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

Gromf

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.

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`

Features

gulp build script that compiles both Sass and Less, checks for JavaScript errors, optimizes images, and concatenates and minifies files
BrowserSync for keeping multiple browsers and devices synchronized while testing, along with injecting updated CSS and JS into your browser while you're developing
Bower for front-end package management
asset-builder for the JSON file based asset pipeline
Foundation Foundation
Theme wrapper
ARIA roles and microformats
Posts use the hNews microformat
Multilingual ready and over 30 available community translations

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:

Install gulp and Bower globally with npm install -g gulp bower
Navigate to the theme directory, then run npm install
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/"
  }
...
