Developing a Wordpress theme and site

Note, I am assuming in all this you have access to at least /public_html on your webserver and a reasonable command of css and html

Started off with a clean site and fresh install of Wordpress (7.1)

First order of the day: Set up the Akismet spam filter.

Secondly set the preferences for security, permalinks etc. For the >Setting > Permalinks the following is best:

/%category%/%postname%/

or if your won’t have many topics,  simply:

/%postname%/

Nooo, no no no! Have this nasty – sloppy – habit of diving straight into the code. Noooo, bad. Very bad.  Need to do it properly.

  • What is the aim.
  • What’s needed, exactly
  • What’s the target audience
  • Factoring in future proofing
  • Prepared state transition diagrams
  • Systems analysis

Dear gods, the things I’ve forgot this past few years :(

Next add other preferred plug-ins such as : All in One SEO pack.

(Though when I have completely done developing the Ackadia Wordpress theme is will be an all in one package!)
