A minimal, developer-focused WordPress starter theme built for clean, maintainable, and performance-oriented projects.

== Description ==

Devroot is a lightweight WordPress starter theme built for developers who prefer working from a clean and extensible foundation.

It provides:

- Clean and semantic template hierarchy
- Modular file structure
- Minimal base stylesheet
- Prefixed internal hook system

- Translation-ready structure (text domain: devroot)

Devroot avoids unnecessary abstractions and dependencies.

It provides a clean and extensible foundation for building modern WordPress projects while maintaining a classic theme architecture.

== Philosophy ==

Devroot is intentionally minimal.

The goal is to provide developers with a lightweight and maintainable starting point without imposing frameworks, visual builders, or complex tooling.

Devroot embraces the classic WordPress theme architecture while remaining compatible with modern WordPress features.

== Features ==

- HTML5 markup support
- Responsive embeds

- Wide alignment support

== Use Cases ==

Devroot is suitable for:

== Custom Hooks ==

Devroot provides internal hooks for extensibility:

- devroot_before_header
- devroot_after_header
- devroot_before_content
- devroot_after_content
- devroot_before_footer
- devroot_after_footer

All hooks are prefixed with `devroot_` to avoid naming collisions.

2. Activate it from the WordPress admin.
3. Assign a primary menu under Appearance → Menus.
4. Start building.
