<h2 id="anhtml5lightweightresponsiveretina-readystarterwordpressthemefordevelopers.">An HTML5, lightweight, responsive, retina-ready starter WordPress theme for developers.</h2>
<p>While Template <em>is</em> stripped-down, it is meant to have some useful defaults so you can start developing right away. Whatever you don’t need or want, change it, comment it out or delete it.</p>
<p>What Template is <em>not</em> is a completely bare-bones theme. If you’re looking for that, we’ve got you covered! Check out Plate — our completely stripped-down version of Template. https://studio.bio/themes/plate</p>
<p>Template is based on the amazing Bones starter theme by Eddie Machado: http://themble.com/bones.</p>
<p>If you’re not familiar with Bones, I highly suggest you check it out before using Template. Bones is exquisitely commented and meant to be a learning tool.</p>
<p>I make no Bones (pun definitely intended) about Template copying a lot of what was included in Bones but wanted to customize it for my studio’s workflow. This may or may not work for you.</p>
<p>With that in mind, we’ve removed some things I never used in Bones (like Link Pages, tags on pages and IE8 grids amongst others) and added some things in that we use often: more page templates, updated default font stack, a custom post type plugin template, and some custom functions.</p>
<p>We’ve also included some extras and goodies that developers may find useful but kept those out of the main files.</p>
<p>Edit this, fork it, change it, delete it - whatever. As Eddie might say: it’s your world. But I hope you make something cool with it.</p>
<h2 id="alittlehistory">A Little History</h2>
<p>My introduction to Bones came five years ago after trying out just about every starter theme out there. Once I found Bones I was hooked and have used it ever since on hundreds of projects. Bones got me to use Sass/SCSS, taught me a ton about WordPress, how themes <em>really</em> work, and made me a better developer.</p>
<p>Yet, over time I found I was making the same changes to Bones at the start of every project and this was taking up valuable time. Thus, I created the predecessor to this theme called ‘Osseous’ which included some of the changes found in Template. Osseous literally means: ‘of, relating to, or composed of bone’ and was a good departure point.</p>
<p>Template picks up where Osseous left off and takes things a bit further with ‘Template’. It includes namespaced functions and customized defaults along with a lot of other stuff I like and use for my development. Your mileage may vary.</p>
<p>2017 Update: we’ve gone through and done a major rewrite, adding and updating the following:
- WordPress Customizer support
- WooCommerce support
- updated body class function
- expanded Quicktags
- template part library (really cool)
- updated comments
- cleaned up header.php
- admin and login page updates
- updated media query .scss stylesheets
- removed @2x and ie_grid (who uses those?)
- HTML schema support
- updated css reset
- default .scss classes</p>
<p>…and much, much more.</p>
<p>This is the beginning for Template so we welcome improvements, comments, criticism and general feedback. I’ve probably made a ton of mistakes so as with anything open source, it is a work in progress.</p>
<h2 id="recommendedplugins">Recommended Plugins</h2>
<p>Some of the stuff in Template references plugins that I use with just about every site and I recommend:
- Advanced Custom Fields (Pro): https://www.advancedcustomfields.com. A must-have.
- WP Retina 2x: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-retina–2x/. Works with WP built-in retina support. Just install and forget it.
- EWWW Image Optimizer: https://wordpress.org/plugins/ewww-image-optimizer/. Smush all of the images. Automagically.
- Plugin Organizer: https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-organizer/. Selective plugin loading on a per-page, per-post and per-type basis. Word.
- WP Migrate DB Pro: https://deliciousbrains.com/wp-migrate-db-pro/. Indispensable tool if you work on sites locally (and you should).</p>
