Introduction
This module will look at how we can go beyond just using the WordPress admin panel to control our website. By opening the correct folder in an IDE - we can change theme files to create more profound changes to our site. By getting hands on with theme code, we take a closer look at the inner workings of WordPress.
Next, we will dive into the WordPress REST API and the concept of a headless CMS. This allows us to use modern frontend tools to access the data we manage within WordPress, instead of relying on PHP for all templating needs.
Finally, we will deploy a WordPress site to a live server so that it can be shared publicly. At the end of this module you should be comfortable working inside a theme folder, accessing WordPress data using an API and releasing your work to the public.
