Have you ever felt limited by what you can do with WordPress without calling a developer for help? Have you ever searched for how to do something in WordPress only to find (seemingly) complicated tutorials that require you to use code to achieve your ends?

The topic will relate to the clarity and flexibility one acquires as they develop basic coding skills, the surprising ease in which they can be acquired and the abundance of opportunities that arise when we open the door to what goes on “under the hood” in WordPress.
