Tutorials on How to Design WordPress Themes
Hey, Today i would share a Few very helpful liks that i too refer at times to clarify my Themeing questions, you could also use the below resources to learn how to theme a wordpress theme.
Below is the WordPress theme structure
- The header contains all the information that needs to be at the top — i.e. inside the <head> tag — of your XHTML web page, such as the <doctype>, <meta> tags and links to style sheets. It also includes the opening <body> tag and the visible header of your blog (which typically includes the title of your site, and may also include navigation menus, a logo bar, the description of your site, etc.).
- The content block contains the posts and pages of your blog, i.e. the “meat” of your site.
- The footer contains the information that goes at the bottom of your page, such as links to other Pages or categories on your site in a navigation menu, copyright and contact information, and other details.
Template Files Within Template Files
Most WordPress Themes include a variety of template files within other templates to generate the web pages on the site. The following template files are typical for the main template (index.php) of a WordPress site:
- header.php
- theloop.php (The Content)
- wp-comments.php
- sidebar.php
- searchform.php
- footer.php
However, this structure can be changed. For instance, you could put the search form in your header. Perhaps your design does not need a footer, so you could leave that template out entirely.
