A common baseline of repeated functions, filters and actions used across our WordPress themes.

• Webpack dependency manifest asset loading
  Uses the Dependency Manifest Plugin from ideasonpurpose/docker-build.

• Miscellaneous Fixes and Cleanup

  • Add a design credit to the WordPress dashboard.
  • "Howdy" is removed from the admin menu bar.
  • Lots of junk is removed from wp_head. Many optimizations come from the Soil plugin.
  • WordPress will attempt to trigger a Browsersync reload from the save_post hook.

• ShowIncludes A div showing all included theme files will be appended to the page when WP_DEBUG is true. To disable it, initialize the class with an array containing: ['showIncludes' => false]

• Global Comments Disable Comments and Trackbacks are completely disabled. To re-enable comments, initialize the ThemeInit class with an array containing: ['enableComments' => true]

• Admin\Separators Quickly add separators to the WordPress admin dashboard's left sidebar. Initialize the class with a list of numbers representing the index locations where separators should appear in the menu. Arguments can be an array or multiple arguments.

// Add separators
new Admin\Separators(5, 7);

// or use an array
new Admin\Separators([5, 7]);

• SEO Framework Tweaks We apply several tweaks to the excellent The SEO Framework plugin:
  • Hide the author's name
  • Move the metabox to the bottom of admin pages
  • Show the default image from the first post in archives
