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.

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`	Reykjavik
`theme_slug`	reykjavik
`version_since`	1.0.0
`version`	1.0.0
`prefix_constant`	REYKJAVIK
`prefix_var`	reykjavik
`prefix_class`	Reykjavik
`prefix_fn`	reykjavik
`prefix_js`	reykjavik
`prefix_hook_fn`	reykjavik
`prefix_hook`	reykjavik
`text_domain`	reykjavik

Documentation

The theme documentation template can be found in documentation subfolder. Documentation uses the theme_name, theme_slug, version_since and version from above to be replaced.

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.
