New Theme Dev - Classic VS Starter Theme


Recommended Posts

Hi

I was wondering what the current guidance is on new theme development.

When I last developed a new theme for Prestashop I used the Starter theme as a bare bones template and worked from there. The DevDocs still advices this while at the same sending a mixed message by noting that the Starter theme is also no longer maintained by the core team. Checking the repo there doesn't seem to be anyone maintaining it, with no meaningful updates in the last few years.

So what do most developers do these days, still use the Starter theme or amend the Classic theme to match their needs?

Thanks for any advice in advance.

Just thought I would follow up on this

I spoke with one of the core devs in regards to another issue.

They confirmed that the starter theme is no longer being maintained and that you should use the classic theme. They said they will update the dev docs to reflect this.
