Let's code! Creating Custom Templates and Template Parts.

WordPress 6.1 will include ways to create custom templates and template parts for your block theme from the Site Editor. These custom templates and template parts are useful when you need to display specific posts or pages using templates that don't form part of the template hierarchy.

In this session, we'll look at both how you can register and create custom templates and template parts from the editor, as well as how to register them in your theme.json file when distributing your new block theme.

If you want to code along with me, you will need the following:

1. Access to a local WordPress install.

Popular options for local installs are:

• XAMPP
• MAMP
• WampServer
• DesktopServer
• LocalWP
• DevKinsta

2. A text editor to edit WordPress files:

• Visual Studio Code
• Sublime Text
• Notepad++
• Atom

3. The latest version of the Gutenberg plugin installed and active

This session is being held at an EU/Africa/US Eastern friendly time. If you cannot get to the live session, keep an eye out for the recording we’ll be publishing on wordpress.tv and learn.wordpress.org after the session is completed :-)

See you soon!
