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, you’ll be able to accomplish the things I discuss with backend tools and UIs, so you won’t have to dig into PHP. However, you’ll get the most out of this session if you have a base understanding of post types and how WordPress stores information.
