WordPress Tutorials

Below are video Tutorials of the various sections of your WordPress Website … stay tuned for more!

WordPress Website Layout

Familiarize yourself and learn about the sections of your website (Header, Primary Sidebar, Body & Footer Widgets) and where to add widgets to further customize your website.

Understanding Your Dashboard

WordPress Menus

Learn how to create or edit a menu and how to place it in different sections of your website.

Page vs. Post

Learn the difference between a Page and a Post (there is one!) and how to use them together to create a dynamic website.

WooCommerce

WooCommerce is a WordPress PLUGIN that allows you to turn your website into an online store. WooCommerce is a free plugin built for WordPress that also has additional paid plugin enhancements (think of plugins like Apps – you can have the free version or upgrade to do more)

WooCommerce has great documentation and will walk you through all aspects of adding products and much more. 

I recommend reviewing each section of the documentation along with the tutorial videos that show you how to implement each task.

WooCommerce Documentation

Store Settings

Just like with a brick & mortar store, your online store has an administrative side. You’ll find that in your dashboard sidebar under “WooCommerce” those are your storewide settings.

Within Settings, you’ll need to add a way to accept payments. Currently (as of October 2018), if your business address is located in the US Virgin Islands, the only online payment option is PayPal.
