    Technically speaking – what is the difference between a template and a theme?

    I know how to install new themes using the automatic install features of WP, but how do I add new templates?

    Thanks,

    wm

    The “theme” is the entire collection of everything. This includes templates, images, scripts, functions and anything else that the theme designer/developer wants to put in there.

    A “template” is a single file that controlls the layout of whatever section or page it’s assigned to. As an example, header.php is a templage file for the header area. You can also create new templates by using these instructions.
