WordPress Theme Config
======================

[](#wordpress-theme-config)

Sensible default settings and intelligent overrides for theming WordPress.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Via Composer:

```
composer require elcontraption/wp-theme-config

```

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

In your theme's `functions.php` file:

```
/**
 * Require Composer's autoloader if you haven't already:
 */
require('vendor/autoload.php');

/**
 * Initialize ThemeConfig.
 */
ElContraption\WpThemeConfig\ThemeConfig::getInstance();
```

Check out the [default config files](defaults). You may override any of the settings within the default config files by creating a file of the same name in your theme's `config` directory. Your config override must return an array. You only need to declare the settings you would like to override.

Adding configuration settings
-----------------------------

[](#adding-configuration-settings)

TODO: add documentation for this.

**Important**: all config settings are initialized on `after_setup_theme`, so actions that need to be initialized on that hook should not be wrapped in `add_action`.
