@onishiweb

@onishiweb Shameless Plug

@onishiweb

@onishiweb WTF WordPress?

@onishiweb Templates...

@onishiweb Templates are built procedurally <?php get_header(); ?>  <?php get_sidebar(); ?> <?php get_footer(); ?>

@onishiweb No separation of logic from the view

@onishiweb

@onishiweb Template Tags...

@onishiweb Content Tags are alright 
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>  <h1><?php echo get_the_title(); ?></h1>

@onishiweb If sometimes a little confusing  <?php the_content(); ?>  <?php echo get_the_content(); ?>

@onishiweb A bit more confusing...  <?php the_post(); ?>

@onishiweb A bit more confusing... <?php // The Loop if(
have_posts() ): while( have_posts() ): the_post(); /* Do stuff */ endwhile; endif; ?>

@onishiweb And even more confusing!  <?php get_search_form(); ?>

@onishiweb Template Tags But...

@onishiweb IDs..!

@onishiweb IDs EVERYWHERE! 
<body class="home page page-id-7 page- template-default page">  <li id="menu-item-36" class="menu-item-pink menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item- object-custom menu-item-36">

@onishiweb WordPress Hooks to the rescue add_filter('body_class', ... ); add_filter('post_class',
... );

@onishiweb Add better classes function dig_add_useful_classes($classes) { global $post; if(
! is_tag() ) { $classes[] = dig_get_post_type_class(); } if( is_page() ) { global $post; $classes[] = 'page-' . $post->post_name; } return $classes; } https://gist.github.com/onishiweb/9151982

@onishiweb Add better classes function dig_get_post_type_class( $type = false )
{ if( ! $type ) { $type = dig_current_post_type(); } $class = str_replace('dig_', '', $type); $class = str_replace('_', '-', $class); return $class; } https://gist.github.com/onishiweb/9151992

@onishiweb Add better classes function dig_current_post_type() { global $post; if(
! is_tag() ) { $type_name = get_post_type(); if( ! $type_name ) { $taxonomy = get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ); $type_name = substr_replace($taxonomy, '', -9); } return $type_name; } } https://gist.github.com/onishiweb/9152009

@onishiweb Better classes = Happy Adam!  <body class="archive post-type-archive post-type-archive-dig_product product">  <body class="archive tax- dig_product_filter_2 term-detergent term-114 product">

@onishiweb Plugins...

@onishiweb Biggest lesson learnt from this current project: WordPress plugins
are largely evil, and should not be relied on for core functionality - Alex Jegtnes (@jegtnes)
