Theme Customizer Files

Next, you need to move the theme customizer files from the Genesis Sample Theme to your new developer’s theme. You’ll start by copying the files into your theme.

Then you’ll start refactoring by applying the PHP namespace and removing the prefixing. You’ll give the functions purposeful names so that each tells you specifically what it does, i.e. what the expected behavior is when you call the function. You’ll be reorganizing the helper functions into a helper file. Also, there are some functions embedded within a function, which makes the code less readable. Let’s refactor those and make them their own functions.

In this episode, you are applying the principles of clean, quality coding, PHP namespacing, and modular configuration.
