Misc Notes
When you download the theme you’ll notice that the /inc folder contains most of the add-on functionality for the parent theme and all of these files are then loaded up via functions.php
Many of Largo’s core functions are pluggable so you can write your own version of them by using the same function name in a child theme’s functions.php.
You can read up on how that works in the WordPress codex section about child themes .
Largo uses the Options Framework for the Appearance > Theme Options menu pages.
If you need to access a Theme Options value, use of_get_option() instead of the usual get_option(). The theme options pages themselves can be customized from options.php in the main theme folder.
See Homepage layouts from our Largo-Sample-Child-Theme repository.
The Largo parent theme uses LESS CSS to generate the stylesheets including a number of elements borrowed and tweaked from Twitter Bootstrap.
You will notice that the theme’s main style.css is empty except for the header block because we enqueue our styles from css/style.css (the output of /less/style.less when it’s compiled), overriding the WordPress default behavior of including the style.css file in the root of the theme directory.
We use TGM Plugin Activation to package a couple of plugins with the Largo theme that are not currently available in the WordPress plugin directory and to recommend plugins for a number of tasks that are commonly requested for news websites.
The rest of the theme files and the folder structure should be familiar to most WordPress developers, but if you have any questions, feel free to send us an email at [email protected]
To rebuild the translation files, run the following commands:
grunt pot msgmerge -o lang/es_ES.po.merged lang/es_ES.po lang/largo.pot mv lang/es_ES.po.merged lang/es_ES.po grunt po2mo
