Wordpress Theme Development

A comprehensive workflow for building WordPress themes with strong coverage of WordPress 7.0 features like the admin refresh, pattern editing with ContentOnly mode, and navigation overlays. It walks through the full theme lifecycle from scaffolding to template hierarchy, custom post types, and Gutenberg block integration. The source includes actual code snippets for theme.json v3 configuration, RTC-compatible custom post type registration, and responsive navigation overlays. Best suited for developers building custom themes from scratch rather than tweaking existing ones. The workflow is methodical but assumes you already know WordPress fundamentals. It shines in the block editor and modern theme.json sections where WordPress 7.0 specifics really matter.
