Description

Back in the day, when you wanted to launch a new website, you either had to learn web programming yourself or hire a professional who would take care of the whole process for you. Nowadays, with WordPress, anyone can build an optimized site with the least amount of effort possible and then make it available to the world in no time. Here, in the seventh edition of the book, we are going to show you how to build great looking and functional websites using WordPress. The new version of WordPress – 5.0 – comes with a few important changes, and we tell you all about how to use them effectively. From crafting content pages using the block editor, and customizing the design of your site, through to making sure it's secure, we go through it all. The book starts by introducing WordPress and teaching you how to set it up. You are then shown how to create a blog site, start writing content, and even use plugins and themes to customize the design of the site and add some unique elements to set it apart. If you want to get more in-depth, we also show you how to get started creating your own themes and plugins. Finally, we teach you how to use WordPress for building non-blog websites. By the end of the book, you will be sufficiently skilled to design high-quality websites and will be fully familiar with the ins and outs of WordPress.

Who is this book for?

The ideal target audience for this book would be PHP developers who have some basic knowledge of working with WordPress and who want to get a comprehensive practical understanding of working with WordPress and create production-ready websites with it.

I bought this based on a recommendation from another website that suggested that it covered WordPress in more depth than a lot of other books.However, on receiving it, I found that it really doesn’t cover any advanced WordPress topics in any depth, or at all.If you’re looking for a basic “how to build simple WordPress sites” book, this would certainly be a good option - hence the 4 stars - but if you want to dig any deeper or do proper theme/plug-in development then it really doesn’t cut the mustard. Where it does cover such topics later in the book, the treatment is still pretty superficial and only gives a fairly brief overview.With so many basic WordPress books now out there, it’s getting hard to find any that cover development within the Wordpress platform itself rather than just “how to build a WordPress site” type texts. This book is really just another one of those - albeit a good one - not for serious, in-depth development.
