Eventually every WordPress user encounters some type of issue at some point. WordPress is easy to find, free to download, and free to use, but not always easy to learn or troubleshoot for everyone. Each individual learns and uses at their own pace, and often, depending on how they learned to use WordPress, their method may not be the same. So, how can you get support for your WordPress site?
How to Get Support for your WordPress Site
The WordPress community itself is pretty large. While WordPress.org has a support forum, and an awesome wiki called the Codex, some people need more help.
You can find support for your WordPress site on several social networks. Please note that the list below is a pick that I believe add a lot of value. You are more than welcome to comment below on what other communities are adding value. I will review them as I’m more than happy to edit this list, but I’m not here to list umpteen million groups that do the same exact thing. Believe me, there are tons of places online that are dedicated to WordPress help.
There are so many communities, even broken down to focus on specific plugins, and themes too!
All About WordPress
Advanced WordPress
WordPress for Business
WordPress Help and Share
Google+
WordPress community on Google+ – This large community of around 50,000 members caters to most areas of WordPress for Google+ users.
Other
WordPress Development at Stack Exchange
WordPress tag at Stack Overflow
WPQuestions – This site allows you to ask questions and get them solved quickly, but for money. Members at WPQuestions leave their answers, and the one that works, you can reward them with cash.
This list could grow in the future, so stay tune. Also, as said earlier, you’re welcome to suggest more to this list. I will definitely consider them, but they MUST add value to the WordPress community, and must not be riddled with self-linking and spam.
If you join any of the places listed above, please remember to read their rules. Some of them are a little more strict about what can be shared. Some are focused on advanced topics or specific topics. The majority of these places do have rules, so it’s important to be aware of them before participating.
Where do you seek support for your WordPress site?

It has been a while since WordPress has stumped me but I am grateful to have the links listed above.
Hello Nile, What a great idea to share all these links with us, I for one am copying each and everyone. There are times when I could just scream because I have no one to turn to. This is just what I have been looking for.. Thanks for sharing.. Chery :))
Such A Wonderful And Useful Post, Thank you For Sharing Nile 🙂
WordPress tag at Stack Overflow is still the best one for me, even this not specialist for wordpress but i get many answer for my problem that i get.
Thanks for sharing

Thank you so much for posting this Nile. I need help from WP so will be
checking out the Facebook group.
My WordPress visual editor has disappeared and I tried every suggestion I found on Google to restore it and it still not working. I have deactivated every plugins and have deleted the 2 recent ones that I have updated and the editor is still missing. So I will be checking out the group for help.

You have given us a great resources to turn to. Thank you for the list,will certainly join some of these groups.
It’s great how all these communities have been set up. The main wordpress community is just way too large to be of help a lot of the time. Smaller communities always work better, and that way, people grow to trust and respect those who are helping them.
Thanks for the resource list Nile!
I had no idea you could get so specific with your WordPress questions.
It’s almost as if, they have specific groups just for specific issues that involve WordPress.
This is really good to know, going forward.
Because I’m still constantly learning more and more about the WordPress platform, whether I
really want to or not!LOL!
Thanks Nile for showing us those resources, I usually just Google it when I need help but not everything may be found here.
Is there any other website ?other than http://wpquestions.com/ where we can put our word-press query and get solution for free
Hi Vipul! WPQuestions is not free. Some of the other places mentioned in this article do allow you to ask your questions. However, don’t expect them to answer everything for free, especially if you need them to take a look and spend time solving you problem.
Thanks for replying me Nile
I know that WP Questions is not free but I have been using WP from last 3 years and sometime
what happened with me because of minor mistake I stuck at one point at that a little guidance can make my way easy
What i love about the vast amount of info out there is i usually dont have to ask a questions, typically someone else has asked it already and a great answer from the community!
It’s good to know there are resources out there! Thank you for sharing these with us, Nile.
Nile, Thanks for putting together this list of resources for all of us WordPress users! Their are times when I need help with my site and its great to know that I can find what I need with all these available options.

Hii Nile,
As a new blogger, i am well familiar with the problems in managing a WordPress Site. This guide is really worth for me. Thanks a lot for sharing this awesome tutorial with us about how to get Support for WordPress Site. These resources are quite helpful for me.
Keep helping 🙂
WordPress . org is a good source for support with many active users.
Lynda.com has a few very nice WordPress courses that can get you started. Also there are many videos on YouTube teaching WordPress.
This post isn’t about Courses for WordPress, but actual support.
Great Resource Nile.
Generally I ask for support on WordPress support forum section. But you mention some great sources for WordPress support.
Thanks for this great resources.
Just about the best thing about WordPress is the community. There are so many ways to get help with it.
Really This is a awesome article you have shared
this is very important to learn everything about wordpress support
how to solve those issue and where can get solution
It is pretty good to have all the links sorted at one place. Things become irritating at the moment of breakdown of a website. In the long run of my career, I have witnessed several cases where WordPress acted really badly to the situation. At that moment, Googling to fix the issue becomes really irritating and time consuming.
Hello Nile.
It seems every few months I encounter some issue with my WordPress site, so having all the resources you mention is so useful!
I’ll definitely keep this blog post in mind the next time I need help. Bookmarking it right now!

Hello Nile,
Excellent share, I think WordPress forum is enough to get any kind of support. The community is highly active. The forum itself cover most of the issues arise with WordPress and its fix. Stack Exchange and Stack Overflow also have many topics but some are not solved.
Nile, great list. Thanks for putting it together and helping us weed out some of the chaff.
WordPress forums and some web designing forums can serve as helping hand for wordpress issues
Thanks for this post. 🙂 This is quite a good guide for someone having trouble with their wordpress site.
The wordpress community has so many helpful users that can teach newbies how to troubleshoot their website. A long time ago, I also had a problem putting a logo on my website and when I consulted the wordpress community, I realized there are just so many helpful people arround the world. 🙂
I’m so thrilled I stumbled onto your site! This post has been so helpful and I’ve just joined some of the groups on facebook that you recommended. I’m lost when it comes to some of the more technical issues. Thank you.
Hello your article is really very nice and very useful for Me. Thank you for your Sharing.
Hi Nile. WordPress can indeed support my site. Thank you for the information you share.
