BootstrapWP - Bootstrap Theme for WordPress

image

Bootstrap is a responsive front-end toolkit from Twitter designed to kickstart web development, complete with core HTML, CSS, and JS for grids, type, forms, navigation, and many more components. Now you can use it with WordPress as a solid base to build custom themes quickly and easily.

Download the most-up-to-date theme files: Download .zip file Follow the development: WIP Branch on Github

Demo

You can view a demo of this WordPress theme running the latest development branch code at: http://bootstrapwp.rachelbaker.me/

View the theme's base CSS elements at: http://bootstrapwp.rachelbaker.me/base-css/

View the theme's JavaScript guide at: http://bootstrapwp.rachelbaker.me/javascript/

Usage

Download the BootstrapWP theme, and install on a WordPress local or development site.

This is meant to be a base theme for WordPress custom theme development. Your knowledge of WordPress theme development practices as well as understanding of HTML, CSS/LESS, jQuery and PHP are required.

Getting Started

  1. Create a page that uses the template Page - Home Hero, then under Settings->Reading set your site to use a static front page selecting your new page.

  2. Add content to the three "Home" widget areas under Appearances->Widgets.

  3. Create a menu under Appearances->Menus and assign it be your site's Main Menu.

Customization

Comfortable with LESS?

Check out the /assets/css/less folder where the bootstrapwp.less file is the master complier. The included files compile the bootstrapwp.css file that is located in the /assets/css folder. Important! To safely retain the ability to update the less files with future versions of Bootstrap or BootstrapWP, add all custom edits/changes inside the less/bswp-custom.less file.

Not comfortable with LESS?

You can override the compiled bootstrapwp.css file by adding custom styles to the style.css in the theme's root directory.

Prefer to create a Child Theme?

BootstrapWP is Child Theme compatible. For more information on how to create a Child Theme check out the WordPress Codex.
