Refactoring Theme Supports
Lab: Part 1 – Introduction to Modularity – Developer’s Genesis Starter Child Theme
Video Runtime: 08:01
Did you notice that the function add_theme_support() is being called over and over and over again in the setup? And did you notice that this function requires a key and then a value? I mentioned in the last episode that the final version of this starter theme will load all of the theme supports from a configuration file.
Calling this function repeatedly is redundant and unnecessary. Let’s refactor it to convert the theme to clean, quality coding standard.
In this episode, you will refactor the WordPress theme supports to move the parameters into a local configuration array. Then you’ll loop through the array to call add_theme_support(). These changes are the next step towards the configuration architecture of the final version of the Genesis starter theme.
If you listen carefully, you can hear the 1s and 0s flowing in your computer.
