WordPress itself does not include inventory management in core. It is mainly a content management system for pages, posts, and media. Inventory features are added through plugins, most commonly WooCommerce for online stores. With WooCommerce, you can track stock quantity, set low stock and out of stock thresholds, enable backorders, and manage inventory for simple and variable products. You can also control stock status, hide out of stock items, and receive email alerts. So, WordPress can manage inventory well, but only after you install the right plugin and configure it properly.

Elementor may not work with WooCommerce due to several common issues. The most frequent cause is plugin conflicts, especially if WooCommerce or Elementor is outdated or incompatible with other active plugins or themes. Another issue is using Elementor’s free version, which doesn’t support WooCommerce widgets—those are only available in Elementor Pro. JavaScript errors, caching issues, or incorrect template settings can also break product pages or prevent editing. Ensure both plugins are up-to-date, clear cache, and test by disabling other plugins or switching themes. Using Elementor Pro and compatible WooCommerce extensions ensures smoother integration and full design control over shop pages.

The basics of WordPress include understanding how the dashboard works and how content is created. WordPress uses posts for blog updates and pages for fixed content like About or Contact. Themes control design, layout, and styling of your site. Plugins add extra features such as SEO tools, security, backups, forms, and speed improvements. Menus help visitors navigate, while widgets add blocks like search, recent posts, or social links. You also manage users, roles, and permissions for your team. Settings control site title, permalinks, reading options, and time zone. With hosting and a domain, you can publish and maintain a complete website easily.

Install a local server (XAMPP/WAMP/MAMP/LocalWP). Start Apache + MySQL. Put WordPress files inside the local web directory (like htdocs). Create a MySQL database in phpMyAdmin. Open http://localhost/foldername and follow the WordPress setup wizard. After installation, log in at http://localhost/foldername/wp-admin.
