HotSugar is a stylish and professional Responsive WordPress Blog Theme designed for personal bloggers, lifestyle influencers, and creative writers. It is known for its "hand-drawn" charm and high-performance coding, ensuring your blog remains fast and visually engaging across all devices.
As of early 2026, it is a top choice for creators who want a "boutique" look without needing to hire a designer.

When customizing HotSugar, it is highly recommended to use a Child Theme. This allows you to make CSS or code changes that won't be overwritten when the main theme receives an update. Most HotSugar packages include a hotsugar-child.zip file ready for installation.
