TechTraction’s Friday Finds for 08-31-07: WordPress Cheat Sheets
Since I started building a few custom WordPress themes, I’ve been making frequent trips to the documentation section of the WordPress site. And even though I have bookmarked these pages for quick reference, I wish there was a condensed version of these page I could print and tape to my office wall. Well, thanks to a recent link round up post on DailyBlogTips, I found just what I was looking for: a cheat sheet round up post.
Where to find the cheat sheets
Over at Kahi’s WP Notes you can find a summary post of available WordPress cheat sheets. The list is fairly comprehensive and worth a look if you find yourself longing for printable cheat sheets for WordPress.
What links are included in the list
Most of the cheat sheets link to a preview image, which is often too small to read, and a downloadable PDF or text file. Some of the sheets also link back to the original blog post for the sheet.
I took a closer look at one of the WordPress cheat sheets
I took a look at the PDF for the WordPress Loop cheat sheet and was very pleased. The cheat sheet displays a “real” WordPress Loop code snippet with the key parts of the loop displayed in larger text than the rest. I found this approach much easier to understand than the code snippet included in the WordPress documentation for The Loop.
I haven’t looked at all of the cheat sheets yet, but if the others are anything similar to the PDF for the WordPress Loop cheat sheet, then this post is a real gold mine of information.

Thanks :-). By the way, the preview images I intended for quick comparison: “This is the same file I have downloaded before, isn’t it?” - while “names” aren’t here descriptive enough. But I’m not sure it serves to people this way in reality…
Hi Kahi, thanks for the additional information about the preview images. I agree, “names” are usually not enough to describe what a particular cheat sheet is.
Thanks for the comment.
