This workshop is SOLD OUT.
A beginners guide to creating a custom theme, aimed at users who have used WordPress mostly with other people’s themes, and are ready to dive into creating their own theme from scratch. Will include the following content: principles of theming, theme essentials (styles.css, index.php), theme includes (sidebar.php, header.php, footer.php), theme settings (functions.php), assets (/css, /js, /img, /fonts), first-plugin.php (a simple plugin for changing excerpt length). A starter theme including the code provided in the slides will be provided. The rest of the workshop myself and other volunteers would help people customize their themes.
