I’ve been trying out Pinegrow for creating a WordPress Bootstrap 5 theme. I’ve been following Adam Lowe’s “Building a WordPress Classic Theme” YouTube series.

I’m looking for a sanity check/assistance with the following:

1. Is it possible to use a Bootstrap CDN instead of local files? If no, why does Pinegrow put the assets in a bootstrap folder instead of under assets? Here’s what I see:

2. When Pinegrow generates files, it uses space indentation – how do I switch to tab indentation?

3. How do I further customize Bootstrap styles such as globally adding text transforms to h#, or styling hyperlinks?

4. Is it possible manage meta tags such as open graph through Pinegrow UI?

Hello!

**1. Bootstrap CDN vs Local Files**  
Yes, you can use Bootstrap CDN instead of local files. Pinegrow creates local files by default for offline development and easier customization, but you can replace them with CDN links in your HTML head.

**2. Code Indentation**  
Pinegrow only uses spaces for indentation (no tab option available). You can adjust the “Code indent size” in Settings to control how many spaces are used.

**3. Bootstrap Customization**  
Two options for global Bootstrap customizations:

- **Page \> Customize & update bootstrap theme** (creates SASS setup)
- **Design Panel** (visual Style panel for Bootstrap variables)

**4. Meta Tags**  
Add meta tags via:

- **Element Editor** : Select `<head>` element → Attribute Properties
- **Code Editor** : Direct HTML editing

**CLARIFICATION** (since I hadn’t previously realized this was WordPress development): With WordPress, editing meta tags for SEO is ideally handled by an SEO plugin like The SEO Framework rather than hardcoding them directly into templates.

Hope this helps with your Bootstrap theme project!
