Let’s dive into it!

Best places to find WordPress training videos

I’ve gathered the best YouTube channels for WordPress users below. Between them, you’ll be able to find thousands of videos covering almost every aspect of WordPress, blogging, and building an online business. Best of all, they’re on YouTube, which means they’re all free!

So, if you’re ready to learn WordPress, check out these YouTube channels (ordered by their subscriber numbers):

1. Ferdy Korpershoek

• Best for: WordPress users at all levels, especially those interested in building an ecommerce website

Ferdy Korpershoek is a WordPress expert who has been making websites since 1999. He shares his expertise on his YouTube channel, offering detailed tutorials on numerous aspects of running a WordPress site, building an ecommerce business, and affiliate marketing.

2. Darrel Wilson

• Best for: Viewers who are new to both business ownership and WordPress

Darrel Wilson has been publishing WordPress tutorials and occasional WordPress news videos on YouTube for eight years. Some of his videos teach general WordPress and business management, while others provide specialized advice for users looking to build a business in a specific niche.

3. WPBeginner

• Best for: WordPress beginners seeking a mix of tutorials and WordPress news

WPBeginner is one of my favorite blogs about WordPress, and its YouTube channel is also one of the best resources for new WordPress users. The channel is home to over 700 videos about how to build a successful online business, with an emphasis on WordPress tutorials. You can also find videos about WordPress updates and other significant WordPress news here.

4. WPCrafter

• Best for: WordPress beginners OR users who are experienced with WordPress but not familiar with/interested in the coding side of things

WPCrafter publishes monthly tutorials to help you make the most of your WordPress website. Most of these videos are 10–15 minutes long, with occasional 30+ minute tutorials. You’ll also find some news videos here, though the focus stays primarily on tutorials.

5. WPTuts

• Best for: Intermediate WordPress users who want tutorials that allow them to maximize website functionality with little to no code

WPTuts publishes two short videos every week, focusing on all kinds of WordPress and web design topics. Most of these videos focus on code-free tools, but you can also find coding snippets to help you improve the WordPress experience.

6. WPLearningLab

• Best for: Beginner WordPress users who want a mix of reviews and tutorials

WPLearningLab features almost 1,000 videos focused on various aspects of WordPress. You’ll also see occasional videos about new developments in web building tech. And new videos are published almost every week, so you can subscribe for a steady stream of WordPress knowledge.

7. Web Squadron

• Best for: Users who want to learn about all aspects of web design and building a web design business, not just WordPress

Web Squadron publishes videos on most weekdays and has over 1,700 tutorials for web designers of all kinds. Most of these tutorials are under 10 minutes and focused on highly specific aspects of web design, with occasional longer video deep dives into subjects like SEO. You’ll also find a lot more tutorials about using code here than you’ll find on most of the others we’ve looked at.

8. Themeisle

• Best for: Beginners seeking tutorials on all aspects of WordPress, from working with individual WordPress functions/themes/plugins to creating a website from scratch

That’s right, we have our own YouTube channel! You can find over 400 tutorials here, divided into playlists for things like starting a blog, working with Neve and WooCommerce, and using free plugins to enhance your site.

Bonus: WP101

WP101 is a bit different from the other resources we’ve looked at so far. For starters, it’s a self-hosted website, not a YouTube channel.

WP101 also offers structured WordPress courses instead of one-off tutorials. Most of these are aimed at complete beginners, with a few courses aimed at intermediate users. New courses are released on a semi-regular basis.

Because WP101 offers full courses, it’s also the only resource on this list that costs money. You can try it for one month for $12 per month, sign up for a full year at $48 per year, or invest in a lifetime membership for $96.

Final thoughts on the best WordPress training videos

If you want to learn WordPress, the resources I’ve listed in this article are great places to start. You can sift through their archives and subscribe to their channels for a steady stream of educational content.
