3 Best WordPress Cheat Sheets Working with WordPress is almost like learning a new language. Not only do you need to learn some of the basic fundamentals of PHP, but you also need to learn what WordPress tags go where, and what they do. Since nobody has the time to do that these days, I thought it would be about time to break out my WordPress cheat sheet collection. This first WordPress cheat sheet comes from Ekin Ertac’s blog: It covers a lot of the basics for your template and theme creation tags, and can also be downloaded at blog.ekinertac.com. The WP Help Sheet is the next one I want to show you. Last, but not least, we have a cheat sheet for template tags to use in WordPress from DBS Interactive. Hope these three cheat sheets help out the next time you dive into WordPress template editing, and get a little lost.
WordPress Cheat Sheets: Theme Anatomy Model Next in line for our WordPress Cheat Sheet series, The Basic WordPress Theme Anatomy Model! If you haven't seen the first posts in this series, this is a new batch of these quick pocket guides that you guys n' gals can download, save to your phones for a fast reference, or even print out and keep next to your desk while you're working on customizing WordPress to do your bidding. This is what's generally considered to be the "basic theme anatomy". It's important to note a few things though: Not every file that a theme can use is present here (we'll actually have a massive cheat sheet on that in the next Cheat Sheet installment!). Also - technically, all you actually need to create a theme is a single "style.css" file... so you don't need each of these files shown either, although most themes nowadays (except child themes) will use all of these at a bare minimum. This is simply a rough diagram to give you an idea of what makes up the most generic of WordPress themes out there!
The Ultimate WordPress Cheat Sheet Messing around in WordPress is a pure knowledge thing.
