In this chapter, you’ll build a theme from scratch
and learn more about the various template files.
Those files include the style sheet and the fairly
extensive functions.php file, so you can learn how
to work with all those elements you encountered
in the previous chapters.IF YOU WANT to do more advanced stuff with
WordPress, you need to understand theme
essentials. You could just start hacking the default
theme or download any other quality theme and
go from there, but there are some things that
might not be obvious from just using and
tinkering with the code if you’re new to Word-
Press. This chapter helps you dive into the
WordPress theme concept to get acquainted with
themes and how they work. You’ll learn how to
alter them to fit your needs. After doing that,
you’ll be able to put your knowledge to good use
in the coming chapters.WORDPRESS
