ASTRA – New Network Theme and Coraline Replacement

As Administrators and Editors of sites in the WordPress network have heard the Coraline theme is being retired due to lack of updates from the original development group to the older theme code.  We have been searching for a viable replacement for this theme to preserve some of the characteristics that were included in Coraline.

Astra is a lightweight, modern, and clean theme that fits nicely into our sites network and is compatible with installed plugins.  It is responsive and has an academic aesthetic featuring plenty of white-space and serif fonts.  Please preview our demo sites to get an idea of this theme.
