X | The Ultimate WordPress Theme
X is a modular WordPress theme built around Cornerstone, offering 100+ customizable Elements across Layout, Standard, Dynamic, and Woo categories, plus a component-and-parameter system for building reusable Elements from scratch. This release notes overview highlights version 10.7 and the latest 10.7.10 capabilities, enhancements, and design-system tooling.
Core capabilities and data integration
- Over 100 fully customizable Elements, including Layout Elements, Standard Elements, Dynamic Elements, and Woo Elements.
- Build your own fully custom, reusable Elements from scratch using Components and Parameters.
- Dynamic Content: create complex configurations that digest data from WordPress (post meta, user meta), Advanced Custom Fields, and other plugin data, then loop through the data with Loopers.
- External REST API integration for data sourcing beyond WordPress.
- Element-level Effects Module: craft compound effects with filters, transforms, interactions, positional effects, masks, and layer blending (native to the theme).
Architecture and design philosophy
X–Overview
X organizes designs into Stacks—four distinct designs currently available: Integrity, Renew, Icon, and Ethos. Each Stack represents a unique look and feel, with additional demos available for exploration. Extensions extend X with plugins built by Themeco and partners, designed to integrate tightly while keeping the core lean. Experts informed feature ideas are embedded into the theme, and the Theme Options Panel provides live preview and on‑save updates without extra steps.
Stacks

Extensions
Extensions expand X with a lineup of plugins that work seamlessly with the theme. Some extensions are developed by Themeco, while others come from trusted partners, included free with each purchase, enabling feature expansion without bloat.
Experts
X was built with input from industry-leading experts in SEO, design, and feature sets, translating practical guidance into the theme’s capabilities.
