Gromf

Gromf is a WordPress starter theme based on Roots 7.0, using Foundation & Gulp instead of Bootstrap & Grunt.

Features

Since Gromf is heavily based on Roots, most of the features apply to Gromf, except for Grunt & Bootstrap features. Some of the features are:

Gulp for compiling SCSS to CSS, checking for JS errors, live reloading, concatenating and minifying files
Bower for front-end package management(Foundation, Modernizr, jQuery)
HTML5 Boilerplate
- An optimized Google Analytics snippet
Organized file and template structure
ARIA roles and microformats
Theme activation
Theme wrapper
Cleaner HTML output of navigation menus
Multilingual ready and over 30 available community translations
WordPress clean up - Roots cleaning in addition to dashboard & widgets cleanup (see lib/extras.php)

Additional features

Install the Soil plugin to enable additional features:

Root relative URLs
Nice search (/search/query/)
Cleaner output of wp_head and enqueued assets markup
Image captions use <figure> and <figcaption>

Installation

Before you start using Gromf make sure you have NodeJS, Bower and Gulp installed. If you already have NodeJS installed then just run npm install -g bower gulp

Then:

Clone the git repo - git clone git://github.com/schikulski/gromf.git && cd gromf
npm install
bower install
gulp
Profit!

Theme activation

Reference the theme activation documentation to understand everything that happens once you activate Roots.

Configuration

Edit lib/config.php to enable or disable theme features and to define a Google Analytics ID.

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