Zero to Block Theme Series #4: Templates and Template Parts
Welcome to the fourth session of Zero to Block Theme: Foundations
What this series is about:
Have you ever wondered how themes are developed?
Or, have you ever ventured into the backend of your WordPress website and wondered just what, exactly, you were looking at?
Finally, have you ever wanted to learn the very basics of WordPress block theme development?
If so, this intermediate learn-up series is for you!
1st Week
Last week’s session covered setting up your first local installation of WordPress, finding your way into WordPress’ actual core files, creating a child theme, and changing a color using theme.json.
2nd Week
Now that you’re able to find all the files that make up a WordPress theme, we’ll discuss at a high level the primary parts of a block theme, including index.php, style.css, functions.php, parts, templates, and, most excitingly, theme.json.
3rd Week
This week continued our exploration of theme.json, specifically its 'Styles' section and how they are influenced by/related to the 'Settings' section.
This fourth session will explore Templates and Template Parts from a developer's perspective.
