What is WordPress?

WordPress is a free, open source content management system (CMS). It’s a software that allows people to create, organize, and update websites without having to manually code every page. WordPress actually started as a blogging platform, however, it has grown into something much more than that now.  It has evolved to be used as full content management system and so much more through the thousands of plugins, widgets and themes. WordPress is currently powering more than 26% of the web.

The most important part of WordPress is that it comes in two forms—WordPress.com and WordPress.org. WordPress.com is a blog hosting service that allows users to setup a free website that operates on custom version (limited) of the WordPress software. And then there is WordPress.org, a software with which you can do just about anything without any limitations. In simple words, WordPress.org is basically the home of the open source WordPress software.  Most importantly, WordPress is an all-in-one feature-packed website platform, it can do just anything!

What are WordPress themes?

According to WordPress.org, themes are collections of files “that work together to produce a graphical interface with an underlying unifying design for a weblog.” In simple, a WordPress theme is what controls the functionality, the look, and the feel of a WordPress website. WordPress themes come in a variety of flavors, from basic, free themes to more complex, premium themes. The key takeaway about WordPress themes for any beginner is that at any moment a WordPress website’s theme may be changed without adversely affecting the actual content of the website.

How to add Privacy Policy Page in WordPress?

WordPress 4.9.6 update has made it super easy to add a Privacy Policy page on your website. The update allows site owners to designate a privacy policy page, which would be shown on the login and registration pages.

You need to manually add a link to your policy to every page on your website. A footer menu is considered to be a great area to include your privacy policy.

Moreover, the development team has created a guide that includes insights from WordPress and participating plugins on how they would handle personal data. These can be pasted into your site’s privacy policy to help you get started easily.

You can also add a privacy policy page manually. Below is how:

You can add a privacy policy page in WordPress by simply creating a new page and naming it Privacy Policy so that your users will immediately know what this page is about. For that, go to Pages > Add New in your WordPress dashboard.

Now you need to add the text for your privacy policy including all the information mentioned above. You can also use an online privacy policy generator or even use a plugin like Auto Terms of Service and Privacy Policy to generate the content for your website.

Also, add your own contact information and business name before hitting the publish button.

What is an FTP client and how is it used?

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is application software which is used to transfer files between a web server and a computer over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet.
