MASTER PROMPT – TRANSFORM AINEWSBURST247THEME INTO A PREMIUM WORDPRESS CUSTOMIZABLE THEME
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Update ONLY the WordPress theme named:
ainewsburst247theme
Do NOT modify any other theme, especially:
- newsbursttheme
This is a complete WordPress architecture upgrade. The objective is to make ainewsburst247theme behave like a premium WordPress theme such as GeneratePress, Astra, Kadence, or Blocksy while preserving the existing NewsBurst247 design, branding, layouts, and functionality.
The website must remain lightweight, fast, SEO-friendly, responsive, and fully customizable using native WordPress features.
PRIMARY GOAL
I want this theme to function exactly like a professionally developed premium WordPress theme.
The customization experience should feel similar to GeneratePress.
Every important section should be editable directly from the WordPress Customizer.
The theme must use proper WordPress APIs instead of hardcoded values.
Everything should be designed for long-term maintainability.
