主题中的前端\\后端交互

Question

I'm trying to migrate a simple html theme in Wordpress.

While moving the theme itself wasn't difficult at all, i am now at the point where i have my theme working in Wordpress but, since all the content is simple html, there is no possibility of changing\\customizing it from the backend.

Does anyone among you know where i could find a detailed in-depth guide about the subject? The wordpress codex seems a bit lackluster on the matter ( take http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development#Theme_Options as an example).

It doesn't necessarily have to be a free resource, i could fork out some money if you think the guide\\book\\whatever it's worth it :p

Answer 1

If you need a page with theme options I recommend taking a look here: http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/using-the-settings-api-part-1-create-a-theme-options-page/

It's a good tutorial, but maybe a bit too much for beginners

Answer 2

Rather than the Settings API lookup I would suggest you to look for Redux Options for Admin Panel

This I suggested because, a new theme developer can integrate all he needs in his/her CMS in an unified Admin Options panel with this. Even seasoned developers use this NHP Options (later adopted into Redux Options). These Admin Panel addon is made with the support of Wordpress Settings API , so lots of headaches gone!

You might want to get this plugin for you are a beginner. http://codecanyon.net/item/ether-content-builder-wordpress-plugin/1690784 With this Ether Builder you can create really rich content within your posts. Its a commercial plugin and is suitable for non-coders who are at beginner stage but in a hurry to size up his WP site fast. But for a developer I'd suggest thorough learning of the WP codex and tutorials present at the www.nettuts.com and other great sites around the interweb.

If I understand you well you currently have a HTML website and would like to convert this to a working WordPress theme, correct?
