    Hi cComm!

    Have you looked over their documentation? If you are able to provide a bit more information then we can best help find the right answer for your question. As it stands right now, the best I can say is try looking for tutorials. I know there are tons of bootstrap related ones to give you a better understanding of how that Bootflat works. They strike me to be fairly similar in implementation.

    Let us know!

    Hey Jose Thanks for taking the time to reply πŸ™‚

    I have searched for tutorials but there are none ! I am already using a blank bootstrap theme on my site (link below), and bootstrap elements are working fine. But now i want to change the default bootstrap elements with the cool looking ones from boot flat.

    My Site —>> http://www.demo.makeupgulf.com/

    I have found some installation instructions in the bootstrap documentation but i cannot understand them, here they are below. Can you help me understand them.

    1. At the bottom under heading “Quick Start”
    —>> https://www.npmjs.com/package/bootflat#preview

    2.This is bootflats own getting started page, under the first ” Overview ” it says :

    Easy Installation
    Upload all Bootflat files and paste one line of code at the bottom of your head tag. That’s it!

    Page Link — >> http://bootflat.github.io/getting-started.html

    Waiting for help !
    Cheers πŸ™‚

    So, here is hoping this helps you a little more.

    I found a few tutorials that go over the basics of implementing Twitter’s Bootstrap. As I did mention, they do strike me as the same method of implementation so it means a few file name changes here and there. From a quick read of all the links below you would need to create a <link/> to the files you want to load. Do keep in mind that WordPress does provide a way to do that. The function wp_enqueue_script works for script and wp_enqueue_style for stylesheets.

    Here are some tutorials I found from a quick search:

    http://www.tutorialrepublic.com/twitter-bootstrap-tutorial/
    http://www.sitepoint.com/twitter-bootstrap-tutorial-handling-complex-designs/
    http://getbootstrap.com/getting-started/#template
    http://www.tutorialspoint.com/bootstrap/
    http://www.onextrapixel.com/2012/11/12/how-to-use-twitter-bootstrap-to-create-a-responsive-website-design/

    Obviously you do have to know some PHP if you are working with a custom theme, which it sounds like you are doing at this point. ( Great to see, by the way! )

    If you really want to learn more about theme building, there are a few resources available. The codex does a fairly good job of guiding you through the basics of theme development. ThemeShaper has a really great tutorial as well.

    Hope that helps you out further!
