10+ Best WordPress YouTube Channels You Should Check Out

So what’s the deal with WordPress YouTube channels? Well, if you’re anything like us, the first step when you can’t figure out how to do something with WordPress is to find a tutorial. However, finding an adequate guide within the sheer volume of content available can be tough – even more so if you’re looking for one that includes appropriate visual aids.

That’s where YouTube comes in. Everybody knows it’s a fantastic platform for learning all manner of new skills, but it’s not always the first place a WordPress enthusiast would consider to check for tips or tutorials. That’s a shame, because there are plenty of WordPress YouTube channels out there, full of great content.

With the above in mind, we’ve sorted through the proverbial haystack for your benefit and compiled a list of our ten favorite WordPress YouTube channels devoted to our favorite platform. Let’s get cracking!

1. WPCrafter

WPCrafter is a popular channel (with 131k subscribers) by WordPress educator, Adam Preiser. This YouTube channel posts videos on everything from WordPress updates to How-to guides. You’d be able to find some cool videos on SEO, conversion optimization and eCommerce as well. But his channel is majorly focused on creating WordPress sites using page builders.

Unlike most of the WordPress YouTube channels in our list, WPCrafter offers more versatility. Also, Adam Preiser’s channel is one of our best WordPress YouTube recommendations for non-techies. WPCrafter publish in-depth, easy-to-understand video tutorials.

2. WebTegrity / Kori Ashton

Kori Ashton releases WordPress-related videos like clockwork, every Wednesday. Her WordPress YouTube channel has over 35,000 subscribers, and she covers topics including SEO tips, WordPress how-tos, and plugin roundups. Some of their best videos include a roundup of the best free responsive themes, a guide to making phone numbers clickable in WordPress, and a Revolution Slider review.

The team behind the channel, WebTegrity, also offers their WordPress-related services in real life, including classes – and considering the quality of their channel, we’d be willing to bet those classes are worth a shot!

3. Tyler Moore

Tyler Moore is the mastermind behind this eponymous WordPress YouTube channel. He regularly posts step-by-step web development guides (with an emphasis on WordPress) for his sizable audience of 305,000+ subscribers, and he takes pride in never skipping a single step of the learning process.

If you don’t believe us, take a look at his three hour guide to building a WordPress website in 2016 (which is admittedly the longest video on his channel).

4. WebsiteWizard.tv

Although WebsiteWizard.tv doesn’t bill itself as a WordPress channel, the guys behind the scenes sure do post a lot of content about the world’s favorite content management system. This modestly-sized channel (currently clocking almost 9,900 subscribers) was born in 2014 to help entrepreneurs, business owners, and freelancers improve their web development skills.

Since then, the channel has published several series looking at how to build WordPress sites, as well as the occasional feature-length guide. Aside from these, they’ve also covered SEO optimization tutorials and the ever-popular plugin roundup category.

5. WPBeginner

It’s hard for WordPress YouTube channels to claim a higher pedigree than WPBeginner, considering its parent website. As you might expect, this channel goes way beyond the basics when it comes to WordPress tutorials. Over 144,000 subscribers benefit from weekly videos covering all kinds of topics such as how to make a WordPress site private, setting automatic backups, and even creating wedding websites.

WPBeginner’s videos are short and concise, and most of them are based on preexisting articles – so viewers get the benefit of having a transcript of sorts available if they have trouble grasping any step.

6. UploadWP

Although its video thumbnails may look deceivingly like infomercial advertisements, UploadWP is an exceptional channel filled with in-depth WordPress tutorials. Its unassuming host has managed to accumulate over 14,000 subscribers thanks to posting several videos per month (although his upload schedule is a bit erratic), with an emphasis on WooCommerce-related content.

Some of the channel’s best hits include a top to bottom guide on setting up a WooCommerce page, and how to create a custom email template for your e-commerce endeavors.

7. Let’s Build WordPress

Martie is the name of the man behind Let’s Build WordPress, and the cartoon appearing in most of his video thumbnails is modeled after him. Under that colorful beanie, however, there happens to be a real WordPress pro who’s been hard at work creating tutorials since 2013.

Although he doesn’t post new videos as regularly as some of our other picks, Martie has nonetheless amassed over 19,000 subscribers, thanks to his channel’s wide range of topics. If we had to pick a favorite, we’d have to go with his guide to creating a portfolio website using WordPress.

8. WPTuts

WPTuts is a seriously slick (check out their thumbnails) WordPress YouTube channel, with an emphasis on guides for both the Slider Revolution and Visual Composer plugins. Their viewership is around 52,000 subscribers) – and what stands out at this channel is the highly specialized nature of some of their guides .

9. Ferdy Korpershoek

WordPressKing is another one-man operation, this time helmed by a photographer, videographer, and web developer. Despite his many responsibilities, Ferdy Korpershoek finds the time to create and upload multiple WordPress-related videos per month.

Ferdy is popular among his near-91,000 subscribers for his no-nonsense approach to problem-solving. Each of his videos is designed to help you solve a particular issue and boy, does he deliver.

10. Katrinah

While nowadays Katrinah is an independent web developer and designer, many years ago she used to work a nine-to-five corporate gig. Along the way, she taught herself all she needed to know about WordPress, and since 2012 she’s been helping others to learn too – from the basics to the highly-specific.

Katrinah has amassed nearly 46,000 subscribers, and while many of her videos are long-form (some clocking in at over two hours), many others are well under 20 minutes – so there’s something to cater to all types.

11. WinningWP

Through this great video collection, WinningWP channel provides a variety of guides for users that are just starting out with WordPress. From general to very specific tutorials, guys at WinningWP provide a handful of lengthy videos of around one hour of content, but you’ll also find quick tricks lasting for 2-3 minutes.
