WordPress for Developers - Custom Fields

Characteristics Of This Class:

Save time and energy when updating your WordPress website by using Custom Fields to show the same type of content over and over again! Custom Fields make it easy to display different information with the same format on each page of your site.

This workshop will demystify Custom Fields and teach you to harness their real power! You'll learn how templates and Custom Fields interact, and how to use CSS to style elements like product catalogs, book review pages, floating content areas, and more!

This workshop will cover:

The Custom Fields interface
The Custom Fields Template plugin
Defining Custom Fields and adding them to your template file
Displaying different content in the sidebar or header for each page of your site
Styling discreet pieces of information uniquely with CSS
Controlling the display of pages and posts individually

Please note:
WordPress.org is different from WordPress.com. WordPress.com is only for blogs and non-commercial sites. BDA's workshops cover WordPress.org.
