This project involved developing a custom WordPress portfolio theme from scratch, incorporating advanced coding techniques and tools to achieve a functional, scalable, and visually engaging website. By leveraging custom plugins, post types, and taxonomies, the theme supports seamless project organization and navigation. The design is built with Bootstrap and styled for responsiveness, ensuring an optimal experience across devices.

Custom Post Types and Taxonomies

Created custom post types and taxonomies using register_post_type and register_taxonomy to structure portfolio projects effectively. This setup allows for categorizing projects by type, industry, or technology, ensuring users can easily filter and explore content.

Enqueued Styles and Scripts with Bootstrap Integration

Integrated Bootstrap to achieve a modern, responsive design. Enqueued stylesheets and scripts using wp_enqueue_scripts to manage dependencies efficiently. Implemented wp-bootstrap-navwalker for the navigation menu to provide a dynamic and accessible site-wide navigation experience.

Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) for Flexible Content Management

Utilized the ACF plugin to create custom fields for project pages, allowing easy input of project details such as descriptions, technologies used, and featured images. This approach ensures a streamlined editing experience for managing portfolio content.

Enhanced Functionality with Custom Plugins

Developed custom plugins to extend the theme's functionality, including portfolio-specific features like project filtering, shortcode support, and taxonomy-based navigation. The plugins integrate seamlessly with the custom theme to provide a cohesive user experience.
