Wordpress

Overview

WordPress powers a large share of the web as a PHP CMS: themes for presentation, plugins for behavior, and the block editor (Gutenberg) for rich content. It ranges from blogs to WooCommerce stores and membership sites, with a vast ecosystem of hosting (WP Engine, Kinsta) and commercial themes.

Key concepts

• Core, themes, plugins — Separation of platform, design, and features.
• Hooks — actions and filters for extensibility.
• REST API — Headless or hybrid architectures.
• Security — Updates, capability checks, sanitization/escaping in custom code.
• Performance — Caching, image optimization, CDN, database hygiene.

Content publish flow

Sample: minimal plugin header

<?php
/**
 * Plugin Name: Example Health Endpoint
 * Description: Registers a tiny JSON route (illustrative).
 * Version: 0.1.0
 */
