simple share the theme with others?
you are super. I am Wordpress developer myself. you doing gr8 job. keep it up.
Jealous 😂

hi thank you does this work with elementor? I am not use to Gutenberg. Also the theme comes with the plugins you installed?
Nope this is using Wordpress block themes

You would need to use something like Freemius

@@jamiewp thank you. I decided to go with freemius. it has everything I need :)
only show 5 options, no cloning option......
Export your theme
[Export the activated theme with user changes]
Create sibling of your theme
[Create a new theme cloning the activated child theme. The parent theme will be the same as the parent of the currently activated theme. The resulting theme will have all of the assets of the activated theme, none of the assets provided by the parent theme, as well as user changes.]
Overwrite your theme

Create blank theme
[Generate a boilerplate "empty" theme inside of this site's themes directory.]
Create a style variation
[Save user changes as a style variation of your theme.]
so, which option should i choose?
What are you wanting to do ?
@@jamiewp I want to clone my current theme.(I am using a child theme. if I clone it, will it be clean and without relying on the parent theme?)
Hey Jamie, thanks for the video! I've followed your steps but when exporting, the pages and posts aren't exported as well. Is there any tool to achieve this too?
You can't export pages and posts in a wordpress theme, but you can export them separately - go to dashboard/ tools, export :)
Trying to follow this but the "Manage Theme Fonts" is not appearing after installing "Create Block theme", this tutorial needs updating.
Hi - unfortunately TH-cam doesn’t let you update videos, but now fonts are included as part of WordPress core so you need a plugin to add them 👍
I am assuming if you decided to sell outside of gumroad, you would have to have a business license to report sales? Is that accurate?
It really depends where you are based - you will still legally need to declare all income for tax purposes
@@jamiewp this is going to have to be more research than I thought.
Hey jamie can i create a template using webflow or hostinger and then export and sell on themeforest ?
If you are using a block theme then yes
Thanks for this useful video, may i ask you about demo content, how to create, edit, download it to add it to the theme zip file.
The only way to do that is to put into the page templates - you see quite a few themes using the front page template for this
If my theme has listing feature and has dependency to plugin like acf, what should I do? should I give the demo page inside my theme package? or I should embed the plugin inside my theme??
I would keep them separate
Hello, so when i go to appearance there is no theme fonts, themes, editor, create block theme, have you missed a step??
What theme are you using?
@@jamiewp Hello Jamie 2023 as per your instructions, unable to get gutenberg blocks though there are no plugins for it
Thank you so much
Didnt see anything about responsive design? Mobile first stuff. As usual I’d love to see far more on mobile stuff, the days of desktop first are numbered these days. 👍
Good point 👍 But there's nothing stopping some-one designing a theme mobile first using this exact process though.
hey, amazing video but i have a problem i dont see the create block theme button can you help me ?
have you installed the create block theme plugin?
very informative
thanks, glad it was useful
Is a "theme" the same thing as a "website template" please ? Thank you
👍
How to you make live preview pages for your theme?
what about ACF?
Can I sell themes without coding on Envato?
I don't see why not - a theme is a theme :)
Definitely not a "premium" theme
Yeah. Won't cost you an annual fee and will be fast and score good on page speed tests. I swapped from premium themes to a page builder and it was nice for a while but after 3-4 years of paying for Pro, I got sick of my sites getting slower every year.
but its not responsive
? can you explain a little more?
What happens when there is a new WordPress version?
Hi, do you mean the wordpress theme or software?
When you create your own theme, it is no longer based on the starter theme. So if you started with TwentyTwentythree and then saved your changes in your new theme, your new theme will not be affected with twentytwentythree updates. Right, Jamie?
@@tjsayers5428 Yes that's exactly right - fyi another option with the create block plugin is to save your theme out as a child theme 😀
Hi @Jamie I mean WordPress core.
Usually when the release a new version, plugins and themes release updates as well
