  • čas přidán 6. 03. 2019
  • You may have your own static HTML website that you want to convert to your own WordPress theme, or you found an amazing HTML Template that you want to use with WordPress but they do not have a WordPress theme available. This tutorial will explain to you how to convert an HTML Template to a WordPress Theme the simplest way possible.
    To convert the HTML template to a WordPress theme, we will be using the latest version of WordPress, along with a handy plugin for WordPress called "Advanced Custom Fields" - this will allow you to retain the overall design which is hard to maintain if you purely use WordPress' code editor. We will not use Gutenberg, so don't worry.
    Why would you convert a static html template or website to WordPress theme? Well, the reason is so that you can easily update it in future, it has all of WordPress' SEO benefits and is much simpler to edit.
    Converting an HTML Template or Website to a WordPress theme is not as hard as you think. This tutorial is 1.5 hours, and it will explain some basic fundamentals of converting your HTML theme to a WordPress theme but it does not mention absolutely everything.
    If there are things you still want to know regarding converting an html template to WordPress, feel free to ask in the below comments and I will try my very best to assist you.
    The HTML template we used was "Luigis" located here:
    colorlib.com/wp/template/luigis/
    We used Advanced Custom Fields www.advancedcustomfields.com/.

      Yeah, that is the worst thing. When i was learning basics of programming i was wondering if at some point i should always remember everything. Now i know that even if you remember a lot, you won't remember everything. At the end, the most important skill in programming is to know how to google things you need :) well at least for generic stuff

    One thing I forgot to mention is if you want to use the standard WordPress content editor box that ships default with WordPress, you can use this code to include it into your template.

    This was super fast but thankfully I can pause, rewind, repeat, take a break, come back with fresh eyes and resume. This was outstanding. I've seen countless videos on converting HTML to wordpress but they always lacked something and I couldn't put my finger on it. I can now, it was the quality of the work you did Vs what they showed. One concern though is you essentially cannot add new wordpage pages in the WP editor retaining the existing look of the site, right? I would assume if an organization has a static HTML site their content may not change often but I would love to see a tutorial on how to add new pages while retaining the styles just imported, if this is possible.

  • @mrdigitalau
    @mrdigitalau  Před 5 lety +15

    Small Update: When adding scripts (JS) to your functions.php - if you wish to use jQuery which is included by WordPress as default, just do wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); you do not have to register the script as it is built in. You can also remove the "deregister_script('jquery')". Wordpress automatically has a version of jQuery so it might be easier and better for future plugins you add to your website if you use that version.

    Btw, it looks like the ACF changed the workflow.
    Now you can use the get_field() function to get any field, regardless the field group. So, in the moment 30:14, you don't need to fetch the get_field('hero') first. Just go straight to the get_field('small_title') instead.
    Cheers.
