In my talk, I’ll discuss how powerful the plugin/theme model is and go over some common scenarios – membership sites, profiles, hidden blogs, team forums, etc.
That’s just the surface, though. Did you know you could run an entire pen and paper RPG with WordPress? I’ve done it! Did you know you can create extensive databases, interactive maps, and complicated connections between post types? The tools are there!
In the talk, I’m going to dive into a few of my wildest projects to show how you can use normal tools in unorthodox ways to create something well beyond what the plugin author ever could have dreamed of.
As a note – in most of the situations, the user can accomplish the things I discuss with backend tools and UIs, so they won’t have to dig into PHP. However, they should have a base understanding of post types and taxonomies as well as familiarity with HTML and CSS.
