Hello & Welcome to this comprehensive WordPress Masterclass! If you’re eager to dive into the world of WordPress development, you’ve come to the right place. This masterclass was inspired by one of the most renowned books in the WordPress community, offering you a deep dive into the essentials and advanced techniques of WordPress mastery. We will guide you from the basics to advanced concepts, empowering you to integrate WordPress dashboard into any type of website.

I’m Raouf Madani, a software developer based in Canada with over 7 years of experience in WordPress development. Throughout my career, I’ve developed and sold various products to companies across different industries using WordPress. Last year, I had the pleasure of teaching over 100 students online through HiCounselor (California, US), which inspired me to expand my teaching journey here on Udemy.

Here’s the takeout of this masterclass :

Mastering the fundamentals of WordPress, including :
- Environment setup.
- Dashboard navigation.

Exploring PHP.
Template hierarchy, and custom content creation using WP_Query.

Hosting your WordPress website in a Virtual Private Server.
Four real-world projects :
