It's a handy companion for new and seasoned WP users. == Description == The [GuidePress plugin](http://guidepress.net "GuidePress") delivers WordPress video tutorials straight to the WordPress Dashboard. The GuidePress plugin is perfect if you are: * **A WordPress Novice** - With GuidePress you can quickly learn how to use WordPress by watching short how-to videos. This visual approach is a much a faster way of learning because you actually see how to do things rather than reading guides and figuring it for yourself. All the videos are cleverly organised and placed within the relevant admin screens, this means that you only watch the videos you're interested rather than watch them all in sequence. * **A WordPress Developer** - You can let GuidePress train your clients for you. Using GuidePress means that you spend less time explaining to your clients how to use WordPress. It also means that your clients learn at their own pace and will send you fewer support request emails. You'll need a subscription to use this plugin.

However if you are a WordPress developer then you can give GuidePress to your client and they can learn how to use WordPress at their own pace. = Why do I need to create a GuidePress.net account = Our video library feed is stored on GuidePress.net. The GuidePress plugin needs to log into GuidePress.net in order to pull the video library feed. = Why isn't the video feed hard coded into the GuidePress plugin = We are constantly adding new video tutorials to our library, sometimes daily. That's why it's more practical to separate out the feed so that it can be regularly updated. The GuidePress plugin will automatically pull the latest feed about once a week. This will occur in the background and you won't even notice it happening. = Can I manually update the feed = Yes, you can do this by going to the GuidePress settings screen. Please [follow us on twitter](http://twitter.com/#!/GuidePress_WP "GuidePress Twitter account") if you want to keep up to date with the latest video tutorials. = Why are there only a small number of video tutorials = GuidePress is quite a new plugin and that's why we're a little short on videos. However we are ramping our efforts to release more videos quickly. We'll also keep our videos up to date with future releases of WordPress. = Are the video tutorials available without the GuidePress.net branding = Yes, they are available if you sign up to our premium subscription. == Screenshots == 1.
