Video Title: WordPress Tutorial 1: Introduction
Hello everyone welcome to an introduction to WordPress this series of videos has got something for everyone from beginner to intermediate to advanced users if you’re a beginner or someone who doesn’t want to write code you will learn the fundamentals of using the WordPress back-end to create pages posts navigation menus but just basic
Settings and then you can combine that later with pre-existing themes and plugins to create your own websites however for our intermediate to advanced users we’re gonna roll up our sleeves and learn how to create a theme from scratch which means we’re going to begin with zero Files zero lines of code and we’re
Going to write everything together so you can really learn how to bend WordPress to your will and get it to do whatever you need it to do now before we get started let’s spend about a minute to review what wordpress is and why we’re so excited to be using it so what
Is WordPress well WordPress is a free open-source web publishing system which is just another way of saying it’s a free tool to help you build websites so who uses WordPress perhaps you’ve heard that it’s used by small businesses or for personal blogs but it’s also used by governments schools nonprofits and fortune 500
Companies which means WordPress is for everyone it doesn’t matter who you are or what you’re trying to achieve with your website there’s a good chance that WordPress can help you now not only can WordPress help you but the community surrounding WordPress can also help you and it is a massive community somewhere
Between 17 to almost 20% of all web sites on the internet are powered by WordPress that’s almost one in five now I can explain later why that’s an amazing statistic that we should all be excited about and that we all benefit from but for now just know that a lot of
People use WordPress and finally the greatest strength of WordPress at least in my opinion is the attitude surrounding it there’s a very can-do self empowered helpful let’s keep things simple but remember that we can achieve anything attitude attached to WordPress and I absolutely love it so in this series of
Videos I want to share some of that love for WordPress with you and get you started so let’s dive right in in front of you is the wordpress dashboard you’ll also hear this referred to as the WordPress admin or the WordPress back-end you can think of this as home base this is where
You administer your website this is where you create posts and pages so on and so forth now it’s important to point out that the general public the people that view your website cannot and will not see this back end or this dashboard only you as the site owner or site
Content contributor will see this so if you imagine it’s the year 1950 and we’re running a newspaper the general public doesn’t see the printing press or the offices where you’re journalists work they only see the front facing newspaper so in this case the public only sees our
Website the way that we construct it whereas this WordPress back-end this looks relatively the same for all WordPress websites and it’s where the content creators work to add content to the website and administer the website and I think that’ll make more sense here in just a moment so for example if we
Click posts in the left hand menu we see a list of news post titles so this one reads how to assess website analytics this one is titled tutorial demo files posted and you can tell right away that this is not how a public facing website will be laid out this is not interesting
Or captivating in any way this is only for the site owners and content contributors so these are the existing posts on the website so we can click on one if we want to begin to edit it and then this is very similar to a word processing program we can bold certain
Text make it italic we can add new text and then when we’re done we can simply click this update or Save button and we just saved an update to a post so that’s how simple it is to edit existing content with WordPress now let’s take a
Look at how easy it is to create new content altogether so if we go back to the post screen we can see a list of our existing items if we click this add new button we can simply provide a title new example post and then you just add in a
Bit of content in the body section add a bit of Latin dummy text you can choose a category if you’d like so we can choose between article or news or we can even add a new category just for organizational purposes let’s call this news and then just click this blue
Publish button and that’s it we just saved a new article and it would now show up on our front facing website and that’s really the heart and soul of the WordPress back-end you can edit existing content and create new content now there are different types of content so for example we were
Dealing with posts however let’s take a very quick look at pages the best way to describe pages is to simply contrast them with posts because the two are very similar but there’s a key difference so let’s say for example we ran a blog or a news based website most of our content
Would live within posts because we want this constant stream of content flowing through our website however we still might have a few static pillars in our website like an about Us page or our history page or contact us page now when I just used the word static to describe
Pages that doesn’t mean that they’re locked in place or that you can’t edit them so for example if we click on about us we can edit this page we can make this text bold we can add new paragraphs and then click the Update button so the
Content isn’t fixed in the sense that it can’t be changed it’s a bit more subtle than that what we really mean is that posts are usually displayed in reverse chronological order so the newest posts are at the top if you think of a news website but pages
Aren’t really part of a stream or river of content they’re sort of independent timeless in a way and that’s what we mean when we say fixed or static but aside from that you can see that pages and posts are nearly identical you provide a title and then a bit of
Content you can update and save them now posts and pages are really the heart and soul of WordPress so in a sense if you’ve already just learned how to use WordPress it’s that simple but you might be thinking okay so there’s posts and pages is that it is that all WordPress
Is and if it is why is WordPress so insanely popular why do people make such a big fuss over it so to address those questions or that series of concerns I will say this yes the core of WordPress really is that simple but the core is also very powerful and very easy to
Extend and customize so for example out-of-the-box wordpress only comes with posts and pages so you can have a news section and then a few static pages but what if you wanted a completely separate part of your website to have recipes so dinners desserts meal ideas well you can
See in the sidebar that I’ve created a custom post type named recipes and that if I click that we’ve got all this entirely different content here beef stew feta chicken salad blackberry pie potato salad chocolate cake and you can see that we can even use different categories or different taxonomy systems
We can categorize the meals as chicken or dessert dinner and these categories are entirely separate from the categories that we use for the news or blog section of our website and if we click on one so if I click on potato salad you can see that it looks just
Like a post or a page so you can add content oh here’s where the ingredients go here’s where the instructions go but it would be very easy to adjust some of the settings in WordPress so that when you’re editing a recipe there’s all another field down here that says recipe
Rating and you can choose between one to five stars and then there could be another field called recommendation and we would say whether we actually recommend this recipe or not so the point is is that you could have any number of fields in addition to just
This main body text field and you can have those fields only display for certain content types which means WordPress isn’t limited to just posts and pages yes that’s what it starts with out of the box but WordPress is only limited by your imagination we could create other custom content types in addition to
Recipes we could create restaurant reviews photo galleries slideshows chefs corner with interviews whatever your imagination can think of you can really extend and customize WordPress to help you keep it organized dynamic and easily accessible to the public now this first lesson or video that you’re currently watching is just to whet your appetite
We didn’t really get our hands dirty and learn any of the details yet I do want to say though I purposely did not show you the front-facing website so if you remember we discussed that only the admin or the site owner sees this dashboard whereas the public sees
Something different they see the actual website now the reason I didn’t show you what the website looks like is because I don’t want you to have any preconceived notions of what a quote WordPress website looks like there’s a lot of people that think that all WordPress
Websites look the same or that they have some cookie cutter formula but I’m here to tell you that they don’t need to be that way and that largely they’re not that way WordPress does not place any restrictions on how your website should look the only reason some WordPress
Websites feel cookie cutter or maybe they look the same is because a certain theme has become very popular a theme is what controls the public facing portion of your website it’s what your audience sees so again you as the admin you see the dashboard when you’re editing your
Website and the public sees what the theme outputs so the theme says okay on the home page there should be five news posts then there should be five recipes and three restaurant reviews and should use these colors and these background images and this is how it should look and function that’s the role
Of the theme now remember earlier when we said that the WordPress community was huge it is and it’s also filled with people who share their work so imagine if someone who’s a developer created a really useful theme and then half a million or a million people started
Using that theme well at that point you can start to understand why some people might say WordPress websites look cookie cutter because they’ve seen thousands or even millions of websites using the exact same theme but I’m here to remind you that it’s up to each site owner to
Choose what their website looks like and how it functions it’s not WordPress is fault that certain themes become incredibly popular and it’s actually helpful to move beyond themes and look at WordPress as more of a tool WordPress is really just a tool that stores information in a
Database for you that makes that data easy to manipulate easy to query easy to present to the public and you can leverage your own HTML CSS JavaScript and PHP code to output whatever you want to output now the beautiful part is that there’s no right or wrong way to put
Together a WordPress website if you want to use a free theme you can if you want to buy a premium theme you can if you want to design and craft and code your own theme from scratch you can uh-huh there’s no right or wrong way and that’s what makes WordPress so unbelievably
Amazing is that it’s this huge community of people all using the same platform but they all use it in their own different way and they share advice and resources and tips and tutorials now this video series is basically just me sharing the info that I feel is the most
Useful now whether you’re a beginner or intermediate or advanced user we’re going to be looking at all of the different WordPress admin screens and settings and we’re also going to look at how these different WordPress modules tie into theme output so whether you want to use a pre-existing theme or
Whether you want to code your own theme from absolute scratch we’re going to take a look at all of the factors at play so thank you very much for watching this in directory video and I’ll see you in future lessons very soon thanks bye

THIS IS CALLED CUSTOMER SCAMMING
1 – webhost.pro sends me hosting renewal email
2 – I renew my hosting
3 – Once I make the payment for my renewal webhost.pro suspends my account
4 – I write a ticket asking why my account was suspended
5 – webhost.pro responds and admits that my account was hacked
6 – webhost.pro NEVER warned me that something was wrong
7 – webhost.pro received my money for renewal, then it suspended my account and now it does not allow me to rescue backup of my websites
8 – webhost.pro Answer that to rescue my information I must buy another hosting that also belongs to webhost.pro (ezdomainname.com) at a much higher price.
9 – There is no proof that my websites were hacked, they just suspended.
I MUST PAY ANOTHER HOSTING TO RESCUE MY INFORMATION AND WEBSITES
