One-click demo import
Go to Appearance → Solo King → Import Demo. The importer is programmatic and idempotent — safe to re-run.
Note: No importer plugin is required. The demo import is built into the theme — products, pages, menus, media, and modifications are all handled programmatically.
Design System
Solo King ships with a 7-color token palette and two bundled variable fonts. Everything is editable in the Customizer with live preview.
Color Tokens
Ink
#141812
Jade

Typography
Fraunces
Display & headings · Variable WOFF2 · Self-hosted
Inter
Body & UI · Variable WOFF2 · Self-hosted
Both fonts are bundled as variable WOFF2 files — zero external requests, GDPR-quiet by construction.
Signature Sections
Five compositions engineered specifically for Solo King — each one a proof point no off-the-shelf theme can replicate.
The Formula
An ingredient dossier with oversized percentages, closed by the ink-black "Left out, on purpose" strip of struck-through exclusions.
The Ritual
A four-step AM/PM rail on a champagne line with time chips and icon nodes. Collapses to a vertical timeline on mobile.
The Transformation
A draggable before/after instrument sealed by a champagne divider. Native range input — mouse, touch, keyboard, and screen readers share the identical control.
In Print
One oversized Fraunces-italic pull quote above a row of masthead wordmarks, each set in its own typographic treatment.
Founder Letter
A letter on paper with a drop cap and a display-italic signature beside a framed atelier image. The human seal on the brand.

Every commerce refinement is hook-based. Zero template overrides means WooCommerce updates can never flag this theme as outdated.

Troubleshooting
Demo import fails
Ensure PHP memory limit is at least 256MB. The importer is idempotent — safe to re-run.
Cart drawer not sliding
Check that WooCommerce is active. The drawer uses native WooCommerce fragments.
Fonts not loading
Fonts are bundled as variable WOFF2. No external requests needed. Clear site cache.
Theme flagged as outdated after WooCommerce update
This won't happen — Solo King uses zero template overrides. All refinements are hook-based.
FAQ
Do I need Elementor or any page builder?
No. Everything is native: the WordPress Customizer and core blocks. Nothing to buy, nothing to slow the page down.
Will it work with my existing WooCommerce store?
Yes — it's a theme, not a rebuild. It's designed around one flagship product but runs a normal catalog fine.
Is the demo content included?
Yes — one click, no importer plugin, safe to re-run. The importer is idempotent by design.
Does it support variable products?
Fully supported, including AJAX add-to-cart and the sticky buy bar mirroring your variation selection.
What does "lifetime" mean?
Lifetime updates for a one-time payment. Priority support is included for 12 months.
