Galva — Events WordPress Theme

Galva WordPress Theme is a bold, energetic Gala Events & Charity Conference HTML5 WordPress theme built on Bootstrap 5, fully compatible with WordPress 6.x with Custom Post Type support. It ships with 27 page templates, a filterable photo gallery, a blog module, a countdown timer — all controlled from the WordPress admin and Customizer with zero coding required.

Built for WordPress developers, freelancers, and site owners delivering gala events & charity conference html5 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.
