In this chapter, we discussed some of the advanced techniques in WordPress themes. Developers who don't have any exposure to advanced application development with WordPress might find it a bit difficult to understand these techniques. Therefore, I suggest that you try out the following tasks to get familiar with the advanced theme creation techniques:

  • Automate the process of frontend menu item creation. The admin should be able to add menu items to multiple navigation menus in a single event or the complete menu should be generated based on permission levels.

  • Complete the developer following process using AJAX and the necessary WordPress actions.

  • Create an extendable layout for the developer portfolio page to contain personal information, projects, services, books, and articles. Make sure that you optimize the flexibility of the layout.
