On March 29, 2022, the founder of our WordPress agency for enterprise, Ivan Popov, held a seminar named WordPress Beyond “The Beyond” at SoftUni – the largest and most authoritative educational IT institution in Bulgaria.

The seminar was aimed at people interested in the WordPress platform, which is increasingly becoming the most preferred content management system for large-scale Enterprise organizations.

Ivan’s goal was to present WordPress in a more unfamiliar light and take us beyond our preconceived assumptions about the platform.

As it became clear from the seminar, WordPress can be used as an online-based software that provides highly innovative, high-tech solutions for Enterprise businesses.

The Controversial Reputation of WordPress

In the seminar, Ivan explained the reason behind the controversial reputation of WordPress – the best “bad” system and the worst “good” system.

Thanks to his many years of experience with the platform, Ivan has more in-depth observations on the polar perceptions regarding the nature of WordPress.

WordPress Beyond the Most Popular Applications of the Platform

Viewers of the seminar had the opportunity to learn about the concept of WordPress Beyond “The Beyond”, or how the system has evolved from a CMS to a standalone Framework for writing PHP code.

Ivan focused on the Headless architecture, which is becoming increasingly popular in the web development world and which turns WordPress into a tool for feeding content.

Headless WordPress: The Future of Enterprise

In the seminar, we learned more about the powerful REST API functionality of WordPress, which can be successfully combined with the modern GraphQL system to provide high-tech and reliable web development solutions.

Additionally, Ivan presented the WP Handbook in more detail. Viewers of the seminar now know that they can find functions for pretty much everything in this Handbook. We also gained a better understanding of the specifics of SQL queries and WP_Query.

Exercise on Creating a Headless React.js Site

Of course, theory must be backed up by practice. This is why Ivan had prepared an interesting practical lesson, especially for the viewers of the seminar. In it, he demonstrated how to build a WordPress website with a Headless architecture. Virtual attendees saw examples with both REST API and GraphQL.
