- How to extend WordPress core blocks with interactivity using PHP filters
- Adding editor controls for user-configurable settings
- Implementing touch event handling for mobile-friendly experiences
Who Should Attend:
WordPress plugin and theme developers comfortable with block development basics who want to create richer, more interactive user experiences without relying on external JavaScript frameworks.
You’ll Leave With:
Working code, a deeper understanding of the Interactivity API, and practical patterns you can apply to your own projects immediately.
