Wordless is a WordPress plugin and theme boilerplate that brings modern tooling (Pug templating, Sass/SCSS, Babel, WebPack, BrowserSync) to custom WordPress theme development. It provides a structured theme organization, WP-CLI theme bootstrapping, and a set of PHP helper functions for views.

Use cases

• build a custom WordPress theme with modern tooling
• write WordPress templates with Pug instead of raw PHP
• use Sass/SCSS in a WordPress theme
• set up live reload and WebPack build for WordPress theme development
• bootstrap a new WordPress theme via wp-cli
• transpile modern JavaScript with Babel in a WordPress theme

When to choose

• you want an opinionated, structured starter theme with Pug and Sass
• you develop WordPress themes and want WebPack, BrowserSync, and Babel out of the box
• you prefer wp-cli-based theme scaffolding

When to avoid

• you use block-based/full-site-editing WordPress themes
• you prefer plain PHP templates without a build step
• you need a project with an explicit license or very active maintenance
