@atcraigwatson is doing some awesome work with the customizer and changing some of the nav options.
Typically, my use-case for this theme is a starting point for a fully styled theme. In these cases, there is one prescribed nav to be used as part of the theme and adding customizer options doesn't seem like a good fit for my clients. However, I see a lot of value in this for those who want to have this flexibility (including myself on my own sites). To that end, I'd love to introduce these customizer fields via a plugin and the plugin can then take advantage of the Bootstrap Genesis filter(s) to apply the changes.
@salcode I think I am understanding your method a little more now. I made a change to page and single post titles by putting them in a full width .jumbotron
.
The commit can be seen here Move page and single post title
Are you suggesting that this nature of change, you would have liked to see put in a plugin with features such as choosing which pages, post, archives, etc. that you wish for this functionality to be used on?
For example:
Use the theme customizer to have checkboxes for moving the page title in:
- Pages
- Posts
- Archives
- Etc.
I quite like the sound of that because it prevents theme bloat while allowing quick options if you want to install the plugin.

Firstly, I was checking out your Move page and single post title commit and it looks very cool (to the point, I'm wondering if I want to modify my own site to use this format).
At the same time, I imagine building a custom theme that does not use this same presentation, in which case, I imagine one would have to find these modifications, remove them, and then apply their own modifications. That is what I'd ideally like to avoid.
This is a really long was of saying, yes, I think this would work great in a plugin 😀
I think one thing that is worth considering is how comprehensive a plugin should be. On one extreme, I could imagine having a single plugin that adds all of these options to the Customizer. On the other extreme, I could imagine having a bunch of tiny plugins that do not have any Customizer options (e.g. in regards to the navbar modifications you have in the Customizer, there would be a plugin that when run sets the navbar to inverse (no settings), another plugin when run would make the navbar contained (no settings)) - in this setup the turning on/off of the plugin would be in place of changing settings.
I don't think either approach is necessarily wrong or right (and I can imagine some things existing in both forms). In the context of building themes that are not meant to be modified (e.g. building a custom theme for a specific client), I think the tiny no setting plugins might work best (especially if the plugin is easy to use as a mu-plugin). In the case of running the theme as a Bootstrap theme (or restyled almost entirely through Bootstrap Sass variables), I think the Customizer route would have the most value.
At the end of the day, of course please feel to write whatever kind of code you like 😀
and if adding something like a filter or action to the Bootstrap Genesis core is helpful, I'm definitely open to that.
