WordCamp Sofia 2023 – together again after two-year pause

After a two-year hiatus caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the 11th WordCamp Sofia event took place on April 22, 2023. It is a gathering place for WordPress developers, programming experts, digital marketing professionals, and individuals who own WordPress-powered websites.

The preparation for the camp started months before April 22nd, with familiar faces from the Bulgarian WordPress community among the group of organizers – Atanas Lambеv (Dralart Studios), Ivan Popov (Vipe Studio), Niki Krastev (NT Websites), Stanko Metodiev, and many others.

Over the course of two days – April 22nd for presentations and networking, and April 23rd for the contributor day – the WordPress community in Bulgaria immersed itself in valuable information, informal conversations, experience sharing, and networking.

[my session] Anatomy of WordPress – How to Create Your Own Theme

As a speaker at WordCamp Sofia for the second time, I decided to make this lecture more technically oriented and provide a brief but foundational idea on how to create a custom theme for WordPress.

The topics I spoke about during the camp are themes that have been thoroughly explored and can be found here, on the {dev} blondie website:

• WP_Query: the heart of WordPress [complete guide]
• How to create a Custom Post Type [complete guide]

You can download the complete presentation as a PDF or PowerPoint file.
