  1. 6 Useful Tips For WordPress Theme Development!

  2. You can begin Wordpress theme development by creating simple themes and then add useful features to give it a premium one, Following are the 6 Useful Tips For WordPress Theme Development:

  3. Apply Child Themes:

  4. Apply Child Themes: Child themes are the best because they inherit all the template files of the Parent Theme except for style.css and functions.php that outperforms the original. According to the latest WordPress Version 2.7 it will now be possible to overwrite all the template files by your own, making the updation of your blog and customization very easy and quick.

  5. Place an Editor Style:

  6. Place an Editor Style. With over 1,600 themes in the WordPress.org directory, only 200 have an Editor Style. So is there any use of the Visual Editor? It’s very easy to add an editor style to your theme. All you have to do is call add_editor_style during your theme setup in functions.php, and add an editor-style.css file to your respective theme. You don’t have to write the whole CSS from the beginning.

  7. No Need To Write Any XHTML:

  8. No Need To Write Any XHTML. If your have used a child theme, you don’t have to create a XHTML. Thematic was built keeping this in mind. If you don’t write XHTML, CSS will be sufficient. This ultimately, helps in shortening the development of a blog theme. But if you require a custom HTML in your theme, Thematic helps in making it easy for you with clear declarations!

  9. Set A Home Button On Your Menu:

  10. Set A Home Button On Your Menu: Simply add a home button or a link on your logo. Otherwise, your readers will be utterly confused and irritated, because the only way by which they can get back to your homepage is the back button (useless you go from one post to another). To do this you need to write only the HTML and PHP code. This means 10 lines of code + HTML inside the “functions.php” file.

  11. Git-For Making Things Easy:

  12. Git-For Making Things Easy! Git is a widely distributed version-control system which is quite popular among developers around the globe. The amazing thing about Git is that you can easily create a branch, make changes within that branch and then test those changes without actually having any affect on the master version. Git gives you power to leave nicely annotated pebbles along your development path. If you see something interesting and go off track, but if for some reason you feel like any change is needed, you can always go back to where you started!

  13. Decide What Goes On The Top Right Side!

  14. Decide What Goes On The Top Right Side! The Theme Developers, create a widget area in the top right of the header. Most of the time there seems to be a search bar there, any social icons, or any other boring thing. Sometimes a phone number is added, or a cool graphic. You should allow the user to have control over that particular area! For more information, please visit: https://www.talentsfromindia.com/wordpress-theme-development.htm
