So you want to create WordPress themes huh?
- Filed under: Tutorials
Creating a WordPress theme from scratch is not hard. I’ll hold your hand through it.
Tutorials on this topic have been written before and the WordPress website also has guides for you to follow. But are those tutorials and guides really helpful to you when you don’t understand the lingo? Even I got lost while reading the WordPress guides.
Tools – Before we get started tomorrow, you’ll need:
- WordPress installed on your computer. Follow the instructions on Installing WordPress Locally Under Windows XP. If you can’t install WordPress on your computer for whatever reason, no worries, just make a dummy WordPress install on your website.
- Notepad or other text editors. I use Notepad.
- SmartFTP – If you’ll be testing your theme online, I’d suggest that you download and install SmartFTP or another FTP program to upload your theme files.
- Bookmark XHTML Validator and CSS Validator. You’ll need those tools to validate your theme. They also come in handy when you need to spot and fix errors.

This looks like a great series. My only comment is that there is no printable version of it to make printing easy. I find I have trouble reading and retaining print from the computer screen. I think there was a study done once about this very thing!
Thanks for the tutorial! Much appreciated!
Thanks for the tutorials!! Great work!!
I have come accross one problem after running through your tutorial. Now when I attempt to make any changes to my blog via presentation or options I received the following error.
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/upperlak/public_html/wp-content/themes/upperlakepa/functions.php:1) in /home/upperlak/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 275
Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
I don’t have any.
SP, you know I’ve followed your blog for a while, but I’m now *finally* making my own theme. By following your tutorial, I’ve got a tremendous step in the right direction and I’m nothing but impressed by your tutorial’s flawless execution.
I really want to express a heartfelt “thank you” for all of your effort in this and your themes – I really feel like I’m accomplishing and learning something, which is (sadly) the first time I’ve felt that in a while.
FYI – the functions.php error I mentioned above was caused by the file being edited in an editor other than notepad or something very basic. My editor added blank spaces for formatting, and this is what screwed the file up (per wordpress).
Just figured I would pass along the info just in case…
Excellent tutorial

This is probably going to sound like a dumb question but I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find the answer? Now I’ve created my own new theme from scratch using your brilliant tutorials, how do I make my wordpress blog use my new theme? It’s probably really simple but I can’t find an upload or import link anywhere in my Admin dashboard. Surely it must be possible or why would you and everyone else bother designing themes?

It seems that i’m ggetting a 404 error with my php. i’ve installed xampp where i want to it works so i’ve decided to install the wordpress withing the same place and it seems to work but its telling me the url is incorrect and like i said the error shows up what can i do?
the wodpress folder should be installed under the xampp/htdocs folder.
Thank you so much for making the tutorials. You are very good at explaining things and making it clear. I have seen many on the internet and by far, this is the best one.
I have worked with wordpress and making layouts before, but I was not quite sure of what I was doing. Just a bunch of trial and errors. Thanks to this, I have gained a better understanding of wordpress and making themes. Not only do you tell us how to do it, you also explain the reasons behind it. Thank you for your hard work.

Hello,
I just want to know before I throw myself into another tutorial: ” I have 0 experience in PHP and only basic knowledge of html and css, will I be able to make a decent website?” I can make some cool graphics with photoshop and illustrator, and I can make STATIC sites pretty well. But is it possible to implement a link in your side-bar where so that when you click on “Blog” you get the sidebar etc, with the things you want in it?
Thanks. Greets!
Sven
Sven – My tutorial series was written for total newbies. It’ll guide you through php, xhtml, and css. As for your question about displaying the sidebar after clicking on a link, I don’t get what you’re trying to do.
http://www.ndesign-studio.com
Here you can see that he has a button for portfolio, blog etc. I want to be able to seperate the main content of my site from my blog. Is it possible to just put the Thingy on a site that I created myself with CSS?
Regards,
Sven
Those buttons are simply links taking you to different pages. But, knowing how to code button or tab menus take much more coding experience than what my tutorial series can show you.

Hi Small Potato
First of all : Thank you for this tutorial which I have followed and learned a lot from.
I’m having trouble with wordpress when I upload a the theme I’ve created based on your tutorial.
I changed a few things – mainly the css. And I’ve switched around a few of the php- calls for a different order of things.
Everything seems to work fine with the default theme on wordpress. But when I choose the theme I’ve created as the current theme there’s the problem that when I want to log in or log out I get blank pages. Also when I try to go back to the default theme I get a blank page.
I’ve seen in the forums that the problem with blank pages can arise from plugins – so I first removed all plugins. I have reinstalled WordPress – and the databases several times and the problem is still the same.
So I thought there is some sort of problem in my themes interaction with the rest of wordpress – but how do I find out what? Is there some way of validating your theme except from the css and html – which seems to be fine?
Have you any experience in common mistakes when creating your own themes that might cause this interaction problem (the blank pages)?
I hope you have a good idea?
best Kaja
I don’t know what’s the problem there and how to solve it. I have to know what modifications you’ve made. If you still have this problem, please post your questions at the forums.

In addition to my previous post. It’s not so much with these templates but in general when messing around with them.
Bobby
I’m not sure. If you’re just messing around with xhtml and css, then it’s pretty hard to create any security hole. PHP is a different story.

how do you make 3-column wordpress themes instead of two? thanks.

oh, and then label it sidebar 2? or something like that?
you got it
. download a three column theme first. see how it’s done.
Hey! This site really helped with the basics, but there are errors along the way and it doesn’t teach how to solve it, and hwy certain errors occur! Also..if we knew the basics..how do we know what those other tags to like #wrapper {Just an example} Besides..will we know how to put images, and do image maps using CSS, and those fancy things as well?! Overall this guide is awesome. I just don’t know where to seek out in terms of creating fancy styles with images and really nice css for links! I am a former cutenews user and coded everything with tables, so wordpress is soooooo brand new and I don’t know how the “pros” started but I sure am lost!
You can’t ask for a guide that teaches you everything. Something like that doesn’t exist. The way you do it is by going through other designers’ CSS codes. Learn their techniques the same way they learned from others.
Thanks for the tutorial!

Hey SP,
Thanks for a job well done! Just have a question for ya.. Can you suggest any good sites/tutorials for spicing up your blog? (How to add images for headers, making sidebars more “graphical”,adding left as well as right sidebar–although that one I could probably figure out from what you showed us;-) etc..) or will you be creating a tutorial for that soon? (Would definitely look forward to it!)
wonderful tutorial. wordpress is always the best choice for blogging nowadays.
@mike – you’ll have to search for techniques that you want to implement as you learn more about css. there are a lot of general tutorial sites, but not many that will show you how to specifically do something to spice up your blog.
I would just like to say I thank you very much for this, it has really helped me overall. It helps me understand that really was what I was having trouble understanding. Also it helped me understand how to build a wp blog.
If you could sum this all up in one Ebook that would be awesome. If you can do that, please email it to me at mike2732 [at] gmail.com
If you could do this, I will provide the Ebook free on several forums for other users, and provide a link back to this site. It would be awesome, and would really help me, because I don’t like reading off screens.
Thanks so much,
Mike2732
If you’re subscribed to Wpdeesigner’s feed, you can find an ebook download link to another version of this tutorial series, a more recent version.
I subscribed, I’ve been looking for the past 10 minutes, couldn’t find it
Can you please send me a link?
Thanks!
Mike2732
I think you’ll need a feed reader like Google Reader to grab the link. Off the top of my head, I don’t remember the address.
I wasn’t sure what you meant by Google Reader, but I looked it up, and I actually found Google Reader, and was feeding from your RSS, but I couldn’t manage to find the link
I’m not rushing you or anything, if your busy at the moment, just get back to me when you can with the link, theres no rush.
Sorry for this, maybe I’m just stupid =\ lol.
Thanks

If you’re using Google Reader, click on one of the posts. The link should be at the very bottom of that post.

I tweaked a theme I downloaded… and am really close to having it where I need it. But, I have a problem. I resized it to 300px which is what I need. You can see it at http://www.win1040.com on the right hand side. It looks good. But, when you click on one of the posts the text doesn’t wrap. It disappears off the right edge as if the theme were much wider than it is. What am I doing wrong? Why does the main page look good and the rest don’t?
Please email me at john@r180.com.
Off the top of my head, I can’t tell you for sure. I don’t know what theme you’re using and what methods you’re implementing to display that area.
My guess right now is the page you’re trying to iframe hasn’t been set to adjust to the width of the iframe.
Well, the theme that I tweaked is called ‘olive green’. I don’t want a horizontal scroll bar, which is why I made the theme 300px. It’s in a 300px iframe. However, if you look at the actual blog page without the iframe the problem remains.
You can go here- http://r180.com/blog/win1040main/ and see it. That one looks good… but, when you click on a post you see the problem. I only changed code in the style.css file. Let me know what info you need and I’ll do my best to communicate it. I’ve never worked with css or php before.
I think I’m in the ballpark now… if I change the ‘overflow’ to ‘visible’, then I can scroll horizontally to see the whole post. But, it’s still not what I want. I want to keep it at 300px and have the content wrap. I don’t want the horizontal scroll bar. Any ideas?
Why not let the blog page have 100% width so it’ll adjust to any iframe? For future questions, please use the Wpdesigner support forums. Thanks John.
[...] Big thanks to Small potato at WP Designer for writing a great tutorial! See Here [...]

Hi,
I am new with wordpress blog but managed to use your theme ‘wrath’ at my site.
One question:
How to put ‘count’ to display the number of posts in the categories and archives. example: post title (2) or November (1)
Hope you can help.
Regards.
Fred Chan
Fred – Look on WordPress.org for wp_list_categories or wp_list_cats, it should give you the full guide.
So it is really that people create WordPress themes to get the backlinks to their site. Sometimes at the footer, they put 3-4 links..
@LL – It’s unfair to make that assumption. I, for one, don’t create themes for that reason.
Please post irrelevant comments at the Wpdesigner forums. Thank you.
Sorry, i just want to give my opinion, it is a great works when people sharing good templates with every body and it is cool when it is free!

Thanks imp0ster. I’m glad it helped you.
i just finished coding my layout and i set out to code the wordpress into it (as i had done with a previous layout and it worked out good). I coded this layout a bit different, i used some tables and the tables had background images in the index.php file. But when i preview my theme none of the images from the index.php file show up, only the ones that i had done in the style sheet do. Why is this? and am i able to keep the layout the way i have it or do i have to load all the images in the stylesheet?

I tried to put there image by common html tag:
but that doesn’t help. How can I get image into header? I also tried to set that image as background to header div in stylesheets but it won’t display…
I’m desperate.
Sorry… it didn’t display html tags in my comment but I hope you know what I mean…
Use an image tag or a background. It sounds like you’re linking to the wrong location.
Well… I have done it by background-image…
Image tag just doesn’t work in header… don’t know why…
And one more thing… do links in sidebar have some special class… so I can style them together in stylesheet?
No, but some lists of unique ids. you can target those instead. What are the IDs? I have no idea. You have to check the source code. It’s unique for almost every blog.

This is why you shouldn’t sell this blog.
Put it on ice for a few months. There is so much great content on here, it could go a year without updates and still get tons of traffic.
Why?
Posts like this.
There are ways to make money with this blog and I’m afraid someone is going to come along, buy the blog from you (at a good price) and then make 10x more money off it.
Without adding posts like this.

Hey SP. I just finished all the lessons. I want to thank you for all the time and effort that you put into this. It is truly a great help.
However I have one question.
Everything seems to work, except when I click on the name of the post. For example: I have Hello World as the name of the post. I then get:
Object not found!
The requested URL was not found on this server. The link on the referring page seems to be wrong or outdated. Please inform the author of that page about the error.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 404
I’ve gone over this tutorial a couple times as I think it is here that I messed up, but I cannot find a problem.
When I hover over Hello World here is what shows up:
http://localhost/wordpress/the_permalink()
Can you tell me what is wrong?
Thanks.

Hi
This really is a great intro to WordPress if you have the patience to follow it through . Many thanks
You end up with quite a good grasp of how wordpress files are structured which is really useful as a newbie.
Really I’d like to use wordpress as a web-site tool rather than a blog so – still a lot to learn . Any recommendations of tutorials on this?
A great introduction – thanks again for your generosity in posting this on the web.
