Sniffle Valve provides training and tutorials for a specific selection of WordPress themes and plugins targeted at the Do It Yourself beginner.

Helping people on the various forums is something that I really enjoy doing. Lets me give something back to the community.

But over and over again I see folks struggling to get the answers they need. A lot of responses are way over their head. Technical terms are used that they are not familiar with. Some give up in frustration.

This is where Sniffle Valve is comes in. Simple. Clear. Training and tutorials aimed squarely at someone who is just getting started with WordPress using GeneratePress, Elementor, and WP Show Posts.
