Whether you design, develop, or just use WordPress, or perhaps all three, you will run into questions. Some people know WordPress like the back of their hand. Others have cheat sheets or their own theme frameworks. However, the first place to start looking is the WordPress Codex.
The WordPress Codex is a wiki for people to learn how to use, design, and develop with WordPress. It is free to use and free to edit. Many questions that people ask can be found in the Codex first. Of course, not everything is in the WordPress Codex, but many of the basics are. I have found myself referencing links to the WordPress Codex when answering questions many times.
As mentioned, the wiki can be edited, but it is monitored, so you cannot spam it. Any links MUST be original and informative, and code syntax shared must be correct.
How often do you look at the WordPress Codex? Have you contributed to it?
hey nice information you share here about wordpress codex .its held many feature but user must have attention about duplicate content.
Great post..’ Thanks , dear you nice sharing with me.
It is very effective for me, again thanks……
The WordPress codex sounds like a great tool. I think it could help a lot of people that want to upgrade their usage of word press or help those that have no idea how to navigate it.
WordPress is a powerful semantic publishing platform, and it comes with a great set of features designed to make your experience as a publisher on the Internet as easy, pleasant and appealing as possible.
Hi , WordPress is very powerful for making dynamic web designing. And you thouths are also very nice. Keep It Up.
Hi Nile,
Thank you for this great post, it is very helpful for someone like me who really gets through a lot of pain to make a decent blog on wordpress!
Thanks again,
Jacques
The WordPress codex sounds like a great tool.
According to me it will open the door to better WordPress usage and help user who are relatively novice to that platform.
Thanks for the share. 🙂
Agreed. That is one of the greatest aspects of WordPress: how easy it is to simply Google an issue and fix it. When I first started with WordPress, knowing absolutely nothing about it or HTML, I would simply do a Google search for whatever question I’d have asked a developer if one had been sitting next to me. More often than not I found an easy answer or even a tutorial that showed me what I needed to know.
I prefer Theme Forest as the themes are relatively inexpensive, yet of much higher quality than most of the themes found in the Codex.
You mean the WordPress Theme Directory. The Codex is the actual wiki… separate from the theme directory and plugin directory. Theme Forest is nice… though I usually stick with certain frameworks like my own or Genesis.
Nile,
I didn’t realize you used your own framework — quite impressive. Your knowledge of WordPress is certainly impressive!!! And thanks for sharing this basic reminder that this is the place to go (WordPress Codex) when you have questions about WordPress! Most people just don’t realize that this resource is there! I’m gonna have to share this post on my Facebook Page!
Thanks again for all your great posts!
Have a great Sunday!
