Course Description

The WordPress dashboard is the control center for your website.  

This is where you can add content, edit web pages, and update your website.  
Once you have your WordPress website up and running on a server you can log in to your dashboard.  

Learn your way around the WordPress dashboard.  The nice thing about WordPress it’s always ready to lend a helping hand.  It comes with a menu in the dashboard that helps you get started right away.  You can click the links and start building your website content.

This course will teach you how to navigate through WordPress.

  • Setting user account
  • How to add content to your website
  • Different types of WordPress Themes and sites
  • The difference between Posts and Pages.  There are two basic types of content Posts and Pages that you can create in WordPress
  • Posting content is made easy with WordPress, you can add it as you would typing into a text editor or copy and paste it in directly into the editor. WordPress also provides publishing options where you can set when you want your content published.
  • How to publish and automate content to social media
  • How RSS feeds work within WordPress
  • All images, videos and audio files are controlled by WordPress within the Media Library.  It's wonderful to have access to all these items in one place, making them easy to access and use within posts.

It is definitely the material I and detail, but I there are times in the video it is stated you can access things from multiple locations, but I see no cursor or highlights of those other locations. Like for accessing themes, he mentions a quick button, and you can access it "here" but I see no indication in the video of those locations.

For myself who is totally starter in this section, this course was useless. First, this is an old version of Wordpress and how you know always changing and adding thinks, and my WordPress dashboard was different from course one. Second, I couldn't follow where he clicking on the screen just heard and DONE, needed to repeat a couple of times to see where and what he pressed. I didn`t learn how need to customise the webpage, how to change the colours...

Very Basic Course, I believe you can watch tutorial youtube videos for free then buy this. Overall, it did its job, Very basic though.

By Marbin Roland Campos Diaz on 11/2/2017

fácil de entender tomando en cuenta que eres nuevo en Wordpress, si eres usuario avanzado este curso no es para ti. Sin lugar a duda aprendes lo básico.

By IoannisDrivas on 10/12/2017

The whole course was really helpful and custructive for someone who needs to know the basic instructions for building a wordpress website for business purposes.

By Taju Ullrich on 6/2/2017

Der Kurs ist für meinen Geschmack zu allgemein gehalten, zu wenig Insidertipps, zuviel vorgelesenes, das eigentlich selbsterklärend ist. ich vermisse nützliche Tipps!

By Samuel Suh on 2/6/2017

It's extremely basic stuff. If that's what you're looking for, it's great. However, for a beginner video, it does not explain how to install wordpress from a brand new computer. It's not difficult, but just a little odd that he'd cover such basic info without the most basic info of them all; how to start.

By Cristian Furcila on 1/14/2017

Es muy bueno para aprender lo básico de WP. Se nota que el instructor sabe de lo que está hablando y va directamente a las explicaciones. Nada de intentar hacer el curso mas largo de lo que necesita ser.

Excellent walk thru of wordpress. By the time you are finished with this great course, you will have what it takes to create a fantastic wordpress site.

By Phiraphong Suparat on 9/2/2016

Teacher face is bigger more than 30% of content that he want to talk in first and second video,I'm not sure he want me to learning or see him face but It better in after video because i can see what content he want to teach. Okay, that good course for beginner who wanna know 'bout how to use wordpress. Cheers.
