# Rach5



### What is Rach5?

**Rach5** (that's pronounced _Rock_ as in _Rach_-maninov) is a WordPress theme boilerplate developed by Chris Van Patten for Van Patten Media.



Rach5 provides a set of "sensible defaults" that make it faster to jump into developing a custom WordPress website, and get right out of your way as quickly as possible by not imposing any (well, almost any) style decisions. Rach5 uses HTML5, Ruby and Compass, and a mix of WordPress native and custom functions that make theme development fast and fun.



### 1.0

Rach5 has finally hit 1.0! What does that mean for you?



*   All the functions have been removed. They will now be maintained in a separate project: `rach5-plugin`.

*   The project has been condensed to only include the theme directory to simplify management via version control. The plugin will be built to handle maintenance and offer humans.txt/robots.txt defaults.

*   In the interest of maintainability and simplicity, I have removed several template files and condensed them down to loop templates that are called from conditionals in `index.php`. This logic is not typical for WordPress, but is a major part of bringing DRY to Rach5.



For up-to-date documentation, visit the Rach5 website at Van Patten Media Labs or the Github Wiki for the project.
