-
- Create a new folder in the “wp-content/themes” directory of your WordPress installation with a unique name for your theme.
- Create the following files inside the new folder:
-
- style.css: This file contains the styles for your theme.
- index.php: This is the main template file that displays the content of your website.
- functions.php: This file contains the functions and features you want to add to your theme.
-
- Add the following code to the style.css file:
/*
Theme Name: [Your Theme Name]
Author: [Your Name]
Description: [A brief description of your theme]
Version: 1.0
*/
-
- Add the following code to the index.php file:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>
<body>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>
</html>
-
- Add the following code to the functions.php file:
<?php
function [theme_name]_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'main-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', '[theme_name]_enqueue_styles' );
This is a basic WordPress theme structure. You can now activate your theme from the WordPress administration panel and start customizing it further.
