  • How to Increase the Max Upload Size in WordPressOpens in a new tab. (Beginner)
    Your hosting company will set the default maximum size of files that can be uploaded from your website but you can override that limit. Usually set to at least 4MB, if you have large files like videos that you need to uploaded to the site, you’ll need to update this setting. This article will show you how to check the maximum upload size within WordPress and several ways to update it.
  • The Power Of The WordPress CodexOpens in a new tab. (Beginner)
    When I first started working with WordPress, our main reference was the WordPress Codex – an online wiki that documents all the functionality of WordPress from the developers of WordPress. These days, you can usually find more readable tutorials by simply searching Google, you should still turn to the Codex for a quick reference on how to use and extend WordPress. As a beginner, you’ll probably be more interested in the glossary and lessons. If you’re a developer, you’ll be more interested in the troubleshooting and theme development sections. Either way, it’s an invaluable resource!

So this marks the 26th weekly WordPress picks – that’s a half year of sharing five WP topics each week, 130 articles shared in total!

With that said, I hope that this is helping you out personally as you learn and build with WordPress. If you see a topic that you’d like me to cover, drop me a note! If you like what I’m doing, make sure to sign up to get notified each week.
