Only a monumental idiot tries to pass off the prime example of how to write PHP badly as their own. It was a lousy blog script in 2004 and hasn't improved (nor actually become a CMS) since.
Oh yes, and 2001 will be year of the Linux Desktop because Windows is antiquated garbage! Wordpress has a dominating market share and a practical monopoly on the ecosystem of templates, plugins, etc. Whether or not it's a prime example of bad PHP is completely irrelevant.
A ton of dominating software is poorly written, ask people working at Adobe, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP etc. It just comes to show that people that vote with their wallets don't care about programmer pet priorities such as code quality.
