Functionality

The app/ directory contains all the theme functionality. Since Sage is a starter theme, it’s okay for you to modify files within app/ to meet the needs of the site you’re building.

Most of the PHP code in Sage is namespaced and autoloaded, so make sure to use namespaced functions and classes. If you aren't familiar with these methods, see our blog posts on:

The app/ directory

  • app/setup.php — Enqueue stylesheets and scripts, register support for theme features with add_theme_support, register navigation menus and sidebars. See Theme Configuration and Setup.

  • app/filters.php — Add WordPress filters in this file. Filters included by default:

    • excerpt_more — add "… Continued" to excerpts.

  • app/Providers — The place for any Service Providers you care to define for your theme. Comes with ThemeServiceProvider that adds no functionality but provides a template for your own Service Providers.

  • app/View — The place for view-related code, i.e. Composers and Components. For more information, see the documentation on Composers and Components.

This is a WordPress site, but the Roots docs are powered by Acorn & Laravel routes instead of from a WordPress post type or page. If you’re interested in the ability create WordPress virtual pages powered by Laravel routes in a routes/web.php file, you might like Radicle.
