Seeking Guidance for Creating a Custom WordPress Theme from Scratch

  • Hello, I am new here, and this is my first post in the forum. I would like to know the proper way to create a WordPress theme from scratch that is compatible with the standards and recommendations suggested by WordPress, and that ensures the theme is safe and secure.

    Recently, I’ve been researching this and came across using the Underscores (_S) theme, and before that, I heard about FSE and the block system, which got me a bit confused and discouraged. But in the end, life is long, and we learn little by little.

    Without making this too long, I would appreciate your opinions and advice, as I am thinking about creating a theme from scratch for my website that aligns with WordPress standards and is customized. Over time, I plan to add plugins and fully customize it, God willing.

    Please help me if you can, even with just guidance. Thank you all!

  • Hi @user2095 ,

    _s is a great choice because it’s a lightweight starter theme that follows WordPress coding standards. You can customize it to fit your needs. Download it from Underscores, and start building your theme.

    FSE and the block system can be a bit confusing, but they’re the future of WordPress theming. Learn about block themes and how to create reusable blocks. You can start with the official documentation.

    You can easily customize it by adding your own styles, scripts, and templates as needed. Once you have your theme set up, you can start adding features and plugins as needed.

    Using Underscores themes save time – Instead of starting from scratch, you get a solid base to work from. Starting with a clear plan and resources will make your theme development journey enjoyable and rewarding.

    Best of luck, and feel free to ask more questions as you go along!
