#BST - A Bootstrap 3 Starter Theme, for WordPress

BST is a (very) simple WordPress starter theme loaded with Bootstrap 3.

Version 1.5

##Features

  • Simple, intuitive, clean code.
  • CSS, JS, functions and template parts in different folders.
  • Bootstrap 3.2.0 - CSS and JS enqueued. You can simply swap the default Bootstrap 3 files (included) for a custom made Bootstrap 3, and this theme will still work.
  • jQuery 1.11.1 called from Google CDN, with a local fallback when offline.
  • NEW: WooCommerce plugin support.
  • NEW: Choice of two navbar positions (top of screen and/or below site title). Simply delete what you don't need.
  • A starter CSS theme - bst.css, enqueued.
  • Visual editor stylesheet - into which the same Bootsrap 3 and starter CSS theme are preloaded by @import, so that WYSI(M!)WYG - what you see in the visual editor is (mostly!) what you get at the front end.
  • Modernizr.js, respond.js and html5shiv.css included - enqueued.
  • Clean-up scripts - e.g. removing WordPress-specific stiff grom the . (Do not rely on these for security.)
  • Optional: in func/cleanup.php some filters are included (but commented-out, so are inactive) for removing WordPress IDs and classes from the navbar(s). If you would like to use these filters, then simply un-comment them.
  • A few simple jQuery scripts - in bst.js, enqueued. Example: Hovernav (see below).
  • Custom comment list callback.
  • Easily make this theme your own - if you rename bst.css to yourtheme.css, and bst.js to yourtheme.js, and then do a global search-and-replace to rename "bst"� to "yourtheme"� everywhere in the theme's code, this theme will still work. (You must also modify the comments in style.css, and rename the root folder from bst/ to yourtheme/.)
  • MIT licence (open source).

This theme has been built for use as a starter theme and as a learning aid for people who wish to get into WordPress theme design.

###Hovernav

The navbar has some modifications that make the dropdown menu appear on hover (in bst.js plus bst.css). The Bootstrap js and css have not been changed. You can easily delete the "hovernav" segments of bst.js and bst.css if you don't want them.

##Notes on WooCommerce support

  • You will need to install the WooCommerce plugin - http://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/
  • I have included the minimum additions to BST to make WooCommerce work (this is a starter theme). It will work fine with these minimum additions, but you can add more style and improve the layout.
  • WooCommerce uses WooCommerce-styled buttons, icons, etc. in its shop, cart, checkout etc. - these are not the same as the Bootstrap buttons, icons etc. I have not replaced the WooCommerce buttons with Bootstrap buttons, because that would mean that you have no control over the appearance of these buttons from within the WooCommerce plugin settings.
  • However I have applied Bootstrap styling to the cart and checkout forms, using jQuery insertion of Bootstrap CSS classes.
  • You will need to add a "Shop" link, e.g. to your primary menu
  • You will need to add some WooCommerce Widgets to the sidebar (at minimum, WooCommerce Cart and WooCommerce Categories)
  • And, of course, you will need to add salable items to your shop, and set up your payment gateway.

###What if you don't want WooCommerce support in BST?

Simply delete or remove these things that you won't be needing:

  • Remove: woocommerce.php .
  • Remove: /func/woocommerce-setup.php .
  • Delete: in /func/setup.php, scroll to the bottom and delete the line add_theme_support('woocommerce');
  • Delete: in /css/bst.css, scroll to the bottom and delete all the .woocommerce styles.
  • Delete: in /js/bst.css, scroll to the bottom and delete all that has to do with WooCommerce.
