Wordpress 101



Main Content

WordPress 101 WordPress is a completely free web publishing platform and content management system (CMS) that enables anyone to operate a website or blog. Created in 2003, WordPress is now over 10 years old and currently powers 1 out of every 5 sites on the internet, making it the most popular web software for end-users and businesses alike. WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two ways of hosting a WordPress site. The thing that varies with these two methods is the actual host. By using WordPress.org, you may download the script free of charge and host it yourself on a local machine or with a hosting provider ( such as Hostinger ).

What they’re saying about the WP101 Plugin

Here’s why WordPress freelancers, agencies, and hosting companies trust the WP101 Plugin to provide WordPress training to their customers.

We install the WP101 Plugin on every client website—from new bloggers to professors at Big Ten universities. This has significantly reduced support questions and support-related costs, which has easily paid for the subscription to the WP101 Plugin. Financially, this was a very sound business decision and has provided significant ROI. But more importantly, the videos have empowered our customers to obtain self help when they need it and as often as needed, which in turn has created a very positive user experience.” Rebecca Gill
As you watch most screencast tutorials, you'll quickly realize that the person recording them is just clicking through every screen and checkbox, trying to show you everything that’s in their head. That’s because they’re not teachers. They’re not educators. They’re just expert users of the software. The difference at WP101 is that the entire team behind it are focused on education. They’re focused on making sure that you can learn. And to that end, the videos have a completely different feel… one that I think you’re going to appreciate.”Chris Lema
The WP101 Plugin is a huge benefit to my business. Whenever I start a new project, I set the client up with the WP101 videos so they can become familiar with WordPress — while I'm still working on their project. Many of my clients have never used WordPress before and aren’t very tech-savvy. Before the WP101 Plugin, I’d often spend hours explaining how to manage menus or upload images to their site. Now, I'm free to work more productively, and my clients enjoy the videos right in their dashboard.”Bill Erickson

  • If you’ve defined the API key via the WP101_API_KEY constant, you’ll be given instructions for updating the value.
  • Hidden courses and videos will automatically be passed to the WP101 Plugin app as part of the exchange, and will be reflected automatically. No more having to filter out videos!

Reviews

Wordpress

This plugin is incredible for my clients. I usually make custom training video and this cuts those down significantly. (And they took sooo much time to make.) The ability to add a few custom videos is fantastic. I especially appreciate the thorough and clear documentation for using the block editor, which many of my clients have found intimidating. They also provide FABULOUS support. Not that you'd usually need it -- usually it works straight out of the box -- but I had an odd hosting scenario and they took the time to carefully debug the situation and tell me what was wrong with the server setup. I can't recommend them enough!
