McLuhan displays all of your posts on a single page, with one section per year. It’s a simple and compact way to keep all of your posts in a single location.
Add a dash of color
If the default black look of McLuhan doesn’t strike your fancy, you can change it to whatever combination of sidebar background and body background color you want. Want an 1980’s vibe? Go nuts.
Social menu
McLuhan also allows you to set a social menu in the sidebar and mobile menu that links to your presence on social media. Social icons are selected automatically based on the URL you enter.
AJAX-powered search
McLuhans mobile menu features a search form that uses the magic of AJAX to display instant results for search queries.
Fully responsive
McLuhan is fully responsive, and scales gracefully from a 27” iMac down to the smallest mobile phone. Assets in vector format ensures that it looks sharp on retina screens.
Gutenberg support
McLuhan includes full support and editor styles for the new Gutenberg editor, as well as full support for the Classic Editor.

You can support the development of my themes by sponsoring me on Ko-fi,GitHub, or PayPal. Thank you!
Yes. McLuhan is free and open source, released under the GPL 2.0 license like WordPress itself. You can download it from WordPress.org, or install it from your WordPress dashboard: go to Appearance → Themes → Add New Theme and search for “McLuhan”.
Can I use McLuhan on a commercial or client site?
Yes. The GPL 2.0 license lets you use McLuhan on any site – personal, commercial or for a client – and modify it however you want. If you distribute a modified version, it has to be released under the GPL as well.
Can I use McLuhan with the Site Editor?
No. McLuhan is a classic theme. It supports the block editor for posts and pages, but not the Site Editor. If you want to edit your whole site with blocks, try one of my block themes, like Spiekermann.
What does McLuhan require?
McLuhan requires WordPress 4.4 or later, and PHP 5.4 or later. That said, I recommend always running the latest versions of both WordPress and PHP.
Is McLuhan available in my language?
McLuhan is translated into 9 languages, including Spanish, Russian and German (see the full list). If your site is set to one of them, WordPress downloads the translation automatically when you install the theme. If your language is missing, or the translation is incomplete, you can help translate McLuhan on translate.wordpress.org.
Is McLuhan still maintained?
Yes. McLuhan gets updates with security and bug fixes, but generally not support for new features. The latest version, 2.1.2, was released on . If you’d like a feature added, you can ask for it in the support forum, or preferably by opening an issue in the GitHub repository.
How do I remove “Theme by Anders Norén” from the footer in McLuhan?
You can hide it with custom CSS, or remove it from the footer template in a child theme. If you do remove it, I’d appreciate it if you consider sending a small donation my way.
Where can I get support for McLuhan?
Post your question in the McLuhan support forum on WordPress.org. There’s a decent chance it has already been asked and answered. Found a bug, or want to contribute? Open an issue or a pull request in the GitHub repository.
