From Classic to Block (final chapter): The theme migration is over, I decided to stop tossing

In June 2026, I finally completed the full work of the migration of technical blogs from Hueman themes to Twenty Twenty-Five themes.

When I wrote this article, I looked back and looked at the ‘From Classic to Block: Theme Migration’ series, and found that 27 related practical records have been written before I know it.

At first, I thought it was just a simple theme switch.

It was later discovered that this is actually a comprehensive upgrade involving website architecture, page layout, multi-language compatibility, advertising system, personal brand building and blog commercialization.

Today, I decided to officially end the series.

Why migrate to Twenty Twenty-Five

Before the migration, my website was using Hueman theme.

This is a classic WordPress theme that has been with me for many years.

It is stable and mature, and it also carries the content accumulation of blogs for more than ten years.

But as the Gutenberg block editor has gradually become the core of WordPress, the gap between classic themes and block ecosystems has become more and more obvious.

I would like to solve several long-standing problems:

• Unified the layout structure of Chinese stations and English stations;
• Easier to use the Gutenberg block editor;
• Reduce custom code at the theme level;
• Optimize the mobile experience;
• Reserve space for subsequent advertising and affiliate marketing;
• Establish a more modern blog operation system.

So, I started this migration.

From 1 article to 27 articles

At first, I thought it would be done in a few days.

As a result, I went all the way down and wrote 27 related articles.

The issues involved during the period include:

basic migration

• Hueman migrate to Twenty Twenty-Five
• Polylang multi-language menu configuration
• Global width and heart adjustment
• Homepage Double-bar layout transformation
• Query loop query loop refactoring

Perfect function

• Category page transformation
• Search result page optimization
• Label cloud style refactoring
• Calendar Component Compatibility Repair
• Footer Navigation Optimization
• Personal brand block building

multilingual compatible

• Polylang language switcher
• Calendar link language directory problem
• Multilingual Sidebar Display Control
• Chinese and English menu synchronization

Commercialization and Operations

• CTA automatic insertion system
• ad inserter migrate to wpcode
• Advertisement layout optimization
• Google AdSense debugging
• Search result page ad planning

Various strange problems

• Horizontal scroll bar check
• availableWidth=0 error
• WordPress 500 error
• jQuery conflict
• Baidu Statistical Warning
• emoji handle code cleanup
• Logo and Favicon Refactoring

Many of the problems can end up with only a few lines of code.

But the real time-consuming process is often the process of positioning the problem.

final result

After more than a month of continuous adjustment, the current website has basically reached my original expectations.

The overall structure after completion includes:

front page

• Double bar layout
• Article list optimization
• personal brand sidebar
• tag cloud
• most viewed posts
• Search box

Article page

• Unified reading width
• Optimized code block display
• Advertising space standardization
• CTA automatic insertion

multilingual system

• Chinese station
• English station
• independent menu
• independent page
• Polylang fully adapted

commercial infrastructure

• Google AdSense
• wpcode
• CTA system
• About Me & Cooperation Page
• Technical Consulting Entrance

It can be said that this migration is not just a different theme.

Instead, we re-organized the operation system of the entire blog.

biggest gain

Interestingly, after the migration is over, my biggest gain has nothing to do with the theme.

When I first started the migration, I always felt that:

• The homepage can also be optimized a little more;
• The color can be adjusted again;
• The style can be more refined;
• The buttons look a little better.

But then, I slowly realized:

For a tech blog, the theme is not the most important.

When the website reaches:

• The page structure is clear;
• good reading experience;
• mobile terminal is normal;
• Advertisement layout is reasonable;
• Uniform brand image;

After that, continue to invest time to optimize the theme, and the income will decline rapidly.

The factors that really affect the long-term development of the website are actually:

• content quality;
• search traffic;
• user trust;
• affiliate marketing;
• advertising revenue;
• consulting services;
• personal brand.

The value of these things is far more than the rounded buttons of the button are more 2px or less 2px.

next stage plan

So I decided to stop tossing the theme.

At least for a long time in the future, I will not modify the website layout and style more frequently.

Next, my focus will be shifted to:

Affiliate Marketing

Establish an affiliate marketing management system:

• VPN Alliance Program
• Cloud Server Alliance Program
• AI Tools Alliance Program

content creation

Continuous output:

• WordPress
• go
• linux
• vpn
• AI Tools
• Blog Operations

original content of the other direction.

Technical Consulting Services

Continue to improve:

‘About Me & Cooperation’

page, explore:

• PHP Development Consulting
• GO Development Consulting
• Linux operation and maintenance consultation
• Long-term remote cooperation

service direction.

blog commercialization

In the future I would like to pay more attention:

• page rpm
• Advertising revenue
• Alliance Conversion Rate
• User consultation conversion rate

rather than the theme details itself.

at the end

From Hueman to Twenty Twenty-Five, from classic themes to block themes, the ‘From Classic to Block: Theme Migration’ series has finally come to an end.

Looking back, the whole migration process is far more complicated than I originally expected.

But luckily, all the questions ended up finding the answer.

What ends up is not a ‘perfect’ website.

It’s a ‘good enough’ website.

For personal blogs, ‘good enough’ is often more important than ‘pursuing perfection’.

So, I decided to officially end the series.

From today onwards, I will no longer toss the theme, but start tossing the income.
