Welcome to the UW Theme!
This WordPress theme is for anyone on a wisc.edu domain who wishes to use it. The UW Theme Lite is also available and works well for class blog sites and other small, simple WordPress sites.
- The kitchen sink of elements page is your guide to all the visual page elements currently available through the UW theme.
- University Marketing recommends using the UW Theme on the WiscWeb WordPress service for most university websites. UW–Madison branded sites must meet minimum web standards.
- See a listing of a sample of sites using the UW Theme for WordPress.
- You can find information on how to contribute to the project on the about page.
- More information about WordPress on campus can be found at wordpress.wisc.edu

Announcement: Upcoming Refresh of UW Brand Fonts
Red Hat Text and Red Hat Display are replacing Verlag and Vitesse as the UW’s brand fonts. If your website or web application uses the Verlag or Vitesse web fonts, you or your web developer will need to replace them with Red Hat Display and Red Hat Text by June 30, 2023. For more information, see UMark’s detailed guidance on how to update to the new fonts on your website.
Note that if your WordPress website uses UW Theme or UW Theme Lite but is not hosted on WiscWeb, you will need to update to the new versions of the themes on or after February 16. In preparation for this change, we recommend updating to the current version of the themes that are available for download on this and the UW Theme Lite site.
