This article is an example of a very simple WordPress theme, demonstrating:

  • The loop
  • Bootstrap Nav Walker

USE THIS THEME AS THE BASIS FOR YOUR PROJECT, unless you prefer to take a different approach which gets similar results.

See WordPress custom theme examples for a list of examples.

style.css

The style.css file contains:

  • A CSS comment which contains "Theme Name: Unique Name"
  • Your CSS styles
    • Bootstrap styles first
    • Custom styles second
/*
Theme Name: MGDP 2060 Example

After the CSS  comment, paste the Bootstrap CSS styles.

Below the Bootstrap CSS styles, create override styles to customize Bootstrap
*/

header.php

The header.php file contains HTML that is shared by all pages.

Example:


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
  <meta name="description" content="Description here">
  <meta name="keywords" content="Your keywords">
  <meta name="author" content="author name">
	
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo get_stylesheet_uri(); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />

	<?php
		if ( is_home() ) {
			$title = 'Home : Classroom Example';
		} else {
			$title = the_title( );		
		}
	?>

    <title><?php echo $title; ?></title>

  </head>

  <body>
  
		<!-- BEGIN Bootstrap NavBar -->
  
	  <nav class="navbar navbar-default" role="navigation">
	  <div class="container-fluid">
		<!-- Brand and toggle get grouped for better mobile display -->
		<div class="navbar-header">
		  <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
			<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
			<span class="icon-bar"></span>
			<span class="icon-bar"></span>
			<span class="icon-bar"></span>
		  </button>
		  <a class="navbar-brand" href="<?php echo home_url(); ?>">
					<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>
				</a>
		</div>

			<?php
				wp_nav_menu( array(
					'menu'              => 'primary',
					'theme_location'    => 'primary',
					'depth'             => 2,
					'container'         => 'div',
					'container_class'   => 'collapse navbar-collapse',
			'container_id'      => 'bs-example-navbar-collapse-1',
					'menu_class'        => 'nav navbar-nav',
					'fallback_cb'       => 'wp_bootstrap_navwalker::fallback',
					'walker'            => new wp_bootstrap_navwalker())
				);
			?>
		</div>
	</nav>

		<!-- END Bootstrap NavBar -->

index.php

The index.php file contains the HTML for the main body of pages.

Example:


<?php
get_header();
?>  

<div class="container main home">
	<h1>Custom Theme Example Three</h1>

	<div class="post-container">
	
	<?php
	if (have_posts()) :
	   while (have_posts()) :
		  the_post();
		  
			echo '<div class="post">';

				echo '<div class="post-title">';
				
				 echo the_title();
				 
				echo '</div>';
		  
				echo '<div class="post-content">';
				
				 the_content();
				 
				echo '</div>';
			
			echo '</div>';	

	   endwhile;
	endif;
	?>
	
	</div>		 
</div>

<?php  
	get_footer();
?> 

footer.php

The footer.php file contains shared footer information, such as copyright and legal statements.

Example:

 <footer class="container bottombar">
   Footer info goes here
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

functions.php

Create a file named functions.php

<?php

/*

	This is an example of a simple functions.php file.

*/


// Require the Bootstrap NavWalker code be included here:

require_once ('wp_bootstrap_navwalker.php');



// Register Custom Navigation Walker

register_nav_menus( array(
    'primary' => __( 'Primary Menu', 'THEMENAME' ),
) );



Nav Walker

Create a file named wp_bootstrap_navwalker.php.

<?php
