WordPress Theme Development Live Session + Q&A

:: Support Me ::

Do you want to take a look at my development process on creating a WordPress theme? Do you want to ask me questions about my series of tutorials WordPress 101? Do you want to ask me how many times per day I go to the bathroom?

NOW YOU CAN!!!

Join me in this little experiment, keep it classy and let's talk code.

Learn how to build a Theme from scratch, create the folder and the necessary files to install and activate a custom theme.

This tutorials are meant to be a starter help for developers who never used WordPress before and want to learn how to code themes and plugins without using pre-coded assets.

It was an interesting experiment, thank you everyone for participating and asking questions.
In this session I cleaned a bit the code of the WP101 series and answered a bunch of WordPress related questions.

Take a look and I hope to see more people next time!

Watching this Videos in 2018 and I must say hats off to your sincere efforts Alessandro.
Grateful to have guys like you around!
By the way as a newbie whenever I hear this sentence from you I feel motivated.

Anyone who is trying to integrate the menu with bootstrap and can't add the bootstrap class to the <ul>, try this:<?php
wp_nav_menu(array(
'theme_location' => 'primary',
'menu_class' => 'navbar-nav mr-auto', // in video is "nav navbar-nav navbar-right "
'menu' => 'navbarSupportedContent' // this is the id of the parent div (in video is
));?>

The class and id in my example is different to the one in this video due to current version of bootstrap.

My second time through your live development tutorial. I'm happy you decided to make these tutorials. Great things are coming your way.

Great set of tutorials, for some reason I have never been able to grasp the wordpress customisation aspect, what I have learned is invaluable. Thank you for sharing the information and you have a real talent for teaching.

Nice Q&A and tutorial, still applicable in 2022 theme development.
I managed to do the same setup like you did. 😊

[MarkM]

Really helpfull! im following your tutorials to get to the basics of wordpress again. Your tutorials are really refreshing!

[eljay]

I wish you made a little WP101 excerpt of this so i didn't have to rewatch this entire video to get a hang off the development part. In my opinion this ruined the flow of your WP101 course (there is a gap between 7 & 8 for which you have to watch this video)

Other then that great that you're doing this

Just discovered your channel, I'm really happy I did! I've just started digging into WP theme development, and just by watching a couple of your vids I've learned a ton. Thank you so much!

Hi Alessandro, thanks for all your tutorials and clear explanation. Just trying my luck to ask here, do you have any video talking about bootstrap 4 since the version of bootstrap you’re using in the video is older one? Thanks ✨

[solitaryinkling]

This whole series has been very helpful. Thank you!

[manimarangopinath]

Hey man your are great. I'm just start to watch your WP-101 tutorial. Its really superb simple to grasp how the wp work.

[vamal]

Hi! I like your presentations. You have a good English among many other youtube speakers. This is very important for non-english listeners. Thank you!

[sarichchantree]

I've been following your WP tutorial for a while and it's very impressive! Although I learned how to make a wordpress site with pre-made theme, but I never build it from scratch. I think I even learned more from you than at school so thanks a bunch! *Subbed

[juliehuetdefroberville]

I think you are crazy (not alone in your head) but such an awesome teacher ! Thank's very much !

[carlosesierra]

Another great and also entertaining way to learn wordpress! thanks mate! I'll do my best to be around next time!

[chenzhaowudics]

very useful for me to learn wp theme development, thank you a lot.

[rolandherenow]

Thank you, Alessandro. I found many useful pieces of advice and information in this live tutorial. Much appreciated. You are changing the world…one person at a time. Well, two or three in this case. :)

[brambakker]

I enjoy the 101 series of your tutorials, but you lost me completely on this live session; this is no longer for beginners. No explanation at 28:30 where you copy off-screen some kind of bootstrap navigation bar. Where do I find this?
Otherwise: great teaching!!
