WordPress is the world’s most popular website platform for a reason. In this section, you’ll find tips, tutorials, and insights on getting the most out of your WordPress site—whether you’re just starting out or looking to enhance your existing setup. From choosing the right plugins and themes to improving performance, security, and SEO, we cover everything you need to build and manage a powerful, user-friendly website with WordPress.
The major change in WordPress 5.0 is the introduction of the Gutenberg editor. Gutenberg is a drag-and-drop interface that dramatically changes how posts and pages are built.
WordPress 5.0 will most probably be released this Thursday, December 6 2018. This comes as a surprise to a lot of people, including us. WordPress 5.0 includes the Gutenberg editor, giving users a brand new editing experience. While we initially see this as an improvement, we doubt if everyone is ready for it at this point.
We often get asked how to install a WordPress plugin – here’s a 3 step guide that gets straight to the point. This will apply to most plugins – although if you’re installing a plugin that needs additional settings or configuration you may need to follow additional steps from the plugin developer.
When WordPress 5.0 is released this month – currently planned for November 19 – your site needs to be running WooCommerce 3.5.1+ to avoid breaking changes. This is even more important if you have auto-updates toggled on.
