Thanks, I've php background and recently I accepted a job offer as WordPress developer at an small compny but I found it very difficult to implement new features such as login page or calendarbooking with your own database connection as you do in php. I feel you're mostly locked to plugins, maybe I'm doing something wrong!

Hi Shafiq,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. WordPress has its own architecture, database schemas, etc. Once you get a hang out of its eco-system, you can implement such features on your own instead of using plugins. Wish you all the best in your WordPress learning journey :)
