You are not the first asking something similar, but as far as I know the only “manual” for WP is the Codex ( http://codex.wordpress.org ) which – I am sure – you already discovered.
It seems these developer guys are like my Inuit friend who has a signature at the end of his email messages that reads:
“Save the forest – write email” 🙂

Thank you for your answer. Would have been nice to have a printed copy, for when I have to wait in the drive thru, dentist, or where ever.

Using the search feature of the forums is a good thing. 😉

hi all,
at the moment (see POSTED: ….), there is one place that the manual can be downloaded. It is *very* out of date, but nevertheless, soemkind of a starting point.
I dont know whether the absence of a wordpress manual plugin is an unfortunate mistake or a deliberate effort, but i can say that an updatable manual willbe of *tremendous* help to all of us.
So right now use this, while i see if i can help in any way:

*You* can also (and will need to :-)) contribute similarly by using the services at

Hi all,
this is a subset of Codex – contains what most people need. (Hackers and pros generally don’t need manuals: they read code 🙂 ) Some images *are* missing, but the text about those topics should suffice. Whatever is in this is latest released stuff on Codex.
Its the *latest* snapshot of Codex (20-Oct-2006):

You’ll get a *whole lot* of ads on that page and a link; search “Download for free with FileFactory Basic”. That takes you to another page with still more ads. ITS NOT a malicious site – filefactory is just recovering their costs; search “Click here to begin your download”. That starts a normal browser download of the zip file.
HTH,
joe.
