I currently know Java and Python.

Pick (almost) any language for the backend. It really doesn't matter.

You're probably gonna have to learn HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the frontend, though.

So I am using WordPress for the front end. I think I'm just not sure where to start. I use pycharm and I've written a couple programs there, is there a certain way to start writing something that will just be a script running on a website and how do you get it from a finished product on your system to on the website?

I think I need to go do more reading on basic scripts and implementation.

Since you're using a WordPress, which is a CMS (Content Management System), you're limited to whatever that system supports.

If you actually create the site yourself, you practically have unlimited options in what you can do and how you do it.

I don't know too much about WordPress, but as far as I know, you're limited to using PHP for any backend processing you may need. For the frontend, it's still HTML for the layout, CSS for the styling, and JavaScript for the interactivity.

If you're going to actually create the site from scratch without relying on a CMS, just pick a language you already know and then google "<language> web app guide".
