The field I'm in requires that my clients have some type of web presence, basically a 'brochure' website and of course that's a field WordPress seems to cover quite well.</p> <p>My question is regarding writing a plugin for my customer's website that integrates with the services I offer. I have roughly 12 years of PHP experience (last touched 5.3 or so somewhere around 2009) and I know it's changed but coding it shouldn't be an issue for me. I do have questions:</p> <ul> <li><p>What version of Wordpress should I aim for? 4.9 (which requires PHP 5.2...)</p></li> <li><p>What version of PHP should I target? I know this relates directly to the question above, but 5.4.x is dead and no longer supported, right?</p></li> <li><p>How hard is it for a customer to upgrade Wordpress versions? I seem to remember that upgrading Drupal 6.x websites was a nightmare and you'd better have your backup ready to go.</p></li> <li><p>Is PHP 7.3 compatible with Wordpress 4.9?</p></li> </ul> <p>Basically, if someone could do a greenfield Wordpress Plugin write up in 2019 I'd be thrilled. </p> wordpress php requestforpost
