This version of Jomres includes the ability to run Jomres in WordPress without needing the theme to support Bootstrap.

Ever since Jomres was modified to work with WordPress 7 years ago one limitation has always been that the CMS's theme needed to support Bootstrap. With recent changes in WordPress, this is no longer a problem.

In Site Configuration, you can set the Bootstrap version to "No Bootstrap in theme". If you do that Jomres will automatically include CDN versions of Bootstrap 3 which shouldn't affect other areas of the theme's markup.

Here you can see a screenshot of it in WordPress's Twenty Twenty-One theme.

If you choose to use this option, in Site Configuration it's recommended that you set the "Include Font Awesome icon set?" option to Yes.

To allow the BS3 Jomres template files to play nice it has been necessary to include a new template file called wordpress_non_bootstrap_tweaks.html which can be found here. This ensures that we can include some modifications necessary for WP installations without messing up existing Leohtian installations on WordPress or Joomla. Don't forget that you can use our template override functionality so if you decide to change this file, for example to work with a different theme, you can.

I have absolutely no idea how well this will work on other themes, so let us know by dropping into the new Jomres forums. I'm curious to know how you get on with it.
