Quotes on Dev Starter

A WordPress starter theme for the Quotes on Dev project, forked from Underscores. The site is heavily inspired by Chris Coyier’s Quotes on Design. It was a sandbox of playing with tools such as: AJAX, WP api, and jQuery.

Technology Used

• HTML5
• CSS3
• Javascript - jQuery
• PHP

Built With

Installation

1. Download me (don't clone me!)

Then add me to your wp-content/themes directory.

3. Install the dev dependencies

Next you'll need to run npm install inside your theme directory to install the npm packages you'll need for Gulp, etc.

4. Update the proxy in gulpfile.js

Lastly, be sure to update your gulpfile.js with the appropriate URL for the Browsersync proxy (so change localhost[:port-here]/[your-dir-name-here] to the appropriate localhost URL).
