A fast, Bootstrap 5 based WordPress starter theme for developers who prefer coding SCSS, PHP, and JS over using backend settings.

Bootscore is a free, open-source WordPress starter theme framework built on Bootstrap. It’s designed to give developers a fast, flexible, and modern foundation for building responsive WordPress websites — from single-page portfolios to complex multipage projects with WooCommerce integration.

Released under the MIT license, Bootscore is completely free for both personal and commercial use. You can modify, extend, and customize it without restrictions.

Out of the box, Bootscore includes 11 widget areas, a built-in SCSS compiler, and a variety of page and post templates. All assets — including scripts, Font Awesome, and Bootstrap source — are loaded locally, ensuring your site is 100% GDPR-compliant.

Basic Bootstrap knowledge and fundamental coding skills in SCSS, PHP, and JavaScript are required to work with Bootscore effectively. The theme is 100% customizable through code and does not include any WordPress Customizer options or backend settings — all customization is done directly in the child theme’s files. This hands-on approach gives you complete control over your site’s design, layout, and functionality while keeping the framework lightweight and developer-friendly.

Bootscore can be extended with tiny but useful plugins, custom developed for the theme. These add-ons integrate seamlessly and follow Bootscore’s coding standards, allowing you to enhance functionality without compromising performance or design consistency.

Lightweight, developer-focused, and regularly updated, Bootscore combines the power of Bootstrap with the flexibility of WordPress — giving you complete freedom to build fast, secure, and fully responsive websites your way.

    Hi,
    I’m having trouble with content being covered by the navbar. Have fixed logo height to 70px but without adding a top margin to the content this persists? Any ideas? Also the search top widget overlaps the nav items at about tablet width, how to fix this please? Also wondering how you got the slide out login and cart tabs there?

    Many thanks,

    Andrew

    Hi,
    When using a plugin like wp job manager it looks different than the theme styling. Does it inherit bootstrap from the theme or add its own css? How to override this for it to use the themes CSS?

    Thanks,
    Andrew

      Hi Andrew,

      these plugins uses own CSS. You can override them by adding your styles to _bscore_custom.scss in your child.

    Hi,
    I’m having trouble designing the comments section.
    Since many comments are posted vertically, I would like to put a comment field inside the accordion to make it look better.

    Is it possible to accordion comments?

      Hi Alpesh,

      did you setup submenu item correctly? Has this a name? Please share a link to your project, a screenshot is no help. If you work on your local computer, transfer a copy of your project to a live server. Thanks.
