Welcome to the Today Child Theme wiki! This documentation is intended for developers and content managers that work directly on the UCF Today website.

About this theme

The Today Child Theme is a WordPress theme developed by UCF Web Communications, for use on the UCF Today website.

This theme is built using the Athena Framework, a front-end web framework that provides mobile-first responsive styles tailored to UCF's brand guidelines. We strongly recommend that both content editors and developers familiarize themselves with the Athena Framework to better understand this theme and how to style content using it.

Project goals

This theme was built as part of a redesign and refactor of the UCF Today website. It provides a refreshed look+feel, modernizes the codebase (particularly with an upgrade from Bootstrap 2 to the Athena Framework), improves the content editing experience, and aims to significantly improve performance over the previous theme.

Should I use this theme on my site?

This theme is designed to be used as-is, without customizations or overrides, specifically for the UCF Today website. It should not be used on any other WordPress site.

Consider using the UCF WordPress Theme or a third-party premium theme if you require similar features or templates found in this theme.
