The web's most-used CMS — it powers ~43% of all sites. Write content in an admin dashboard; themes render it; plugins like WooCommerce bolt on a full store. PHP + MySQL under the hood.
This is the core WordPress loop: you write a post in wp-admin, hit Publish, and the theme renders it on the front end. Try it — fill the fields and publish.
WordPress's Loop pulls published posts newest-first and the active theme styles them. Anything you publish above appears here instantly.
Just another WordPress site
<?php
// The famous WordPress Loop (in your theme's index.php)
if ( have_posts() ) :
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<article>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div><?php the_content(); ?></div>
</article>
<?php endwhile;
endif;
?>WooCommerce is a plugin that adds products, a cart and checkout to any WordPress site. Add a few items to the cart.
WordPress is extensible through actions and filters. Plugins "hook" into events without touching core. Click a hook to fire it.
// A plugin registers a callback on a hook:
add_filter( 'the_content', function ( $content ) {
return $content . '<p>Thanks for reading! 🙌</p>';
} );
add_action( 'save_post', function ( $id ) {
error_log( "Post {$id} was saved" );
} );
