gharage

Hi. I'm a custom DevCongress WP theme called dc-gharage, or gharage, if you like. I was created out of the underscores starter theme, but I'm a DevCongress baby now.

My ultra-minimal CSS might make me look like theme tartare but that means less stuff to get in your way when you're designing your awesome theme. Here are some of the other more interesting things you'll find here:

  • A just right amount of lean, well-commented, modern, HTML5 templates.
  • A helpful 404 template.
  • A sample custom header implementation in inc/custom-header.php that can be activated by uncommenting one line in functions.php and adding the code snippet found in the comments of inc/custom-header.php to your header.php template.
  • Custom template tags in inc/template-tags.php that keep your templates clean and neat and prevent code duplication.
  • Some small tweaks in inc/extras.php that can improve your theming experience.
  • A script at js/navigation.js that makes your menu a toggled dropdown on small screens (like your phone), ready for CSS artistry. It's enqueued in functions.php.
  • 2 sample CSS layouts in layouts/ for a sidebar on either side of your content.
  • Smartly organized starter CSS in style.css and css/dc-gharage.css that will help you to quickly get your design off the ground.
  • My main fonts, Fira Sans, has been extracted to the /fonts folder. The hgroup font, Actor, is a Google Font. You know where to find it. Use it to make something cool.

Getting Started

If you want to set things up manually, the first thing you want to do is copy the _s directory and change the name to something else (like, say, azonto), and then you'll need to do a five-step find and replace on the name in all the templates.

  1. Search for 'dc-gharage' (inside single quotations) to capture the text domain.
  2. Search for _dc_gharage_ to capture all the function names.
  3. Search for Text Domain: dc-gharage in style.css.
  4. Search for  _dc-gharage (with a space before it) to capture DocBlocks.
  5. Search for _dc-gharage- to capture prefixed handles.

OR

  • Search for: 'dc_gharage' and replace with: 'azonto'
  • Search for: _dc_gharage_ and replace with: azonto_
  • Search for: Text Domain: dc_gharage and replace with: Text Domain: azonto in style.css.
  • Search for:  _dc_gharage and replace with:  Azonto
  • Search for: _dc-gharage- and replace with: azonto-

Update the links in footer.php with your own information. Next, update or delete this readme.

Now you're ready to go! The next step is easy to say, but harder to do: be awesome! :)

Good luck!
