How to Use: Simply drag and drop this MD file into your AI Assistant and ask it, “I want to build my own custom WordPress theme, can you ask me all the required questions?” After it asks you all your questions, it should begin generating a WordPress Theme for you. It should generate a ZIP file for you that contains your new theme. You can upload the ZIP file to your Appearance > Themes > Add New Theme (button at the top). Then upload your new theme and activate it. If there are errors, copy/paste them into your AI Assistant until they are all fixed. Ask you AI assistant how to create new pages and anything else, let it guide you.

What is an MD File?: The MD file is a reusable instruction sheet for building a custom WordPress theme with an AI coding assistant or a developer.

For beginners, it works like a guided questionnaire and checklist. It asks about the website’s preferred visual style, colors, fonts, pages, layouts, header, menus, footer, logo, images, and required features. It also explains how to upload images to the WordPress Media Library and assign the Primary Menu to the website’s header.

For intermediate users, it provides a detailed technical specification covering the theme’s file structure, WordPress templates, standard menu registration, responsive navigation, accessibility, theme.json, coding standards, security, and performance. It also explains versioning, Git, release ZIP files, cache busting, and how a new theme version can replace the previous version without losing website content or settings.

After completing the highlighted USER INPUT REQUIRED sections, the file can be given to an AI coding assistant or developer as a complete project blueprint. You can ask your AI Assistant to ask you the required questions.
