Interesting I clicked on this to tell me something magical about Wordpress because all I think of it is the opposite of magical....it is confusing, abstracted and clunky with "workarounds" everywhere that end up painting you into corners too often (IMO)
- krapp 14y agoI really, really, really wish the themes were simpler. And that it used templating instead of having the php and html all mixed together. Which is perfectly valid usage for php but still frustrating when you just want to deal with changing the html around.
- Archetyped 14y ago"True" templating would be very interesting in WordPress, and it's not impossible that this may happen (someday). Nonetheless, a good theme author would keep the intermingling of PHP in the HTML to a minimum.
- krapp 14y agoThere is, apparently a twig plugin. I couldn't actually get it to work though.
- Archetyped 14y agoThis is exactly what I wonder about for newer users to WordPress, as it started out with a very clear direction, but currently is very non-linear.
