# Does GeneratePress support theme.json files?

 * Hello,
 * I added a theme.json file to a GeneratePress child theme with some settings and
   styles, but they are completely ignored both on the frontend and the backend.
   My question is, does GeneratePress support the use of a theme.json file? If so,
   how?
   Thanks

 * Hi there,
 * GeneratePress is a classic theme, it does not natively include or fully support
   a `theme.json` file the way “block themes” do, unfortunately!
