Instead of maintaining this repo, I'm working on a step-by-step guid for how to replace Bootstrap with Foundation here.

Build Status devDependency Status

Gromf is a Sage fork, a WordPress starter theme based on HTML5 Boilerplate, gulp, Bower, and Foundation Sass, that will help you make better themes.

While Sage is set up to use Bootstrap as default, Gromf uses Foundation. Everything else is more or less the same.

Gromf for Roots 7.x is still available under the 7.x branch.

Requirements

Prerequisite How to check How to install
PHP >= 5.4.x php -v php.net
Node.js 0.12.x node -v nodejs.org
gulp >= 3.8.10 gulp -v npm install -g gulp
Bower >= 1.3.12 bower -v npm install -g bower

For more installation notes, refer to the Install gulp and Bower section in this document.

Features

Install the Soil plugin to enable additional features:

  • Cleaner output of wp_head and enqueued assets
  • Cleaner HTML output of navigation menus
  • Root relative URLs
  • Nice search (/search/query/)
  • Google CDN jQuery snippet from HTML5 Boilerplate
  • Google Analytics snippet from HTML5 Boilerplate

Installation

Clone the git repo - git clone https://github.com/schikulski/gromf.git and then rename the directory to the name of your theme or website.

If you don't use Bedrock, you'll need to add the following to your wp-config.php on your development installation:

define('WP_ENV', 'development');

Configuration

Edit lib/config.php to enable or disable theme features

Edit lib/init.php to setup navigation menus, post thumbnail sizes, post formats, and sidebars.

Theme development

Sage uses gulp as its build system and Bower to manage front-end packages.

Install gulp and Bower

Building the theme requires node.js. We recommend you update to the latest version of npm: npm install -g npm@latest.

From the command line:

  1. Install gulp and Bower globally with npm install -g gulp bower
  2. Navigate to the theme directory, then run npm install
  3. Run bower install

You now have all the necessary dependencies to run the build process.

Available gulp commands

  • gulp — Compile and optimize the files in your assets directory
  • gulp watch — Compile assets when file changes are made
  • gulp --production — Compile assets for production (no source maps).

Using BrowserSync

To use BrowserSync during gulp watch you need to update devUrl at the bottom of assets/manifest.json to reflect your local development hostname.

For example, if your local development URL is http://project-name.dev you would update the file to read:

...
  "config": {
    "devUrl": "http://project-name.dev"
  }
...

If your local development URL looks like http://localhost:8888/project-name/ you would update the file to read:

...
  "config": {
    "devUrl": "http://localhost:8888/project-name/"
  }
...
