Your question should be specific to WordPress. Generic PHP/JS/SQL/HTML/CSS questions might be better asked at Stack Overflow or another appropriate Stack Exchange network site. Third-party plugins and themes are off-topic for this site; they are better asked about at their developers' support routes.

I've been trying to mimic the kinds of websites/blogs that mathematicians have with WordPress and typically their theme is "pub"--it shows up in their style.css, ".css".

I looked it up on / but couldn't find a result. Does this theme even exist? Apologies if this question elementary. And another question that might relate to the pub theme--this one is a little bit more specific--how do I mimic the wide and long blog posts that appear on / ?

  • You would need to ask someone who uses it. It could be a paid theme, a bespoke theme, or no longer available. – Jacob Peattie Commented Jul 17, 2020 at 5:16
  • I answered your first question, and have ignored the second, we have a 1 question per question policy on the site, so ask separate questions as a new question. However, I'm pretty sure that last question is offtopic as it's a styling question, it's super wide because that's how that theme is built. I would recommend against super wide text though as it's innaccessible and makes reading difficult. You want too aim for a max of 40-60 characters per line for easy reading – Tom J Nowell Commented Jul 17, 2020 at 7:33

There is no pub theme, that's a quirk of how WordPress the premium 3rd party service ran by Automattic is internally structured. It's non-standard.

To be more specific WP doesn't use the normal theme folder structure, and instead of searching wp-content/themes for theme folders, it searches wp-content/themes/pub and several others for themes, but mostly pub.

This is done purely to keep all the public themes together and was done a very long time ago as a result of technical decisions made early on. Specifically, the pub folder is an SVN checkout of a shared theme folder repo containing lots of themes. To avoid putting internal things in a publicly visible SVN repository, somebody came up with the subfolder system. Now they're stuck with it for historical reasons.

I would not recommend doing this on your own site, or using the structure of WP as an example of best practices. WP is an enormous multisite install ( multi-network too ), with a lot of obscure historical changes, and user/site counts in the hundreds of millions and more. Normal rules don't apply here, nor do normal hosting structures ( for example wp is hosted across multiple data centres ).

If you want more details on that, you'll need to speak with someone who works at Automattic.
