#84 – Aaron Reimann on WordPress’ First Twenty Years

WP Tavern

On the Jukebox Podcast today we have Aaron Reimann, and he's here to look back over the last 20 years of WordPress and tease out which aspects of WordPress' evolution were pivotal in making it the CMS that it is today. We talk about the major milestones such as the addition of plugins and themes, as well as custom post types. We get into the fact that it was by no means certain that WordPress would come to dominate the CMS space at the beginning, as other offerings such as Joomla and Drupal were also creating their own solutions. We discuss the importance of Gutenberg as well as the community which binds the whole project together. Will WordPress still be the popular choice for website building? Who knows, but it’ll be fun to see what the future holds.
