BeFree Gantry 1.1.1
BeFree Gantry 1.1.1 makes style presets switch reliably across every page, removes the last Helium traces so BeFree Gantry stands fully on its own, and is checked against Gantry 5.6.5. It is a GPLv3 Gantry 5 theme for WordPress by Intense Finance (https://if.finance).
Install: install and activate the Gantry 5 plugin (5.6.5 recommended), then go to Appearance > Themes > Add New > Upload Theme and choose befree-gantry-1.1.1.zip. To update from 1.1.0 or 1.0.0, upload the zip and choose Replace current with uploaded. Outlines already saved in custom/ are not edited.
What's new
- Presets now apply site-wide. The shipped Home outline stores no colors of its own, so every child outline inherits the preset saved on the Base Outline.
- Theme CSS uses the BeFree color variables (
--bf-bg,--bf-text,--bf-link,--bf-gold,--bf-navy,--bf-liveand the section tokens) instead of colors taken from a single preset, so every preset recolors the whole site. - Custom CSS saved as
>by a filter is decoded back to>before compiling and written back raw. - The build refuses to package the theme if a child outline carries its own style overrides.
- All Helium references are removed; BeFree Gantry stands on its own. The original Hydrogen copyright lines stay.
- Checked against Gantry 5.6.5, which fixes CVE-2026-110889 (unauthenticated particle AJAX exposing the debug error page, all versions through 5.6.4). Updating the Gantry 5 plugin to 5.6.5 is strongly recommended.
- Unchanged: all six presets (Meld Neon, Industrial, BeFree Navy, Bloom, Lime Terminal, Light Paper), every layout, the Slideshow section, Sister Site, and all stock charts. The theme still never restyles TradingView or chart embeds.
Switching styles
- Open Gantry 5 > Styles on the Base Outline, pick a preset and save.
- If a page still shows the old colors, recompile the CSS, then purge the LiteSpeed (or other page) cache.
- Save custom CSS raw so
>is not encoded.
If a page was given its own Styles colors earlier, clear those overrides so it follows Base.
Requirements
- WordPress 6.0+
- Gantry 5 Framework plugin: minimum 5.5, recommended 5.6.5
- PHP 8.1+
