Our theme is designed to imitate the University's "department" sub-theme. It is based upon a "starter" theme called Sass WordPress Bootstrap

The theme was designed/developer by Brian Danin | 404-624-6293 | brian.danin `@' mindsing.com | www.mindsing.com | @MindSing in early 2014
The main (Global) menu is placed on the page twice, once in the main horizontal nav area (id="menu-global") and again in the left sidebar (id="sidebar1"). In the left nav, only the current "branch" is shown, the remainder is hidden by CSS. This is a bit inefficient, but it avoids the need to maintain multiple navigation menus.
Several changes have been made:
- Almost all vendor-specific CSS has been removed (In order to reduce the size of the style sheets).
- Many other specialized classes were removed as they were not implemented (i.e. nested .current-menu-item) (reduce CSS)
- The Glyphicons have also been removed (more than 600 lines!), as there was no easy interface with which to use them (reduce CSS)
- The GSU web "rave alert" was added between the main horizontal nav and the main content area.
- The footer normally has three widget areas, each 1/3 the width of the screen - footer 1 is now full-width, footer 2 and 3 are not very usable now.
- Added an iCal processor in the theme plugins (not the best practice...)
Bugs:
- 2015-02-23 - was adding more main navigation entries (to "Global"), when, upon saving, the last few items were dropped and the"Theme locations checkbox was un-checked - leaving us with no main nav. Apparently, we ran out of memory space for the submitted data. To recreate the error, I added about a dozen new menu entries, but only one was saved (HTTP header for the "POST" showed "Content-Length: 131510"). No error codes in the logs anywhere, have not troubleshot further, but suspect it is a PHP-FPM setting that limits post size.
