Overview

The "Getting Started" page in the admin is all we currently have for in-plugin onboarding. This page needs to be updated and improved. Additionally, I'm creating a set of GravityKit Academy courses to help onboard and educate new and intermediate users. To support this effort, I'd like to embed these courses directly in the “Getting Started” page within the WordPress admin for GravityView. This would provide immediate access to helpful tutorials from right within the plugin.

Goals

  • Display relevant video courses inside the WordPress admin UI
  • Make onboarding easier and more guided for new users
  • Encourage feature discovery and deeper use of GravityView
  • Provide a persistent place for embedding future educational content

Proposed updates

1. Rename the existing “Getting Started” admin page

The current page may need to be renamed to reflect a broader purpose, such as:

  • “Learn GravityView”
  • “Onboarding & Tutorials”
  • “Start Here”
    Open to suggestions.

2. Update the page header

The current header shows an oudated image of Floaty. This should be changed to the GravityView plugin icon and standardized to be more in sync with how our other pages look inside the admin.

3. Add important links

Such as:

  • Documentation
  • GravityKit Academy
  • Build It guides

4. Add a new tab or section for "Courses" or "Videos"

5. Embed the following GravityKit Academy courses

Each course should include:

  • A video embed (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.) (optional)
  • A title
  • A short description
  • A link to view it on GravityKit Academy

1. GravityView Quick Start Guide

Learn the basics and get up and running fast
Status: Completed
Link: View course

2. Building a Business Directory

Build an app from scratch, step-by-step
Status: Completed

3. Enhancing & Customizing Views

Custom content fields, View types, filtering, etc.
Status: Completed
Link: View course

Entry Moderation & Access

Status: Planned

Beyond the Basics

Integrating with other GravityKit add-ons
Status: Planned

6. Make the page easily updatable

  • Structure it in a way that new courses can be added easily

Notes

This issue will be updated continuously as new courses are published or design iterations are made.
