Theme activation

Theme activation is handled by lib/activation.php.

After you activate Roots from the WordPress admin you'll be redirected to an activation options page where you can choose to:

Create static front page

Create a page called Home and set it to be the static front page. This is normally handled from the Reading settings.

Change permalink structure

Change permalink structure to /%postname%/. This is normally handled from the Permalinks settings.

Change uploads folder

Change uploads folder to /assets/ instead of /wp-content/uploads/. This is normally handled from the Media settings.

Create navigation menu

Create the Primary Navigation menu and set the location. This is normally handled from the Menus section under Appearance.

Add pages to menu

Add all published pages to the Primary Navigation. On a fresh install, this will add the new Home page and existing Sample Page to the navigation.
