And once you have found your specific collection of plugins that happen not to put the exact features you need behind a paywall but others, you ain't touching those either.
That or you develop your theme with the features you need baked in. This is the irony of the Hugo people, they’re capable developers that can make themes but they can’t just create a simples Wordpress theme from the ground?
Yeah actually writing Wordpress themes was easier than I thought. But I wrote them for the old editor, not Gutenberg – I opted for ClassicPress instead which was quite a banger in the effort-to-outcome equation
There isn’t much of a difference between writing a theme for Guthemberg and the classic editor. In fact your current theme should work just fine in Guthemberg as it just adds the extra html for the built in blocks to your posts / pages. You aren’t required to create a block based theme and split everything into blocks, that’s kind of a myth around Guthemberg.
Damn that's cool, then maybe I should take a second look at Wordpress
Capable developers don't touch PHP ;)
(sorry, couldn't help myself. I love WordPress, but I don't much love its innards or the language...)
Capable developers touch whatever language is required to get a job done.
There's always more than one option and it is rare situation when a language is "required" .
And this is why, when I'm investigating phishing links, I've gotten used to mumbling, "fucking WordPress". WordPress itself is pretty secure. Many WordPress plugins, if kept up to date, are reasonably secure. But, for some god forsaken reason, people seem to be allergic to updating their WordPress plugins and end up getting pwned and turned into malware serving zombies. Please folks, if it's going to be on the open internet, install your fucking updates!
Because updates also add paywall, which is worse than hackers! /s
