[Support request] Bootstrap or sth?

[giannis]

Hello! I am sure many have asked this as well so, sorry for haven’t found anything yet.

GP is marketed as a theme for click dev but I do find it one of the best choices for total custom WP dev because of its clear files structure.

So, do you use bootstrap or sth? what is the layout classes you use? it seemed that bootstrap is not responding.

thank you very much

Hi Giannis,

GP does not use bootstrap or sth. The theme used to use Unsemantic Grid system but that has been deprecated since GP3.0 back in Sep 2020.

New installs since that time would use the CSS Flexbox system and there would be no dependencies on loading another library such as bootstrap:

I believe this article should be exactly what you are looking for:

Let me know if this helps 🙂

Thank you very much!

To be honest, I was looking for something closer to this:

Hi there,

we don’t use any frameworks, the limited CSS that the theme uses for its layouts is Flexbox CSS that is generated dynamically. So there are no classes for content. We moved away from this as Block Editing is the main driver and we created GenerateBlocks for that very kind of thing.

If you’re not a block editor user then you can implement your own CSS framework for content. I would personally avoid Bootstrap unless you need the large amount of code it creates and can handle that some its classes eg. container may conflict with the theme or other plugins.
