Rookie Plus

An enhanced version of Rookie with additional layout flexibility, BuddyPress styling, and broad RTL language support.

Compatibility

Built for SportsPress and SportsPress Pro. The theme declares add_theme_support( 'sportspress' ) so SportsPress template overrides load from the theme's sportspress/ directory. WooCommerce template overrides are also bundled, and theme support is declared for mega-slider, social-sidebar, and news-widget to integrate with ThemeBoy's bundled plugins.

Design

Rookie Plus uses a teal accent (#00a69c) with light gray content panels (#f4f4f4). Captions render with white text on a #2b353e background and a teal top border, picking up the accent throughout the design. The theme tags include buddypress, rtl-language-support, and flexible-header, declaring broad compatibility with community and multilingual sites.

The layout is fully responsive, so the design adapts to phone, tablet, and desktop breakpoints. Content width defaults to 1000px in the Customizer and can be increased up to 2000px through Appearance → Customize → Layout.
