Installation

RAD Theme Engine is a suite of utilities that aim to simplify the WordPress theme development experience.

Create a new Theme

Starting from the root of your WordPress site, navigate to the themes folder and use Composer to create a new rad-theme-engine project.

> cd wp-content/themes
> composer create-project open-function-computers-llc/wp-theme <theme-name>

Next, navigate into your new theme and install rad-theme-engine's dependancies.

> cd <theme-name>
> npm install

Finally, run Laravel Mix to begin compiling your Sass, JS, and other static assets in real-time as you work on your theme. > npx mix watch

🎉

And just like that, you're ready to go!
