bootstrap_s

WordPress starter theme based on Underscores using Bootstrap with LESS for responsiveness, Grunt.js for automation and Bower for front end package management.

It is assumed that you already have Grunt, Bower and LESS installed on your local machine.

You also need grunt-init, which you can install globally with

npm install -g grunt-init

To clone the repository and add the template to grunt-init for automated project scaffolding run

git clone git@github.com:4Digits/bootstrap_s.git ~/.grunt-init/bootstrap_s

Installation

Install a copy of WordPress on your localhost. Cd into your themes folder with

cd /var/www/YourWordPressInstallation/wp-content/themes

and create a new, empty theme folder.

1. Generate the template files in your empty theme folder

grunt-init bootstrap_s

You should give your theme a title and function-prefix (e.g. MyTheme / mytheme).

2. Install all required NPM modules

npm install

3. Install Bootstrap and other frontend dependencies with Bower

To add your packages of choice, modify bower.json and run

bower install

4. Compile folder structure with Grunt

grunt compile

5. Monitor your filesystem for changes

grunt

In order to monitor file changes in real time without manually refreshing your browser, install LiveReload for Chrome and run it in your tab.

Enjoy :)
