Which one of you is a WordPress Developer

Hey everyone! 👋 I’m curious—how many of you are WordPress developers? Whether you’re building websites, creating custom themes, or coding plugins, WordPress is such a flexible platform to work with. Let’s talk about what it’s like being a WordPress developer and connect with others in the community!

What a WordPress Developer Actually Do?

A WordPress developer is someone who works with WordPress to build or customize websites. Some of us focus on creating themes, others develop plugins, and many do both.

For me, being a WordPress developer is all about solving problems and creating websites that make people’s lives easier. What about you?

The Challenges We Face

Like any job, WordPress development comes with its challenges. For example:

  • Making sure everything works smoothly after updates.
  • Meeting client requests that can sometimes feel impossible!
  • Learning new things as WordPress keeps evolving.

What challenges have you faced, and how do you handle them?

What Makes It All Worth It

Despite the challenges, there’s so much to love about WordPress:

  • The freedom to create anything you can imagine.
  • Seeing your work live online.
  • Being part of a global community of developers and users.

I’ve built some really fun projects, and it’s always satisfying to bring ideas to life.

Hows the job landscape these days for WordPress?

I used to be a Wordpress custom solutions developer a few years ago, but then I transitioned to front-end, and I wouldn't go back, but I wonder how things are for devs these days...
