First Things First

Welcome. WordPress is a very special project to me. Every developer and contributor adds something unique to the mix, and together we create something beautiful that I'm proud to be a part of. Thousands of hours have gone into WordPress, and we're dedicated to making it better every day. Thank you for making it part of your world.

Online Resources

If you have any questions that aren't addressed in this document, please take advantage of WordPress' numerous online resources:

-
The WordPress Wiki

A wiki is like a web page than anyone can contribute to, and the WordPress wiki documentation has grown rich from the many who have contributed to it. It is usually up-to-date and well-hyperlinked. The only downside is it can be hard to find your way around your first time. Use the search box at the top.

The WordPress Codex

The Codex is the encyclopedia of all things WordPress. It is the most comprehensive source of information for WordPress available.
The official documentation
The documentation on wordpress.org represents the official resources we've made available. Beyond reference, this includes tutorials and guides for doing different things with WordPress. As I write this, it is a little sparse, but we're doing our best to enrich this resource so by the time you read this sentence the docs may be bursting with information.
The Development Blog

In addition to the FAQ on the wiki and the main website, there is a new FAQ blog that several members of the documentation team are updating. The FAQ itself is run with WordPress.
WordPress Support Forums
If you've looked everywhere and still can't find an answer, the support forums are very active and have a large community ready to help. To help them help you be sure to use a descriptive thread title and describe your question in as much detail as possible.

    Query String Usage

    WordPress can be manipulated quite a bit through the query string. To pass variables in the querystring, proceed the first variable name with a '?' question mark and every other variables with a '&' sign. You may never use this, but it is useful to know.
