Wachtube — Video WordPress Theme

Wachtube WordPress Theme is a feature-rich Video Streaming & Channel Platform HTML5 WordPress theme built on Bootstrap 4, fully compatible with WordPress 6.x with Custom Post Type support. It ships with 20 page templates, an analytics dashboard — all controlled from the WordPress admin and Customizer with zero coding required.

Built for WordPress developers, freelancers, and site owners delivering video streaming & channel platform 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.
