v2.1 Released

Posted by & filed under Releases.

We’re pretty psyched about this release. A few days ago we came across Thomas Park’s project – Bootswatch – and just had to bring it into the WP-Bootstrap theme. Thomas was kind enough to set up a feed for us of all the Bootswatch themes he’s been putting on his site and this update brings in the ability to set a stylesheet from one of those themes as the bootstrap stylesheet.

The ZIP file you download when you download WP-Bootstrap comes with all the Bootswatch themes that have been published as of the time of this post. However, if more themes are released later, you can refresh the themes through the WP-Bootstrap theme options panel.

WP-Bootstrap - Theme Options - Theme

Hopefully you’re just as excited about this as we are.

As always, please let us know your thoughts or suggestions in the comments. Feedback is welcome and encouraged.

    Hello Chris,
    I’m creating a new website using your theme, but i’m having some problems.

    I want the background of the website to be a image, but the content itself to be white. I tryed to set background:#fff; on #content, but did not worked.

    Tryed on container-fluid and container also, but did not worked. Any help with it?

    Thanks :)

      @Julian – After setting the background image in the background page of the Appearance menu, you should be able to set the background-color on #content. After you do that you’ll probably need to give that same #content div a little padding so the text isn’t flush up against the edge. Give it a try and if you have trouble, send me a link to your site and I can have a look.

      @Phill – Make sure that when you unzip it, you unzip it into a folder within the wp-content/themes directory. I should probably have that folder in the zip file actually…

    Hello! Just discovered your project – and haven’t rolled up my sleeves and looked at it in depth yet, but what licence are you using for this? (sorry If its in there and I didn’t catch it.)

    Hello, I really appreciate this theme. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to be able to use the Theme Options page. Despite trying to decode the problem, I cannot seem to find any solution. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks!

    Hi,

    in most of the german mobile networks the html, css and js codes are packed into one file because of performance issues. This disrupts your template when using iPhone, iPad or tethering in these networks (tested OSX with Chrome, Firefox, Safari). I found out that in scripts.js there are some “;” missing to get it run.

    The “bootstrap-alert”-section and the “bootstrap-collapse”-section need to end with a “;” (lines 91 and 248)
    >>> }( window.jQuery ); <<<

    Inside the "bootstrap-dropdown"-section there is a ";" missing at the end of the function call "clearMenus()" (line 306). This is already missing in the original Twitter Bootstrap files.

    Maybe you wanna fix this.

    Greetings from Germany,

    Claudio

    Would you recommend creating a child theme off of your theme to make it easy to take advantage of updates? I am wanting to utilize your theme with out chopping it all up. I want to create my custom page templates, but using your responsive styling. What do you think would be the best way to go about this?

    Thanks for providing this theme for us to use!

    Nice job guys! Using it right now for a project, and can see many projects moving forward.

    Have a question though: what’s up with active menu/nav items? I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make them the hover color. Have tried a:active, and the shown classes (current-menu-item, etc).

    What am I doing wrong? Have seen similar inquires on various bootstrap forums, and most sites in BuiltWithBootstrap appear to also not use an active nav item.

    Suppose I could just page-Id it, but that’s not very practical.

    Thanks in advance.

    Another inquiry:

    So bootstrap comes with less, to handle some commonly used scripts right? It appears that you have compiled a few of those into scripts.js. But, I’m not seeing the scripts for the tooltips and popups, or the carousel. So, I tried to add them in the js file and initiate as shown in the bootstrap demo, buts that a big no go. Accordions and drop downs are all good in the hood, but my additions fail. Any idears? Full disclosure, I’m still mucking my way through jquery, so if you could be so kind as to explain to me as you would you’re pet yorkie, that would be great.

    Thanks again.

    Hi. Really nice theme! But I two problems. First, I can’t see these person, mail and home icons in the comment section in my WordPress installation. Second, I can’t seem to get any blog page up and running. I want a page template where I can create a looped blogpage, to show my latest blog posts. But I can’t figure out how to do that.

    So it would be nice with some help.

    Thank you.

      @Daniel, can you send me a link to your site so I can take a look? To get your blog page up, first create a page for your blog. Then, go to Settings->Reading and select that page you just created as your “Posts” page.

    Not sure where to report this, but I recommend you add [code]error_reporting(0);[/code] to the index.php file for your template. I found a vulnerability allowing full path disclosure through an error generated by this file when you try to access the theme directory directly:

    [code]Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /home/content/[omitted]/themes/the-bootstrap/index.php on line 17[/code]

    • Chris Barnes

      @Joe – Are you sure you have the right theme? I see in the partial path you pasted here that your theme name is “the bootstrap” which is not this theme and is actually another twitter bootstrap based theme that is found in the WordPress theme directory. Please let me know if you are indeed using this theme.
