    Congratulations on

  • 0:05

    working your way through the WordPress Template Hierarchy course.

  • 0:10

    At this point, you should have a thorough understanding of

  • 0:13

    what each template in the hierarchy does, and have ideas about how to

  • 0:17

    go about building sites from scratch, as well as customizing other people's themes.

  • 0:23

    This course is meant as a reference that you can come back to again and

  • 0:27

    again to brush up on.

  • 0:29

    Since, in real world practice,

  • 0:32

    most sites do not require the customization of all templates.

  • 0:37

    You certainly should not feel like you have to memorize what each template does.

  • 0:42

    This will come with time and during the process,

  • 0:45

    you'll likely want to keep one of the codex pages open in another tab.

  • 0:49

    It deals with the template hierarchy, and its different pages and functions.

  • 0:55

    Since this course is a reference course, you'll also want to check out our courses

  • 0:59

    that deal more with how to build themes, since they cover best practices and

  • 1:05

    how these different templates fit together when building out full sites.

  • 1:10

    So, let's end with the summary quiz that's will review a lot of

  • 1:14

    the important stuff that we've covered so far.
