Locating Where to Insert the Content in Your Theme
Lab: Let’s Build a Blog Intro Custom Plugin
Video Runtime: 07:34
Let’s figure out where we can hook into the theme to add the content from the editor. Each theme will be different. You will need to evaluate your theme in order to determine where you can hook into for rendering out the content.
In this episode, you will look at two themes.
First, you will dive into the Genesis framework and look at where the page title is being rendered for the Posts Page, i.e. found in genesis/lib/structure/archive.php
. You will see which event you need to register to in the plugin in order to add in the content.
Then you will look at the WordPress default theme TwentySixteen.
There’s a time to code and …. yup, that sums it up.
