I can't believe this series is 10 years old. While a lot has changed in WordPress over the years the core concepts remain the same and I hope this series is helpful in your learning journey. For anyone who is curious, my recommendation for hosting your WordPress website is DreamHost and specifically their "Shared Unlimited" yearly plan (the exact plan I've used for 19 years). If you use my link to DreamHost it helps support my TH-cam channel and costs you nothing extra: click.dreamhost.com/aff_c?offer_id=109&aff_id=17231
This is the best out there in internet. Been looking for it since ages, but all i found was just some little info about meta data used i already knew. Will always be thankful for finding this video. Thanks a lot for saving me!
I haven't tried other tutorials, but judging by the comments in all the videos yours are the best ones. I'm very lucky I landed on yours right away. So thorough and very understandable. I'm enjoying the process of building the site step-by-step even though I sometimes spend a couple of days trying to figure out where a mistake lies. Thank you Brad!!
This is the best tutorial. I find your technical communication to be spot on. I'm almost all the way through your series, working and learning as I go, and thus far this is the most comprehensive yet noob-friendly tutorial series on ground-up php for WordPress. Everyone could stand to learn a lot from the way you introduce and walk through the content. Thank you so much for doing this series.
I would have never come up with that in a thousand years. Constantly being amazed by how simple WordPress is to manipulate. Manipulation being done by a well equipped manipulator who has categoric time on his hands. Timely manipulation now being shown on the manipulated posts, .. that have been categorically filtered through a basic function of revered manipulation, and after watching that functionality being drawn out like it was: then I know for a fact that I'll never be a manipulating programmer. This morose moribund manikin, .. is absolutely amazed by what can be done with a few lines of well placed code in the hands of a master manipulator. Everyone: - these categorical courses are highly recommend for anyone else out there wanting to know more about timely Themed interventions. I've learned more in an hour: than the last preceding days that found the moribund bumpkin stumbling blindly over these well hidden tutorials. - More comments will raise their profiles. Praise worthy comments at that.
Great tutorial ! But when i open the codes in firefox(at the end of this tutorial) it renders fine(for date,author, posted,etc with small letters and dark light color, same as in this tutorial) but when i open the same link with same code in chrome it does not not render as in firefox? Any suggestion why this is happening?
When I use the function get_category_link($category->term_id), all the categories becomes links but when i click on them, a page shows up where it says No content found. 11:00 - 12:00 in the video.. please help me i'm stuck
your lesson are amazing but for this one if may I suggest an update. Wordpress has become easier I guess so I solved the problem in just one line I hope I'm not wrong. | by | Posted in I hope it will be useful for people like me the are just at the beginning. thanks again for your work.
Your tutorials are awesome, and I don't say that lightly. I'm leaning FAST and implementing my new knowledge by building themes and plugins for my own websites. THANKS!!!
I have watched your each and every tutorials more than 10times, really I have learned many things. Thank you so much to expend you valuable times to make all great tutorials.
Thank you very much for these awesome tutorials. You are an outstanding teacher and I am so grateful you have shared your knowledge. I am learning fast. 😊
great Brad. Got the answer from your old lecture. BTW surely will work, but the given example works great when you're using the output for Javascript and classes.
I've found that the comma isn't being trimmed. It seems that the $seperator =", " is adding something to the end of it - pssibly nbsp. Changing trim($output, $seperator) to trim($output, ', ') removes it even though $seperator = ", ";
These are the best WordPress Development tutorials I have come across. I have been trying to learn WP for almost a year and this is by far the best playlist on TH-cam. One thing... my category links aren't going anywhere almost like i have # as the reference, but I have the code the way it should be. Also author link not showing in the tool bar, but I also only have one author so that may be common in that case. I have two posts with two different categories. I just cant get them to show alone on a category page, the link is either broken or the function is obsolete. Can you help please? Many many thanks!
Hey! Love your videos. I am actually building my website on the foundation of your videos. I was hoping to ask how you can add the comment section on your posts? Also, I wanted to add a plugin that enables share buttons within every post but I believe that there is a hook that enables plugins to work for posts specifically. Your reply will be greatly appreciated!
Hi Brad. I am creating project theme of a friend. I just want to clarify on linking and outputting category. As I had observed the codes works just fine without doing what you did in this tutorial. I just added this piece of WordPress built-in function called "the_category" and just pass along a "comma" as separator. This is the code: This post was written by
I just found out that: - The WHOLE array codes can be simply replace with-- the_category(', '); --- including the commas and removing comma at the end. - Also the author link can be echo-ed by simply using the_author_posts_link(); Hope that helps.
Hi, great tutorial, as all of these are. I've actually watched them many times each! Is there a way to link the_modified_author to his posts (the same way you do with the author)? Thanks
Great video! My code, copied exactly, is going to the right place and opening the right page, i.e. /wordpress/category/uncategorised/ - but even though I've got three sample posts in that category I'm getting the 'No content found' text, which is the else if no posts are found. (Happens with all categories I have created in dashboard). Can anyone think why this might happen?
computermatt035 what does that mean how can i change the permalinks? even if i used the source code which i download the video below, it says "not content found".
the downloaded source doesnt chnage your wordpress settings that's why it doesnt work,so in your wordpress admin dashboard, click Settings, then permalink now it will take you to a new page, then tick the cirlce Post Name and it will fix your problem, let me know if it works,
Hello, when I started this tutorial everything was working but I have changed my permalinks and now, when i want to go to a link (page, article..) I have 404 not found. I'm realy lost, if somebody can help me..
Any reason we wouldn't want to do this: Posted in instead of doing all that array stuff. I'm just starting to learn wp, and there seems to be different ways to do things.
can anyone here help me? WP usually queries and delivers an array of objects, and it seems like a TERRIBLE waste of memory when all I want is an ID and perhaps one thing or another.
One thing I really am struggling to understand is what the hell is cat_name? Is it a function? It's the same with term_id... what the hell is it? I can't find anything online as to what it is or where to use it, it's driving me nuts... these things are so illusive they're only referenced in stack overflow queries but never explained what they are, sure it gets the category name but is there an API filled with a list of these things? I have no real point of reference as to how to use them or if there are MORE terms like these that need to be used elsewhere.
Great series, easy to follow and understand and very well presented - very professional. I was finding WP theme coding tough going until I came across this series. Keep up the good work.
Please Let me know if this is incorrect. Maybe its just new since the video creation, but I was able to output the date, author(with link to authors posts), and categories separated with comma (and with category link) with a lot less code. Here is the code I use: / /
Not meant to be critical, just trying to be helpful. You're videos have been great :)
Can anyone give me some guidance on why my Post Styles aren't affecting my page? My code looks like this right now: /* Post Styles */ .post h2 { margin-bottom: 0; } p.post-info { font-size: 87%; color: #999; } p.post-info a:link, p.post-info a:visited { color: #999; } Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Hello Brad, Quick question. When you write the code to get the category information starting on line 13, should we be extracting this functionality into a function inside the functions.php file or is it fine to keep it in this file? I assume we won't be re-using this code block elsewhere so I assume it is fine as-is, but I was just curious what the best practices would be in this and similar cases. Thanks and loving the series so far!
Nothing to do with your videos, they are better than most. But the goal of learning to set up a website using WordPress as the CMS framework, no matter who's course I watch, what documentation I read, the approaches provided, none of it describes a coherent start to finish. No matter how I slice it, it's one big excruciating cluster __fill-in-the-blank__.
Could you tell me please how did you do that your URL looks like "author/admin"?? In my situation its look like "localhost/?author=1" and I dont think it looks nice. The same problem about category ;/
Its-me92 Absolutely - in your WordPress dashboard look in the side menu for the "Settings" module, and it should have a subsection named "Permalinks." The Permalinks screen lets you choose which URL naming scheme you want to use.
Die you change the Permalinks setting in the Admin dashboard ? Look at Setting and chokes Reading. Change the permalinks to month and name or just name. (You probably figured it out, because it was a year ago, but anayway, that's my answer)

Hassan al-humaid change your Permalinks to Post name it will fix the problem
computermatt035 Could you please be more clear? I don't really understand what you mean. :(
+TheGreatCJon Go on your wordpress Dashboard ->settings ->permalinks -> change your permalinks settings. Default works the best.
your lesson are amazing but for this one if may I suggest an update.
Wordpress has become easier I guess so I solved the problem in just one line I hope I'm not wrong.

How I can customize my entrymeta like yours... Where I can write this code on my WordPress site? Please help
These are the best WordPress Development tutorials I have come across. I have been trying to learn WP for almost a year and this is by far the best playlist on TH-cam. One thing... my category links aren't going anywhere almost like i have # as the reference, but I have the code the way it should be.

I just cant get them to show alone on a category page, the link is either broken or the function is obsolete. Can you help please? Many many thanks!
I'm not sure if anybody still reads these but I'm getting access denied when clicking on the author link. Can someone help me with that?
in the case of categories instead of foreach, wouldn't it be easier to implode(", ", $categories); ?
would u plz tell me in foreach($categories as $category) loop why echo outside of curly bracket

How to display last updated date when I add some content in my post?
I just found out that:
- The WHOLE array codes can be simply replace with-- the_category(', '); --- including the commas and removing comma at the end.
- Also the author link can be echo-ed by simply using the_author_posts_link();
Hope that helps.

Great work Nikola, this is the best course about WP ever !
is there a possibilty to Donate for your work ?
love ur tutorial bro, this can help me a lot
Hello, when I started this tutorial everything was working but I have changed my permalinks and now, when i want to go to a link (page, article..) I have 404 not found. I'm realy lost, if somebody can help me..
Why is it
p.post-info{
}
instead of
.post-info p {
}
like how you defined 'h2'?
p.post-info selects the p with class "post-info" attached to it.
While
.post-info p selects the p's within a class "post-info".
Thank you for the tutorial :).
Way better and easier to understand than Lynda's tutorials on WP :)
Nikola Ivanov I'm glad the tutorial was helpful, and thank you so much for the kind words!
Any reason we wouldn't want to do this: Posted in instead of doing all that array stuff. I'm just starting to learn wp, and there seems to be different ways to do things.
That is because the WordPress the_category() can accept argument beween the brackets, but a comma is not one of them.
The WHOLE array codes can be simply replace with: the_category(', ');
including the commas and removing comma at the end.
Your tutorials are just AWESOME! Great didatic (:
Thank you!

offtopic but its kinda funny to see that the first video of this tutorial has like 500 000 views and this one has 50 000.
Not many people make it through the entire series, huh :)
Some of them are persistent enough :) This tutorial is perfect. Thank you.
