24 sample cards from the WordPress deck
Sampled from the end of the deck, so these are different cards from the ones shown on the syllabus page.
What is the main functional difference between themes and plugins?
Themes control appearance and presentation, while plugins add features and functionality; functionality should live in plugins so it survives a theme change.
Name three categories of essential plugins for a typical WordPress site.
SEO (e.g., Yoast/Rank Math), security (e.g., Wordfence), and caching/performance; other essentials include backups, contact forms, and anti-spam.
Which plugin is the standard e-commerce solution for WordPress?
WooCommerce, which turns WordPress into a full online store.
What is Yoast SEO used for?
It is an SEO plugin that helps optimize on-page content, manage meta titles/descriptions, generate XML sitemaps, and provides readability and keyword analysis.
How do you install a plugin from the WordPress directory?
Go to Plugins > Add New, search for the plugin, click Install Now, then click Activate.
How can you install a plugin that is not in the WordPress.org directory?
By uploading its ZIP file via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, then activating it.
Why is it important to keep the number of active plugins minimal?
Excess or poorly coded plugins can slow the site, increase security vulnerabilities, and cause conflicts; only necessary, well-maintained plugins should stay active.
What is the difference between deactivating and deleting a plugin?
Deactivating turns off the plugin but keeps its files and data for later reactivation; deleting removes the plugin files entirely (and often its stored data) from the site.
What is the fundamental difference between Posts and Pages in WordPress?
Posts are timely, dated blog entries that appear in reverse-chronological order and support categories/tags and RSS; Pages are static, timeless content (like About or Contact) that stand outside the blog stream.
Do WordPress Pages support categories and tags?
No. By default, categories and tags apply only to Posts; Pages are hierarchical and use parent-child relationships instead.
What is the difference between categories and tags?
Categories are broad, hierarchical groupings (can have parent/child) and every post should have one; tags are non-hierarchical, specific keywords used to describe post details. Both are taxonomies.
What is a taxonomy in WordPress?
A system for grouping and classifying content; the two built-in taxonomies are categories and tags, and custom taxonomies can be registered for other content types.
What is the WordPress Media Library?
The centralized repository (Media > Library) that stores all uploaded files — images, videos, audio, and documents — for use across the site.
What are the four default image sizes WordPress generates on upload?
Thumbnail, medium, large, and the original full size; these dimensions are configurable under Settings > Media.
What is 'alt text' on a media image and why does it matter?
Alternative text describes an image for screen readers and search engines, improving accessibility and SEO, and displaying if the image fails to load.
How are comments moderated in WordPress?
Through the Comments screen and Settings > Discussion, where comments can be approved, held for moderation, marked as spam, or trashed based on the configured rules.
Which plugin ships with WordPress to combat comment spam?
Akismet, which automatically filters spam comments.
What is a Custom Post Type (CPT) in WordPress?
A content type beyond the default posts and pages — such as 'Products', 'Portfolio', or 'Events' — that lets you manage structured, distinct kinds of content with their own admin menus.
Which function is used to register a Custom Post Type?
register_post_type(), typically hooked to the 'init' action in a plugin or theme's functions.php.
What are Custom Fields (post meta) in WordPress?
Extra pieces of metadata attached to a post, page, or custom post type as key/value pairs, storing additional structured information beyond the main content.
Which popular plugin simplifies adding custom fields with a user-friendly interface?
Advanced Custom Fields (ACF).
List the five default WordPress user roles from highest to lowest capability.
Administrator, Editor, Author, Contributor, and Subscriber.
What can an Author do that a Contributor cannot?
An Author can publish and manage (including upload media to) their own posts, whereas a Contributor can only write and edit their own posts but not publish them or upload files.
What is a WordPress Multisite Network?
A feature that lets a single WordPress installation host and manage multiple sites, enabled via wp-config.php and .htaccess, and administered by a Super Admin through the Network Admin dashboard.
What this deck covers
The WordPress deck follows the Digital Marketing WordPress syllabus — 12 chapters and 34 topics — so questions land on material that is genuinely examinable rather than trivia around it. That works out to roughly 4.3 cards per chapter.
Answers are written to be recallable, not just readable — averaging about 135 characters, which is long enough to carry the reasoning and short enough to say out loud.
A deck like this earns its keep on the second and third pass. Read the syllabus first so you know the shape of the subject, then use the cards to find the specific facts that have not stuck.
