Become a WordPress Developer: Unlocking Power With Code

Brad Schiff moves from basic PHP and WordPress-specific functions to building a more structured website with custom content types. Events, programs and professor examples make relationships between content and templates concrete. It suits learners who already know routine WordPress publishing and want to change how a site behaves, while learning to keep repeated code and content responsibilities under control.

What you will learn

• Use PHP and WordPress functions in templates.
• Create custom post types and related site sections.
• Organize code to reduce unnecessary duplication.

Who this suits

Learners who can already create a WordPress blog post. Intermediate is an editorial estimate based on that prerequisite and the applied development scope. The listed videos total about forty-six hours.

Before you enroll

Use a local or disposable WordPress installation for exercises and keep backups before changing themes, plugins or code. Hosting, domains and premium plugins can cost extra. Compare the demonstrated WordPress version with your installation; interface changes do not make every older lesson obsolete, but code and security advice need current checks. Course completion does not guarantee traffic, clients or employment.

Udemy offers paid purchase or subscription access depending on the current course and region. Paid teaching courses provide completion certificates under Udemy’s policy. Check current access terms and any separate software or material costs before enrolling.

Put it into practice

Create a local events section with a custom post type and template. Identify repeated logic, move it into a reusable function and explain why that behavior belongs in its chosen theme or plugin location.
