by  • May 17, 2012

Customizing WordPress Child Theme In this tutorial we will create Custom Post Types and add variables and functionality to them. Also we will add some styling for more user-friendly display in the dashboard. Having set up our basic Child Theme structure we will now proceed with the customization.

You may be used to building WordPress based sites and therefore you may have some habits in as much as settings and configuration are concerned. Some basic WP Settings Here is what I do in the dashboard: 1. Trash and permanently delete the Hello World Post. 2. Delete the default Links. 3. Set Permalinks to: /%category%/%postname%/ 4. Under Settings General enter Blog Name and Tagline; for the purpose of this exercise I use  as a Title: WordPress TTP and as a Tagline: Tips, Themes and Plugins 5.

This seminar is about Social Media Marketing and Communication involving WordPress, namely the Semiomantics XO Framework and Facebook. During the next two days we will elaborate and implement strategies to automate publication and communication across platforms with a special focus on the mobile web.
