Millions of websites, from portfolios to eCommerce stores, have been using WordPress as their content management system over the past 13 years.

As a WordPress user, sooner or later you’ll have to face different challenges and you’ll most likely search for solutions. There are dozens of WordPress related questions online. You’ll find 2,030,000+ topics only on the official WordPress support forum. (source)

So we wanted to put together a list of resources for finding valuable WordPress help when you need it. We’ve focused on active WordPress forums, Q&A WordPress websites and WordPress groups.

Let’s get started:

➯ WordPress.org SupportForums

Probably the first place WordPress users search for help. There is a good chance that a thread about your WordPress related problem has already been started. So look for that. If not, you can create your own. As every other WordPress plugin, we have our own support room on WordPress.org for users who want to create WordPress forms with superpowers. Keep in mind that we do provide free unlimited customer support by email and chat to all CaptainForm users, regardless of the service plan they are on (free or paid).

Q&A WordPress websites:

➯ Reddit:

Also known as “The front page of the Internet”, Reddit is a popular entertainment and social news website where registered community members are able to submit text posts or direct links. It’s like an online bulletin board system. Registered users can vote submissions up or down, so the posts that generate interest rise to the top of the page. Redditors can submit and discuss content focused on a certain topic, and this is called a “subreddit”. You will find many subreddit topics from news to fitness, music, movies, even food. And of course there is a topic dedicated to WordPress, where we are also active. We want to get involved in the WordPress community, we are constantly trying to improve and certainly one of the most effective ways we can do that is by listening to your opinions.

Another popular subreddit is IAmA (“I Am A”) where a user may post “AMAs” ( “Ask Me Anything”).

➯ Quora:

Quora is a website that has a question and answer format. You can follow any topic on Quora, and your Feed will start to include its activity. When asking a question, you can tag it with one or more keywords. You can follow different questions or a tag, vote on the best answers and they will get to the top.

➯ WordPress Development StackExchange:

WordPress Development Stack Exchange is another question and answer website for WordPress developers and administrators. No registration required, it’s completely free. You can ask questions and post answers. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.
