A lot of beginners encounter all sort of tutorials on how to add some custom code to the functions.php
file or even more basic: change the layout beyond what the customizer allows.
Aspects
In this workshop, I introduce WordPress beginners to some good standards in terms of customisation.
- Choosing a plugin that allows custom CSS (like Jetpack and Simple Custom CSS)
- Setting up a child theme
- Adding custom CSS to that child theme or through the plugin
- Adding custom PHP to the child theme
