The "WordPress Bootstrap Sass Blank" Theme

Bootstrap Sass Blank Theme is a WordPress Blank Theme, with Bootstrap 4 and Sass included. This theme is based on Minimal Blank Theme for all the WordPress/PHP code and well inspired by MonsieurPress for the use of Gulp and some great hierarchical ideas.

The main purpose of Bootstrap Sass Blank Theme is to give you a complete theme architecture (with Boostrap 4 and Sass including, like the name said) to start developping your own theme. It's a blank theme, you don't need to delete any code, just add yours.

Prerequisites

• know Sass
• npm installed
• git installed
• update to Gulp 4 if you have version >4.0 installed
• active WordPress installation
• (optional) livereload plugin installed in your browser

Optimizations

Menus

if your need full implementation of Boostrap Menu in WordPress, I recommand the great custom walker: https://github.com/wp-bootstrap/wp-bootstrap-navwalker

Boostrap-sass

By default all modules are loaded, but you can comment any Bootstrap module you don't need in assets/scss/style.scss Morover, to create your own Bootstrap theme, you can use Bootstrap Magic to generate your variables.scss file

WordPress snippets

If you're not comfortable with WordPress snippets to add components and customize them, you can use WP Hasty to generate them

Known issue(s)

• Message during sass gulp task execution : "boostrap-sass is incompatible with eyeglass 1.2.1, needed eyeglass ^0.7.1" ; in fact it works so it doesn't matter
