LEARN WORDPRESS: The Latest Collision Course to Acquiring the Basics of WordPress

Getting a WordPress site off the ground involves more than choosing a theme. LEARN WORDPRESS by K.M. Kumar offers an introductory tour of the platform, from installation and the dashboard to the practical routines of publishing, organizing, and maintaining a website.

The book’s 16 chapters bring together site-building basics and ongoing management topics. Readers will find sections on plugins, pages and posts, backups, SEO, comments, monetization, contributors, and security, along with lab questions. It’s a broad starting point for understanding the work behind a WordPress site.

From installation to the dashboard

The opening chapters introduce WordPress and explain the initial setup process, including hosting prerequisites, file transfer, database configuration, and the first administrative settings. The discussion then turns to the dashboard—the workspace used to manage site content and settings.

Build a site’s working structure

Dedicated chapters cover plugins, pages and posts, and site architecture. Together, these subjects offer an overview of how a WordPress site can be extended and how its content can be arranged. The contents also include chapters on organizing material and working with contributors.

Keep the site running

WordPress management continues after launch. Kumar’s topic list includes backups, optimization, maintenance, and security, giving readers a chance to consider the routine responsibilities involved in looking after a site. SEO, comments, and monetization broaden the discussion to include visibility, audience interaction, and potential revenue.
