5.2 Theme Defaults and the "Customizer"

There are a couple of little required settings hidden away in the PHP files of your theme that might slip by you if you don’t know where to look. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to make sure the correct defaults are set for your theme so that image handling, plugin integration and use of the Theme Customizer all go according to plan.

Hi there. I'm a designer & coder who works in the areas of web design / development, game development and digital art. In the web space I'm a front end all rounder but I have a particular specialization in theme creation, no matter the platform. I also love finding the latest most efficient, user focused design and dev techniques of the day. In game development I'm addicted to playing with every different engine, toolset and framework I can find. In digital art I love everything from painting to vector work to pixel art to 3D modelling. In short, if it's creative and you can make it digitally, I love it. If you need to contact me, please @ me via Twitter @kezzbracey
