.WordPress for dummies

WordPress is easy to use the tool. However, it has very wide functionality, especially when you use advanced design templates and plugins, so it is not strange to find yourself with many doubts and problems when you are a beginner.

Luckily, the doubts are usually the same for almost all bloggers and they are not so many.

So I have created here a compilation of the answers to the most typical and most important questions in WordPress, along with many references to guideposts, tutorials, and all kinds of material to help you master this platform as an expert.

Any questions you want to ask through the comments will be very welcome. Of course, we ask you to be questions about WordPress of general interest.

I will concisely address the questions, without going into depth (which does not make sense here). It is about having a first orientation with the most important thing that allows you to get out of trouble, or to continue deepening on your own.

And in case your question is about blogging in general and not about WordPress in particular, I recommend this page:

Blogging FAQ

Our Blogging FAQ - Questions and Answers about Blogging

When you start blogging, you are filled with doubts. Fortunately, 99% of them are repeated. Here you find the answers you need.

What is WordPress and how does it work?

I have organized the questions in thematic groups, so the logical thing will be to start with the most basic: doubts regarding the basic nature of WordPress.

What are the main differences between Blogger and WordPress?

I would highlight the following as the main differences:

Blogger only exists as a version hosted by Google (similar to WordPress.com), there is no option that you can use with your own hosting comparable to WordPress.org

From the outset, perhaps a little easier to start with Blogger. It is an opinion that is heard frequently, although it is strongly debatable.

Compared to the simple version of WordPress, WordPress.com, it has some very interesting specific features that WordPress.com does not have, such as its template designer (themes), integration with Google Analytics, or the possibility of using AdSense, but ...

… The migration from Blogger to WordPress.org is much more difficult and learning Blogger is of no use to you anymore (if you use WordPress.com, you take advantage of all this learning also with WordPRess.org)

... and you are 100% under the control of Google, which is a capricious company and will not hesitate to close this platform when it is not interested in continuing with it, no matter how much users protest, as it did at the time with Google Reader, for example.

And here I also leave you a reading that discusses this issue in a much more detailed and nuanced way:

What is the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org?

The mess that Automattic (the company behind WordPress) has created using two such similar names has been enormous.

In fact, I do not usually get as many direct questions about the differences, as questions in which I realize that the person is confusing them or has not realized that they are two different options.

To understand each other: the application is the same in both options (the WordPress application) but used in two very different ways that also implies great differences between what you can do with one option and the other.

The essential differences are as follows:

Creating your blog in WordPress.com you only need to open your account, they already create your blog (or website). In return, your blog is under the control of Automattic (like a Blogger blog with Google). You also have a free plan, but very limited (it doesn't even allow you to use your own domain). The most expensive plan ("Business" plan) is the only one that can be purchased in benefits from a blog with its own hosting (the WordPress.org option).

With WordPress.org you have to download the WordPress program yourself (which is free software) and install it on your server, your company's server, or a hosting service such as, for example, Webempresa, which is the option we use and we recommend you (more information and a discount coupon here).

To make a decision about which option to choose, I highly recommend reading this post that details all the differences between these two WordPress options:

What do I need to be able to use WordPress?

In principle very little, if you use WordPress.com, in 5 minutes the account is created, and, in theory, you already have an operational blog and ready to publish.

The problem is that this blog will be "paleo", that is, as is, it is a bit sad and you will want to customize it with a design (WordPress theme) that you like and that fits with your content, even with your own logo.

You will have to make some basic configurations such as the use of permanent links or the time zone of your blog, apart from learning the basic concepts of WordPress: creating posts and pages, how to insert images, what are categories and tags, how are they create menus, etc.

On the other hand, the really powerful version of WordPress, WordPress.org, will also require you to contract a web server with a hosting provider since you have to install and maintain this version of WordPress yourself.

This is not a big problem thanks to the fact that there are good hosting services like the one used by this same blog, Webempresa.

Besides, nowadays, more and more hostings are offering you not only support service for your hosting but also specialized support for the most popular applications such as WordPress, Joomla, and Prestashop.

Create web pages with WordPress

Let's now look at the questions specific to the initial phase of creating a website with WordPress.

I want to set up a company website, not a blog. Does WordPress work?

WordPress was really designed as a CMS (content management system). In fact, it is the most used system to create websites. With which here you already have the answer: yes it can.

Now, in practice, it all depends on the website you want to build, if it is a website of low or medium complexity (number of pages and structure), WordPress will almost certainly be the best option.

If it is really very large and complex websites that require a very sophisticated navigation flow, permissions for users, and perhaps a very personalized behavior according to the user, then you will reach the limits of WordPress and it is worth studying alternatives.

How to know if a website uses WordPress?

If you are curious to know if a website uses WordPress, it is very easy to get out of your doubt: there are specialized tools that will "sing" you for any website whether it uses WordPress or not.

What is the best version of WordPress for beginners?

There is no single answer to this question, it depends on your needs.

The classic trade-off was to choose the platform without limitations, WordPress.org, in exchange for a little more technical difficulty or the simplicity and immediacy of WordPress.com, but in exchange for limitations.

But all this has become very blurred because there are already many hosting services that offer support options for WordPress or even complete management of your WordPress site, which makes it practically as easy for users as on WordPress.com.

On the other hand, WordPress.com has also evolved and offers a much more powerful and affordable "Business" plan than before. Now it is very close to what you can do with WordPress.org on your own hosting.

For this reason, I consider necessary a more nuanced reading on the subject such as the one you can find here:

What I want to dissuade you 100% from is the idea of using free hosting, unless it is only to learn and tinker. Rather than use free hosting, you better stay at WordPress.com.

Here I explain why:

How is WordPress installed on a hosting?

Luckily, that today is not very difficult, installing WordPress on hosting is quick and easy. With good hosting and this guide, you'll be done in less than 5-10 minutes.

In the video, the example of Webempresa hosting is made, but the process works exactly the same in any other hosting that uses cPanel as an administration tool, for example, Hostgator.

I highly recommend using the standard installation procedure seen here in the video and not the WordPress hosting-specific installation tools. Many tend to put a lot of "garbage" that does not contribute much and will only mess you up if you are a beginner.

What hosting do you recommend for WordPress.org?

A lot of people ask me every month "What do you think of XYZ hosting?" And it does not fail: it is always usually the typical offers of around € 2-3 per month, the cheapest on the market and of more than dubious quality.

My advice is very simple: get out of trouble for wanting to save € 2 or € 3 a month that you get back by drinking about two fewer coffees a month and hire a good option that gives you guarantees and peace of mind. You will avoid wasting hours and hours with problems and incidents.

The best solution I can recommend is the Webempresa, SiteGround, and Raiola Networks hostings. In all of them, you have excellent features and support, WordPress support if you need it, and affordable prices.

As an alternative, if it is very important in your case to have unlimited space and bandwidth for very little money, within cheap hosting, I can recommend Hostgator.

All of them usually offer, besides, discounts on the initial contraction with special coupons that you can access here:

How much disk space does WordPress need?

First of all, I want to tell you that it is difficult to make exact calculations because of the wide variety of blog types and content that people publish.

But having said that, we can try to approach it in a very indicative way, which is what I am going to do.

The consumption of space in a WordPress blog is basically made up of four factors:

1. Installation of WordPress PHP files

These are the WordPress files that you install in the hosting, they initially occupy about 20 Mbytes.

This space increases as you install plugins. Generally, it shouldn't go much beyond 100 Mbytes over time, but it is a good idea to check the WordPress plugins folder in your hosting (wp-content / plugins) from time to time in case any of them go wrong.

2. The images

The images are undoubtedly the lion's share. You must optimize the images you upload.

As this is another topic that must be dealt with in some depth, I refer you to this reading so that you understand the problem and see how to optimize your images before uploading them to your website:

The question is this: if you optimize your images well for use on the web, they should not occupy much more than 100-150 Kbytes on average, except in special cases.

To this, we must add that WordPress internally creates resized variants of the images which add consumed space.

In short, as a guide, we can calculate as a reasonable average of about 500 Kbytes, or what is the same, 0.5 Mbytes per image.

3. Downloads

Here I am thinking of things like websites that, for example, make eBooks available to your readers in PDF form or allow the download of software, etc.

The option you choose already depends 100% on your particular case, it can be zero or many Mbytes if you offer lots of downloads. Therefore, here there is no worth estimate 🙂

4. The WordPress database

WordPress saves its contents in a database (MySQL), along with other information such as author information, tags, categories, etc.

Posts and pages tend to take up very little because they are basically pure text (which takes up very little). In general, there will be very few posts or pages that exceed 10Kbytes of space.

A key issue here is that WordPress saves reviews every time you edit a post. It is advisable not to accumulate many by not multiplying their space and for this, a plugin such as Optimize Database after Deleting Revisions can be very useful.

If you do that right, the consumption of this part will be almost negligible.

On our blog, for example, with almost 300 posts and pages (September 2018), and generally very long compared to the average, we are at 129 Mbytes for the entire database (optimized).

Definitive example calculation of the space consumed

Now that we know how to calculate the space consumed by a WordPress installation, we can now make a generic example that will serve as a general guideline.

For this we are going to think of a blog type with, let's put 3 images per post on average and 100 posts published and reasonably well optimized.

As mentioned above, these would be the disk space consumption accounts of your hosting:

50 Mbytes of installation + plugins.

150 Mbytes of images

10 Mbytes of various download files

25 Mbytes of database

Total: 385 Mbytes

One last comment: a real disk space drain on hosting is usually email (for attachments). As it is something that has nothing to do with the web as such, many people forget this.

Therefore, beware of this. It is as simple as making sure that the email reader you use deletes the emails once they are downloaded (this is usually what a default configuration does). And also be especially careful with accounts where you accumulate mail that you never open, etc.

In any case, the typical administration tools of a good hosting such as Webempresa (typically cPanel), allow you to see the space consumed and locate where the consumption comes from.

I am a web designer, 

Do you recommend me to jump to WordPress to make my clients' websites?

Not that I recommend it, except for exceptions, I consider it practically mandatory obligation.

WordPress is not only used to create blogs but to create any type of website of a small or medium size. It is no coincidence that it is the most used platform in the world to create websites.

The reason for my recommendation is that, although WordPress is easy to use for the user, you do not lose any capacity for customization of the design, if you need it, you can design as custom as if you were doing it "bareback" with HTML. Of course, you have to learn how to do it.

In return, you gain a giant leap in productivity and add the potential for added value for your clients due to its functionalities for editing and publishing content.

The key here is its flexible architecture of themes (pre-designed design templates that install with a simple click of a button) and plugins (extensions that extend its functionality). There are thousands of themes and tens of thousands of plugins in the official free WordPress repository alone.

Design templates can be used as-is by customizing a minimal set of options or you can customize them to the last detail, all of them.

What varies depending on the case is the way to do it: very powerful templates like Divi you design without knowing how to program anything (everything is done with a visual editor) and other simpler ones require programming knowledge in HTML, CSS, and, depending on the case. , also a little PHP.

As a web designer, you can do everything you would by designing directly in HTML and CSS.

Even in the simplest templates (typically the free one), even if they don't have their own options for advanced customization, you can always achieve a high degree of customization using CSS (something that WordPress itself allows).

I assume that as a web designer you already know CSS, but if not, you can learn them here:

And finally, I also want to clarify that everything that has been said refers to WordPress.org (the version that requires its own hosting), the limitations of WordPress.com do not allow you to enjoy these fantastic possibilities in its most basic plans.

How do I configure Google Analytics for my WordPress blog?

In WordPress.com you need to have the "Business" plan, in which case you will have to configure your Google Analytics ID in WordPress.com settings.

In WordPress.org you can do it, either manually, by inserting a tracking code that Google Analytics provides you, or with the Google Analytics for WordPress plugin that basically does the same, but avoiding manual work.

I want to migrate from Blogger to WordPress. What do you recommend, WordPress.com or WordPress.org?

I strongly discourage you from migrating to WordPress.com, unless your Blogger blog is very simple, with very little content (a few dozen entries at most). The main reasons are as follows:

WordPress.com is very limited in its free version and cheap paid plans. You will lose features compared to Blogger such as the ability to customize the design or AdSense advertising.

Migrating to Blogger is not trivial and, especially if your blog already has a certain volume of content, you will have more than one incident and headache to solve. In WordPress.org you can get away with everything because it allows you total control, but in WordPress.com you are more limited and complicated. Difficult-to-solve problems are likely to arise.

Starting from an asset such as the blog that you have and for which you want to continue betting (otherwise you would not be considering this, right?), Do things right and migrate to the professional version, with all the possibilities of WordPress, what is WordPress.org

How to edit content in WordPress

Editing content in WordPress is easy, but like everything else, it's hard to get started. Let's see the main questions that come to us (and that people look for on the Internet):

How to enter the WordPress dashboard as a user or administrator (admin)?

To access the dashboard of your WordPress site you can use several "standard" URLs:

https://yoursite.com/wp-admin

https://yoursite.com/admin

https://yoursite.com/wp-login.php

I also take this opportunity to remind you to avoid using the username "admin" that WordPress proposes by default in its installation, since with a known name like this you make it much easier for hackers who try to enter your WordPress site.

If you are already using it, in this post they explain how to change it.

What is the difference between entries (posts) and pages in WordPress?

The posts (entries, articles, ...) are what, together with the comments, really makes a blog a blog.

They are contents that are published periodically and in sequential order, the last post published is the first on the list. A new publication displaces the previous one, like the numbers of a magazine. It is as simple as this.

The pages are exactly the same at the content level, but the difference with the posts is that they are designed for more static content.

A post like "7 effective ways to measure your influence on Twitter that don't lie" makes sense as a post, but not as static content (the pages that come in the blog menu).

In contrast, our "About ..." page makes no sense as a post. It makes sense where it is: in the menu of static pages that do not change or change very few times.

Sometimes there is content that could perfectly be both, for example, this same post: it makes sense as a post, but it would still fit as a "Frequently asked questions & answers about WordPress" page.

What is the difference between WordPress categories and tags?

Over time, a blog accumulates a lot of content and it is essential to organize it.

For this, almost all blogging platforms have concepts of categories and tags. They are very easy to use, but you have to be clear about the philosophy behind these concepts to apply them well.

Looking at the blogs out there it is evident that many people are not clear about them at all, so I want to review them here with you.

Actually, it is very simple:

The categories should represent your main thematic lines. They should be the minimum possible (I recommend no more than 10 and better 6-8).

In this same blog, if you visit its main page, you will see, among others, these categories:

It is normal (that this does not overwhelm you) that you are not clear at first and that they vary.

But if you are a bit organized and take care of the classification of your contents, they should tend over the years to consolidate more and more.

The labels are the "fine thread", they capture the nuances that the categories do not capture. That is, if a Citizen 2.0 category is "WordPress", appropriate tags within this category could be "plugins", "templates", and so on.

You will find these tags, normally, at the beginning or at the end of the posts. Some sites still incorporate the famous tag clouds as well, although they are already a bit out of use.

One final piece of advice I want to give you is to try to control the excessive use of labels. Most people tend to create the label "inflation" by using different terms for the same things.

Try to control that because if the number of labels is triggered they lose their meaning.

How to create posts and pages in WordPress?

The content creation is done entirely within the WordPress dashboard, with the corresponding WordPress user.

create posts for WordPress pages

Posts and pages are created from the WordPress dashboard.

In the screenshot that you can see above, the WordPress menus have been highlighted from which you will access the editor of entries (posts) and pages.

How to duplicate (clone) a page in WordPress?

There are different ways to duplicate or clone a page or post within WordPress.

You can simply do it "manually", in which case you would create a new post or a new page and copy and paste the content into it.

For this, I recommend that you carry out the copy and paste process with the HTML editor since copying only text (the HTML code of the content) is more difficult for you to have problems:

WordPress HTML editor

You can access the HTML editor in the "HTML" tab of the editor.

An alternative to this is to use a cloning plugin like Duplicate Post, for example. Personally, I am not in favor of it because the fewer WordPress plugins you have installed, the better, and something so simple I do not see that it justifies adding one more plugin.

And a warning: avoid duplicate content on your site as much as possible.

There is nothing wrong with having repeated pieces of content on your site, but a massive duplication of content will negatively affect your website on Google.

How to insert an image in WordPress?

WordPress stores the images of the content in its media library.

If you want to upload an individual image to content, I recommend doing it with the "Add object" button of the WordPress visual editor that you can see below:

upload images WordPress

Ways to upload images to WordPress.

If you have a considerable number of images (5 or more, for example) that you are going to use in content, you can go a bit faster if you upload them all at once.

To do this you have to go to the media library menu which is also highlighted in the image above.

How to include audio and videos in WordPress?

Doing this is extremely easy in WordPress, it is as simple as putting the URL of the resource in question.

In the case of videos, it supports all popular video platforms (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.).

In these cases, simply paste the URL of the video in question into the content. WordPress will recognize it and display the corresponding player instead of this URL.

This is known as “embedded videos” and on this page, you have several examples.

What is very important is that this URL is not mockup as a link, but that you leave it as normal text.

By making the URL a link in the editor, WordPress would understand that you don't want the video to be embedded, but you want to display the link as such.

In the audio, the way to proceed is similar.

An MP3 file, for example, would be linked by simply putting the URL to that file. WordPress will recognize it and, just like it does with videos, it will display an embedded player in place of the URL.

Remember that, as with videos, the URL should not be converted into a link, normal text must remain for everything to work as you expect.

How to schedule the publication of an entry?

In WordPress, when editing a new entry or page, in the publication panel, by default, the "Publish" button will appear to publish this entry. If you click, it will be published immediately.

However, you can also defer the publication to the date you want by editing the publication's schedule section, which is the area highlighted below in the image. Here, next to the "Post immediately" text, you will find an "Edit" link.

By clicking on this link, you can set the publication date as you can see in the image:

schedule WordPress posts

The WordPress publishing panel allows you to schedule the publication of posts and pages.

How can I create a contact form in WordPress?

It's very simple, in WordPress.com a functionality is already configured that allows you to quickly insert a contact form (see image).

In WordPress.org, you do not have this same function pre-installed, but in return, you have an infinity of different plugins more or less sophisticated according to your needs.

One of the most popular and the one we use is the Contact Form 7 plugin that you can find on our resources page for blogs & bloggers.

WordPress templates and plugins

Design templates (also called "WordPress themes") and plugins are the "soul" of WordPress and one of the great keys to its enormous success.

Let's look at the most important doubts about this point.

What are WordPress themes/plugins/widgets and how do I install them?

Some very quick definitions:

Templates or themes: they are design templates with which you can completely change the look of your blog. There are free and paid ones. It is important to choose appropriate templates for your content. For example a template for a photography blog (very visual, images are very prominent) versus a philosophy blog (a few images, a lot of text).

Plugins: small programs that extend and/or modify WordPress to unimaginable extremes. For example, some plugins turn your WordPress blog into an authentic online store in the purest “Amazon” style. In this post, we tell you in-depth what exactly a plugin is.

Widgets: they are a kind of special visual plugins that appear, above all, in the sidebars. A typical example of social widgets (such as a Facebook or Twitter fan list).

As wor themes

Our themes and plugins paid only once or do you have to pay for them every year?

Keep in mind that there are hundreds of companies that make themes and/or plugins for WordPress, logically each one has its own policies, there is no single formula.

The licensing issue is sensitive and, therefore, all manufacturers (at least the serious ones) have a section on their website where they clarify their policies in this regard. So look it up and check it out.

That said, most follow the following model: with your initial payment you have the right to use for life, but not to support and updates after the first year. To continue having support and updates, it is normal to continue paying an annual fee.

This is the case, for example, in the theme we recommend the most: Divi.

There are also (few) companies that allow you to update the software indefinitely, but I do not know of any case in which you have access to lifetime support with a one-time payment.

How to know which template (theme) a WordPress website uses?

To find out the WordPress template used by any site, I recommend the WPThemeDetector.

One of the most important things in which it outperforms many other tools is that it not only detects the theme of the site, but also more complex situations such as using a child or custom theme.

How to install or change a template (theme) in WordPress?

The themes can be directly from WordPress if they are in the WordPress repository (in which there are thousands of them free).

If they are not in the repository, it is necessary to upload the file that contains the theme to your WordPress site (it is usually frequent in the case of paid themes).

Once the theme is installed in either of the two ways, it is necessary to activate it for the site to use it.

To change the current theme for a new one is as simple as installing a new one.

In the "Appearance / Themes" menu you can carry out these operations and in the "Appearance / Personalize" menu you can customize the aspects that the theme lets you change: things like logos, header images, color scheme, fonts, etc.

In the case of more sophisticated themes (professional paid themes, especially), it is common for the theme to additionally install its own menus within the WordPress dashboard that will give you access to additional customization options.

How to install and activate a plugin in WordPress?

The way of working with plugins is practically identical to the way of working with themes described in the previous section.

In this case, you must do it through the "Plugins" menu.

How to know which plugins a WordPress website uses?

A good tool to find out what plugins a site uses is ScanWP.

I don't see the "plugins" menu

If you have read the previous paragraphs, you can imagine the answer:

It is very simple, you are on WordPress.com and you were not clear about the difference between the two variants of WordPress: WordPress.org and WordPress.com.

WordPress.com does not support plugins, except on the "Business" plan. Therefore, this menu does not exist if you have one of the lower plans.

Visibility and web positioning with WordPress

If you have a website, you want it to appear on Google. Let's look at the most frequent questions about WordPress at this point.

Is WordPress good for SEO and web positioning?

The answer is simple: yes, it is good, even very good.

In SEO at the page level (SEO On-Page) it is very important to have a good HTML structure in the pages with their corresponding elements for the page title, titles, and subtitles of the content (<title>, <h1>, < h2>), etc.

WordPress does this very well and also allows you to use very useful SEO support plugins such as Yoast SEO. Therefore, all of this will help you with your Website positioning.

Now, this alone is not enough. The positioning of your website will not be automatic.

WordPress gives you very good tools, but if you want your website to position itself, you have to do the SEO work (search for keywords, adapt the structure of the content to them, etc.).

It's like thinking that because you have an excellent lug wrench, the wheels of your car are going to change themselves.

My WordPress page does not appear in Google

If you have not done SEO work, it is very difficult for your website to appear in Google. It is just what I just explained in the previous paragraph.

Therefore, I also refer to the post to learn SEO that I mention in the previous paragraph.

Typical problems

Let's finally take a look at some of the typical problems WordPress users encounter.

My blog is slow, how can I make it go faster?

This is not a trivial topic, it becomes really complex if you dig deeper, but it is very important, among other things, for your positioning in Google.

To give you an idea, in the redesign of our website in which we have also optimized the blog a lot, we have gone to a response time of less than 1 second of around 10,000 page views/day.

Here you can see it:

c2cero Pingdom speed test

The change to Genesis combined with a more minimalist line has also had a great impact on the performance of the new site as you can see in this screenshot of the Pingdom speed test.

But all this is useless if you do not have good hosting, so the first thing is to make sure that you have a provider and
