The files here are to aid a tutorial hosted on Tuts Plus. The tutorial is by written by Gavin Jaynes and uses the Sage Starter Theme as a base. You can view a demo here.
This repo does not contain the iTheme security plugin referred to in part one. You will need to install that separately.
For more on Sage please see below.
Sage is a WordPress starter theme based on HTML5 Boilerplate, gulp, Bower, and Bootstrap, that will help you make better themes.

- gulp build script that compiles both Less and Sass, checks for JavaScript errors, optimizes images, and concatenates and minifies files
- BrowserSync for keeping multiple browsers and devices synchronized while testing, along with injecting updated CSS and JS into your browser while you're developing
- Bower for front-end package management
- asset-builder for the JSON file based asset pipeline
- Bootstrap
- Theme wrapper
- ARIA roles and microformats
- Cleaner HTML output of navigation menus
- Posts use the hNews microformat
- Multilingual ready and over 30 available community translations
Install the Soil plugin to enable additional features:
- Cleaner output of
wp_head
and enqueued assets - Root relative URLs
- Nice search (
/search/query/
) - Google CDN jQuery snippet from HTML5 Boilerplate
- Google Analytics snippet from HTML5 Boilerplate
Clone the git repo - git clone https://github.com/roots/sage.git
and then rename the directory to the name of your theme or website.
If you don't use Bedrock, you'll need to add the following to your wp-config.php
on your development installation:
define('WP_ENV', 'development');
Edit lib/config.php
to enable or disable theme features
Edit lib/init.php
to setup navigation menus, post thumbnail sizes, post formats, and sidebars.
Sage uses gulp as its build system and Bower to manage front-end packages.
Building the theme requires node.js. We recommend you update to the latest version of npm: npm install -g npm@latest
.
From the command line:
- Install gulp and Bower globally with
npm install -g gulp bower
- Navigate to the theme directory, then run
npm install
- Run
bower install
You now have all the necessary dependencies to run the build process.
gulp
— Compile and optimize the files in your assets directorygulp watch
— Compile assets when file changes are madegulp --production
— Compile assets for production (no source maps).
To use BrowserSync during gulp watch
you need to update devUrl
at the bottom of assets/manifest.json
to reflect your local development hostname.
For example, if your local development URL is http://project-name.dev
you would update the file to read:
...
"config": {
"devUrl": "http://project-name.dev"
}
...
If your local develoment URL looks like http://localhost:8888/project-name/
you would update the file to read:
...
"config": {
"devUrl": "http://localhost:8888/project-name/"
}
...
