Hey all. Haven’t built a custom wp site since 2021. I installed a local environment today and when checking out the files in 2023/templates/ I was shocked when I saw only .html files not .php files.
Panicking, thinking I was experiencing the Mandela Effect… I checked 2022, same thing. I was relieved when checking the 2021 theme and seeing the .php files I’ve come to know and love.
Case and point, where do I start/ what do I need to know / brush up on to catch up to modern WordPress stuff?
Thanks!!
They’re moving towards the new block style themes in an effort to modernize WordPress.
The docs now have areas for block theme linked to below:
