Learn WordPress is a contributor-focused platform where various contributors create and share content. Often, contributors host their materials, such as slides or presentations, on personal platforms like Dropbox or Google Drive. This can sometimes lead to challenges when there are errors in the shared content, as the Training Team may not have access to make corrections or updates.
We often receive feedback about spelling mistakes or outdated content issues in our GitHub repository. However, for certain materials like workshops, content creators sometimes use self-hosted resources that we don’t have access to.
Store All Learn WordPress Content Resources in One Place
To address this, we are exploring the idea of establishing a centralised platform where content creators can upload their files.
This will help us ensure consistency and easier management of resources referenced in content. We will be able to modify outdated content and correct any spelling mistakes. Additionally, this platform will allow other content creators to use these materials for creating their own resources. Learners will also have easy access to these materials for educational purposes.
Some popular content hosting platforms that are commonly used include:
Google Drive – A well-known platform that allows users to store, share, and collaborate on documents. It offers real-time editing and integration with Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides.
Dropbox – Dropbox allows for easy file management and provides version control for collaborative work.
OneDrive – A widely used cloud storage solution that offers seamless integration with various Microsoft tools.
Box – Box offers secure file storage and sharing, as well as a variety of collaboration tools with good customisation options.
iDrive – It offers features like secure file storage, easy sharing, and the ability to track file versions.
We’d love to hear your thoughts on this! Which platform is best for managing documents easily, giving edit access to specific individuals, enabling guest downloads, and keeping files secure when needed? What content hosting services have worked best for you?

Seeing my work help make WordPress more accessible to a wider audience was a rewarding experience, and it motivated me to continue.”

Hi, I intended to translate content into Spanish. But the truth is that the automatic translation that Youtube currently offers of the lessons is of very high quality. More than enough to follow the videos. My question is, can you confirm that we want to make these translations?
Hi, We also think the translation using different tool is quite accurate these days. So, we are trying to automate this using plugins. Then we can do little adjustment manually. The process is still on the progress, so you can focus on other tasks we mentioned here.
