Template Details

hexo-theme-pure-lite is a blog theme for Hexo, modified from hexo-theme-pure. The author states in the README that the changes include removing the donation entry, disabling comments, fixing some issues, and adding tag pages, RSS, and multilingual support.

The theme is installed by cloning it with git clone into the themes directory of a Hexo project, then changing the theme field in the site's _config.yml to pure-lite. To update, run git pull in the theme directory. The README also lists compatible plugins: hexo-wordcount, hexo-generator-json-content, hexo-generator-feed, hexo-generator-sitemap, hexo-generator-baidu-sitemap, and hexo-renderer-markdown-it-plus for MathJax.

Note that the repository materials do not describe the theme's style details, browser compatibility range, or maintenance status. The preview images and third-party assets in the README must be checked against their respective licenses; the code's MIT license does not cover these assets.

Usage conditions & limitations

Free to use · keep license notice

This entry covers the free version under the MIT license in the public repository; the free scope is the code of this version and does not mean that external services or third-party assets are free.

Must comply with when using

  • Free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version's code are permitted.
  • When distributing copies or substantial portions of the code, retain the original author's copyright notice and the full MIT license notice.
  • The code is provided as is; warranties and limitations of liability are governed by the original license and applicable law.

Additional costs & items to verify

  • To use MathJax math formula support, you must uninstall Hexo's default hexo-renderer-marked renderer and install the third-party renderer hexo-renderer-markdown-it-plus; otherwise, math formulas cannot be rendered.
  • Word count functionality depends on the third-party plugin hexo-wordcount, which must be installed separately via npm; the theme does not include this capability.
  • JSON content generation depends on the third-party plugin hexo-generator-json-content, which must be installed separately; it is an external dependency, not a built-in feature of the theme.
  • RSS support depends on the third-party plugin hexo-generator-feed, which must be installed separately to generate feeds.
  • Sitemap functionality depends on the third-party plugin hexo-generator-sitemap, which must be installed separately; the theme itself does not provide this generation capability.
  • Baidu sitemap depends on the third-party plugin hexo-generator-baidu-sitemap, which must be installed separately; it is an external dependency.
  • Demo images, fonts, icons, and other third-party assets must be checked against their respective licenses and cannot be judged solely by the code's MIT license.
  • External services such as domains, hosting, databases, payments, or AI may incur additional charges.

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.
