Optional local fonts
In your own door contents and standalone Advent landing pages, select a text block and open Typography → Font (font family). Choose Türchenzeit · Source Serif 4 or Türchenzeit · Inter. If the control is hidden, enable Font from the Typography options menu. Choose Default to return to the inherited theme font.
The two fonts are optional and supplied locally under the SIL Open Font License. No Font Library installation or external font service is needed. Theme typography stays unchanged until you choose a font. Browsers download font files only for text that uses them. Plugin font choices require Türchenzeit to remain active.
Ten content patterns offer editable starting points: reflection, verse, video, picture story, Grandma’s recipe book, a small act of kindness, an Advent letter, a song, creative December hours, and evening prayer or blessing. All use standard WordPress blocks. Replace sample text and empty media blocks before publishing.
One network, many Advent websites
Network activation lets you run independent Advent websites for different topics: recipes, music, reflections, or a local community project. Each website keeps its own calendars, contents, landing pages, settings, and WordPress timezone. Türchenzeit is also available on websites added later. Authorized administrators configure each website separately; network activation creates no pages or calendars automatically.
