Do You _stand Themes?

Starter Themes

• Not a parent theme.

• Not a theme framework.

• Foundation of a new theme.

Why Underscores

• Just the right amount.

• Experience from five default themes.

• Experience from creating themes for millions of users on WordPress.com.

• Does everything the WordPress way.

Why Underscores

• Semi-standard for WordPress.org Theme Repository.

• Best feature is its lack of features! No tearing down necessary.

• Readable code with good documentation.

• Very active community.

Hooking Up with WordPressGetting Started with Actions and Filters

WordPress Actions and Filters

Allow you to modify or add functionality

by calling functions at specific times.

WordPress Actions and Filters

Filters call functions that take some kind of input,

modify it, and return it.

function my_plugin_custom_content( $content ) { $search = 'Michael Cain'; $replace = 'Michael "The Great" Cain'; $content = preg_replace( $search, $replace, $content );! return $content;}add_filter( 'the_content', 'my_plugin_custom_content' );

WordPress Actions

Actions call functions and

don’t care about their returned value.

A filter without arguments or a returned value.

function my_theme_google_font() { wp_enqueue_style( 'my-theme-montserrat', '//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat', array(), null );}add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_google_font' );
