WordPress.com vs WordPress.org
If you want to start a WordPress blog, you may notice that there are two versions of WordPress: // WordPress.com and // WordPress.org 。 So, which one should you choose? It depends on your requirements. Let's take a closer look!
// WordPress.com vs // WordPress.org , if you are considering starting a WordPress blog, you may notice that there are 2 versions of WordPress // WordPress.com and // WordPress.org 。 So, which one should you choose? It depends on your requirements. Let's take a closer look!
// WordPress.com
When you don't want to host your own blog, // WordPress.com Is a better choice.
// WordPress.com Your blog will be hosted, which is actually the best way to enjoy your blog for free. If you want to publish and establish on the WordPress blog with the lowest workload or cost as soon as possible, then // WordPress.com It is a good choice.
However, this option has some limitations. // WordPress.com The website is difficult to customize (the choice of theme and function is limited), and you cannot include your own advertisement. If you plan to make money from your blog, this will be a bad choice.
The last thing you have to remember is that you don't own this blog, but // WordPress.com have. If your blog does not comply with the policy, they can close your blog at any time.
// WordPress.org
// WordPress.org More flexible, but it brings a certain cost: you need a domain name and a virtual host (or other host) to host your blog. However, this is not a big cost. The trusteeship fee starts at a few dollars a month.
This method gives you more freedom: you can use the theme you choose and expand your blog Selection of plug-ins ， Add more features to your blog.
If you plan to create a company blog or website, you should select this option.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the autonomous version of WordPress (= // WordPress.org ）。
Why WordPress?
Open source software is easy to use, flexible, and the global use continues to evolve
Open source software
WordPress is open source software. This means that you do not have to pay for licenses or usage fees.
Easy to use
WordPress is easy to use. Not only is installation and configuration simple, but you also do not need any technical knowledge to create and maintain content.
flexible
Because WordPress is a flexible platform, it is easy to meet your needs. The default configuration contains basic knowledge, but you can also use a lot of interesting and powerful plug-ins to extend WordPress.
Global use
WordPress is used worldwide; Thousands of blogs and websites run on the WordPress platform. It is reported that 29.3% of the world's websites (the data is from January 2018) use WordPress!
Continuous development
Many developers work together to make WordPress better.
install
Before you start installing WordPress, you need to do a few things:
Domain name and virtual host (or other hosts, this article takes virtual host as an example) WordPress software www.wordpress.org Download the latest version
Domain name and virtual host
The first step is to select a domain name（ //www. mydomain.com ）And virtual hosts. There are many kinds of virtual hosts. In most cases, domain name registration is included in network hosting. If you are just starting to use WordPress, I suggest you choose to share a virtual host. At any time, if you need more power, you will be able to transfer your blog to another virtual host. Examples of excellent companies that provide foreign trade shared hosts are bluehost and Hostgator. They are one of the cheapest solutions, and they provide very good hosting and quality support!
If you want to build a professional blog or website for many visitors, you may consider hosting WordPress hosts such as WP Engine, linode, or vultr. // imaiko.com It also runs on Vultr. I'm very happy to have fast and professional hosting, service and support!
WordPress software
Step by step installation
WordPress is famous for its "5 minute installation" (sounds great, doesn't it?)
Step 1: Upload WordPress software
After you download WordPress and unzip the zip file, you must upload WordPress to your website for hosting via FTP. Normally, you don't have to create additional folders unless you want WordPress to be installed in a subfolder.
If you are not familiar with FTP, be sure to enter the // imaiko.com Read on Read this short FTP tutorial 。
Step 2: Start the installation
In your web browser, visit the web address where you installed WordPress. In most cases, this will be like //www. yourdomain.com 。
Step 3: Create a configuration file In this screen, you will see the next message:
Click the "Create Profile" button.
WordPress may not be able to create a configuration file. When you encounter this problem, please search wp-config-sample.php on your website. Just make a copy of wp-config-sample.php and rename it wp-config.php. Now try again.
Step 4: Welcome message
The next screen is a welcome message. It also reminds you of all the information you need from your virtual host.
Step 5: Fill in the database connection details
In the following screen, you need to fill in the database connection details:
The following fields must be filled in:
Database name: Database name User name: MySQL user name Password: MySQL password Database host: By default, this is the local host (only changed when your Web host has an annoter database server) Table prefix: By default, this is "wp_", but for security reasons, it is better to fill in another table prefix.
Click the "Submit" button to continue.
If you see this screen, your database connection details are good:
Click the "Install Now" button to start installing WordPress
Step 6: Fill in the basic information
In the following screen, you must fill in some basic information
Website Title: fill in the title of your blog or website. User name: select a user name. By default, "admin" is filled in, but for security reasons, I suggest you choose another user name. This makes it more difficult for hackers to guess your administrator user name. Password, twice: fill in the password. For security reasons, choose a strong password that is not easy to guess! Your email: fill in a valid email. Allow my website to appear in Google, Technorati and other search engines: select this option so that your website can be found and indexed by search engines.
After filling in the required information, click the "Install WordPress" button.
Step 7: Installation is complete
Simple!
Click the "Login" button to enter the background where you can manage WordPress.
Web host with pre installed WordPress version
As you can see, installing WordPress is very simple. However, some companies provide virtual hosts through WordPress one click installation. This makes installing WordPress easier!
Another option is hosting WordPress hosting. In this case, WordPress will be installed with the installation plug-in.
Update WordPress
When a new version of WordPress is available, you will see this message at the top of your page (only on the back end!).
Click the "Please update now" link, and then follow the steps below to update your website. If you need more information, please read my blog // imaiko.com An article on updating WordPress.
More information

If you have any questions or need help, please check the official WordPress forum: wordpress.org/support/
Understanding dashboards
front end
The front end is a part of the blog or website that your visitors can see.
back-end
The back end is the part where you can log in and manage your blog. This is the CMS (Content Management System) part. Here you can add, edit and delete content. This is also where your blog is fully configured.
Login (access back end)
You must be logged in to access the backend (you can manage parts of the blog).
You can use the //www. yourdomain.com/wp-login .php Sign in. Now you will see the following screen:
You must fill in your user name and password here. Click the "Login" button. After logging in, you will see the back end of the blog:
The first part is a welcome message to help you start with WordPress. To delete this message from the Information Center, click the "Close" link at the top right or the "Close this message" link at the bottom.
WordPress Settings
You can find general settings through Settings>General in the left menu. In this screen, you can configure the basic information of the website settings.
Website Title: Here you can fill in the title of your website/blog. Banner: Describe the content of your website/blog in a few words. WordPress address (web address): Here you can find the web address of your website/blog. Be careful when you change this! Website address: For regular installation, you can leave this field blank. E-mail address: This address is used for management purposes, such as new user notification. Membership: Can everyone register your website/blog? Default role of new users: What is the role of new users (if they can register)? Select "Subscriber" here. Users with more experience can also select another default role here. Time Zone: Select your time zone. Date Format: Select the date format. • Time Format: select a time format. Week Start: Select the first day of the week.
Authoring Settings
You can find the "Writing Settings" page through "Settings">"Writing" in the left menu
Currently, only one setting is important: the default article category. Here you can select the default article category. But first you need to create other categories (which will be covered later in this tutorial).
Reading settings
Select Settings>Reading in the left menu:
An interesting option here is "Home page display". Here, you can select the content displayed on the front page. If you want to use WordPress as a website, please select "Static Page" and select a page as your home page. Just like the home page, you can also select other article pages.
Don't forget that these pages must be existing, so you must create them before you can select them.
Discussion Settings
You can find the Discussion Settings page through Settings>Discussion in the left menu. On this page, you will retrieve settings for multiple options. Let's have a look!
This part is very important for bloggers. If you plan to use WordPress as CMS, this section is not very important.
Default article settings
Try to notify any blog linked to the article: If your published article contains links to other blogs, your blog will try to notify other blogs "tell" them that you are linked to them (and you have published the article). This will result in automatic comments on the blog (only if you select this option). Allow link notifications from other blogs: When other blogs link to you and notify you, they will send automatic comments. Uncheck this setting to not post these comments (I always uncheck these settings). Allow people to comment on new articles: give your visitors the possibility to write comments under your article.
Other comment settings
![WP theme customization: WordPress beginner's tutorial, wordpress function manual]()
The comment author must fill in his/her name and email address: when someone makes a comment, he/she must fill in his/her name and email address. Users must register and log in to post comments: If you select this option, readers must first log in to post comments. For most blogs, it is best not to check this option. Automatically close article comments older than XX days: When you select this option, your visitors will not be able to comment in XX days. If you select this option, be sure to leave enough time for your readers to comment. Just 14 days. On my blog, I have more than 6 months of topics, and many readers are still commenting! Enable thread (nested) annotation X level depth: Select this option to make it easier to read annotations on other annotations. So be sure to check this option. The default five levels should be sufficient. Comments are divided into pages. Each page has XX top-level comments, and the last page is displayed by default: if you have a very popular blog and many comments, this may be very interesting. This means that WordPress will split more than XX top comment articles in multiple pages. Comments should be displayed with older/newer comments at the top of the page: here, you can select the older/newer to choose how to sort comments. Please note that most blogs choose to display more recent comments at the top.
Email me anytime
Anyone posts a comment: When selected, you will receive an email when someone posts a new comment. Review Comments: If checked, you will receive an email when someone posts a new comment suitable for review.
I suggest you check these two, because if you have many articles. This is the easiest way to track (new) comments.
Before comments appear
Administrators must always approve comments: When someone posts a new comment, the administrator must always approve the comment. The comment author must obtain a previously approved comment: When someone posts the first comment, you must approve this comment. After that, the user's comments will be displayed without any criticism. Comment review: If the queue contains a certain number of links (defined by you), please leave a message in the queue. You also have a field where you can fill in words. Fill in one word per line. When the comment contains these words, it will be saved in the approval queue. Comment blacklist: words can be filled in this field. Fill in one word or ip for each line. When a comment contains these words, it will be marked as spam. Avatar: when you comment on a website that supports avatar, the avatar is an image that can appear in the weblog next to your name. Here, you can enable avatar display for people who comment on your website.
Media settings
You can find the media settings page through Settings>Media in the left menu. Here, you can configure some default settings for your uploaded media (especially pictures). For most of you, the basic settings are good.
Fixed link
You will find the Fixed Link Settings page through Settings>Fixed Links in the left menu. Here, you can select the URL of your blog or website.
I suggest you change this, because it is very important for search engine optimization (SEO).
WordPress out of the box generates the following web addresses:
//www. mysite.com/? p=123
If you open a permanent link, you can generate a web address like this:
//www. mysite.com/about-us/
As you can see, in the url of the second example, we can read the content of the page. This is also very important for search engines, because they also index page URLs. The words in the page URL are considered important, which is very useful for SEO.
Which one can be selected? The general rule is that if you are writing evergreen content, select the "Post name" option. Otherwise, it is better to select "Date and Name" or "Month and Name". For example, for my blog // WordPressNinja. Com , I chose "Month and Name".

Hyperlink
How do I insert a hyperlink?
Select the text you want to become a hyperlink, click "button" (insert/edit link) in the menu
The following pop-up window appears:
Fill in the full URL of the page (including "//") in the "URL" field. Enter a short description in the Title field. Select Open Link in New Window/Tab, and the page will open in the new window/tab. Click the "Add Link" button. If you want to link to an existing internal page (in your website or blog): click "or link to existing content". In the Search field, you can enter a part of the title of the article or page you want to find. Select an article or page in the list. If you really want the page/article to open in a new window or tab, please select "Open link in new window/tab", but if you link to an internal page, it is better not to do so. Click the "Add Link" button.
How do I edit a hyperlink?
Select the text for which you have created the hyperlink (you don't need to select the entire text, just click once). Click on the "button" in the menu (insert/edit link).
Make the changes you need. Click the "Update" button.
How do I delete a hyperlink?
Select the text for which you have created the hyperlink (you don't need to select the entire text, just click once). Click the – button (unlink).
Handling Media
Due to WordPress 3.5, the way to insert media (images, documents) has changed a lot. For new users, this is more logical. However, for existing users, this may be a bit confusing.
insert graphic images
How do I insert a picture?
Above the WYSIWYG editor, you will find a button to insert an image:
If you click this button, the following window will appear:
There are 3 ways to insert an image:
Uploading files: upload images from the computer, which is the default choice Insert from the web address: Use image media library on the Internet: Insert your uploaded images into the media library
Next, you can also choose to create an album, which I will discuss later in this guide.
It is best not to use the "From URL" option. With this option, you can use images from other places on the Internet. Imagine you select an image from another website and suddenly the image is deleted by the webmaster. Then, the picture will not be displayed on your website. Secondly, this is not because it is easy to use pictures from other websites. You also have the right to use it on your blog or website!
Insert image from computer: upload file
Click the "Upload File" button at the top (if necessary):
Select an image from your computer. After selecting an image, you will see an overview of the image (media) and select a new image:
Now, on the right side of the screen, fill in a short description in the "Title" field and the "Alternate Text" field:
The last option is attachment display settings:
Align: Select how you want to align the image. I leave it in advance (your text will be aligned next to the image) or centered (the text will start under the image).
Link to: What happens when visitors click on an image? Select "Custom URL" (link to URL), "Attachment Page" (images will be opened in your site), "Media File" (only images in the browser will be displayed) or "None" (no response).
Size: Select the size of the picture because it will appear in your article or page.
Tip: Resize the image! Because the larger the size of the uploaded image, the longer it takes to load the image! Even if you select a thumbnail here, the actual size of the image will be loaded. For example, if you upload an image of 500 pixels x 500 pixels, and then select "Thumbnail" (150 pixels x 150 pixels), visitors will see a small image, but the full image (500 pixels x 500 pixels) must be loaded. This will slow down your website, which is why it is important to adjust your pictures! You will learn how to do this in the next part of this chapter ("Editing Images").
• Click the "Insert Release" button to insert an image:
After the image is inserted, it will also be uploaded to the media library.
Insert your uploaded picture: Media Library
Insert images from the media library the same way you insert images from your computer. The only difference is that you must select Media Library:
If you have already inserted an image, it will be selected.
Now you will see the following screen, which contains an overview of all the pictures on your website:
Notice the Search box in the upper right corner. If you have hundreds of pictures, this is an important tool to quickly find the right picture.
Now select the image you want to insert. You can do this by clicking on the image.
Tip: You can even select multiple images by holding down the Ctrl or Shift button.
Before inserting an image, do not forget to fill in the "Title" field, the "Alternate Text" field and the attachment display settings on the right!
Edit Image
There are at least 3 ways to edit images.
Before uploading, use Photoshop or GIMP (Photoshop's free alternative software) and other software to edit images on the computer. Edit your image using the built-in editor in WordPress Edit the appearance of the image in the article or page.
I will not explain how to use ps to modify the picture, otherwise it will be off the topic. But the other two options can be done in WordPress, so let's see how to do this!
Edit your images with the built-in editor in WordPress
If you only need to resize or crop the image, you do not need additional software, such as Photoshop or GIMP. WordPress has a built-in editor to do this.
There are two ways to find the built-in editor:
After selecting an image to insert into the article or page, click the "Edit Image" link on the right: select an image in the Media Library (select "Media">"Media Library" in the left menu) (click the image to edit or click the "Edit" link next to the image), and then click the image under the "Edit Image" button:
It doesn't matter which option you choose, the following screen will appear:
There are two important parts here:
At the top, you'll find buttons to crop, rotate, and flip the image:
On the right, you will find a link to scale the image size. Click the "Zoom Image" link to edit the size of the image:
After editing the image, click the "Save" button below the image.
Note: If you come to this screen while inserting an image into a page or article, you must also 1) close the activity tab of the browser, and 2) click the Refresh link in the Insert Media screen. What you will see is:
Edit the appearance of pictures in articles or pages
Click the picture you inserted in the article or page. Two buttons appear, click the left button ("Edit Image"):
The following screen appears:
The most important options here are "Size", "Alignment", "Title" and "Alternative Text".
Remember that these changes do not affect the image itself, but only the way the image is displayed. Click the "Update" button to save the changes.
Delete Image
There are two options: you can delete pictures from articles or pages, or you can delete pictures from the entire website.
Delete an image from an article or page
• To remove an image from an article or page, simply click the image.
Two buttons will appear. Click the button on the right ("Delete Image"):
•
Remove pictures from your website
Tip: If you delete a picture, please make sure you do not use it in articles or pages!
Go to Media Library (select Media>Media Library from the left menu) and place the mouse cursor over the title of the image to be deleted. There are several links under the title apear. Click the "Permanently delete" link:
Create an album
Starting from version 3.5, you can also choose to insert an image library. All possibilities are very limited, because some would be good. Photo albums are easy. Let's have a look!
In the article or page, click the "Insert Media" button:
• Now, click "Upload File" to select an image on the computer or select "Media Library", and then select the image to use from the Media Library.
Click the "Create New Album" button in the lower right corner:
Now you will enter the "Edit Gallery" screen:
Here, you can change the order of the images (just drag and drop the images), and there are also some settings. The most important setting is the number of columns you want to use for the gallery. " The best choice for linking to is Attachment Page.
If you have forgotten the picture, please click the "Add to Gallery" link on the left side of this screen. Click the "Insert Library" button in the lower right corner.
Back to your article or page, you will see the following:
Edit or delete a gallery
To edit or delete a gallery, just click "Image" in the gallery on your article or page. At the top left, 2 icons will be displayed:
To edit the gallery, click the icon on the left. To delete a gallery from your article or page, click the icon on the right.
Files (pdf, doc, xls,...)
You can insert/edit/delete media like an image (Word document, Excel table, PDF,...). The inserted media also appears in the library.
Tip: If you insert a document, the best choice when you select Link to (under attachment display settings) is Media File.
When you insert a document, regular text links are inserted into your article or page. The only difference is that when a visitor clicks the link, the document opens.
page
In most cases, pages are used for static content/general information. For example, a "About" page.
When using WordPress as CMS, you mainly use web pages as content.
Only editors and administrators can add and edit pages.
Overview
Click "Page" in the left menu to get an overview of all pages:
Note: If you just start a new blog or website, only one sample page will be listed here!
How to add a new page
Select Page>Add New in the left menu. You will see the following screen:
Let's look at all the fields on this screen.
At the top of this screen, you can select a page title. You can always change it later.
If you do not use a custom menu, this title will also be used as a menu item in the menu. In this case, you must keep the title of the page short.
Under the page title, the permanent link (or URL) of the page will appear after the page is saved.
Add content
The section under the title is where you can insert content through the WYSIWYG editor:
To understand how the WYSIWYG editor works, please read the WYSIWYG editor at the beginning of this guide.
release
In this section, you can find options for saving, publishing, and deleting pages. Let's look at all the options:
Save Draft (button): Save your page without publishing it to the Internet.
Preview (button): Preview your page in the browser. Status: Select your page status, "Draft" or "Pending Approval". Visibility: select the visibility of your page: "public", "password protected" (visitors must fill in a password to view the content) or "private" (only visible to logged in visitors). Publish: Publish immediately or publish a new page after selecting a date. Move to Trash: Move your page to the Trash, but it can still be recovered from the Trash. Publish (button): Click the Publish button to save the page and publish it to the Internet.
Page Properties
In this section you will find some additional options. Let's look at the options available:
Parent: select the parent page of the current page. This is important when you don't define your own menu, or when you use the breadcrumb plugin.
Templates: Most themes contain multiple templates. This means that you can choose a (different) page layout for this page. The number of templates depends on the theme and theme. Here you can select the template of this page. Order: Fill in a number to order your page. If you do not define a custom menu, you must use this option. You can also use the PageMash plug-in
Instead of the Order option. With PageMash, you can drag and drop pages to change the order of the pages.
Selected pictures
With "Selected Pictures", you can upload a picture to be used with this page, depending on how it is defined in the theme. For example, many themes use this option, so you can easily select a title image or thumbnail for a specific page.
This is the same way you insert a regular image. Click the "Set Selected Pictures" button in the lower right corner to set selected pictures.
How to edit an existing page
There are two ways to edit a page: regular editing and quick editing.
Edit Page
Go to Page Overview (select "Page">"All Pages" in the left menu) and now you can get an overview of all existing pages. Place the cursor over the page title. Some options appear under this heading

Categories and Labels
Why should you use a postal category?
Imagine that you have a blog about dogs (this is just an example: -), and you have written more than 100 blog posts (articles). You may have written some blog posts about raising dogs, dog toys, dog food, etc. On your blog, all of these posts are arranged in order and distributed on several pages.
New visitors visit your website. He or she is looking for some information about dog toys, and find this interesting article on your blog! After your visitor finishes reading your blog, he or she wants to read more about dog toys on your blog. However, because your blog posts are not classified in any way, the visitor could not find other articles about dog toys within 10 seconds, so he or she left your blog without reading all your other blog posts about dog toys.
That's why you should use a postal category. In this example, the blog should have created a category of "dog toys". This makes it easier to browse blog posts by category. In most blogs, different categories are listed on the right side of the blog (using gadgets) or in the menu at the top of the blog. Visitors only need to click on a category and get a list of all blog posts under that category.
How to create a new category
Select Article>Category in the left menu. You will see the following screen:
You can add a new category in the left part of the screen, and you can see all existing categories in the right part. If you just installed WordPress, there is only one category: Unclassified.
To add a new category, complete the following fields:
Name: the name of your category, because it will appear on the screen Slug: the name used in the web address (optional, you do not have to fill in this name) Parent: If you want to create a subcategory, please select the parent category (optional) Description: fill in the description of the category (optional)
After filling in all the required fields, click the Add New Category button. Your new category will now appear on the right side of the screen. New categories are also available when adding or editing posts.
How to define default categories
If you do not select a category when adding a new article, the default category is selected. To select which category is your default category:
Select Settings>Write in the left menu to open the Write Settings screen. In Default Article Category, select the category you want to use as the default category (this must be an existing category).
Note that you cannot delete a category selected as the default category.
How to select a category?
When writing an article, you can select one or more categories on the right:
If you do not select a category, the default category is selected.
Article Label
Why should you use the post tag?
Unlike categories, labels are optional. Especially if you are a beginner, the label may be a bit confusing. But I will try my best to explain why and when tags can be used.
Let's go back to your imaginary dog blog. You have now created categories and selected a category for each post. But what should you do when you want to link articles of a brand product? For example, a company that manufactures dog food and dog toys? In this case, we can add the company name as a tag to our different articles so that they can be connected through different categories.
Or if you have written some articles about a certain dog, you can also add the breed as a label in the article. This will link all the articles you wrote about that category, no matter which category they belong to.
How to create a new label: Add a label through the label screen
Select Article>Label in the left menu. You will see the following screen:
On the left side of the screen, you can add a new tag, and on the right side, you can see all the existing tags.
To add a new label, complete the following fields:
Name: the name of the tag, because it will appear on the screen Slug: the name used in the web address (optional) Description: the description of filling in the tag (optional)
After filling in all required fields, click the "Add New Label" button. You are now a new tab, which will now appear on the right side of the screen.
How to create a new tag: Create a tag in an article
For code, it is easier to add tags when you are in an article. In the tag section of the article, fill in the name of the tag you want to add. If the label does not exist, it will be created.
Customize Menu
Out of the box, WordPress will automatically add a menu to your blog or website. This has the advantage that you don't have to do one thing to create a menu. The disadvantage is that it is inconvenient for users to order menu items or add categories or external links to the menu. Of course, some plug-ins can solve this problem, but it is easier to create custom menus.
How to create a custom menu
Select Appearance>Menu in the left menu. The following screen will appear:
Next, fill in the name of the new menu, and click the "Create Menu" button. The new menu will now appear on the right side of the screen:
Let's take a closer look:
Click the+tab to create a new menu. When you select the option "Automatically add new top-level pages", the newly added top-level pages will be automatically added to this menu. Click the link "Delete menu" to delete the menu. This is where the pages, categories and links you added will appear
How to attach your custom menu to your theme
Depending on your theme, your theme supports one or more custom menus. You can choose which menu to use at which location in the "Theme Location" section:
Select the menu you want to use and click the "Save" button.
Add custom links, pages, and categories to your menu
Add a custom link to your menu
You can add a custom link to your menu in the "Custom Link" section, fill in a URL, a menu label and click the "Add to Menu" button to add a link to your menu.
Add a page to your menu
You can add a page to the menu in the Page section:
Select the page you want to add to the menu, and then click Add to Menu.
Note that if the page you want to add exists and is not listed in the Latest tab, try the View All or Search tab.
Add category to your menu
You can add a category to the menu in the Category section, select the category/category to add to the menu, and then click Add to Menu.
Note that if the category you want to add exists and is not listed in the Latest tab, try the View All or Search tab.
How do I change the order of menu items?
You can easily change the order of menu items:
Hover over the menu item and drag it to the correct location.
How do I create a submenu?
You can also set the menu item as a child item in the menu: just drag the menu item slightly to the right under the parent page:
Look at the results!
How to delete a menu item?
In the Menu screen, click the arrow to the right of the menu item, and then click the Delete link:
Don't forget to click the "Save" button at the bottom of the screen!
user management
WordPress out of the box includes basic user management. You can create different accounts for different users. Since not every user needs the same permissions, there are five different roles.
5 different roles in WordPress
Administrator: The administrator role has the right to complete anything. Edit: The editor has the right to create and edit articles and pages, and can also edit articles from other users. Edit does not have administrative rights. Authors: Authors can write and publish articles. Contributors: Contributors can write articles, but cannot publish them. Subscribers: basic members of the WordPress blog. Has the same rights as the guest, but does not need to login again to respond to the article.
How to add a new user
Select Users>Add New in the left menu. You will see the following screen:
In this screen, you must fill in the following fields:
User name (required): new user's user name Email (required): new user's email address First name: user's first name Last name: user's last name Website: here you can fill in the user's website URL Password (twice, required): select a strong password for the new user Send password: Do you want to send the password to the user? (I always uncheck this option) Role: Select a role for the new user
After filling in all the fields, click Add New User to create a new user.
Tip: Create at least 2 user accounts
For security reasons, it is best to create at least 2 user accounts:
1 administrator: used to install and configure WordPress, users, themes, plug-ins...... 1 editor: used to create and edit content
For security reasons, do not use "admin" or "administrator" as the account name. If it is created by default, a new administrator user will be created and the original user will be deleted. This is because hackers want to crack your blog, first try to use "administrator" or "administrator" intrusion.
How to extend basic user management?
For most of us, the basic user management provided by WordPress will be perfect. However, if you need to extend the existing role, or you want to create a new role, you can install User Access Manager plug-in unit.
WordPress Theme
In WordPress, content has nothing to do with design. You can switch from the theme without touching the content. So if you want a new design, but you want to keep your content, you just need to install a new theme!
There are many choices!
One of the biggest advantages of WordPress is that there are many layout options to choose from. There are free themes, business themes, frameworks, or you can even create your own theme from scratch!
Free theme
You can find many free topics on the Internet. In many cases, Free theme It is very suitable for finding WordPress or having a tight budget. But don't worry, many of these themes come from high quality.
Start Search Free theme The best source of The most popular free WordPress theme list 。
Tips: Free theme It can also be a good start for creating your own theme.
Business theme
Business themes are often named "Advanced Themes". In general, business themes provide more possibilities and better support.
There are also several options.
If you just want a very professional out of the box solution, you should look at Themeforest and WooThemes. I have used themes from both and also for my client's website, just because it is very simple and cheap. You just need to choose a theme you like, and then there are still many options to personalize the theme. From these two, I prefer Themeforest,
Because there are so many topics to choose from! Prices vary, but most themes cost between $45 and $55.
Another option is the WordPress framework. This option is useful for developers who want to create their own (sub) themes on top of the framework. Two of the most popular frameworks are Genesis and Thesis. StudioPress (the founder of Genesis) also sells box sub themes for their Genesis framework. This means that you have the power to combine his framework with the themes to be used.
Create your own theme (encoding/slicing)
Coding your own theme is the most flexible way to create a theme. Creating your own theme with WordPress is easier than you think. The only drawback is that it only takes more time.
If you are interested in writing your own theme, you can consider using WordPress frameworks like Genesis.
This will make it easier to create secure and powerful themes.
Another widely used technique is slicing. In this case, you can design your theme in Photoshop and send it to the slicing company (if you are good at creating your own WordPress Theme , you can also do this yourself). Slicing company will develop Photoshop designed WordPress Theme 。

This is usually the left or right (where the menu is located) column on the page or the space at the bottom of the blog or website. The amount of space for placing widgets is limited, depending on the theme used.
example
Some examples will illustrate the potential of widgets. There are widgets that can:

How do I activate a widget?
Select Appearance>Widgets in the left menu to drag the widget from the central screen to the widget space on the right:
plug-in unit
In my opinion, plug-ins are the real power of WordPress!
Plug ins are small "programs" that allow you to extend the functionality of a basic WordPress installation. Most plug-ins can be downloaded and installed for free.
Today, thousands of plug-ins are available. So if you want to extend your blog or website with a certain function, you may decide that it may be a plug-in.
Found a plug-in
Free plug-ins
The search for free plug-ins can be completed through WordPress's own website. A good indicator of good plug-ins is popularity. Therefore, it is a good idea to explore the most popular plug-in list: // wordpress.org/extend/pl ugins/browse/popular/
You can also use the search box: http: //wordpress.org/extend/plugins/
Commercial plug-in
In addition to free plug-ins, there are commercial plug-ins. // Codecanyon.net It is a good place to look for commercial plug-ins. You can find several developers' scripts on this website, but it is also easy to use WordPress plug-ins!
How do I install plug-ins?
Search and install plug-ins through the back end
You can install most plug-ins through the WordPress dashboard:
Select "Plug in">"Add New" in the left menu (1) at the top of this page, click the "Search" link (2) In the search box, fill in the plug-in name (part), and then click the "Search plug-in" button (3) You will receive a list of search results: Once you find the plug-in you want to find in the search results list, click the "Install Now" link. You will get a pop-up confirmation. Click the "OK" button.
After the plug-in is successfully installed, click the "Activate Plug in" link. Don't forget it
Configure plug-ins.
Upload and install plug-ins through the backend
Some plug-ins can only be downloaded from the author's website to your computer. In most cases, these are commercial plug-ins. Fortunately, WordPress has a built-in function to upload and install downloaded plug-ins.
Select Plug in>Add New in the left menu. Click the "Upload" link:
• Select a ZIP file on your computer, and then click the Install button.
After the plug-in is successfully installed, click the Activate Now link.
Don't forget to configure plug-ins.
How to configure plug-ins
Before we use plug-ins, you must first configure them. This means that some settings still need to be configured. It depends on from plug-in to plug-in: some plug-ins have only a few settings, while others have more settings.
My favorite plugin
After four years of WordPress work, I tried and used several plug-ins. This is the WordPress plug-in I choose to use now. For this option, I only use plug-ins that are well supported. Free plug-ins are great, but sometimes they stop supporting after a period of time, because the author just doesn't have time to update plug-ins.
Akismet
Akismet It is one of the best (and perhaps the best) ways to protect your blog from spam attacks. This plug-in is produced by WordPress, the company behind Automatic. You must subscribe to this service, but it is free for non-commercial use. The pricing of commercial users is very reasonable.
Jetpack's
Using Jetpack (this plug-in is also from WordPress, the company's behavior), you can use it on your hosted WordPress blog // WordPress.com Some of the biggest features of. This plug-in combines several functions. You don't need to use them all, just choose one you need. Except VaultPress, most of them are free.
Google Analyticator
With Google Analyticator, you can easily integrate Google Analytics into your WordPress blog. There are many plug-ins that can do this, but this is one of the best, and it stays well.
Yoast's WordPress SEO
There are many (good!) free SEO plug-ins to enhance your blog's SEO. But Yoast's WordPress SEO is my favorite, because it is very complete. I have used the combination of All In One SEO Pack and Google XML site map ， But Yoast's WordPress SEO has all these functions in one plug-in (or even more), and in my opinion, it is more user-friendly.
Better WP security
In my opinion, Better WP Security is a must have plug-in. This free (!) plug-in can protect your WordPress blog or website in seconds.
WP Super Cache + WP Minify
Installing cache plug-ins is an easy way to speed up a blog or website. There are several cache plug-ins, but the combination of WP Hypercache+WP Minify is a very simple option with excellent results. These plug-ins are free, so you should not hesitate to install them.
WP Smush.it
When uploading pictures to WordPress, there is still some space to optimize pictures most of the time. WP Smush.it reduces file size for better performance. All with just a few clicks
WPML (Commercial)
If you need to translate your blog or website, WPML is the best plug-in. usage
Very simple. This plug-in supports many topics. The price is quite cheap, because this plug-in will save you a lot of time.
More information about WPML.
Contact Form 7
If you need to use a form to expand your blog or website, I strongly recommend that you use the Contact Form 7. With this plug-in, you can easily create multiple forms for your blog.
Gravity Form (Commercial)
In my opinion, Gravity Forms is the best plug-in for creating forms for your WordPress blog or website. For my work, I always create forms (using php/jQuery/Javascript). But when working with WordPress projects, I only use Gravity Forms. The process of creating an extension form is very simple. The only "disadvantage" is that the plug-in is not free. But trust me, this plug-in is really worth the price!
NextGEN album
There are several great plug-ins (even a built-in WordPress), but the NextGEN Gallery is one of the oldest plug-ins and is very complete. After configuration, you can easily add and manage multiple galleries.
How to configure WordPress as CMS
Today, WordPress is also often used as a CMS (content management system). Why? Because it is very simple to set up and update content.
What is CMS?
The content management system is a website with a back end, in which you can add, update and delete website content. Just like WordPress.
Although WordPress was once a blog platform, more and more web designers are turning to WordPress because it is very flexible. This is why WordPress developers can easily configure it as CMS.
Why should you use WordPress as CMS?
Using WordPress as CMS has the same advantages as using WordPress as a blog:
Installation and configuration are very simple WordPress is open source software (so it is free to use) Google likes WordPress (this is very important!) Creating and updating content is very simple, you do not need any technical knowledge Very flexible: there are thousands of plug-ins and themes developers can easily change/add code
Configure WordPress as CMS
It is very simple to configure WordPress as CMS. In fact, only 1 (!) step is required.
The biggest difference between a blog and a website (CMS) is that the website has a static home page, and the blog has listed the latest blog posts *. So all you have to do is set a page as the home page and change the discussion settings.
*I would like to add a marginal note to this: the difference between blog and CMS is disappearing more and more. Let me explain: today, many websites are adding a blog page to their websites, because it is very useful to attract new visitors (and customers!) through search engines. On the other hand, blogs are becoming more and more professional, so some of them are adding a static home page that contains information about blogs/blogs. Of course, you can also find a list of the latest blog posts on the home page.
Set the page as the first page
First, create a page you want to use as the home page. Open the "Reading Settings" screen (select "Settings">"Reading" in the left menu), select "Static Page" under "Home Page Display", and then select the page as the home page and the page as the publishing page:
• Click "Save Changes"
Change discussion settings
Because we are building a website, not every page needs the possibility of our visitors leaving comments. This is why I recommend disabling the discussion settings for the entire website. After that, you can enable comments on specific pages or articles at any time.
How to do his:
Enter "Settings">"Discussion" in the menu on the left to deselect "Allow users to comment on new articles":
If you want to change the discussion settings of each page or article, please follow the steps below:
Click "Article" or "Page" in the left menu. Now you will see an overview of the article or page. Place the cursor on the title of the article or page, and several options will appear under the title. Click "Quick Edit" to select or deselect the "Allow Comments" option and click the "Update" button
Install the "White Label CMS" plug-in
If you create a website for your customers, you will know that the basic WordPress dashboard is too complex for your customers. Using the white label CMS plug-in, you can select the menu options that the customer will see. You can also include your own messages in the dashboard screen. Other features can include their own logos (in the login screen, in the dashboard).
WordPress Security
I know that "security" sounds complicated. When I first started using WordPress, I thought the same way. In fact, protecting WordPress is not difficult.
The following tips do not guarantee 100% security of your WordPress installation. However, you will make it more difficult for hackers to crack your website. This is enough for us. Most hackers will not try to break through a secure website because there are enough websites that are unsafe. To better understand this, you must know that most hackers steal money. In most cases, they only want to attack a "site" to take over control of the server or computer. If you can control a large number of servers and computers, then you have the ability. This is the product they sell, which can control thousands of computers/servers.
To put it simply: if it is too difficult to attack your website, they will only pass by and try the next website, because it is not worth trying for a long time.
Basic security principles of WordPress
WordPress security involves many things: it's about choosing the right user name, powerful passwords, updating WordPress and all plug-ins to their latest versions. These things are not difficult to do, but they will help a lot!
Select the correct administrator user name
During installation, you must select a user name for the administrator account of your website or blog. It is important that you do not choose a user name that is easy to guess, such as "admin" or "administrator". Because this is one of the first things hackers try!
Create a second user to update content
This is a mistake many bloggers make, they blog with their admin users. Don't do that! Use the Edit user. If hackers retrieve the passwords of the users you use for your blog, they can log in as editors and change/delete content, but they cannot change/delete your blog or website.
Choose a strong password
Do not choose a simple password, but use a strong password that contains the following:
Lower case letters Upper case letters Number special characters Do not select a short password
Change Table Prefix
During installation, WordPress allows you to choose to change the prefix of database tables. By default, this is "WP_". By doing so, you will make it difficult for hackers to guess your table name.
Update WordPress and all its plug-ins to the latest version
This simple step is also a very important step. When the new version of WordPress is released, it not only adds new functions, but also solves the security problems of errors and patches. That's why it's important to always have the latest version of WordPress. The same is true for plug-ins.
Improve WordPress security to another level with some plug-ins
You have learned that you can add additional features to your WordPress blog or website by installing plug-ins. In addition, for security reasons, there are several plug-ins that can be installed. The two plug-ins I want to show you are Akismet and Better WP Security.
Akismet
Akismet will protect your blog from spam comments.
Once your blog becomes popular, you will also receive more spam comments in your blog posts. In fact, most blog comments are spam! Since it takes a long time to delete all these garbage comments, I recommend that you install and configure Akismet.
After installation and configuration, Akismet will protect your blog from spam comments. Autamatically！
Better WP security
Better WP security is a plug-in that can enhance the protection of your blog. This is a plug-in with many enhancements. Let's take a look at the most important functions of Better WP Security:
Database backup restricts login attempts to block blacklists users and servers
Protect WordPress like a professional
For most users, the above (free) solution is enough. However, if you run a professional blog, you can also consider the following paid services.
VaultPress
VaultPress was produced by the people behind WordPress, Automatic. VaultPress is a subscription based WordPress website security and backup service. VaultPress is not cheap (starting at $15 per month), but they are one of the best backup services.
For more information, please visit // vaultpress.com 。
Sucuri
Sucuri is a web service with three core services:
Monitoring alert deletion
This means they focus on hackers and malware. The WordPress plug-in also includes a Web application firewall! Sucuri is also applicable to other platforms (Drupal, Joomla,...).
The pricing is reasonable: the cost of protecting one site is $89.99 per year.
WPEngine
WPEngine provides hosting WordPress hosting. This means that they will pre install WordPress and a series of plug-ins, and update WordPress and these plug-ins when needed. This allows you to always have the latest version without having to do it yourself.
But that's not all. The WPEngine is also responsible for the security of your blog. They manage backups, have a web application firewall, and they scan your website for malware.
The price starts from $29, which may seem very high for the initial blog, but you will also get a lot: fast hosting, backup, malware scanning, firewall and first-class support! If you take all this into account, the pricing of WP Engines is very reasonable!
