Learning WordPress

Where to learn WordPress, from your first login to running a site day to day.

WordPress is documented well, and most questions you will have are answered in one of the places below. These are the resources we point customers at.

Official documentation

WordPress Documentation is the reference manual, maintained by the WordPress project. It replaced the old Codex, which is no longer kept up to date.

Learn WordPress has free courses and short lessons. It is the better starting point when you want to work through a topic rather than look one up.

Guides and video

The WordPress User Manual covers the admin screens in order, which suits anyone who wants a tour rather than an index.

Easy WP Guide is a plain-language manual for editing your own content. It stays away from HTML, PHP and theme building.

WordPress TV hosts talks from WordCamp events. WP101 sells short video courses, which suit people who would rather watch than read.
