WordPress is a content management system (CMS) that enables you to create a website or blog from scratch, or to improve an existing website. It is free and open source software released under the GPL.
You can use WordPress to create any type of website, from a simple blog to a complex e-commerce store.
In this tutorial, we will create a simple website using the WordPress #04 theme. We will display posts from a specific category, and we will add a quick programming beginner tutorial.
First, we need to install WordPress. For instructions, see the WordPress documentation.
Once WordPress is installed, we need to create a new website. For instructions, see the WordPress documentation.
We will use the #04 theme, which is a basic, responsive theme.
To activate the theme, we need to go to the Appearance > Themes screen in the WordPress admin area, and click the Activate button.
The theme will now be activated, and we can start to configure it.
We will start by configuring the home page. We want to display posts from a specific category, so we need to create a category.
For instructions, see the WordPress documentation.
We will call the category “tutorials”.
We can now create a page to display the posts from this category.
For instructions, see the WordPress documentation.
We will call the page “tutorials”.
We will now add some content to the page.
For instructions, see the WordPress documentation.
We will add the following text:
Welcome to our tutorials page. Here you will find a range of tutorials on various programming topics, written by our team of experts.
We will now add a list of posts from the “tutorials” category.
For instructions, see the WordPress documentation.
We will add the following code to the page:
‘tutorials’,
‘posts_per_page’ => 5
);
$the_query = new WP_Query($args);
if ($the_query->have_posts()) :
while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post
