Now a days most web apps are using a so called REST Api for the server and a Javascript framework/library for the client side. There is pretty much a REST framework for every programming language (also exists a lot of courses on REST here) and for the client the top 3 frameworks/libraries are React, Angular and Vue. But first get the basics down like HTML, CSS and Javascript (Typescript if you like safe non chaos programming languages), then learn the concept and the model of an REST Api. Then when it comes to the client side it's mostly preference which framework/library you use. If you are used to OO-programming I would recommend React because components are a lot like objects otherwise pick either Angular or Vue. You could learn SQL as well even though most of that is taken care of by the frameworks (most of the time you never write SQL). A side note is to learn about common web security, even if frameworks handle those problems by default it is always good to know.

Thank You for your answer,

Therefore you mean to learn with the following prference: 1)HTML 2)CSS 3)JavaScript 4)REST Api 5)React 6)SQL

The above would be considered a good way learning path? Or somethging else combination, for instance :

1)HTML 2)CSS 3)CSS Framework(ie:Bootstrap) 4)Javascript 5)React 6)PHP 7)SQL 8)WordPress

PHP in manywebsite offices is a must, they use to work with WordPress and PHP in order to create their final website. This was told by an web site company ovner that is important to know PHP i order to change WordPress site as you like.

Currently, i have finshed with very easy things about WordPress and some of the lessons contain PHP code that canot follow.

Also, how create Themes,Plugins that is more advanced.

Maybe quit WordPress and beging learning more in depth HTML and afterwards CSS What you say about

Thank You again,
