Starter Theme Development Instructions

The starter theme was created by WebMan Design. Please read the instructions below for theme development process.

Additional scripts

This starter theme requires installation of these additional scripts:

• WebMan WordPress Theme Framework - copy the library folder into the theme's root folder.
• WordPress CSS starter - copy the starter SASS folder into the assets/scss folder.
• Post Formats - copy the class-post-formats.php file into the includes/post-formats folder.

Replacements

When developing a new theme, you need to batch replace a predefined set of string variables. Each variable is enclosed in {%= %} brackets (i.e. {%= variable_name %}).

Example replacements:

Prefix variable	Value
theme_name	Theme Name
theme_slug	themeslug
version_since	1.0.0 (http://semver.org/ recommended)
version	1.0.0 (http://semver.org/ recommended)
prefix_constant	THEMESLUG
prefix_var	themeslug
prefix_class	Themeslug
prefix_fn	themeslug
prefix_js	themeslug
prefix_hook_fn	themeslug
prefix_hook	themeslug
text_domain	themeslug

Project replacements:

Developers, fill this section with the actual values used for replacements for future reference.

Prefix variable	Value
theme_name	Modern
theme_slug	modern
version_since	2.0.0
version	2.0.0
prefix_constant	MODERN
prefix_var	modern
prefix_class	Modern
prefix_fn	modern
prefix_js	modern
prefix_hook_fn	modern
prefix_hook	modern
text_domain	modern

Upgrades

In case you upgrade the library (library/*.*) and/or other universal pluggable/external scripts, such as CSS starter (assets/scss/starter), you will need to batch replace certain string variables (see above).

Reference of what variables need to be replaced can be found in the scripts themselves.
