Summary of this Tutorial:

Before asking for help know that anyone assisting you is most likely a volunteer since WordPress is an open source community.

To ask for plugin help you would go to the plugin’s page and it will have a support tab for the plugin.

Ensure you add as much information as you can in your initial question such as your WordPress version, plugin version, ect.

Add what you did and what you expected to happen as well as your hosting provider if you know it and any steps you have tried.

Allow for 24 hours to get a response as you don’t know which timezone the other person is in as well as their workload.

If dealing with a commercial plugin make sure you find the proper channels to ask your question as that will get you the best results.

While you are waiting for a response see if you can find a solution on sites such as WPBeginner.

2. Google XML Sitemap – Sitemaps are a way to tell Google about pages on your site we might not otherwise discover.
3. Google Analytics – Enables google analytics on all pages.
4. WP DB Backup – On-demand backup of your WordPress database. The WP DB 5. Backup hasn’t been updated in a while. An alternative is BackWPup and can be found here.
5. Platinum SEO or All in One SEO Pack – Automatically optimize your WordPress blog for Search Engines.
6. WP Super Edit – Get control of the WordPress wysiwyg visual editor and add some functionality with more buttons and custom TinyMCE plugins.
7. Sexy Bookmarks (Now called Shareholics) – Adds an attractive social bookmarking menu and related content widget to your posts, pages, index, or any combination of the three.
