WordPress Glossary: The Jargon of WordPress

One thing new WordPress users struggle with is the jargon–what do all of these words mean?  To help, I spent some time digging around and found some great WordPress glossaries.  Here are four of them:

• WordPress Codex Glossary: This document is designed to offer definitions of various terms, exclusive to WordPress, that users may not be familiar with.
• WordPress Jargon Glossary: It’s easy to forget that in WordPress we use a lot of jargon, so the Marketing Team has created this document.  There’s even a handy PDF version.
• Make WordPress Core Glossary: The glossary from the Make.WordPress.Core contributor handbook.
• WordPress Glossary Terms for Beginners (by WP Beginner): Are you puzzled by strange WordPress terms or abbreviations? Are you looking for a WordPress dictionary that explains these WordPress terms in plain English? Then this is for you.

Whenever you find a term you don’t understand while working with WordPress, chances are the definition is in one of these glossaries.  Happy WordPressing!
