I’m a huge fan of Underscores, Bootstrap, and Sass. Why not combine these into a solid WordPress Theme Framework? That’s what Mymentech is. You can use it as a starter theme and build your own theme on top of it. Or you can use it as a parent theme and create your own child theme for Mymentech.

The _s theme is a good starting point to develop a WordPress theme. But it is “just” a raw starter theme. That means it outputs all the WordPress stuff correctly but without any layout or design. Why not add a well known and supported layout framework to have a solid, clean and responsive foundation? That’s where Bootstrap comes in.

Some basics about the Sass and CSS files that come with Mymentech:

• The theme itself uses the /style.cssfile only to identify the theme inside of WordPress. The file is not loaded by the theme and does not include any styles.
• The /css/theme.css and its minified little brother /css/theme.min.css file(s) provides all styles. It is composed of five different SCSS sets and one variable file at /sass/theme.scss:

@import "../src/bootstrap-sass/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap";  // 2. All the Bootstrap stuff - Don´t edit this!
@import "mymentech/mymentech"; // 3. Some basic WordPress stylings and needed styles to combine Boostrap and Underscores
@import "../src/fontawesome/scss/font-awesome"; // 4. Font Awesome Icon styles
// Any additional imported files //
@import "theme/theme";  // 5. Add your styles into this file

• Don’t edit the number 2-4 files/filesets listed above or you won’t be able to update Mymentech without overwriting your own work!
• Your design goes into: /sass/theme.
  • Add your styles to the /sass/theme/_theme.scss file
  • And your variables to the /sass/theme/_theme_variables.scss
  • Or add other .scss files into it and @import it into /sass/theme/_theme.scss.

There are several ways to install Mymentech. We'll look at three of them: (1) classic install by uploading Mymentech to a WordPress install, (2) using npm, and (3) using the theme directory in WordPress.

• Download the mymentech folder from GitHub or from https://mymentech.com
• IMPORTANT: If you download it from GitHub make sure you rename the "mymentech-master.zip" file just to "mymentech.zip" or you might have problems using child themes!
• Upload it into your WordPress installation theme subfolder: /wp-content/themes/
• Login to your WordPress backend
• Go to Appearance → Themes
• Activate the Mymentech theme

• Open your terminal
• Change to the directory where you want to add Mymentech
• Type npm install mymentech

• Open your WordPress backend
• Click on "Appearance -> Themes"
• Hit the "Add new" button
• Search for "Mymentech"
• Hit the "install" button
• Activate the theme

• Make sure you have installed Node.js and Browser-Sync (optional) on your computer globally
• Then open your terminal and browse to the location of your Mymentech copy
• Run: $ npm install

To work with and compile your Sass files on the fly start:

• $ gulp watch

Or, to run with Browser-Sync:

• First change the browser-sync options to reflect your environment in the file /gulpconfig.json in the beginning of the file:

{
    "browserSyncOptions" : {
        "proxy": "localhost/theme_test/", // <----- CHANGE HERE
        "notify": false
    },
    ...
};

• then run: $ gulp watch-bs

The front-page slider is widget driven. Simply add more than one widget to widget position “Hero”.

• Click on Appearance → Widgets.
• Add two, or more, widgets of any kind to widget area “Hero”.
• That’s it.

Add a new file to the themes root folder called rtl.css. Add all alignments to this file according to this description: https://codex.wordpress.org/Right_to_Left_Language_Support

Mymentech includes several different page template files: (1) blank template, (2) empty template, and (3) full width template.

The blank.php template is useful when working with various page builders and can be used as a starting blank canvas.

The empty.php template displays a header and a footer only. A good starting point for landing pages.

The fullwidthpage.php template has full width layout without a sidebar.
