Interview Questions to Ask Before You Hire WordPress Developers
Identify the right fit faster with these targeted technical and behavioral questions.
WordPress Core & Architecture
What’s the difference between actions and filters?
Actions run at events; filters receive a value and must return it. Use add_action() / add_filter().
How do you enqueue assets correctly?
Hook wp_enqueue_scripts (or admin_enqueue_scripts) and call wp_enqueue_script() / wp_enqueue_style().
How do you register a Custom Post Type?
Call register_post_type() in a plugin; define supports, rewrite, and show_in_rest.
How do you pass PHP data to JS safely?
Use wp_localize_script() or wp_add_inline_script() after the target handle.
Theme Development & Gutenberg
Why use a child theme?
It inherits the parent and lets you override files safely; add header in style.css and enqueue in functions.php.
How do you add theme features?
Call add_theme_support() (e.g., title-tag, post-thumbnails, editor-styles).
How do I reduce train/serving skew?
Scaffold with @wordpress/create-block; register via block.json and enqueue editor/front assets.
How do you style the block editor?
Enable add_theme_support('editor-styles') and call add_editor_style().
Plugin Development Basics
What’s the minimum plugin structure?
A main PHP file with the plugin header; guard direct access, use autoload/namespace for classes.
How do you run setup on activation?
Use register_activation_hook(); for tables, call dbDelta().
How do you clean up on uninstall?
Add uninstall.php or register_uninstall_hook() to delete options/data deliberately.
How do you build a settings screen?
Use the Settings API: register_setting, add_settings_section, add_settings_field.
Database & Data Layer
How do you prevent SQL injection with $wpdb?
Always use $wpdb->prepare(); never interpolate variables directly.
When to use options vs post meta?
Global config → options (mind autoload); per-post data → postmeta.
How do you handle schema changes?
Track a db_version option; on upgrade, run conditional dbDelta().
How do you query large datasets efficiently?
Prefer indexed columns; minimize meta_query LIKE; use custom tables when needed.
Security & Hardening
How do you protect against CSRF?
Create nonces with wp_create_nonce() and verify with wp_verify_nonce().
Sanitize vs escape — when?
Sanitize on input (e.g., sanitize_text_field()); escape on output (esc_html(), esc_attr()).
How do you gate privileged actions?
Check capabilities with current_user_can() before processing.
How do you harden file edits/uploads?
Set DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT and validate MIME via wp_check_filetype().
Red Flags to Watch For
⭕ Overuses pre-built themes without customization.
⭕ No plugin security or code review.
⭕ Ignores site speed & scalability.
⭕ Lacks WooCommerce or API integration experience.
Additional Interview Questions
Performance & Caching
How do you enable object caching?
Use Redis/Memcached drop-in object-cache.php; leverage wp_cache_* APIs.
What’s your page caching approach?
Server/proxy or plugin caching; vary by login; set proper cache headers.
How do you optimize images?
Serve WebP/AVIF, responsive sizes with wp_get_attachment_image(), lazy-load media.
How do you improve Core Web Vitals?
Defer non-critical JS, preload key assets, inline critical CSS, avoid layout shift.
WooCommerce Engineering
How do you add custom product fields?
Inject fields with admin hooks; save via woocommerce_process_product_meta.
How do you customize checkout?
Filter woocommerce_checkout_fields and validate/sanitize before order creation.
How do you scale order tables?
Use HPOS (Custom Order Tables); update queries and indexes accordingly.
How do you run async jobs?
Use Action Scheduler for queues, webhooks for external systems.
REST API & Headless
How do you add a REST endpoint?
Register via register_rest_route() with strict permission_callback.
How do you authenticate headless apps?
Cookie+nonce for same-origin; JWT/OAuth for decoupled clients.
How do you expose custom data?
Use register_rest_field() or map to WPGraphQL types/fields.
How do you handle CORS safely?
Send specific Access-Control-Allow-Origin and allow preflight for methods/headers.
Tooling, CI/CD & Ops
What are useful WP-CLI commands?
wp plugin update --all, wp search-replace, wp cron event run.
How do you version and document releases?
Semantic versions, readme.txt changelog, upgrade notes.
How do you deploy safely?
Build with Composer/npm, run DB upgrades, keep uploads in shared storage, enable maintenance mode.
How do you manage environments?
Use WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE; block indexing on staging; scripted DB/content sync.
