FoundationPress Child Theme

This is a Wordpress child theme for the parent theme FoundationPress by olfredrik. This theme follows the same conventions and allows you to use Grunt and Bower to control and update dependencies and watch for your SASS changes.

The purpose of the Foundation Press is that it should only contain the most essential, with no need to peel away unnecessary features. If you're looking for a starter theme with built-in shortcode plugins, fancypancy portfolio templates or whatnot, I'm afraid you have to look elsewhere.

Requirements

You'll need to have the following items installed before continuing.

  • Node.js: Use the installer provided on the NodeJS website.
  • Grunt: Run [sudo] npm install -g grunt-cli
  • Bower: Run [sudo] npm install -g bower

Quickstart

cd my-wordpress-folder/wp-content/themes/
git clone git@github.com:thetrickster/FoundationPress-child.git
mv FoundationPress your-theme-name
cd your-theme-name
npm install && bower install

While you're working on your project, run:

grunt or grunt watch for livereload in browser.

And you're set!
