<p>Create interactive step-by-step introduction tours/tutorials/walkthrough guides for your admin users or content creators through a friendly user admin interface. Inspired by the <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/components/guide/" rel="nofollow ugc">Guide</a> Gutenberg component that pops up when you open the Block editor for the first time. Customize the default welcome message or add as many custom guides as you want. Maybe you are a WordPress agency or a freelancer who needs a simple and user-friendly way to showcase to your clients the cms options that you have built in the WordPress admin? Or you work with an editorial team and you want to make the publishing experience as easy and smooth as possible? This plugin will empower you to display custom welcome messages and tips to your admin users in a fun, easy and much more interactive way.</p>
<h4>Plugin Options</h4>
<p>You can create, edit and delete guides and add as many sub-guides (popups) to them as you wish via the Guides tab in the WordPress admin. You can choose whether to display a list of all the guides inside the post editor, page editor or only on a specific custom post type. If you wish, you can also remove or override the default WordPress Block Editor welcome tips.</p>

<h4>How it Works</h4>
<p>Navigate to the Guides tab in the WordPress admin and add a new Guide. You can then assign sub-guides (steps) to the guide you have just created. Just add a new guide and link it to the parent guide via the Page Attributes tab from the bottom right corner in the Block Editor’s sidebar. In this way, the latter guide will become a sub-guide to the first guide (parent guide) that you have created. Now, when you create (or edit) a post or a page in the WordPress admin, you will see a new “Welcome Guide” tab in the Block Editor’s sidebar, right under the Status & Visibility tab. Once you expand it, you will see a list with all the parent guides that you have created. When you click on a parent guide, you will see a tour with all the sub-guides that you have associated to the parent guide via the Page Attributes tab.</p>

<p>WP Getting Started replaces the WordPress Welcome Panel (the one you see on the Dashboard after a fresh WP installation) with a simple 4 step walkthrough: choose and/or customize your theme, add pages and add posts.</p>
<p>At every page in the walkthrough, users get a short explanation of what they are doing – for example what the difference between a page and a post is. When they have completed a step, they are automatically taken back to the walkthrough on the Dashboard.</p>
<p>WP Getting Started is fully compatible with multisite networks, to give new users an easier introduction to the WordPress admin interface, and is no more intrusive than the original Welcome Panel in WordPress (further explanations only show up when the user follows the links from WP Getting Started).</p>
<p>This plugin is fully compatible with <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/live-theme-preview/" rel="ugc">Live Theme Preview</a>, a drop-in replacement for WordPress’ native Themes interface.</p>
<p>This plugin only works with WordPress version 3.4 or later.</p>
