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! 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://timber.github.io/docs/). 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. `theme/` contains all of the PHP and other files needed by WordPress. When using the Timber Starter Theme as a parent theme, you need to include the theme directory in your child theme’s `style.css` docblock like so: `Template: timber-starter-theme/theme` `views/` 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. `tests/` ... basically don't worry about (or remove) these unless you know what they are and want to. Remove `wp-block-library` stylesheet ------------------------------------ [](#remove-wp-block-library-stylesheet) Remove `block-library/style.min.css`if your theme does not support the Block Editor aka. Gutenberg. ``` remove_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wp_common_block_scripts_and_styles'); ``` Other resources --------------- [](#other-resources) - [This branch](https://github.com/laras126/timber-starter-theme/tree/tackle-box) of the starter theme has some more example code with ACF and a slightly different set up. - [Twig for Timber Cheatsheet](http://notlaura.com/the-twig-for-timber-cheatsheet/) - [Timber and Twig Reignited My Love for WordPress](https://css-tricks.com/timber-and-twig-reignited-my-love-for-wordpress/) on CSS-Tricks - [A real live Timber theme](https://github.com/laras126/yuling-theme). - [Timber Video Tutorials](http://timber.github.io/timber/#video-tutorials) and [an incomplete set of screencasts](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuIlodXmVQ6pkqWyR6mtQ5gQZ6BrnuFx-) for building a Timber theme from scratch. ### Health Score 23 — LowBetter than 27% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity0 Limited adoption so far Community19 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity50 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 60.6% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
