Aggie UX WordPress Theme 1.0.0 Release

Launch Date: September 12, 2025

The Aggie UX WordPress Theme provides an accessible, brand-compliant foundation for building university websites. It includes 32 Aggie UX components as Gutenberg blocks, built-in analytics and SEO support, and version-controlled updates that keep your site current with the latest design and accessibility standards. The Aggie UX WordPress theme is still under active development and is not yet ready for production use.

Before You Begin

You’ll need the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) Pro plugin, included with our university-wide license.

Installation Instructions

Install Advanced Custom Fields Pro
1. Email web@tamu.edu to request the download link and license key.
2. The free ACF version will not work.
Install the Aggie UX theme:
1. Install and activate aux-wordpress.zip (parent theme).
2. Install and activate aux-wordpress-child.zip (child theme).
Configure your site:
