From the lesson
“Welcome to WordPress Quick Fixes from WP Tutoring. Today: giving your site a real front page instead of a blog feed — one setting, no plugin, about two minutes.

- WordPress Pages Showing 404? The Real Fix
From the lesson
“Welcome to WordPress Quick Fixes from WP Tutoring. Your pages worked yesterday and today they say not found. We'll break a real site on purpose so you can see exactly why — and then fix it. Here's the good news: when every page suddenly says not found, the content is almost never gone. WordPress has just lost track of how your web addresses map to it.” Watch the full lesson →
- Yoast vs Rank Math — Which Should You Use?
From the lesson
“Yoast or Rank Math — it's the first real decision every WordPress site owner hits, and the internet argues about it endlessly. Here's an honest comparison, and a clear recommendation, in under ten minutes. First, the truth nobody leads with: for the core job, both plugins are excellent. Both let you control the title and description Google shows for every page.” Watch the full lesson →
- Stop Comment Spam — 3 Settings to Change Today
From the lesson
“Welcome to WordPress Quick Fixes from WP Tutoring. Comments filling up with junk? Three settings that ship with WordPress stop most of it, no plugin needed. Spam bots hunt for open comment forms, and a fresh WordPress site is wide open by default. First, hold every comment for your approval, so nothing ever publishes itself. Second, close comments on old posts — aging posts are exactly where spam piles up.” Watch the full lesson →
- Should You Update to WordPress 7 Yet?
From the lesson
“WordPress 7 is out, and your dashboard keeps asking you to update. Should you? Here is a calm answer, plus a safe routine for when you do. First, what you actually get. WordPress 7 is mostly about the editing experience. There are new blocks, and lots of refinements across the editor. The command palette takes you anywhere, right from the keyboard. Editing large pages is noticeably faster.” Watch the full lesson →
- Change Your WordPress Site Title & Tagline
From the lesson
“Welcome to WordPress Quick Fixes from WP Tutoring. Your site title and tagline are the two lines browsers and search engines show the world — and most sites still have the defaults. Let's fix that. The title and tagline follow your site everywhere. They're the text on the browser tab and in bookmarks. They're the headline Google typically shows for your homepage.” Watch the full lesson →
- Best Free WordPress Form Plugin
From the lesson
“Welcome to WordPress Quick Fixes from WP Tutoring. Four free form plugins dominate WordPress — here's an honest comparison and a clear pick, in a few minutes. First, the yardstick — four jobs any form plugin must do without asking for your credit card. Build a decent contact form without touching code. Reliably email you every submission. Stop the spam, without punishing real visitors.” Watch the full lesson →

Some WordPress problems don't deserve a course. You want the two settings that fix them and you want them now. WordPress Quick Fixes is six short, free videos that each take one common question — the homepage that won't stay put, the pages that suddenly 404, the SEO plugin decision — and answer it on screen in a few minutes, on a clean WordPress 7 install that looks like yours.
What you'll learn
The fixes here are the ones we're asked about most in one-on-one training, which is exactly why they're short: each has a real answer that fits in five minutes once someone shows you where to click. You'll set a proper static homepage instead of a list of posts, cure the "every page is a 404" panic with a permalink resave, choose between Yoast and Rank Math on the facts rather than the marketing, decide whether to update to WordPress 7 yet and how to do it safely, stop comment spam with three settings that ship in WordPress itself, and add the alt text that images need for accessibility and search. None of it requires a plugin you don't already have.

Who this course is for
Anyone who runs a WordPress site and has hit one of these six problems — which, in our experience, is nearly everyone within the first year. No experience is assumed and nothing here is technical. If your question isn't on the list, our written tutorials cover hundreds more, and the full WordPress Fundamentals course is the place to go when you'd rather understand the whole dashboard than fix one thing at a time.
