No, you do not need to be a programmer to use self-hosted WordPress. WordPress is known for its user-friendly interface and ease of use, so even if you have no programming experience, you should be able to create and manage a website with WordPress. That being said, knowing some basic HTML and CSS can be helpful when customizing your site, and if you want to create custom plugins or themes, you will need to have some programming knowledge. But overall, you do not need to be a programmer to use self-hosted WordPress.
