Frequently Asked Questions - WPCompendium.org

Here are some of our most frequently asked questions:

Do You Provide WordPress Support?

We are a free WordPress training site for beginners. As a result, we do not have the resources to provide WordPress support.

Can You Log Into My Site And Help Me Solve XYZ Problem?

The short answer is no!

If you experience any issues with WordPress plugins, WordPress themes, or third-party software, please visit the vendor’s website and contact their support for help. If you purchased something that we recommended on WPCompendium.org and it doesn’t work for you, please contact the developer for support. If they cannot offer you support, then ask for a refund and look for an alternative solution.

WordPress is constantly evolving . Thousands of developers are constantly improving the WordPress software and working on developing new plugins, themes, and other third-party services and solutions. Keeping up with all these changes is challenging, especially as there is only one person looking after this site (me!). Some tutorials, therefore, may contain outdated information and some of the solutions recommended here may become obsolete or be replaced by newer and better alternatives.

Our goal is to provide WordPress beginners and non-technical users with information that will help them take control of their digital presence and better understand the process of growing an effective business online. We publish tutorials on how to use core WordPress features and third-party plugins, themes, and solutions that should integrate and play well with WordPress.
