WP Theme JSON Editor
A form-driven visual editor for WordPress theme.json files.
[!WARNING]
This is a developer tool. It writes the active theme's theme.json directly to disk via WPFilesystem.
- No revisions, no backups. Every Save overwrites the file in place.
- No undo across sessions. Once you save and reload, the previous content is gone.
- No content validation beyond shape checks. A malformed theme.json can break the front-end render and the Site Editor.
Treat it like any other code change to your theme: keep the theme under version control (git or a deployment pipeline), and only edit on environments where you can roll back if something goes wrong.
Do not run it on production without a recent backup of wp-content/themes/{your-theme}/theme.json.
If you want a visual editor that does keep revisions, use the WordPress Site Editor (Appearance → Editor → Styles).
It edits user-level Global Styles instead of the theme file.
