Pelican WordPress Theme is a feature-rich Auto Parts WordPress theme built on Bootstrap 5, fully compatible with WordPress 6.x with full WooCommerce integration. It ships with 13 page templates, a filterable parts gallery, a full e-commerce module with cart and checkout, a blog module — all controlled from the WordPress admin and Customizer with zero coding required.

Built for WordPress developers, freelancers, and site owners delivering auto parts and automotive e-commerce websites. The theme follows WordPress coding standards throughout: template hierarchy, action and filter hooks, wp_enqueue_scripts for all assets, and a child-theme-ready structure. Every visible element is customisable via the Customizer live preview — no page builder plugin dependency required.
