LessCSS

LESS extends CSS with dynamic behaviour such as variables, mixins, operations and functions.Implements LessCSS in order to provide lots of interesting features for the theme development.

How to use ?

Just enqueue the LESS files (with .less extension) as it is usually done for the CSS ones, and the corresponding CSS files will automatically be generated and added to the site.

Important Notes

1.This plugin is based on lessphp by Leaf Corcoran

2.This plugin generates the css file under “/wp-content/uploads/lessify-cache” and therefore you need to define your images and any external links on you less file using the themeurl variable available with this plugin and if you use relative url then it will not work as we are saving the css file in a different location.

3.In order to use themeurl variable with the images you can do something like this

body{ background-image: url(@{themeurl}/images/bg.png); }
the plugin also comes with

another variable lessurl which provides the url where the less file is present.

Installatie

  • Download the plugin and extract it.
  • Upload the directory ‘/lessify-wp/’ to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory.
  • Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  • That’s it you are done, you can now start creating your less files and enqueue to wordpress.

The less style sheet is showing up before the child theme style sheet in the source, and I’m not sure how to change this. I wish there was documentation about how to set this up for child themes. Otherwise, it seems good.
