Hey everyone! Welcome back to our channel I missed you a lot. And today I'm gonna walk you through
the process of creating a custom WordPress theme without writing a single line of code,
and that won't even take long Bear with me. If you want to learn more about making the most
out of your WordPress and growing your online presence hit that "subscribe" button below,
because we regularly post interviews reviews guides and q& a's. Basically,
any format you can think of. Okay, back to the topic of the day: creating custom WordPress themes
now with so many themes available out there you might be thinking why would I even need to create
a theme? I can just pick one, right? I guess you're right but you gotta admit, that sometimes
you just can't find that exact theme that has the exact features and style that your client needs,
or maybe you just need a more unique style and more control over the features and code.
There can be many reasons. Now it's time to start building a theme with 10Web builder.

Link in the description. We visit the AI builder homepage and click the signup button.
After you create your account select the option to create a brand new WordPress website.
Then choose your data center location and name your site.
The AI builder will then install a blank WordPress website. The second step is creating the initial
content for your theme, and here you can use the AI assistant to recreate landing pages
and the initial content from any website. Or you can use the designer-made templates or your own
theme and plugins If you do want to use the AI assistant go to AI builder, then recreate with AI.
Now paste the URL of the web page you want to recreate to add other pages, click add page
and paste the URL in the new field
click recreate and import to start the recreation.
You can then review the results of your recreation and edit your website using Elementor. And the
third and last step is creating footer and header templates. So we go to our WordPress dashboard
and click templates then add new in the pop-up screen that appears pick the type of template
you want to create from the drop-down menu give it a name and click "create template". You can
then use the 10Web builder based on Elementor to create a custom header or footer for your theme.
When you're done creating the header and the footer templates, you can add a condition that
will determine where on your site you would like to display that particular template.
Now once you're done building the theme you need to start creating theme features and the
first step in this process is to start building page templates Here's what you need to build.
An index page to display your blog posts. A single post template to display the content of a single
blog post. A search page template that will display search results. A single page template
to display individual pages and a 404 page that displays when content is not found on your site.
To create a page template go to your WordPress dashboard and click templates.
Select add new and then choose the template type from the drop-down menu. For example to
create a single post template choose "single". Give it a name and click "create template".
Then use the 10Web's site builder widgets to create a blog post template. For example, you can
add the post or page title widget, the featured image widget, and the post content widget.
When you're done customizing your template hit publish.
The process is similar for other templates. The second step is to create styles for your
custom WordPress theme. To do this we click on the hamburger menu in the template builder. From here
you can set default colors, default fonts, global settings, and other visual styles for your theme.
And finally, the third step is creating different content parts and reusable blocks.
It can be a newsletter opt-in form, an about section, a section for featured services...
you name it. And the process for creating content parts is the same as for creating page templates.
In your WordPress dash click "templates", go to "add new" and choose "section". And once
you've created and installed your theme it's also important to install all the basic plugins, such
as an SEO plugin, a performance plugin, a backup plugin, image optimization, and forms plugins.
Now make sure to make your theme reusable so you can utilize it in future projects as well. And
there are two ways to go about it you can either export individual pages templates as JSON files
and import them to another website. To do that go to "templates", "saved templates",
hover over the template you want to export and click "export template".
Or you can use a backup plugin to create and export the backup of your website and then
import that back up into a different website. And that's it, you guys! Now you know what it
