WordPress Theme Development From Scratch - 5. Navigation Menus (2019)

Learn how to create menus, menu locations and drop downs in WordPress using wp_nav_menu.

In this video series, you will be learning about all of the parts of building your own WordPress theme. It is structured to help someone who doesn't know WordPress to simply understand the core concepts of WordPress and build a simple WordPress theme, or even integrate an HTML theme you've created into WordPress.

This WordPress theme development tutorial from scratch will not be the best tutorial if you are intending to create the next million dollar them on ThemeForest, however, it will teach you the core concepts and features so you can evolve into an awesome Web developer in WordPress theme development.

Paying heaps of money for the web dev course at school and your videos are much better than my tutor. I'm glad that I found your channel!

Mr. Digital, can't tell you how thankful I am for these tutorials. I was unhappy with what I was finding on wordpress themes for my art/architecture portfolio site, and one spring break later I'm super psyched about web design as a tool for my representation, all thanks to the clarity and effectiveness of your teaching. Thanks so much!

It is 1:30 in the morning and have been studying the concepts of creating a Wordpress theme from scratch. Thanks for this tutorial! It is very detailed.

I really appreciated the time spent on the styling of the menu. Thank you!
CSS is something I struggle a lot with, seeing how people I admire and who are proficient in web development also struggle with it makes me feel like it's normal.

It had a big impact, thank you!

This is by far the best wp Tutorial (and I used to watch paid ones), and sub-menu tutorial I have ever watched. Sadly I figured the sub-menu Paradoxon on my own, but after your explanation I now know what I did, and you did it better :D. I really, really enjoy your videos, because you explain everything, like the small details, which everyone else doesn’t mention. I am really glad that I have found your channel, and I am sad that you don’t have more subscribers, because you do a really great work. Thanks for that. Best regards from Germany ! Big love, and give your birds a little kiss from me on the forehead :D. <3

Edit: spelling. And keep it that way. Because of you I am sure I will be a great web developer. Who knows what he is talking about. Because of you I love programming more than before.

Hey man. Just really wanted to say a big thank you for the enthusiasm and elaboration on each video. I come from a javascript background and recently got a job working with php and Wordpress. So it has been kind of a nightmare learning the backend integration of php on Wordpress sites. Your videos have been enlightening and thorough. Definitely saved my ass a few times already. Thanks again man.

I came back just to say thank you again :) I finally managed to style the menu in my theme, all because of you! Thank you!!

Hello Mr. Digital, just wanted to mention that I did your previous **Create a WordPress Theme** tutorial a few days ago (the one video compelte course), and then I found this WP theme development playlist with all the detailed and helpful information. So far I can see how you've tweaked your explanation and how you even elaborate more on each video (and this is obvious because your first course was only one video hehe).


Long story short, great job Mr Digital! I've learned a lot. In my opinion this is the right way to teach/learn WordPress, looking under the hood, and understanding, in this case, Theme Development.


Kind regards! 😃👍🏻

I really like your approach, start from scratch to learn how really build this and not edit a base theme, very neat, thanks for your tuts :)

[RaajBhatta]

since long time iam searching for best teacher who can teach me wordpress i skip many many video in youtube finally i can not skip this video .... This is what iam searching ... you are awesome man hats off for you

Dude... I've watched some WP tutorials, especially those on theme coding... And they are NOTHING compared to what you've done. You know why? Well, to start with, you're not ashamed of showing what you've done wrong, unlike most of tutors out there. And you explain the mistakes you do on the go, which is another great thing. It's the first time I've actually gone through each clip without fast forwarding. I've been doing WP pages for a while now, but all no coding (at least when it comes to creating a theme from scratch). And what's always repelled me was shitty tutorials. Thanks, keep it up and stay healthy!

This tutorial section on menus was awesome! I never would have come up with *left: 100%* -- going to have to look into that one a bit more

[balanceiseverything]

Really loving these tutorials, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you..

[cgilston]

Great tutorials, Mr. Digital. A quick hint on how to style the current page in the menu would be very helpful. Cheers!

There are plenty of CSS lessons, but not many WordPress theme tutorials that rival this channel for quality. Keep up the good work - the channel has a bright future.
