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
I have watched all this WordPress Theme Development playlist( all 17 videos) and took notes and practiced on Dreamweaver; now i have an 81-page document with comments and screenshots and it s a valuable resource to me ! thank you SOO much for this AMAZING tutorial !!!!!!!
I can't describe the joy I feel going through these lessons. I feel like a kid again, waking up to work on a model or woodshop project. Every lesson, I can tell my neurons are firing up in ways they haven't in years, devouring new information and possibilities. :)
Brad Thanks for these wonderful tutorials. Just watched the whole Wordpress videos...I think you are the best tutor I have seen so far on the TH-cam...
You are one of the best teachers that I've ever listened to ! Thank you so much you are great !!! i have been watching a thousands of tutorials videos here on youTube and there is no doubts about it, YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST !! AGAIN THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Brad LearnWebCode - This was literally the best WordPress tuts I've ever seen. The simplicity and straight forwardness are consuming my mind :) I liked each and every video in this series, Please don't let them stop here. I'm sure these are like a visualized/simplified WordPress codex that people can come and check frequently. You've done a GREAT job presenting it, I couldn't ask for more but to continue on the awesomeness. Thanks is not enough.
Amazing tutorial and great Teaching! For 2 Days now I've been writing along with your guidance on this tutorial and learned so much about wordpress. I've learned more about wordpress from you than my teacher back at school hehe... I'am looking forward to see more of your tutorials. *thumbs up* :)
Hey there! Thanks for the videos, been following along the entire time. I'm happy to say I began learning Wordpress dev through your tutorials and have branched out since your series ended. I'm almost ready to launch my first premium responsive highly dynamic wordpress theme! Its hidden in my local host for now but as soon as it's released I will definitely share it with you! I integrated an internal contact messaging system, full theme options, zoom on image hover, 9 custom plugins, optional ad areas, custom comment section, custom featured slider, many backend options, internal seo etc. I'm a somewhat successful blogger and developer, learning to code in wordpress is a godsend, your videos gave me the base syntax and understanding to push it to the limit! I'll contact you and give you a free copy of the theme and plugins when it's released. A gift for the tutorials. Thanks again.
Hi Brad, I'm Web developer experienced with CMS like Joomla and Drupal. I watched all your videos about create Wordpress Themes and let me tell you that are GREAT. I learned a lot of you. Thank you man and I hope you could find some time to share new videos of this series. Greetings from CRC.
This Series was exactly what I needed to get up and running. Wow, very well put together and the examples were awesome. I am going to build my own site from scratch and I will be doing it using these tutorials again. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR EFFORTS
Hi WebCode, Seriously awesome videos and the way you explain it. I request you to please make more tutorials on WordPress what's not yet covered. Please teach us more in depth. Again, you are doing great... Many thanks and god bless you!
Thanks for the great series man! I bought your Udemy course just because you are so awesome :) Also, I needed to re-learn html/css, but still! It is such joy listening you teach that I wish I could be half the educator you are. If you ever publish more premium courses then I will keep throwing money at your way :) Thanks for everything!
Thank you so much! 🙏 That's exactly what I was looking for. I managed to combine this with variables (custom CSS properties), and it made it so easy to quickly adjust the color settings of a theme.
Hi brad, I would like to say thank you so much for this great tutorials, this are all the things i need to learn, excellent teaching method. Keep up the good work. Your the best!
Hi Brad, great tutos as always. 12:43 And with Scss if we have that color stored into a variable??? And if there's other colors created from that color with darken and lighten???
Hi, thank you so much for the wonderful tutorials. What is the difference between the WordPress Theme Options Admin Page and WordPress Appearance Customize options?
Thank you for such a great playlist. Best week of my life. (Okay, I'm exaggerating, but I love your voice.) I love that I can customize and add in different classes, but I notice the WordPress site doesn't give any info on WP_Customize_Background_Image_Control() or WP_Customize_Header_Image_Control(). Is it pretty much the same concept with regards to naming the label, description, and section? Thank you again.
Great video, thank you for the help! I'm just curious about one thing. How are you seeing the live updates of your modified theme in your Wordpress? I've been using SublimeText on my desktop (Mac) and don't know how to get the new theme on Wordpress to see if the changes worked. Might seem like a silly question but it would help a lot. Thanks!
Dude I watched all your videos - make a tutorial on how to optimize a wordpress site for google pagespeed. I'm sick of seeing "Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content" on my site it drives me nuts! There is not one single tutorial anywhere on the net that shows you how to do it. Remove render-blocking JavaScript: and Optimize CSS Delivery of the following: Autoptimize has over 200,000 downloads - the only reason I am want to learn how to code is because I want to fix the errors I get from google pagespeed - I bet I'm not the only one. I already bought your course on udemy and if you made this one I would buy it too.
Joe McMurry That is a great idea - I'll try to put together some information on how to receive a higher Google PageSpeed score. I'm familiar with several of the techniques from work projects, but I'm slacking on my own personal sites :) Time to walk the walk, and I'll try to create lessons on how to follow along :)
@joe McMurry. compress your javiscript and css files, use .jpg images, decrease size of images to less than 1920 x 1080p, don't use inluine javascript, some plugins can affect speed and hide the content but show an animation till all content loads in
I've followed your tutorial and I've looked at the wordpress codex that follows a similar method but I'm getting a problem. For some reason the "get_theme_mod" function is returning blank on the header hook. I've tinkered with it for some time but I can't seem to pinpoint the issue. I've tried many permutations of it's use and have echoed and check the source, where the css is inserted into the head shows blank for all but very few places of the function. If you can assist that would be greatly appreciated. You make some wonderful videos.
Hello sir, it's been a great time watching ur videos of WP. You have covered a great part of wp but i have a suggestion, why don't u post the video of how to make ur theme WOOCOMMERCE compatible! I'm very eager to learn that part! Hope to see sumthin related to that too!, anyways thankyou very much for these wp videos, thanks!
how to show one post with thumbnail title and content from category and remaining posts with small thumbnails and title in same page wordpress. (like news theme home page).
+amila upathissa Sure! In this particular video I am using "Sublime Text" and in the earlier videos in the WordPress series/playlist I'm using "TextMate" - another great editor is "Atom" - can't go wrong with any of these.
Excuse me, I did everything you showed, everything works correctly - i have Standard colors in customize options, i have settings to change - but my Output Customize CSS function doesn't work. Can you help me?
Hahahhaha, sorry for disturbing, I only had to add in line above the tag in header.php. I solved the stuff, but you helped me a lot, with your video dude! ;)
There is somewhere in the code i went wrong, but i can't figure it out because the on the customize menu it doesn't show the Standard Color menu option. Please help
I keep getting a 500 error when I try to add the customize_css function. The functions.php doesn't like it when I try to escape from php for some reason. Can someone help me?
I copy your code to try it but it's output Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'function' (T_FUNCTION) !!! on the line where it is starting function learningWordPress_customize_register( $wp_customize ) {
Anyone who can give some recommendations of tutorials that we should watch after this series. I`m looking into something that is more complex but still fallowing the same idea. Thank you
Instead of doing this: 'default' => '#ffffff' Is there any way you can use a variable? $white = '#ffffff'; ... 'default' => $white I tried this but it didn't work. The default option disappears. :(
excellent series!!! To me wordPress was for dumpFucks who call themselves web-developers. But you had proved me wrong. There is definitely huge potential in WP. Like to also see some php functions examples to supplement js or jQuerry, if that is even possible

Anything is possible with javascript you dumpfuck
