README

This minimalistic skeleton theme is intended as a starting point, if you plan to develop a WordPress theme from scratch.

• No third-party dependencies.
• No framework.
• Just a simplistic bare-bone theme to get you started.

Installation

You may simply fork it, download it or create a new project by using Composer:

composer create-project netbrothers-gmbh/wordpress-skeleton-theme my-awesome-theme

Styles

Note: The style.css file in the theme's root directory is required by WordPress. If you delete it, the theme cannot be loaded.

This file is prefilled with Eric A. Meyer's Reset CSS and then some simple rules to make the rendered pages at least readable.

Since the file already exists, you might want to use it as a build target with your preferred build tool. Or you could just use it as a starting point and add rules as needed.

In case you need to load styles from other files or external resources, you have to employ the WordPress enqueue mechanism.

Scripts

Although this is not a WordPress requirement, the file js/scripts.js fulfills the same purpose as the style.css file but for your JavaScript code.
