## About this documentation

Product: Auno - Minimal Portfolio FSE WordPress Theme
URL: https://hub.jkdevstudio.com/docs/auno/getting-started/about-docs
Updated: 2026-10-26
Summary: What Auno is built for, what it needs, how these docs are organized, and a plain-language glossary of the block theme terms used throughout them.

Auno is a minimal portfolio theme for designers, illustrators, developers and small studios. It is a block theme: every page, from the header to the footer, is made of blocks and changed in the Site Editor, with no page builder in between. These docs cover what Auno does and where each part of it is changed.

## What Auno needs

Auno needs WordPress 7.0 or later and PHP 8.1 or later, and it is tested up to WordPress 7.1. The rest of the server checklist, memory and upload limits included, is in [server requirements](https://hub.jkdevstudio.com/knowledge-base/installation/server-requirements). No third-party plugin is required: the theme runs on its own, and the Auno Pro plugin adds the portfolio and the integrations on top.

## How the docs are organized

Getting started, environment, installation and demo import
: Buying, installing, activating the license, adding Auno Pro and importing the demo. These pages are shared with our other themes.

Full Site Editing

Styles and settings
: Where each part of Auno is changed, its colors, fonts and layout, the block styles, and the Customizer settings for motion, color schemes, glow and sound.

Pages, blog and patterns
: The patterns and templates Auno ships, building the home and about pages, the blog and its views, and single posts.

Portfolio

Integrations, tutorials, Customer Hub, troubleshooting and policies
: Mailchimp, cookie consent, FAQ and image placeholders, longer guides, your account, fixes, and the support terms.

## Words used in these docs

:::deflist

Site Editor
: The editor at [[Appearance > Editor]], where the whole site is changed: its styles, templates, template parts and patterns.

Styles
: The design settings of the whole site, at [[Appearance > Editor > Styles]]: colors, fonts, sizes, spacing and widths. Auno stores its defaults in `theme.json`.

Template
: The layout of one kind of page, such as the blog, a single post or a project.

Template part
: A piece shared by many templates: the header, the footer and the mobile menu.

Pattern
: A ready-made section, such as the hero or the FAQ, inserted from the block inserter and edited like any other blocks.

Block style
: A look for one block, picked in the **Styles** panel of the block's settings, such as **List row** for a group or **Cover** for an image.

Customizer
: [[Appearance > Customize > Auno Theme]], where Auno keeps the behavior that `theme.json` cannot hold: animations, page transitions, the color scheme switch, the glow and the music.

Auno Pro
: The plugin sold with the theme. It adds the portfolio, its media formats, more patterns and blocks, and the integrations.

Project
: One piece of work in the portfolio, added at [[Portfolio > Add New Project]] once Auno Pro is active.
