January 29, 201115 yr Hi everyone. I recently bought a domain and after sorting out hosting I installed WordPress and bought a theme called "This is Bold", with a view to customising it to the hilt. I now find that although I can edit the css files, the structure of every tyoe of page available is determined by .php, of which I have no knowledge. Has anyone done this kind of thing before, any WordPress theme hackers out there?

January 29, 201115 yr A wordpress theme is easier to hack than it looks at first glance. Take a look at the wordpress codex; you don't need a massive amount of php knowledge, but some knowledge helps a lot. http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page The main files you need to get to grips with in your theme are: index.php header.php footer.php sidebar.php These control the basic layout. For more in-depth hacking, learn about: page.php single.php category.php search.php There's loads of experienced wp devs and hackers on here, so just shout if you get stuck.
