Learn the essentials of WordPress from a FileMaker developer’s perspective, exploring its core concepts, user roles, and the recent revolution of Gutenberg Blocks.

WordPress powers over 40% of the web, but many FileMaker developers have only brushed past it. In this session, we’ll take a guided tour of WordPress from the ground up. Learn its history, how it’s built, and how the Gutenberg Block Editor has reshaped content creation. We’ll explore the Dashboard, Settings, Users, Themes, Menus, and the difference between Pages and Posts, with live demos using Local by Flywheel. You’ll also see how plug-ins extend WordPress into everything from security to integrations — setting the stage for the CWP Snippets WordPress plugin session that powers all of [Full Access].
