Prime is the Parent BoldGrid theme that contains all the functionality that the BoldGrid Theme Framework<\/b> has to offer. The Child Starter Theme is the Child Theme that contains configuration specific information, and works just like the standard child theme would in WordPress. This Child Theme does not have any styling and can be used to create your own theme very quickly. Both are actively maintained in our public GitHub account.<\/a><\/p>\n

If you have BoldGrid Inspirations already installed, you will need to first restore the WordPress admin menu<\/a> to complete this guide<\/div>\n

Congratulations! You now know how to download and install the parent theme that includes the BoldGrid Theme Framework<\/b>, and the parent theme Prime<\/b>. When using WordPress, a child theme usually consists of at least one directory (the child theme directory) and two files in that directory (style.css and functions.php). In addition, BoldGrid also requires a configuration file and a SCSS file to utilize the benefits it provides, both of which are included in the child Starter Theme to help you better understand the structure and syntax. The following tutorial will walk you through step by step installing the Starter Child Theme<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
