Nettuts Premium Tutorial: WordPress, Beginner to Master

| Edit Entri
Throughout this six-part beginner-to-master series, we’ll be using the advanced features of WordPress to create our own portfolio & blog, complete with an options page, multiple styles and support for the new WordPress 2.7 features.

Overview

By the end of this series, we will have created Innovation – a premium-quality WordPress template perfect for showcasing a portfolio and hosting a blog; complete with the following features:

  • Options page for handling the advanced nature of the template, without having to edit any files manually.
  • 3 built-in colour schemes – with easy switching between them.
  • Homepage and Portfolio page templates, with a widget-ready footer and sidebar.
  • Compatibility with WordPress 2.5+.
  • Threaded & paged comments support for WordPress 2.7.
  • A custom widget for displaying your latest posts, with a preview image, on your homepage.

The plan for each day:

  1. Preparation & Admin Options page.
  2. Homepage layout. Creating a custom WordPress loop. Using widget areas. Footer.
  3. Blog posts loop. Sidebar. Single blog layout.
  4. Portfolio page. Seperating ‘single’ pages dependant on category. Single portfolio page. Page.
  5. Comments layout. Archives. Search.
  6. Face lift – the ‘RedSpace’ alternative colour scheme. Creating a custom widget.

What previous experience do I need?
Experience with xHTML & CSS is a must (as I won’t go over much of this code in detail).
It would also be very useful to have some basic understanding of PHP (such as using variables, arrays, conditional statements and ‘foreach’ and ‘while’ loops. Check out Jeffrey’s excellent “Diving into PHP” screencast series.

Having some knowledge of WordPress (even just knowing your way around the Dashboard!) would definitely improve your experience. Check out Drew’s “WordPress for Designers” screencast series.
