Easy WP Guide Released for WordPress 5.1

The latest version of one of my favorite WordPress resources, Easy WP Guide WordPress Manual, was released last week with updates for WordPress 5.1.

My friend Anthony Hortin has updated his Easy WP Guide with new screenshots and content for the new block editor.

As I’ve mentioned many times on this blog, since WordPress 5.0 was released in December 2018, there has been no official WordPress user documentation released.

While users wait for the official documentation to be published online, I’m pointing everyone, including our West Metro Detroit WordPress meetup and Metro Detroit WordPress meetup members to Hortin’s documentation.

Read on to learn more about the latest version of my favorite WordPress guide.
