Description

WordPress Complete, Sixth Edition is a practical guide for everyone who wants to start their journey as an online publisher, website owner, or even a website developer. It takes you step-by-step through the process of planning out and building your site, and offers loads of screenshots and examples along the way. It's also a beginner's guide to theme and plugin development. This book begins with the basics of WordPress, followed by the different components that you as a developer will need to use to work swiftly and efficiently. The book starts by introducing WordPress to new readers in this field. You are then shown how to set it up, implement a blog, and use plug-ins and widgets. You'll use themes to make any website look and feel better and more original. You also learn how to create your own themes and perform testing to ensure your website is bug-free. You will also acquire some idea of how to use WordPress for non-blog-like websites. By the end of the book, you will feel confident enough to design high-quality websites and will be familiar with the ins and outs of WordPress

Who is this book for?

This book is for anyone who wants to learn how to create a functional website, without having to hire a developer or a designer. The best thing about WordPress—the open source software that we're going to be using—is that it has a minimal learning curve and that everyone can master it quickly. No specific website building experience is required. Having said that, this book will also appeal to everyone who wants to get a bit more in-depth with WordPress development and start working on their own plugins and themes.

This is the most comprehensive and the best written beginning WordPress book that I have seen. It offers a well illustrated walkthrough of all basic WP features in functions. It also dives into theme and plugin development (although it can't possibly cover as much as theme development- and plugin development-specific books). The book is up to date as of this time and is well edited (typos and errors do occur but are minimal).For more info, see my comment to Alexandr's 2-star review (https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R1EGZSQ7TI12C1/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=1787285707).

Working with latest version of WordPress -- this is the perfect book! I'm an experienced web programmer, but hadn't used WordPress in quite a few years. I wanted a book that covered the latest version and give me good tips on configuration, themes, plugins, and all the other stuff WordPress is known for. This book is great. Plenty of good examples that agree with what I see on my screen when doing a new install.I especially like the recommendations he offers for useful configuration options. It has saved me hours of work and frustration! Very happy!
