VWS Bootstrap Starter

A WordPress starter theme that is set up to work with the latest version of Bootstrap.

This theme is not intended for non-developers, but it should be easy to set up.

Theme Setup

1. Install npm on your machine if it's not already installed.
2. In the theme's root, run npm install to install everything (including Bootstrap).
3. Run npm start to run file watcher and start editing.
4. Run npm run build to process files for produciton.

Running npm run buld will create a dist folder on the root. The dist folder will contain all the asset files inside their own folders.

What does npm start do?

It watches for scss and js files and automatically compiles them to the dist folder.

If you're pushing assets to production, be sure to run npm run build before copying the assets in dist since npm start doesn't compress the assets.

What does npm run build do?

It compiles and compresses all the assets found in /js /scss and /img to the /dist folder.

Website-Specific Setup

WordPress block editor is disabled by default. You can re-enable it by deleting the code blocks inside /inc/optimization.php.

For Non-Developers

Once you run npm install do not upload node_modules to your website.
