wd_s VS understrap

Or if you would prefer underscores with integrated build tools, sass support, js concatenation, etc. you can check out Webdevstudios _shttps://github.com/WebDevStudios/wd_s

I would setup a local development environment using a tool like https://localwp.com/ and install Wordpress's development starter theme Underscores (or Web Dev Studios fork of Underscores which contains build tools/webpack) and just get familiar with the baseline layout of a wordpress theme.

Some starter themes for devs support Tailwind CSS, besides Roots/Sage those are: wd_s, wpemerge, wordplate (they use an abstraction on top of webpack called Laravel Mix, there are official Tailwind docs for it).

Nice project. What's your plan if Underscores doesn't get updated anymore? There is a similar project called wd_s, also using Tailwind.

Here are thoughts and an interesting discussion about starter themes from a little while back. Currently I'd pick between wd_s and the mentioned TT1 Blocks theme.

But I highly recommend skeleton theme like underscores or wd_s https://github.com/WebDevStudios/wd_s/blob/main/README.md

wd_s seems to be a good upgrade from _s.

wd_s, a modern starter theme for WP hackers that follows WP standards.

A free theme that I like is Understrap (https://understrap.com/). It has single post templates. You can easily customize the templates in a child theme. I believe most themes have single post templates but Understrap's php is easy to modify, along with the html and css.

They got bought out in 2021, not a good idea. e.g. https://github.com/understrap/understrap/issues/1258

I really like Understrap for a starter theme (https://understrap.com/). Using a child theme it's possible to create custom page and post templates, add widget areas, and so forth. It's free, both theme and child theme, and uses Bootstrap 4 framework.

understrap is an option if you want to Bootstrap things... https://understrap.com/

There are out-of-the-box solutions that we can use to create a bare-bones WP theme, that only has a basic skeleton. Some of the places where we can create such themes are Underscores, UnderStrap, and Bones.

I'm a developer, so I tend to start from a really blank slate. https://understrap.com/ https://underscores.me/ https://www.wordpressify.co/

I like using Understrap theme as my base (https://understrap.com/). The theme uses Bootstrap 4 as its framework. It's easy to change/add css to get what I want. Creating custom page templates is easy. Adding widget areas is easy. Modifying or adding to the php code isn't hard. The theme is free as is the child theme.

I recommend, https://underscores.me/ or https://understrap.com/ Personally I don't like Elementor or any theme that has a bunch of build in editing tools and such.
