Objective
Create a hosted wordpress site on Hostinger with a custom template to identify the file structure and configuration settings to change the background colours for the RCC website.
Key Configuration Files
Creating your own custom theme requires at least two templates. The index.php file displays content, while style.css manages the visual theme elements, like fonts.
- header.php – contains HTML displayed on top of your WordPress website.
- footer.php – stores HTML that goes at the bottom of your website.
- sidebar.php – generates sidebar elements.
- functions.php – adds functionality to the theme, like WordPress widgets.
- single.php – displays a single post, including custom types.
- page.php – shows static content of a single page.
