About the new theme

The UW WordPress Theme was built using WP Rig v1.0.4 as a starter theme.

New features include:

• Bootstrap 4.6 integration
• Mobile-first design
• Progressive enhancement
• Component-based development
• Modern Sass and CSS, layouts using grid and flexbox, autoprefixing
• Modern JavaScript
• Starter child theme

Requirements & Recommendations

The theme has been tested on many WordPress versions, back to 4.9.x.

Minimum WordPress: 5.4

Minimum PHP: 7.2

If you are using WordPress 5+, please use the Classic Editor plugin for best results.

If you are using WordPress 5.8+, please additionally use the Classic Widgets plugin.

Gutenberg/block editor support will be in a future version of the theme.

Want to receive notifications in WordPress when there is a new version of the theme, just like a theme from the WordPress repository? Try the Git Updater plugin.

Future development and release cycle

Our goal for the theme is continuous improvement. We plan to push out at least one release per quarter.

Known issues

• In < WP 5.0, nested shortcodes with background images in the inner shortcode do not work as expected. The default background image shows but specified background images do not (HTML images work fine). They work as expected in WP 5.4+. (Note the minimum WP version for the theme listed above.)

• Shortcodes cannot be nested inside Card shortcodes. We don't anticipate enabling this behavior.

• Extra spaces following the opening shortcode name can cause unexpected behavior.
