We’ve built the WordPress Bootstrap theme so that it could be used as-is or as a starting point for theme developers. It’s built on top of the brilliant Bones theme framework by Eddie Machado and based on v2.1.1 of Twitter’s Bootstrap.
Here’s what we’ve got so far. Watch this project on Github to keep up with some enhancements we’re developing.
Bootswatch Themes
Thomas Park was nice enough to help us bring in the Bootswatch themes to WP-Bootstrap. Through the theme options panel you can now select from any of the themes on Bootswatch.
Responsive
Resize this browser window or check out this site on your phone and you’ll see that we’ve built this with a responsive approach. This will look good on everything from mobile to desktop.
Page Templates
We’ve packaged four different page templates into this theme.
- Homepage template (seen on the homepage of this site)
- Standard page with right sidebar (this page)
- Page with left sidebar
- Full width page
Theme Options Panel
Want to change some colors? Want the top nav to scroll with the content? Hide the search box in the top nav? Do it all in our options panel.
Shortcodes
We’ve built in some shortcodes so you can easily add UI elements found in Twitter Bootstrap.
Sidebars
We’ve built in two different sidebars. One for the homepage and one for the other pages. Add widgets to your heart’s content.
