WordPress is used by 28% of websites on the internet.
All of this is owed to the fantastic community behind it, the community that builds the features that make WordPress what it is today.There is a lot of information online for WordPress users to learn from and in such I have compiled a list of the top 5 resources on the web that aim to deliver high-quality content for users.
1. WPBeginner
This is non-arguably the best resource site for WordPress.The quality of tutorials which are both available in written form and video not only benefit beginners but experts even truly benefit from the information they provide.It is owned by Syed Balkhi who himself is an established authority in the field of WordPress and he also leads the team at WPBeginner.
They also have a wide range of deals and coupons available for users in various fields.If you want to buy hosting space, a new theme or a new plugin, check it out first on WPBeginner, they might have coupons.
I remember about a year ago, when I purchased my first hosting account from Inmotion Hosting, as far as I can remember I also used a 50% coupon provided by WPBeginner which as a teenager was a considerable sum of money to me.
They have a wide range of articles on WordPress plugins, themes, troubleshooting, search engine optimization, security and also a helpful guide for beginners.
2. WordPress Codex
The WordPress Codex is maintained by the fantastic community itself at WordPress.org.It has tutorials on the most basic of topics to the most complex ones including plugin and theme development, WordPress API’s and WordPress security.
It also has a glossary which you can go through to make sure you know about the topics that make WordPress.
Other notable links mentioned on the page include references as to how you can help the WordPress community by giving back by:
- Helping in the support forums
- Helping to translate WordPress to your local language
- Reporting security issues & bugs to the respective developers
- Helping to create the Codex documentation.
If you are a beginner or an expert, believe me, the Codex has definitely got you covered.
3. WP Tavern
Guess who owns this site? Matt Mullenweg. Don’t you know him? Well, he is the man behind WordPress since its inception back in 2004.Although WP Tavern was found on 23rd January 2009 by Jeff Chandler, it was purchased by Matt on June 8, 2011.However, Jeff was later hired by Matt and still continues to contribute to WP Tavern along with other writers.
