An editorial, content-forward block theme for the WE88 Portal plugin — multi-column magazine layouts with column rules, kickers, and big display headings.

== Description ==

WE88 Magazine lays the WE88 Portal out like the front page of a newspaper. Where the Dark Gold theme leans on glow and fills, Magazine leans on the grid: promotions and reviews break into multiple columns separated by thin column rules, sections are divided by full-bleed hairlines, and the accent is reserved for editorial highlights — kickers, links, rules — rather than big washes. It ships with:

* **Full Site Editing (FSE) support** — every template editable in the Site Editor
* **Editorial multi-column layout** — wide 1320px canvas; promotions render as a 3-up feature and reviews as a 2-up opinion page, with column rules between items
* **Display typography** — oversized, tightly-tracked headings, small mono kickers/eyebrows, and generous body line-height for long-form reading
* **Colour Style Variations** — the shared WE88 colour engine ships multiple palettes; switch them under Appearance → Editor → Styles
* **5 block templates** — front-page, index, single, page, archive, 404
* **2 template parts** — header (slim masthead banner with a heavy baseline rule) and footer
* **6 portal-aware block patterns** that wire directly to the plugin's Gutenberg blocks:
  * Masthead with Login — slim editorial masthead with the plugin's login block framed on the right
  * Latest News Strip — a wire-service strip of announcements under the masthead
  * Promotions Feature — the lead promotions story as a multi-column feature
  * Opinion — Reader Reviews — testimonials as a two-column opinion page
  * The Games Desk — section head + full games grid
  * Member Dashboard — three-column dashboard (balance / profile / transactions)
* **Popup account menu** wired into the header — the plugin's `we88/popup-menu` block renders site-wide
* **Accessibility** — `prefers-reduced-motion` support, semantic landmarks, focus-visible outlines

== Installation ==

1. In WP Admin go to **Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme**
2. Upload the `we88-magazine.zip` archive and click **Install Now**
3. Click **Activate**
4. (Recommended) Activate the **WE88 Portal** plugin first — the patterns reference plugin blocks

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this theme require the WE88 Portal plugin? =

Strictly no — the theme works as a standalone block theme. However, the bundled patterns reference plugin Gutenberg blocks (`we88/login`, `we88/games`, etc.) and will render empty placeholders if the plugin isn't active. The theme's `style.css` declares `Requires Plugins: we88-portal` so WP 6.5+ will hint the dependency.

= Can I customize the colors? =

Yes. Go to **Appearance → Editor → Styles** and pick one of the bundled colour Style Variations, or edit any palette token. The theme reads its colours from shared design tokens, so a single switch re-skins every widget and pattern.

= Can I edit templates? =

Yes — every template (`front-page`, `index`, `single`, `page`, `archive`, `404`) is editable in **Appearance → Editor → Templates**.
