I love it when you say "Super simpol"... it brings a sense of confidence to those who are learning, like me.... 5 years as web developer but the first time learning how to actually develop for Wordpress :D
+Juan Bonnett Thank you so much for this amazing comment. It took me almost 7 years before starting to understand and properly use WordPress. So you're way ahead of me :D "Super Simpol"!
You have a gift for teaching. The pacing is very good. Each video has what seems like just the right amount of information to be useful and not overwhelming. You do a very good job in giving useful and succinct explanations about how something works, rather than simply saying to do something and not giving any idea as to why we need to do that.
i love how you explain the small but important details like why you have to do this or that. You're not giving a man fish but a rod and a lure so we are indepedent.
Hey Alessandro great content. I have a question - I can't see the screen options tab on the top of my screen when I open my post editor. I can see those options on the general page but when I open the blog post, I can't see the screen options tab above. Could anyone please help me with that?
Hey mate, just want to let you know that your videos are extremely useful to me and probably a bunch of other people. You are going through really good topics, that make sense, through your videos. No waste of time, being unprepared, googling around in your videos, etc. I've already created my custom theme when I finished the 6th video, already had enough knowledge to do what I wanted to do, but will continue watching the all of the videos of the series and push that Like button as this is time well spend here, on your channel. Thanks a lot for this content!
Mr Super Simple! You surely make it 'SUPER SIMPLE' ! I feel sooo much confident! Thanks for the awesome vids! Your teaching is absolutely great! Keep it up!
(AS OF 2021) post formats menu is located in "Status & Visibility" tab. Keep In Mind you have to complete the theme support using the array with the 3 strings before the "Post Formats" Become Visible! Took me a few to figure that out. Help that helps ;)
Hi thanks for your awesome tutorials. you forget about video post format. how can i do that? without opening the post? or for audio formats? thanks alot
Hi, great series, honestly for someone who is just trying to learn the basics you're the man! One question, is it possible to assign categories the same way as we did the format ? So the template changes based on the category selected, or does it have to be format ?
+Ziga Krasovec You can do it also with categories, no limitation for that. The only problem is that you could have multiple categories per post, and that could create a problem.
+Alessandro Castellani Thanks :) Although I think I might have come around with a better solution - custom post type; it's a little bit trickier to wrap your head around at first because of all the new customization and slightly different looping system, but it does the job eventually :)
The best serial of tutorials! Which IDE you use? I use PHPStrom but I do not get autocomplete for wordpress functions. Can I add them in PHPStrorm or you have some suggestion. Chears.
In this tutorials, I was using Panic Coda. Right now I'm using Sublime Text 3 with WordPress autocomplete. There should be something available for PHPStorm, I'm sure.
Hi, I am making a one page website. I have sections on a single page. When the user clicks on the menu items, he is scrolled down to the particular section. I want to use different background colours for each section. But I am not able to stretch the div or section to 100% width as they are in other divs in the php file. How can I override all the outer divs and stretch the background colour to 100% width of the screen? Thanks.
+Sl Dd I just changed the class of the div from container to container-fluid and it worked. I guess thats the right way to do it. Thanks and sorry for disturbing you.
+SS You can do it with a manual target="_blank" or you can activate the Link Target checkbox in your screen options in the Appearance > Menu , and then inside a link in your menu you can check the option "Open link in a new tab"
Hi Alessandro I will need to replay this tutorial several times for better understanding. But let's say on todays date I could have my Theme choose seasonal content of the year. For example March 20 thru June 20 is Spring content. June 21 thru September 21 I will have Summer content. September 22 thru December 20 is Autumnal content. And December 21 thru March 19 have Winter content? Your tutorials are great. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thanks for watching, not sure if I understand your question properly, but I guess what you're trying to do it's certainly doable. Another approach would be to create a custom taxonomy called "Seasons" and assign a post to a specific season. Easier to manage and retrieve.
Alessandro Castellani Thank you so much for your quick response. Sorry for not being a very clear. I want to select a seasonal image based on the systems date- if today's is =>June 1 and =< August 31 I would want to display a beach image and if today's date is => September 1 and =< November 30 display autumn image. Thank you for your great video tutorials.
+Warren Abayon You mean in the front-end or back-end? In the Back-end are automatically created by WordPress, in the front-end I coded and created those icons by myself.
I have been following from the first tutorial and currently when on my blog page I can't actually go into the posts and their individual pages. Should I be able to do this by now?
+gentcho gentchev Oh wow, thank you so much for your positive feedback, and your Italian is perfect! :D I know what you mean, I struggled my entire life with incomplete, non accurate and average lessons that I had to pay anyway. I really believe education should be free, especially for beginners. Happy Coding!
Hi Alex, first of all many many thankx for your awesome video and replying to my message. How can I display the post format in front-page.php. For example I have a gallery that I want to display in my front-page. How can I do that? Thanks
Guitarixt Hi and thank you for your comment. You can manage where and how to display your posts with the WP_Query function. Should be video number 9 if I'm not wrong. Cheers.
Best tutorials ever! Thanks, Alessandro! I just have a quick question. I added the code to the functions.php file and uploaded it to my site, but the format option doesn't appear at all, not even in the screen options. What could I be doing wrong? Thanks again!
Pili Fernandez-Davila Hi, thanks for your comment. Be sure that your code is identical to what I wrote, you can check it from the GitHub repo with the link in the description. Also be sure to follow step by step the video and do everything I did, especially the videos before this one, because in every video I set things up with the purpose of using them in future videos. Cheers.
This is great! It takes some time getting your head around it, but it's actually really simple! Dude I'm a Multimedia Design student and we were taught XHTML and a little bit of HTML5. I think things like Wordpress really should be taught aswell.
Hi,I want to allow the admin to upload audio / video files on a page from time to time. How can I access those files through code to show them styled dynamically? Thanks.
+Sl Dd Hi, this is currently the beginner series, so during all these videos I'm explaining simple arguments and basic knowledge of wordpress. During the premium dev series I explained how to upload media and retrieve it in the front end. You could jump on that, but if you want to learn wordpress in a good way, I suggest you to follow the entire series. happy coding!
Hi when i am adding feature image then i am getting error in ubuntu 16.04 , i am new in ubuntu software am not able to using this Please tell me Thank you so much i am getting error like this see below slider4.jpg Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2018/06. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
You have to make the uploads folder writable. This is the bash command: sudo chmod 775 'your directory' Replace 'your directory' with the path of your uploads folder
This is compulsory to create the file function.php for each theme that we have to build because it only just provide the menus and other relations functionalities??? Or we can have to copy the function.php file from the latest theme that wordpress releases.... Is this a bad approach or good??
did you activate the post format by adding the add_theme_support function? if you have issues you can always check my source code on github and compare it
Alessandro Castellani Hi Alex, thanks. I checked your GitHub content, and I must of screwed up some bit of code in the functions.php file. I got it working. Thanks for your time and the awesome videos!!!
Would be great if you could explain how to implement category and date filters for blog posts. And also how to break up a blog post and put a "read more" button to link to the detail page. Anyways, very good tutorials, keep going! :)
Sposim Spo Thank you!Those topics are already scheduled for the next tutorial. The main topic of the tutorial will be the Blog loop with all the options and functions. If you didn't already, be sure to subscribe to never miss a tutorial and upcoming live development sessions, where you can ask me to tackle some specific task and I will code the answer live. If you're already subscribed, sorry for the useless invitation and thank you so much for your consideration!
I have tried everything including just copying your entire functions page in get hub, and reinstalling my word press. I cannot get the post formats menu to show within status and visibility. Everything else is working fine. Was there another change in the location?
Add array('aside', 'galery') to 2nd parameter of add_theme_support() So the result is : add_theme_support('post-formats', array('aside', 'galery')) ; Now the format menu will show on "Status & Visibility".
Wordpress won't recognize the CSS in the browser and I can't figure out why. I copied everything from the Github and just changed out anything that said awesome to my own theme name and that was all the changes made. Any idea as to why this may be happening?
What do you mean by "inside a folder"? The search functionality can search posts, pages, taxonomies, categories, etc. Pretty much any content saved in the database is searchable.
Hello, Congratulations by your videos, they are really awesome! :) How can I use two, or more, css? For instance, if I need another css to page-template1.php, should I specify the second css inside the functions.php and call him from hook wp_head();? Thanks and good luck for your projects
You can enqueue another CSS in the functions.php page and you can specify an if statement like if( is_page_template( 'your_template.php' ) ) to enqueue it only in that specific page.
AOA- i am window user. can you tell me the best editor just like coda?? i also used dreamwear but it not give suggestion for php. just like coda plz tell me ? what i should do> thank you.
You can enable WordPress suggestions. Go to the "Site" menu button, scroll down to "Site-Specific Code Hints..." and where you see the dropdown menu, select "WordPress" and specify your sub-root folder. NOTE: You must have all the WordPress files on your desktop for Dreamweaver to be able to read it. So setup your website on your desktop the way you would on your web server. I hope that helps!
+OneMinsTutorials Hi, yes I designed it and coded from scratch. I'm currently doing a series about designing my new website, i will follow all the steps, from design, to develop, to publish. And after that I will release the source code of my current website for free.
Alex! I messed up and got a 500. Why? I saw that I did not put a ' ; ' at the end of a line. Should everyone know to change DEBUG to true in the wp-config file? Super simple. The 'true' displays the error, page, and line!
very useful honestly it is so clear .it explain all briefs needed to develop WP .thank you.hope you keep it run :)..just may i ask. in case i develop for parallax theme can i use get_template_part or it is deferent customization in section html ?? grazie melle amico per questo spegazione .ti spero buona serata e buona vita per sempre.
+Hosam Shoeib Hi, thank you so much for this great comment, and your Italian is perfect :D I'm not sure about the integration of different content inside Parallax theme, by default you should be able to include whatever you want into a single page, so it shouldn't be a problem. Happy Coding!
Hey Alessandro. i love this series but could you please correct your terminology. Smack on a annotation which state that add_theme_support is a function and not a hook. It would be unfortunate if somebody would lose an internship or something because they got term wrong :) again thanks so much for these videos.
If anybody is watching this and having a hard time finding the "format" box even after checking the Screen Options, I'm not sure if it's because of a change to wordpress but you have to add the array with format type (aside, image, video, etc.) for it to appear now.
Regarding post-formats: I have noticed them in ready-made themes before, but have never used them. They seem to be getting a lot of attention though, and seem important. If people just wanted to post images, for example, wouldn't they go to Instagram, or another platform where other people also share mostly just their "images"? On my own blog, I'd always want some amount of text to go with a foto, video, or whatever, and say something. And I can do that with the editor. So I don't really get the point of these post-formats. Other than that, I love your tuts. Because they focus on the WP stuff rather than all sorts of distracting styling stuff. Thx!
Thanks for watching. Post formats are a way to give developer sand users a proper separation of styling and feature. If you want something more complex for your posts, you don't have to hack it with a bunch of conditions and deal with clean and separated files. You're not forced to use them if you don't need them :D Cheers
Thanks so much for getting back. Yup, I'll try and see if I can see their usefullness in a while, once I've finished my own blog and worked some more at the front-end. At the moment, I'm working on my first theme (only did child themes before) and the end users of this are team leaders of a research group. They already complained about the post format types in a lab notebook which they found confusing. But thanks for making me curious about them again at a later stage.
Hi there booty savior. I never learn coding before, I learn just for my own hobby. i face 1 problem, hope u guys can help me on this too. I put an image src code like this: , why this image can't display at front page while can be seen at others pages?
+junyong5821 You should always put the absolute path of an image, starting from With the relative path that you have now, if you browse the site, your location changes, so the image can't be found anymore. Hope it makes sense.
the header image is not showing up at all what could be the reason. This tutorial had only 3 lines to still it didn't work for me. add_theme_support('custom-background'); add_theme_support('custom-header'); add_theme_support('post-thumbnails');
Check my source code on GitHub. Here's also the documentation of the add theme support method, just in case the syntax changed since I did the tutorial: developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_theme_support/
That one really confused me, .. It's now 2019, .. and there is a lot of talk and chatter about (Post Formats) being, .. or has been removed from the WP core. Must confess that the entire topic flummoxed me as my current theme as never had it in. - And because I've never had it. Then I really can't see the point of why you should want to change how your Blog posts look, and that's despite googling the subject intently. There must be a reason why Aside is a function; that's not achievable when laying out your Blog posts with straight forward etc formatting, but I simply can't see it. Anyone point me to some sites where Aside and Image are exclusively used, and why embedding videos in standard posts is a bad thing? Sorry to be so dense, but I've hit a brick-wall with Post Formats.
No worries, it can be confusing. Take a look at this theme for example: demo.wpexplorer.com/magtastico/ The post loop is only one, but in the list of posts you can see sometimes you have a video, or a quote, or just an image, and the layout of that post is completely different. That's what Post Formats are for, using completely different structures without the necessity of polluting your post loop with multiple IF statements.

Faridul Hassan Thank you so much. New videos every week :D
Best wordpress theme tutorials I have seen. Definitely will check all other stuff. Thanks for your good work.
You're very welcome, and thank you so much for your comment
I would like to add; if you want to put the different parts inside a folder (for example named parts), you can call it like that:
Like the way you keep your videos simple and to the point, I am hooked!
Awesome, thanks for watching
I love it when you say "don't worry" and "super simple"
It made me be more confident and motivation. Thanks a lot
Never worry, everything is super simple :D
Happy Coding!
These tutorials are really the best I have ever seen on anything! So simple and concise, Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into this.
+Samuel Green Thank you so much for following, and for your positive feedback :D

you're welcome!!! , thanks... your vids are addictivve, i want to go on and on ... hahah
Don't stop :D
yes, not stopping! :)
Very clever the use of 'get_template_part()' on post formats. A great bravo!
Thank you so much :D
Great tutorial! I didn't really understand this feature in WordPress till this video. Thank you very much for the information!
Great, happy to hear that
Thank you for sharing knowledge and mostly confidence! My next project will support post formats, for sure.
Awesome. Happy Coding

If we had the single.php file by this point of the tutorial, would we call the get_template_part() there, instead from index.php? Thank you!

you forget about video post format.

Alessandro Castellani That's true Alex, but having a point from where to start it's quite hard
you are the best thanks for your effort . continue to help people don't stop
A tons of special, useful, great, exciting features. Thank you so much! This is a five stars beginner course!

I'm really happy to hear that :D
hi, how did you made that post format icons showed in each post format?
+Warren Abayon You mean in the front-end or back-end?
In the Back-end are automatically created by WordPress, in the front-end I coded and created those icons by myself.
Cheers from Venezuela, thanks! You are amazing Alessandro! this Tutorials are so good! Excelentes tus tutoriales amigo! Saludos desde Venezuela
+SSTecno Unia Thank you so much!
Thank you Teacher.

I have been following from the first tutorial and currently when on my blog page I can't actually go into the posts and their individual pages. Should I be able to do this by now?
La ringrazio molto per le splendide lezioni, Alessandro! :)
Better than many paid ones (I have seen many premium lessons before, believe me).

Hi
when i am adding feature image then i am getting error in ubuntu 16.04
, i am new in ubuntu software am not able to using this Please tell me Thank you so much
i am getting error like this see below
slider4.jpg
Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2018/06. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
You have to make the uploads folder writable.
This is the bash command: sudo chmod 775 'your directory'
Replace 'your directory' with the path of your uploads folder
Thanks for help me
Great job Alessandro
+Tony Thank you so much!
Hello,
How to sort Posts, Articles for displaying on the front page ?
Keep watching my videos and you'll learn everything.
This is compulsory to create the file function.php for each theme that we have to build because it only just provide the menus and other relations functionalities???
Or we can have to copy the function.php file from the latest theme that wordpress releases....
Is this a bad approach or good??
You can definitely reuse a previously coded functions.php file, it's not obligatory to start everytime from scratch.
Subscribed, your tutorials have been helping me a lot! Keep up with the good work ;)
+José Pinto Awesome! Thank you for following
Hi Alessandro, I have no "format" option available to me in the screen options! What to do?
did you activate the post format by adding the add_theme_support function? if you have issues you can always check my source code on github and compare it
Alessandro Castellani Yes, of course. I've added the following to the functions.php file: add_theme_support('custom-background');
Alessandro Castellani Hi Alex, thanks. I checked your GitHub content, and I must of screwed up some bit of code in the functions.php file. I got it working. Thanks for your time and the awesome videos!!!
I'm glad you were able to solve the problem. Thank you for following!
I was not able to properly follow this one because I did not have the format on my page how did you get there again?
i did not have the s after format so i had format instead of formats lol
Would be great if you could explain how to implement category and date filters for blog posts. And also how to break up a blog post and put a "read more" button to link to the detail page. Anyways, very good tutorials, keep going! :)

Always Super simple :D
Thank you so much for keep watching it
Wordpress won't recognize the CSS in the browser and I can't figure out why. I copied everything from the Github and just changed out anything that said awesome to my own theme name and that was all the changes made. Any idea as to why this may be happening?
+Ashley Lulo mhhh, not sure what could be the problem. Send me your enqueue code in a message on my Facebook page and I'll take a look
Thank you alex. That was wonderful tutorial. It really help me a lot specially in understanding the basic concept. :)
That's awesome, thank you so much for watching
you are doing a great job. Hats Off man
Cheers
I love to be ...
please create video for advance options of post format
i checked already part 7 and done also but my website look is not same with you please give me link where you made this look waiting thanks
Check my source code on Github and compare it with yours, you probably have a small typo somewhere.
Cheers
Hey Alessandro :)
Is it possible to make it search for a post format inside a folder, or does it only work with a single file? :)
What do you mean by "inside a folder"?
The search functionality can search posts, pages, taxonomies, categories, etc.
Pretty much any content saved in the database is searchable.
Superb document...thank you
+Simon Shrestha you're very welcome
Hello, Congratulations by your videos, they are really awesome! :)
How can I use two, or more, css? For instance, if I need another css to page-template1.php, should I specify the second css inside the functions.php and call him from hook wp_head();?
Thanks and good luck for your projects
You can enqueue another CSS in the functions.php page and you can specify an if statement like if( is_page_template( 'your_template.php' ) ) to enqueue it only in that specific page.
Best teacher in the world!
AOA-
i am window user. can you tell me the best editor just like coda??
i also used dreamwear but it not give suggestion for php. just like coda
plz tell me ? what i should do>
thank you.
thank's i try it
You can enable WordPress suggestions. Go to the "Site" menu button, scroll down to "Site-Specific Code Hints..." and where you see the dropdown menu, select "WordPress" and specify your sub-root folder.
NOTE: You must have all the WordPress files on your desktop for Dreamweaver to be able to read it. So setup your website on your desktop the way you would on your web server.
I hope that helps!
Good tutorial this is help form Start
Thank you so much!
Hi,
I have a question. Did you make your own website also from scratch? If yes, could you please make a video about how you made your own website?
+OneMinsTutorials Hi, yes I designed it and coded from scratch.
I'm currently doing a series about designing my new website, i will follow all the steps, from design, to develop, to publish. And after that I will release the source code of my current website for free.
I would love to see it as well
Alex! I messed up and got a 500. Why? I saw that I did not put a ' ; ' at the end of a line. Should everyone know to change DEBUG to true in the wp-config file? Super simple. The 'true' displays the error, page, and line!
Yup, DEBUG set to true is essential, thanks for sharing.
very useful honestly it is so clear .it explain all briefs needed to develop WP .thank you.hope you keep it run :)..just may i ask. in case i develop for parallax theme can i use get_template_part or it is deferent customization in section html ?? grazie melle amico per questo spegazione .ti spero buona serata e buona vita per sempre.
+Hosam Shoeib Hi, thank you so much for this great comment, and your Italian is perfect :D
I'm not sure about the integration of different content inside Parallax theme, by default you should be able to include whatever you want into a single page, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Happy Coding!
How to link bootstrap and menu set parmalink how tii
Hey Alessandro. i love this series but could you please correct your terminology. Smack on a annotation which state that add_theme_support is a function and not a hook. It would be unfortunate if somebody would lose an internship or something because they got term wrong :) again thanks so much for these videos.
Yes, sorry for the issue, this is an old series which I started to actually learn and improve my English, and I think it shows :D
You should get a bottle of good wine for each movie.
I've watch your tutorial from the beginning :D Im so excited what i will learn alot from you ! Thanks < 3
Thanks for watching :D
Thanks :) i like all your video tutorial post :)

Cheers
Awesome videos!!! Very helpful! :)
Thanks :D
If anybody is watching this and having a hard time finding the "format" box even after checking the Screen Options, I'm not sure if it's because of a change to wordpress but you have to add the array with format type (aside, image, video, etc.) for it to appear now.
Regarding post-formats: I have noticed them in ready-made themes before, but have never used them. They seem to be getting a lot of attention though, and seem important. If people just wanted to post images, for example, wouldn't they go to Instagram, or another platform where other people also share mostly just their "images"? On my own blog, I'd always want some amount of text to go with a foto, video, or whatever, and say something. And I can do that with the editor. So I don't really get the point of these post-formats.
Other than that, I love your tuts. Because they focus on the WP stuff rather than all sorts of distracting styling stuff. Thx!
Thanks for watching.
Post formats are a way to give developer sand users a proper separation of styling and feature. If you want something more complex for your posts, you don't have to hack it with a bunch of conditions and deal with clean and separated files.
You're not forced to use them if you don't need them :D
Cheers
Thanks so much for getting back. Yup, I'll try and see if I can see their usefullness in a while, once I've finished my own blog and worked some more at the front-end. At the moment, I'm working on my first theme (only did child themes before) and the end users of this are team leaders of a research group. They already complained about the post format types in a lab notebook which they found confusing. But thanks for making me curious about them again at a later stage.
i was panicking cuz its so different 8 years later and its 6.2 now but its works in the end!
Great tutorials so far, and nice post about Seattle on your website. I say this as a Nirvana fan ;D
Thank you so much, I"m a huge Nirvana fan as well, and seeing their instruments, sweaters, and notebooks was an amazing experience.
Yes, too bad I hadn't chance to see them live (I was too young) but they were amazing on live performances. Thanks again for the great tutorials!
Hi there booty savior. I never learn coding before, I learn just for my own hobby. i face 1 problem, hope u guys can help me on this too.
I put an image src code like this: , why this image can't display at front page while can be seen at others pages?
+junyong5821 You should always put the absolute path of an image, starting from
With the relative path that you have now, if you browse the site, your location changes, so the image can't be found anymore.
Hope it makes sense.
the header image is not showing up at all what could be the reason. This tutorial had only 3 lines to still it didn't work for me.
add_theme_support('custom-background');
add_theme_support('custom-header');
add_theme_support('post-thumbnails');
Check my source code on GitHub.
Here's also the documentation of the add theme support method, just in case the syntax changed since I did the tutorial: developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_theme_support/
Everything is 'super easy' for you ... I like you ^_^
Good job man, thank you very much :)
You're very welcome, I'm glad everything is easily understandable also for you.
Happy coding!
Really great...
Thank you so much :D
You're Amazing!!! Thank You
You're very welcome.
That one really confused me, ..
It's now 2019, .. and there is a lot of talk and chatter about (Post Formats) being, .. or has been removed from the WP core. Must confess that the entire topic flummoxed me as my current theme as never had it in.
- And because I've never had it.
Then I really can't see the point of why you should want to change how your Blog posts look, and that's despite googling the subject intently.
There must be a reason why Aside is a function; that's not achievable when laying out your Blog posts with straight forward etc formatting, but I simply can't see it.
Anyone point me to some sites where Aside and Image are exclusively used, and why embedding videos in standard posts is a bad thing?
Sorry to be so dense, but I've hit a brick-wall with Post Formats.
No worries, it can be confusing.
Take a look at this theme for example: demo.wpexplorer.com/magtastico/
The post loop is only one, but in the list of posts you can see sometimes you have a video, or a quote, or just an image, and the layout of that post is completely different.
That's what Post Formats are for, using completely different structures without the necessity of polluting your post loop with multiple IF statements.
Thank you so much
You're very welcome!
Thank you very much :*
You're very welcome :D
