The Timber Starter Theme
========================

[](#the-timber-starter-theme)

The "\_s" for Timber: a dead-simple theme that you can build from. The primary purpose of this theme is to provide a file structure rather than a framework for markup or styles. Configure your Sass, scripts, and task runners however you would like!

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/c868a1db70c2e4ce66c1d0714f7403dc3044d5999e5a4ba98f829ab6acdcb934/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f74696d6265722f737461727465722d7468656d652e737667)](https://travis-ci.org/timber/starter-theme)

Installing the Theme
--------------------

[](#installing-the-theme)

Install this theme as you would any other, and be sure the Timber plugin is activated. But hey, let's break it down into some bullets:

1. Make sure you have installed the plugin for the [Timber Library](https://wordpress.org/plugins/timber-library/) (and Advanced Custom Fields - they [play quite nicely](https://timber.github.io/docs/guides/acf-cookbook/#nav) together).
2. Download the zip for this theme (or clone it) and move it to `wp-content/themes` in your WordPress installation.
3. Rename the folder to something that makes sense for your website (generally no spaces and all lowercase). You could keep the name `timber-starter-theme` but the point of a starter theme is to make it your own!
4. Activate the theme in Appearance > Themes.
5. Do your thing! And read [the docs](https://github.com/jarednova/timber/wiki).

What's here?
------------

[](#whats-here)

`static/` is where you can keep your static front-end scripts, styles, or images. In other words, your Sass files, JS files, fonts, and SVGs would live here.

`templates/` contains all of your Twig templates. These pretty much correspond 1 to 1 with the PHP files that respond to the WordPress template hierarchy. At the end of each PHP template, you'll notice a `Timber::render()` function whose first parameter is the Twig file where that data (or `$context`) will be used. Just an FYI.

`bin/` and `tests/` ... basically don't worry about (or remove) these unless you know what they are and want to.
