Editorial Guidelines
At wpheadliner.com, trust is our most valuable asset. We understand that the WordPress ecosystem is vast and often confusing. That is why our readers rely on us for accurate, up-to-date, and unbiased information.
Operated by Jotrocket GmbH and founded by Andreas Weiss, our mission is to cut through the noise and provide clear, actionable advice for WordPress users. Below, we outline the rigorous editorial standards we follow for every piece of content published on our site.
1. Accuracy and Fact-Checking
The WordPress world changes rapidly. A plugin update can change a feature overnight. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that our tutorials, reviews, and news are factually correct at the time of publication.
- Verification: We verify technical claims against official WordPress documentation and developer changelogs.
- Updates: We regularly review our most popular content to ensure screenshots and instructions match the current version of WordPress.
- Human Oversight: While we utilize modern tools to assist our workflow, every article is written, reviewed, and approved by human experts before going live.
2. Hands-On Testing Methodology
We do not write reviews based on press releases. We believe in hands-on testing.
When we review a WordPress theme, plugin, or hosting service (like our own host, EasyWP), we install it on our test environments. We emulate real-world usage scenarios to see how the product performs regarding speed, ease of use, and compatibility.
“We don’t recommend products we haven’t tested ourselves. If a product breaks our site during testing, we will tell you about it.”
3. Unbiased Reviews & Affiliate Disclosure
To keep wpheadliner.com free for our readers, Jotrocket GmbH is funded through referral fees (affiliate marketing) and advertising. However, our monetization strategy never dictates our editorial content.
- No Pay-to-Play: We do not accept money in exchange for positive reviews. If a product has flaws, we highlight them.
- Affiliate Transparency: We clearly label articles that contain affiliate links. If you buy a product through our link, we may earn a commission, but this does not increase the cost to you.
- Product Selection: We recommend products that we believe are the best fit for our readers, regardless of whether they have an affiliate program or not.
4. Corrections and Updates
We are humans, and we strive for perfection, but errors can happen. We are committed to correcting errors transparently.
If you spot an error in one of our articles—be it a broken link, a technical inaccuracy, or a typo—we encourage you to let us know. We review all feedback and update our content immediately if a correction is warranted.
5. The “User-First” Philosophy
Every piece of content on wpheadliner.com is created with one question in mind: “Does this help the user?”
We avoid overly complex jargon where simple language suffices. We structure our guides to be beginner-friendly while providing depth for advanced users. Our goal is to empower you to build better websites, not to confuse you with technicalities.
