Ledger Docs
A calm, fast documentation theme for people who write docs, not marketing pages.
What's in Ledger Docs
- Sticky left-hand documentation sidebar built from a standard Navigation block, so authors manage the docs tree from the editor with no code.
- First-class code presentation: bordered, monospaced core/code and core/preformatted blocks plus styled inline code, all driven by theme.json.
- Fluid system-font typography via clamp() with a tuned type scale, generous line-height, and no external or bundled font files.
- Light and dark color palette with duotone filters, every token checked for WCAG AA contrast against its intended background.
- Accessibility-ready: skip link, visible keyboard focus, semantic header/main/footer landmarks, and prefers-reduced-motion support.
- Search-friendly archives with a persistent search field in the header and clean query-loop listings for browsing documentation.

FAQ
Ledger Docs questions
Is Ledger Docs really free?
Yes. Ledger Docs is licensed GPL-2.0 and free to use on as many sites as you like, including commercial ones. There is no paid tier, no locked feature, and no trial. It used to have a paid PRO version; that has been discontinued and everything in it is now free.
How do I remove the Ledger Docs footer credit link?
Go to Appearance → Customize → Footer Settings and clear the credit option. The link is entirely optional — removing it does not disable any feature, does not affect updates, and does not require a paid upgrade. We would rather you keep the theme than keep the link.
Should I use a child theme with Ledger Docs?
Use a child theme if you plan to edit template files or add PHP. If you are only changing colours, fonts, or spacing, use Appearance → Customize → Additional CSS instead — it survives updates and is far simpler to maintain.
Where do I get support for Ledger Docs?
Use the theme's support forum on WordPress.org — it is public, so the answer helps the next person with the same problem. You can also reach us directly through the contact page.
