    This is going to be helpful, I just got into wordpress and I am not good at it, yet!

  • http://bleucellar.com Mike

    oh wow, love it, haven’t learned all the tags yet so this will save a lot of time looking through tutorials and the wordpress codex. thanks!!

  • Richard

    I love cheat sheets so the more the better, however, as I’ve let the author know on the linked site, it seems that the get_calendar() function is in there twice in the WordPress Template Tags section.

    Nevertheless this is great for me.

    Yes awesome cheatsheet by Ekin. I wish it was in an html page, as opposed to pdf. Who prints these days anyway?

  • Parsons

    Terrific! I’ve seen other WP cheat sheets, but this is one very well thought out and it never hurts to have more than one. Thanks!

  • http://cosydale.com slaFFik

    There are already LOTS of such cheat sheets. You can google them just in 1 minute. Why do we need one more? Don’t understand, really…

    • http://twitter.com/cupcakeluv Brooke

      you can never have too many handy WP cheat sheets! no one is forcing you to download it, stop complaining.

    • http://ekinertac.com Ekin Ertaç

  • Joni Geels

    I just installed WordPress and am having a great time learning it!!! Thanks for the cheats. I’m sure they will be very handy!

  • http://www.soulsizzle.com Ryan

    Oh, if my printer hadn’t died on me the other day.

  • http://www.brianswebdesign.com Brian Temecula

    I just wish there was more! WordPress is a big gnarley beast.

  • http://atourworst.org Jordan

    While I don’t mind having to go to the WordPress Codex to look up some things, having something like this on hand definitely helps. The cheat sheet I have is way outdated (2.7) so now I can finally replace it.

    My only qualm is that I wish it wasn’t landscape and that the color contrast was better so it would be more readable. Oh well, beggars can’t be choosers!

    • Nori Silverrage

      Well I hardly consider one version way outdated, outdated yes, but there wasn’t soo many changes in 2.8 that you would be lost… :) However, a current cheat sheet is a good thing.

  • http://www.migueltavares.com/blog/ Miguel Tavares

    Thanks alot for it, just downloaded and printed a copy!

  • http://wingsofwax.ca Ian M Rountree

    This is an excellent idea! Granted, it’s rather contextual and bare-bones, but it’s just enough to ensure a -working- theme, which I assume is the point. The devil is in the details, as they say, but as previous poster Jordan says, that’s what the Codex is for.
    Handy! Awesome!

  • http://www.aldrinponce.com aldrin

    great cheat sheet, hope there will be chm format or manual for wp.

  • http://www.spoonfedproject.com/ Blaine

    Just a thought… why not link each block of information to it’s respective area within the WordPress Codex?

    Have a look here for a complete list of functions.

    • http://teamnirvana.com/blog Suneel

      This would be very good to have hands on. Might be in the near future we can expect the same.

  • NotAlame

    Thanks a lot!

    Thats will save time for more than one!

  • http://www.pixmac.com Vitezslav Valka

    Will save this for the future. I was thinking once, that I should be rewarded to convince others to use WP… I’m now taking care of about 4 blogs on it…

  • http://seventytwelve.com/ Jerry

    Really helpful. I just finished my first WordPress custom job and now I’m starting on another. This will definitely help me out.

    Thanks.

  • Michael Jenkins

    This is amazing!
    Instead of looking through the WordPress Codex for tags and etc when I am in the middle of developing a WordPress theme or plugin I can refer to this cheat sheet and 9 times out of 10 has what I am looking for.
    Thanks man, really impressive and very visually attractive!

  • mel

    nice, but a warning:
    noticed a depricated function in the list:
    wp_list_cats();

    not sure if there are more, I’m not a good WP coder

    DBS>Interactive created a handy new WordPress Reference Guide for Developers, designed to expedite the process of internal theme development. It contains a plethora of tags, displayed in an easy to use format. I invite you to utilize our WordPress Reference Guide, and tell us what you think.

    These are great WordPress resources – I actually just started digging into a really really solid book on WordPress 3.0. It’s got some really nice code samples, and is written by a few pro WordPress developers (including some from Envato). I’m actually giving away 2 copies of the e-book on my site – check out the details about the e-book and the giveaway here – I think you’ll dig it : http://bit.ly/lq20Ff
