In this video, I share how I built a custom solution for displaying guest speaker images on my podcast website using WordPress. I combined plugins like Seriously Simple Podcasting and the outdated WP Term Images, then created a custom Gutenberg block to dynamically display speaker headshots. I discuss the challenges of working with the REST API, custom taxonomies, and React-based block development, along with lessons learned about balancing PHP simplicity with JavaScript flexibility.
