    Hey Adi,

    It will be nice to see how you create an theme option page, like you said in a video that most premiu themes have.

    I`m interested because I want to see a different approach of this subject.

    P.S. This was a very nice series, I hope you will do other series similar with this.

  • Valeriu

    Great series Adi.

    About that problem when the images are bigger that the content container. I think that setting up that max width for uploaded images is not the right approach. What if the user wants to open the image with the real size in a lightbox? This issue can be easily fixed via css:

    Ex: .container img { max-width: 100%; height: auto; }

      You told in one of videos or maybe comments on some of those videos from series that you’ll show something later in options panel. I was hoping that i will see it in this series.

        I was probably talking about the theme options (or the customizer to be exact). See previous video :)

      • Adi Purdila

        Hi Panky,

        Page.php and Single.php only display a single post/page, not all posts. Even tho we have a loop, a single database record is loaded and displayed in these templates. If you want to display more posts use either index.php or, depending on the purpose of that page, you can use tag.php, category.php, etc. Depends what you wanna do.

        I hope this helps :)

        • Panky

          Aha ty for info i try to do a changes =)

  • Matt

    Big thanks from France Adi. I watch your videos everyday and i’m glad. But, could you make a tutorial about : how to create a custom panel options “work” in backend – to add a content type as a post or a page. Big thanks and have a lot of fun ; )

  • Bucur Ion Niculae

    A good job I liked this series of tutorials video.The thems look great…

  • jkd

    Thank you Adi, this has been a great tutorials, THE best. It would be nice if you could add OPTIONS page tut to complement this tutorial. The reason that WordPress is great is because people like you who are able and willing to share their knowledge. Thank you very much.

  • Tomasz Jański

    Hi Adi. It was a real pleasure to learn this how to build a WordPressTheme. Thank you for being clear and precise. It really helps. Looking forward to next ‘episode’ with more advanced options. Bye.

    Any chance you can post the final .less file? I’d like to make some adjustments with that

  • Abdelmomen Bauomy

    Thanks Adi

  • Carlos Tur

    This is the best tutorial I’ve seen about WordPress themes.

    I suggest a next tutorial about custom post types.

  • Mark Szymanski

    This has been a fantastic tutorial, almost finished. Very thorough, though I’d say a few video’s on more loop manipulation with wp_query and query_posts examples would be awesome. Cheers

  • saeed

    I just watched the last 2 videos and it was a beautiful journey with you Adi learning all about WP. I may go over it again once I build a custom design theme for my upcoming DJ site. Great ideas and well implemented.
    God bless you for providing the world with your knowledge.

    @Adi Purdila, thank you so much for an awesome series!

    I am trying to translate the theme into Romanian and don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Were you able to get it to display the text in another language? What should I do after I created the .mo file?

    • http://www.sugartoastdesign.com/ Nelu Malancea

      I think the problem was that the hook should be ‘after_setup_theme’ instead of ‘after_theme_setup’, for localization in functions.php.

        Thanks for these Nelu, seems I missed them :)
