Help With WordPress

Depending on the type of help with WordPress you’re looking for, there are many different options. Let’s take a look at the various options, based on the situation.

If you’re having specific problems with plugins, templates or errors with your WordPress installation itself, then the first stop should be the forums at WordPress.org. Hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of other users are constantly posting and sharing tips, helping each other solve similar problems.

Searching the forums can sometimes be a daunting task, but there are some ways of doing a more effective search. If you’re experiencing trouble with a plugin, try going to the plugin directory FIRST, then look for a link in the sidebar (under the big download button) called “”Forum posts”” — clicking this will take you directly to a list of posts regarding that plugin. Do this
before trying a general search on the Forums homepage. The reason is that doing a search there will give you results from ALL of the forums which can be very distracting as you will have to sort through a lot of posts that don’t match your issue.

The same procedure can also be done when looking at a template listing inside the template directory. It’s a much faster way of finding the help you need. Sometimes template developers have their own sites with forums for troubleshooting issues with their themes, so try looking in Appearances > Themes for a link to the developer’s site for help. This is usually the best approach so that you don’t have to wade through forum posts that don’t match your topic exactly.

Additionally, when making a post in the forums (only after you can’t find someone else with the same problem) make sure you write an appropriate tag such as the plugin or template name, or the specific section inside the WordPress administration. This can make a big difference whether or not other users find your post or not.

In addition to searching at WordPress.org for solutions, you can also find help with WordPress in the form of tutorials on sites like YouTube or HubPages.com. These sites are full of video and text tutorials that can train you on virtually every aspect of using the WordPress CMS. Chances are someone has written a tutorial on the exact topic you’re looking for, so search those sites and you’ll become a WordPress pro in no time!

Video Training Unplugged

Global Joint Ventures Everyone wants to earn money. It is the key to having not only the things we need but the things we want as well. A regular 9-5 job does not give much room for wasting time on efforts that will not be fruitful. Joint ventures allow for efficient and effective time management to ensure you the profits you are looking for. Ideally, you will want to partner with someone who can be on at times when you are not available. This would mean partnering with someone on the other side of the world from you. Naturally, there are risks involved that you will need to outline and address early on in the joint venture setup, but the benefits are just as many. Being able to monopolize on every hour of every day could mean a step up over the competition. It would be a shame for you to miss a sale merely because you were not online to address a potential client’s questions. There are plenty of forums and means available for you to research your potential partner’s background. Ask. Seek. Find. You will find that by merely visiting your prospectives’ sites, reading his forum posts, and watching how he interacts not only with his customers, but the general public, you can learn a lot about his character. Not only will you want someone who will be a good representative of your name and brand, but someone that you feel you can work closely with. As joint ventures are very much like a partnership, you will want to make sure that all parties are comfortable with the terms and arrangements. You will want to also make sure that they are familiar with their roles and duties so no boundaries are crossed and communication is kept open. Knowing clearly what is expected of them will also allow for accountability to be applied. One thing to also consider is the language barrier in addition to the target audience. If your joint venture partner cannot communicate well with your target audience, he will not be of any help to you when you are not readily available online. Additionally, if your potential joint venture partner is not familiar with your target audience or region, he again will be of no help to you. A global investment in a joint venture with an international partner can have its advantages as well as its disadvantages. Research, commitment, and determination can help you in finding a partner that will not only meet your needs, but also provide you with the profits for which you are looking. Global joint ventures allow you to monopolize on what is precious to anyone trying to make money: time.
