FAQ
StoryBook questions
Is StoryBook really free?
Yes. StoryBook 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 StoryBook 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 StoryBook?
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 StoryBook?
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.
