Many have been expecting that update of our free Basic theme will be released on 2 August because we have written about it in announcement concerning child themes. During the testing it has become necessary to make some edits. And it turns out that we had to postpone the official date of update because of technical issues.
Today our team is pleased to inform about release of new version of Basic 1.1.6. Theme has been significantly modified, new functions were added and old ones were improved but it is still easy and convenient to customize.
New functionality is added!
And now some information about changes in theme. Our Basic is gradually becoming international. Now theme is available in Ukrainian and French languages in addition to Russian and English. Special thanks to our user Abdelkrim Jebbour for providing French translation.
Besides, such new options and features are available in improved version as option to set post meta information and its display order, as well as ability to add your own logo – an important and integral part of each site.
There have been questions regarding social buttons. So, we added special filters with a help of which you can customize them and filters to customize size and attributes of featured image. Considerable number of actions has been added which will be useful without doubt to child themes developers. And these are not all fixes and additions. For more detail, see the “changelog”.
Author child themes are added
Child theme Lobelia is available for downloading on page for a nominal fee. The other themes will be added soon.

Respected,
I like the theme BASIC, but I’m interested:
– how to change read more button and
– how to remove the name of a page of text pages
I wish you much success
Good afternoon! In order to change ‘Read more’ button you need to install Basic child theme and in file functions.php write this function:
if ( ! function_exists( ‘basic_the_more_link’ ) ) :
function basic_the_more_link() {
do_action( ‘basic_before_more_link’ );
?>
#more-< ?php the_ID(); ?>” title=”< ?php the_title_attribute(); ?>“>< ?php _e( 'Read more', 'basic' ); ?>
< ?php do_action( 'basic_after_more_link' ); } endif; add_action( 'basic_after_post_excerpt', 'basic_the_more_link' ); In 7 line #more-< ?php the_ID(); ?>” title=”< ?php the_title_attribute(); ?>“>< ?php _e( 'Read more', 'basic' ); ?>
You need to replace ‘Read more’ with text you want!
You can download Basic child theme following this link http://wp-puzzle.com/docs/basic/where-to-get-a-child-theme.html.
In order to remove the name of a page of text add this CSS code in menu Appearance->Customize->Custom code and in block Custom Styles:
.page h1 {
display: none;
}
