Description

This course is designed to take you from a complete beginner to an intermediate level in WordPress theme development.

We’ll start by exploring what WordPress themes are, covering key terminology and theory that every developer needs to know. You’ll dive into the structure and layout of theme files and directories, understand the role of each file, and learn how to customize your theme using the WordPress Customizer.

We'll also explore how to ensure compatibility with popular plugins to extend your theme’s capabilities, and how to prepare your themes for translation into other languages. By the end of this course, you’ll have a solid foundation in WordPress theme development, equipped to create visually appealing, highly functional, and versatile themes that meet the highest standards.
