What you will learn:

  • Basic setup and configuration
  • Creating, editing and moderating content
  • Using the Menu system to customize navigation
  • Categorizing content using the taxonomy system
  • Adjusting theme settings and changing themes
  • Adding users, creating roles and assigning permissions
