About Course

Unlock the full potential of your website with our course on Learn WordPress coding. You’ll learn to build WordPress websites from the ground up, gaining the skills needed to customize themes, plugins, and functionality according to your specific needs.

In this course you learn how to develop WordPress themes and plugins by doing coding in PHP, HTML, and CSS.

There’s a lot of overlap between theme and plugin development in WordPress. Both themes and plugins rely on core functions and APIs, especially the Options API. In this session, you’ll learn about these common functions and development concepts, and how WordPress theme and plugin files are organized.

If you’re curious about WordPress development, you probably opened the files of a theme or plugin before you took this course, or perhaps you started reading the WordPress core code itself. You probably saw a lot of functions that confused you, like () and do_action(). This doesn’t look like any PHP you’ve seen before. What is all this stuff?
