WordPress Codex<\/h2>\n

WordPress codex is an online manual created by WordPress developers<\/a>. It is the resource that contains the details of every function and tag used by WordPress.
\nSee the following screenshot for what it actually contains:
\n\"codex\"\/
\nWordPress codex is like the guide book which guides how to use the whole WordPress and its inbuilt functionality.<\/p>\n

Here are some points which describe its purpose briefly:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. It is used for the guidance of installation and updation of WordPress. WordPress installation guidance can be a little technical. It\u2019s important that you already know how to transfer files and how to create a database of WordPress.<\/li>\n
  2. It provides some WordPress lessons for the WordPress beginner<\/a> or learner. It is important if you want to learn how to use the WordPress platform.<\/li>\n
  3. It provides guidance on how to create WordPress themes. It describes the concept of child themes, template tags, and the template hierarchy.<\/li>\n
  4. It provides information to developers on how to develop plugins. It provides information about WordPress coding standards and the WordPress plugin API. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you have skills in PHP programming and you want to enhance your career in this field, a PHP certification<\/a> from StudySection can help you reach your desired goals.
