Example Twenty Ten child theme with Admin Panel
The second theme available from WP Weaver is called Twenty Ten Heads Up. It is a very stripped down version of Twenty Ten Weaver, and is intended only for tutorial purposes.
This tutorial theme features:
- Ability to tweak Twenty Ten Header stuff – menu bar, image height, etc.
- Theme control panel that is added to main WP Appearance menu.
- Shows how to build simple control panel and accept commands.
- Modifies Twenty Ten in two ways: adding CSS override to the output <HEAD> and adding a filter called by parent theme.
- Plenty of comments explaining each step.
- Does not override any theme pages such as header.php, footer.php, loop.php, or others. This tutorial is mostly about building a theme control panel. See all the great documentation for building child themes at wordpress.org.
I plan to add a written tutorial about this child theme, but for now, it can already serve as a good example for those of you looking to build a child theme from Twenty Ten, especially if you want to add a control panel.
Twenty Ten Heads Up is available for download here.
