WordPress Training FAQs

Answers to what small business owners typically ask before getting started with WordPress self-management.

Do I need any technical background to follow these videos?
No. These videos are built specifically for small business owners with no coding background. If you can log into a website and follow step-by-step instructions, you can complete every task covered here. The goal is self-sufficiency, not technical expertise.
What version of WordPress do these videos cover?
The videos cover WordPress with the Gutenberg block editor, which has been the default editor since WordPress 5.0. They also cover how to install the Classic Editor plugin if you prefer the older interface. Core WordPress concepts — logging in, creating pages and posts, running updates — remain consistent across recent versions.
Should I always back up before running updates?
Yes — always. Core and plugin updates can occasionally cause conflicts with themes or other plugins, especially on sites with custom development. A backup taken immediately before an update means you can restore your site to a working state if anything breaks. Videos 4 and 5 cover this in detail.
What's the difference between pages and posts in WordPress?
Pages are typically static content — your About page, Services page, Contact page — that doesn't change frequently and isn't dated. Posts are time-stamped entries used for blogs, news, and updates that build up over time. Both are important for SEO. Videos 2 and 3 cover each one separately.
Can TIV360 provide training for my whole team?
Yes. In-person training sessions near Rochester, MN can be structured for individuals or small teams. If your business has multiple people who need to update the website, a group training session is more efficient than having each person learn independently. Contact TIV360 to discuss what makes sense for your situation.
