Running WordPress at scale and decoupled: multisite networks (setup, administration, domain mapping, security) and headless/decoupled architectures over the REST API.
- WordPress Multisite Overview — what multisite is, when to use a network, and how sub-sites share a single install.
- Setting Up WordPress Multisite — enabling the network in
wp-config.phpand.htaccess, subdomain vs subdirectory modes. - Multisite Network Administration — the Network Admin dashboard, managing sites, users, themes, and plugins across the network.
- Multisite Domain Mapping — mapping custom domains to network sites and configuring DNS and SSL.
- Multisite Security — network-wide hardening, super admin controls, and isolating tenant risk.
- Headless WordPress Overview — decoupling the CMS backend from a separate frontend and the trade-offs involved.
- Using the REST API for Headless — consuming content endpoints, authentication, and CORS for external frontends.
- Decoupled Frontend Patterns — SSR, SSG, and hybrid patterns for building frontends against a WordPress backend.
- Secure WordPress Administration — course MOC.
- WordPress Architecture and Internals — the REST API and core internals that power headless setups.
- Server Administration — hosting, DNS, and SSL groundwork for networks and decoupled deployments.
- WordPress Security Best Practices — baseline hardening that multisite security builds on.
