In the course WordPress theme development participants learn to develop different types of websites with custom themes.
The WordPress theme determines, as you may know, the look and feel of a WordPress website. During the course attention is first paid to the alternative possibilities that exist, when a website only needs to be partially changed.
To this end the student is introduced to the CSS formatting options within the so-called Customizer and with so-called child themes. With child themes you keep your current theme, but you adjust the layout or functionality to your liking. Then we will start with the general structure of a WordPress theme.
Various WordPress PHP functions are discussed. For example, you can think of functions to actually display entered data from your page, which is in the WordPress database, on the website page.
During the course you will meet various so-called loops that collect certain data from one or more pages or messages and then display them on the desired page.
Special messages, the so-called custom post types, are also available. This way you can add custom portfolios, reviews and the like to your website.
Then custom fields are treated. These fields allow the content of a message or page to be expanded. This data can also be displayed in a desired layout.
Finally we will consider adding functions to the customizer yourself. This way you can completely customize the layout and layout of a WordPress website.
The course WordPress Theme Development is aimed at anyone who wants to learn how to develop a WordPress theme, in order to influence the design. The course is particularly suitable for designers who want to specialize in WordPress web design.
