A hands-on how-to book for people who need to get things done, and want fast, reliable solutions.
If you own a website powered by the WordPress CMS, or you are a web developer looking to build a WordPress CMS site, you want quick, reliable solutions. WordPress 4 is made especially for you — a no nonsense, how-to book that focuses on proven solutions to the most common issues you encounter in WordPress.
A comprehensive guide to using the WordPress CMS, WordPress 4 was specifically written for the 4.x series of WordPress releases. With 350+ pages and more than 200 screenshots, the book provides you with your best hands-on guide to owning and managing a WordPress website.
Written by Ric Shreves, author of eight open source CMS titles, including the Joomla! Bible and the Drupal 7 Bible, WordPress 4 is the first in a new series of ebooks from publisher water&stone digital.

What’s the methodology used in this book? This is very much a hands-on practical text. There are no long, fluffy paragraphs of esoteric information or lengthy explanations of underlying concepts. WordPress is completely focused on how to get things done right now. We use a no-nonsense Need to do something? Here’s how to do it.
Each of the more than 90 topics are laid out using the following ***Statement of problem / issue ***Step-by-step instructions to implement a solution (illustrated with full color screenshots) ***Tips & Warnings (a bulleted list) ***Resources (URLs that lead you to more in-depth information on the topic, should you want to explore further)
The book is an incredible resource for those seeking to build Wordpress pages. The format of this book helps you to get through different processes during your build as well as helping you to troubleshoot. This book came right on time for me as I have been struggling through the build process. The explanations are clear and provide you with step by step instructions. Additionally, the diagrams provided were an essential helping component. I refer to this book often and will be looking into others by Shreves.
