WordPress Customisation for Dummies (Like Me)

A lot of beginners encounter all sort of tutorials on how to add some custom code to the functions.php file or even more basic: change the layout beyond what the customiser allows.

In this session, I want to introduce WordPress beginners to some good standards in terms of customisation:

  • Setting up a child theme (through a plugin)
  • Adding custom CSS to that child theme (and showing how to do it through Jetpack)
  • Adding custom PHP to the child theme
