About these Timber sections
If you’ve stumbled upon this page after searching for it on the internet, this might not be the thing you were looking for. Timber is a superset of Twig templating engine for WordPress and designed to make theme development easier. However, the examples and use cases that you will find here are NOT for theme development, but more for easier ‘snippet’ development and usage with either shortcodes or within page builders. If that’s what you came for, continue.

Where using regular PHP can be daunting, typically generates WSOD (white screen of death) when an error occurs and sometimes takes multiple function calls to output something basic, using Timber is intuitive, consistent and accessible.
