🤖 WP LLM vs ChatGPT

ChatGPT Limitations for WordPress

ChatGPT struggles with WordPress-specific concepts:

  • Generic PHP Knowledge: Limited understanding of WordPress hooks, filters, and APIs
  • Outdated Information: Training cutoff means missing recent WordPress features
  • Security Gaps: Often generates insecure code without proper sanitization
  • Performance Issues: No WordPress-specific optimization knowledge
  • Block Editor Confusion: Limited understanding of Gutenberg and block themes

WP LLM WordPress Excellence

WP LLM excels at WordPress development:

  • WordPress-First Training: Trained exclusively on WordPress code and documentation
  • Current Standards: Up-to-date with latest WordPress features and best practices
  • Security-First: Built-in WordPress security patterns and validation
  • Performance Optimized: WordPress-specific caching and query optimization
  • Block Editor Mastery: Deep understanding of Gutenberg, FSE, and block themes

Real-World Example: Custom Post Type

ChatGPT Output:

php
// Basic, insecure implementation
function create_post_type() {
    register_post_type('product', array(
        'public' => true,
        'labels' => array('name' => 'Products')
    ));
}

WP LLM Output:
