  Old  A question about coding for WP theme

What's the difference between coding "WP theme" and "non-WP theme"?

I'm not really sure what you mean, but you code in xHTML and you then skin it to WordPress (it's not obligatory, obviously)...

I mean when working on a project for client, is it necessary for a XHTML and CSS coder to understand the PHP codes that WP uses? And When we are doing XHTML and CSS, do we have to modify the PHP codes?

I thought that's PHP programer's duty.

Well, you're comparing two different things. At one point, you are talking about xHTML & CSS coders and later on about PHP coders. I'm still not sure what you are talking about.

Btw, WordPress Template Tags aren't PHP (though very similar, they're not).

WP is **** easy once you work with it a bit. At first glance, templates look confusing, but it's just XHTML + CSS with lines of PHP thrown in where you want things to go.

I don't really know PHP, but I can code Wordpress templates.

Yet there are retards around here who charge $100 for a 1 hour HTML->WP conversion, yet charge less than $100 for a 4 hour HTML/CSS job.

Should we use or modify id names and class names of some elements default by WP?

Use the names generated by WP by default. It puts lots of classes, nearly enough to do everything.
