In this tutorial I finish creating the index.php and footer.php code for my WordPress News Theme.
In this tutorial, I mention that I created a Social Network Plugin. The code for that plugin is available here WordPress Plugin Howto.
Like always, all of the code follows the video. You can use it however you’d like. If you want to see the News Theme in the real world checkout My Investment Services. That site is using my News Theme and Featured Content Slider.
In this tutorial I continue building the WordPress News Theme. If you missed the first part of this tutorial click that link.
I paused this tutorial so that I could make my WordPress Featured Content Slider. So, now that that is out of the way I’ll turn the HTML and CSS, I made previously, into a WordPress Theme.
I’ll start out by making header.php. Then I’ll show you how to grab the first image from a WordPress post and much more.
I continue fixing up the wp_nav_menu and the rest of my style.css code from my previous tutorial Creating a WordPress Theme.
I’ve received numerous requests to walk you all through the process of creating custom menus using WordPress 3.0’s wp_nav_menu. So, here I’ll describe everything you need to know. It is actually very easy to create a horizontal wp nav menu.
I’m going to ignore some of the options for the wp_nav_menu on purpose just so that you are not confused. If you want you can simply copy a paste the code below and everything will work in fact.
