Dizze plugin **is net hifke mei de lêste 3 grutte releases fan WordPress** . It 
kin net langer wurde ûnderhâlden of stipe en kin kompatibiliteitsproblemen hawwe
as it wurdt brûkt mei resinte ferzjes fan WordPress.

## Beskriuwing

WP Getting Started replaces the WordPress Welcome Panel (the one you see on the 
Dashboard after a fresh WP installation) with a simple 4 step walkthrough: choose
and/or customize your theme, add pages and add posts.

At every page in the walkthrough, users get a short explanation of what they are
doing – for example what the difference between a page and a post is. When they 
have completed a step, they are automatically taken back to the walkthrough on the
Dashboard.

WP Getting Started is fully compatible with multisite networks, to give new users
an easier introduction to the WordPress admin interface, and is no more intrusive
than the original Welcome Panel in WordPress (further explanations only show up 
when the user follows the links from WP Getting Started).

This plugin is fully compatible with [Live Theme Preview](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/live-theme-preview/),
a drop-in replacement for WordPress’ native Themes interface.

This plugin only works with WordPress version 3.4 or later.

_This plugin is only freshly released, so use with care. Please leave any comments,
bugs or suggestion in the Support section of the plugin page!_

_If you want to help develop this plugin, visit the [GitHub repo](https://github.com/mgmartel/WP-Getting-Started)._

#### Features

    The icons used in WP Getting Started come from the

## Ynstallaasje

 1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard at yoursite.com/wp-admin.
 2. Then go to Plugins > Add New and search for “WP Getting Started”
 3. This plugin should show up in the results, click “Install Now” under the name
 4. Click on “Activate” in the next screen

This plugin needs no configuration – just go to your Dashboard and follow the instructions!

## FAQ

  Can I add my own texts to this plugin?

Yes. There is no configuration panel (yet?), but the easiest way to do it would 
be to make a translation file (which can be in English still, of course) using PoEdit
or CodeStyling Localization.

Then load the textdomain (in a plugin or your `functions.php`):

    ```
    load_textdomain( 'wp-getting-started', ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_TRANSLATION_FILE );
    ```

  Why doesn’t this plugin also…

This plugin is still in its early stages, look at the version number. If you have
any suggestions, please let me know via email or the support forum of this plugin.

Or better yet, contribute to the [GitHub repo](https://github.com/mgmartel/WP-Getting-Started)!

  I think the texts you have put in are a bit strange, why isn’t it …

See the above..
