Description
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

3. Enhancing & Customizing Views

Status: Completed
Link: View course
Entry Moderation & Access

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.
