Do I need to know php to create a wordpress template?

Question

HTML

Do I need to know php to create my own template for wordpres? Or only the basics of layout are needed (as I know html and css)?

Answer 1

You need to know at least at the initial level.

Answer 2

Need, truth, mostly, a bit. The whole template consists of HTML and CSS, and only small inserts of code like <?php the_content(); ?>, the effect of which is clear from the name of the function.

Answer 3

You don't need to know anything to create a WordPress template.
To create a theme on WordPress php, it’s also the 128th thing, six months will be enough to be spent on creating a freak who is not capable of grazing on thematic forums and flooding them with stupid questions.
To create a simple, lively theme for WordPress, you need to know at least:

• PHP - at least at an intermediate level
  
• CSS - at least at the intermediate level
  
• HTML is good
  
• CodexWP
  

Answer 4

Need to know well! Otherwise, you will make a template with a bunch of security holes or slow loading.

Answer 5

Without knowledge of PHP, you won't go far... Using only the standard set of template functions, it would be difficult to call a site a site. To make sites on WordPress, you need to know the code at least.
