Description
This plugin will convert the markup of themes based on the Thematic theme framework to use html5 elements. Requires Thematic 1.0 or later. New filters were introduced in Thematic 1.0.2 that optimizes the use of this plugin, but it will work with Thematic 1.0 as well using an output buffer.
It uses the built in filters of Thematic to change the markup in desired places. If you are using any childtheme_override_* functions they will still work, and will override this plugin’s loops as well. You will then need to make sure that your override loops uses html5 yourself.
The markup changes are:
- doctype changed to
- conditional comment classes from html5boilerplate are added to the opening
tag - meta tag “charset” added to
- defunkt meta tag http-equiv=Content-type removed (replaced by meta tag above)
- #header uses
element - nav_menu and page_menu uses the
element - post pagination links uses the
element - nav-above and nav-below uses the
element - the loops are using the
element for individual posts. - .entry-header uses the
element - the post title will always be a
- .entry-utility uses the
element - widget areas are
elements, with individual widgets aselements. The widget title is - #footer uses
element
The plugin will also add a html5shiv javascript so the new elements will work with older IE browsers. It tries to be detect if any other script has been enqueued, like modernizr, and will only add the script if necessary.
The plugin is intentionally very bare bones, no settings or checkboxes, just activate and go. Ideas, bug reports and general feature requests are welcome at the github issue tracker.
Installation
- Upload the plugin folder to the
/wp-content/plugins/directory - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- That’s it! No step three! You can verify that your site is using html5 elements with developer tools in chrome or firebug for firefox or similar.
