Gatsby & WordPress - 2.4. - Theme Development

Hey! Just so you know, this article is over 2 years old. Some of the information in it might be outdated, so take it with a grain of salt. I'm not saying it's not worth a read, but don't take everything in it as gospel. If you're curious about something, it never hurts to double-check with a more up-to-date source!

To follow along at home, you'll first need to download the Timber Starter theme after installing the timber plugin on your WordPress website - https://github.com/timber/starter-theme

The timber theme will allow us to create render templates in a bonus video at the end of the series, but aside from the .twig templates, the Timber starter theme has a very barebones structure for our PHP logic which I prefer over other starter themes.
