WordPress 4.9.4
WordPress has taken over the web with 28% of all websites being powered by the WordPress framework. This course is designed to familiarize you with the WordPress dashboard so you can get a website built in no time. Both beginners and present users of WordPress will get a true understanding of the dashboard interface along with a behind the scenes look at the components of a WordPress site. We begin by downloading WordPress into a local server environment on your system. We then move on to customize the site while working with permalinks, parent and child themes, posts, pages, categories, tags, media, menus, rss feeds, plugins and commenting. We close by learning how to backup and update your WordPress site. This course offers a true overview of how to use and work with WordPress.
