WordPress: default theme?
Self-tutoring about WordPress: the tutor mentions an observation concerning the idea of default theme.
Lately I’ve been researching WordPress and encountered the idea of a “default theme.” Apparently, WordPress might complain if an installation lacks one. Yet, what is it, and why does WordPress want it?
I’ve read that, if something strange happens and WordPress decides it needs to reset, it will sometimes choose the default theme that’s installed in order to rebuild itself. In such a case you’d want to facilitate this, so it’s good to have a default theme installed even if it’s not active. That’s my understanding. Then again, WordPress also seems to suggests not to have inactive themes installed.
A default theme is typically the one the installation comes with, often named with that year (“Twenty Twenty-Two”), for instance. If you’ve changed to another one, the default theme may still be installed, just inactive.
