@@alecaddd Just what I need to watch ASAP...I'm just 5 min in and I'm learning soo much. Not too many videos out that will teach a literal beginner about this. Thank You 💚
I have been surfing the web in search of an explanation like this for two weeks. It blows my mind how people like to make this seem way more complicated than it is! THANK YOU!!!
I got to tell you that I have taken several different 'create a theme from scratch' courses and I find you to be more thorough than the rest. I do like LevelUpTuts and LearnWebCode, but you come in first. I will always check your stuff - ARJ-Web-Design
Oh wow, thank you so much. I feel honoured to be compared to those websites. Thank you so much for watching and welcome to the community :D Happy Coding!
Man, I'm from Brazil. was tired to build my websites all by hand in HTML, css, JavaScript etc. I looked for tons of videos, but none of them were clear and nice as yours. Congratulations! Now i think i can put the ones I've made in wordpress and get easy in maintenance
Starting with absolutely no WordPress or php knowledge I used this series to build our new company Intranet. After completion I had it checked by an experienced WordPress developer. The developer found no big issues to correct or add. So.... Thanks for this great series Allessandro! In a couple of minutes I am starting your advanced series. Looking forward to it!
Hey Alessandro, I just finished the 22nd (and last) video tutorial and just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU! this series is just great! I strongly advice to whoever is interested in WordPress and needs to start somewhere, to start from here. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your effort in completing the entire series, that's awesome. If you wanna keep going and learn more cool stuff, you could jump into the Premium Development playlist. Thank you again, and Happy Coding!
Lasciate perdere qualsiasi altro tutorial, questo è il definitivo! Grande Alessandro, sono contento di aver trovato questo tuo canale, grazie! Ti supporterò per quanto posso! ;)
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS SERIES! I've been looking all over for a good tutorial for getting started in wordpress, and everything else I've found has either been super confusing or else assumes you don't even know how to code, and nothing just shows you how to get started in making a new theme in as straight forward a manner as you do. This is excellent!
Hello Alessandro. I have a question, on 1:47 you are switching to the editor and I can't see how? Your pointer moved fast and anyway I can't figure where. Thanks in fwd
By far the best beginner tutorial I found. All other tutorials don't really explain a lot (regarding the built-in wordpress functions), which leaves me assuming a lot of stuff. Thanks for your effort
It's been a while since this was put up, but my immediate thought was - Alessandro - don't put yourself down with making this extremely helpful tutorial. Everyone was once a noob, but every noob forgets. - This video is precisely what I've been looking for, and I should imagine; others as well. It's at that stage where you've got your local version of WordPress up and running, .. then you're stumped as to what to do with it to make you're awesome theme .. (or plugin). - You have an idea, but can't get past the primary basics. Just before the vast chasm of primary nothing, is that (huge mental leap) that everyone else out there makes when discussing what to do in developing a WordPress website. - Take the style.css file for example, most other vids delve straight in : then professionally discuss text colour, - positioning, - borders and background hues, and not one actually explains what that file does, .. (You just did: well done). This tutorial really got down to the absolute basics of how to get a WordPress bare-bones theme up and running. Don't be ashamed of being a chasm-less primary school teacher, .. [some-none-noob's-got-2-do-it.] Subscribed, thumb's up, - and now looking forward to part two. RGDS - Terry the noob.
I am using WordPress just buy the theme and install and give it to the client this I am doing for the last 4 years, without knowing this basic thing, I am going to watch all your WordPress playlists. Thank you for this tutorial :)
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL. I am so, so, SO beginer on this that I had to go back to the begining of the video before reaching the first minute watching it. It was so funny, i began to tremble as soon as you said "Code" :)) The only code I know is the dress code! lol
Coding a website or following a dress code for an event is pretty much the same :D I'm glad my tutorials are helpful for you and I'm sure you will be able to understand and learn everything you need. Don't get frustrated, keep practicing and studying, and you will succeed. Happy Coding :D
I don't appericiate anyone easily bt today you are lifesaver for me , i waste 3 days for copying a theme but you teach me rather than copying theme, it is very easy to create theme :)
Excellent instructional videos, Alessandro. Too often the teacher assumes too much of the student, whereas these videos take the beginner's mind and confusion into account. Although I am an experienced web-developer, I am only now getting into customizing WordPress and this kind of basic, hands-on instruction is priceless. Thank you for your generous efforts. Also, I'm sure there are many who appreciate your tutorials as well, but have simply not made the effort to show their own gratitude. On their behalf, I say thank you, again.
Roland HereNow oh, wow...thank you so much Roland, this comment is one of the best I've ever had!You exactly understood the purpose of these tutorials and I'm glad lots of people find them helpful. I will try to improve the quality and the quantity and comments like this motivates me more. Thank you so much!
It was my pleasure to offer a positive review about your high quality efforts here. I have watched all your vids in this tutorial and would love to see more of them, and with increasing complexity. They are invaluable. Thank you again, from Toronto. :) Roland
This makes me super happy :D If you're interested I will do a live development session on Saturday plus.google.com/u/0/events/c6ejiuakhsklhbmg8au3b6k1n4k Go Canada go!
Just what I was looking for. We were taught at school how to Wordpress, but we were learning PHP in a separate class and we weren't explained a lot of these things (that's actually a lie, we were, but we spent so little time in it that it was taken for granted by the teacher), and this video actually made me learn in 20 minutes what a two hour lesson failed to. You have my thanks.
Hi Sam, thank you so much for your message, I'm glad my tutorials are useful and watched in your country, I was honoured and excited to partecipate. Happy Coding :D
Am enjoying your WP PHP series, so much. You have a fantastic way of explaining things. I know HTML, CSS, a bit of PHP, and my way around Wordpress themes but the wp_ stuff confused me and no other tutorial could explain what I wanted to know.. Now, finally it all starts to make sense. You are a great teacher.
Gave you a thumbs up - not only because the video is awesome but because I am watching this video whilst I am at work and the last 10 seconds made me burst with laughter (in a quiet office). Thanks again! - J
Awesome man ! Actually, I hate to watch tutorial more than 10 minutes but I really appreciate the way you explain each and everything clearly & first time I watch tutorial more than 10 minutes without taking any break. Thanks
Brother You are Awesome... Really Appreciating Your Efforts... Keep Coming Those Videos, You are helping the peoples who need help including me, My Best Wishes with you bro... i think this channel should get 100Million Subcribers because of the Great Efforts of you, Alessandro Bro Great Work and you are the best teacher too ^__^ :), Thumbs Up...
About 4 year ago I found a tutorial that lasted about an hour, that I though where really great in explaining how to do this. I couldn't find it and I'm glad I found you this time. Even though you have cut it up you actually explain what does what, and THAT is really important for making quality themes! :D
You are a hero!!! Thank you. I understand the basics and how the system works BUT...you have shown me how it is put together. I cannot thank you enough.
Wow... Only seen the first three videos and already I have learned a lot.. I can read and setup just basic HTML and CSS.... Last website I worked on I downloaded a template, edited the HTML in all my pages and uploaded it.. These really teach me the relationship with custom themes and WordPress. Yea working on another website.. lol.. I should really take web developer classes one day!.. Thanks A lot for your time in making these videos!
+Etais Nakogee Happy to help you! I'm planning to expand my channel to be as instructional as possible for everyone interested in programming. I really think digital education should be free, so I really hope to achieve this goal and help you, like many others, to learn web development easily and for free. Happy Coding!
+Alessandro Castellani Funny as it is, I enjoy coding. I'm 28 years old and really don't know what I want to do in the rest of my adult life.. Web Development, Go into Biology or any of the other sciences, Business Administration, Computer Science, some point work on my Calculus and perhaps get into Physics.. I enjoy many things and just to pick one to study for X amount of years and not to be fulfilled by it at the end... choices, choices... What will I do.. But in the meantime, great work on these videos and yes some education should be free but we all need to pay the bills, it's understandable why money exist.. if everything was free, who would make pencils? no one would and there wouldn't be pencils ya know? All we can do is make the best decision even if it won't make others happy.. Later!
aroseland1 You should post this comment on every video of the series T_T. But you can stop at tutorial 14, when I actually learned how to pronounce theme properly...but only 1 out of 3 times, just to not spoil too much the viewers. ...sorry >_>
Im back once again for this great tutorial for a new Wordpress theme. This tutorial is really great and one of the best that I could find online. Thanks mate. Keep up the great work.
Al, Thank you so much for these tutorials. I've been looking for something like this for ages. Ive spent many years just tweaking bought templates, but not fully understanding them. Your tutorials are perfect to grasp the basics. I hope that you keep going with them all, especially when as Wordpress progresses. Cheers, Tony
Tony Powell Thank you so much for your comment. I was in your same situation almost 10 years ago, and I had to learn mostly by myself, breaking themes and rebuilding theme to fully understand the logic of WP. Conferences and expensive online classes were also part of the trick. Anyway I always thought that tutorials for beginners or entry level should be free, just to give everyone a warm welcome on everything, doesn't matter how complex the topic is. I will definitely improve the complexity of the topics and I will extend my tutorials, and probably in the future I will activate some small payment or donation system to watch more advanced tutorials, but everything will remain really affordable and I will keep releasing free tutorials for everyone.
Tnx so much, your video is not boring as you said, it's actually well paced for a beginner and does not make me dizzy like other videos from people who already know so much they can't explain with simplicity. tnx Alessandro.
TL:DR Great KISS tutorial for beginners. +Contentwise probably the best KISS tutorial i've watched so far (and i watched a lot, from Laracasts to Unity3d). I hope the other 19 video's are as clear and understandable as this one. +Another upside is the speed. I could literally code along with the video. Which is very rare -Only downside is the mediocre audio recording quality (mic quality is probably mainstream consumer, not pro).
+eL Jay Hi, thanks for watching and for your review. I started these tutorials mostly to learn English and improve myself. The audio quality will be kinda crappy at least until video number 10, after that I purchased a microphone and learned a bit of audio editing. Sorry about that. Thanks for following and Happy Coding!
thank you, this is the best tutorial in the wordpress for providing fundamental knowledge for beginners to understand what is going on and why we need so many files and folders in wordpress folders
This is really a very good tutorial on how to create a wordpress theme from scratch ! Well done Alessandro, it's a pleasure to follow your lessons and thanks a lot for this great job !
Thanks dude. I badly need these tutorials. Wordrpess is my next subject in my full stack training and i was struggling hard to understand how these template files work. Thanks a ton
Dear Alessandro Castellani you havent guided about installation as well as making database overall its the video series i am looking for .... thanks thanks thanks no words for teacher like you
Hi, thanks for watching. I will do an intro on how to install wordpress in the future. This series is for developers, so it assumes a bit of knowledge about WP and how to put it on a server. Cheers
+YourPoisonCookie I started as a graphic designer to. Coding was really hard at the beginning, but slowly things started to make sense, even for me :D. Happy Coding!
Thanks to this series of tutorials I just create a theme that dreamed about, as a beginner developer this was like a Bible for me.... thank you sir :'D
That's amazing, I'm really happy to hear that. Making something from scratch and achieving something you thought impossible before, it's an amazing feeling. Happy Coding!
Your videos are helping me out a lot. I haven't coded or messed with wordpress in a long time. And I wanted to start getting back into web design and development again. Its easy to understand. :) thank you sir! I subbed.
People Who Come Here To Learn THIS IS THE BEST ONE if u have a basic knowledge of php html and css u can make something awesome Thank you for this tutorial dude this is the second time i go along with it
I love your lessons and the way you explain them, I also love your accent it makes me smile. Thank you for being one of lifes sharers and good guys. Keep up the great work. :)
Ale this is amazing! It reminds me of your lessons back in high school, almost 10 years ago.. You've always been an excellent teacher, i'll definitely try to build a theme from scratch using your tutorials! Bravo! x PS: l'intro chiacchiericcio è il top!
Ahahaha, good old memories! Thank you so much Flavia. I don't know if I'm a good teacher but I always loved it. Hopefully these tutorials will help you to understand the basics of WP and step into the mystical word of theme development! *fades away inside a magic cloud* PS: ed ho tagliato quasi 15 minuti dalla registrazione originale, me devo da na regolata :D
I agree with Oscar. Please do you have a site where I can pay to learn an updated version of this wordpress theme development course? I like how you go about it and your teaching is the best one can find.
High five! I'm so excited I found this tutorial. When I'm done with it I will write a blog on developing custom themes, and I'll be shure to reference to where I learned my skill sets.
Awesome !! thanks a lot ! I was looking for a great starting tutorial about using php in wordpress but I did not find anything worthy... after a month your video helped me a lot in understanding the concepts !
Thank you for this! I've been learning development of WP plugins and widgets and wanted to learn more about theme development as well. This will be a big help
Thank you brother. I did a awesome job. This is my third day using word press. I was so confused how to start developing a website at my own (without a theme).
This tutorials are amazing and profesional. I'm so happy to found this chanel. It's helping me a lot with my WP development skills. Thank you! Greetings from Venezuela!
Hi! I suppose that you are italian, from the name... Anyway i will type in english :D Thanks, really after hours of searching all over the web, finally i've found this channel and this playlist. You're explaining everything perfectly. I hope that i will not get stuck in the future. Well, thanks again!
Really good tutorial but I was lost at the beggining. I didn't understand how at 1:15 you instaled lwordpress and how it works with appache and MySQL Then again I only understand html and css so I dont know what Appache and MySQL is.
Thanks for watching. Yes unfortunately this tutorial assumes you already have a website in wordpress up and running, and you know how to access it's source code. I will do a video for beginners to show how to install wordpress and setup a proper server. Cheers
It would be really nice if you show us the final product so we beginners know where we heading at but I do appreciate these tutorial vids and will check them all out. You got a sub also!
@@alecaddd Man I cant tell how much I appreciated this channel. Im currently low on budget for marketing but you help me out alot. You sir just taugth a man how to fish.
Wow~ It's amazing. It's really really helping me to understand wordpress cms. Thank you for your sharing. Btw, I already download all your videos from this list. Awesome tutorial. Like this.
Thanks for watching. I know users download my videos because their internet connection is not great, but hopefully you won't share those videos or re-upload them as your own. I get a small revenue from UA-cam views, and if I lose those, I will be forced to stop doing free tutorials. Cheers
This is a great tutorial!! btw subtitles made my day... "we can keep going from this point to create our real awesome theme" (Subs: "weekend keep going from this boy and to create our real awesome teen")
Thank you, I will continue in the series. I have been looking for a solid tutorial and your style and logic speak to me! You use a couple tools to set all this up, one you mention setting up WordPress on a local machine, and the second was what you write your code in. Do you have a tutorial on how to set up WordPress on a local machine & what/where do I find what you use to code? Thanks again!!
+LastFrontierDesigns What OS are you using? If you want to setup your local environment on Windows, you can follow this tutorial: ua-cam.com/video/kuMTZowwjus/v-deo.html For all the questions and suggestions about my Code Editor, check here: ua-cam.com/video/7TzQLH953dg/v-deo.html&t=9m28s
Really useful video you have shared, thanks for sharing. I will surely try to create a WordPress theme from scratch by myself or will try to create it with a template-toaster.
1) 5:01
2) create style.css 6:48
3) writing description of theme 7:41
4) creating basic structure / what wp needs 9:30
Thanks for the timestamp, I pinned this comment to the top, it'll be useful for others.

But you can stop at tutorial 14, when I actually learned how to pronounce theme properly...but only 1 out of 3 times, just to not spoil too much the viewers.
...sorry >_>
Like you couldn't tell? Give the guy a break, it's a great video and its obvious he speaks two languages. Pretty smart person.
how many languages do you speak?
i tink teme (like meme) is cute !
I thought it was a trick to keep us all in tension and attend for the next team occurence
Im back once again for this great tutorial for a new Wordpress theme. This tutorial is really great and one of the best that I could find online. Thanks mate. Keep up the great work.
Oh wow, thank you so much, and Happy Coding :D
Al,
Thank you so much for these tutorials. I've been looking for something like this for ages. Ive spent many years just tweaking bought templates, but not fully understanding them.
Your tutorials are perfect to grasp the basics.
I hope that you keep going with them all, especially when as Wordpress progresses.
Cheers,
Tony
Tony Powell Thank you so much for your comment.
I was in your same situation almost 10 years ago, and I had to learn mostly by myself, breaking themes and rebuilding theme to fully understand the logic of WP. Conferences and expensive online classes were also part of the trick.
Anyway I always thought that tutorials for beginners or entry level should be free, just to give everyone a warm welcome on everything, doesn't matter how complex the topic is.
I will definitely improve the complexity of the topics and I will extend my tutorials, and probably in the future I will activate some small payment or donation system to watch more advanced tutorials, but everything will remain really affordable and I will keep releasing free tutorials for everyone.
Tnx so much, your video is not boring as you said, it's actually well paced for a beginner and does not make me dizzy like other videos from people who already know so much they can't explain with simplicity. tnx Alessandro.
Abriendo Tu Voz Awesome, thank you so much!
TL:DR Great KISS tutorial for beginners.
+Contentwise probably the best KISS tutorial i've watched so far (and i watched a lot, from Laracasts to Unity3d). I hope the other 19 video's are as clear and understandable as this one.
+Another upside is the speed. I could literally code along with the video. Which is very rare
-Only downside is the mediocre audio recording quality (mic quality is probably mainstream consumer, not pro).
+eL Jay Hi, thanks for watching and for your review.
I started these tutorials mostly to learn English and improve myself. The audio quality will be kinda crappy at least until video number 10, after that I purchased a microphone and learned a bit of audio editing. Sorry about that.
Thanks for following and Happy Coding!
thank you,
this is the best tutorial in the wordpress for providing fundamental knowledge for beginners to understand what is going on and why we need so many files and folders in wordpress folders
Thank you so much for your positive feedback, that was the goal of this series :D
Happy Coding
This is really a very good tutorial on how to create a wordpress theme from scratch !
Well done Alessandro, it's a pleasure to follow your lessons and thanks a lot for this great job !

Hi, thanks for watching.
I will do an intro on how to install wordpress in the future. This series is for developers, so it assumes a bit of knowledge about WP and how to put it on a server.
Cheers

+HectorVictorius5 That's awesome. PHP is tons of fun, and although it has it's little quirks, I think it's a good language to know. Good luck!

Really good tutorial but I was lost at the beggining. I didn't understand how at 1:15 you instaled lwordpress and how it works with appache and MySQL
Then again I only understand html and css so I dont know what Appache and MySQL is.
Thanks for watching.
Yes unfortunately this tutorial assumes you already have a website in wordpress up and running, and you know how to access it's source code.
I will do a video for beginners to show how to install wordpress and setup a proper server.
Cheers
That would be amazing! Thank you so much :D
It would be really nice if you show us the final product so we beginners know where we heading at but I do appreciate these tutorial vids and will check them all out. You got a sub also!
I didn't have a final product when I recorded this video. It's a journey from start to finish without knowing the destination :P
@@alecaddd Man I cant tell how much I appreciated this channel. Im currently low on budget for marketing but you help me out alot. You sir just taugth a man how to fish.
Wow~ It's amazing. It's really really helping me to understand wordpress cms. Thank you for your sharing. Btw, I already download all your videos from this list. Awesome tutorial. Like this.
Thanks for watching.
I know users download my videos because their internet connection is not great, but hopefully you won't share those videos or re-upload them as your own.
I get a small revenue from UA-cam views, and if I lose those, I will be forced to stop doing free tutorials.
Cheers
Got it. I fine with that. I will respect your tutorial.
This is a great tutorial!! btw subtitles made my day... "we can keep going from this point to create our real awesome theme" (Subs: "weekend keep going from this boy and to create our real awesome teen")

Cheers
Thank you, I will continue in the series. I have been looking for a solid tutorial and your style and logic speak to me!
You use a couple tools to set all this up, one you mention setting up WordPress on a local machine, and the second was what you write your code in. Do you have a tutorial on how to set up WordPress on a local machine & what/where do I find what you use to code? Thanks again!!
+LastFrontierDesigns What OS are you using?
If you want to setup your local environment on Windows, you can follow this tutorial: ua-cam.com/video/kuMTZowwjus/v-deo.html
For all the questions and suggestions about my Code Editor, check here: ua-cam.com/video/7TzQLH953dg/v-deo.html&t=9m28s

You lost me right away. What button did you click at 1:47? It's not visible.
I didn't push any button, I simple switch screen to my code editor.
You need a code editor to write code and build a custom theme.
Cheers
