Ulster
A local news theme designed for one editor and a Tuesday deadline.
== Description ==
Most news themes assume a newsroom. Ulster assumes one person who also sells the advertising: the front page fills itself from sections, and it looks deliberate whether this week produced four stories or forty.
Corrections are a first-class thing — appended to the story, dated, and listed on a corrections page — because a local paper’s credibility is the entire product and a silently edited story spends it.
The obituary and public-notice layouts exist because those pages pay for local journalism and every other theme makes you build them from a blog post.

== Installation ==
- Install and activate the theme.
- Create your sections as categories and assign them to front-page slots.
- Use the Correction block when you need one.
Front-page slots degrade: an empty section collapses rather than showing a heading with nothing under it.
== Frequently asked questions ==
Does it support a paywall?
It styles the common metered paywall plugins. It does not implement one.
Print edition?
A print stylesheet for individual stories. Producing a paginated edition is a different product.
== Changelog ==
= 2.6.0 =
- Corrections page aggregating every correction, with dates.
- Public notice layout with a structured expiry date.
= 2.4.0 =
- Front-page slots collapse when their section is empty.
