    Great. However there is a bug in the Other posts by section. If you remember you created a post-format called aside. The function of that was to not write a title and if an aside-format post is one of the 3 just the list-bullet show. Yea I know it's not that hard to fix with coding-logic. But I just wanted to tell you.

    If anyone wants to create a content-single.php file, you can start by copying everything in content.php and pasting it in the new content-single.php file. You will additionally need to call the content-single.php template from single.php. This can be done by changing the get_template_part('content', get_post_format()) statement in the single.php file to get_template_part('content', 'single'). At this point you can follow the video and start adding the 'author' code to the content-single.php file just as it is shown in the video.

    Wow, I just can't grasp how you can know all this stuff, not only remembering all the syntax, but how to implement it. But Im really enjoying the series… wish I had of started with php years ago, instead of persevering with visual studio and asp, this is just so much better and probably easier to understand. Thanks again.

    I'm wondering, is there anywhere online that has a complete list of all the php tags that can be used? Some sort of reference guide as no way can I ever remember things like "get_the_author_meta ('nickname')" and the 10001 other snippets that you have used.

    These tutorials certainly taught me a lot, but I'm still not really able to convert a client's website into WordPress, as he uses a lot of Javascript…

    Hi Brad, I made it to this tutorial, and now I have another question 🙂 I cannot seem to understand where you create your content-single.php file? As far as I can see it is not the same as the content.php or the single.php. I would love it if you could clear this up? I see I'm not the only one struggling with this question. Thanks again for the awesome videos! 🙂

    Why do not just use a p tag instead of wpautop function?

    <p> <?php echo get_the_author_meta('description') ?> </p>

    Hello! I just discovered your channel and I have to say, you are the best. I'm so exciting about learning wordpress + php (i just learned HTML + CSS) and you are the only one who know how to explain to a beginner in this subject. When the morning starts, I'm going to play your videos and starting my first wordpress theme. Thank you so much!

  23. Jesse Shack Avatar

    Brad you are seriously underappreciated. I've been following your WordPress series since the very start and they are by far the best videos about WordPress on YouTube. You've got a gift for teaching and it is amazing you're back on YouTube making these tutorials.

    Hi, I need a little help with the child menus. I have been looking through the code you give at the end of each lesson and the ones I have checked afterthe lesson on child menu's don't seem to have any code relating to the display of child menus. Did you take it out at some point and I haven't noticed.

    Thanks 🙂

    Really great learning experience, because everything you type actually makes sense for the viewer as you type it!
    This is nice to not have to rely on a third-party "Author plugin"! Plus, we can customize the look and feel of the Author section exactly the way we want.
    Maybe the next step would be to embed this functionnality in our own plugin (including the conditional display), so that we can activate and deactivate this feature with the click of a button, depending on the needs of the client?
