Learning to code in WordPress doesn’t have to be hard. In this video, you’ll get a beginner-friendly PHP crash course and learn how to write real, practical code directly inside WordPress using WPCodeBox.
We start with the basics of PHP: echo, variables, functions, arguments, return values, and if/else statements. You’ll then see how WordPress hooks and filters work, giving you the foundation to run your code at the right time and place.
Next, you’ll build three real-world snippets step by step: hiding the admin bar for non-admin users, adding tracking code into your site’s head, and enabling SVG uploads for admins. These are common tasks that you can now handle confidently with your own code.
By the end, you’ll understand PHP fundamentals, how WordPress hooks tie everything together, and how to write reusable snippets without touching theme files or FTP. With WPCodeBox, you can manage, organize, and run your code in one clean interface while keeping everything safe and efficient.
