Dabba – A WordPress Theme For Blog & Shop 1.0.7

**Dabba**, developed by **Sprout-Themes**, is a versatile and high-performance WordPress theme designed for the modern content creator who balances editorial storytelling with e-commerce. It features a unique "hybrid" layout that allows you to transition seamlessly between a professional blog and a fully functional **WooCommerce** storefront. 

In 2026, Dabba remains a favorite for lifestyle influencers and creative entrepreneurs who want a "boutique" feel that prioritizes clean typography and spacious layouts.

### Core Features & Design 

* **Dual-Nature Design:** Dabba is built with two distinct modes. You can lead with a **Magazine/Blog** homepage or a **Product-First** shop homepage, or blend both using custom widgets. 
* **Live Customizer Power:** Unlike themes that use heavy, separate setting panels, Dabba uses the native **WordPress Customizer**. You can tweak colors, fonts, and layouts while seeing the changes in real-time. 
* **Aesthetic Shop Pages:** Includes custom styling for WooCommerce that moves away from the "generic" shop look, offering minimalist product grids and elegant "Add to Cart" animations. 
* **Gutenberg & Elementor Ready:** While it is optimized for the block editor (Gutenberg) to keep things fast, it is fully compatible with Elementor for those who want deep layout control. 
* **Instagram Integration:** Features a specialized footer widget that pulls your Instagram feed into a beautiful, full-width gallery—perfect for building a social following. 
* **Responsive Typography:** Uses fluid scaling for fonts, ensuring that your long-form articles remain highly readable on mobile devices without any manual adjustment.

### Why Choose Dabba? 

> **The "Boutique" Vibe:** Dabba excels at creating an atmosphere of exclusivity. It doesn't look like a mass-market retail site; it feels like a curated digital studio, making it ideal for handmade goods, fashion, or high-end lifestyle blogging. 
> **Ease of Use:** Because it adheres closely to WordPress's native functions (like the Customizer and Gutenberg), it is significantly more stable and easier to update than themes that rely on dozens of proprietary plugins. 
> **Visual Hierarchy:** The theme uses sophisticated spacing and "negative space" to ensure that your photography—whether it's a travel photo or a product shot—takes center stage.

### Installation & Customization Tips 

1. **Installation:** Upload the `dabba.zip` file via `Appearance > Themes`. 
2. **Plugin Setup:** Activate the **Dabba Core** plugin. If you plan to sell items, also ensure **WooCommerce** is active. 
3. **Demo Import:** Use the built-in importer to set up the "Blog" or "Shop" demo. It's often helpful to import the demo first to see how the developer handled the complex spacing between sections. 
4. **Header Styles:** Dabba offers unique header configurations (including a "Minimal Sidebar" menu). You can set these in the Customizer under `Header Options`. 
5. **Performance Tip:** Use **WebP** images for your blog thumbnails to take advantage of Dabba's fast-loading CSS architecture.
