Search Engine Optimized and Future-Proof
Built with clean, semantic, and fully search engine optimized HTML5 and CSS3 code, all you need to do is add great content!

Create a review site using the advanced built-in review system, or turn it off if you don’t need it – it’s your choice! You can specify review criteria three ways: in stars, points, or percentages.
Live Theme Customizer
Supporting the new and super-cool WordPress Live Theme Customizer, you can preview the various theme settings LIVE! In addition, you can preview your site live with any of the included Google Webfont presets, so you can easily see how the different fonts will look with your content.
Social Built-In
Fearless comes with lots of options for building social interaction with your visitors. To start with, you can place links to your social profiles in the top bar, in the branded footer widget, and anywhere in your sidebar using the built-in widgets. In addition, Fearless features a vertical floating social sharing bar that allows visitors to post your articles to their various social profiles.
Unlimited Fullscreen Background Images
Fearless lets you set a global fullscreen background image, and override it on any category page, if desired.
Unlimited Sidebars
With individual sidebar areas for the homepage, posts, pages, and categories, you can easily customize your sidebars for different parts of your site. In addition, you can create your own custom sidebars for any post, page, and category. However, if you don’t need multiple sidebars, you don’t have to use them – we’ve made it easy for you to use only one sidebar across the entire site if you wish.

With support for WordPress comments, Facebook comments, or both, you’ll have the tools built-in to build visitor loyalty and increased interaction.
Post Formats
Fearless supports the Standard, Audio, Gallery, and Video post formats, with special styling for each one.
Shortcodes
Fearless includes all of the shortcodes you would expect from a premium theme, including columns, buttons, tabs, and much more!
Beautiful Typography
Fearless’s typography is top-notch. To start with, everything is built on a modular grid based off of the Golden Ratio. Next, we’ve gone through the Google web font directory and chosen the best Google Webfonts. You can preview your font selections live using the WordPress Live Theme Customizer, and you can have different fonts for your headings and body text. Choosing a font has never been so easy, or fun!
Fully Internationalized and Translation-ready
Fearless has been designed from the ground up with translation in mind. It comes pre-packaged with a .po file containing all of the theme’s text strings, ready for translation. In addition, it’s compatible with the most popular internationalization plugins such as WPML.
Powerful Framework
Fearless is built on top of the Hybrid Core theme framework by Justin Tadlock, one of the most respected minds in the WordPress community, so you know Fearless is built on a rock-solid base.
BBPress Compatible
Fearless is fully compatible with BBPress, so you can set up your own forum community on your site if you wish.
Easy-to-Use
Fearless has been designed from the ground up to be as easy-to-use as possible. No longer will you need to learn a confusing, proprietary interface to build custom layouts, just drag-and-drop! You’ll love Fearless’s sensible, easy-to-understand theme options panel, which works and looks just like the rest of WordPress. Finally, we’ve gone over every theme option and considered how we can make it easier to understand and use. Spend less time fighting with your theme, and more time doing something you really enjoy!
Compatible with Your Existing Content
Fearless has been designed to work perfectly with your existing content and images, taking care to follow WordPress standards for coding and CSS. If you already have content on your site, there’s no need to go through and update each post manually in order to enable certain theme features such as responsive images.
Full Documentation
In addition to the dead-simple setup process and easy-to-use theme options panel, we have a comprehensive documentation file included in the theme download.
Free Bug-Fixes and Updates
If you find a bug, we’ll do our best to fix it as fast as we can. In addition, we’re always looking for ways to make the theme better and easier to use, so we listen to and care about your feedback. We’re also committed to making sure our themes are 100% compatible with the latest version of WordPress the day it’s released. We test our themes on beta versions of WordPress, so when the final version is released and your web host upgrades WordPress automatically, you won’t need to worry about any down-time from an incompatible theme.
Free Support from the Theme Developers Themselves
Finally, we take support very seriously. Your satisfaction is our #1 concern, so you can be sure you’ll be well taken care of.
