Theme development

Flat uses Grunt for compiling LESS to CSS, checking for JS errors, live reloading, concatenating and minifying files.

Add the following to your wp-config.php on your development installation:

define('WP_ENV', 'development');

Install Grunt

Unfamiliar with npm? Don't have node installed? Download and install node.js before proceeding.

From the command line:

1. Install grunt-cli globally with npm install -g grunt-cli.
2. Navigate to the theme directory, then run npm install. npm will look at package.json and automatically install the necessary dependencies. It will also automatically run bower install, which installs front-end packages defined in bower.json.

When completed, you'll be able to run the various Grunt commands provided from the command line.

Available Grunt commands

• grunt dev — Compile LESS to CSS, concatenate and validate JS
• grunt watch — Compile assets when file changes are made
• grunt build — Create minified assets, then export theme package for WordPress.org

Customization

Flat is able to be customized extensively by the WordPress hooks & filters API, which is a fancy way of saying that without creating a child theme, you have the freedom to add, remove, and change a lot of what makes Flat Flat. In addition to the default hooks & filters that just about any WordPress theme has available, Flat is equipped with the following:
