WordPress Basics Video Training Course
I want to welcome you to a series that I’m doing
on the basics of WordPress and him and go
over everything in the back in menu of WordPress
just to help you have a little bit more of
an understanding of all the different settings
that are there that sometimes might be a little
hard to find so in this video I’m in a go
over the dashboard so here is the basic word
press dashboard and this is where depending
on may be some themes and plug-ins that you
might have installed they could put these
dashboard widgets here that might give you
some status information so for instance there’s
a plug-in I like to use for security and in
it’ll put a little weighted here that will
show me how many times someone might’ve tried
to hack into my website so your dashboard
is really just a series of widgets now I want
to show you something that is often overlooked
in WordPress’s necessary watching\’85 Screen
options now when you click on it is going
to pull this little slide down menu and their
season hidden options about what you’re seeing’s
you can enable or disable hide unhide different
items on the page that you’re on in the backend
of WordPress and the screen options are to
find all throughout word press that will hide
or reveal certain settings I know when I first
started with WordPress site I didn’t either
never got to look in the screen options and
there is a wealth of little settings there
are so anyways all these widgets I can enable
or disable by checking or unchecking any of
these boxes so if I didn’t want any of these
widgets I could uncheck uncheck uncheck uncheck
and now I don’t have to look at any of those
widgets on so many reenable him and show you
that you can also rearrange these widgets
so for instance if I want at a glance over
here on the right I can just drag and drop
it over there like that and move it back so
you got these are screen options that are
very helpful especially here for the dashboard
now the second component of the dashboard
is the updates area right here now when you
have an update available for a theme or plug-in
or for WordPress itself. SCA number here now
right now you see a one because one of the
plug-ins that are installed has an update
available and you can see it right here so
anyways a right here’s where you see if there
is an update to WordPress and here you will
see if there is a plug-in update or theme
update available and if you want to do that
update all you have to do is check on it like
that and then click on update plug-ins in
this case but it might be themes okay and
what it does is it deactivates the plug-in
it downloads the update and it replaces it
and then it re-activates that plug-in she
can see right there it is complete it is done
