What PHP concepts are essential for creating a WordPress theme? Thank you.
 
To gain a better understanding of how WordPress templates function, I recommend installing WordPress locally and opening the yearly template (such as "Twenty Twenty" or "Twenty Twenty-One") in a code editor like VSCode. By examining the source code of the template, you will grasp the underlying principles of template structure and functionality.

While familiarizing yourself with PHP is valuable, the emphasis here is on understanding the inner workings of WordPress templates. Many templates are variations or adaptations of each other, meaning that the PHP code used is often similar or even identical.

Indeed, creating templates that can seamlessly integrate with visual composers or Elementor is a straightforward task. It primarily involves having a good understanding of HTML, CSS, and JS. The PHP code serves the purpose of populating the content, while the surrounding elements consist mainly of standard HTML 5 components.

That's fantastic! As a front-end developer, this task should be relatively easy for you. Thank you so much!

I understand completely. I initially learned PHP, but when I delved into WordPress code, I felt overwhelmed and unsure of where to begin.
