WordPress Started in 2003 as a Content Management System, which covers 24% web now a days.
It is open source CMS, worked with basics of PHP and MySQL.
There are lot of plugins available which makes easy to establish your WP website in simple and efficient way.
IF you are a UI Developer and all you need is that your website respond dynamically, then definitely you'll go for WP.
Below are the Some Basic Code Snippet, which is used when You are going to Convert Your HTML to WP.
1:) Making Custom Widget: Use this code in function.php widget area and update file.
register_sidebar( array(
'name' => __( 'Logo', 'twentyfifteen' ),
'id' => 'logo',
'description' => __( 'Add logo here to appear in your sidebar.', 'twentyfifteen' ),
'before_widget' => '',
'after_widget' => '',
'before_title' => '',
'after_title' => '',
) );
Now your widget would be created in the Widget Section under Appearance of your WP Dashboard.
Now all you need is to call that widget to that section, where you want.
<?php dynamic_sidebar('logo') ?>
Now your client can easily update information, relevant to that widget, without struggling with the code. Because you call that particular content by making widget dynamically, which is easily editable to the client.
2:) Making Custom Post: Use this code in function.php custom header area and update file.
/* photography custom post */
add_action('init', 'photography');
function photography() {
$faq_args = array(
'labels' => array(
'name' => __( 'Photography' ),
'singular_name' => __( 'Photos' ),
'add_new' => __( 'Add Photos' ),
'add_new_item' => __( 'Add Photos' ),
'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Photo' ),
'new_item' => __( 'Add Photos' ),
'view_item' => __( 'View Photos' ),
'search_items' => __( 'Search Photos' ),
'not_found' => __( 'No Photos found' ),
'not_found_in_trash' => __( 'No Photos found in trash' )
),
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'capability_type' => 'post',
'hierarchical' => false,
'rewrite' => true,
'menu_position' => 80,
'supports' => array('title', 'editor','comments', 'thumbnail')
);
register_post_type('Photos',$faq_args);
}
add_filter("manage_faq_edit_columns", "photography_edit_columns");
function photography_edit_columns($photography_columns){
$photography_columns = array(
"cb" => "<input type=\"checkbox\" />",
"id" => "ID",
"title" => "Title",
);
return $photography_columns;
