B4st Versions Save

Improvements and fixes for the theme hooks, and now an accompanying tutorial in the wiki.

Now with action hooks.

The loop partial PHP files in the loops/ folder have been refactored and given more understandable names. So now:

• Index-loop and index-post

  • In this starter theme, the blog index.php, category.php and author.php all use the same index-loop.php. The actual post loop content has been extracted to a partial, index-post.php.

• Single-post

  • The single.php template uses the partial single-post.php

• Page-content

  • The partial page-content.php is analogous to single-post.php but for the page template.

• Search-results

  • The partial search-sesults.php loops through the search results and displays them on the search template.

b4st, a really simple WordPress starter theme with Bootstrap 4, has now been released.

Release Notes

Besides some minor improvements and bug fixes, these things deserve your attention:

• A wiki has been started.

  • So far, the wiki has only one entry – a tutorial about how to create a child theme for b4st (should you need to). Usually you won't need a child theme – because b4st is in itself intended as a starter theme. But you may like to use child themes e.g. for a seasonal or special temporary variation of your theme.

• Font Awesome 5 has been included.

  • Until v1.8, b4st had included Font Awesome 4. The Font Awesome 5.0.2 JavaScript has been enqueued from the Font Awesome Free CDN, use.fontawesome.com (whereas other style and script dependencies in b4st are sourced from cdnjs.com).
