Default Q & A for Wordpress newbies ????

Over the last 24 hours I have counted in the region of 21 wordpress related questions. Is there any possibility of starting a Wordpress board? (It would be wonderful for those of us who are wordpress newbies.)

Alternatively, would those of you who have loads of wordpress questions be interested in starting up a f*ree and private membership site, so that we can help each other out. I am quite prepared to put one up if needs be. Who knows, we might even be able to attract a Wordpress expert or two to pop in and help us out.

I for one, am continually searching through the forum for information related to Wordpress and often not very successfully.

Sandy

The membership site will only happen if we can't get a board going here on the WF. Glad you like the idea.

Why not go (or suggest people go) straight to the source where all the WP experts hang out already?

The Official WP Forum: WordPress › Support

"Getting Started Resources


If you need help getting started with WordPress, try these articles."

Jared nailed that on the head. There are plenty of official and unofficial WP forums already.

I would like to see more people on this forum stop posting WP support questions in the main "Money Making" forum as WP support does not really fall into this category.

I love to help people and will answer as many WP questions as I can, but these questions for the most part need to go into another section of the forum.

Jared, I actually agree with you. Those are the resources that I used to get me past the basics, along with YouTube. I have also searched through and asked questions here on WF. I still don't necessarily understand everything that can be done via Wordpress.

The problem seems to lie with using purchased themes as well as the variety of plug ins that are available and not always understanding or being able to access training related to those themes/plugins.

I for one made use of a terrific theme obtained through the WarRoom, so the specific membership training is not available to me. Yet I still need answers. Some I have managed to work out by simply "playing around". I even managed to make a great big mess of it and then get myself out of it again...lol

I am pretty certain that there are others in the same boat as I am and who might enjoy brainstorming the answers.

Sandy

Greg,

As you say, you are fed up with all the WP questions. I noticed them. A lot of people have noticed them. It makes perfect sense to me to then set up a board specifically for WP Questions. Hence this post.

Hopefully all the others who have been posting Wordpress questions will head over there as well.

I am not fed up with them, in fact I love to help people with their WP questions. (It's one thing I am actually really good at - lol).

I was trying to say that I don't like seeing the questions in the main forum section. There are 2 other sections within the forum that are perfect places for WP support questions.

Lately there just seems to be a lot of product support type questions in the main forum (not just WP support).

If you really need help and the official WP forums are not enough then their videos will show and explain everything you need to know. Wordpress TV How to.

Greg,

Yes I agree, there are a lot of product support questions in the main forum, I guess it is because that is where most of the warriors hang out. I have in fact used the Programming Talk forum within WF to get my own question answered.

It just seemed to be that there are soooo many questions being asked (and answered) re Wordpress that it would be nice to get them all in one place. Hunting around both inside and outside WF can be very time consuming.

If you really need help and the official WP forums are not enough then their videos will show and explain everything you need to know. Wordpress TV How to.
