Great Post!

Hi, its great work. My manu bar (header) is not working properly as it showing in the post.

[dimitrimoderbacher]

Yes, thanks so much for this article, Tania! It really lays out how WP is put together. I had actually been looking for exactly this type of tutorial for a while.

Didn't notice that now you have comments. Amazing!

Now I can thank you so much for having made one of the best tutorials out there for making WordPress themes from scratch.

There's a surprising shortage of content on this, and it gets even bigger when it comes to making WordPress plugins.

I sincerely love this series of posts, and I'm really grateful with you for having made this.

Also, I'll leave these YouTube series about WordPress development because I think they are also some of the best resources out there, and far from being a replacement for your tutorials, I'd say they are a great complement:

How you all get to learn all the things you've been wanting to learn, and thank you again Tania!

@Ali-Waseer - I also had a problem with the nav - when I clicked on Home nothing was happening. If you go into the header.php file that you would have created above, you'll see that the tag for the Home section in

goes nowhere (href="#"). Change the # to the http:// address of your homepage and it should work.

Something that was probably missed:

In our new nav menu at this point we want the home to not point to just "#", but rather to the following:

href="<?php echo home_url(); ?>"

[david-r-giron]

Last comment got the php suppressed. I meant to say that the home button could point to echo home_url();

@melindakh , I think @Ali-Waseer mean was the design, because mine too, the CSS doesn't work

I had the same problem with the CSS in the nav, but I solved it just hard reloading the page: in Chrome (Windows): CTRL + refresh button in the browser.

And regarding the missing link to the home-page in header.php <?php echo home_url(); ?> is a better choice. :-)

href="<?php echo home_url(); ?>"
