functions.php
A PHP file within a theme that acts like a plugin, adding features and functionality unique to that theme. This file is automatically loaded when the theme is active. It is used to register navigation menus, enqueue stylesheets, create custom image sizes, and add hooks. However, code in `functions.php` is tied to the theme; if you switch themes, that functionality is lost. For critical site functionality (like CPTs), it is better to create a Site-Specific Plugin.

What Does "Liquid Purple" mean?

noun | / LIK-wid PUR-pul /

  1. (biochemistry) Also known as visual purple or rhodopsin — a light-sensitive receptor protein found in the rods of the retina. It enables vision in dim light by transforming invisible darkness into visible form. Derived from the Greek rhódon (rose) and ópsis (sight), its name reflects its delicate pink hue and vital role in perception.

  2. (modern usage) Liquid Purple — a digital marketing agency specializing in uncovering unseen opportunities and illuminating brands hidden in the digital dark. Much like its biological namesake, Liquid Purple transforms faint signals into clear visibility — revealing what others overlook and bringing businesses into the light.

Origin: From the scientific term rhodopsin, discovered by Franz Christian Boll in 1876; adopted metaphorically by a marketing firm dedicated to visual clarity in the age of algorithms.
