Description

Noctelle — Dark Editorial WordPress Theme

Noctelle is a moody, magazine-style WordPress theme for writers, storytellers and night-owl creatives. Ink-black surfaces, antique gold accents and graceful Cormorant Garamond headings give long-form writing a lamplit, literary feel.

Highlights

  • Customizer-driven homepage: full-bleed hero, services, about, category showcase, personal note and latest posts
  • Antique-gold detailing: framed date tabs, corner-tick buttons, gilded section rules
  • 4 custom widgets: About Me, Latest Posts, Follow Us, Photo Grid
  • Post formats with card badges: video, audio, gallery, quote
  • Full Width template for Elementor and other builders
  • WooCommerce compatible, translation-ready, child theme included
  • Bundled OFL fonts, locally hosted — no font CDN requests
  • Passes the official Theme Check plugin

Requirements: self-hosted WordPress 6.0+, PHP 7.4+.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Elementor or another page builder?

No. Every section on the homepage is a native WordPress Customizer setting. The theme works with the plugins you already use, and it does not depend on a builder that could break on the next update.

How many sites can I use this on?

As many of your own as you like. The theme is GPL licensed. One purchase covers unlimited personal and client sites; please don't redistribute the .zip itself.

Will the demo images be included?

The demo importer includes placeholder imagery so your site matches the preview on day one. Replace them with your own photos whenever you're ready.

Does it work with WooCommerce?

Yes. WooCommerce templates inherit the theme's typography and colours. It is entirely optional — the theme is complete without it.

What if I customise the theme and then it updates?

Use the included child theme. Your CSS and template overrides live there, so updating the parent never overwrites your work.

Can I get a refund?

Digital downloads are non-returnable once delivered, but if the theme doesn't work as described get in touch and we'll fix it or refund you.
