A helpful overview, @cynthianorman. I appreciate the highlight of when to use a plugin instead of the functions.php.
At 2:28, the slide shows the soon-to-be-old design of the Theme Directory. It’s probably safe to replace it with the upcoming design that’s supposed to launch soon: https://wordpress.org/themes/?new-theme=1.
