Part 1: Presentation
Just like you should never modify core WordPress files, you shouldn't edit theme files. Damien Carbery will show you how easy it is to create a child theme, how to use the template hierarchy to your advantage and how to be smug when a theme update comes along.

In this meetup, you’ll learn:

  • When you see how easy it is, you will no longer be afraid to create a child theme.
  • You will see how the template hierarchy can help you enhance a parent theme.
  • You will see examples of bad parents and how to fix them.
  • You will see a few examples of simple but powerful examples of the WordPress API.

About the speaker:
I've been programming since before I had a computer. I started using WordPress in 2017 to blog and now I read its source code every day. I love seeing do_action() and apply_filters() calls.

I am a stay at home father and freelance WordPress developer. I run, cycle and bake. And I spend too much time browsing WordPress and WooCommerce groups looking for questions to answer.

Part 2: Panel Q&A
After the presentation, a panel will follow with:

They will answer any questions you might have about your WordPress site.
