This is a pretty common question I get. It's probably a lot less than you think or the snobs and know-it-alls out there will tell you. Of course, the phrase "be a WordPress developer" is pretty subjective. So, I'm going to tackle "how much PHP do you need to know to build a WordPress plugin". Because, generally, if you know enough PHP to build a plugin... you can probably build a theme. And, it's a little bit more objective. Anyway, I lay out it all out in this episode and tell you the story of my very first WordPress plugin and what it lead to for me.Show notes: https://www.johnmorrisshow.com/284
