# Announcing Acorn Prettify

We're excited to announce the launch of a new package, [Acorn Prettify](https://github.com/roots/acorn-prettify), which is the successor to the [Soil plugin](https://github.com/roots/soil).

Soil was originally included with the Roots starter theme from 2011 through 2014. When Roots v7 was released, Soil was split out into a standalone plugin.

We're going all-in on Acorn, and we're excited to watch the adoption of Acorn and it's [package ecosystem](https://roots.io/creating-an-acorn-package/) grow. Acorn Prettify includes the main features from Soil that we're going to continue to maintain, including:

- Clean up/cleaner WordPress markup
- Nice search
- Relative URLs, which are now disabled by default

## Migrating from Soil to Acorn Prettify

Remove Soil as a Composer dependency:

```
$ composer remove roots/soil

```

 Copy

Add Acorn Prettify as a Composer dependency:

```
$ composer require roots/acorn-prettify

```

 Copy

Sage users can also remove the `add_theme_support` options for Soil from their `app/setup.php` file.

([See this example from the Sage repo](https://github.com/roots/sage/pull/3172/files))

## Configuration file

Acorn Prettify's features are enabled through a config file ([`config/prettify.php`](https://github.com/roots/acorn-prettify/blob/main/config/prettify.php))

To modify any of the defaults, publish the config file and then edit it to make your changes:

```
$ wp acorn vendor:publish --tag=prettify-config

```
