Base Theme
Download WordPress Base Theme – version 1.1 posted 01-14-2010
This theme is meant to be a starting point for your WordPress theme. It contains some formatting already but you will need to make changes to the styles.css to make this base theme into a fully designed theme.
You can modify the theme files themselves or create a child theme to make your changes on.
Theme Features
- Fixed-width theme with right sidebar
- Includes print, form, and reset stylesheets
- Threaded comment and gravatar support
- 404 page with page suggestions
Custom Functions
- Second sidebar (must be uncommented from functions.php)
- Custom HTML code for comments in functions.php
- Moves gallery CSS to styles.css
- Breadcrumb trail function on pages
- Replaces Howdy with Welcome in the admin screen
- Adds shortcodes to sidebar widgets
- Child or Sibling Pages menu shortcode: [subpages]
- Line break shortcode: [br]
- Strip autoformatting from content shortcode: [raw][/raw]
- Shortcode to display loop: [loop category=”news” query=”" pagination=”false”]
I created this theme because none of the blank themes I found fit what I needed. Different people have different tastes so maybe you’ll prefer one of these other base themes. Some have some formatting and others have no formatting at all.
