sorry if this is stupid question, but I am trying to setup Bedrock boilerplate for WordPress themes development. I have installed Bedrock successfully and I am also able to login to my dashboard. I have also setup connection to my database.
As long as I am aware, all new themes created should be served from /web/app/themes folder in the boilerplate.
However, if I create new folder with files for new theme (e.g. /web/app/themes/new_theme), this theme is not available from the Wordpress dashboard/appearance.
I am using XAMPP, phpMYADMIN as my local dev environment.
What am I doing wrong?
Well, you need to create a style.css file and add the theme header to it. Otherwise WordPress will not recognize it as a theme. So for a basic theme you must need to create a style.css file.

Hope that helps.
