One is in the toolbar with a number, and the other is in the dashboard menu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you hover over the toolbar number, you\u2019ll see a description showing how many plugins, themes, or if WordPress core needs updating. If you see an orange number in the left menu, it also lets you know that WordPress needs updating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Important!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before performing WordPress updates, you should always have a reliable backup in place. Updating any of these 3 components can cause your site to crash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress has improved signi\ufb01cantly on detecting whether or not a plugin or theme update will \u201cbreak\u201d your site, but it is still wise to have a backup and a restore procedure in place. If you don\u2019t feel comfortable doing it, speak to a WordPress expert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do you need a staging site?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your webhost offers it, you might want to look into a \u201cstaging site\u201d. A staging site is an exact copy of your site that is hidden from the \u201coutside world\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This site can be used to test WordPress core, plugin, and theme updates without causing harm to your live site. Once you have had a successful update on staging, you can more con\ufb01dently update your \u201clive\u201d site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"-the-3-types-of-wordpress-updates-\"><strong>THE 3 TYPES OF WORDPRESS UPDATES<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"756\" height=\"257\" src=\"https:\/\/wptutoring.byriverstechapp.com\/wordpress-tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/06\/WordPress-core-1.jpg\" alt=\"WordPress updates screen\" class=\"wp-image-61961\" title=\"WordPress-core\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wptutoring.byriverstechapp.com\/wordpress-tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/06\/WordPress-core-1.jpg 756w, https:\/\/wptutoring.byriverstechapp.com\/wordpress-tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/06\/WordPress-core-1-480x163.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 756px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"-wordpress-core-\"><strong>WordPress Core<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of WordPress Core Updates like updating the operating system on your computer, (Microsoft Windows or OSX for example).

For example, the website might be www.mysite.com, but the WordPress core \ufb01les may be located at www.mysite.com\/wp \u2013 This is perfectly \ufb01ne, and in some cases enhances security, because hackers won\u2019t necessarily know which directory WordPress is installed in.

Widget areas are quick ways to add content to your website in certain areas without having to code,( or hire a coder).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an example, you may need to add a search bar to your site, so that people can easily search your site\u2019s articles. You can easily drag a search box from the available widgets to the widget area in order to allow the search bar to show up. The second way to do it is to click on \u201csearch\u201d in the available widgets column and then choose which widget area you want the search bar to show up in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Default WordPress Widgets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are examples of the Default WordPress Widgets.

Essentially Block Patterns are combinations of different blocks that are set in a pre- arranged pattern for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That makes things extremely easy for you because you can leverage someone else&#8217;s expertise to build your web- page. All you need to do is click on the associated block and change to content to whatever you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is extremely powerful because you can add sections, pages, or even whole websites with a couple of clicks. To use block patterns first, go to the post or page block editor screen and click the block selector icon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wpmanuals.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-02-at-11.00.18-PM-1024x630.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-392\"\/><figcaption>Opening the block menu and choosing <strong>&#8220;Patterns&#8221;<\/strong> will display a menu of pre-configured block patterns.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/wpmanuals.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-02-at-11.06.04-PM-1024x518.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-394\"\/><figcaption>Clicking on the &#8220;explore&#8221; button will display a popup modal with pattern categories and the associated patterns.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wpmanuals.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-02-at-11.02.43-PM-1024x506.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-393\"\/><figcaption>Clicking on one of the block patterns instantly places that pattern in the content area.

For example- \u201cAbout us\u201d and \u201cContact us\u201d are generally created as pages. The monthly newsletter, however, is generally done as a post, because the information changes on a regular basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pages are generally for \u201cstatic\u201d content.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you think of a Page in WordPress think of the following types of pages \u2013 \u201cAbout Us\u201d , \u201cContact Us\u201d , \u201cEmployee Directory\u201d etc. Pages are what allow WordPress to be more than just a blogging platform, and allow it to be able to create full blown websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pages are edited the same way posts are.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can create a post in WordPress, you can create a page. There are only a handful of different metaboxes, but the method to add text and media, or to publish it publically or privately are the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Examples of when you would use a page verus a post.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About Us, Contact Us, Events Pages<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you want to create private content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/wptutoring.byriverstechapp.com\/wordpress-tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/06\/pages-menu2.jpg\" alt=\"All Pages View WordPress\" class=\"wp-image-62102\" title=\"pages-menu2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wptutoring.byriverstechapp.com\/wordpress-tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/06\/pages-menu2.jpg 960w, https:\/\/wptutoring.byriverstechapp.com\/wordpress-tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/06\/pages-menu2-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 960px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>All Pages shows a listing of your pages the same way all posts is listed.

This also provides continuity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Page Attributes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Parent<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pages in WordPress can be heirarchal. In other words, you can make pages into a main page or parent, and sub pages which relate to the main page in some way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An example could be a page about the United States would be a parent page, and the sub pages or child pages would be the individual states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is really a great way to keep your pages organized and provide a good SEO structure for your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Template<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress Themes can have different page templates that create alternate layouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A common example of this is Default Template layouts, which generally have sidebars and Fullwidth layouts which have no sidebars at all.

WordPress has a very robust user login system with different user levels and permissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Default, WordPress Users are able to Login to your site<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress users have at minimum a username, email address, and password to log into your website. As we\u2019ll see, they can also have other information such as a website, avatar, and other associated items with their Pro\ufb01le.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Users Have Roles<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By Default in WordPress Users can have one of 5 different roles. Each role is given a certain levels of permissions in order to perform certain things on your website. The lowest level can just read content, while the highest level can change everything on your site up to deleting it altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Multiple users can have the same role<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, if you are running a news-style site, you can have one editor and 5 contributor users. The contributors would write and submit articles, while the editor would be able to edit all of the contributor\u2019s posts as well as delete them. The contributors would only have the ability to submit and edit their own posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Administrator<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>An administrator is able to edit every part of a WordPress site. They can change themes, plugins, and edit code. Additionally, they can create, update and edit posts. Administrators can also add and delete users. You should have as few users with administration permissions as possible for security reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Author<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>An author can create, edit, and delete their own posts. They can also upload \ufb01les.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Subscriber<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A subscriber can read posts but have no ability to create or edit posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Editor<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>An editor can create, edit, and delete their own AND other\u2019s posts. Additionally, they can upload \ufb01les.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Contributor<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Contributors can create, and edit their own posts, they cannot, however, publish their own posts. They also cannot upload to the site either. They need someone of the editor level to publish their posts for them. This level is good for those who will guest post on your blog, but you want to have someone else publish it to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"copyright wp-block-heading\">WordPress Tutorial for Beginners by WP-Tutoring.Com &#8211; Copyright 2021<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"plugins\">WORDPRESS PLUGINS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"plugins-are-part-of-what-make-wordpress-great-\u2013-let\u2019s-learn-how-to-use-them\">Plugins are part of what make WordPress Great \u2013 Let\u2019s learn how to use them<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"176\" height=\"137\" src=\"https:\/\/wptutoring.byriverstechapp.com\/wordpress-tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/06\/plugins-menu.jpg\" alt=\"WordPress plugin menu\" class=\"wp-image-62108\" title=\"plugins-menu\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wordpress-plugins\">WordPress Plugins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress Plugins are like \u201capps\u201d for your WordPress site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WordPress Plugins extend your website\u2019s functionality<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress by default doesn\u2019t come with certain functionality such as google maps, or calendars.

The bar has links to various areas of the WordPress Dashboard and front end of the site.  <a href=\"#admin-bar\">You can view an image of the admin bar here<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>Administrator<\/strong> &#8211; The highest user role within a standard WordPress site.  The administrator has access to all of the WordPress settings and code.  Generally, you should only give administrators level access to those who need full control of the site.<\/li><li><strong>Audio Block<\/strong> &#8211; This block will embed an audio player into your content.  This is perfect for placing podcast episodes, or music files into your page.<\/li><li><strong>Author<\/strong>&#8211; A WordPress Author can create, edit, and Publish their own posts.  They cannot edit or publish other&#8217;s posts.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>B<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Block Editor<\/strong> &#8211; Also known as the WordPress Editor, this feature was introduced in WordPress 5.0.  It replaced the Classic Editor which was loosely based on a Microsoft Word inspired interface with a new editing system based on blocks in which every component is considered a block such as paragraphs, images, and video.  Blocks can be re-arranged within your document and combined to create complex layouts.<\/li><li><strong>Block Menu<\/strong> &#8211; The block menu is a block editor feature that displays all of the available blocks, block patterns, and reusable blocks in one scrollable menu.  It is accessed by clicking on the blue plus icon in the upper left hand side of the block editor screen.<\/li><li><strong>Blog<\/strong> &#8211; A blog is a collection of WordPress posts, that can be categorized or uncategorized.   They are usually listed in reverse-chronological order meaning the most recent blog post is at the top and older blog posts are listed beneath.  <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>C<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Category<\/strong> &#8211; A WordPress category is essentially a way to group various posts on a site.  For example if you have a recipe blog, your categories may be entrees, desserts, and sides.  Categories are also hierarchal, which means you can make them parent and child terms, (or categories and sub-categories).  For example underneath entrees, you might have poultry, fish, and beef.  Then under poultry you might have chicken, turkey, and hen.<\/li><li><strong>Classic Editor<\/strong> &#8211; The classic editor is a pre-WordPress 5.0 way of creating content on your WordPress site.  It uses an editing window with Microsoft office-style icons in order to interact with the content.  It has since been replaced by the WordPress, (Block) Editor.<\/li><li><strong>Comments<\/strong> &#8211; Comments are responses to WordPress blog posts.  Comments can be enabled and allow your site users to interact with your content.  In the case that you don&#8217;t want comments enabled, you can install the disable comments plugin to disable them site-wide.<\/li><li><strong>Contributor<\/strong> &#8211; A WordPress contributor can write and edit their own posts, but they cannot publish their own posts.  Someone with an editor level or higher must publish their content for them.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>D<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Dashboard<\/strong> &#8211; The <a href=\"#dashboard\">WordPress Dashboard<\/a> is the place where you can configure your site, add content, and update themes, plugins, and core.  You can access the dashboard by typing in your url followed by <strong>\/wp-admin<\/strong>.  For example,  <strong>https:\/\/mysite.com\/wp-admin<\/strong>.<\/li><li><strong>Database<\/strong> &#8211; WordPress uses a database in order to store information and configuration options for your site.  The database along with the file structure is what makes your website work.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>E<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Editor<\/strong> &#8211; A WordPress editor has the second-highest level of access on a WordPress site.  In essence, an editor can do essentially everything except modify code and add themes and\/or plugins.  This should be someone who can update their own posts and pages and also the posts and pages of other users on the site.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>F<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Featured Image<\/strong> &#8211; A featured image is an image that is added to a WordPress post and generally represents what the post is about.  Depending on the theme or the page configuration, the featured image may show up in various places in the post.  Also the featured image is used as a thumbnail picture for various social media sites whenever a post is shared.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>H<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Heading Block<\/strong> &#8211; The Heading block is meant to highlight important sections of your post or page, (think about an outline that&#8217;s divided into different topical headings).  The heading sizes of H1-H6 correspond to the HTML versions of the heading tags.  Heading blocks allow for better readability as well as better separation of content for search engines.<\/li><li><strong>Hosting<\/strong> &#8211; In order for WordPress code to run, it needs a web server(computer specially purposed for working with the web), to run on.  A web host &#8220;rents&#8221; space on these servers for either a monthly or yearly fee.  Two webhosts we recommend are <a href=\"https:\/\/afsspokane-fisheriescommunity.pantheonsite.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Flywheel<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/shareasale.com\/r.cfm?b=1730563&amp;u=961333&amp;m=41388&amp;urllink=&amp;afftrack=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">WP Engine<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>M<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Multisite<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/article\/create-a-network\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">WordPress Multisite<\/a> is an installation of WordPress that allows for multiple instances of WordPress to run while sharing the same database and core code.  Multisite can be done in a subdomain style, (ex.  subdomain.mysite.com) or subfolder style (mysite.com\/subfolder).  <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>P<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Paragraph Block<\/strong> &#8211; The paragraph block is the main block that you&#8217;ll be using for adding text to your WordPress post or Page when using the Block Editor,(Gutenberg).<\/li><li><strong>Password Protected<\/strong>&#8211; A password protected post is one that you have to enter a password to view the post or page content.  An administrator or editor can set a password on the post.<\/li><li><strong>Permalink<\/strong> &#8211; The Permanent Link of an article or page in WordPress.  It is meant to be unchanged for a long time.  This link is what most think about when talking about a url.  For instance,  <a href=\"https:\/\/wptutoring.byriverstechapp.com\/wordpress-tutorial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/wptutoring.byriverstechapp.com\/<strong>wordpress-tutorial<\/strong><\/a><\/li><li><strong>PHP<\/strong>&#8211; Hypertext Preprocessor.  This is a server side programming language on which much of WordPress is written.  Depending on your hosting provider, you might see a notice in your WordPress Dashboard stating that you need to update your version of PHP.  It is essential that you upgrade the version in order to keep your WordPress site performing properly.<\/li><li><strong>Plugin <\/strong>&#8211; Think of WordPress plugins as &#8220;apps&#8221; that you can add to your WordPress site in order to extend its functionality.  In reality, they are miniature programs written in php and javascript.  There are over 50,000 free plugins in the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">WordPress Repository<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>Post Status<\/strong>&#8211; A WordPress post or page can have one of 3 default post status&#8217;.  A post or page can either be Draft, Published, or Private.  This goes hand in hand with Post Visibility.  Post visibility also adds password protected.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Query Loop Block<\/strong> &#8211; The query loop block is a block that allows you to display a list of content on your site.  The query block essentially &#8220;queries&#8221;, or asks the WordPress database for a list of items based on the criteria that you set.  For instance, you can configure the query block to display the latest 5 posts in the &#8220;recipes&#8221; category.  You can also configure the block to display the featured image, author, title, and the like.  It can also display the information in a &#8220;grid&#8221; or in a &#8220;list&#8221; format.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>S<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Shortcode <\/strong>&#8211; A special code that you can use in WordPress to insert a pre-determined value.  Shortcodes have brackets with content in between them such as [form].  WordPress processes the value and displays whatever the shortcode is supposed to display.  Many plugins use shortcodes to display things such as forms, cart pages, lessons, etc&#8230;<\/li><li><strong>Subscriber<\/strong> &#8211; A subscriber has the lowest level of access on a WordPress site.  Essentially, they can only log in and view content.  They are able to comment on blog posts, but not able to create posts or pages, or manage other&#8217;s posts and pages.<\/li><li><strong>Super Admin <\/strong>&#8211; A super admin is a special access level for WordPress Multisite.  A super admin has access to all of the WordPress functions, and code, as well as access to all sub-sites on that network.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>T<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Tag<\/strong> &#8211; A tag is essentially a keyword that describes the content of a post or page.  Unlike categories, tags aren&#8217;t hierarchal,  meaning that you can&#8217;t have tags and sub-tags, in the same way that you can have categories and sub-categories.  In general, use tags to describe your content when you don&#8217;t have something that is important enough to turn into a category. <\/li><li><strong>Theme<\/strong> &#8211; A WordPress theme is a set of files that are uploaded to WordPress that control the look and feel of your website.  Themes have a widely varying group of capabilities and looks.  You can choose a theme based on functionality, purpose of your site, or a &#8220;general purpose&#8221; theme that can be used for multiple types of websites.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>U<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>User Roles<\/strong> &#8211; There are five default user roles in WordPress, Administrator, Editor, Author, Contributor, Subscriber.  In the case of a multisite there is a Super Admin section.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>W<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Widget<\/strong> &#8211; A <a href=\"#widgets\">widget<\/a> is pre defined code that can be placed into a &#8220;widget area&#8221;.  WordPress has pre-defined widgets that you can use, such as: recent posts, recent comments, and categories.  Widgets can also be added to your website when various plugins are installed.  For instance, WooCommerce adds widgets to your site.  With WordPress 5.0+, there is a move to <a href=\"#block-widgets\">Widget Blocks<\/a>, in which any block can be added to a widget area.<\/li><li><strong>Widget Area<\/strong> &#8211; A widget area is an area on a page where you can place pre-defined widgets, or widget blocks, onto a page.  The best way to think about this concept is the sidebar of a blog post.  Many times there are advertisements, links, etc, that are placed in the sidebar.  In this case, the sidebar is a &#8220;widget area&#8221;.  Widgets or widget blocks can be added, removed, and relocated within the widget area. <\/li><li><a href=\"#block-widgets\">Widget Block<\/a> &#8211; A widget block is a pre-defined block in WordPress that you can place within a widget area.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faq\">WordPress Tutorial Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq uagb-faq__outer-wrap uagb-block-450f366e uagb-faq-icon-row uagb-faq-layout-accordion uagb-faq-expand-first-false uagb-faq-inactive-other-true uagb-faq-equal-height\" data-faqtoggle=\"true\" role=\"tablist\"><div class=\"uagb-faq__wrap uagb-buttons-layout-wrap\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq-child uagb-faq-child__outer-wrap uagb-block-e49037e9\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-child__wrapper\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-item\" role=\"tab\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-questions-button uagb-faq-questions\"><span class=\"uagb-icon uagb-faq-icon-wrap\"><\/span><span class=\"uagb-icon-active uagb-faq-icon-wrap\"><\/span><span class=\"uagb-question\">What is WordPress?<\/span><\/div><div class=\"uagb-faq-content\"><span><p>WordPress is a Content Management System that was created in 2003.  WordPress originally started as a blogging platform that was only suitable for creating blogs.  As it evolved, the ability to create pages made it suitable for website creation.  One of the reasons that WordPress has been popular is the fact that it is free to install on a variety of webhosts, it has a community of developers and contributors that are constantly looking to improve the software, and its overall flexibility.  WordPress has an advantage over many other platforms in that it can be installed on practically any relatively recent Linux web hosting.  Many large institutions and individuals have decided to use WordPress, such as whitehouse.gov, nasa&#8217;s blog, and a plethora of universities and institutions.<\/p><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq-child uagb-faq-child__outer-wrap uagb-block-0bd5fd8c\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-child__wrapper\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-item\" role=\"tab\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-questions-button uagb-faq-questions\"><span class=\"uagb-icon uagb-faq-icon-wrap\"><\/span><span class=\"uagb-icon-active uagb-faq-icon-wrap\"><\/span><span class=\"uagb-question\">Is WordPress Easy for Beginners?<\/span><\/div><div class=\"uagb-faq-content\"><span><p>WordPress is relatively easy for beginners to use, but there is a learning curve.

The bar has links to various areas of the WordPress Dashboard and front end of the site.  <a href=\"#admin-bar\">You can view an image of the admin bar here<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>Administrator<\/strong> - The highest user role within a standard WordPress site.  The administrator has access to all of the WordPress settings and code.  Generally, you should only give administrators level access to those who need full control of the site.<\/li><li><strong>Audio Block<\/strong> - This block will embed an audio player into your content.  This is perfect for placing podcast episodes, or music files into your page.<\/li><li><strong>Author<\/strong>- A WordPress Author can create, edit, and Publish their own posts.  They cannot edit or publish other's posts.<\/li><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>B<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li><strong>Block Editor<\/strong> - Also known as the WordPress Editor, this feature was introduced in WordPress 5.0.  It replaced the Classic Editor which was loosely based on a Microsoft Word inspired interface with a new editing system based on blocks in which every component is considered a block such as paragraphs, images, and video.  Blocks can be re-arranged within your document and combined to create complex layouts.<\/li><li><strong>Block Menu<\/strong> - The block menu is a block editor feature that displays all of the available blocks, block patterns, and reusable blocks in one scrollable menu.  It is accessed by clicking on the blue plus icon in the upper left hand side of the block editor screen.<\/li><li><strong>Blog<\/strong> - A blog is a collection of WordPress posts, that can be categorized or uncategorized.   They are usually listed in reverse-chronological order meaning the most recent blog post is at the top and older blog posts are listed beneath.  <\/li><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>C<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li><strong>Category<\/strong> - A WordPress category is essentially a way to group various posts on a site.  For example if you have a recipe blog, your categories may be entrees, desserts, and sides.  Categories are also hierarchal, which means you can make them parent and child terms, (or categories and sub-categories).  For example underneath entrees, you might have poultry, fish, and beef.  Then under poultry you might have chicken, turkey, and hen.<\/li><li><strong>Classic Editor<\/strong> - The classic editor is a pre-WordPress 5.0 way of creating content on your WordPress site.  It uses an editing window with Microsoft office-style icons in order to interact with the content.  It has since been replaced by the WordPress, (Block) Editor.<\/li><li><strong>Comments<\/strong> - Comments are responses to WordPress blog posts.  Comments can be enabled and allow your site users to interact with your content.  In the case that you don't want comments enabled, you can install the disable comments plugin to disable them site-wide.<\/li><li><strong>Contributor<\/strong> - A WordPress contributor can write and edit their own posts, but they cannot publish their own posts.  Someone with an editor level or higher must publish their content for them.<\/li><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>D<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li><strong>Dashboard<\/strong> - The <a href=\"#dashboard\">WordPress Dashboard<\/a> is the place where you can configure your site, add content, and update themes, plugins, and core.  You can access the dashboard by typing in your url followed by <strong>\/wp-admin<\/strong>.  For example,  <strong>https:\/\/mysite.com\/wp-admin<\/strong>.<\/li><li><strong>Database<\/strong> - WordPress uses a database in order to store information and configuration options for your site.  The database along with the file structure is what makes your website work.<\/li><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>E<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li><strong>Editor<\/strong> - A WordPress editor has the second-highest level of access on a WordPress site.  In essence, an editor can do essentially everything except modify code and add themes and\/or plugins.  This should be someone who can update their own posts and pages and also the posts and pages of other users on the site.<\/li><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>F<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li><strong>Featured Image<\/strong> - A featured image is an image that is added to a WordPress post and generally represents what the post is about.  Depending on the theme or the page configuration, the featured image may show up in various places in the post.  Also the featured image is used as a thumbnail picture for various social media sites whenever a post is shared.<\/li><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>H<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li><strong>Heading Block<\/strong> - The Heading block is meant to highlight important sections of your post or page, (think about an outline that's divided into different topical headings).  The heading sizes of H1-H6 correspond to the HTML versions of the heading tags.  Heading blocks allow for better readability as well as better separation of content for search engines.<\/li><li><strong>Hosting<\/strong> - In order for WordPress code to run, it needs a web server(computer specially purposed for working with the web), to run on.  A web host \"rents\" space on these servers for either a monthly or yearly fee.  Two webhosts we recommend are <a href=\"https:\/\/afsspokane-fisheriescommunity.pantheonsite.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Flywheel<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/shareasale.com\/r.cfm?b=1730563&amp;u=961333&amp;m=41388&amp;urllink=&amp;afftrack=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WP Engine<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>M<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li><strong>Multisite<\/strong> - <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/article\/create-a-network\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WordPress Multisite<\/a> is an installation of WordPress that allows for multiple instances of WordPress to run while sharing the same database and core code.  Multisite can be done in a subdomain style, (ex.  subdomain.mysite.com) or subfolder style (mysite.com\/subfolder).  <\/li><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>P<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li><strong>Paragraph Block<\/strong> - The paragraph block is the main block that you'll be using for adding text to your WordPress post or Page when using the Block Editor,(Gutenberg).<\/li><li><strong>Password Protected<\/strong>- A password protected post is one that you have to enter a password to view the post or page content.  An administrator or editor can set a password on the post.<\/li><li><strong>Permalink<\/strong> - The Permanent Link of an article or page in WordPress.  It is meant to be unchanged for a long time.  This link is what most think about when talking about a url.  For instance,  <a href=\"https:\/\/wptutoring.byriverstechapp.com\/wordpress-tutorial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/wptutoring.byriverstechapp.com\/<strong>wordpress-tutorial<\/strong><\/a><\/li><li><strong>PHP<\/strong>- Hypertext Preprocessor.  This is a server side programming language on which much of WordPress is written.  Depending on your hosting provider, you might see a notice in your WordPress Dashboard stating that you need to update your version of PHP.  It is essential that you upgrade the version in order to keep your WordPress site performing properly.<\/li><li><strong>Plugin <\/strong>- Think of WordPress plugins as \"apps\" that you can add to your WordPress site in order to extend its functionality.  In reality, they are miniature programs written in php and javascript.  There are over 50,000 free plugins in the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WordPress Repository<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>Post Status<\/strong>- A WordPress post or page can have one of 3 default post status'.  A post or page can either be Draft, Published, or Private.  This goes hand in hand with Post Visibility.  Post visibility also adds password protected.<\/li><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Q<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li><strong>Query Loop Block<\/strong> - The query loop block is a block that allows you to display a list of content on your site.  The query block essentially \"queries\", or asks the WordPress database for a list of items based on the criteria that you set.  For instance, you can configure the query block to display the latest 5 posts in the \"recipes\" category.  You can also configure the block to display the featured image, author, title, and the like.  It can also display the information in a \"grid\" or in a \"list\" format.<\/li><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>S<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li><strong>Shortcode <\/strong>- A special code that you can use in WordPress to insert a pre-determined value.  Shortcodes have brackets with content in between them such as [form].  WordPress processes the value and displays whatever the shortcode is supposed to display.  Many plugins use shortcodes to display things such as forms, cart pages, lessons, etc...<\/li><li><strong>Subscriber<\/strong> - A subscriber has the lowest level of access on a WordPress site.  Essentially, they can only log in and view content.  They are able to comment on blog posts, but not able to create posts or pages, or manage other's posts and pages.<\/li><li><strong>Super Admin <\/strong>- A super admin is a special access level for WordPress Multisite.  A super admin has access to all of the WordPress functions, and code, as well as access to all sub-sites on that network.<\/li><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>T<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li><strong>Tag<\/strong> - A tag is essentially a keyword that describes the content of a post or page.  Unlike categories, tags aren't hierarchal,  meaning that you can't have tags and sub-tags, in the same way that you can have categories and sub-categories.  In general, use tags to describe your content when you don't have something that is important enough to turn into a category. <\/li><li><strong>Theme<\/strong> - A WordPress theme is a set of files that are uploaded to WordPress that control the look and feel of your website.  Themes have a widely varying group of capabilities and looks.  You can choose a theme based on functionality, purpose of your site, or a \"general purpose\" theme that can be used for multiple types of websites.<\/li><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>U<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li><strong>User Roles<\/strong> - There are five default user roles in WordPress, Administrator, Editor, Author, Contributor, Subscriber.  In the case of a multisite there is a Super Admin section.<\/li><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>W<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li><strong>Widget<\/strong> - A <a href=\"#widgets\">widget<\/a> is pre defined code that can be placed into a \"widget area\".  WordPress has pre-defined widgets that you can use, such as: recent posts, recent comments, and categories.  Widgets can also be added to your website when various plugins are installed.  For instance, WooCommerce adds widgets to your site.  With WordPress 5.0+, there is a move to <a href=\"#block-widgets\">Widget Blocks<\/a>, in which any block can be added to a widget area.<\/li><li><strong>Widget Area<\/strong> - A widget area is an area on a page where you can place pre-defined widgets, or widget blocks, onto a page.
