Template Details
hexo-theme-bp-gallery is a blog theme written by BP-Devteam for Hexo. The README states that it is implemented from StartBootstrap's Clean Blog template, so the overall look is an editorial-style blog appearance. The theme provides both light and dark color schemes, and the repository includes screenshots of both modes on desktop.
Functionally, the theme uses vanilla JavaScript (no jQuery dependency) and Bootstrap 5, and declares that no custom CSS is written; Bootstrap Icons are built in. At the content level, it supports cover images for posts and pages, tags and categories, responsive images, and image galleries (via Lightbox for Bootstrap 5). It also integrates Google Analytics tracking code, a page counter (hexo-pagecounter), and Disqus or Facebook comments.
Configuration is centralized in the theme's _config.yml: menu items are defined in the form "label: path", the top-left title can be customized or left blank to use the site title, the homepage cover image applies to all index-type pages, and the pagination per_page is recommended to be 4, 8, 12, or 16; setting it to 0 disables pagination. At the post level, front-matter specifies the author, cover image, share cover image, and comment: false to disable comments. Note that the theme does not support traditional excerpts; the excerpt text on index pages must be provided via the subtitle field.
Regarding licensing, the repository uses the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution, provided copyright and license notices are retained; the licensing of third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons must be verified separately.

Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.
