Contributers

There have been no direct third-party contributions to Pacific. It's parent theme, Flat, received many contributions; Pacific, of course, benefits from them, and you are encouraged to appreciate the contributors highlighted at Flat's project page.

Theme development

Pacific uses Grunt for compiling LESS to CSS, checking for JS errors, live reloading, concatenating and minifying files.

Add the following to your wp-config.php on your development installation:

define('WP_ENV', 'development');

Install Grunt

Unfamiliar with npm? Don't have node installed? Download and install node.js before proceeding.

From the command line:

1. Install grunt-cli globally with npm install -g grunt-cli.
2. Navigate to the theme directory, then run npm install. npm will look at package.json and automatically install the necessary dependencies. It will also automatically run bower install, which installs front-end packages defined in bower.json.

When completed, you'll be able to run the various Grunt commands provided from the command line.

Available Grunt commands

• grunt dev — Compile LESS to CSS, concatenate and validate JS
• grunt watch — Compile assets when file changes are made
• grunt build — Create minified assets, then export theme package

Customization

Pacific is able to be customized extensively by the WordPress hooks and filters API, which is a fancy way of saying that without creating a child theme, you have the freedom to add, remove, and change a lot of what makes Pacific what it is. In addition to the default hooks and filters that just about any WordPress theme has available, Pacific is equipped with the following:
