A Better User Experience with the WordPress Customizer

In this workshop we will look at the WordPress Customizer, how it varies from the settings API and then go in-depth with a real-world example by creating custom theme options in the Customizer. We’ll iterate over our code throughout the day and end up with a final production ready example. Bring your laptops and code editors as this is a very hands on workshop.

Agenda (tentative):

Intro and Setup (90 mins)

Initial Customizer implementation with full page reload (45 mins)

Using postMessage in the Customizer for instant preview (45 mins)

Using selective refresh in the Customizer (45 mins)

Using setting validation in the Customizer (45 mins)
