Practical assistance for the most common platform.
WHERE IT HELPS
Writing and editing page and post content Explaining errors Understanding what a plugin does Writing custom code, reviewed Producing documentation for whoever maintains the site
WHERE IT DOES NOT
Knowing your specific installation Knowing which plugins you have Knowing our server configuration
THAT LAST POINT
Generated WordPress advice assumes a generic environment.
Our servers block HTTP wp-cron, for example. Generated advice will not know that.
Check our knowledgebase for anything hosting-specific.
FOR ERRORS
Paste the exact error and what you were doing.
"What does this WordPress error mean and what are the likely causes?"
FOR PLUGINS
"What does this plugin do, and what are the risks of installing it?"
Useful, and check the plugin's actual reputation and update history.
BEFORE RUNNING ANY GENERATED CODE
Back up. Always.
