What it does
Running a crowdfunding campaign on a general purpose theme usually means stitching together layouts that were never meant for pledges, goals and project updates. This theme is designed around that job from the start. It pairs with the WP CrowdFunding plugin so you can manage campaigns, track contributions and display project progress, while campaign pages give you flexible layouts with room for images, video and clear prompts for visitors who want to pledge.
It suits nonprofits, startups, creative projects and educational programs that want a clean, modern site for raising money. Demo content can be imported to give you a working starting point, and you can then adjust typography, colors and page layouts with drag and drop page builder support. Tutor LMS compatibility lets you add courses tied to your cause, and category and tag filtering helps visitors browse campaigns by interest. The layouts are responsive across screen sizes.

Questions about Backer
Which plugins does Backer work with for crowdfunding?
The theme is built to integrate with the WP CrowdFunding plugin, which handles campaign management, contribution tracking and project progress. It also includes WooCommerce templates and is compatible with Tutor LMS if you want to add courses.
Can I sell or offer courses on a crowdfunding site with this theme?
Yes. Tutor LMS compatibility lets you offer educational courses related to your campaigns or projects, so supporters can learn about your work on the same site where they back it.
