StartPoint

Screenshot StartPointThis is a WordPress theme for theme developers. It is a good start point to develop your own templates. If you are looking for a beautiful out-of-box theme this is the wrong place. But it is beautiful inside…

Features

  • Supports multiple languages. All the words used in the theme are in the default gettext file used in WordPress (.mo and .po files).
  • Supports Widgets
  • Contain semantic hAtom microformats.
  • Easy templating. The templates have all important elements and was thinked to only delete some if needed. Also you can rearrange it fast.
  • Easy styling. It only has basic start style applied, but in the .css you can find all the selectors (ids and classes) used in the templates. The naming of this selectors are clear and nested-named.
  • Of course valid XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.0


As example of a theme created based on StartPoint you can see this blog.

Tested on WordPress 2.6.5.

  • I have just updated the theme for 2.1 compatibility.

    If you want eliminate that error in your theme you can replace in sidebar.php lines 33-47

    <?php
    $link_cats = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM $wpdb->linkcategories");
    foreach ($link_cats as $link_cat) {
    $have_links = $wpdb->query("SELECT link_id FROM $wpdb->links where link_category = $link_cat->cat_id and link_visible = 'Y'");
    if ($have_links){
    ?>
    <li>
    <h4><?php echo $link_cat->cat_name; ?></h4>
    <ul>
    <?php wp_get_links($link_cat->cat_id); ?>
    </ul>
    </li>
    <?php }
    }
    ?>

    For

    <?php wp_list_bookmarks('category_before=<li>&category_after=</li>
    &title_before=<h4>&title_after=</h4>
    &category_orderby=name&category_order=ASC
    &orderby=name&order=ASC'); ?>

    Hope this help
