When I first started thinking about templating in WordPress, I thought about regarding two aspects:
- content specifically for members,
- content that could break down into a single post.
But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that it could (and arguably should) be explained over the course of a few posts.
So I’m going be breaking down the current state of WordPress templating and then practical ways we can take organize, say, our plugins so that we’re using standard PHP.
After that, in a future series, I’ll look at what it means to use other templating engines (both PHP and JavaScript in the work we do).
For starts, though, I want to take a look how we often see templates written within the context of both WordPress themes and plugins.
