Idiot proof Wordpress backend for CMS

where to begin...
Personally a caching plugin wp supercache or w3tc
Twitter plugin, seo plugin all-in-one seo or the yoast plugin.
I use statsurfer gives me visitor stats
wp-backup to backup the database and site...

There are loads and loads of guides and recommendations I'm afraid!
 
it's very easy just how it is, you set up a role with limited access so they can't change themes, plugins etc. Try subscriber for starters...
 
How? If the theme is locked out, and you can go back to earlier revisions, then it's simple...unless your users really are stupid they can always put it right.
 
Ok, say I have a multi column layout. How can they edit each column individually without deleting the html tag thats makes them work as columns etc.

Is there like a multiple WYSIWYG textarea generator plugin that I can tie in with HTML tag class names? :)

Or am I over looking something.
 
ok, a multi column layout alters things considerably. which way are you achieving this, bearing in mind that "the loop" as wordpress calls it it usually only rendered once in a theme...

or are you having just one column for content and other columns as widget areas/plugins/whatever
 
If the content is quite simple you could set up a page template to parse it into columns for them.

Or you could use the columnist wordpress plugin which makes it more bombproof in the WYSIWYG.
 
The parsing? Not really I'm afraid, just PHP programming. I'd pull the content in to a variable first (you may have to do a custom wpquery for this, not sure), count the paragraphed sections, choose the midpoint where I can split the content and put it into 2 vars. Output those vars in separate column space.
