Comments Threaded comments with WordPress's reply script when threading is enabled.

Editors

Stage supports both editors in pages and posts:

  • Classic Editor content, including image alignment and floats.
  • Block content, with WordPress's block styles, wide and full-width alignments and responsive embeds. The editor uses Stage's editor stylesheet, so content looks close to the front end while you write.

Hype5 Theater always uses the Classic Editor for its own productions, people and venues; Stage changes nothing about that.

Widths

Width Use Setting
Content Text and most content 1280 px by default (1120, 1200, 1280 or 1360)
Wide Blocks aligned wide 1520 px by default (1440, 1520 or 1600); used from 1680 px screens upwards
Full Blocks aligned full The whole window

The widths are also written to theme.json, so the block editor uses the same sizes. Change them in Customise → Hype5 Stage → Lights and layout.

Images

  • WordPress keeps the original proportions of images; Stage adds two large sizes without cropping (1600 px and 2400 px wide) for wide pictures and the full-bleed home picture.
  • Stage's design keeps pictures in their natural proportions; portraits of people are shown in 2:3 frames.

See Typography and media.

Hype5 Theater shortcodes in pages

Pages and posts can contain Hype5 Theater shortcodes. With the plugin active they render in Stage's design. Without the plugin, WordPress prints an unknown shortcode as plain text, so remove plugin shortcodes from pages if you stop using the plugin. See Shortcodes.

Password-protected and private content

Password-protected posts show WordPress's password form. Private and draft content is never listed by Stage's templates for visitors.
