Just reading this again gives me a backflash of the horrors of working with WordPress. If you haven’t seen the source, you don’t know just how god-awful the code is - and it just won’t die, because of all the ecosystem traction it has.

Even the PHP developers have chosen to ignore WordPress in language evolution considerations, as the WordPress community refuses to do accept kind of progress for their project - they still use the unsafe, outdated mysql-API without parametrised queries, for example.

Whatever you do in 2023—if you can avoid it, don’t use WordPress as a CMS.
