How To Create My Own Theme in WordPress Part - I

Before we Start we have to understand WordPress Folder Structure. The WordPress root folder contain "wp-admin", "wp-content", "wp-includes".

The Theme is Located into "wp-content" -> "themes" folder.

In this folder create a folder with your theme name.

In this example we create folder "mytheme"

create a blank stylesheet in new theme folder and add below content


/*  
Theme Name: <place your theme name>
Theme URI: <write website url>
Description: A Simple WordPress Template.
Author: Pulkit Jalani
Author URI: http://pulkitphpworld.blogspot.in/
Version: 1.0
Tags: <Comma-separated tags that describe your theme>.
