Developer guide

Child themes, template overrides, hooks and the REST API.

• Build on Reign with a child theme Why direct edits to Reign are lost on update, how to get the official child theme, and what to put in it versus in Custom Code.
• Override Reign templates from a child theme The directory structure Reign ships for WordPress core templates and for each supported plugin, and the precedence rule for overriding any of them.
• Hooks reference The Reign action and filter hooks most useful for site builders, grouped by area, plus what changed for hooks carried over from the Reign add-ons era.
• REST API The real routes Reign registers under reign/v1, what each one does, and why sign-in deliberately is not one of them.
