In this post, we’ll explain how WordPress works from the ground up. We’ll start by explaining the basics of how a website is built and then move on to different sections of a WordPress site.
With tens of thousands of themes and plugins available, it’s easy to get lost in all the choices out there. Where should you start? Where can you find quality themes and plugins? Where do you begin customizing your website to make it your own?
The first thing to remember is that WordPress is a framework. You aren’t limited to doing everything within a particular framework.
WordPress, as a content management system (CMS), takes care of a lot of the heavy lifting for you. It allows you to build your site without knowing how HTML, CSS, or PHP work underneath the hood.
So, How does WordPress work?
Here’s a quick rundown of what happens under the hood:
WordPress implements database-backed content management that uses PHP to store and retrieve data. WordPress doesn’t include any database or server-side code.
The whole site is stored in the database in a way that’s similar to an HTML file. If you think of hosting providers as your store, then your store is stored in the database.
