Raw Child Theme

GitHub project link: https://github.com/rawsta/raw-child/. forked from https://github.com/studiopress/genesis-sample

heavily inspired by:

• Bill Erickson's EA-Genesis-Child
• seothemes' genesis-starter-theme

This is mainly my own Starter-theme for Genesis-based Websites but everyone is welcome to use it. It doesn't stray to far away from the original genesis-sample and is more a compilation of the usual tweaks and setup steps i tend to use on new projects.

Feedback always appreciated.

Installation Instructions

1. Upload the Raw Child theme folder via FTP to your wp-content/themes/ directory. (The Genesis parent theme needs to be in the wp-content/themes/ directory as well.)
2. Go to your WordPress dashboard and select Appearance.
3. Activate the Raw Child theme.
4. Inside your WordPress dashboard, go to Genesis > Theme Settings and configure them to your liking.

For Developers

The version of Raw Child on GitHub includes tooling to check code against WordPress standards. To use it:

1. Install Composer globally on your development machine. See Composer setup steps.
2. In the command line, change directory to the Raw Child folder.
3. Type the command composer install to install PHP development dependencies.
4. Type composer phpcs to run coding standards checks.

You'll see output highlighting issues with PHP files that do not conform to Raw Child coding standards.

Run composer phpcbf if you see “phpcbf can fix the x marked sniff violations automatically” in the output of composer phpcs.

npm scripts

Scripts are also provided to help with CSS linting, CSS autoprefixing, and creation of pot language files. To use them:

1. Install Node.js, which also gives you the Node Package Manager (npm).
2. In the command line, change directory to the Raw Child folder.
3. Type the command npm install to install dependencies.

You can then type any of these commands:

• npm run autoprefixer to add and remove vendor prefixes in style.css.
• npm run makepot to regenerate the languages/raw-child.pot file.
• npm run lint:css to generate a report of style violations for style.css.
• npm run lint:js to generate a report of style violations for JavaScript files.
• npm run fix:js to fix any JavaScript style violations that can be corrected automatically.
• npm run zip to create a raw-child.zip. Files in the excludes array in scripts/makezip.js are omitted.
• genesis-theme-claim change the child-theme claim and title genesis-theme-claim.

Packaging for distribution

1. Follow the install instructions for npm scripts above.
2. Switch to the git branch you plan to distribute.
3. Bump version numbers manually and commit those changes.
4. Type npm run zip to create raw-child.zip. Files in the excludes array in scripts/makezip.js are omitted from the zip. filename.md files will be renamed to filename.txt.
