If you’ve spent any time at all working with WordPress themes you’ll have no doubt found yourself navigating the dark corridors of the WordPress Template Hierarchy.
It took some time for me to get my head around which file to create when I’m making custom templates and the WordPress Codex has been invaluable in terms of figuring out what to put where. The Codex’s diagram and my handy dandy little template code snippet that prints out which template I’m looking (below) at have been my ‘go to’ resources.
I came across a couple of alternatives today that I love!! Thought you’d like to check them out too…
First, here’s the original…

And here’s one made by Marktime Media which is beautifully clean and modern looking!! I’m gonna make it my new ‘go to’…
Oh… and here’s that little snippet that prints out which template you’re looking at just drop it into your functions.php file.
What do you think? What are your ‘go to’ template resources?
