Yay… This is the final part for my Make your Own WordPress Theme tutorial. As I said in the first part , my tutorial only covers basic parts needed to make your own WordPress theme to work. So, there are some other advanced method that I didn’t mention here.
Beside than use single index.php file, you also can modified it to single.php and page.php file. What it does is, single.php will use to display your post in single display, while page.php is use to display your page.
Other files that you can create are
- archive.php
- search.php
- 404.php
You can get more info in WordPress website and WordPress codex .

Hi!
THank you so much for the tutorial! I will be using it for the making of my own design when I am moving my blog ower to a new domain later this year. I hope it will work and that I can avoid the mentioned syntax errors, could this be because of all the updates in WP since you made this? If that is the case it would be great if you updated this tutorial so it works with the new ones, really. Thanks so much for all your work with this!
