Turning the Default Wordpress Theme into Something Wonderful: Structure

by VQ

Wp-Theme Structure: Last, but not least

404.php:
This is what displays when someone navigates to a URI that doesn’t exist. By default it just displays your normal layout with “Error 404 - Not Found” in the main text area.

functions.php:
Functions.php is chock full of useful stuff. It basically contains several php functions that you can modify to do some fun stuff. Eventually we’ll be doing some of those fun things

I hope this was informative. Stay tuned for the next tutorial, where we’ll be cleaning up the default theme and starting to add some personal flair.

    No offense, but what does this tutorial offer that isn’t already on the WP site?

    There are tips like improving the SEO (adding keywords, favicon link in header.php) as well as deleting unwanted files…

    This is the first in a series of tutorials on modifying the default WP template. You’re right though, all this stuff can be found on the WP site. I just wanted to have a simple reference for the tutorial as it continues.
