r/Wordpress covers the open-source WordPress software: themes, plugins, setup and troubleshooting. Its description notes that WordPress.com account and hosting questions should go to the official WordPress.com forums instead.

Where to ask

r/Wordpress

Best for: Self-hosted WordPress troubleshooting, plugin and theme questions.

Why it fits: Its public description: “The place for news, articles and discussion regarding anything related to WordPress, the open source software. Wordpress.com-related questions should be posted to https://wordpress.com/forums/”

Rules to know before posting:

• Posts must be related to WordPress; general blogging talk and links to your own site are off-topic.
• No promotion of products or services, including affiliate links.
• No “top 10 plugins/themes” list posts.
• No nulled software posts or discussion.
• No URL shorteners and no low-effort link posts.

• For general coding questions, see the coding-question page.
