WordPress has a &#8220;rewrite&#8221; system that is powerful but is hard to learn and even when learned there are many URL formats WordPress will simply refuse to allow you to implement.<\/p>\n<p>But it doesn&#8217;t have to be that way. The talk will show you a technique to allow you to design your site&#8217;s URLs to work exactly like you want them to work. And it does it using just one hook in WordPress and with a few edge case exceptions you can easily manage, WordPress behaves exactly as if WordPress rewrote the URL for you.<\/p>\n<p>FOR: WordPress Plugin Developers who build sites or<br \/>\nplugins for clients or your company and who are<br \/>\nCOMFORTABLE with PHP!<\/p>\n<p>PRE-REQUISITES:<br \/>\n&#8211; Experience with building sites in WordPress and developing with PHP<\/p>\n<p>Track\u2014Geek Developer<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/2014.atlanta.wordcamp.org\/schedule\/\">Saturday\u20142:00 <em>Subject to change<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div id=\"wcorg-session-502743\" class=\"wcorg-session\" >\n\t\t\t\t<h2>\n\t\t\t\t\tAnatomy of a WordPress CSS File\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wcorg-session-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"wcpt-session-meta\">Presented by <a href=\"https:\/\/atlanta.wordcamp.org\/2014\/speakers\/#wcorg-speaker-charly-mccracken\">Charly McCracken<\/a> in Designer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>WordPress is an extremely powerful content management system, but there will always be instances where customizing your stylesheet to meet the needs and\/or requirements of the designer, developer or client will make your blog or website more appealing.
