Lab Introduction
Lab: Customizing the “Read More” Link in Beans
Video Runtime: 17:36
In this episode, you and I will do the following together:
- We’ll talk about the intent of this lab and what you should get out of it.
- I’ll show you the different end results of the customizations you’ll do.
- Step-by-step, you and I will walk through setting up your machine for this lab.
- We’ll talk about how you should do the lab. Spoiler alert: do it with me.
Make sure you’ve already got your local machine setup for development. You can check either of these labs to make sure you have Composer and Git on your machine:
For the setup, here are links to what you and I are setting up in this episode:
- Add 2 dummy posts. I use this lipsum website to get some dummy text.
- Setup the local website on your machine. I use Local by Flywheel, which is FREE. In this episode, I walk you through it’s setup.
- Download or clone Beans – make sure you name the Beans folder as “tm-beans”.
- Download Bean’s basic child starter theme
- Kint via the Kint PHP Debugger plugin or using UpDevTools.
You will grow in this profession when you incrementally and systematically stretch yourself....bit-by-bit.
