Welcome to the PHP basics for WordPress course.

This is a beginners course designed for WordPress students who would like to become WordPress developers.

WordPress as a content management system was built with PHP and its most important files as well as those of plugins and themes are coded with the scripting language. As such if you aspire to be a WordPress developer then you must learn the basics of PHP which is exactly what this course provides.

In this course you will learn the following

  • How to write basic WordPress functions using PHP

  • How to work with conditional tags and statements

  • How to work with variables and arrays

  • How the WordPress loop works

In addition to the above, you will also learn about some of the most important files used by WordPress themes.

Please note that this course is NOT a complete course on PHP but a basic introductory course designed to provide you with just the basic knowledge necessary to start learning about WordPress development.

By the end of this course you would have learned the basics of PHP which would help you progress to learning about WordPress development.

Answered a lot of questions about making changes in WP files. Very well presented. Got right to the information. This will be a good reference to me as I learn more about WP development.

By Artur Mickiewicz on 7/30/2023

Great course, it really shows basics of wordpress development. I think it could have some more info, but it's awesome starter point with quite good pointers towards documentation, also shows of how to look at the code within the theme. I might be mistaken, but I don't think it presents the way to develop locally and than load on the server, which would be great thing to know. Also it probably would be more appropiate to show concepts of wordpress with charts or slides rather than hands, but it's ok:) Other than that - perfect.

Although this course is free, it is extremely superficial.

By Carlos idrobo on 1/19/2022

Me gustó mucho, es sencillo y bastante claro, todo lo necesario para comenzar.

bueno, aunque muy breve

By Amit Karanwal on 9/16/2021

Good Course for starting with a little more than basics of wordpress. Explaination is to the point.

By Shafen Badar on 8/28/2021

As an introductory and free course, the content is fine to start
