Best of Best WordPress Tutorials of 2021 on WPBeginner

2021 is about to come to an end, and it has been an unprecedented year.

Many people started new businesses to tackle the challenges caused by the previous year’s circumtances. A record number of users took advantage of WPBeginner’s free resources to launch their businesses online.

We are ever more grateful for your continued support, which provides us inspiration and energy to move forward.

To keep up with our tradition, in this article we’ll share our staff-pick of the best of best WordPress tutorials on WPBeginner.

We’ll also share an overview of 2021 from our CEO to gain some perspective and reflect upon the progress.

WPBeginner Recap 2021 by Syed Balkhi

If I had one word to describe 2021, it would be perseverance.

It was an incredibly hard year for many people, including me, but as the year comes to an end, I am proud of all that we achieved.

The most important personal lesson for me this year is that Family is the best gift of life. None of my success would be possible without the support of my beautiful wife, Amanda, and my family.

2021 has been a very productive year for our businesses. We accomplished a lot, and I learned a ton.

Note: I did a personal 2021 year end review on my blog that has more lessons and insights.

WPBeginner turned 12 years old, and after five years we now have a brand new website design that’s focused on content discoverability.

As part of the site design, we switched our WordPress SEO plugin from Yoast to AIOSEO, we added a brand new mega menu, improved our site search, saw massive site speed improvements, and more.

See the full case study of our website redesign process.

Our WPBeginner Engage community on Facebook passed 81,000 members, and it’s now the largest WordPress facebook group (it’s free to join).

WPBeginner YouTube Channel passed 262,000 subscribers, and we passed 27 million video views.

Our growth is a direct result of the incredible growth WordPress has seen. It is the world’s most popular website builder and is now powering over 43.2% of all websites on the internet.

Overall, our plugins are now being used by more than 19 million websites (compared to 15 million from last year). That’s a growth of over 333,000 new websites every month.

Since we have over two dozen premium WordPress plugins, I will only share notable highlights from a select few.

WPForms

WPForms is the most beginner-friendly WordPress form builder in the market.

This year, we became only the 9th plugin in the history of WordPress to pass the 5 million active installs milestone, and only the second plugin to reach 10,000+ five-star ratings!

Our growth is proof that WPForms is hands down the best online form builder in the market (both WordPress and SaaS).

This year we added over 300+ form templates, a new Square payments integration, Save & Resume addon for secure multi-page forms, dozens of workflow improvements including keyboard shortcuts, automation tools for process automation, and more.

SeedProd

SeedProd is our drag & drop website builder for WordPress used by over 1 million websites.

It started out as a simple coming soon page plugin, but last year we completely revamped it to add a powerful landing page builder that was not just easy … but also FAST.

This year we took another major leap forward, and SeedProd has become a full no-code website builder for WordPress.

Now you can use it to create completely custom WordPress themes using our easy drag & drop interface (no coding needed).

We re-built our custom RafflePress website theme using SeedProd website builder.

Our team also added content personalization features that allows you to dynamically replace any text on page to offer a more personalized user experience.

SeedProd already comes with over 150+ Pro templates, 2 million stock photos, and every feature you need to quickly build a custom website using WordPress.

2022 is going to be a HUGE year for SeedProd. If you haven’t tried it yet, then you probably should take a look.

AIOSEO

AIOSEO is the original all-in-one WordPress SEO plugin that we acquired last year.

Our team completely revamped the plugin, and this year we passed the 3 million active installs milestone.

We added several really powerful features that no other WordPress SEO plugin has including the most powerful Redirection manager (including full site redirects for easy site migration), an easy headline analyzer to help you boost CTR / improve rankings, a robust WordPress breadcrumbs solution for both SEO & themes, advanced local SEO for WordPress module, HTML + RSS sitemaps, granular schema / priority settings control for SEO professionals, and dozens of other powerful features.

With all the changes we have made, I truly believe that using AIOSEO will give you a competitive advantage and help you get higher SEO rankings in 2022.

This is why all of our businesses have started switching away from Yoast to AIOSEO, including most recently WPBeginner.

I believe our biggest advantage over competitor SEO plugins is that we’re actually practitioners. Our content sites get over 100 million pageviews per year, so we are prioritizing items that actually get results!

Not to mention our prices are fair for small businesses, agencies and web pros.

Sometimes it’s easy to get complacent with the legacy tools we use in our businesses, but as you go into 2022, I highly recommend giving AIOSEO a try if your goal is to improve your SEO rankings (here’s a link to the free version).

MonsterInsights

MonsterInsights is the most popular Google Analytics plugin for WordPress. This year we passed the 3 million active websites milestone.

The biggest news in the Google Analytics world this year was GA v4, and it received mix reactions from marketers. That’s because Google removed several important features in the new version that existed in the classic version.

As the largest Google analytics integration plugin in the world, this made it tricky for us to navigate our product updates.

We worked closely with the team at Google to launch our GA4 integration with improved onboarding while also allowing the Dual Tracking mode for our users, so you can take advantage of new GA4 features while also keeping the data points from Universal Analytics that GA4 doesn’t yet support.

As far as I know, we’re the ONLY solution in market that lets you do dual tracking.

We also launched our brand new Media tracking addon that lets you track video engagement inside Google Analytics with just two clicks, a no-code Google Ad conversion tracking for tracking paid ad performance, and integrations with AIOSEO focus keyword tracking, AffiliateWP, EasyAffiliate, and more.

Other Notable Plugin Highlights

OptinMonster, our flagship lead generation & conversion optimization toolkit, launched a custom domains feature that helps you bypass ad-blockers and improve website speed. Also the new campaign builder improvements are really solid!

WP Mail SMTP, the most popular SMTP plugin for WordPress, now lets you track open and click data from default WordPress / website emails. Crazy to think something this critical was NOT possible until 2021!

Smash Balloon, the most popular social feeds plugin, launched a new feed customizer with built-in templates for Facebook feeds. Similar updates are coming for the popular Instagram plugin in 2022.

Acquisitions & Investments

This year, we added several premium WordPress plugins to our family of products.

SearchWP is the most powerful WordPress search plugin that lets you fully customize the WordPress search algorithm without any code. We have exciting plans for it in 2022 (see the full story).

A portfolio of premium plugins from Pippin Williamson including Easy Digital Downloads (popular eCommerce plugin for selling digital products), WP Simple Pay (easy plugin for accepting credit card payments), Sugar Calendar (simple event calendar plugin for WordPress), and AffiliateWP (affiliate management plugin for WordPress).

This was very special for me personally because we use these plugins to power our business. I wrote a background story here.

In 2018, I created the WPBeginner Growth fund to invest and advise other WordPress focused companies.

All of our portfolio companies did really well this year.

MemberPress is the most popular membership and course platform for WordPress. We passed $1 billion in creator earnings of which $600 million was generated in 2021. It’s mind-blowing to see the impact we’re making.

Uncanny Automator is a no-code workflow automation plugin for WordPress. It’s basically Zapier for WordPress without the high costs. This year the team made major improvements and added integrations with Google sheets, Slack, Facebook, Instagram, and more.

Advanced Coupons team launched a loyalty program solution for WooCommerce. This plugin is a must have for all WooCommerce store owners because it lets you add features like Loyalty program, BOGO deals, Scheduled coupons, shipping coupons, and more.

We’re also in the process of wrapping up few more growth fund investments that will be announced in the new year.
