Twenty Seventeen is the new default theme for WordPress in 2017. Its business-oriented design highlights new video headers, and it has a front-page layout that can be created by combining page sections. The theme can be customized further using custom color options and by adding a site logo, social menu, and widgets. Twenty Seventeen brings your site to life with header video and immersive featured images. With a focus on business sites, it features multiple sections on the front page as well as widgets, navigation and social menus, a logo, and more. Personalize its asymmetrical grid with a custom color scheme and showcase your multimedia content with post formats. Our default theme for 2017 works great in.

Quick Specs Quick Specs
- The main column width is up to 525px for the two-column layout and 740px for the one-column layout.
- The sidebar column width is up to 326px.
- The recommended size for featured images is 2000px wide by 1200px high.
- The recommended size for header videos and header images is 2000px wide by 1200px high.
Header Media Header Media
Twenty Seventeen supports both header images and header videos. To modify either type on your site, navigate to Customizer > Header Media.
For header videos, you can upload your own mp4 video or link to a video hosted on YouTube. Smaller file sizes will help make sure your site is loaded quickly.
A header image can be used on its own to display a large photograph at the top of your site. It can also be used as a video fallback: If both a video and image are added, the image will be used as a placeholder while the video loads, and it also acts as a fallback on smaller screens where videos may be harder to serve over mobile networks.
Front Page Front Page
Twenty Seventeen allows you to build a striking front page composed of content from different pages on your site. Each page’s featured image is highlighted, displayed at full-screen size with a fixed position. Twenty Seventeen has four different sections you can assign pages to.
To set this up, first navigate to Customizer > Static Front Page, and set your site to use a static front page if you haven’t already.
Navigate to Customizer > Theme Options. Under each Front Page Section # Content header, select a page you’d like to display for that section.
If you haven’t created any pages yet, you can do that from the Customizer by clicking + Add New Page beneath any of the sections. This will allow you to create a new page from the Customizer that you can later add content to.
For the best appearance, make sure each page includes a featured image and some content.
You can also select your Blog Posts page, and the panel will display your three latest blog posts.
Once you’ve finished adding pages to the sections, click Save & Publish.
If you’d like to change the number of sections you can add pages to, add this snippet to your theme’s functions.php:
add_filter( 'twentyseventeen_front_page_sections', 'prefix_custom_front_page_sections' );
function prefix_custom_front_page_sections( $num_sections ) {
return 6;
}
This snippet changes the default four sections to six.
Custom Colors Custom Colors
Twenty Seventeen includes three color options: the default light color scheme, a dark color scheme, and a Custom Colors scheme that can be adjusted to various hues using a slider.
To explore all the color options available, navigate to Customizer > Colors.
Language Support Language Support
Twenty Seventeen includes optimal font styles for many languages, thanks to feedback from the WordPress community. The theme uses Libre Franklin by default and makes adjustments to the typography for the following alphabets:
- Arabic
- Chinese
- Cyrillic
- Devanagari
- Greek
- Gujarati
- Hebrew
- Japanese
- Korean
- Thai
To improve legibility, Twenty Seventeen also removes its letter-spacing styles for all non-Latin alphabets.
One- and Two-Column Layouts One- and Two-Column Layouts
For pages, Twenty Seventeen allows you to choose between a one- and two-column layout. This can be changed via Customizer > Theme Options. The theme defaults to the two-column layout, which displays the page title in one column and the page content in the other.
Note: This feature only becomes available after setting a static front page.
When the one-column layout is selected, both the page title and content display in a wider single column, centered on the page.
Widgets Widgets
Twenty Seventeen includes a footer widgetarea allowing widgets to be added below the site’s content.
The blog index, archive, and search pages and single blog posts also include a sidebar widget area. For each of these pages, the content is displayed in one center column if there is no sidebar. With the sidebar, the content is displayed in one column and the widgets are displayed in the other.
Pullquotes Pullquotes
Pullquotes can be used to direct your readers’ attention to a particular passage or add visual interest to your posts and pages. In Twenty Seventeen, you can pair a pullquote with an alignleft or alignright class on the blockquote element to further highlight it. Instructions on how to do this can be found here. See the following example:
When a two-column layout is used (whether via the Customizer for pages, or by adding a sidebar widget for posts), the pullquote aligned to the same side will display fully outside of the content area and below the second column. Note: This will only work when the pullquote appears in the content below where the second column ends.
Post Formats Post Formats
Twenty Seventeen supports the following post formats:
- Aside
- Audio
- Gallery
