b2 was the precursor of WordPress and developed in 2001. It used PHP and MySQL but was not so successful (only 3000 blogs until 2003). WordPress appeared the first time in 2003 as a fork of b2, version 1.0 was in development until January 2004. WordPress has since been improved many times through updates. WordPress 5.0 shipped a new block-based editor called "Gutenberg". The latest major release is WordPress 5.5 released on August 11, 2020.
WordPress is a PHP-based, open source content management system (cms) for creating websites and blogs. Through its dynamic presentation of content, webmasters have the flexibility to create beautiful and useful websites easily. Through its system of filters and hooks, WordPress allows developers to extend functionality through pieces of code called functions, which can be grouped into separate executables called "plugins". It is also possible to customize a WordPress installation via the creation of custom themes.
