Overview

Using Less when developing a theme can both enhance the code and speed development. However, setting up Less in a every theme (not to mention updating Less for each theme) can make any saved time saved.

This plugin solves that issue by setting up Less for the theme.

Usage

  1. Add style.less at the root of the theme.
  2. Add the following to the after_setup_theme hook.

    add_theme_support( 'less', array(
            'enable' => true
        ) );
