This session will help you understand the basics of WordPress.
SETUP We’ll cover everything from initial setup to publishing posts, adding categories, tagging content, and much more. We will go through the entire Dashboard, sharing all the useful tools and providing tips along the way.
THEMES You want the site to look good. Really good. You start researching themes – but there are so many variables. Frameworks, Child themes, responsive, retina! Everything will be broken down for you: what to look for in a WordPress theme, how to find a good one, best practices and more.
PLUGINS The range of over 35,000 community-contributed plugins is one of the most valuable features of WordPress.org. But how do you determine what’s a safe and effective plugin without being overwhelmed by choice? We’ll look at when to use a plugin and clarify the difference between widgets and plugins. We’ll discuss how to make an informed decision about which plugin to use – and explore how to troubleshoot any conflicts that may crop up.
