Basis provides a highly customizable starting point for your theme development.

Basis has been built to make theme development for WordPress easier. If you are an experienced theme developer or a total beginner, Basis provides a highly customizable starting point for your theme development and give your the typically development with WordPress by use Hooks. Basis comes with a pre-defined set of templates, no styles or style-framework for pure development. The theme is widget-ready and introduces a number of custom functions.

Basis has an long tradition, development and maintenance since 2007 - see on the project page. The new version with the codename namespace ;) is usable, but changed in the course of time.

• The plugin have a lot of hooks, always started with wp_basis_
  • also the next string is the string of the template wp_basis_single_
  • the next string on the hook logic is 'before' or 'after' an element in the markup, sometimes 'content' - wp_basis_single_before_content
• the functions.php is current only for check the functions, include a minimum from the often used defaults;
  • older solutions do you find in the classes-old in branch stacker

See the repository for a starter kit, a example.

• WordPress (also Multisite) version 3.3 and later (tested at 3.4)
• PHP 5.3 (use PHP namespaces)

Composer is a dependency manager for PHP. Composer will manage the dependencies you require on a project by project basis. This means that Composer will pull in all the required libraries, dependencies and manage them all in one place. For a detailed description see Composer Site.

The plugin is available as Composer package and can be installed via Composer:

composer create-project bueltge/wordpress-basis-theme --no-dev`.

The package is on packagist and the package name is bueltge/wordpress-basis-theme.

Grunt is a JavaScript task runner. For a detailed description see Grunt.js homepage.

• Node.js

It's quite simple. After Node.js installation, just run the following command (in the theme's folder, where the package.json file is located):

npm install

The Node Package Management (npm) will read the package.json and will install all the packages listed in the devDependencies object.

By default, there's one main task configured: default. For configuration see Gruntfile.js. In the command line, you can run

grunt

Grunt will watch all JavaScript and CSS files within the assets folder. If a file is changed and saved, Grunt will run jshint for JavaScript files and cssmin for CSS files automatically. Feel free to edit the configuration :)

Good news, this theme is free for everyone! Since it's released under the GPL, you can use it free of charge on your personal or commercial blog.

The theme base is designed and developed current by me (Frank Bültge).

Please let me know if you like the theme or you hate it or whatever ... Please fork it, add an issue for ideas and bugs.

I'm German and my English might be gruesome here and there. So please be patient with me and let me know of typos or grammatical farts. Thanks
