• Hey,

    I’m just wondering if anyone knows of a good tutorial on building your own WordPress theme. Preferably video.

    I’m good at CSS & HTML, but not so strong on PHP. So I’d like to know what to include and what is ok to exclude with my theme.

    Thanks!

  • I’ve seen one here somewhere but not a video, I wouldn’t mind finding a super detailed tut myself, some of the random ones I’ve seen around assume too much and are sometimes a bit hard to follow.

    I’m really gonna start looking for a solid one, If I find it, I’ll post the hell outta it for both our sakes 🙂

    I’m in the same boat skill wise, been a Web master for a while (10+ years) but never needed to know PHP (weird I know, no one is more surprised than me), I have basic skills in it but my laziness is now coming back to bite me in the ass. I feel like an old man playing catchup….sucks

    anyway I’ll post one if I find it.

    Later

    Not too sure about videos but there are tons of tutorials out there in addition to the Codex documentation.

    How to design a WP Theme and a blank WP theme with html comments to explain the template tags (php) WP is using

    but it is a text tutorial – so you must be able to read 😉

    ( I hate video tuts)

    You don’t need PHP…

    Yeah,

    I can read. 🙂

    I just like learning visually. I realize you don’t need to know PHP to create a template, but you do need to know which PHP you need to include and where.

    I’ll have a look through the links.

    Thanks!

    Download 2-3-10 themes, dissect them and study how they were done.
    Look at all the Template_Tags – those are the php snippets you need to display anything from the database.

    Here is a visual represantation of how the template files come together in the theme system.

    Awesome thanks, folks, really appreciate it
