I am glad that I purchased this course. Rob is very thorough. I am confident in HTML and CSS already and familiar with PHP. Even though he starts with the fundamentals, it doesn’t feel as though the class is going slow. I am enjoying the amount of detail he gives. He is engaging enough where I am not bored following along. The key is to pause during the lectures to do the activities so that you stay engaged.

cloud9, the IDE used for the entire course is not available anymore, signups are closed for cloud9, shouldn’t this course be removed from Udemy? this is an outdated, probably impossible to follow course since it is based on an IDE that is no longer available.

Really enjoying this course. The style is colloquial yet informative, friendly and engaging

this was very good course to for me since i been away from WP development I wouldn’t recommend for an absolute beginner meaning somebody with no programming experience but other than that really good course

I learnt all I need is to read the documentation available for free online. The instructor could improve by 1) not diminishing his knowledge using expressions such as I will kind of show you or by anything similar to just go and read I learnt it just here by reading this might work, eventually this should work …. the instructor must make the students feel like they are learning from someone knowledgeable, and not just someone who read documentation and connected the dots. 2) do not teach something, and then immediately afterwards say that is not the correct way of doing it. First teach the correct way and, if necessary, add what not to do as a caution (not as the first thing you teach without even a warning). 3) organise the content a video shows you do something, then you have another video that explains what was done previously, and then you have another video to review what has been done. Focus and explain what you are doing (not what you are kind of doing) and repeat only what needs to be repeated mention what video you can go back to to refresh memory. Which means the contents being studied are well organised and easy to find in one single video per subtopic. 4) I did misunderstand the course, because I did not guess that writing a theme from scratch meant simply copying from templates and bootstrap. For me, scratch means me doing it all from nothing. Of course you need to study templates, but I expected to learn the mechanics of what I was copying (which seldom happened).

I wonder why a lot of tutorials i bought on coding wordpress are very sloppy at creating a work environment9coding dojo expirience) with their mamps,wamps etc etc. The worst is one written by a guy at eduonix. I hope to get back and finish that course someday

Outdated, Needs to be adjusted from the Amazon acquisition of C9

For an experienced Front end developer, who has little to no WordPress or PHP experience, this is quite a good course to learn how to create a custom theme for WordPress from start to finish. Thanks for the course!
Martin Mihailovski –
Excellent course! It’s perfect course if someone want to get basic knowledge of WP Theme Development.

This is one of the best video courses I’ve seen. Everything is explained in such a simple way that even those who don’t have any experience with PHP, WordPress, HTML, CSS or JS can create their own WordPress custom theme. Fully recommended, worth its price.

This is fine for me because I have had a lot of exposure to web development. However, you really should not be selling it with the ancient information about Cloud9 as a development environment. Because Cloud 9 has been taken over by AWS, this should be updated. Lots of people are going to be frustrated and confused because they are not going to know what to use as an alternative to Cloud 9. You should not be selling this without updating this information. Furthermore, lots of users have posted questions about this, but they have gone unanswered. Shame.
Fredrik Belstad –
Because the C9 section is outdated and I had to found out another solution to continue the Course.

This was a very good course! I found out the answers to many of my questions, and how it all fits together. I have a much better handle on themes now! One thing that I would appreciate is a zipped file of the completed site to refer back to.

This instructor uses an outdated platform. DO NOT BUY.
Brianna Flores –
Out of date, looked through other users Q&A’s and no response from creators have been made about updating course. Not cool.

Love the course but would have been interested in making sub menus

This is a fairly good course for learning the basics of WordPress Theme development, but the information is outdated in some of the examples. WordPress has updated its page editor since 2016, and the information on shortcodes was not at all helpful (it certainly didn’t seem to make things any easier for a client when by the instructor’s own admission the implementation is a little wonky). Overall, it did help me to understand concepts that I found overwhelming when I tried to go through the WordPress Theme Developer Handbook on my own. One note: Cloud Nine is no longer in operation as presented. It has been apparently acquired by AWS. I used Xammp and VS Code as my development environment and editor instead. It wasn’t difficult to adapt my environment to what was presented.

Yes, it was a good match for me… I know little bits about php, html, drupal and was stuck with wordpress trying to affect change on the look of the site
