Wordpress Mistakes And Misconceptions You Should Avoid

In the past years, Wordpress has really grown tougher and more unbeatable. Lots of changes

have been made and these changes brought about some important mistakes and

misconceptions about Wordpress. You need to know these things to remove them from

your minds and realize the full potential and power of this content management system. Most

of all, you need this to reach profitable results.

Here are some mistakes that may lead to serious security issues and may even stop the

development process. Here are some steps to stop this from happening and lead to a faster,

secure and well planned Wordpress site.

1st is keeping admin as username. This is the

most common mistake that’s being done still by

lots of people. Wordpress makes the admin as a

default username and gives it to the user the

administrator level. This username is very much

predictable and would increase the change of

your site getting hacked. Especially when you

choose this username with poor password, you

will just attract hackers to visit your site.

2nd is adding more categories with fewer tags. This is a huge misconception; you can only add

categories to the main navigation interface. You do it by going through the

appearance>menu>screen options> and turn on the posts and tags. Proper organization and

planning is very much important to make your site a lot better. You should also take some more

time to think about and evaluate the content of your website.

3rd common mistake is pushing through with older versions of Wordpress whilst ignoring the

updates. Sometimes it’s hard to remember updating to new versions of Wordpress. New version

is being updated when bugs are found on the current version. If you are still using the older

version, you can expect your site to be very vulnerable to these problems. Updates isn’t a time

consuming task, it’s quite easy to update to this new version with just one click. It will just

consume a lesser time.

Here are some misconceptions that you should

avoid. First is the thought of restricting it only to

blogging. There are people who think that

Wordpress is only for blogging. The reality is that the

company said that it’s software that a person can

use for creating beautiful website or blog. It’s not

just for blogging and that’s what you should always

remember.

Second misconception is that huge budgeted

companies don’t go for Wordpress. Some say that

bug companies don’t use Wordpress as their CMS.

Universities can prove this wrong as they often use it

for their websites. Lots of schools and other institutions also make use of Wordpress.

And last, there are people who say that Wordpress doesn’t provide support. How can they say

this nonsense? Wordpress gives answers to every concern. They even have forums for helping

those who need help. You can also email them any time you want if you have problems. As a

user, don’t stop yourself from asking help if you encounter one of these.
