How to Build a Responsive WordPress Theme with Bootstrap

• Alan01252 14y ago
  Bit of a shameless plug but I created something very similar here. https://github.com/Alan01252/WP-Bootstrap-2.1 https://github.com/Alan01252/WP-Bootstrap-2.1 I used this as the base to create my current blogs theme ( can be found in my profile ). Hope this helps others who my be considering bootstrapping their blog! :)

    Hey, I've used this before. Works like a treat. Just wanted to say thanks!

  Very bad: - Manual loading of jQuery, will lead to multiple jQuery loaded - Missing apparently all action hooks, see wp_head(), wp_footer() etc. This breaks basic blog functionalities and many plugins. Not good: - Hardcoded path to CSS files, see wp_register_style etc - Hardcoded path to JavaScript files, see wp_register_script etc http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development would be a good start.

  The project I've been working allows a theme developer to adopt bootstrap styles. One thing I don't like about bootstrap is having to subject the markup to bootstrap's classnames so I drop in bootstrap styles through mixins instead. Especially all the grid related class names don't seem elegant to me for building a WordPress theme (fine for a quick mockup/early stage site though). Let's say you want to have a wider sidebar, you'd have to change the php template file when it should be a simple tweak in the css.
