# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
En tant qu'utilisateur, développeur et formateur, j'ai toujours apprécié l'évolution de WordPress. De version en version, le CMS est de plus en plus accessible et s'ouvre toujours davantage au plus grand nombre. Une personne qui ne sait pas coder, qui n'a pas beaucoup de sous et pas vraiment de notions de design pourra, en investissant un peu de temps, réaliser un site tout à fait convenable et convaincant. Pour ajouter encore du confort aux concepteur.se.s WordPress, en décembre 2018, est sorti le nouvel éditeur, qui permet à l'aide de blocs, de composer une page.

Dans le même temps, les standards du design ont changé avec l'utilisation du material design: on pense plus facilement les contenus autour de l'horizontalité, on superpose les éléments, on crée des grilles, on utilise beaucoup d'images et on laisse facilement des espaces vides. On crée des rythmes visuels entre les différents éléments. Surtout, on pense de plus en plus à la personne qui va aller sur le site, on va à l'essentiel, on ne surcharge pas les pages. Une réflexion sous-jacente accompagne la conception d'un site et on dispose l'information de manière pertinente et harmonieuse. Et bien sûr les interfaces sont pensées pour les différentes tailles d'écran et les différentes manières de naviguer sur un site web.

L'arrivée du nouvel éditeur et ces nouvelles tendances marquent un tournant. À son arrivée le nouvel éditeur portait le nom de Gutenberg. Un patronyme annonciateur d' une nouvelle ère dans l'édition de contenu dans WordPress; on ira plus vite et les contenus sont réutilisables comme si le monde d'avant du manuscrit avec WYSIWYG était révolu.

Dorénavant, la page blanche ne fait plus peur. Au contraire, elle est une potentialité. D'un bloc à l'autre, on dispose des éléments parfois sur toute une largeur de page, on choisit les espacements, on peut mettre des arrière-plans en couleur et on met des titres sur des bannières avec une facilité déconcertante et sans utiliser la moindre extension du WordPress de base.

Thème Neve

Neve est un thème créé dans cet esprit. Il suit l'arrivée de Gutenberg. Le thème est sorti en avril 2019. Le titre de l'article de T hemeisle pour annoncer la sortie du thème annonce ce programme:

The Lightweight Theme Built for Speed in the Gutenberg Era.

Un thème léger, rapide, adapté pour l'ère Gutenberg.
Neve est un thème parfait pour les débutant.e.s. À l'aide de l'éditeur de WordPress, et quelques réglages du thème, vous pouvez facilement personnaliser le thème, lui donner votre image et ce sans écrire une seule ligne de codes.

J'avais déjà parlé de ce thème dans un autre article autour de la découverte de blocs additionnels.

Ce thème a beaucoup d'avantage et il très centré sur la facilité et le confort utilisateur.trice

Neve est gratuit. Il y a des options payantes mais avec la version de base, vous pouvez déjà aller très loin.

Il est Gutenberg friendly

Il est parfaitement adapté pour accueillir l'extension Woocommerce

Il est très léger et rapide.

Il propose des mise en pages clés en main

Il comporte un constructeur pour l'En-tête et le Pied de Page.

On va voir tout ça en détails.

On verra tout ce qu'on peut faire dans la version gratuite et de temps en temps, nous verrons ce que propose les versions payantes.

La personnalisation

On va commencer par voir que ce thème, comme OceanWP ou Astia, a beaucoup de possibilités de personnalisation.

Mise en page

Contenu

Ici on peut changer au pixel près la largeur du contenu de nos pages. Et pour la page de blog ou d'archive ainsi que l'affichage d'un article, on peut décider si c'est le conteneur qui s'applique ou alors on occupe toute la largeur de la page. On peut faire de même pour toutes les autres pages en sélectionnant le menu déroulant pour "Style de conteneur par défaut".

De plus, on peut nuancer la largeur en fonction du device (smartphone ou tablette).

Si on sélectionne tablette ou smartphone, on peut régler la largeur de manière différente pour chaque device:

Contenu / Barre

Dans cette section, on peut décider de supprimer la barre, et le pourcentage qu'occupe le contenu de la page en fonction de la largeur totale.

Si vous sélectionnez "Activer les options avancées", vous pouvez personnaliser l'affichage de la barre et le pourcentage du contenu de manière différente pour la page de blog, une page article et pour les autres pages.

Page Blog / Archive

Avec Neve, on peut changer facilement l'affichage de la liste des articles sur la page blog. On peut afficher en colonnes ou en grilles, on peut choisir la longueur des extraits, on peut changer la pagination, mettre des ombres sur l'image à la une. De plus, on peut modifier l'apparence des métadonnées (auteur de l'article, date, commentaires et catégorie).

Ainsi en quelques cliques, on peut afficher nos articles comme ceci:

ou comme ceci:

Blog booster

Blog Booster est un module de la version payante.
Pour la page Blog / Archive, nous pouvons:

Changer l'ordre d'affichage des articles, des plus anciens aux plus récents par exemple, ou alors afficher en priorité les articles mis à jour

Choisir le séparateur des métadonnées de chaque article

Changer la taille pour l'affichage de l'avatar

Modifier l'affichage du 'Lire la suite'

et pour un article simple, nous pouvons:

Afficher des boutons de partage

Ajouter la notice biographique de l'auteur

Afficher des articles associés

Un lien vers la documentation
En-tête

Pour l'En-tête, il existe un constructeur qui permet d'ajouter et déplacer des éléments très facilement en glissant déposant. Des éléments peuvent être ajoutés en cliquant sur les boutons "+" qui apparaissent au survol.

Ce constructeur se trouve en bas de la zone de visualisation divisé en trois rang.

Le rang médian correspond à notre à notre En-tête principal. Le rang du haut est consacré à ce qui pourrait être affiché en dessus de l'En-tête et le troisième correspond à ce qui pourrait être affiché en dessous.

Ici par exemple, je décide d'intégrer un icône 'recherche' à la suite de mon menu principal.

pour obtenir ceci:

en cliquant sur les différents éléments, nous ouvrons dans la barre de gauche un tableau de bord qui permet de faire différents réglages. Si je sélectionne par exemple Logo et identité du site, je peux aller changer plusieurs paramètres en ce qui concerne l'affichage du logo, du titre du site et du slogan.

Trois niveaux de réglages sont affichés:

Dans l'onglet Général, on peut changer la disposition du logo par rapport au titre et au slogan.

Ici par exemple, je décide de n'afficher que le logo

et on peut notamment changer la taille du logo très facilement ici:

Dans la section 'Mise en page' on peut définir la justification du texte, les marges intérieurs ( paddings) et les marges.

et dans la partie 'Style' on peut choisir la couleur pour le titre et le slogan.

On peut ainsi modifier tous les éléments qui composent l'En-tête.

Par exemple, dans la section 'Style' du menu on peut choisir les couleurs des items, y compris au survol, y compris pour l'élément actif.

De plus, on peut choisir le le mode de coloris au survol:

un changement de couleur

un encadrement

un soulignage

un surlignage

Ici par exemple, je choisis un soulignage au survol des items du menu.

Dans cette section 'Style', on peut également modifier la typographie pour les éléments du menu. On verra cette partie-là plus loin quand il sera question de la section Typographie de la personnalisation.

Paramètres généraux de l'En-tête

Quand on survol un rang du constructeur de l'En-tête, une route dentée apparaît

En cliquant sur celle-ci, nous faisons apparaître le tableau de bord pour les paramètres principaux de l'En-tête.

Dans la section Mise en page, on peut choisir que l'En-tête occupe:

la largeur du contenu défini dans la section 'Mise en page' de la personnalisation

toute la largeur de la page

un contenu à l'intérieur du contenu défini dans la section 'Mise en page' de la personnalisation

Dans la partie Style, on peut choisir la hauteur en px de l'En-tête, choisir le mode clair ou foncé et définir l'arrière-plan (couleur ou image)

Ainsi en quelques cliques, on obtient un En-tête personnalisé.

Il suffit d'ajouter l'extension Sticky Menu (or Anything!) on Scroll pour avoir un menu qui reste collé en haut de la page quelque soit le niveau du scroll.

Vous allez dans les réglages de l'application.

Vous ajoutez l'En-tête ici:

Et le tour est joué ! Vous avez un En-tête personnalisé et qui reste visible même quand on scroll dans la page.

Header Booster

Header Booster est un module de la version payante.
Header Booster comporte notamment:

Un affichage des En-têtes différents en fonction du contenu à afficher. Par exemple, on peut créer un En-tête différent pour l'affichage des pages et des articles.

Un composant pour afficher les liens sociaux

Un composant 'contact' qui permet d'afficher le mail, le téléphone et l'adresse postale avec des pictogrammes.

Une modification de l'apparence de l'En-tête en fonction du scroll

Un En-tête collant (sticky)

Un lien vers la documentation
Le Pied de page

Pour la conception du Pied de page c'est la même chose. Un constructeur permet de disposer des zones de Widgets de la même manière que l'En-tête. Nous avons deux rang: haut du pied de page et bas du pied de page. Par défaut, il y a la fameuse mention: Propulsé par WordPress

Pour les Widgets, rien de nouveau et pour celles et ceux qui ne connaissent pas, je vous laisse lire ce tutoriel

Ici l'avantage avec Neve c'est que tu peux changer l'emplacement des différentes zones de Widgets très facilement. Tu sélectionnes une zone d'emplacement

et tu choisis une zone de Widgets, de la même qu'on attribue des zones dans l'administration des Widgets ordinaires. Si je sélectionne 'Pied un' par exemple, un tableau de bord spécifique s'ouvre dans la barre.

Ainsi, on peut ajouter le Widget désiré directement avec le bouton "Ajouter un Widget"

En disposant les zones de Widgets sur le constructeur du pied de page, en sélectionnant les largeurs qu'occupe chaque Widget, et choisissant la bonne justification, nous pouvons arriver à un Pied de Page personnalisé et opérationnel.

Pour avoir un texte blanc, vous devez sélectionner la roue dentée pour 'Haut du Pied de Page' ou 'Bas du Pied de Page', et dans 'Style' sélectionnez le mode 'DARK'

Typographie

Le thème Neve propose un large éventail de personnalisation au niveau des typographies.

Les réglages sont divisés en deux parties:

Dans l'onglet 'Général' on peut définir la 'Font', la graisse, la taille, la hauteur des lignes et l'espacement.

De même pour tous les niveaux de titres.

Boutons

Dans cette partie-là, nous pouvons personnaliser les boutons qui concernent la partie Woocommerce dans l'onglet 'Primaire' et les boutons d'ajouts de commentaires dans l'onglet 'Secondaire'.

Il existe beaucoup de réglages différents pour les boutons. On peut choisir un arrière-plan avec une couleur de fond ou un contour d'une certaine couleur et largeur. Nous pouvons choisir la couleur de fond ainsi que le texte, également pour le hover. Nous pouvons changer les marges intérieures.

Nous pouvons obtenir un bouton de ce type:

Il suffit de choisir 'Outline', augmenter le Radius, augmenter la largeur, mettre un fond blanc et mettre le texte en bleu.

Et encore

Dans les versions payantes de Neve, il existe beaucoup d'autres modules pour approfondir encore plus la personnalisation.

Custom Layouts Module

Ce module permet d'aller très loin dans la personnalisation des différentes pages de notre site. Ce module permet de composer différentes personnalisations de pages et de les afficher à travers des logiques conditionnelles.
Lien vers la documentation
On peut aller très loin dans la composition du contenu des pages: un éditeur de code existe pour notamment ajouter des hooks ou des filtres.

Scroll to top Module

On peut mettre en place une flèche en bas de la page qui permet de revenir en haut à n'importe quel moment.
Lien vers la documentation
Ce module permet de choisir la taille, les couleurs, l'emplacement etc.

White Label Module
Lien vers la documentation
Ce module permet de mettre votre nom ou le nom de l'agence sur le thème dans l'administration comme si c'était votre propre création.

Woocommerce Booster

On peut changer la pagination et un bouton permet au client de choisir des modes d'affichage selon son confort

Pour la liste des produits, on peut changer l'emplacement des boutons, on peut mettre des ombres, on peut choisir quels éléments afficher et comment les afficher

Pour chaque produit, on peut changer l'affichage de la galerie d'images, et enlever ou afficher les produits associés et la navigation d'un produit à l'autre. Pour chaque produit, on peut choisir de mettre une vidéo comme image principale.

On peut changer l'affichage pour la page de paiement et la page pour l'affichage du panier.

Un lien vers la documentation
Ce module permet d'aller très loin dans la personnalisation de votre boutique.

Sites de démarrage

En deuxième partie de ce tutoriel, nous allons installer un site de démarrage prêt à l'emploi, pour étudier la puissance de Neve, couplé avec Gutenberg par exemple.

Sur la page d'accueil du tableau de bord, il suffit de cliquer sur ce bouton:

Nous arrivons sur une page qui liste une libraire de différentes démos.

Vous avez juste besoin de choisir votre préférée, et nous allons prendre soin de tout le reste.

Effectivement, vous allez voir en installant l'une des démos, que tous les paquets s'installent en un clique: du contenu, des extension et les blocs nécessaires.
Nous allons voir que l'éditeur par défaut de WordPress, nommé ici Gutenberg, en alliance avec Neve, peut devenir un constructeur de page extrêmement puissant.
La bibliothèque propose les sites de démarrage à partir de différents constructeurs de page:

C'était justement le sujet d'un article précédent que j'avais publié sur WP Formation.

Dans le même principe, nous allons voir comment les concepteurs de Neve construisent des pages en alliant Neve et Gutenberg.

Importation d'un site de démarrage

Pour importer la démo, il suffit de cliquer sur le bouton import. Pour l'exemple, nous allons installer la démo 'Original'

N'hésitez pas appuyer sur le bouton Preview pour voir un aperçu de ce que vous propose ce site de démarrage.

Une fenêtre modale s'affiche avec les différents éléments que la démo a l'intention d'importer dans votre site WordPress.

Pour la plupart des éléments importés, on peut choisir d'autoriser l'importation ou pas. Pour l'exemple, on va tout importer.

Créer une page error 404

Intégrer Google Analytics

Créer des boutons de partages sur les réseaux sociaux

Ajouter des icônes pour le menu

Des blocs pour Gutenberg

est une grosse extension de Themeisle qui permet de:

Et l'extension vient avec une bibliothèque de templates

Vous pouvez visiter le site ici

WPforms est une extension qui permet de faire facilement des formulaire en glisser déposer. Le site de wpforms

Gutenberg Blocks and Template Library by Otter est une bibliothèque de différents blocs crée par Themeisle. Voir la page de l'extension

Blocks Animation permet d'ajouter des animations en fonction du scroll sur les différents blocs de Gutenberg. Voir la page de l'extension

Une fois l'importation effectuée, on peut choisir d'ajouter notre contenu.

Construction d'une page d'accueil avec Neve et Gutenberg

Nous atterrissons sur la page d'accueil 'HOME'. Nous allons voir comment elle est construite pas à pas.

Pour les réglages de la page, nous voyons que le conteneur occupe la pleine largeur, aucune barre, et on a désactivé le titre.

Il est important de désactiver le titre, car nous allons écrire le titre directement dans la composition de notre page.

En cliquant sur le fil d'Arianne des blocs Gutenberg, on peut voir qu'on a divisé la page avec le bloc 'Sections' de Otter

Bloc section

Ce bloc permet de définir des colonnes pour chaque section, et l'espace entre ces colonnes.

et dans la partie 'Style', on peut définir l'arrière-plan. Ici j'ai une image en lien avec ma thématique.

Section column

En cliquant sur le fil d'Arianne des blocs, on voit que le bloc 'Section' a un sous-bloc 'Section Column', ça permet de faire des réglages différents pour chaque colonne et notamment la largeur des colonnes.

Par exemple, pour construire la partie Team, il suffit de subdiviser le bloc Section en 4 colonnes.

et ici par exemple, nous avons un espace entre les colonnes de 15px.

et pour chaque colonne, nous pouvons éditer notamment la largeur des colonnes et le padding.

Advanced Heading

Grâce à un bloc de Otter très pratique Advanced Heading, nous allons pouvoir mettre le titre principal pour cette page, en définissant une balise H1. Ce titre est personnalisable: on peut changer la taille, changer la couleur, mettre des majuscules etc.

Si vous voulez en savoir + sur les titres dans les pages web, un excellent tutoriel

Bloc Posts

Pour la partie blog de cette page d'accueil, il existe un bloc nommé Posts. Il permet de définir les colonnes, le nombre d'articles, et les éléments affichés pour chaque article (métadonnées, images et extraits).

Et encore...

Si on résume ici: pour la composition d'une page avec Neve et les blocs by Otter, c'est une succession de blocs 'Section' pour lesquels on définit des colonnes. Dans chaque colonnes, on peut ajouter un bloc de notre choix tout en distillant des titres de différents niveaux: H1, H2, H3, H4, H5 et H6.

Conclusion

Voilà j'arrive au terme de ce tour d'horizon du thème Neve, de quelques-unes de ces possibilités. Vous voyez qu' en alliant un thème extrêmement personnalisable et l'éditeur par défaut Gutenberg, nous avons un outil très puissant pour créer un site web avec WordPress sans forcément mettre les mains dans le code ou en utilisant de nombreuses extensions.

Vous pouvez créer votre En-tête et votre Pied de Page avec la personnalisation et ensuite laissez vous inspirer par les sites de démarrage pour créer le contenu de vos pages.

Et pour ajouter encore des potentialités, il y a la possibilité d'ajouter les options payantes du thème Neve.
Bonne création avec Neve et WordPress !
Pour celles et ceux qui travaillent régulièrement avec Neve, n'hésitez pas à laisser des remarques, des avis ou des questions dans les commentaires.

< Back to Chapter 4 - Modifying WordPress Themes Code, and some basics of slanging HTML and CSS within a WordPress Theme WordPress Development for Noobs is a fun and exciting course that you can take online through these articles in order to learn how to build your own WordPress sites. I create value every day as a WordPress developer in Minneapolis, and I think WordPress is a perfect web design solution for small- to medium-sized clients who need a website, or larger clients whose websites are built around pushing out a lot of content or articles. (Every company should now be positioning themselves as a media company as Content Marketing has blown up, and most need some of it to thrive online.) This article will go over the first steps of creating your first WordPress theme from scratch.
What you will learn in this article:

Can't I just use a theme? What are the benefits of creating a WordPress site from scratch?Skip to It Daddy-O

What are some basic "naked" theme frameworks I can use to start off right in WordPress Development?Get to It, Sugar

Here's how you get started writing your theme from scratch, and the main things you'll need to have in place for it to workCome on and Give It to Me

Can't I just use a theme? What are the benefits of creating a WordPress site from scratch?
One of the biggest problems with just using a theme is that you think of the problem in terms of what the theme lets you do instead of what's best for the client or the website, or what's best to help the visitors do what they want or you want them to do. By creating a site from scratch around a visual design that's intended to serve the client and their customer's needs rather than fit a pre-built template, you're setting your services up as a custom high-value solution rather than a run-of-the-mill commodity.
I started making websites for clients by modifying themes. I tried not to be hemmed in by the theme, but in the end, if there's a theme option that's 80% as good as what I had intended, I'd use it, because hey, who wouldn't? The idea of creating a theme from scratch to match the visual design that you made where you didn't even have a theme in mind means that you can design with the client and their customer in mind instead of designing from some one-size-fits-all template.
_TK is a solid naked theme based on bootstrap (a CSS framework for responsive design structure) and Underscores (the maker's of WordPress' naked theme with the PHP loops set up) to get get started on.
If all you do is implement content and a couple tweaks within something that already existed, you may not be able to share your hard work as the custom high-end solution that you are trying to sell your work as. I find developing from scratch (I usually use a responsive naked framework as a starting point) reminds me to relentlessly seek the best solution, not the easiest.

What are some basic "naked" theme frameworks I can use to start off right in WordPress Development?

With Bootstrap 's out-of-the-gate responsive design features, mobile menu, and many bits and pieces of functionality like dropdowns, show/hides, and some basic styles built in, you have a tool that gets projects up off the ground quickly but doesn't impose too intense of initial style on your project.

With _Underscores pleasant start-up kit of your basic PHP loops you can get into theming without having all this stuff memorized or consulting WordPress documentation for every tiny thing.
An example of a CSS file for WordPress, which will define the theme: With a new theme, the key things to have in place first is a Style.css file with the name of the theme up at the top, a page.php, header.php, and footer.php files with proper PHP loops. Here is some code that you might use as a very basic header:
Combine them together and you have _tk. I have been on a project using this framework and it did its job beautifully. WordPress developers would do well to become acquainted with this base theme for the obvious reasons. It has a quick start time on projects and, of course, the loose restrictions that a very basic theme will give you. Of course by knowing this, it's important to note you will have to write a good amount of CSS overlaying on what bootstrap's styles are. It would be a very boring site indeed that used out-of-the-box styles without modification to create a compelling design. Get the _tk Starter Theme Here.
Here is some code that you might use as a very basic footer:
This is, in the end, why someone would want to use a tool like this. The very basic styling that comes with Bootstrap is intended to be helpful without being obtrusive, and enables developers and designers to bring their own flare to the table and adjust things without being overly designed to begin with.

Here's how you get started writing your theme from scratch, and the main things you'll need to have in place for it to work
Thanks for reading 'WordPress Development for Noobs: When to Use Theme Options and when to code!' If you found this useful, please tweet this so others can check it out, too.
In chapter two, I showed you how to do this for a child theme, but the header of your CSS file for the parent theme should look like this, and if the file has to be named 'style.css' and be in the root folder of the theme.
Next Tutorial: Working with responsive design in a WordPress Theme
 /* Theme Name: Theme Name Theme URI: https://www.timbdesign.com/theme-page Description: The theme for "Theme Name" Author: Tim B Design Author URI: https://www.timbdesign.com Template: theme_name Version: 1.0.0 */ /* ----------All your styles can be below here ----------------- */

It first defines the doctype, displays the title for browsers to read using a WordPress PHP loop, and gets the favicon for the site if you have it dropped in the theme folder. The "body class" is applied to the tag so that page templates and ID's are automatically added for easy targeting with CSS classes. Clearly a basic header structure is included here, and the menu is called, so that whatever menu you are referring to in the WordPress admin as the "primary" will show up in the admin bar. Of course, if you are working in a blank theme, none of this will be styled yet, but it will just be raw elements that you can get ready to shape once we have the bones in place.

 /** * The Header for our theme. * * Displays all of the <head> section, header and top navigation areas * * @package theme_name * */ ?><!DOCTYPE html> <html <?php language_attributes(); ?>> <head> <meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>" /> <title><?php wp_title(); ?></title> <link rel="profile" href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11" /> <link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo( 'pingback_url' ); ?>" /> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/favicon.ico" /> <?php wp_head(); ?> </head> <body <?php body_class(); ?>> <div id="wrap"> <header id="branding"> <div id="logo"><a href="<?php echo home_url() ?>/"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a></div> <div id="tagline"><?php bloginfo( 'description' ); ?></div> </header> <nav id="top-nav"> <?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu-header', 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) ); ?> </nav>

Included is a simple footer with the current year, a copyright, and the end tags for the page. The <?php wp_footer(); ?> is needed to recognize this file as the footer and is used as well to call in files like some JavaScript files and so on when we add those via the functions.php file.

<?php /** * The template for displaying the footer. * * @package theme_name */ ?> <footer> <p>&copy; <?php echo date( 'Y' ); ?> <?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></p> </footer> </div><!-- end of wrapper --> <?php wp_footer(); ?> </body> </html>

Of course, if you've downloaded one of the starter themes above you'll already have these things in place, plus some divs and structure that will be used for quickly shaping the responsive aspects of the site. In the next chapter, I will share how to get some basic responsive structure in place if you are working from complete scratch, and how to start manipulating the design if you are using a responsive framework, like one of those above.

I enjoy creating some of the best web design on WordPress in Minneapolis and sharing the things I learn. I do it because I know it's something people need and I like being of use. If I can help you with WordPress design and development, let me know, that is my specialty.

L'an dernier, ici-même, je vous présentais Divi comme le " thème WordPress ultime ".

Depuis, de l'eau a coulé sous les ponts et surtout, j'ai comparé les 10 thèmes les plus populaires de ThemeForest en 2016.

Alors qu'en est-il aujourd'hui ?

Eh bien si vous avez suivi la série de l'été, vous devez vous douter de ma réponse : pour rien au monde je ne quitterais Divi. Plus le temps passe et plus il devient puissant grâce au Divi Builder.

C'est pourquoi je mets à jour cet article pour vous faire part des dernières nouveautés et pour ceux qui le liraient pour la première fois, je vous présente le seul thème que j'utilise dorénavant.

Nous verrons dans cet article :
Et avant de commencer, je tiens à vous préciser que cet article contient des liens d'affiliation. C'est à dire que la Marmite touchera une petite commission si vous achetez une licence Elegant Themes en passant par nos liens.
Cependant cela n'influe pas sur mon jugement : si Divi n'était pas aussi bon, je ne vous le conseillerais pas et je ne l'utiliserais pas !
Prêt pour une longue lecture ?

Qu'est-ce que Divi ?

Est-ce un thème premium ? Un framework ? Un page-builder ?

En fait c'est simple : c'est un thème premium qui embarque un constructeur de pages, le Divi Builder. Mais ce n'est pas le seul ainsi : Avada, Enfold et X boxent dans la même catégorie.

Pour vous résumer l'histoire assez rapidement, Divi est le thème qui a marqué un tournant majeur dans le business d' Elegant Themes.

(D'ailleurs si vous voulez en apprendre plus sur les créateurs du thème, je vous invite à lire l'article qui leur est consacré.)

Si je parle de tournant majeur c'est parce que c'est le premier thème qu'ils ont proposé avec un page-builder. Les 85 thèmes précédents de la boutique n'étaient pas aussi avancés.

Alors au début le constructeur de pages n'était pas fantastique mais au fil des mises à jour il a su évoluer et il est maintenant en front-end. Mais ça, je vous en reparle plus tard !

Quoi qu'il en soit, c'est un thème qui plaît énormément aux débutants (mais pas que) et qui rencontre beaucoup de succès.

Par contre on n'a pas de statistiques de ventes aussi précises que sur ThemeForest. Il est donc compliqué de le comparer aux autres.

Mais Elegant Themes annonce sur sa page d'accueil avoir plus de 370 000 clients au moment où j'écris ces lignes. En sachant qu'un client utilise probablement Divi sur plus d'un site, on surpasse largement les statistiques d'Avada.

Donc Divi est un thème premium à succès, accompagné d'un constructeur de pages " maison ". Mais il ressemble à quoi ce thème ?

Divi vous ressemble, alors il vaut mieux que vous soyez un artiste !

En effet, avec un très grand nombre de sites utilisant Divi, on finit par le reconnaître un peu partout. Enfin presque.

Cela dépend des utilisateurs : ceux qui laissent les réglages par défaut ont des sites qui ressemblent facilement à la démo principale, notamment à cause de l'en-tête de leur site.

Mais pour tous les autres qui disposent d'une charte et de compétences de webmastering, il est très facile de s'écarter du look de base. Divi est alors méconnaissable.

On ne peut même plus deviner quel thème est utilisé !

Et d'ailleurs, l'équipe d'Elegant Themes n'hésite pas à mettre les sites de certains de leurs clients pour prouver qu'on peut innover.

Et aviez-vous remarqué que le site de WPChef tourne également sous Divi ?

Bref, on peut tout faire avec Divi !

Par contre, contrairement aux thèmes premium de ThemeForest, il est plus compliqué d'importer les démos en un clic. C'est à dire qu'Elegant Themes ne le propose pas.

Cependant il est possible de les récupérer grâce au travail effectué par Aspen Grove Studios. Le tout, en participation libre : vous pouvez donner 0$ si vous le souhaitez.

(Je laisse un indice ici et on y reviendra plus tard : Elegant Themes n'est pas étouffant et laisse beaucoup de place à la communauté Divi.)

Compatibilités, documentation et support, que vaut Divi ?

Commençons par le plus facile : Divi est compatible avec WooCommerce et WPML. Pas beaucoup plus.

En tout cas, le thème n'a pas été conçu pour écraser les styles de certaines extensions comme Contact Form 7 ou Gravity Forms par exemple. Mais là encore, la communauté entre en jeu : il existe des tutoriels ou des extensions pour parer au problème !

Ensuite, pas de Revolution Slider ou LayerSlider : le Divi Builder embarque son propre diaporama. Et si toutefois vous souhaitiez quand même utiliser une extension pour gérer les sliders, il suffira de les insérer par codes courts ( shortcodes).

Alors oui, on pourrait croire que Divi joue seul dans son coin. On est même aux antipodes de X et ses 25 extensions pas toutes utiles. Mais à aucun moment on ne se dit qu'il manque une intégration ; on n'en a tout simplement pas besoin.

Divi va aussi plus loin que d'autres thèmes en embarquant un outil d'A/B Testing dans son constructeur de pages, intitulé " Divi Leads ".

Au premier abord, c'est une bonne idée. Mais je pense qu' ils auraient mieux fait de sortir cette fonctionnalité en tant qu'extension supplémentaire.

La proportion d'utilisateurs qui va s'en servir est vraiment mince, d'autant plus avec le peu d'explications présentes dans l'interface.

Personnellement, il m'a fallu tourner 52 minutes de formation vidéo pour expliquer l'A/B Testing aux membres d' ElegantSchool (mon site dédié à Divi). C'est pour ça que je pense qu'il n'aurait pas fallu mettre cet outil entre toutes les mains.

Du côté de la documentation, elle est complète, à jour, imagée et bourrée de vidéos de prise en main. Mais en anglais, bien sûr.

Quant au support, je peux me permettre de le juger plus que d'habitude, l'ayant régulièrement sollicité.

Pour moi, il est réactif et impliqué. J'ai même vu des bugs corrigés lors d'une mise à jour, une semaine après les avoir prévenu.

Mais vous entendrez sans doute d'autres sons de cloche. Chacun son expérience. Ça dépend également des interlocuteurs.

Donc suite à mes différents échanges avec eux, je peux dire qu'ils remplissent parfaitement leur rôle !

Les options de Divi sont parmi les plus simples

Pendant tout l'été j'ai pesté contre les thèmes premium qui n'utilisent pas l'outil de personnalisation de WordPress (le customizer).

Mais vous savez pourquoi ? Tout simplement parce que j'ai pris de bonnes habitudes avec Divi !

La grande majorité des options qui concernent l'apparence du thème sont facilement manipulables et surtout on voit le résultat en direct ! Seul X a pris cette direction parmi les thèmes premium testés cet été.

Par contre, toutes les options ne sont pas situées au même endroit. Il en existe également d'autres dans ce qui s'appelait avant le ePanel.

Ici, ce sont plutôt des fonctions à activer / désactiver. On est plus sur des fonctionnalités et non sur le design du site.

On retrouve également un éditeur de rôles qui permet de restreindre l'usage du Divi Builder aux différents utilisateurs du site. Le tout, en fonction de leur rôle donc.

Un administrateur pourra ainsi s'assurer que les autres utilisateurs ne puissent pas tout casser !

Pour finir, Divi a beau se vanter d'être traduit en 32 langues, il l'est seulement de façon approximative. En tout cas le français que l'on nous sert n'est pas souvent compréhensible !

Je vais vous donner mon exemple préféré :

Heureusement FXBénard s'est attaqué au problème et propose une extension qui traduit les moindres recoins de l'interface. Ce ne sont pas de vulgaires fichiers .mo et .po qu'il faut copier-coller dans le thème, c'est un vrai plugin qui se met à jour !

Et étant donné que je lui donne un coup de main, je peux vous dire que c'est du travail de qualité !

On va même modifier le CSS pour que nos longues phrases françaises " rentrent " dans l'interface de façon harmonieuse. Et si certains termes ne sont pas traduisibles, on va les modifier en Javascript !

Si jamais vous êtes intéressé(e) par ces traductions, sachez qu'il y a une réduction dans le Divi Kit.

Le clou du spectacle : le Divi Builder

Tout l'été, vous avez pu lire le ressentiment que j'éprouve envers Visual Composer. Il est moche, peu ergonomique et on s'y perd facilement.

Eh bien si j'ai un avis aussi prononcé c'est surtout parce que j'ai mes habitudes avec le Divi Builder.

Par contre il fonctionne aujourd'hui de deux façons (tout comme VC) : dans l'administration (le back-end) et sur l'interface publique (le front-end).

La première utilisation, celle que l'on utilise depuis la sortie de Divi en décembre 2013, fonctionne donc depuis l'édition de vos contenus.

Là où il excelle c'est dans sa facilité de prise en main : on comprend très vite le principe des sections, lignes, colonnes et modules (40 au total). On peut facilement les déplacer, les dupliquer et les modifier.

Les blocs sont colorés et épais, les arrière-plans sont tantôt gris tantôt blancs...

Bref, on s'y retrouve !

Par contre la prévisualisation du contenu a toujours posé problème : soit il fallait faire des allers-retours entre le Divi Builder et l'aperçu de la page, soit utiliser la fonction de prévisualisation du constructeur de pages.

Mais ce n'était jamais en plein écran, le rendu n'était pas forcément fidèle au résultat final.

C'est pour cela que l'équipe d'Elegant Themes a travaillé pendant de nombreux mois pour faire évoluer le Divi Builder et le passer en front-end. C'est la nouveauté qu'ils ont introduit dans la version 3.0 de Divi, en septembre 2016.

Et on peut dire que le résultat est convaincant. Vous pouvez même tester le Builder Visuel en live.

Pour avoir déjà fait quelques pages entièrement comme ça, je dois vous avouer que le gain de temps est énorme.

Non seulement on peut manipuler tous les éléments avec un aperçu en direct, mais on peut aussi écrire directement dans l'interface.

Ainsi, contrairement à d'autres constructeurs de page " en front " tels que Visual Composer ou Cornerstone, on n'a pas à passer par les réglages d'un module pour en modifier le texte.

On est sur une expérience d'intégration vraiment immersive. Elegant Themes voulait créer une " interface invisible " et ils ont clairement réussi. Mais il y a un revers de médaille : les débutants n'auront aucun repère au début !

C'est pourquoi je conseille à tous les néophytes de commencer à utiliser le Divi Builder classique avant de passer en Builder Visuel.

Comme tout système, il faut d'abord prendre ses marques et développer des habitudes. Or, il est bien plus facile de comprendre la " logique Divi " en commençant par le fonctionnement historique.

Pour finir, on peut très facilement tester le responsive d'une page grâce à l'aperçu par appareils qui est inclus dans le Builder.

On pourra ainsi vérifier que tout s'affiche correctement ou même attribuer des réglages différents en fonction du support utilisé par vos internautes.

Bref, le Divi Builder est devenu un des meilleurs constructeurs de page du marché.

On peut maintenant gérer le contenu en direct et c'est un plaisir à utiliser.

En se positionnant ainsi, l'équipe d'Elegant Themes souhaite proposer des expériences similaires à celles que l'on peut connaître sous Wix notamment. Mais avec WordPress !

Enregistrez, exportez et importez des mises en page grâce à la Bibliothèque

Si vous souhaitez utiliser une certaine mise en page de façon régulière (un modèle), certaines sections, lignes ou modules à plusieurs reprises (des portions de pages) ou encore une même information partout (un élément global), vous pourrez le faire grâce à la bibliothèque.

Comme dans tout page-builder qui se respecte, vous pourrez enregistrer des éléments pour les ré-utiliser ensuite, les exporter pour vous en servir dans d'autres sites ou encore en importer créés par d'autres personnes.

En effet, les options de portabilité permettent le partage de beaucoup de choses :

Des mises en page entières ;

Des portions de page spécifiques ;

Ou encore les options du thème.

C'est ainsi que l'import de démos devient possible : en important chaque fichier d'export un par un, on peut récupérer l'intégralité des réglages et des mises en page d'un autre site.

Ainsi vous pouvez ré-utiliser certaines de vos créations sur plusieurs sites mais vous pouvez aussi vous inspirer ou utiliser des " layout kits " créés par de tierces personnes.

Là encore, la puissance de la communauté Divi permet d'avoir accès à des ressources vraiment intéressantes.

Il me reste à vous présenter les éléments globaux de la bibliothèque : ce sont des sections, des lignes ou des modules qui apparaîtront à plusieurs endroits de votre site et qui seront synchronisés.

Si par exemple vous avez toujours un encart qui revient sur plusieurs pages tel qu'un formulaire de contact, un appel à l'action, une liste d'événements à venir, vous pourrez le créer une fois et l'utiliser partout.

Quelque part, c'est comme un widget en plein coeur d'une page. Et si vous faites une modification à un endroit, elle sera synchronisée sur toutes les pages.

C'est donc génial car c'est typiquement le genre de choses qui était réservé aux personnes qui savaient personnaliser les fichiers PHP ou qui appelaient des shortcodes en plein milieu de page.

C'est maintenant à la portée de tous grâce à Divi et son constructeur de pages.

Bon, assez parlé des spécificités techniques. Je l'ai mentionné à plusieurs reprises, il est temps d'y venir : Divi a un aspect communautaire qu'on ne retrouve nulle part ailleurs.

Réalisez tous vos projets grâce à l'écosystème de Divi

Je ne sais pas si c'est arrivé de façon naturelle ou si c'est une stratégie de la part d'Elegant Themes, mais ils ont une politique de " lâcher-prise " assez intéressante.

C'est à dire qu'ils sont conscients qu'ils n'arriveront pas à développer leurs produits aussi vite que leurs clients le voudraient. Il y a souvent eu beaucoup de frustration à ce sujet.

Ainsi, des utilisateurs se sont regroupés sur des groupes Facebook pour s'entraider, des webdesigners ont proposé des thèmes enfants qui changeaient véritablement le look de Divi et des développeurs indépendants ont mis en ligne des extensions tierces ( add-ons).

S'il y a bien une forme de consécration sur le web c'est lorsque l'on devient soi-même l'objet d'un écosystème. Lorsque des personnes extérieures travaillent à enrichir un produit, c'est qu'il doit être sacrément prometteur.

C'est ce qui arrive à Divi et qui lui permet de rejoindre d'autres noms connus tels que WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, Ninja Forms ou encore Genesis.

Vous remarquerez qu'il y a beaucoup d'écosystèmes d'extensions et peu de thèmes : quelque part, Divi est en train de devenir un thème à part au sein de l'écosystème WordPress.

On a donc un écosystème dans un écosystème !

Mais qu'est-ce que cela vous apporte concrètement ?

Boostez Divi avec des thèmes enfants, des layout kits et des add-ons

Tout d'abord, vous pourriez avoir un site qui utilise Divi mais qui ne lui ressemble pas.

C'est le but des thèmes enfants ( child themes) qui vont plus loin que les démos officielles. Ils vont même utiliser les mêmes tactiques que d'autres thèmes que l'on peut trouver sur ThemeForest en créant des looks différents par secteur d'activité.

Par exemple, le thème enfant Maisons vise les agents immobiliers. Il est vendu 95$ pour un nombre illimité de sites.

Mais là où les développeurs tiers vont plus loin c'est qu' ils travaillent les intégrations avec les extensions plus intensément que ce que ferait Elegant Themes.

Toujours pour l'exemple de Maisons, Joan Donough de DiviDiva (la développeuse) a rendu le thème compatible avec Caldera Forms pour les formulaires et IMPress Listings pour la gestion des biens immobiliers.

On a donc des thèmes enfants travaillés, qui proposent un style bien à eux et qui font des efforts que ne ferait pas la maison-mère en termes d'intégration.

Ils sont le plus souvent disponibles chez des éditeurs indépendants ou sur des places de marché telles qu' Elegant Marketplace, Superfly ou encore Creative Child Themes pour n'en citer qu'une poignée.

Par contre ils coûteront entre 25$ et 175$ en plus de votre licence Elegant Themes ! Eh oui, c'est le prix à payer pour avoir un thème conçu par un webdesigner que vous pourrez utiliser en quelques clics.

Mais il existe aussi les layouts kits. Ce sont des mises en page que l'on peut importer grâce à la bibliothèque et aux options de portabilité du Divi Builder.

Donc ce n'est pas un thème enfant mais ça peut y ressembler : la seule différence c'est qu'il n'y a pas de style.css dédié. Tout le style est embarqué dans le Divi Builder.

En fait, un kit de mise en page (la francisation n'est pas géniale, je vous l'accorde) contient des fichiers .json que l'on va importer dans l'interface de Divi.

Ils vont contenir les réglages du thème et des éléments de bibliothèque tels que des pages entières ou des portions (section / lignes / modules), comme on a pu le voir précédemment.

L'autre avantage est que les images vont être importées, on aura donc un aperçu fidèle juste après l'installation.

Ils ont une différence majeure avec les thèmes enfants : ils seront gratuits.

Quelque part c'est normal, ils sont un peu moins travaillés et ne seront jamais mis à jour.

Mais au delà de l'apparence, on trouve également des add-ons qui vont ajouter de nouvelles fonctionnalités.

Le plus connu (mais pas forcément le meilleur) c'est Divi Booster, qui vient ajouter plus de 50 options à Divi. Dans le même genre, il y a aussi Divi Switch qui ajoute des modifications un peu plus intéressantes.

Mais au delà de simples ajouts de styles, d'autres extensions vont plus loin. Elles introduisent par exemple de nouveaux modules dans le Divi Builder !

Certaines permettent également de passer sur 5, 6, 7 ou même 8 colonnes, comme Divi Extended Column Layouts ! Une autre permet de masquer totalement l'utilisation de Divi de l'administration et du code source (c'est Divi Ghoster et je n'aime pas cette approche).

Vous l'aurez compris, Divi ne fait pas tout. Il a des défauts.

Mais grâce à son écosystème, il en devient sacrément plus intéressant que tous les autres thèmes !

Et nous ne sommes qu'au début de l'aventure.

Qui dit écosystème, dit communautés

Je vous le disais plus tôt, des personnes se sont regroupées dans des groupes Facebook pour échanger et s'entraider. Cela a donné lieu à des communautés assez énormes mais surtout internationales.

Je peux par exemple vous citer les groupes suivants : Divi Theme Users (bientôt 20 000 membres), Divi Help & Share (bientôt 10 000 membres) ou encore Divi Theme Examples (bientôt 9 000 membres).

Côté francophone, c'est moins développé puisqu'il n'y a que Divi Theme France (environ 150 membres) et le groupe ElegantSchool que je réserve aux stagiaires de la formation.

Mais il y a aussi de nombreux blogs qui ne parlent que de Divi ! Bien souvent ils sont adossés aux sites de places de marché ou d'éditeurs indépendants mais ils permettent d'apprendre à mieux utiliser Divi.

Je peux vous citer celui de Geno Quiroz (un expert Divi), Divi Soup (Michelle Nunan édite notamment des sites de formation autour du CSS et de Divi) et Aspen Grove Studios (une agence spécialisée dans Divi).

Mais il ne faut pas oublier le blog d'Elegant Themes qui est une vraie mine d'or. Ils partagent de plus en plus de tutoriels.

Parce que oui, la communauté de Divi aime apprendre. Ils savent qu'il faut mettre les mains dans le code à un moment.

Et c'est tout naturellement qu'ils commencent à apprendre le CSS pour réaliser des modifications majeures sur leur site.

Voilà pour ce tour d'horizon de la communauté. Vient le moment de juger Divi, notamment au vu du #BattleThemeForest et des critères que j'ai pu utiliser auparavant.

Face aux thèmes de ThemeForest, que vaut Divi ?

C'est un point que j'ai précisé dans le comparatif des meilleurs thèmes ThemeForest de 2016 : j'ai beau en avoir testé une dizaine, aucun ne remplacera Divi.

Voici pourquoi.

Divi a de nombreux points communs avec les autres

C'est un thème premium après tout, il suit donc un modèle similaire à celui de ses confrères.

Tout d'abord il embarque un constructeur de pages qui a été créé pour lui. Ce n'est pas le cas de tous, puisque certains utilisent Visual Composer, il se rapproche donc plus d'Avada, Enfold et X.

Mais qui dit page-builder dit aussi lock-in.

C'est à dire que si vous souhaitez changer de thème il faudra quand même conserver le Divi Builder (en tant qu'extension) ou bien nettoyer les shortcodes ( ça se fait en quelques lignes de codes) avant de reprendre le contenu.

Mais au final, tous les thèmes les plus populaires ont ce fonctionnement. C'est au travers de ce compromis qu'ils arrivent à devenir aussi puissants.

Ensuite, comme tout thème premium, son interface ne peut pas remplacer l'utilisation de CSS à un moment ou à un autre. Si vous souhaitez vraiment vous démarquer, il faudra monter en compétences et mettre les mains dans le cambouis.

Mais quel plaisir une fois qu'on sait tout modifier en CSS !

Et pour finir, les habitudes sont très importantes lorsque l'on utilise un thème premium. L'apprentissage initial peut être douloureux et frustrant, c'est pour cela qu'on finit par s'habituer à un plutôt qu'à un autre.

Le changement de thème devient alors compliqué, on perd nos marques et on n'a qu'une envie : ré-utiliser le thème qu'on affectionne tant.

N'essayez pas de convertir un pro-Avada en pro-Divi ou l'inverse : les habitudes sont probablement déjà trop ancrées.

Sauf qu'à mon avis, quelqu'un qui a goûté au Builder Visuel de Divi aura d'autant plus de mal à revenir en arrière avec d'autres thèmes !

Comment se situe Divi par rapport à la concurrence ?

J'ai introduit 4 critères qui permettent de départager les thèmes premium lors du #BattleThemeForest : la " beauté ", la simplicité, la puissance du constructeur de pages et la performance.

Divi vient marquer des points sur tous les tableaux :

Ses démos sont très belles. Mais l'inspiration donnée par les thèmes enfants, les layouts kits et les réalisations de la communauté est également très intéressante.

C'est un des thèmes les plus simples. Il tire partie de l'outil de personnalisation de WordPress pour gérer les options du thème. Cet aperçu en temps réel des modifications est jouissif et on gagne un temps monstre.

Le page-builder est en avance sur tous les autres grâce à son vrai fonctionnement en front-end. Là encore, on fait des sites à une vitesse incroyable.

Et il fait partie des thèmes les plus rapides avec un temps supplémentaire de chargement de 0,24 seconde. Je vous invite à retourner voir les résultats des autres thèmes pour voir où il se situe mais sachez que cela le place 5ème sur 11. Et la mise à jour 3.1 devrait améliorer encore plus ce score.

Si Divi avait fait partie du #BattleThemeForest, il aurait donc détrôné de nombreux thèmes. Mais ce n'est pas tout, il a un autre atout majeur : son prix.

Divi est le moins cher des meilleurs thèmes premium

Comparé aux 59$ HT par thème et par site de ThemeForest, le prix de Divi est dérisoire.

Elegant Themes a un système de licence annuelle qui vous permet d'accéder à tous leurs thèmes et toutes leurs extensions sur un nombre illimité de sites pour à peine plus cher !

Voici le détail des licences disponibles :

La licence Annuelle à 89$ HT par an vous permettra d'utiliser tous les thèmes et extensions avec 1 an de support et de mise à jour.

La licence à Vie à 249$ HT vous permettra d'utiliser tous leurs produits avec le support et les mises à jour ad vitam aeternam.

Au cas où vous n'auriez pas saisi la nuance, je le répète : pour ce prix-là vous pouvez utiliser Divi sur un nombre illimité de sites !

Et en plus de ça, on vous a dégoté plusieurs réductions si vous n'êtes pas encore client Elegant Themes :

Vous pouvez donc commencer avec une licence Annuelle pour tester leurs produits et choisir quoi faire ensuite. Si vous souhaitez renouveler votre licence, le tarif sera le même chaque année.

Mais vous pouvez également passer sur l'offre à vie pour être tranquille, une fois convaincu. D'ailleurs je vous propose plusieurs astuces pour économiser encore plus sur ElegantSchool (surtout si vous avez déjà une licence).

Et pour clôre cet article, on vous a préparé une ressource inédite pour vous accompagner au mieux dans votre utilisation de Divi !

Le Divi Kit par WPMarmite

Divi n'est pas exempt de défauts. Sa première utilisation est même déroutante, c'est pourquoi je vous ai préparé un " kit " pour vous faciliter la vie.

Voici ce que vous trouverez :

Un document de 21 pages d'astuces pour Divi : on y voit notamment comment bien utiliser la personnalisation de thème et comment respecter la hiérarchie des titres avec les modules.

Un thème enfant fonctionnel avec notamment le footer.php qui vous permettra de mettre les crédits de votre choix (avec incrémentation automatique des années).

Un point sur la traduction française du thème et surtout une réduction pour se procurer celles de François-Xavier Bénard, bien meilleures que celles fournies par Elegant Themes.

Et en recevant le Divi Kit aujourd'hui vous recevrez ses futures mises à jour, notamment en vidéo. Vous serez prévenu avant tout le monde.
Oui, Divi reste mon thème ultime

J'ai testé d'autres thèmes cet été pour voir si je ne passais pas à côté de quelque chose... et non.

Je n'ai rien trouvé qui arrive à la cheville de Divi parmi les thèmes de ThemeForest.

Le Divi Builder est devenu fantastique grâce à son mode front-end, le thème reste simplissime, le prix ridiculement faible... et j'ai trop d'habitudes avec Divi pour pouvoir changer.

Sans compter la communauté, l'entraide, le partage et toutes les découvertes qui me font évoluer tous les jours !

C'est pour toutes ces raisons que c'est maintenant le seul thème que j'utilise (aux côtés d'Extra) et que je prends autant de plaisir à animer ElegantSchool.

C'est aussi pour cela que je continue de recommander Divi à tous ceux qui veulent un thème premium qui a fait ses preuves. Et au vu de son évolution, je continuerai à le recommander pendant encore un bon moment !
Et vous ? Quel est votre avis sur Divi ? Dites-le moi en commentaire !

Choosing a template out of thousands which must be great and flawless for your website, and can co-relate with the content and nature of your website can be a challenging job for the one who doesn't have any prior knowledge about website development.

There are hundreds of free WordPress themes from which one can choose but sometimes large number of choices creates dilemma as to which one should be selected for the website.

When you're new and starting a new blog or website you should always go for simple free WordPress themes as going for premium themes could be a tough decision for you because you would have already invested enough amount in hosting and purchasing other necessary plugins and you won't want to spend more on it. So that's why it's always recommended that beginners should always go for free WP templates at least as you can always customise them according to your needs and it doesn't burn a hole into your pockets.

We are discussing all the essential points which one must overlook before choosing a free theme with slider which should perfectly cater to your content as well nature of the website.
The first and primary thing should be to know about your needs and requirements i.e. your nature of the website, viewers your website will attract, objectives of your website, your competency of using languages like CSS, PHP or JavaScript in which one you're fully versed with.

These are some of the questions which one must answer because they are going to form a basis for the selection of responsive free WordPress theme for your website.

The first and foremost thing which comes to our mind during creation of a website in WordPress is that should I use a free template or a paid one? The obvious conclusion should be to go for a free one because it would be your first time and why to invest more money than what you have already invested in purchasing domain and other useful plugins required.

WordPress themes for free are easily available online and they are totally free. Obviously Premium themes will be expensive and for an instance if you buy one of them and later you don't like or you found another theme more appealing according to the nature and content of your WordPress website and you want to change it then you again have to purchase the new one and you will always regret your decision and there will be no option to get your money back. So it will be very wise decision to choose a free WordPress theme download in your initial phase.

Following are some of the important points which one should consider before choosing a free WordPress theme for software company from the large number of options available in the market:

1. Vulnerability: Most of times developer's core intention is to enhance the looks of the website and they have overlooked the fact that there could be vulnerabilities in the scripts which can invite hackers to your website who can steal data from your website and then sell it to your competitors. Data can include your viewers contact information and other confidential information. So while choosing a WordPress theme for free one must also keep in mind the point regarding security of the website and customer credentials.

2. Fast Loading: The other important aspect which is necessary in choosing one of flawless free WordPress themes is the swiftness and speed in loading your website. Now, the speed and swiftness is completely depending upon the theme, if you have chosen a theme which is heavy in terms of scripts and codes and consumes heavy amount of time to load several http requests it's obvious that it's going to take time to load your website which can frustrate a prospect or a visitor. Many surveys have shown people tend to abandon those websites which take plenty of time to load. Thus leading to ultimately more bounce rates than normal.

3. Multilingual Support: One must always keep in mind the support of multi-language. The multi-language support gives the viewers option to change the website according to their native languages. This can attract viewers from all over world there are many free WP themes and plugins which give these kind of options to developers to install which can automatically translate the page. Multilingual plugins like polylang, WPML, qTranslate - X are compatible with our all free WP templates.

4. Compatibility: Browser compatibility is one of the option which can grow your website and attract more traffic so choosing one of these free WordPress themes which is fully compatible with all the browsers like mobile, tablet, hand held and other desktop browsers popular in the market. Developers from our team have ran through all the desired tests in order to make all the free templates compatible with all the popular browsers best known to all users.

5. Mobile friendly: In today's world more and more customers are using mobile devices to surf the internet and hence it is absolutely essential to have a mobile friendly WordPress free theme. Google also ranks those websites on top which are multi-platform friendly which includes mobiles, tablets and other devices. Most of the free WordPress themes are multi-platform friendly but it's most important to check that the theme you consider should be mobile friendly. In our store we include only the ones which are mobile friendly and have a mobile device first approach. Also one can install AMP (accelerated mobile pages plugin) and can use AMP technology as well in their websites using our free templates.

6. Support: If you have chosen a free WordPress theme which is perfect according to your content and nature of the website but doesn't offer you any support afterwards then its surely going to land you into some trouble in future. Also you might want to hire a developer later on for this purpose. Whenever you face any issue whether it's with installation of plugins or any other thing which you are unsure of you might require some kind of support. So its wise to choose a theme which provides support as and when required. In our case we have support as a paid plan and with free WP themes one can avail either support plan or purchase the Pro theme to get complete peace of mind.

7. Customer feedback: It is very important that one must take back the feedback in the form of review and ratings from the customer so as to know what customers like and what they don't or dislike the most. Most of the free responsive WordPress themes with slider download do not give such an option. However in our case from time to time we try to gain feedback from our customers and try to have most of the options implemented free of cost. Some features however aren't possible which are listed in our paid theme. We do however try to give alternate solutions in the form of plugin compatibility.

8. SEO compatibility: The other factor which is very important and should be kept in any free WordPress theme you're using is compatibility with SEO plugins and SEO friendly coding. As based on HTML and CSS most of the themes are coded nowadays as per SEO coding standards. Choosing a perfect SEO compatible theme is in itself a hard job but plugins make the job easier and hence it is essential one should search for WordPress themes free to download which are compatible with SEO plugins and properly make use of SEO coding and Silos structure to get the maximum advantage while getting you top rankings for SEO.

9. Plugins Availability: The key factor for choosing a perfect free theme of WordPress from the large number of WordPress free WP themes is the friendliness and compatibility with all the important and popular plugins. While there are number of plugins available on the repository but if a popular plugin is already working out of the box with our chosen free WordPress theme then it reduces the time taken from your end to setup your website and makes your job easy. So while selecting a free theme of WordPress for download one should not just check the responsive ness of the theme but also the plugin compatibility with various and important plugins which you will require now or in future.

In the above points we have discussed some of the important key factors which one must always keep in mind before choosing a free theme from large number of free WP themes available online or in the repository. All the above mentioned key points are very necessary if you're a new developer or an end user. Some people tend to get confused while choosing from all the available free WP themes and download based on the look and feel and design. But most of the good looking free WP themes lack several key points like responsive, SEO and plugin compatibility which are essential and important. Also keep in mind one thing that always go for reliable sources to download themes.

You've picked your CMS - WordPress.

You've got your domain name and WordPress hosting.

You've installed WordPress and you're wondering - which theme should I be using?

Up to this point, setting up your website has proven to be a breeze. Now you're lost in a sea of thousands of different themes, templates and page builders.

Let me relieve you of all your stress and worry, take you by the hand and walk you through my personal 20+ favorite free WordPress Themes. I have hand-picked and chosen them specifically for you - a newcomer who has just set up a WordPress website.

Whether you're creating a corporate or small business website, are eager to show of your photography prowess, are simply a blogger itching to get your story read or a shrewd entrepreneur about to launch your first million-dollar eCommerce success story; I've got you covered!

1. Best Themes for Small Business

2. Best Themes for Bloggers (and Personal Websites)

3. Best Themes for Portfolios and Photographers

4. Theme recommendations from visitors

Ready to launch this new chapter of your life? Let's go!

1. Best Business WordPress Themes

Whether you are small business owner in Boston or a digital nomad startup, your brand/website needs a suitable theme.

Your business website will be the first impression of your brand, the first and often only chance to impress and woo. It needs to quickly and accurately exhibit the core values of your business - and do so seamlessly.

As such, the most important qualities a free business WordPress theme needs to be able to facilitate, are the following:
10 factors you should consider when choosing your website's WordPress theme:

1. Available features. What features do you absolutely need for your website? Ecommerce support? Specific plugin support? Make sure your theme has the features you need.

2. Supported plugins. Plugins can make your website look slick, be more secure, and load faster. So, make sure your theme supports the plugins you want (and if you're unsure, you can ask the theme developer about it). You can check out the best free WordPress plugins here.

3. The content. Do you want your website to be just one page, or have a host of pages? Is it a photography-based website, or will the website be the face of your business? As you'll see, some content fits some themes better than others.

4. Ease of customization. It should be easy to customize the theme - otherwise, you'll struggle every time you want to tweak something.

5. SEO. Look for "SEO Optimized" or "SEO ready" in the theme description. You can also download a Chrome extension like MozBar and run some quick SEO checks on the theme's demo.

6. Responsiveness. Your theme should be responsive, i.e. able to adjust its layout across different screen sizes and devices.

7. Simplicity. Your website theme doesn't need to be too flashy. Often, flashy themes just load slower and confuse your visitors. As the old saying goes, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

8. Speed. Speed will be a determining factor in the success of your website. To test a theme's speed, use the Pingdom Website Speed Test, enter the URL of the theme's demo, and see how long the page takes to load, as well as how many HTTP requests are made.

9. Business goals. How well does your theme match up with your short-term and long-term business goals?

10. Security. Check customer reviews and see what customers have said about the theme's security.

Keep these factors in mind as you go through this list of free WordPress themes - and choose carefully, because switching themes later on is a bit of a pain.

2. Best Themes for Blogs & Personal Websites

Blogging has recently become a catch-all buzzword people throw around. Google defines a blog as "a regularly updated website or web page, typically one run by an individual or small group, that is written in an informal or conversational style."

In its essence, a blog is an informal opinion type of page on or standalone website. From mommy bloggers detailing their everyday life, travel bloggers documenting their world-travel journeys to big companies producing meaningful state-of-industry articles; a blog is a versatile online platform to share what you have going on in your life.

Due to it's personal nature, the perfect free blog WordPress theme has to be able to fulfill the following goals:

Persona

Blogs are read for their content as much as for the person writing it. Your blog better has your face plastered all over it, if you hope to build rapport with your first time visitors and turn them into readers, invested in your opinion and life.

Content First

It's simple, really - a blog's only attraction is the site's honest, visceral content. The perfect blog theme knows how to highlight and draw a visitor's attention to it first, second and third.

Simplicity

Blog themes need to be straightforward, lightweight, without many bells and whistles. Visitors don't care about anything but the written words of the blogger. This means a focus on well coded framework which facilitates a quick load of the page as well as a simple theme design, void of distraction.

When it comes to the best free blog WordPress themes, the keywords you should be thinking about, are simple, straightforward, focused.

Questions you should ask yourself once your blog website is complete:

Do I know who runs this blog immediately?

Is my attention immediately drawn to an article?

Do I understand how to navigate the site?

If your visitor can answer these three questions with a "Yes" within moments after clicking on your site - your blog is well on its way to success.

Check out my favorite free WordPress blog themes to get you started!

3. Photography & Portfolio WordPress Themes

Hobbyist, professional or agency. The manner in which you chose to present your work is so consequential, it cannot be stressed enough.

While your goals with a photography website can be many and varied, the path to reach them is one and the same - perfect display of narrative. Whatever your message, your ability to create a conducive flow with your photography is going to be the deciding factor in your website's success.

Here is what you are looking for in a photography WordPress Theme:

Gallery

The core of your photography site is bound to be the gallery and the way you present your work. Ideally your theme will have not one, but several well thought out galleries for you to choose from.

From there, you want some basic but necessary functionality including direct links to the gallery/picture, a place to add details, comments and so on. In a perfect world you will want to have a boatload of functionality which you can decide to add or remove from your very own and personal gallery.

Free themes usually make do with very basic galleries and won't leave you much room for individualism, but we've tried to find the best.

Minimalism

Nothing worse than a cluttered theme that takes away the focus from the point of the website - the photography. Not just simplicity, but hardcore minimalism is what we like to see.

Do away with unnecessary menus, lines and design elements, taking our attention away from your story and message.

What's vital, integrate well. What's not, skip.

Less Coding, More Images

The #1 element that slows websites down like nothing else? Pictures. While we're fans of "less is more" and urge you to be conscious of how many scripts, plugins, widgets and so on you install - a fat picture can do a hell of a lot more damage than any of those.

Ideally, you want your theme to be very light. The developers must have taken into account its intended purpose and made every effort to facilitate a swift loading time.

Unfortunately, it's near impossible for laypeople and casual website owners to gauge how much effort a developer has put into good coding. Don't expect any free theme developer to have given this point much of a thought.

If you're looking for best photography theme, ask yourself the following three question about your photography site:

Is the photography displayed conducive to the narrative?

Is my attention fixated on the story & message?

Is the site loading quickly?

Here are most popular free photography WordPress themes:

Pixgraphy: All About Photos

Pixgraphy is one of the most popular portfolio/photography theme for professionals. Featuring stunning minimalist gallery options, huge hero images and coded to perfection, this theme is perfect for anyone ready to make his work do all the selling.

30+ Best Free WordPress Themes (Blog, Business & Portfolio)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
You've picked your CMS - WordPress. You've got your domain name and WordPress hosting. You've installed WordPress and you're wondering - which theme should I be using? Up to this point, setting up your website has proven to be a breeze. Now you're lost in a sea of thousands of different themes, templates and page builders.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This article will provide you a breakdown between the choices and help you decide which one is better; a custom wordpress theme or a premium theme. Here's the hint - the answer is a custom WordPress theme and you will understand by the time you finish reading this article. Before we delve into the reasons why you need a custom WordPress theme and not just a premium one, let us first look at what each of these mean.
Common features between your custom and premium theme
Irrespective of the type of theme you choose, the basic functionality of your website will not change. All themes will enable you to log in, update your website, maintain security through the administrative function and in general contains all the code and feature necessary to run a bare bones website.

A theme is a "skin" that sits on top of this bare bones website that makes your site unique. Think of it as a pre-fabricated set of page templates that include visual elements. Allowing you to customize the color, font, text size and structure, a theme is what brands your website. Themes come in 3 different types and can be free, premium or custom. Free themes are just that - they are free. They have very limited options and only allow you to change the site color. Premium and custom themes are more appropriate for businesses and blogs looking to scale.
Introduction to Premium Based Themes
Premium WordPress themes are a step above free themes in that they offer a few more customization features. These cookie-cutter themes are best used when you have limited functionality in mind for your website. Thousands of developers from across the world have devoted time to create premium WordPress themes. All you need is to download the theme from the WordPress store and customize it per your needs. Premium WordPress themes are best when you have a

Small website

Limited budget

Lack of development and designing skills

Limited need for advanced functionality

Need to purchase immediately

Keep in mind though that premium themes do not come with developer support in most cases. So, most developers are only interested in you till you make a sale and may not support you once you do.
The Custom Theme Difference
In case of custom WordPress theme, the theme is designed around your website and your brand identity, not the other way around. You decide what color, font, structure and layout you want for your website and it is made to order specifically for your needs.

Do you run a data analysis blog, daily forex trading news and want integrated display for your charts? You are in luck. Custom themes can add any functionality or feature you want. They are designed to make your site truly unique and are adapted to the style of the website owner rather than the designer. Let us now delve into why custom themes are the way to go when it comes to WordPress.

Why are Custom Themes Better ?

Here are five reasons why custom themes are better than premium themes.

Brand Identity - By creating a theme that is uniquely suited to your goals and vision for the website, you are creating a brand identity for yourself. When you think of Facebook, think of how your mind leaps to the "Facebook blue", that is how your readers will feel about your website with a custom theme.

Continuous Customer Support - Custom WordPress designers provide continuous support helping you not just install the theme for your website but also helping fix bugs and providing remote assistance when necessary.

Added Features and Functionality - Whether you want to add an integrated web chat or you want support for a specific tool from within your website, you can do so with custom WordPress themes. Add new features and functionalities with you theme instead of installing them as plugins.

Code ownership - Most custom WordPress providers will enter a contract that provides you with full ownership of the code. This means if for some reason, you are dissatisfied with their support, you can always switch companies without losing your website.

Avoid Feature Bloat - Custom themes are completely devoid of unwanted features that premium themes tend to have. When you create a theme to satisfy only your needs, your code tends to be less bloated with features you don't need.

In the end, for just a little bit more money you build a truly safe and secure WordPress site that revolves around your brand identity and is instantly recognizable to your readers.

Rechercher un thème WordPress adéquat peut faire perdre patience. D'un côté, certains modèles sont convenables d'un point de vue esthétique, mais ne disposent pas des outils utiles pour améliorer votre référencement naturel. D'autres thèmes en revanche se démarquent par leur prise en compte des exigences SEO, mais laissent à désirer au niveau du design. A cela s'ajoute des problèmes de comptabilité de plugins, des codes sources mal programmés ou de nouvelles failles de sécurité. Ainsi, il est courant de changer régulièrement de modèles de site Web, ce qui demande toutefois beaucoup de temps et d'argent. Des thèmes de base comme le Frawework Genesis peuvent être néanmoins une bonne issue de secours à ce dilemme, en gardant une certaine flexibilité pour la conception.

Qu'est-ce que le Framework Genesis ?

Sur le site Web studiopress.com, vous avez accès à différents thèmes WordPress de bonne qualité, parmi lesquels Framework Genesis. Le propriétaire et administrateur du site est l'entreprise américaine Rainmaker Digital, qui exerce notamment dans le domaine du marketing online, de l'optimisation des conversions et du marketing de contenu. Parmi les thèmes proposés par StudioPress, on trouve ce qui s'appelle les thèmes enfants qui sont construits sur le thème parent, comme Genesis Framework. Pour utiliser les modèles de présentation, il est alors nécessaire d'ajouter le framework à l'installation de WordPress. Vous pourrez en savoir plus sur les techniques de combinaison de thèmes dans notre introduction sur les frameworks des thèmes WordPress.

Les particularités du framework thème Genesis

Contrairement à pour de nombreux autres thèmes parents, les fonctions de Genesis ont été volontairement limitées à l'essentiel. Alors que d'autres Frameworks reposent souvent sur des centaines de fichiers CSS, JavaScript et images, Genesis regroupe seulement près de 100 fichiers. Au lieu d'implémenter le maximum de fonctions possibles et d'options de design dans ce thème parent, les développeurs ont choisi de proposer surtout des fonctions adéquates aux mises à jour. De cette manière, les utilisateurs peuvent décider s'ils ont besoin d'une option précise pour leur présentation et dans le doute l'installer après coup sans problème. Grâce aux plugins de WordPress Genesis Translations, vous pourrez ajouter Genesis Framework en français. Sa structure fine permet de bénéficier des 3 avantages essentiels ci-dessous pour les thèmes StudioPress préconçus ou pour le développement d'un modèle :

1. Grande rapidité

Les frameworks, tout comme les thèmes enfants, ont seulement un léger impact sur la performance de votre projet WordPress. Cela permet des temps de chargement rapides, ce qui est extrêmement important en termes de référencement naturel mais aussi pour une meilleure satisfaction des visiteurs.

2. Flexibilité dans les possibilités d'ajustement

Le thème parent constitue un modèle autonome avec lequel vous pouvez concevoir sans problème une page simple. Néanmoins, comparé à de nombreux autres frameworks, il ne présente pas d'avantages spécifiques. Pour quasiment tous les ajustements que vous ne pouvez pas effectuer avec le thème Genesis, il existe toutefois des plugins performants.

3. Haut niveau de sécurité

Depuis que le système de management de contenu est devenu très populaire, les pages WordPress ont été des cibles fréquentes des cybercriminels. Les attaques se font le plus souvent sur les plugins et thèmes qui sont développés par des fournisseurs tiers, et qui ne sont pas vérifiés par l'entreprise de développement WordPress Automattic. Les frameworks complexes peuvent en particulier présenter des failles de sécurité qui facilitent l'accès des attaquants à votre projet. Le code de Genesis Framework est documenté à 100 % et soumis à un check-up complet à chaque mise à jour.

Aperçu des caractéristiques principales de Genesis

Chaque thème enfant Genesis possède des fonctions et éléments visuels propres qui permettent d'élargir le cœur des fonctions. De ce fait, les différents thèmes Genesis studioPress conçus se distinguent les uns des autres, tandis que le framework reste en revanche le même, tout du moins à partir du moment où vous ne décidez pas de vous écarter de la structure parent-enfant et de remanier vous-même le framework Genesis. Ceci est certes possible grâce à la licence publique GNU mais en principe non recommandable. La liste ci-dessous expose les caractéristiques principales proposées par le framework WordPress standard.

Webdesign responsive sur une base HTML5 : avec Genesis, vous organisez la présentation de votre site Web à l'aide de modules flexibles qui sont développés d'après le nouveau standard HTML5. Les thèmes enfants s'adaptent par conséquent automatiquement aux différentes tailles d'affichage et sont compatibles avec tous les navigateurs usuels. Cela vous permet d'atteindre le plus grand nombre d'utilisateurs potentiels et d'optimiser la diffusion de vos contenus vidéo et audio.

Widgets standard : grâce à quelques templates standards, vous n'avez pas à concevoir tous les éléments de votre site Web. Il existe par exemple un encadré préconçu pour les auteurs qui permet de présenter le rédacteur d'une contribution, mais aussi des widgets pour les posts ou pages appréciés. De plus, plusieurs modules sont optimisés pour la mise en place de publicités, par exemple les annonces Google AdSense.

Modèles de présentation : avec Genesis Framework, vous pouvez présenter votre page de manière tout à fait personnelle. Cependant, vous pouvez aussi recourir aux six structures préconçues du thème parent.

Actualisation simple des thèmes : vous pouvez à tout moment ajuster votre thème enfant. Dans les options, vous pourrez modifier très facilement votre présentation ou insérer un nouveau code de couleurs sans mettre en danger les autres fonctionnalités de votre projet. L'ensemble des modifications sont directement prises en compte.

Mises à jour simples : Genesis ne représente aucune difficulté pour les utilisateurs débutants. Vous pouvez configurer le chargement et l'installation automatique des mises à jour. En outre, vous avez la possibilité de donner votre adresse mail pour être informé des mises à jour disponibles.

Les thèmes enfants Genesis : un investissement qui en vaut la peine

StudioPress ne propose pas seulement le framework Genesis, mais aussi divers thèmes enfants. Les plus de 50 thèmes " pro " des catégories business, magazine, photographie et immobilier, portent indéniablement la marque du framework. Ils se distinguent par une programmation simple qui permet de favoriser une bonne clarté ainsi qu'une excellente vitesse de chargement. A cela s'ajoute la mise en place de fonctions de Search Engine Optimization et une bonne adaptabilité aux différentes tailles d'affichage et types de navigateurs. Vous pourrez ainsi faire croître votre notoriété plus aisément. Vous trouverez tous les thèmes enfants Genesis officiellement pris en charge dans la boutique de thèmes StudioPress.

StudioPress Genesis : Modèle de licence et prix

Il existe trois moyens différents de vous procurer le framework Genesis :

En achetant simplement le framework ;

En achetant un thème enfant, le framework étant inclus ;

En devenant membre " pro plus " et disposant ainsi du framework et de tous les thèmes enfants actuellement disponibles ainsi que ceux à venir.

Dans tous les cas, grâce à la licence acquise, vous pouvez utiliser le framework ou les thèmes pour autant de projets Webs que vous le souhaitez (habituellement, les utilisations de logiciels sont souvent limitées à un seul site Web). De plus, vous aurez accès à des tutoriels utiles, des mises à jour régulières pour le framework et les thèmes achetés, ainsi qu'à une aide pour les problèmes techniques grâce au support Genesis. Les deux premières options d'achat vous permettent d'utiliser le framework dans la durée. La licence n'est à payer qu'une seule fois. Si vous optez pour le pack " pro plus ", vous devrez en revanche payer annuellement des frais pour prolonger la licence.

Bilan

Genesis compte à juste titre parmi les frameworks de thèmes WordPress les plus appréciés et les plus utilisés. Près de 200 000 projets Web ont déjà été réalisés. Si une fonction vient à manquer, vous pouvez vous tourner sans grande difficulté vers des plugins adaptés. Contrairement aux autres modèles, Genesis se préoccupe des problématiques SEO ; habituellement, il est plutôt nécessaire d'ajouter des extensions WordPress. Par ailleurs, les développeurs s'appliquent à effectuer des audits réguliers pour assurer une bonne sécurité. Grâce aux 30 jours d'essai satisfait ou remboursé, vous ne prendrez pas de risques inutiles et pourrez tester Genesis Framework à votre convenance.

WordPress powers some of the prettiest websites on the Internet. The platform has matured into a very powerful foundation that allows for setting up a visually pleasing website in almost no time at all.

WordPress offers an overwhelming number of themes that dress up a website in a seemingly infinite number of styles. For any style imaginable, multiple themes add a unique mix of visual and UI/UX elements to the website.

All this is possible because WordPress theme development is dependent upon theme framework(s) that form the core of the theme. In simple terms, a theme framework is a code library that provides basic architecture and extended functionalities to theme development process.

The importance of theme frameworks has increased in the world where responsive design and ecommerce dominate all trends. Almost all major and minor theme frameworks incorporate responsive design and all the best practices for web development.

Here is a long list of WordPress theme frameworks that power WordPress themes.

1. Canvas

Canvas is a renowned framework for WordPress websites. The framework is created and maintained by WooThemes, and powers all the themes offered by the company.

Many developers use Canvas for the development of the parent theme that is then customized into several child themes. The ease of use and the wide set of functionalities available in Canvas means that the framework could be used to create themes for any type of website. In particular, Canvas allows the developers to modify design elements, placement of visual elements, colors, layouts and typography of the theme.

Because of the influence of the parent company, WooCommerce, Canvas is specially optimized for ecommerce website theme development. This means that using Canvas, a developer could easily create a visually stunning theme for an ecommerce store with minimal hassle.

2. Gantry

Gantry is the product of Rocket Theme, a well-known theme development agency. Perhaps, the most interesting fact about Gantry is that it could be used for theme development for WordPress, Joomla, and Grav.

The visual menu editor and powerful layout manager ensure that even less-experienced developers could create very impressive themes with little training or experience. The best feature of the layout manager is the unlimited undo that ensure that the developer could work without worrying about breaking things.

When developing themes using Gantry, the developers has the choice of using a number of built- in fields (including color pickers, icon, and font pickers), LESS, CSS, RTL and a powerful 960 grid system. In addition, the developers have access to 38 different design layouts and 65 widget areas. All this culminates in a powerful theme development framework that forms the foundation of a fully responsive and visually attractive theme.

3. Genesis

Genesis by StudioPress is perhaps the best-known theme development framework for WordPress. Developed and maintained by StudioPress, Genesis powers some of the most popular WordPress themes. The real strength of the framework is its robust and highly optimized code that results in a very clean and error-free theme.

StudioPress has put a lot of emphasis on three important areas of theme development. Security is built into the core of the framework and updates ensure that all vulnerabilities are regularly patched. Responsive design is implemented using the latest HTML5 standards. Finally, Genesis offers a huge number of customization for headers, footers, and widgets. Combined these three factors result in a very powerful and user-friendly theme development framework.

You could either opt for the Genesis framework or build your theme on very stable foundations. Alternatively, you could buy a child theme based on Genesis framework that could be further customized to suit your requirements.

Hybrid Core is developed by ThemeHybrid and is released under GPL license. This means that the developers could use the framework for free. However, do not equate the cost of the framework to the value it adds to the theme development process.

The best thing about Hybrid Core is its complete freedom of development. There is no "recommended" way of creating themes. The developers could use any combination of HTML, CSS, JS and other supported technologies to create their dream theme. A very important outcome of this approach is that the developers are free to use their own scripts and snippets in theme development process.

Translation into foreign languages is one area where theme development frameworks often fail to deliver. Hybrid Core ensures that translations are loaded smoothly for both parent and children themes.

Developers have the option to use custom layouts for themes that could be coupled with custom post types for maximum flexibility in the design. In addition, the native gallery shortcodes and built-in media grabber greatly streamline the handling of the media.

iThemes Builder is an option-packed theme development framework that is supported b a very competent team. The framework is ideal for developers who are looking for a hassle-free way of implementing a pre-approved design. The most important aspect of using iThemes Builder is the ease of developing a custom layout for the WordPress website.

The Layout Editor is the first stage of theme development. Layout Editor employs a modular approach that cover header, footer, images, widgets, navigation, sidebars, HTML and content areas.

For non-designers, iThemes Builder provides a Style Manager that takes care of all design related issues.

Blocks add another layer of functionality by providing ready-made content containers that greatly enhances the functionality of the website. Blocks are often used on contact pages and schedulers.

The basic Foundation Pack of the framework is available for USD 80. This is followed by Developer Pack for USD 150 and an All Access Pass for USD 197.

PageLines dubs itself as "the easiest ways of design and customizes WordPress websites".

The most important feature of PageLines theme development framework is the huge number of plugins that add or extend functionality to the theme. The best thing about these plugins is that they integrate seamlessly without breaking the code. PageLines is specially optimized for WordPress and the themes developed using the framework features a very clean code that is optimized out-of-the-box. The framework supports responsive design and a huge library of fonts, backgrounds and third-party script integration.

While the free version of the framework is adequate for most themes and websites, the paid versions offer important upgrades in the form of pro extensions and support forums.

Roots offer an end-to-end product lineup that takes care of everything about WordPress development. Adopting a very broad and a unique approach, Roots offers three distinct but inter-related products.

WordPress development could be tricky and some of the more elusive errors actually originate in the development environment rather than the code itself. Realizing this, Roots offers Trellis, a self-contained WordPress development environment complete with a virtual machine and a WordPress server.

Once you have the server ready, Roots provide a WordPress boilerplate that forms the basis of a streamlined and hassle-free development. Known as Bedrock, this boilerplate takes care of all dependencies via Composer and integrates security from the beginning by limiting access to non-web files and secure passwords.

The third component is Sage, a starter theme that forms an admirable foundation for a visually appealing and highly functional theme. Sage integrates Bootstrap, front-end package management through Bower and JavaScript support.

The best news about Roots is that all these components are available free of cost. However, if you require support or need more help in using Roots for your project, you could buy support.

Thesis prides itself on being accessible to everyone, regardless of the style and complexity of the website. The theme development frameworks are well-known for three features that ensure that every theme and website built using Thesis is both functional and attractive.

The first feature is the Skins, the design control component of the framework. The theme is responsive right out-of-the-box without any alterations. Skins go beyond the traditional parent-child architecture of the WordPress themes and provide more comprehensive control over the design process.

The next feature is Boxes that integrate various functionalities into the website seamlessly and without any major issues. This means that instead of installing a plugin that could break the website, a designer could just drag-and-drop a Box to add that functionality to the website.

Finally, Thesis takes care of all performance and optimization related issues through its complement of web tools. These web tools add SEO and branding tools flawlessly within the overall design of the theme and the website.

Thesis is available in three price packages that start from a USD 87 Basic version, followed by Basic Plus (USD 164) and Professional (USD 197).

WordPress theme development could not get more authentic than Underscores, a starter theme that is built and maintained by Automattic, the company behind WordPress.

With Underscores, Automattic has taken an extreme approach by providing a very lean starter theme that does not offer much by way of bells and whistles. However, the real power lies in the fact that HTML5 templates and minimal CSS that could be built upon without issues. The framework is fully responsive and a JavaScript converts the website menu into a toggled dropdown for mobile devices.

Underscores is designed to be lean enough to make sure that the development process is not hindered by bloated code that breaks up frequently. This is why it is not recommended to use Underscores as a parent theme. Instead, use the various components and scripts to build your own theme.

The entire code of the framework is available on GitHub, making the development process a breeze.

Headway has been around since 2009 and is now considered a pioneer in drag-and-drop layout design process for WordPress. If you are considering Headway for your next project, know that Headway is currently facing financial difficulties and might not be able to provide full service.

In essence, Headway is a parent theme that you purchase and then customize for your particular requirements. This means that anyone from experienced developer to a novice developer could easily translate ideas into the functional design.

Headway people understand that mistakes are an unavoidable part of the theme development process. The native rollback system saves snapshots periodically that users could be reverted to in a single click.

Honorable Mentions:

Conclusion

A theme development framework greatly eases the theme development process and ensures that the final product is stable and highly functional for the broadest combination of WordPress core and plugins.

This is not an exhaustive list and I am sure that I might have missed out your favorite framework. If this is the case, or you would like to discuss a framework mentioned above, please leave a comment.

Since I last reviewed WordPress frameworks two years ago, the nature of frameworks has evolved.

My definition of a framework back then was a parent theme with an API and/or extensive customization options for non-coders.

But things have changed. Not all frameworks are even themes now, let alone parent themes. Some of the frameworks reviewed here take the form of plugins, while others are designed to be used alone, not with child themes.

So what is a framework?

In this post I'll look at theme frameworks, what they are, and compare some of the best ones, both for users and developers.

I'll cover:

What is a theme framework and what are the alternatives?

Benefits and drawbacks of using a framework.

Identifying your criteria for choosing a framework.

A review of the top frameworks.

After reading this post, you'll know exactly what you're looking for in a WordPress framework and how to go about finding the right one for you.

What is a WordPress Framework?

A framework is an advanced kind of WordPress theme or plugin with features allowing users to customize, adapt and extend it.

Frameworks might be designed in one of three ways:
#1. A Parent Theme, for Use with Child Themes
The parent theme might be minimal with child themes required to add all the styling and functionality, or the parent theme might provide most of what you need and the child theme is like a "skin."
#2. A Standalone Theme for Use without a Child Theme
You might argue that this makes any advanced theme a framework but I'm just including themes with advanced feature sets and an API here.
#3. A Plugin That You Combine with a Compatible Theme
The plugin provides the functionality that a parent theme might normally do while the theme adds styling and customization in the way a child theme might.

You might buy or download your child theme from the framework developer (or a third party) or build one yourself.

The ways in which you can customize a site running on a framework vary according to the framework you're using. Some include a range of customizations you can make via options screens or (preferably) the Customizer, while others will require you to code. This means that a framework can include some or all of:

Options screens, which let you customize the content, design and layout of your site

A bespoke interface which lets you design your site in real time

Customizer compatibility

Widget areas in multiple locations in the page or in different template files

A range of template files (some frameworks include a small number while others have dozens)

APIs including hooks and functions you can access in your child theme or plugins

Add-ons in the form of plugins designed to work with the framework.

As we'll see from examining some frameworks in detail, the features can vary significantly between them so it pays to identify what your requirements are before you pick one.

Alternatives to Frameworks

In some cases, a theme framework might not be what you need to help your development workflow or to speed up the creation of a specific site. Let's have a look at some of the alternatives:

#1. Parent Themes

It's easy to confuse theme frameworks with parent themes. A parent theme is any theme which is used together with a child theme, which adds customization to the parent theme. For example, the WordPress default theme is often used as a parent theme which users then customize by creating a child theme with their own template files and styling changes.

While any theme can theoretically be used as a parent theme, a theme framework will offer you much more. As well as the template files and functions included with a parent theme, it will offer customization, add-ons and/or its own API.

#2. Theme Clubs / Vendors

Some theme clubs refer to their product as a framework, but this isn't always strictly true. Some theme clubs sell themes that share a common code base, but this code base is part of each theme and not provided by a separate parent theme or a plugin.

So strictly speaking, these aren't frameworks. Some theme clubs refer to their product as a framework, but this isn't always true...

If you need a professional theme with a range of features for just one site build and don't plan to use it as the basis of a number of site builds in the future, then a theme from a theme club or vendor (or indeed a free theme from the WordPress theme repository) may be more suitable for you. It will often be quicker to get to grips with than a framework and may be cheaper, too.

#3. Starter Themes

If you're developing your own framework or creating your own standalone theme, a starter theme will speed up your workflow, but it's not the same thing as a framework. A starter theme, such as Underscores, is just that - something to start off with, which you then add to to create a fully featured theme. Starter themes shouldn't be used as parent themes. They generally don't include any options or APIs either as their role is to be as basic as possible.

#4. Code Libraries

Code libraries or drop-ins are a set of files which you import into your own theme, or one you've downloaded, to add extra features and functionality to your theme. They won't include the template files for different content types but might provide you with an API you can tap into to extend your theme and add extra functionality.

They aren't frameworks because they don't provide everything you need to build your site without adding extra themes, plugins and/or code.

Benefits of Using a Framework

So, now you know what a theme framework is and isn't, it's time to decide if it's the right option for you.

Let's take a look at some of the benefits of using a theme framework:

Pro #1. Robust Code

A well-written framework will provide you with a set of robust files that adhere to the WordPress coding standards and will be compatible with well-written plugins. Obviously you can't guarantee that every framework will be well written, but if choose a framework that is popular with other users or developers with similar needs to yours and has received good reviews, then you should be fairly confident.

Before you download a framework, particularly if you have to pay for it, ask around and find out what your contacts and colleagues use. But be careful that you take into account the fact that their choices will be based on their own requirements, which may well be different from yours.

Pro #2. Support

Many theme frameworks include support from the theme developer or from a community of users. If this is important to you, check what's available and how much it will cost, as this varies.

I'll cover support in the reviews of specific frameworks and in the summary at the end of this article.

Pro #3. A Community of Developers

If you need support, training or help writing code, it pays to choose a framework with a large community of experienced developers. This is especially important if you want to create your own child themes or make use of the API and think you might struggle, or if you're a non-coder who's going to need to hire someone to write custom code for sites built on the framework.

Pro #4. Speed of Development

If you're using a framework for just one or two sites, you'll need something with a swift learning curve that can help you get those sites off the ground more quickly than if you'd used a standalone theme. But if you plan to use the framework for a large number of client sites, then you can invest the time to get to grips with a larger, more powerful framework that will give you more flexibility as time goes on and your skills develop.

Pro #5. Don't Repeat Yourself

A key reason for using a framework is to adhere to the Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY) principle. Your framework will give you a starting point for every new site build that saves you time on the basics. Depending on your needs this will vary from a base on which you can create your own child theme to a theme which you can quickly customize via dashboard screens.

It's important that your framework includes everything that you'll need on the majority of site builds you do, and not much more or less. If there's much less you'll find yourself adding the same code to every child theme, and if there's a lot more you run the risk of code bloat. Some frameworks include plugins which you can use to extend individual sites without having too much code in the framework theme itself.

Pro #6. Flexibility and Extendability

For a framework to meet all your needs for future builds you don't even know about yet, you'll need flexibility. Some frameworks come with flexibility in the form of options screens which you can use to customize your layout, design and more, and some have APIs which mean you can extend the framework however you need to.

It's likely that your familiarity with and skill at using the framework will increase over time so don't limit yourself to options which are all within the range of your current abilities: you may find that you're tweaking options on settings screens now but in a couple of years time you're tapping into the API to write your own plugins!

Drawbacks of Using a Framework

Frameworks have many advantages, but they also have their drawbacks.

Con #1. Learning Curve

It could take you longer to get to grips with a theme framework than a standalone theme, although this will vary between frameworks. If you're just building one site this may well be too long.

Con #2. Reliance on Framework Developer

Once you choose a theme framework, you might use it for years to come on a number of site builds. This means you'll be reliant on the framework developer to some extent. Before you make your choice, check that the framework is kept up to date for compatibility with WordPress releases and that the support system looks like it's going to be here to stay.

If your framework isn't kept up to date and your sites develop security vulnerabilities or bugs, then you may face the prospect of rebuilding them using a different framework or theme. This is one reason why premium frameworks can have an advantage over free ones: the developer is making money from it so is more likely to keep it updated.

Con #3. Cost and Hidden Costs

Having said that, the cost is a potential downside of using a framework, particularly if you're using it to power personal sites for which you'll have to absorb all the costs yourself. Premium frameworks are generally sold on a subscription model which means you'll be forking out every year from now on. And don't be tempted to skip your subscription renewal: you won't have access to future updates which could mean your site becomes unstable or insecure.

Con #4. Potential Bloat

Some theme frameworks come with a huge code base that can be quite daunting to understand and take up a lot more space on your server than a simple standalone theme. However, it's not so much the size of the files that's a risk as what functions are fired when a site using the framework is loaded. If a framework is firing functions which you don't need for most of your sites, then it might not be the right one for you.

Identifying Your Criteria to Help Find a Framework

So as we've seen, theme frameworks have plenty of benefits and a few potential pitfalls too. But not all frameworks are created equal, which is why it's important to know exactly what you need before choose. Here I'll outline some of the criteria that might apply, but remember that not all of these will apply to you and you may have your own that aren't on this list.

#1. Cost

Buying or subscribing to a premium framework will cost you money. If you're using it for a client site you'll be able to pass this expense on to your client, and if you're using it for multiple client sites you'll soon recoup what you've spent.

It will also cost you in terms of any time you spend learning how to use the framework, or it might save you time if the framework quickly speeds up your workflow. Over time this should certainly be the case. Any time will impact on your earning ability if you're freelance or running a small agency.

#2. Size

Some frameworks are huge while others are minimal. What you need from your framework will depend on your own coding abilities as well as the specific requirements of the projects you'll be using it for.

If you're a front-end developer with limited experience of PHP, you may need a sizable framework with options built in, while if you're happy to add your own code you might want something slimmer.

#3. Interface

Again what you require from the interface will depend on how you work. If you're more comfortable coding your own child themes and accessing the framework's API via hooks and functions, then the interface may well not be an issue for you - although it might be for your clients. On the other hand, if you want a framework that lets you customize your site visually, finding an interface that you find intuitive and easy to work with will be important.

#4. Coding Requirements

Frameworks with limited dashboard or design options will require you to write code if you want to add customizations and make your sites unique. Check how much of this you'll need to do and how that matches up with your skill level.

If you do choose a framework with coding requirements outside your level of ability, check that there is a community of developers so you can hire someone for this work. Remember that the support forums or service for any framework don't include writing bespoke code for you - you will have to pay for this.

#5. Extendability and APIs

For your framework to have the flexibility to power multiple projects now and in the future, you'll need one which you can extend via its API. Check the documentation or feature listings for your framework to find out how much you can customize it.

#6. Child Theme Availability

If you're a non-coder who wants to be able to build professional sites, you'll need access to a library of child themes for your framework, as you don't want all of your projects to be identical. Child themes might be available from the framework developer or vendor, or they might be available via third parties. If you can't find what you need for a given project, choosing a framework with a community of developers will make it easier to find someone to code a bespoke child theme for you.

#7. Responsiveness and Accessibility

There's no excuse for not making your sites responsive these days, and definitely no excuse for not making them accessible. Check that your chosen framework offers these features and the extent to which you can customize responsive page layouts.

#8. Support

Support can come from the theme developer or vendor, via forums or from a community of users and developers. It may cost extra or only be available to users on a more expensive subscription level. If support will be important to you, check these out before making your choice.

Free support may sound great but isn't always what it's cracked up to be. Take a look at the support forum for any framework with free support and check how quickly the developer tends to answer questions - if this isn't his or her livelihood, this may take longer. If you're working on a client site and need urgent support, you may wish you'd opted for a premium framework!

#9. Developer Community

If a framework has a large, active community, then that means you'll have access to support, advice and developers for hire. It also says something about the framework itself - if no-one's using it, how good can it be?

#10. Translation

If you'll be developing sites that need to support multiple languages, your framework will need to be translation-ready. This doesn't mean it will be translated, but that it will be coded using internationalization , enabling translation to take place.

#11. Your Personal Criteria

As I've said, your criteria will depend on individual circumstances - both your own and those of the project(s) you're using the framework to support. Take some time noting down the criteria that are important to you and then either rank them in order or give each of them a score out of ten. This will give you weightings you can use when assessing individual frameworks.

So now let's take a look at some frameworks! Below are reviews of eleven of the most popular frameworks right now. Their popularity and benefits will vary but each has its own features which may or may not be perfect for you.
Note: all costs and features are current at time of writing. I've included free frameworks first then moved on to premium ones.

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing a WordPress Theme Framework (Plus In-Depth Reviews)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Since I last reviewed WordPress frameworks two years ago, the nature of frameworks has evolved. My definition of a framework back then was a parent theme with an API and/or extensive customization options for non-coders. But things have changed. Not all frameworks are even themes now, let alone parent themes.

Earlier this week, I came up with this WordPress theme that caught my attention for its clean design. So, I decided to rebuild its version for Genesis Framework.

I'm glad to share with you the child theme and I've named it as "Raido Prime".

Please, click here to download the free Genesis child theme.

Note:

This is not a professionally designed child theme as such. Rather, it's meant for personal project. If you open up the files in the child theme, you'll know what I'm talking about.

However, I'm planning to add more features and update the theme in future.

Hope you find this useful. Don't forget to leave your comments incase you have any feedback on this theme.

As a WordPress website owner you've likely thought of tweaking your theme to make it appear to be unique, to add some custom functionality to it, or simply to try out different calls to action.

Fortunately, there is an easy way to modify your theme's design and functionality without worrying about losing your customizations: child themes. They allow you to preserve theme modifications and can even speed up your next WordPress development project.

With this in mind, in this post, we'll talk about what child themes are and how they work within the context of WordPress. Then, we'll walk you through a quick tutorial to show you how you can create and customize your own child theme - the right way.

Let's get started!

The Basics of WordPress Child Themes

A child theme is essentially a theme that automatically inherits the design and functionality of another theme which we'll call its parent theme.

When you activate a child theme on your website, WordPress will check to see if it has code for design or functionality in it. Since the functionality coded into the child theme overrides that of the parent theme, you'll see the child theme's design and functionality reflected on your website.

On the other hand, if the child theme doesn't contain any code for implementing or modifying existing functionality then WordPress will refer to the parent theme's files and apply those to your website.

Simply put, child themes are the themes that you add code to whenever you need to modify your theme's design or its functionality. Here are a few reasons why you'd want to use child themes:

Preserve modifications: The changes you make to your theme's files directly will be lost whenever your update the (parent) theme.

Organized code: Having separate files for custom code snippets will help you keep track of the modifications you make to your theme.

Speedy development: Child themes inherit functionality from their parent themes which eliminates the need to rewrite chunks of code and speeds up development time.

Now that you're familiar with what child themes are and why it's a good idea to use them in your next WordPress development project, let's take a look at how you can create your own.

How to Create a Child Theme in WordPress

Although most high-quality themes come with child themes right out of the box, it's a good idea to know how to create one manually in case yours doesn't or you've already used up the free child theme. The good news is that creating a child theme is super easy - even if you're not particularly technically inclined!

To get started, you'll need access to your site's cPanel (or an FTP client) and a text editor. For the purpose of this tutorial, I'll create a child theme for the Twenty Seventeen theme and create its files using cPanel.

Step 1: Create a New Theme Directory in Your WordPress Install

To kick things off, log in to your cPanel account (or FTP client) and navigate to your site's theme directory. It should be located in /wp-content/themes.

Next, create a new directory for the child theme and name it twentyseventeen-child. Giving the child theme the same name as the parent theme with a -child appended at the end is in line with the best practices.

Step 2: Create a style.css File for Your Child Theme

By now you should have an empty theme directory for the new child theme. In this step, we'll create a stylesheet for it and add some code in it that'll define its name and its parent theme. The code will also import the parent theme's style sheet to the child theme.

Note: If your theme has multiple style sheets (yes, that's entirely possible) then you'll have to add the corresponding code snippet given in the following step, too.

Open up the new child theme directory (i.e. /wp-content/themes/twentyseventeen-child), create a new file in it, and name it style.css.

Next, copy and paste the following lines of code into the style.css file:

//GITHUB LINK: https://gist.github.com/rafaysansari/2de2313474572bba84adff6e7ebfd659

/*
Theme Name: Twenty Seventeen Child
Theme URI: https://www.yourwebsite.com/twentyseventeen-child
Author: Rafay Saeed Ansari
Author URI: http://www.blogginc.com/
Description: My first child theme. Parent theme: Twenty Seventeen.
Version: 2.5.0
Template: twentyseventeen
Text Domain: twentyseventeen-child
Tags: green, light, white, gray, black, one-column, two-columns, right-sidebar, fluid-layout, responsive-layout, photoblogging, left-sidebar, translation-ready
*/
@import url("../twentyseventeen/style.css");

In the lines of code given above, the values for Theme Name and Template define the child theme's name and tell WordPress which theme to consider as the parent theme respectively. The @import line adds the parent theme's CSS rules to the child theme which means that when you activate the child theme to your website you'll be able to see both the content and its styling.

At this stage your child theme is (technically) ready to go. If you're only going to make stylistic changes to your site's theme then you can skip down to Step 4. However, if you think that you may need to modify your theme's functionality or add custom functionality to it then you'll need to add a functions.php file to your child theme's directory.

Step 3: Create a functions.php File for Your Child Theme

As a WordPress developer you might want to add some custom bits of functionality to your WordPress theme. However, if you modify or add custom code to your (parent) theme's functions.php file, the changes you make will be removed from the script whenever you update your theme to the latest version.

To preserve the changes you make to the functions.php file, we'll create a separate functions.php file for the child theme, as well. Head over to your child theme directory (i.e. /wp-content/themes/twentyseventeen-child), create a new file in it, and name it functions.php.

Next, copy and paste the following lines of code into the functions.php file:

//GITHUB LINK: https://gist.github.com/rafaysansari/66bcb59892740b515bdd813318729a8d

<?php
//* Add your code here

We've simply added the PHP open tags to the functions.php file in the code given above. Whenever you have to add custom functionality to your child theme all you have to do is add its code below the comment line (i.e. Line 2).

If your parent theme contains multiple style sheets then you'll have to use the wp_enqueue_style() function to add the style sheets to your child theme without slowing down your site. To do this, simply add the following lines of code to the functions.php file:

//GITHUB LINK: https://gist.github.com/rafaysansari/c521c1e614a149e6802382cb64fd7560

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_multiple_styles' );

function enqueue_multiple_styles() {
 wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' );
}

Step 4: Activate the Child Theme to Your Website

Now that our child theme is created and ready to go, let's activate it to our WordPress website and test it out. Log in to your site's admin panel and navigate to Appearance > Themes. The new child theme you created should be added to your list of installed themes.

Click the Activate button to activate the child theme.

Now, when you preview your site on the front-end, it should look exactly like it did when the parent theme was activated. This is because we imported the parent's theme's style sheet in Step 2.

A Note on Customizing Child Themes

Your child theme is installed and activated on your website which means that you can finally start customizing it! Here's a few different ways you can go about modifying your theme's design and functionality:

Add custom CSS styles

To begin adding custom CSS code to your child theme, simply head over to Appearance > Editor and add it there. You'll also be able to access the other files from this screen.

Play around with theme hooks

Action hooks will let you add custom functionality to your site's theme whereas with filter hooks you can modify existing functions.

Include template files

If you'd like to make large-scale modifications to your theme (such as by defining a new template) then you can create template files for your child theme following the same steps for creating the style.css and functions.php files.

Conclusion

Using child themes is the recommended way to make modifications to your WordPress website's theme. It allows you to eliminate the risk of losing customizations every time the parent theme updates and helps keep your custom code organized.

Let's quickly recap the main steps you need to follow to create a child theme:

1. Create a new theme directory in your WordPress install for the child theme.

2. Create a new style.css file and add it to the child theme's directory.

3. Optionally, you can create a functions.php file for your child theme.

4. Activate the child theme to your WordPress website and begin customizing it.

How to Create a Child Theme in WordPress (And Why You Should)

As a WordPress website owner you've likely thought of tweaking your theme to make it appear to be unique, to add some custom functionality to it, or simply to try out different calls to action.

In this guide, I will discuss about How to Create Child Theme in WordPress. Will also learn How WordPress Child Theme works and Why you should use a Child Theme in WordPress. You might know that using child theme is the most easiest and recommended way to modify/customize your WordPress theme without editing your original theme files. I will share two methods to Create Child Theme. First one would required some coding and manual work. And In second method I'll share two most reliable Child Theme Plugin for WordPress.

What is a Child Theme

First of all, you should understand what is a Child theme?

Child theme is a separate customized theme along with the functionality of parent theme. When I say customized theme, that means you can build a customized theme based on an existing theme. Add new styles or change functionalities as per your requirement without losing or editing the core files of parent theme.

How Child Theme Works in WordPress

When you create a child theme and activate it, WordPress first check the child theme for styles and functionality. If WordPress did not find the necessary theme files in child theme, than it look into the parent theme for necessary files.

Suppose, if your child theme has a customized "index.php" file, WordPress will use the same instead of using "index.php" form parent theme.

And if "index.php" file did not exist in the child theme folder, WordPress will use the file from parent theme folder.

Isn't this the great functionality? You only need to customize what you want.

Why You Should Use a Child Theme in WordPress

Every individual like you and me, who own a website, treats it as a valuable asset. And for most of us, blogging is one of our source of income, you can correct me if I am wrong.

We always wanted to have the flexibility to build our website as per our requirement and choice. Child theme gives us that freedom without compromising the risk of losing parent theme functionality and security.

Furthermore, There are few reasons why you should use a child theme,

You can customize your parent theme directly, but when you update your theme, all customization will be lost.

Even if you want to customize small piece of code, I recommend you to use a child theme. As it gives you the freedom to update you theme without losing your customized code.

And secondly, as you are not going to mess-up with the core theme files by using a child theme. At any time, you can go back to parent theme without any hesitation.

In this Modern age, technologies are emerging day by day and so does increasing the risk of using technology. WordPress releases new versions in every six months with improved functionality, fixing of bugs and with more security.

So, our website theme should also be aligned with new version of WordPress. And that is why theme development companies or individuals releases required theme updates with new security patches and functionalities.

Therefore, You should update your theme and plugins on regular basis to avoid WordPress compatibility errors and because you are using a child theme, your current design and functionality will be the same.

How to Create Child Theme in WordPress

Here, I will share two commonly used methods to Create Child Theme in WordPress. One without plugin and one with plugin.

Method #1

Create Child Theme in WordPress without plugin

In order to Create Child Theme in WordPress without plugin, you only need to create two files i.e. style.css and functions.php in Child theme directory/folder.

1. Create a new theme folder in your themes directory "/wp-content/themes". And rename it i.e. motive-child (your_parent_theme_name-child; replace your_parent_theme_name with your parent theme name. In this example parent theme name is motive).

2. Create a new stylesheet in the child theme folder (i.e. motive-child) and rename it to css. Copy and paste following code in style.css file.

/*--------------------
Theme Name: Motive Child
Theme URI: https://your-domain.com/motive-child/
Description: Motive Child Theme
Author: Johnson
Author URI: https://abc-domain.com
Template: motive
Version: 0.6
Tags: single-columns, red, black, responsive
--------------------*/

/*-------------------- custom css below --------------------*/

You do not need to write all the details mentioned in the above given code, WordPress only requires Theme Name (name of your child theme) and Template (name of your parent theme). Description, Author, Version, Tags are optional you can add or skip these details, it is up to you.

1. Finally you need to call the stylesheet and other files of your parent theme, so create a new file in the child theme folder (i.e. motive-child) and rename it to functions.php

2. Now call the parent theme stylesheet in your child theme by using the following code in functions.php

<?php
//
function tn_theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}

add_action ( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'tn_theme_enqueue_styles' );

//
// Your code goes below
//

And you are done. You have successfully created a child theme. Go to the WordPress dashboard, look for Appearance>Themes and you will find your new child theme "motive-child". Activate it and check, it should work properly.

You will notice that your child theme does not appear with a screenshot in the theme panel ( Appearance>Themes) but your original theme does have a sample screenshot. You can also add any image or your websites screenshot into your child theme. Upload an image or screenshot in child theme folder (i.e. motive-child) and rename it to " screenshot.png ", now your child theme will also appear with your uploaded image.

Now you can customize most of the files of your parent theme, i.e. header.php, footer.php, single.php, sidebar.php, index.php, loop.php, includes/authorbox.php etc. by copying the parent theme file in child theme folder.

Just copy and paste the original theme file i.e. single.php into your child theme folder and customize it as per your need. Make sure you are using the right path, if you want to customize authorbox.php and this file exist in a separate folder i.e. includes/authorbox.php in parent theme folder, you need to create the same folder in child theme folder and copy the original file.

Method #2

Child Theme Plugin - Create Child Theme in WordPress with Plugin

If you are a beginner, I would recommend you to use a WordPress plugin to avoid errors. There are plenty of Child Theme plugins available on WordPress, I would recommend you to use plugin called One-Click Child Theme.

This tiny Child Theme Plugin is really simple and easy to use. It Create Child Theme in WordPress in just one click. It can also copy other parent theme files in one click only. And it also have the functionality to capture a screenshot of your website and set it as your child theme image. See how it works in the below given pictures.

Your step by step guide to Create Child Theme in WordPress with Plugin

Install and activate One-Click Child Theme WordPress Plugin from WP Repository.

Go the the Dashboard > Appearance > Child Theme.

Now enter your child theme name, enter description, author name and click on the Create Child button. See below image for steps.

Plugin will create a child theme, activate it and redirect you to themes panel as show in the below given image. It will also display a message that "Theme switched! Click here to edit the child stylesheet."

There is another popular Child Theme Plugin called WP Child Theme Generator is available on WordPress Plugin Directory for free. You can give that a try too.

Hope you like this guide, don't forget to share it and let us know your feedback in the comments section below. Have a great day and good luck with your child theme and WordPress customization.

Mis à jour le 23 février 2017 ::

Voici le premier volet d'une longue série sur le Framework de thème Genesis. Nous verrons des principes de base, en passant dans les réglages du back-office jusqu'à la conception d'un thème sur mesure.
Genesis est un Framework de thème

Le framework Genesis est conçu par la société StudioPress. Celle-ci conçoit des thèmes Premium. Son créateur Brian Gardner, fut un des premiers concepteurs de thème premium. Genesis est le passage obligé si vous voulez utiliser un thème gratuit ou payant qui repose sur ce framework. Genesis est vendu 59$. Il pourra être utilisé de manière illimitée dans la durée et pour le nombre de sites

Sur le site officiel de StudioPress, il est précisé que tous les thèmes StudioPress reposent sur le framework Genesis. Un lien dédié décrit les avantages de Genesis.

D'abord je vais éclaircir la notion de Framework. Un framework est pour simplifier un cadre de travail (c'est la traduction littérale). De nombreux frameworks existent dans des langages multiples. Dans notre cas, c'est une structure de base qui va nous servir pour installer ou concevoir des thèmes WordPress. Et comme c'est un cadre de travail, tous les thèmes reposeront sur la même structure de base. Du coup, vous gagnez énormément de temps sur plusieurs points:

le HTML est toujours le même

les classes sont toujours les mêmes

le framework est audité régulièrement par Mark Jacquith

quand le coeur (le framework) se met à jour votre thème fonctionne toujours

Après avoir plusieurs mauvaises expériences sur la modification de thème premium, j'ajouterai ces points suivants:

Genesis est tout sauf une usine à Gaz qui ajoute des fonctions dans tous les sens. Le framework s'accorde toujours au plus des fonctions par défaut de WordPress. Les fonctions ajoutées dans le back-office sont très minimalistes

Dès le début, une communauté (dont je fais partie pour la traduction en français) a veillé à rendre Genesis international quasiment dès le début. C'est Remkus De Vries qui centralise désormais les traductions avec son plug-in Genesis Translation

Au final, tous les thèmes qui reposent sur Genesis sont des thèmes enfants. Ils ont besoin d'avoir le framework installé pour fonctionner.

Genesis au quotidien

Les options d'un thème qui repose sur Genesis sont globalement toujours les mêmes. Genesis veillera toujours à utiliser les fonctions natives de WordPress sans ajouter des pages d'options à rallonge qui font que votre thème premium devient une usine à gaz.

Réglages du thème

Pour la gestion des contenus principaux de votre site. Des menus en passant par le fil d'Ariane jusqu'au code Google Analytics à intégrer. Vous y retrouverez:

Des options de mise en page

Des options pour le fil d'Ariane quand votre thème le supporte

Une gestion centralisée des commentaires

Une préférence pour toutes vos archives

Un modèle de blog avec option

Des champs pour insérer vos scripts

Mise à jour

Genesis se met à jour en un clic. Du coup votre thème qui reposera sur Genesis sera également mis à jour. Vous aurez au final un thème qui suivra très facilement les évolutions de WordPress sans encombre.

Construire son thème sur Genesis

Tous les thèmes qui sont construits avec Genesis sont des thèmes enfants. Ils dépendent d'un parent et celui-ci, dans les cas, c'est Genesis. Autrement, si Genesis n'est pas installé parmi votre dossier thème, votre thème ne fonctionnera pas.

Une fois que l'on a acquis Genesis, dans votre compte StudioPress (accessible à l'adresse suivante: my.studiopress.com), vous aurez accès au téléchargement de Genesis Framework et du thème Genesis Sample. Ce dernier est un thème de base pour construire votre propre thème.

Ajouter du HTML

Parmi les points qui font gagner du temps, une question a fait sans doute surface " Si le HTML et les classes sont toujours les mêmes comment personnaliser son site ". Cette question revient souvent.
En fait, Genesis permet d'injecter à de très nombreux endroits des extraits plus ou moins longs de HTML. Pour preuve, cet outil fantastique Visual Hook Guide créé par Christopher. Cela correspond entre autres à toutes les zones où nous pouvons ajouter du contenu.

Supprimer du HTML

Vous pouvez supprimer très facilement du HTML en utilisant des fonctions (c'est plus propre) ou en utilisant les CSS.

Modifier les CSS

Genesis ne permet pas facilement de modifier les classes CSS à part sur les éléments que vous allez ajouter. Par contre, celles-ci sont très bien conçues et comme elles sont toujours identiques, votre workflow est optimisé.

Ajouter des nouveaux modèles de page

Genesis s'accorde parfaitement avec la hiérarchie d'un thème WordPress. En respectant ces principes, vous pouvez ajouter autant de modèles que nécessaire à votre thème. Tout le jeu s'effectuera ensuite avec des filtrages de fonctions ou de marqueur HTML que vous pourrez contrôler avec les fonctions natives de Genesis.

Comment avant goût, voici un modèle pour des single d'un custom post type particulier. L'exemple en ligne se trouve sur le site very french trip.

Dans cet extrait que nous apprendrons à construire, je supprime plusieurs données basiques de page pour ajouter mes propres éléments. La partie la plus importante est le genesis() que vous placez à la fin. C'est lui qui appellera toutes les fonctions intégrées dans le Framework.

Témoignage

De Bill Erikson dans un article de CodePoet

There's a lot of great theme frameworks and base themes out there. StudioPress has done a great job building a community of developers and users around Genesis. Many top Genesis developers (including me) have access to the private GitHub repo where Genesis is developed. This allows us to submit tickets, write patches, and discuss the future of Genesis. With more than half of the developers not employed by StudioPress, Genesis is an active, open source project developed by its community of users.

En résumé, Genesis a beau être un framework payant, il est complètement GPL et une communauté très active le supporte bénévolement.

WordPress starter themes and frameworks differ from one another, but they both speed up the development process of building new themes and websites. They're hallmarks of WordPress' open-source nature, giving developers head starts in creating new products.

They make it easier for novice developers to learn how to develop themes, and they make it quicker for experienced developers to develop new themes and frameworks. Some frameworks even make designing and building websites easier for inexperienced users.

What are Starter Themes?

Starter themes are as basic as you can get in terms of theme development, aside from starting from scratch. They typically come with WordPress core files and functions, such as template tags, hooks, filters and more. They may even include a bit of HTML and CSS, but not much else.

Using starter themes comes with a number of different benefits. Experienced developers can save time by having these basic yet necessary bits and pieces already prepared for them. They can also help experienced developers who are inexperienced with WordPress codex develop their first WordPress projects.

There are downsides to using starter themes, however. They aren't "real" themes, so updating them with a simple click of a button is not an option. You'll be required to keep the code and files up to date manually, which may be a hassle for some. They're also not the best options for inexperienced users as extensive coding knowledge is required to create finished products with them.

In short, starter themes should be used by experienced and aspiring developers who want to create complete themes or theme frameworks.

What are Theme Frameworks?

Theme frameworks extend the functionality of starter themes well enough for a larger pool of users to use them to create finished websites. They're typically shipped with the hard code all finished. All users need to do style them.

Theme frameworks come in a variety of different forms. Some are parent themes you can purchase or create child themes for. Some are completed parent themes you can style by importing "demo content" and tweaking a few settings in the live customizer or built-in framework interface. Others come with a page builder plugin anyone can use to design and build their very own website.

They don't allow you to be as creative as you could be if you hard coded everything yourself, but they do make it much easier to build completed websites. This makes easier for inexperienced users to use WordPress to build their own websites. It can also make professional developers more productive, and the page building plugins make it possible for developers to hand off certain responsibilities to their clients, such as changing the homepage of an eCommerce site to suit a sale or product launch.

In short, theme frameworks work best when you need to build a website and don't want to spend time coding everything yourself or don't have the necessary skills to do so.

Underscores, or _s, is one of the most popular starter themes available for WordPress. It was developed by the team at Automattic. It's a bare bones starter theme, only featuring a few minimalist templates and CSS layouts.

Get Headway Themes
Divi is a theme powered by a drag-and-drop page builder plugin called the Divi Builder. It's one of those frameworks any user can use as it comes with pre-made content you can import and a drag-and-drop/"click-and-type" interface.

Avada is another theme framework powered by a page builder plugin. This one's called the Fusion Builder, a live drag-and-drop editor you can use on the frontend of your website. This theme also comes with over 50 demos you can import to speed up the development process.

Get PageLines

Get Themify
Final Thoughts

Deciding where to start in the development process can be intimidating, but making the decision is much easier when you take your skills, deadline and requirements into consideration. For instance, if you're experienced in web design and would like to design your first theme or theme framework, you're better off picking one of the WordPress starter themes, such as Underscores or Sage.

You should also pick a starter theme if you need to use WordPress to build a custom website that doesn't use features easily found in ready-to-use themes, such as a content-heavy site that uses progress bars on articles or a website that's highly interactive.

If you're on a strict deadline and have no need for unique features, you're better off going with a theme framework, such as Genesis, Thesis, Gantry or Beans. If you're not experienced in web design or will be required to hand over a few site management responsibilities to an inexperienced client, you'll find the powerful page building features of Divi, Beaver Builder and Avada quite useful.

The title may strike you as a bit ominous, but fear not. Underscores, our popular starter theme for WordPress theme development, isn't going anywhere. As we continue to push for consistency in themes and imagine what they might become with Gutenberg, we're bringing our attention back to Underscores. 🚀 For the last year and a half, we've ... Continue reading "The Future of Underscores and A New Committer"

When we think of space flight, we often think of the thing that gets us there: the shuttle, module or rockets that take us out of this world.

However, in the early days of space flight programs at NASA, one man realized how important control from the ground would be to quickly evolving missions. Christopher Kraft pioneered the creation of Mission Control, the place where dozens of engineers, scientists and staff on the ground assist the astronauts in carrying out their mission from thousands of miles away.

About the Flight Director, the person in charge of Mission Control, Kraft said:

[T]he guy on the ground ultimately controls the mission. There's no question about that in my mind or in the astronauts' minds. They are going to do what he says.

The notion of Mission Control makes a good metaphor for a WordPress theme. Themes sit at the center of the WordPress experience. They run the show. WordPress is the ship and rockets that get us there. Without a theme, the mission won't be successful. Sure, at its core, WordPress is publishing software, but many more people interact with the front end of a site than its back end.

So how do we start thinking of themes as an experience, rather than part of the experience?

Design how the pieces fit together. Most themers see the parts of a theme experience as separate. I did too, until recently. When I say separate, I mean as different parts of one flow. We often create the theme and the documentation with little thought as to how customers get from the theme to the help text when they need it. We also don't spend time on onboarding or setup with customers. All that matters though, and it can help get a customer to success and make them feel like a success. We need to pay more attention to how those parts connect for a better experience.

Be consistent. Themes in WordPress have this great strength because they can do nearly anything. Their biggest weakness? They can do nearly anything. This means how a theme behaves can vary widely from one to the next. We've tried to address this in projects like Underscores and the TUX (Themes User Experience) list, but you can never do enough. I'd like to see themes only vary greatly from the norm if it accomplishes an important design goal for the customer.

Mind the internals. Recently, we had our support team at WordPress.com share why themes frustrate our customers. So much of the frustrations boil down to what a customer might not have control over in a typical theme. Things like how an image is cropped or how WordPress Core handles some default data. Experimenting with how these types of things work for your customers can mean they're happier in the end.

If you make these items a bigger part of your theme design process, you'll have more control over your theme's experience. And your customer's missions will have a greater chance of success.

On WordPress.com, one thing we've been focusing on is making themes that just work. It's a bit of a balancing act; it's very tempting to allow customers to control every aspect of their theme, because it seems like the simplest way to give them what they want.

That idea may sound great to customers, but having panels of options in the Customizer and an armload of documentation to figure them out is daunting. You can change things, but you're also faced with making dozens of small, similar decisions about various aspects of your site, and deciphering the purpose of various controls.

It is true that in WordPress themes, some options are necessary. When designing and building a theme, it's important to distinguish what options fit the actual intent of the design, and what options are being added for the sake of adding them.

You can often figure out which is which by tracking common pain points.

One way to do this is through support requests. On WordPress.com, we have a dedicated, talented team of Happiness Engineers who interact with customers every day. As Gary Murray wrote in a recent post, support teams are an important link between our work and our customers, and an invaluable wealth of information.

For themes, the support requests often involve how to set up a theme or use different options (which is why making themes that just work from the get-go is important). But other requests have to do with customizing a theme in specific ways. Some are unique to a customer's specific goals; others come up again and again from different customers, either in the same theme or across several different themes.

In the Ixion theme, we recently added an option to control the opacity of the overlay used on front page photos, after several customers asked about changing or removing it.

One purpose of the dark overlay is to ensure the text on top is legible against the photo. But if you're starting with a photo that's already pretty dark, the overlay isn't needed and can make it hard to distinguish details in the photo. We were able to add this option while maintaining the original appearance, so customers who weren't troubled by the opacity didn't know the change happened.

Another feature that came from frequent customer requests was Content Options. A brainchild of Thomas Guillot, Content Options are a way for customers to make small visual changes on their site, like hiding the date, author name, or featured images. Rather than adding the options to individual themes, it's a feature available in Jetpack and WordPress.com that themes can support. That way, the options are available in several themes and implemented exactly the same way.

Both additions were guided by the goal of keeping things simple, balanced with following actual customer requests.

When looking at adding options to a theme, there are a few things that can help to keep things simpler:

First, aim to make a theme that just works on activation. If the design's not possible without multiple options, rethink it. If options are necessary to get the theme to work well with different kinds of content, find a way to make the theme more forgiving instead. Make the theme do as much work as it can by itself.

In a similar vein, make the theme make the decision. You could allow customers to switch a sidebar position, or make the header sticky, but unless it's a very common request it's best left out. Chances are, one option looks best and makes the most sense for the theme you're building - use that one.

Use existing WordPress functionality rather than custom options. I don't mean stretch the options beyond their original intent, just don't reinvent the wheel. For example, look to use the custom header image or featured images in the theme before adding another image upload option to the Customizer.

When adding options, rethink your approach to customization. Alright, you've discovered your customers can't live without being able to change their header's layout. Rather than having separate controls to move each individual item - logo, header image, menu, social links, site title - is there another way to approach this? Aim for simpler, more opinionated controls to limit the decisions customers have to make. Basically, make your options smart.

Last but never least, user test, talk to your customers, and work directly with them when you can. They'll help guide you to that point where your themes can help them feel empowered, but not overwhelmed.

Every few months I read a post about how the WordPress theme business has shrunk. The authors always reach a similar conclusion. Sales have dwindled. Competition has increased. Putting food on the table, finding a niche and standing out is near impossible.

It may not be so impossible though. With a new editing interface on the horizon, the theme landscape will change in a big way. That editing interface, and eventually better site customization, means we (those who create themes) will all have a chance to redefine what a theme is and means to people who use WordPress. It will be new, fertile ground to discover - the next chapter for themes. We just can't make the same mistakes we've made before.

A long time ago, especially in Internet years, you could sell a collection of well-designed WordPress themes and make a living. These became known in the WordPress space as premium themes. What made them "premium" was loosely defined. They often sported a unique look or carried interesting features. As a consumer, premium themes always seemed more special to me. They took risks. That runs against what we say on the Theme Team at WordPress.com, where we do nothing but create WordPress themes: The only difference between a free theme and a premium one is the price.

As more and more theme shops sprang up, the feature race began. Many themes became as complex as WordPress itself. Designers and developers had less time to experiment because we spent more time glancing over our shoulders. What's the next trend? What's this other theme shop doing?

To correct for the complexity, the larger theme ecosystem became obsessed with standards. Like making sure a theme did things the WordPress way or always met "best practices." The web industry as a whole also continues to obsess over and rely on build tools and frameworks, sometimes to a fault. They should solve technical hurdles for us. But do they? Sometimes they do at the expense of our customers. Make no mistake, I'm not arguing against best practices or tools. We do the same thing. However, the status quo, even if it means well, can blind you to what's important.

What's important, you ask? Our customers. Doing the invisible things that make their experience its best. Focusing on accessibility, performance and security. Making sure the the small screens look just as good as the large screens. Gutenberg, the project name for the new editing interface, will make one theme become many. A customer using a theme will be able to bend it many different ways - turning the focal point of the theme from its capabilities to its design.

Customers want their sites to look just right. They don't want to learn a theme. So when the new age of themes begins, promise me you'll focus on what they want. You won't get distracted by the many different ways to extend this new editor or become mired in all the ways to prevent the abuse of customizing it.

This matters. Your customers need you. And you'll stand out and put more food on your table.

At this year's WordCamp Europe, some members of the WordPress.org support team brainstormed how we might be able to share support skills and strategies with the broader WordPress community. We decided to offer some workshops to share support knowledge, and the first one - by yours truly - has been announced. Details are below.

Hope to see you there!

Update: The recording, slides, and notes are available.

The Developer's Guide to Supporting Your Themes

Providing support for your themes offers tremendous opportunities to educate WordPress users, from explaining how to make a child theme to offering simple CSS customizations. It also presents challenges, like figuring out how to help people who aren't tech-savvy or need support beyond the scope of what you can provide. While many developers dread doing support, with some concrete strategies and techniques in hand, helping users doesn't have to be a chore - and can even be fun! This session looks at how to make your themes' users happy while feeling a sense of satisfaction from your own support efforts - a winning combination in the world of theme development.

When

Wednesday, August 23, 2017, 16:00 UTC. It will last for an hour and include Q&A.

How

The session will be run via videoconference and will be recorded and posted later for those who can't make it. Please download the free Zoom app ahead of time. You can run Zoom on most desktop and mobile devices.

A link to the Zoom teleconference will be provided in the #forums WordPress.org Slack channel about 10 minutes before the session begins.

Who

In her role as Theme Whisperer on the Theme Team at Automattic, Kathryn Presner provides support for hundreds of themes. She began helping people as a volunteer in the WordPress.org forums back in 2011 and was immediately hooked.

The title may strike you as a bit ominous, but fear not. Underscores, our popular starter theme for WordPress theme development, isn't going anywhere. As we continue to push for consistency in themes and imagine what they might become with Gutenberg, we're bringing our attention back to Underscores. 🚀

For the last year and a half, we've experimented with a new starter-theme generator called Components. It was a way to make a few different theme "types" comprised of different components. The starter themes born from it brought with them more code and styles, and gave theme authors a bigger head start in their work. The generator we built to piece the different components together got complex quickly, though. We created a plugin to test builds locally and struggled with a seamless way to make many starter themes from one code base.

We learned a lot, though. We worked on Components at two team meetups, made almost 900 commits to the project and launched dozens of themes with it. However, we hit a point where we realized we had over-engineered parts of the project. The original idea is still solid: make starter themes do more by crafting them out of building blocks. But we didn't hit the mark, so we're retiring Components, and looking to bring some of what we learned there to Underscores.

In the last year, we've gotten a lot of questions from the community about Underscores and whether we had abandoned it. No way! It's a stable project, and we enjoyed working on something new, away from it. It gave us better perspective and more ideas for the future of Underscores.

We also know that involvement from the community is vital. It's been a while since we added our first contributor external to Automattic. To that end, we've given long-time Underscores contributor Ulrich Pogson commit access. He's also a contributor to WordPress, most frequently as a member of the Theme Review Team. We're excited to have his expertise and passion for world-class themes as part of the project. Please join me in welcoming Ulrich! 🎉

It's always hard to let go of a project, in this case, Components. But it shouldn't be, when you walk away with more knowledge than before. It has us excited and reinvigorated about Underscores and its role in the future of theming. And we're glad Ulrich will help us along the way!

Meet Dara, a beautiful new theme crafted by Caroline Moore, now available for download via WordPress.org. Dara has its roots in a popular theme called Sela. Caroline tells the story of how one theme led to another:

Sela, designed and developed by the Automattic Theme Team's Ola Bodera, remains one of our most popular themes - and for good reason! It has a softer, sweeter quality not often seen in business themes.

With Dara, I wanted to refine the user experience and include some of the things Sela users regularly asked for; moving the social links closer to the top, for example, or replacing the static image in the hero area with a slider.

As someone who hangs out in the crafty space, I see Sela and Dara as perfect for small businesses and entrepreneurs who want a softer look for their sites, but the themes' flexibility and attention to detail make them lovely for personal blogs as well.

Dara supports several handy features for business users, like testmonials that let you highlight customer feedback - available through Jetpack's Custom Content Types module.

Now available through Jetpack, Content Options let users make small visual changes, like showing or hiding the author, date, featured images, and more.

Last August, we introduced a new WordPress.com Customizer panel called Content Options, which gives users an easy way to make small visual modifications across their sites - no custom CSS needed.

Content Options supports four main features: Blog Display, Author Bio, Post Details, and Featured Images.

Content Options are now available to self-hosted WordPress sites with the latest version of Jetpack (4.5). Theme developers can add support for Content Options by following the Jetpack guide.

Let's look at the main features of Content Options in more detail.

Blog Display

Users can choose between displaying the full content of each post or an excerpt on the blog and category, tag, and date archive pages, as well as search results.
Default Blog Display
If a theme displays either an excerpt or the full post depending on the post's post format, theme developers can add a "Default" blog display option to let the theme keep its default blog display settings. For example, by default a theme might always displays posts with the Quote post format as the full post, so a quote is never truncated, while other post formats like Standard might be always displayed as an excerpt.

Author Bio

WordPress.com users have loved the flexibility Content Options gives them. We're very pleased that self-hosted sites can now benefit as well!

We have three Automattic-made themes now available on WordPress.org.

Rebalance is a fresh take on the classic Imbalance 2 theme. Designed by Mel Choyce and developed by Allan Cole, Rebalance is a contemporary portfolio theme for photographers, artists, and graphic designers looking to showcase their work, and features an elegant Masonry grid for displaying both blog posts and Jetpack portfolio projects.

Another Mel Choyce-designed creation, Karuna is a clean business theme crafted with health and wellness-focused sites in mind. With bright, bold colors, prominent featured images, and support for customer testimonials via Jetpack, your business's brand is sure to shine with Karuna, which was developed by Caroline Moore.

Child theme Sidespied puts a new spin on Espied, a classic portfolio theme. Created by Tammie Lister, Sidespied shows off photos and images of all kinds in a clean grid layout.

I've used Vagrant for more than a year now and although it was crashing from time to time, I always managed to get it working again. Not last week. I don't what happened, but enough was enough - I decided to pull the plug and look for a better alternative.

I thought about switching back to MAMP, as my needs are pretty straightforward. At the same time, I was also on the lookout for something a bit more modern, something that would allow me to use a custom *.dev URL like Vagrant and share my local site to the world without a headache. That's when I found Laravel Valet (or Valet for short).

Valet is a Laravel development environment for Mac minimalists. No Vagrant, No Apache, No Nginx, No `/etc/hosts file`. You can even share your sites publicly using local tunnels.

It's so easy I wish I'd switched to it a few months ago when it was initially released.

Don't get me wrong - Vagrant is still great for big development environments. But for my own simple WordPress needs, Valet is the perfect tool which I would highly recommend to fellow WordPress developers.

How to install?

The official documentation and the article written by Tom McFarlin on TutsPlus are both really clear, but I'll share my own process in case you'd like to try it.

1. Install Homebrew

Install Homebrew:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

2. Update Homebrew

Once installed, make sure you have the latest version of all the packages using brew update.

If you get an error, you probably need to update your .bash_profile. From the terminal, enter sudo nano .bash_profile. It will open the file. Add the following line to it:

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

Save and close ( ctrl+X, Y then enter). Let's make sure we reload the new file now with source .bash_profile in the terminal.

3. Install PHP 7.0 and MariaDB

We need to install PHP 7.0 using Homebrew:

brew install homebrew/php/php70

We also need to install a database:

brew install mariadb

4. Install Composer

Valet requires Composer to work. If you don't have it installed on your computer, run this in your terminal to get the latest Composer version:

php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php -r "if (hash_file('SHA384', 'composer-setup.php') === 'aa96f26c2b67226a324c27919f1eb05f21c248b987e6195cad9690d5c1ff713d53020a02ac8c217dbf90a7eacc9d141d') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
php composer-setup.php
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

5. Install Valet

First of all, we need to make sure we can install Valet.

From the terminal, enter sudo nano .bash_profile. Once the file is open, add a new line to it:

export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin"

Save and close the file ( ctrl+X, Y then enter). Reload the new file with source .bash_profile in the terminal.

Now we can continue our installation:

composer global require laravel/valet

Once it's done you will see a success message like so: Writing lock file. Generating autoload files.

Now we need to finalize the installation of Valet:

valet install

After a moment you should get a Valet installed successfully! message.

That's it. Valet is installed and is running.

6. Using Valet

To start using Valet, you need to "park" it. Go to a folder containing all you sites, e.g. cd /Sites/, and simply type valet park. From now on, all the folders inside this Site folder will get a .dev URL. So for example, a folder named MyAwesomeWordPressSite will be accessible from http://myawesomewordpresssite.dev.

I downloaded the latest version of WordPress and created a new folder called... WordPress. So when I type wordpress.dev in my browser I'm being redirected to my WordPress site. On the first launch, you will have to install WordPress the same way you'd do on a server.

WordPress: The first launch

First of all, we need to start the MySQL server so in your terminal just enter mysql.server start. This step is pretty much the equivalent of vagrant up. You will have to do it every time you want to work. To turn it off just enter mysql.server stop (just like vagrant halt).

Then you will need a MySQL database.

In the terminal, run: ( whatever is the name of our database here)

mysql -uroot
CREATE DATABASE whatever;
exit

If you prefer a GUI, I would recommend Sequel Pro to create and manage my databases. It's free and it has a simple interface.

Name: Valet (can be anything)
Host: 127.0.0.1
Username: root
Password: leave it blank!

Now we can proceed with the WordPress installation.

If you run into an error like Fatal error: Uncaught phpmailerException: Invalid address: wordpress@ we need to update the WordPress driver. In the terminal run:

sudo nano ~/.composer/vendor/laravel/valet/cli/drivers/WordPressValetDriver.php

Add within frontControllerPath:

$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] = $siteName.'.dev';

Save and close the file ( ctrl+X, Y then enter).

And that's it... You're done.

WordPress Trunk

You can also have a Trunk version of WordPress. Just create a new folder (still in Sites), e.g. WordPress-Trunk, and checkout WordPress.

cd /Sites/WordPress-Trunk
svn co https://develop.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/src/ .

So every time you want to update this install all you need to do is:

cd /Sites/WordPress-Trunk/src/
svn up

If you now go to http://wordpress-trunk.dev, you will see an error 404 because Valet doesn't understand it's a WordPress site. No worries. You just need to link the src folder to Valet (where the actual WordPress site is).

cd /Sites/WordPress-Trunk/src/
valet link

Now you can access Trunk via http://src.dev. As it's not ideal as a URL let's rename it to http://trunk-wordpress.dev:

mv ~/.valet/Sites/src ~/.valet/Sites/trunk-wordpress

Et voilà! You can access you freshly downloaded WordPress Trunk install in your browser with http://trunk-wordpress.dev.
