WP Traction

A WordPress framework for the impatient.

Getting Started

1. Make a new folder in your theme's root directory called inc
2. Clone this folder into inc/traction-lib
3. Include traction.core-options.php and traction.core.php or run with the sample functions.php file
4. Move the scss-includes folder from traction-lib/samples into inc/scss-includes
5. Move style.scss to inc/style.scss
6. Edit scss-includes/_variables.scss and `
7. Compile and profit.

Your directory structure should look like this:

theme/
├── functions.php
├── inc/
│   └── scss-includes/
│   └── style.scss
│   └── traction-lib/

Documentation

TBD on an explicit explanation of functions, SCSS mixins, etc. Please review the inline documentation in the meantime.

Why?

This has been a personal framework that I've been hacking together for the last two years in order to expedite my own theme building. It includes a lot of code I've found relevant and helpful - from a variety of sources like the Codex, StackExchange, StackOverflow, various blogs, various plugins, and more - and some of it is uncredited.

Traction is not meant for personal gain. If I've pinched your code without giving you proper due, please notify me immediately, and I will either remove it or add the credit.

The goal of this framework is to help new theme builders spend less time navigating back-end WP code and to spend more time creating a refined front-end experience.
