Child Themes and the Template Hierarchy

Leave Session Feedback

Learning how to create and effectively use child themes was the gateway to development for me. I believe it is a crucial first step for those looking to build fully customized websites with WordPress. Child themes are practical in nearly every situation, whether you are a website tinkerer or full time web developer.

In this session, we will learn how to create child themes and when they should be used. But wait, there’s more. As a session bonus, we will also go over the template hierarchy and how WordPress magically works behind the scenes when choosing a page template.
