MC WP Theme is a clean, modular, and developer-friendly WordPress custom theme boilerplate built for developers who want to create scalable, maintainable, and extensible WordPress themes for personal or client projects.

This theme follows WordPress best practices, uses a clear folder structure, and separates concerns such as setup logic, custom post types, templates, assets, and global theme settings.

• Build custom WordPress themes faster
• Keep logic, templates, and settings well organized
• Easily extend or customize for any project
• Ideal for developers (no page-builder dependency)
• Uses WordPress native APIs (Theme Support, Settings API, Template Hierarchy)
