WPPasteKit Blank: a free theme for pasted HTML

Paste a complete HTML page into WordPress and it is shown exactly as designed. No theme styling in the way, and WordPress still runs the head of the page.

Free. Version 1.2.1. GPLv2 or later. No form, no account.

What the theme does

WordPress out of the way, not out of the picture

The theme is useful on its own. If you write or paste HTML and your pages rarely change, it may be all you need.

  • Your design, exactly as it was made. Paste a complete HTML document into a page. The theme recognises it and renders it with the design's own styles and scripts. No theme CSS competes with it.
  • Your plugins keep working. The theme prints a valid HTML document with wp_head(), wp_body_open() and wp_footer(). SEO plugins, analytics, your cookie banner and the admin bar all do their job.
  • The rest of the site stays usable. Archives, search results and the 404 page fall back to a plain, unstyled list, so visitors can still find their way.

What the theme does, and what the plugin adds

With the theme alone, every page stands on its own and every change is an HTML change. That is fine for you. It is harder for a client, a colleague, or yourself in six months.
