Hi. I'm a starter theme called _sBS
, or underscores Bootstrap
, if you like. I'm a theme meant for hacking so don't use me as a Parent Theme. Instead try turning me into the next, most awesome, WordPress theme out there. That's what I'm here for.
My ultra-minimal CSS might make me look like theme tartare but that means less stuff to get in your way when you're designing your awesome theme. Here are some of the other more interesting things you'll find here:
- Bootstrap version 3.3.1 included
- FontAwesome version 4.2.0 included
- WP Bootstrap Navwalker included with some customization
- SmartMenus version 0.9.7
- A just right amount of lean, well-commented, modern, HTML5 templates.
- A helpful 404 template.
- A sample custom header implementation in
inc/custom-header.php
that can be activated by uncommenting one line infunctions.php
and adding the code snippet found in the comments ofinc/custom-header.php
to yourheader.php
template. - Custom template tags in
inc/template-tags.php
that keep your templates clean and neat and prevent code duplication. - Some small tweaks in
inc/extras.php
that can improve your theming experience. - A script at
js/navigation.js
that makes your menu a toggled dropdown on small screens (like your phone), ready for CSS artistry. It's enqueued infunctions.php
. - 2 sample CSS layouts in
layouts/
for a sidebar on either side of your content. - Smartly organized starter CSS in
style.css
that will help you to quickly get your design off the ground. - Licensed under GPLv2 or later. :) Use it to make something cool.
After download this theme, the first thing you want to do is copy the _sBS
directory and change the name to something else (like, say, megatherium
), and then you'll need to do a five-step find and replace with the name in all the templates
- Search for
'_sbs'
(inside single quotations) to capture the text domain. - Search for
_sbs_
to capture all the function names. - Search for
Text Domain: _sbs
in style.css. - Search for
_sBS
(with a space before it) to capture DocBlocks. - Search for
_sBS-
to capture prefixed handles.
OR
- Search for:
'_SBS'
and replace with:'megatherium'
- Search for:
'_sbs'
and replace with:'megatherium'
- Search for:
_sbs_
and replace with:megatherium_
- Search for:
Text Domain: _sbs
and replace with:Text Domain: megatherium
in style.css. - Search for:
_sbs
and replace with:Megatherium
- Search for:
_sbs-
and replace with:megatherium-
Then, update the stylesheet header in style.css
and the links in footer.php
with your own information. Next, update or delete this readme.
Now you're ready to go! The next step is easy to say, but harder to do: make an awesome WordPress theme. :)
This theme based on underscores
Good luck!
