Developing a block theme can be confusing for many people, and even after working with block themes for several years, I still find certain aspects complex. As someone who has contributed to default WordPress themes like Twenty Twenty-Four and Twenty Twenty-Five, I decided to create this playlist to help others get started with block themes.
In this first part of the playlist, we’ll scaffold a block theme called "Jareed." We’ll use the "Create Block Theme" plugin, which simplifies the process of setting up the theme structure. While block themes might seem daunting, they are actually simpler to build than classic themes. I’ll guide you step-by-step, starting from scratch, to make the process easy to follow.
As I’m not a native English speaker, my pronunciation may occasionally sound unpolished. However, if you have any questions or find anything unclear, feel free to reach out to me-I’ll do my best to assist you on your journey to creating block themes.
In this video, we kick off the development of "Jareed," a custom WordPress block theme built entirely from scratch. This series is designed to guide you through the process of creating a modern block theme, utilizing the powerful Full Site Editing (FSE) capabilities introduced in WordPress. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, this tutorial will help you establish a strong foundation for block theme development.
Starting with the Create Block Theme Plugin
The "Create Block Theme" plugin simplifies the initial setup process for building a block theme. We’ll demonstrate how to install and activate this plugin directly from the WordPress repository. Once set up, this tool provides an efficient way to scaffold your theme with essential files, saving time and ensuring compatibility with the latest WordPress standards.
Scaffolding the Jareed Theme
Using the plugin, we’ll generate a blank block theme named "Jareed." This process creates the necessary files, including style.css, index.html, theme.json, and basic template parts like the header and footer. These files form the backbone of the theme and allow us to start building custom features with ease.
Understanding the Theme.json File
The theme.json file is a crucial component of any block theme. In this video, we’ll cover how to use it to define global styles, such as colors, typography, and layout settings. This centralized configuration simplifies theme management and ensures a consistent design across the website.
Building Basic Features
With the foundational files in place, we’ll start implementing basic features for the Jareed theme. This includes configuring navigation menus, setting up block patterns, and preparing the site editor for customization. These initial steps establish the groundwork for more advanced functionality.
Advantages of Using Block Themes
Block themes represent the future of WordPress development. They offer unparalleled flexibility, allowing users to customize every aspect of their website through the block editor. By mastering block theme development, you can stay ahead in the evolving WordPress ecosystem.
What’s Next in the Series
This video is just the beginning of our journey with the Jareed theme. In upcoming parts, we’ll dive deeper into advanced features, such as custom block patterns, dynamic templates, and integrating third-party tools. Stay tuned as we continue to bring the Jareed theme to life!
