WordPress User Guide

Do you sometimes struggle to understand all the features of WordPress?

And would you like something you can print off and read in the bath or download onto an eBook reader? Need a WordPress Manual that you can rebrand and offer to your clients as part of your company’s services?

Our WordPress User Guide is a plain English manual designed for print and on-screen use that takes you through the process of setting up a WordPress site, entering and editing content, managing comments, building menus and so much more.

For those on a budget the free version should be adequate and is now higher quality than ever. If you can manage a donation to help keep the guide updated, then for just $6 you get access to a much nicer quality pdf that really shows well when you print it off.

If you wish to rebrand and redistribute the user guide to clients, you must purchase the .docx version. You will also receive substantial discounts for revised editions whenever a new version of the guide is released – this usually matches the major WP releases.

The 3.3 version changes include the following:

• Updated for WordPress 3.3
• New screenshots
• Images edited for improved visibility
• Various copy improvements
• Addition of plugin list
• Addition of theme provider list
• Addition of WordPress As A Service Section

Terms

The free pdf version is for personal use, and must not be redistributed without our prior permission. You may, however, distribute the free pdf version without permission to students if you are a teacher working in a public education capacity – that means schools and other educational establishments that are open to the public and not fee charging. If you are a fee charging university, school, a commercial company, or other fee charging organisation then you should use the paid for version. Once you have paid you may print as many copies as you wish but you may not charge for these copies without our prior permission.

The paid for pdf version is as above with the sole advantage being much higher quality images and a nice warm feeling for helping us to continue being able to offer a free version as well as updating the document to match the frequent changes to WordPress.

The editable version of the file can be rebranded, edited and printed according to your needs but must not be distributed outside of your organisation or beyond your clients without prior permission of interconnect/it. You may remove all references to interconnect/it other than to keep a small copyright notice somewhere within the document that can be found with a document search and which is visible to the naked eye. In other words, be reasonable – we put a lot of work into these guides, they don’t really make us any profit, but by sharing this way we can save you all that work in return for some beer money for ourselves.
