WordPress is not PHP

Thursday, April 21st 2005

There have many concerns and question about the template system used in WordPress. Mostly the concerns are with n00bs and the complications of PHP. “I want to change this and that, but don't know PHP”. I hear this a lot. But the thing is, you don't need to know PHP to change the Templates in WordPress.

The Template System

Lets' start with “the Loop” as we call it. Probably the most confusing part of the Template for a non-programmer. The Loop looks like this:

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

  Template Section 1: post content Template Tags go here

<?php endwhile; else: ?>

  Template Section2: no posts found stuff here.

<?php endif; ?>

It may look complicated, but it's actually quite simple. In Template Section 1, all the posts information will be displayed. Within that section we will put all the posts Template Tags, and our HTML to format them. In Template Section 2, we will display a message telling the user no posts were found, if we find none to meet their criteria.

Template Section 1: The Posts

We'll start with outputting the post tile. Simply add in the Template Tag <?php the_title() ?>. That will output the title of the post.

Now let's output the date of the post. Simply add the date's Template Tag <?php the_date() ?>. That outputs the date of the post.

We will also, of coarse, need the content of the actual post. Simply, again, add the Template Tag <?php the_content() ?>.

Now let's put it all together with some HTML:

<div class=”post”>
  <h2> <?php the_title() ?> </h2>
  <p> <?php the_date() ?> </p>

  <?php the_content() ?>
</div>

And there's our simple template. Now let's add some more.

First let's add a link to the post, permalink as it's called, on the title. We get the actual URL, something like http://mysite.com/archives/2004/09/post-title/, with the Template Tag <?php the_permalink() ?>. We will need to put that in our <a href=””> HTML tag.

We also want to add in links to each page of our post, next page, previous page, etc.. We simply call another Template Tag, <?php link_pages('<p>','</p>') ?>. Now here's another confusion people have. We've added in, what programmers would call, arguments to our Template Tag. That is, we've added in '<p>', '</p>' to the brackets of the Template Tag. In this case we are just saying, if there are pages to link, output the page links with a <p> at the start, and a </p> at the end. Hence, enclosing it all in HTML paragraph tags. Most Template Tags have different arguments you can pass to them, causing them to format their output differently.

Now let's add in our new tags.

<div class=”post”>
  <h2> <a href=”<?php the_permalink() ?>”> <?php the_title() ?> </a> </h2>
  <p> <?php the_date() ?> </p>

  <?php the_content() ?>

  <?php link_pages('<p>','</p>') ?>
</div>

Now we have a fully functional Posts section, Template Section 1. Let's move on to Template Section 2.

Template Section 2: No Posts Found

For our Template Section 2, the no post found section, all we need to do is put in a message to tell the user nothing was found, to meet their criteria. Whether it was a search or a mis-typed URL. So let's use the following simple HTML:

<p>Sorry, no posts could be found to match your criteria.</p>

Now let's put it all together.

Complete Template

Putting all we learned above together, we get a nice simple Loop Template.

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

  <div class=”post”>
   <h2> <a href=”<?php the_permalink() ?>”> <?php the_title() ?> </a> </h2>
   <p> <?php the_date() ?> </p>

   <?php the_content() ?>

   <?php link_pages('<p>','</p>') ?>
  </div>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>

  <p>Sorry, no posts could be found to match your criteria.</p>

<?php endif; ?>

As you can see, we have done no PHP coding, just some simple HTML with WordPress Template Tags added in.

Obviously this is not a complete template, as we have no header and footer containing all the <html><head><body> tags. But with some simple HTML and more Template Tags, and no PHP, we can easily add all that is needed for a complete HTML document. That's right, an HTML document, not a PHP script.

As we can see WordPress is not PHP. WordPress is powered by PHP, but uses a simple template system, easily modified by even the most novice of users. None of that complicated Perl code like MT has ... Yes, believe it or not, MT is also powered by a complicated programming language. The only difference is marketing. MT has been marketed as having simple templates with no programming skills needed. However, somehow, and I don't know why, WordPress has gotten a rap of being complicated and only for the hardcore programmers out there. But as we can see, using the Template Tags is extremely easy and requires no knowledge of PHP at all.

Changing the format and style of your Template is as easy as using a little HTML, CSS and Template Tags. Just like other Weblog systems out there.

However, as with any software, there is room for improvement.

Improving Templates

One of the problems with the WordPress Template System, in my opinion, is the default Template, or theme, itself. Specifically the sidebar, with all the is_*() functions. We shouldn't expect a novice WordPress user to understand what these functions mean. I would suggest removing all the if(is_*()) statements in place of a simple sidebar with just the essentials. Say, Search, Pages, Archives, Categories, Links, Meta information and take out all the complicated if statements and includes.

Another problem I see with the default Template is the CSS in the header. I think all CSS should be contained in the style sheets themselves. Again remove the if statements. When a user wants to modify the CSS it seems logical to have just the simple CSS in one place, to easily modify.

Another problem I see is with some of the Template Tags. Such as <?php bloginfo() ?>. Instead of having one function to display some necessary information, like blog name, description, url, etc., why not have specific tags for the highly used information. Like say, <?php blog_name() ?>, <?php blog_description() ?>, <?php blog_url() ?>, etc., to maintain consistency. For some of the less used information, charset, version, etc., the <?php bloginfo() ?> tag would be fine.

And some of the other advanced Template Tags in use in the default Templates, like <?php list_cats(0, '', 'name', 'asc', '', 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0,'','','','','') ?>, should be simplified to not contain all those arguments. Maybe use <?php wp_list_cats() ?> where all those settings would be set in the admin area.

It would also be nice to try to simplify the loop, although I can't see any way of doing that now, to use as little actual PHP, like if else statements, as possible. Also take out the else, for when no posts are found, and always use the 404 template file.

The point I'm trying making is to take the PHP out of the Templates, as much as possible, so users don't get confused and think they need PHP skills to modify the Templates.

Those are just my thoughts on the matter.

Update:

Stuff I write doesn't usually get this much attention so I thought I should clarify some things, as I usually just write what's on my mind and do little to no editing afterwards.

The intentions of this article was not insult anyones intelligence by making something that does take time to learn, seem so simple a monkey could do it ( I like Monkeys ). I was just trying to show that the templates can be easy if you think about it the right way and not get stuck on all the PHP. ( and please be nice to the monkey, he's very nice and doesn't usually bite )

Update 2: If you need any help with your templates, or would like to learn more about the monkey, I'd be glad to help out. Just drop me a line.

    I dunno... I think you're greatly underestimating how intimidating this stuff is.

    Those aren't "template tags", after all; they're function calls with pointy brackets around them, and thus bear only the most trivial resemblance to something more familiar, like HTML.

    Now, I'll grant you, if you've got a user who doesn't even grasp HTML, WP's templates may be no more complicated that anything else. But is such a user going to monkeying with her templates in the first place?

    Roger, you're right, technically there are function calls. But technically a stop sign is a piece of sheet metal with paint on it, yet it's a stop sign. In this case those function calls are Template Tags.

    If we look at any template system, technically all the template tags are function calls. They just get replaced with the content using some regex. So whether we're using {$the_title} or <?php the_title() ?>, they are both template tags. The fact that the later is actual PHP is simply superficial. It's a template tag that just looks different than others, but effectively is the same.

    I'll I'm saying is that let's stop thinking of it as PHP, and start thinking in terms of templates. It's just an HTML document with some WP tags in it. There is no PHP coding required. Thinking like that, and helping people out by using generic "template tag" terminology, instead of using programming terminology, will help reduce the amount intimidation.

    Remember that PHP was originally designed as a template system for use with HTML. Only later it advanced to a full blown programming language.

    What I like in WP is that you can start in a very simple way, only using some of the template tags, but if you really need it, you can use the full power of PHP to do some magic without learning another easy (but also proprietary) language.

    Matt,

    I think your dismissal of MT templates' perceived ease-of-use as pure "marketing" smoke and mirrors is incorrect. MT indeed has a full separate and well-documented template "language". An MT user could go his entire life, creating and customizing templates, without ever encountering Perl or even knowing Perl is under the hood.

    Yes, MT templates have a syntax of their own that may need to be picked up, but it's like HTML: angle brackets and attributes. (example: ) Not hard for HTML authors to see the similarity between this and html tags. And that's why it's easier to learn.

    As mentioned earlier, the WordPress template tags are function calls. For a novice user who's never programmed before, the syntax is completely alien. Open and close parens, commas between arguments, what an 'argument' even is, if statements.

    I suppose I am one of the n00bs, you speak of. Learned html then CSS several years ago. I know enough to have all my pages validate properly, yet have no ability explain what part of the language is what (ex: selector, element, property etc.).. I just know how to make it work. ..So I decide to use WP.. Oi vey, find it very confusing to change the template. Those "template tags" are making my head swim! I appreciate your suggetion to think of them as HTMl with WP Temp Tags... After many searchs to attempt to understand how to change my layouts, this has been the most benifitial. Still struggling to understand what I have to do to make it all work, but your words have at least given me the confidence that I might yet still be able to "get it".

    My biggest problem with Wordpress when I installed it was the insane range of places from which to get information about doing the most simple things with the templates. I'll follow instructions and use a template system, regardless of syntax, but please please please don't make me check pages and pages of Codex, all named for people who know what they're looking for, a support forum, some old documentation, a plugin library, another plugin library, lots of individual homepages about plugins, articles like this... All just to work out how to get something that may or may not require a plugin but comes out of the box in MT. And none of the documents in these places consistently say which version of WP they refer to, so you can spend ages barking up the wrong tree. At least with MT, which I used to use, there's one page for how templates work. Full stop. As it happens, I know php and am committed to the idea of open source and a robust architecture, but the frustration of the documentation really made me think twice about it. And now the disclaimer: I like WP, I use WP, I gripe because I care.

    This is great, and I wholeheartedly support all your suggestions for simplifying the template system further. I'd add that given the amount of PHP in the default template, the 'classic' theme is nearly always a better model for people wanting to build their own templates; it may not be as full-featured, but that makes it a lot easier to reverse-engineer.

    I've supported several people trying to make sense of their templates and I have to disagree with you: WordPress "template tags" are PHP functions, plain and simple.

    The two biggest causes of frustration: 1. passing arguments to WP functions requires knowledge of PHP. Do you use single quotes? Double quotes? Include the parameter name? The average HTML/CSS coder isn't going to know this right off the bat. 2. too many WP functions output their own HTML tags, leaving users struggling to understand what the end result will look like.

    As a final note, you really shouldn't start off your article referring to new users as "n00bs" -- it's demeaning and deters your target audience.

    Jerome,

    1. You're right they are PHP functions, but they are used as template tags. It does take time to learn, but it's not PHP. Well, technically it is, but it's also the way the WP Template Tags work. So I would say it's not learning PHP, it's learning the WP Template syntax. That's why I say it's not PHP.
    2. I agree completely. They can cause problems in outputting their own HTML. But most info they output is semantically proper. Not all, but most.

    "n00bs" I don't see as demeaning. I know I'm certainly a n00b in many many things. But yes, some may find it demeaning, bad choice on my part. Thanks for the input.

    b, I don't. :D

    Thanks for the write-up. Now if you could explain how CSS fits in, using equally simple terms and clear color-coded examples, I'd be most appreciative! I've figured out how to move and place "chunks" of data on my site inside HTML (these template tags), and even how to write the arguments properly (whoo hoo I guess I did some PHP). But now I've got CSS div span class scattered around, that I don't know where to start, or even what program to open it with for making changes (Notepad? Firefox extension?).

    [...] Ormai è fatta, ho praticamente terminato la «sistemazione» del mio blog a questo indirizzo. La creazione di un aspetto grafico personalizzato ha riservato sorprese: WordPress, il motore che sta sotto a queste pagine, non è proprio immediatissimo da personalizzare dal punto di vista dei temi. Se ci si accontenta di un tema già fatto (ce ne sono parecchi ed anche molto molto belli) la cosa è banale, ma quando si vuole creare un aspetto proprio «da zero» ci si scontra con aspetti abbastanza criptici (almeno in un primo momento) come il loop (dei post e dei commenti), la miriade di file diversi in cui va spezzettato il template, e l’abbondante dose di codici «pseudo»-php da inserire. Inoltre, Codex, l’help online di WordPress, è un po’ caotico nel parlare della creazione di temi personali. È risultato di grande aiuto, invece, un post (linkato dallo stesso Codex) da Matt’s Googly Site, che in poche frasi riesce a fare chiarezza proprio là dove Codex fa confusione. All’autore va tutta la mia gratitudine, probabilmente senza di lui non avrei mai saputo da dove partire. [...]

After all that confusion it looks like it is actually not hard to do it. Just design the webpage in Dreamweaver as always and add the WP tags where they are needed.

    People are getting hung up on semantics. Anything can be construed as anything. Ok we get that it's actually PHP but it's PHP templates so we can just say templates. And like Matt said, it's easier for beginners to understand that way.

    I don't really like the lack of docs on the themes that come with WP. I can get around on my own but I dont really have that much time and would rather read a code map or something.

    Useful article though...well done.

I have been monkeying around with template tags, for me it is fun to do. On the codex you can find all of the template tags, you can do copy and paste and just change the variables and you are set, in a way it is easier than doing html.

    I ran across The Holy Grail of Layout over at http://www.alistapart.com/articles/holygrail and want to use it to create a WordPress theme. I can handle the CSS but I'm really frustrated by the lack of a foundation of template pages to begin the customization. I can see that starting with the Default theme or the Classic theme will eventually lead to what I want but my question is: Isn't there a set of foundation pages for developing a new theme? The Default theme is a double column within a single column and the Classic theme is the same. At many of the CSS sample sites, there are one column layouts, two column layouts, etc. Is there anything like that for WordPress? If so, where? Thanks, by the way, this was a marvelous article! (I have used PHP for some of my web sites so it does not scare me but your theme of it is NOT PHP was intriguing and you point was VERY well made.)

    Hi Matt, regarding your update 2 =)

    I was trying to override my default admin setting -> 2 posts displayed per page for the archive (by author) template. So I tried the getposts command. The loop I tried does not work, the postauthor=$curauth->ID is not working. Could you tell me what I did wrong please?

    ID'); foreach($posts as $post) : ?> " rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: "> , in

    I need some help with templates in Pages. I have been using WP as a CMS and would like particular pages and their children/child pages to use certain templates. The thing is that I'd like to find a way to set the templates at one go and not set them for each page. Is that possible? How? Thanks hahahah

    I don't understand. Wordpress is PHP and will be, and it's just great to have the templates in PHP compare to other CMS/Blogs around there. I aint catching this.

    ur wierd man! 0==(D)

    a n00bie wouldnt know what a loop meant. for all people wanting to mess around with theme n php, youve to have some idea about programming , say if u know C , its better. i struggled without C, once i knew, i couldnt easily figure out stuff,

    but u dont neccessarily have to know C, if you do then thats great.
