Template Details

WaveWaveWave is a blog theme written for Hexo by the author chenshi011. The README states that it is modified from Hexo's official light theme. The theme provides configuration options in _config.yml for menus, sidebar widgets, excerpt link text, social sharing, copyright notices, image lightbox, analytics, and comments. The default menu includes Home, Archives, and Subscribe, and the default sidebar widgets are Search, Tags, and Recent Posts.

The repository was last updated in 2017. The installation instructions in the README require cloning the theme into the themes/WaveWaveWave directory and changing the theme field in the site's _config.yml to air (which does not match the theme directory name; the actual directory name should be used). The README does not specify the theme's browser compatibility range, required Hexo version, or future maintenance plans. Before use, it is advisable to verify compatibility against the current Hexo version.

Regarding licensing, the repository contains a standard MIT license file, which permits free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version of the code, provided that the copyright and license notice are retained when distributing. Demo images, fonts, icons, and other third-party assets, as well as external services such as domains, hosting, analytics, and comments, are not covered by this license and must be checked separately.

Is it right for your project?

Use Cases

Building a personal blog with Hexo and wanting a lightweight sidebar layout
Blogs that need basic sidebar widgets such as search, tags, and recent posts
Sites that want to integrate Baidu Analytics, Google Analytics, or busuanzi counter
Blogs that need to enable fancybox image lightbox effects in posts

Suitable For

Blog authors using Hexo who can adjust theme configuration themselves
Users who accept a theme forked from an older light theme and are willing to verify compatibility themselves
Developers who need theme code that can be modified and distributed under the MIT license

Getting started & customization

Use these recorded setup notes alongside the repository instructions for your chosen version.

1
Clone the repository into the themes/WaveWaveWave directory of your Hexo site, and change the theme in the site's _config.yml to the corresponding directory name (the README example says air, which does not match the directory name)
2
Theme configuration is in the theme directory's _config.yml, where you can set menus, widgets, excerpt_link, copyright, fancybox, and other items
3
Analytics and comments require filling in parameters such as siteid and productKey yourself; gentie comments also require configuring sourceId
4
The repository was last updated in 2017, and the README does not specify supported Hexo versions; it is recommended to verify locally before use
5
Demo images, fonts, icons, and other third-party assets and external services must be checked separately according to their respective licenses and fees

Website type: Blog

How this score is calculated

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.

What to verify for this project

Repository update recorded: 2017-05-18
Screenshot last checked: 2026-10-03

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.

The catalog identifies Hexo as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.
