HI Theme Toolkit
v3.0.0 · by Hawaii Interactive Sàrl
A developer toolkit for WordPress themes — ACF blocks, custom post types, taxonomies, REST API, and utility services.
About this plugin
HI Theme Toolkit gives developers a structured foundation for building robust, maintainable WordPress themes. Rather than reinventing common patterns on every project, WP Theme Toolkit provides a consistent architecture out of the box.
Features:
- Abstract base models for posts, pages, media, galleries, and custom post types
- ACF-powered block and option page registration
- Custom post type and taxonomy scaffolding
- REST API routing with token-based authentication
- Utility services: asset loading (Vite), menus, navigation, image resizing (WebP), cookie consent
- Google Calendar integration with admin dashboard, configurable sync settings (API key, Calendar ID, interval, date range, max events), and live connection testing
- WordPress CPT-to-calendar mapping: link any public custom post type with an ACF date field (including dates inside repeaters) to calendar events
- WooCommerce optional support
- Maintenance mode view
- Gravity Forms integration helpers
- WPML compatibility helpers
This plugin is designed to work alongside a custom theme, not replace it. It is intended for developers building bespoke WordPress themes.
