WordPress is open source software for creating a website, blog, or app, built around extensible themes and plugins. It focuses on publishing and managing content through a predictable, easy-to-learn core while allowing extensive customization when needed. The software emphasizes flexibility, with thousands of themes and plugins that can alter design, functionality, and workflows without changing core code. It is maintained by a large volunteer community that contributes code, translations, documentation, and support, and is released under the GPL license.
