Installing the theme -------------------- [](#installing-the-theme) Go to theme directory (wp-content/themes/) and clone: ``` git clone https://github.com/TheWebsiteGuy/wp-starter-theme ``` Then, 1. Rename the theme folder to something that makes sense for your website. You could keep the name `wp-starter-theme` but the point of a starter theme is to make it your own! 2. Activate the theme in the WordPress Dashboard under **Appearance → Themes**. 3. Do your thing! And read [the docs](https://timber.github.io/docs/). The `StarterSite` class ----------------------- [](#the-startersite-class) In **functions.php**, we call `new StarterSite();`. The `StarterSite` class sits in the **src** folder. You can update this class to add functionality to your theme. This approach is just one example for how you could do it. The **src** folder would be the right place to put your classes that [extend Timber’s functionality](https://timber.github.io/docs/v2/guides/extending-timber/). Small tip: You can make use of Composer’s [autoloading functionality](https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#psr-4) to automatically load your PHP classes when they are requested instead of requiring one by one in **functions.php**. What else is there? ------------------- [](#what-else-is-there) - `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. - `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) this unless you know what it is and want to. 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 17 — LowBetter than 6% of packages Maintenance42 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity5 Limited adoption so far Community6 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity13 Early-stage or recently created project Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
