WordPress Site Tutorials

GETTING TO KNOW WORDPRESS

Tutorials are a great way to get hands-on with WordPress. These videos will help you learn new skills to become a more effective WordPress user, developer, designer, and contributor.

GETTING TO KNOW DIVI THEME
Divi is a modern no-code visual drag-and-drop website builder for WordPress. With Divi, you can build stunning websites from the ground up without touching a single line of code (unless you want to!). Divi harnesses the power of complex web development and lets you design custom websites by using the Divi Visual Builder so you can see the changes you are making in real time.
GETTING TO KNOW MAILPOET

Successful email marketing requires more than elegant templates and well-written copy. In fact, those things are wasted if nobody knows about your list. This makes it essential to put at least as much energy into building (and maintaining) your list as you do into creating content for it.

Always Use best practices to avoid disasters

      • Create a Backup Before Making any Changes to this Site.
      • The site is dynamic meaning its gets its data from a database which makes everything look fine until you do the update, at which point the site crashes if you updated and created a conflict.
      • To avoid the crash and burn possibilty all together, create a backup from the Dashboard Click on Updraft Plus > Backup / Restore.

 

 

 

    1. From the Updraft Backup Page CLICK Backup Now (Big Blue Button).
    2. When the backup completes you may now begin your changes and / or additions.
    3. The site does automatic backups weekly. So if you forget to make a backup and the site must be restored, it would have to come from an automatic backup. Automatic backups may not be current and may require manual entry to fully recover.
    4. If a Restore is required you should contact the site administrator to do it.
