Well I am not pro in any of the above language, but somewhat know the basics. I am a fast learner and willing to give it a shot.
The thing is, wordpress pretty much has biult in functions that are called, its more so getting around to these functions knowing which calls what. Knowing what wordpress is doing when and where.
For instance, I thought the stylesheet would have been called in the header.php file using the link rel, but based on what you are saying it was called using
wp_enqueue_style( ‘style’, get_stylesheet_uri() );
It may take some time to get the hang of it, but I will. I was not aware of the conditional comments, so that was new to me, but I get it now.
I will continue to go through the structure of diff themes and analyse the different structure and function usage.
Thanks a lot for your help wphigh, I am sure I will have more questions from time to time if I don’t find the answer on the support page.
