This document provides instructions on converting a Photoshop (PSD) design into a WordPress theme. It explains that you should visualize how the PSD design will translate to HTML elements like headers, menus, content areas, etc. before beginning to code. Key areas covered include using an existing framework versus coding from scratch, including necessary WordPress functions and files, and organizing code into templates, functions.php, and other standard WordPress theme files. The goal is to understand the technical structure of the design and properly structure the theme code.

Often WordPress themes are not easy to change, maintain or fun to work on. This can rule WordPress out as a viable option for bespoke, non-trivial websites.
In this talk we’ll dive into how this happens & look at how we can benefit from software engineering techniques to help make your code easier to change. I’ll also show how using Lumberjack, a powerful MVC framework built on Timber, can be used to power-up your themes.

Introduction to Optimizing WordPress for Website SpeedNile Flores
Google loves a speedy website, and well… your visitors like a speedy website too. This is not the dial-up days. Your content, plugins you run, and your host can be factors in slowing down your website.
I’m going to show you how to speed up your WordPress website using WordPress plugins, some services, and a little code. I’m also going to share what tools I like used in order to optimize website speed so that you can also use them too.
(Updated version)
Revamped talk that presented at WordCamp Miami 2020.
Keeping your website secure is important. No one likes a site that has nasty code injections or looks like it’s been hacked. In fact, WordPress Security is one of the issues that continually needs to be taught to WordPressers around the world because for some people, their website is their livelihood.
I’m not here to make your head pop off with mind boggling hardening tricks. I’m here to give you an introduction to WordPress Security. I might make you laugh, but security is a serious matter. I will be covering a couple methods to secure your WordPress website, and even a couple beginner tips on what to do if your site has been hacked.
By the end of this session, I hope you find a security method that suits you, and are more aware of the importance of securing your WordPress website.
So, you want to create a website, and make money, but don’t know where to begin? Or maybe you’ve got a site and dabbled a little, but still need more ideas on how to generate cash flow? Well, this is the presentation to be at.
We’ll be talking about:
1. Ways you can make money using WordPress
2. Tips to set you on the right path
3. WordPress plugins to assist you along the way
And by the way, I’m giving you a couple links to a large list of links to some of those money making opportunities too! Hopefully by the time you walk away from this WordCamp, you’ll be able to start creating your own plan, implement some of the tips mentions in this talk, and begin making some money with your WordPress website.
I’m literally giving you the kitchen sink, because you’ll have references to some articles that have lots of opportunities for you to make money with your blog and social media handles.
[ Note: Because LinkedIn SlideShare no longer allows re-uploading slides to modify presentations, on the e-Commerce link, there is a plugin missing - WooCommerce. You can find that at http://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce ]
So, you’ve got a WordPress site, and keep hearing that you need to do some social media marketing. You’re probably wonder why you need both social media and a website, and if you do need social media, how to take advantage of social media. I’m going to tell why you need social media, how to hook your WordPress site up to social networks using specific plugins, and a few social media tips to get you going.

Google Quality Guidelines 101 for WordPress BloggersNile Flores
Google is always changing up it’s algorithms. It’s not because Google wants to keep you on your toes, but Google wants you to put your best foot forward.
In order to do that, they’ve put together Quality Guidelines and have started to enforce them. So… what does that mean for the website owner?
I’m going to go over a checklist of things you should be doing with your WordPress blog. Some of it is about site speed, security, and content. Hopefully this checklist will help you understand what you should be doing for your website.
Creating a WordPress Website that Works from the StartNile Flores
Installing WordPress, plugins, and a theme is just a start, but in maintaining and growing your website, you’ve got to make plans. Sure, your initial idea of creating a WordPress site for whatever reason is great, but if you’re trying to get people to either subscribe to your newsletter, share your posts, fill out your lead forms, leave a comment on your posts, click an ad, or buy your stuff, you’ve got more to do.
If you’re not getting some type of return on investment, which is to get people to do something on your website, then your website is broken. Come sit in and let me help you fix your problem by giving you ideas that you can use.

Teaching Your Clients How to Use WordPressNile Flores
You’ve probably seen it happen- someone complains because they just got a website, but they don’t know how to use it. Their designer or developer or project manager just left them high and dry without some type of direction or documentation.
Let’s face it, as a designer or developer or project manager, you’re definitely going to run into someone who isn’t really that familiar with WordPress. In fact, you’ll encounter all sorts of user levels when it comes to working with clients. How do you teach your client how to use their WordPress website? How do you figure it into your project’s scope? If you don’t like teaching them, what can you do to make sure your relationship with your client ends on a good note because you were diligent to give them the tools they need to continue on their own?
I’ll be going over strategies to help you put together a plan on teaching your clients how to use WordPress. Let’s decrease the frustration together and allow your clients to become enthusiastic WordPress users that are making money.

Sometimes when using WordPress, things go wrong. Never fear though... there's ways to Troubleshoot WordPress. This covers some of the why it happens and how to troubleshoot it.
WordPress has been built by hundreds of volunteers around the world. I’m not just talking about the code and design itself, but also themes, plugins, documentation, tutorials, and more. The community itself benefits from the free time that you can give. It doesn’t have to be much, and sometimes doesn’t require a ton of skill, except knowing WordPress. I know WordCamp attendees have a specific purpose to attend for specific topics, but if you’ve ever thought about giving back to the WordPress community, but not sure about how, THIS would be the presentation to sit in on.

WordPress SEO: Getting Back to the BasicsNile Flores
Presented at WordSesh2. SEO is not hard. If you think it's a game, then you're doing it wrong. With WordPress, and your content, you have a lot of things you can do to stay organic in your search results. The first step is getting back to the basics.
In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

2. Explain how to take an image like a PSD and
convert it over to WordPress
Cover whether you can use an existing
framework, code with a Web page editor
program or if it is best to code from scratch
Reveal some tricks to making the process easier
3. Please note that we will assume that you already
know how PSD, HTML, and CSS. You are familiar
with how to at least translate a PSD over to HTML
and CSS.
You do not have to know HTML and CSS by heart
and you can use a web page editor program, but you
should learn enough code to do what is necessary
so you do not have to lean on a program as a crutch.
4. If you have designed a theme in layers using PSD
(or the equivalent in another graphic editor
program), no layers should be merged
Visualize how your theme will look
Designate main areas in your theme with HTML
elements as followed:
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
11.
12. Visualizing the technical structure of your
theme is extremely important. You cannot
even begin to code without knowing what
areas of your theme belong where,
especially code-wise.
13. <!-- Your DOC TYPE INFO -->

<div id=“sidebar"> SIDEBAR CODE HERE</div>
<div id="footer"> FOOTER CODE HERE</div>
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>
</html>
17. If you have pages and posts that need to be individually
themed, you can definitely theme them. Just name the template
with either of the following:
page-{id}.php
page-{slug}.php
post-{id}.php
Label page template with:
<?php /* Template Name: Your Template Name */ ?>
Label post template with:
<?php /* Template Name Posts: Your Post Name or Even ID */
?>
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy
18. http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop
This calls your content to a post, page or even
custom post type. Whatever you type in the
backend will populate where you put and
customized your loop.
It goes in theme files like your index.php,
single.php, and page.php- just to name a few.
19. <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"
title="Permanent Link to <?php if ( function_exists('the_title_attribute'))
the_title_attribute(); else the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title();
?></a></h2>
<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
21. <?php else : ?>
<h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
<p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for
something that isn't here.</p>
<?php get_template_part('searchform'); // Navigation
bar (searchform.php) ?>
<?php endif; ?>
22. Meta info
<?php the_author() ?>
<?php the_time('m-d-Y') ?>
<?php the_category(', ') ?>
<?php the_tags(); ?>
Link and number to post comments
<?php comments_popup_link(__('0 Comments', ‘yourthemename'),
__('1 Comment', ' yourthemename '), __('% Comments', '
yourthemename ')); ?>
23. This is normally the template that is for individual
posts and differs from the index.php because it
includes the php call to the WordPress comment
template.
<?php comments_template(); ?>
24. <?php if ( post_password_required() ) : ?>
<?php
/* Stop the rest of comments.php from
being processed,
* but don't kill the script entirely -- we still
have
* to fully load the template.
*/
return;
endif;
?>
<!-- You can start editing here. -->
25. <?php if ($comments) : ?>
<h2 id="comments">Comments <?php comments_number('(0)',
'(1)', '(%)' );?></h2>
<div class="commentlist">
<ol>
<?php wp_list_comments(); ?>
</ol>
</div>
<?php else : // this is displayed if there are no comments so far ?>
<?php if ('open' == $post->comment_status) : ?>
<!-- If comments are open, but there are no comments. --
>
<?php else : // comments are closed ?>
<!-- If comments are closed. -->
<p class="nocomments">Comments are closed.</p>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
26. <div class="navigation">
<?php paginate_comments_links(); ?>
</div>
<?php if ('open' == $post->comment_status) : ?>
<div class="respond">
<h3 id="respond_title">Write a comment</h3>
<div class="cancel-comment-reply">
<small><?php cancel_comment_reply_link(); ?></small>
</div>
<?php if ( get_option('comment_registration') && !$user_ID ) : ?>
<p>You must be <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-
login.php?redirect_to=<?php echo urlencode(get_permalink()); ?>">logged in</a>
to post a comment.</p>
<?php else : ?>
<?php comment_form(); ?>
<?php endif; // If registration required and not logged in ?>
</div>
<?php endif; // if you delete this the sky will fall on your head ?>
27. The functions.php file acts much like a plugin to give
your theme dynamic functionality. It is theme
specific, meaning if you change to a different theme
and the functions are different, then you will lose
that functionality unless you put that same code in
the new theme.
31. Text Domain
// Text domain
load_theme_textdomain(‘yourthemenamehere');
Content Width
// Specific Content Width
if ( ! isset( $content_width ) )
$content_width = 625;
Feed Support
// Add default posts and comments RSS feed links to <head>.
add_theme_support( 'automatic-feed-links' );
32. You can consult the Functions Reference in the
Codex for more awesome functions.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference
33. Your functions.php is, as I said earlier something
theme specific. Plugins can work across themes.
It is your decision on what you want to be theme
specific, but ALWAYS remember that if you change
your theme and wonder why you are missing a
dynamic function… well, go back to the previous
functions.php and get the code.
Otherwise put together a plugin to retain
functionality from theme to theme.
35. <title><?php
/*
* Print the <title> tag based on what is being viewed.
*/
global $page, $paged;
wp_title( '|', true, 'right' );
// Add the blog name.
bloginfo( 'name' );
// Add the blog description for the home/front page.
$site_description = get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' );
if ( $site_description && ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) )
echo " | $site_description";
// Add a page number if necessary:
if ( $paged >= 2 || $page >= 2 )
echo ' | ' . sprintf( __( 'Page %s', 'darkdream' ), max( $paged,
$page ) );
?></title>
37. Some people include in their header.php all code up
to where the content itself begins. It is up to you on
how you want to document and organize your code.
Keep in mind that if you are designing for a client or
that your theme will be handled by another
developer, that you try to make your code fairly easy
to decipher.
The wp_head call MUST be in your header.php
before the ending head tag in your theme template.
38. To call the header.php file from an individual
template file like index.php, page.php, single.php,
etc, the general php call for the header is fine-
<?php get_header(); ?>
39. Of course, this is where you will beautify your
theme. You can change the typography, the colors,
and anything to your hearts wish. Just make sure to
document each area for easier developing later on.
40. Make sure your style.css starts with the following
whether you are designing for a client or for a free
theme to give out in the WordPress Theme
Repository.
41. /*
Theme Name: Your Theme Name
Theme URI: Link to Example Theme
Description: Brief Theme Description
Version: 1.0
Author: Your Name
Author URI: Your Link
Tags: two-columns, blue, pink, gray, threaded-comments, full-
width-template, custom-menu
License: GPL
License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html
*/
42. In your sidebar.php, you need to put a code to call
what you put in your widgets.
<ul>
<?php if (!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() )
: ?>
<li>Static Content</li>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
The static content is if you want to add your own coding
that will not be controlled by the custom widgets in the
WordPress backend.
43. To call the sidebar.php file from an individual template file like
index.php, page.php, single.php, or even within the footer
(wherever you want your widgets to be), the default sidebar
would be called to the page as-
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
Other sidebar widgets can be called like-
<?php /* A sidebar in the footer? Yep. You can can customize
* your footer with three columns of widgets.
*/
if ( ! is_404() ) get_sidebar( 'footer' ); ?>
44. Remember when we put covered the Functions.php
of your theme? Well, this is an example of how to
call that custom menu to wherever you put it in your
theme.
<?php /* Our navigation menu. If one isn't filled out, wp_nav_menu
falls back to wp_page_menu. The menu assiged to the primary
position is the one used. If none is assigned, the menu with the lowest
ID is used. */ ?>
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) ); ?>
45. This is used for your theme’s search when you call it to
your theme’s template
<form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php echo home_url();
?>/">
<div><input type="text" value="<?php the_search_query(); ?>"
name="s" id="s" />
<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />
</div>
</form>
46. To call the search form in your searchform.php,
place the follow call to your theme template
wherever you wish your search form to display-
<?php get_template_part('searchform'); // Navigation bar
(searchform.php) ?>
48. <?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>
</html>
The footer file can contain footer widgets or
whatever you like. The wp_footer php call must be

<?php get_footer(); ?>
