Our WordPress MeetUp community is mostly comprised of beginners and DIY'ers. We try to cover topics that will benefit beginner and intermediate users. We mostly function as a roundtable, where all community members can contribute from their experience and learn from each other. More advanced users are encouraged to join us to share from their knowledge.

Join the Divi Chicago Meetup Group for a presentation and discussion with Divi Chicago Member Nancy Mikyska. Nancy will present on how to leverage the new Divi Global Colors feature plus she will share some practical and tactical tips for building a website with Divi.

Join us for a virtual meetup and learn by sharing and engaging in the Divi Community! Bring your webcam and feel free to participate! Everyone is welcome here.

WordPress page builders are a common topic and interest in our community. We have many folks that feel strongly one way or another about this one or that one. Sometimes it even gets heated!

As our first panel meetup, we thought it would be exciting to have some of the more knowledgeable members of our group participate in a panel representing their page builder of choice.

We aren't looking to find "the best one," but it would be great to know how each one shines in its own way and what the future might hold for each page builder as Gutenberg evolves. And just for good measure, we included a Gutenberg panelist as well :-D

This is our first joint meetup between Montclair, Morris County, and Central Jersey WordPress meetup groups.

Our panelists for this evening include:

• Laura Byrne (Gutenberg)
• Cameron Barrett (Beaver Builder)
• Rachel Winchester (Elementor)

All are local members of our JerseyPress community.

Given the state of things in the world, we are going to take this meetup online for a while until things cool down. We will send out a link to all confirmed meetup attendees prior to the start of the event so you know how to join.

This meetup is intended for developers of all skill levels. Whether you’re a hobbyist or a professional, just starting out or a have multiple plugins under your belt, we have room for you.

At last month's General Meetup, Steve Zehngut mentioned that he uses a service called Buddy (https://buddy.works/) for deployments and other automation. He has graciously offered to show us some of the features of the platform and how they use it.

Note: If you have questions or topics outside of the main topic, don’t worry, you won’t leave without the chance to talk about them.

Appleton WordPress

Online vs. In-Person TBD - will have a final decision by the 1st of the month.

Meeting schedule:
8:15 - Check in (CST/UTC-5)
8:30 - Ideas, Q&A, etc

If you have a question that might need significant time, feel free post to the Slack group or get a hold of Dani before the meeting and we'll make sure you get to address the group early in the round table period.

For the foreseeable future, the WordPress Help Desk will be moved online. These events have worked well for the past couple of months, and many people have fixed their website during a 1-on-1 WordPress Help Desk call.

To schedule a 1-on-1 WordPress Help Desk call, simply use the calendar found here: https://optsus.com/wp-help-desk/

Confused? Please read this entire description including the TLDR and FAQ sections to clear up any confusion about changes as this event moves from in-person to online.

Bring your laptop because we are going to help you with your website!

Are you trying to figure out how to fix your website using only YouTube videos?

Frustrated by support forum posts that are dated from 5+ years ago?

We will have at least one WordPress professional available to answer questions and help you work on your website.

We look forward to helping you with WordPress.

----TLDR----

I'm adding to the description because a couple of people have been confused by these events. The link above is for you to schedule the WordPress Help Desk 1-on-1 call. The available times are generally from 9 AM until 10 AM, which is why this event is scheduled for that time. However, this is not a group call.

When the world shifted to hosting events from home, back in March, I tested this as a group call. As people received answers for their questions about WordPress, they left the call. This frustrated the people who had to wait and listen to the other questions and answers during the call. I don't want to waste everyone's time in this way.

At an in-person event, it's possible to work in a group and ask questions as they come up. However, this does not transition into a video conference call very well. Instead, I have opened up my calendar to schedule 1-on-1 calls using the link above. We will focus on the one question you have about your website.

The reason this event is reoccurring here on Meetup is to let you know the WordPress Help Desk events are still available. Before quarantine, this was an event hosted in Raleigh once per month for two hours. Now, this is a 1-on-1 video conference call scheduled for 20 minute blocks multiple times throughout the month.

There will be no link shared for a group call with this event. The WordPress Help Desk events have become 1-on-1 video conference calls which can be scheduled using the link above.

----FAQ----

Where is the link to join the call?
- If you are looking for a link to join a group call, there isn't one. These events have moved to 1-on-1 scheduled appointments. When you schedule your appointment, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to join your 1-on-1 call.

Why can't I get into the Zoom call?
- Please check the date and time in the confirmation email for your scheduled 1-on-1 call.

Why is this event repeating each morning, but there are no available appointment times this morning?
- These calls are scheduled in advance. If there is no time available today, you can book your call for the next available time.

What is the point of having these events on Meetup if we are scheduling 1-on-1 calls with another calendar?
- These events were held in-person with 20 - 50 people attending once per month. Unfortunately, hosting large group in-person events like this would be irresponsible right now. We tried hosting group calls some weeks ago and those did not go well. In a group call, one person has their question addressed while the others wait. After that one person gets the answer to their question, they drop off the call. The other people on the call feel ignored and become frustrated because they spend most of their time waiting. To solve this problem, we are now scheduling brief 1-on-1 calls to work directly on your WordPress question without the wait. The Meetup events are published to remind you that these Help Desk events are still available to help you with your website.

WordPress Happiness Bar

This is the place to come for learning and getting help over a hurdle. Bring be ready to share your question or help others with their questions. No question is too small.

This Meetup is intended for a wide range of users. Whether you're a brand-new WordPress novice, a creative designer, an experienced blogger, a SEO and analytics expert, or even an advanced developer...all are welcome. We're all here to learn and share in this volunteer-run WordPress community.

Are you working on a project - your own or a client - and having challenges? Do you have an idea for your WordPress site, and you don't even know where to begin to implement it? Are you curious what themes or plugins to choose? Are you wrestling with your page builder? Do you need a better website host? This is the Meetup is for you!

If you don't need help, please join us anyway! There's always something to learn and perhaps you'll want to add your experience to the conversation.

The Meetup is 2 hours long and starts on time. Please join the meetup at the scheduled time (6:00 PM Pacific) by going to the Zoom link provided when you RSVP. For added security, we're not going to display the link publicly so you'll need to RSVP to see it.

The Block Editor (AKA Gutenberg) has made huge strides since its debut in 2017. With so many blocks to choose from, which are the most vital ones to have in your content creation arsenal? Pick up indispensable tips and tricks for yourself and your clients.

Our presenter will be Laura Byrne, who is the Content Team Lead for Bet Hannon Business Websites. Laura lives in New Jersey and is an active co-organizer in her local WordPress Meetup.

Are you currently using Elementor and wonder if you’re getting the most out of it? Curious about the difference between the free and paid versions (i.e is the paid version worth it)? Or are you using another page builder and want to see what all the hype is about regarding Elementor?

Join us for this meetup where we’ll discuss all things Elementor. We’ll touch on features of the free and paid versions as well as additional add-ons, themes, starter sites, and templates.

Bio:
Based in Pittsburgh, Rene is a digital strategist and website magician who loves helping creative, service-based businesses develop their online presence.

Continuing with our long-term WordPress website project, we need to take a step back and plan what content we're going to have and how it will be organized. It will make things a lot easier down the line.

As usual, we'll have some time for open discussions and site reviews.

See you there!

AGENDA
7:00-7:20 – Intros and news
7:20-8:00 – Planning our taxonomy and content.
8:00-8:30 – Site reviews and open discussion

Many business leaders have aspirational goals and initiatives to increase diversity and extend opportunity yet miss the mark in recruiting all of the best and the brightest.

Employers factor out immigrant students during recruitment or hiring unintentionally and as a result miss out on candidates who offer diversity of thought and experience that can’t be found in other backgrounds. Students born in one country and raised in another inhabit multiple cultures and move between different environments and communities in seamless ways that bring unique insight to products and services and a unique work ethic to job positions.

Let my experience on both sides of the table - being hired and being part of the hiring process - be part of your tool box as you work to achieve the diversity you aspire towards.

*We will host zoom meetings as the group begins. When it is safe to meet in person, we will determine a location and provide a hybrid online option.

Have something on your site that you're really proud of? Want to show off a new trick, plugin, block that you think is amazing? This is the meeting for you.

Got something that is broken and you can't figure it out? Want to show something on your site that just isn't right and has been bugging you? Share it in the meeting and we'll help solve it (or empower you to abandon it).

Rules for the night:
• This is an online meeting so be prepared to share your screen or a url if you want us to look at your site as an example.
• Send a note in the chat that you would like to share.
• All participants must remain positive and supportive. Everyone "likes" different things so we are working to help the presenter achieve their goals...not ours.
• It is great to promote things that you like but please no sales pitches or promotion of products that you financially benefit from.
• We'll cap each topic to 10 minutes so that others have a chance to present to/ask the group.

Join us for our virtual March Los Angeles WooCommerce Meetup. Get ready to discuss any WooCommerce related topics that are on your mind. Maybe it's a cool plugin you've discovered, a particular challenge you're facing or a topic you are passionate about. Don't be shy! This is a chance for all of us to share and learn from each other.

We've rounded up a panel of WooCommerce professionals to share their ninja level advice. We will be joined by special guests from Automattic, Jonathan Wold, the Community Lead for WooCommerce, and Amy Perry, WooCommerce Community Wrangler.

Andrew Behla from Behla Design and Sean Conklin from Coded Commerce who will help facilitate the discussion. All levels of expertise are welcome and encouraged.

Please let us know if there are any topics you'd like to discuss or any you'd like to present on for this or future meetups.

Don't miss this special event. We look forward to seeing you online soon!

Hello WordPress Geeks!

The World is still playing in this wonderful virtual space. How many meetups around the globe have you been to this week? Why don't you add Santa Barbara, CA and join in our geekery!

Are you working on a project, your own or a client's, and you're having some challenges? Do you have an idea for your WordPress site and you don't even know where to begin to implement it? Well, this Meetup is for you! Bring your project and we'll look at your sticky parts or help you strategize how to move forward with your ideas.

Get Inspired

In these interesting times getting online is essential, especially for your "non-essential" business. We can brainstorm ways to get online technically AND creatively with WordPress.

Gain Clarity

Sometimes knowing where to begin is just too overwhelming. When you gain more clarity and focus on what you want to achieve, it's easier to look for options. Bring your big WordPress Dreams and let's see if we can help you find the first step to implementing them.

Squash the Bugs

Are you stuck? Something isn't working the way everyone else says it should. You've spent days and lost hair trying to figure it out. Maybe a few more pairs of eyes and extra brain power can help you. Bring you're buggy situations and let's see if we can fumigate your issue!

The Meetup is 2 hours long. Depending on number of participants and issues not everyone may get help for their specific issue. So, I will go in the order of RSVP's. Isn't that incentive for you to grab your spot now?

For the foreseeable future, the WordPress Help Desk will be moved online. These events have worked well for the past couple of months, and many people have fixed their website during a 1-on-1 WordPress Help Desk call.

There will be no link shared for a group call with this event. The WordPress Help Desk events have become 1-on-1 video conference calls which can be scheduled using the link above.

----FAQ----

Where is the link to join the call?
- If you are looking for a link to join a group call, there isn't one. These events have moved to 1-on-1 scheduled appointments. When you schedule your appointment, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to join your 1-on-1 call.

Why can't I get into the Zoom call?
- Please check the date and time in the confirmation email for your scheduled 1-on-1 call.

Why is this event repeating each morning, but there are no available appointment times this morning?
- These calls are scheduled in advance. If there is no time available today, you can book your call for the next available time.

What is the point of having these events on Meetup if we are scheduling 1-on-1 calls with another calendar?
- These events were held in-person with 20 - 50 people attending once per month. Unfortunately, hosting large group in-person events like this would be irresponsible right now. We tried hosting group calls some weeks ago and those did not go well. In a group call, one person has their question addressed while the others wait. After that one person gets the answer to their question, they drop off the call. The other people on the call feel ignored and become frustrated because they spend most of their time waiting. To solve this problem, we are now scheduling brief 1-on-1 calls to work directly on your WordPress question without the wait. The Meetup events are published to remind you that these Help Desk events are still available to help you with your website.

Here is your opportunity to pick the brain of Developer Advocate for WooCommerce, Allen Smith.

What is Allen's expertise at Woo?

Ask him about:

Developer resources, documentation, and tooling
Current Woo engineering priorities
Where to go for help with (fill in the blank)

If we keep to these topics, you will get your answers. We will be on a live feed where you can watch, listen and send your questions through.

We'll go over the official Google WordPress Plugin that gives you information from your Google Search Console, Analytics, PageSpeed Insights & AdSense. No need to guess or visit each platform individually.
You'll see a full picture overview plus ability to see how a specific page is doing directly in the WordPress Admin Bar! You must register for the event to see the Zoom Link.

Learn WordPress Tips & Techniques every month! We are currently meeting virtually every month in Zoom. Be sure to register so you will receive the Zoom link.

Note: This month's Meetup will take place online, via Zoom. Those who RSVP will have access to the meeting. (The link will be available the week of the meeting.)

While Divi has many options and settings to customize a website, it doesn't have everything. A basic knowledge of CSS can help you make a site stand out and speed up your web design process.

For March's topic we'll have a brief overview of using the Inspect tool, when you should use a child theme, as well as practical examples of commonly used CSS customizations.

If you've never used a browser's Inspect tool, Elegant Themes had an overview a couple of weeks ago. https://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/wordpress/browsers-inspect-element-tool

This meetup is all about helping Elementor users of every skill level to learn more about how they can easily build beautiful WordPress websites.

*** MEETUP OVERVIEW ***

• INTRODUCTIONS & GREETINGS

• SPEED UP YOUR SLOW ELEMENTOR WEBSITE (PART 1)

In Part 1 of this series, we'll cover the basics of what you can do to optimize your Elementor website for speed and introduce some best practices for going forward.

• FREE ELEMENTOR HELP SESSION

*******************************************

We'll be meeting using Zoom. See the link when you RSVP.

We are all looking forward to seeing you online!

*Space is limited to the first 50 attendees that enter using Zoom.
**Please note that this session will be recorded and shared with you after the session is terminated.

For more information: [masked]

Donata Stroink-Skillrud and Hans Skillrud from Termageddon will be presenting on what ALL website owners need to know about online privacy laws!

Donata is a licensed attorney and Certified Information Privacy Professional. She also serves as the Vice-Chair of the American Bar Association’s ePrivacy Committee and the Chair of the Chicago Chapter of the International Association of Privacy Professionals.

Did you know that merely having an analytics tool on your website means your site has to have a privacy policy?

Do you know what state, federal, and international laws your website is required to comply with regardless of where your business is located?

In summary, we'll cover important information about privacy laws and how they affect your website:

- Avoid massive fines and lawsuits
- Limit your liability
- Keep control of your website
- Protect your intellectual-property
- Ensure legitimacy to your website visitors

The format will be a presentation followed by Q&A.

ONLINE ZOOM EVENT

Do you have a WordPress website and have an issue you need help with? Bring it to the workshop and the Inland Empire WordPress group will do their best to help you through it. IEWP Workshops encourages EVERYONE to attend, female or male, old or young, beginner/intermediate/advanced. Those more advanced can help others. We'll keep the introductions and announcements minimal so you can dive right in and get some help. There is no question that is too basic. We're here for you!

We'll still be meeting on the 2nd Thursday of every month on Zoom at 7pm. We look forward to seeing you!

When you RSVP, we'll be trying to find enough helpers to help...so if you can't attend, let us know sooner, rather than later. Thanks!

FYI: Make sure you have admin access to your WordPress site. If someone else set up your site for you, make sure they give you admin access. You'll need it.

Join us to weigh in on some strategies for moving forward as a primarily online meetup group, at least for the foreseeable future.

We'll also consider some options for topics and format, including a schedule of interactive micro and/or mini lessons -- I have a few that are ready to go on (for example) "WordPress and the LAMP stack" and "tweaking CSS via the Customizer" -- suggest a topic, or (even better) volulnteer to offer something!

In this meet you'll learn about using the MVC (Model, View, Controller) development pattern in your WordPress theme. We will be using the Sage theme by roots along with the Eloquent ORM from Laravel and the Phinx migration system during this demonstration. There will be a repo available with demo code available for you to follow along at the following link https://github.com/BrightThought/wpmeetupexample and will be completely updated for the meetup. This meetup is functioning with the assumption that you have experience creating custom themes, solid knowledge of PHP, and have familiarity for using a CLI and composer.

Our speaker, Erik Thomas, is a Senior Web Developer for Nearby Creative. He builds custom web solutions using the PHP framework Laravel creating e-commerce platforms and mobile application APIs. Along with his PHP skills he works extensively with NodeJS, React and Typescript to build front end solutions as well as scripts for clients to manipulate and better understand their data in both MySQL and Mongo databases. When not working his full-time job he does freelance work building custom WordPress themes for clients that require third-party integrations and more particular level of customization.

Have questions or problems related to WordPress, WooCommerce, plugins, themes, or Google Analytics?

This virtual WordPress Helpdesk & Hacking Meetup is a great opportunity to hang out with other WordPress users, get questions answered, maybe help others, and even work on your projects alongside other members.

Q: What if I don't have questions or problems?

A: You should still attend - you may be able to help someone else, or simply get the benefit of working on your projects with like-minded folks.

Q: I don't know much about WordPress - can I still come?

A: Absolutely, ALL skill and experience levels are welcome!

This Meetup occurs via Zoom. Topics will be posted here each month.

Please find the Zoom link on this event page after you RSVP. You will be asked to register and then will be aded to the Waiting Room of the Zoom meeting and admitted at 6 pm.

To help our Zoom moderators, please add a bio to your Meetup.com Profile, so we have some sense of you as a real user of WordPress and not a spammer:

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, all our Meetups are online-only.
__________________________________________________

In this Meetup we'll show you how to IDENTIFY, RESOLVE and PREVENT some of the most common WordPress errors. You'll learn troubleshooting techniques, useful debugging tools and valuable resources to help you fix your site.

We'll discuss various types of errors, including:

- Security errors
- WordPress errors
- Hosting problems
- HTTP errors

We'll cover as much as we can and save time for your questions.

We hope you'll come away from this presentation with more confidence in your ability to solve any WordPress problems you encounter in the future.

For the foreseeable future, the WordPress Help Desk will be moved online. These events have worked well for the past couple of months, and many people have fixed their website during a 1-on-1 WordPress Help Desk call.

To schedule a 1-on-1 WordPress Help Desk call, simply use the calendar found here: https://optsus.com/wp-help-desk/

Confused? Please read this entire description including the TLDR and FAQ sections to clear up any confusion about changes as this event moves from in-person to online.

Bring your laptop because we are going to help you with your website!

Are you trying to figure out how to fix your website using only YouTube videos?

Frustrated by support forum posts that are dated from 5+ years ago?

We will have at least one WordPress professional available to answer questions and help you work on your website.

We look forward to helping you with WordPress.

----TLDR----

I'm adding to the description because a couple of people have been confused by these events. The link above is for you to schedule the WordPress Help Desk 1-on-1 call. The available times are generally from 9 AM until 10 AM, which is why this event is scheduled for that time. However, this is not a group call.

When the world shifted to hosting events from home, back in March, I tested this as a group call. As people received answers for their questions about WordPress, they left the call. This frustrated the people who had to wait and listen to the other questions and answers during the call. I don't want to waste everyone's time in this way.

At an in-person event, it's possible to work in a group and ask questions as they come up. However, this does not transition into a video conference call very well. Instead, I have opened up my calendar to schedule 1-on-1 calls using the link above. We will focus on the one question you have about your website.

The reason this event is reoccurring here on Meetup is to let you know the WordPress Help Desk events are still available. Before quarantine, this was an event hosted in Raleigh once per month for two hours. Now, this is a 1-on-1 video conference call scheduled for 20 minute blocks multiple times throughout the month.

There will be no link shared for a group call with this event. The WordPress Help Desk events have become 1-on-1 video conference calls which can be scheduled using the link above.

Join us for a casual time of hanging out and discussing all things WordPress.

Hi friends, let's get together and catch up and share what we have created since we last met up. There have also been a few new features released recently that we can go over and talk about more. Look forward to seeing you all!

The coronavirus pandemic changed how we do everything in 2020. Work, learn, entertain ourselves, buy food, shop. People spent more and more of their lives online this past year.

If your business (and your clients) wasn’t ready to handle those changes with a good website, or you weren’t online at all, you probably found yourself scrambling to adjust when the pandemic hit. Here are just a few of the reasons why it is clear that we all need better websites.

Plus...

Do you know what to ask your prospective client once you make contact? A website design questionnaire is your first step to planning a project. It helps you get a clear understanding of what the client wants, but more importantly — it helps the client understand what they want. Learn what questions to ask your client to start your website design project on the right foot.

Search Engine Optimization is a priority for every website. However, truly optimized websites are built from the group-up to:

Provide a great experience for the user;

Tell Google what it needs to know to suggest your site to the right people;

Load quickly. (Google is increasingly focused on page speed as a sign of site relevance and domain authority.)

With Divi and the right plug-ins, building for the future of holistic SEO is possible and even easy.

Join us at 6:30 pm central on March 16th to learn how to make your Divi website built for search

Learn about the SEO plug-ins you need to be using (that play well with Divi)

Learn how you can build your pages for search, with proper headings and organization

Optimize the speed of your site, and the images you choose, for Google Pagespeed Insights

Get answers to any DIVI-related question or project roadblock when we open the floor for collaborative problem-solving. DIVI DFW is about community and support, so everyone can feel safe and supported when asking for help.

See you on March 16th!
-Divi DFW

WHO WE ARE:
We are the Divi DFW Meetup group, serving the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Yeehaw!

WHAT WE DO:
Meet up and create epic website designs with Divi.
Don't worry if you don't know what Divi is and how to use it, we'll teach you.

WHY WE DO IT:
Because we love Divi and want to tell the world how to make beautiful WordPress Websites.

WHAT EXACTLY WE DO:
Meet other Divi and WordPress Enthusiasts.
Learn the newest tricks and tips to build beautiful websites.

WHEN AND WHERE:

Topic: Do you want to learn how to easily create custom post types in WordPress?

Custom post types transform a WordPress site from a blogging platform into a powerful Content Management System (CMS). Basically, they allow you to go beyond posts and pages by creating different content types for your website.

Many popular WordPress plugins already use custom post types to store data on your WordPress website. The following are a few top plugins that use custom post types: WooCommerce, WPForms, and MemberPress.

This frustrated the people who had to wait and listen to the other questions and answers during the call. I don't want to waste everyone's time in this way.

At an in-person event, it's possible to work in a group and ask questions as they come up. However, this does not transition into a video conference call very well. Instead, I have opened up my calendar to schedule 1-on-1 calls using the link above. We will focus on the one question you have about your website.

The reason this event is reoccurring here on Meetup is to let you know the WordPress Help Desk events are still available. Before quarantine, this was an event hosted in Raleigh once per month for two hours. Now, this is a 1-on-1 video conference call scheduled for 20 minute blocks multiple times throughout the month.

There will be no link shared for a group call with this event. The WordPress Help Desk events have become 1-on-1 video conference calls which can be scheduled using the link above.

----FAQ----

Where is the link to join the call?
- If you are looking for a link to join a group call, there isn't one. These events have moved to 1-on-1 scheduled appointments. When you schedule your appointment, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to join your 1-on-1 call.

Why can't I get into the Zoom call?
- Please check the date and time in the confirmation email for your scheduled 1-on-1 call.

Why is this event repeating each morning, but there are no available appointment times this morning?
- These calls are scheduled in advance. If there is no time available today, you can book your call for the next available time.

What is the point of having these events on Meetup if we are scheduling 1-on-1 calls with another calendar?
- These events were held in-person with 20 - 50 people attending once per month. Unfortunately, hosting large group in-person events like this would be irresponsible right now. We tried hosting group calls some weeks ago and those did not go well. In a group call, one person has their question addressed while the others wait. After that one person gets the answer to their question, they drop off the call. The other people on the call feel ignored and become frustrated because they spend most of their time waiting. To solve this problem, we are now scheduling brief 1-on-1 calls to work directly on your WordPress question without the wait. The Meetup events are published to remind you that these Help Desk events are still available to help you with your website.

Please join us for our regular monthly meetup.

FEATURING:

Talk 1: Bud Kraus: "Working With An Elementor Template"

Templates save us time and effort to quickly stand up or modify a WordPress site. In this demonstration Bud Kraus will select an Elementor template and modify it to meet his design requirements. He'll also review how to use Theme Builder templates that can be displayed across the entire site or for just one page.

SECOND TALK WILL BE FROM OFFICIAL REPRESENTATIVE FROM ELEMENTOR! INFO COMING SOON!

The Olympia WordPress Meetup is a free, non-judgemental place for people of any skill level, interest, or background to come and learn, share, and participate in our amazing WordPress community.

You may register your attendance at this OlyWP Meetup site https://www.meetup.com/Olympia-WordPress-Meetup-OlyWP where we describe the meeting in more detail each month.

This Meetup announcement is made by Olympia Microcomputer Users Group (OMUG) http://www.olymug.org/ as the sponsor of the event.

With all the different ways to build a website, it can be hard to choose the right method. The popularity of page builders gives people even more options to choose from. Rachel “Win” Winchester, a product designer and WordPress specialist, wants to make this choice easier for you by sharing her journey with the popular WordPress page builder, Elementor. You can view her designs at visualwebmaster.com.

Rachel started her journey with WordPress 4 years ago to experiment with building websites. 2 years ago she started using Elementor pro to gain more control and versatility over her sites’ themes. The past year she has focused on user interface/user experience design (UI/UX) and product design while starting to build websites for clients. In this presentation, she will share her decision to start using Elementor, the pros and cons of building Elementor sites for clients, and how she plans to keep using it in the future for freelance work.

Following the presentation, there will be an open group discussion on Elementor where people of all experience levels are welcome to share their insights. What has been your experience with Elementor? Do you plan to stick with it?

This presentation is great for:

1. UI/UX Designers looking to build their mockups or prototypes into live websites without compromising their designs

2. Front-end developers, engineers, and coders curious about “code-less” products in their ecosystem that are sometimes seen as “competition”

3. Entrepreneurs and hobbyists without engineering, development, or coding experience who are looking for the best way to create a website on their own

4. WordPress enthusiasts who hear the words “Elementor” “User Experience” and “page builder” too often and want to know what the heck is going on

5. Anyone comparing WordPress page builders (Divi, Beaver Builder)

6. Anyone comparing Elementor to the Gutenberg block editor

7. Anyone comparing Elementor to page builders on other platforms (Wix and Squarespace)

By the end of this talk, you will be one step closer to answering the question: is Elementor right for me?

Managing Technical Debt within the WordPress ecosystem.

Come get an introduction to WordPress and get some questions answered. We start as a group to go over some basics, then split up according to what you need help with this month.

If you're an advanced user or WordPress professional looking for a chance to help folks, please come!

The WordPress block editor provides opportunities for creating complex content for WordPress posts and pages--but content creators may find configuring similar complex blocks again and again a cumbersome task.

Fortunately, WordPress provides two ways for easy access to pre-configured blocks and groups of blocks. Block Patterns are perfect for frequently used block configurations, while Reusable Blocks allow block content to be used in multiple locations on a site with central management.

This presentation will cover how to create and register block patterns and how to create and edit reusable blocks. We'll also discuss examples of where each can be used effectively.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Daisy Olsen has worked in and around the WordPress community since 2007. She has spoken at WordCamps in New York City, Boston, and Chicago. She also helped to organize the first WordCamp Boston in 2010.

Currently, Daisy works for Automattic as a Developer Relations contributor on the WordPress open source project. In her spare time, you'll often find Daisy listening to audio books while knitting. She loves to travel with her family and has often spent many weeks throughout the year visiting different places.

For over 10 years, the group has grown an amazing community that is always willing to share. Attendees regularly discuss website strategy, tools, design and development as well as building online businesses. This meetup is open to all user levels. Whether or not you are using WordPress, you will find something of value at this meetup.

To be decided

For the foreseeable future, the WordPress Help Desk will be moved online. These events have worked well for the past couple of months, and many people have fixed their website during a 1-on-1 WordPress Help Desk call.

To schedule a 1-on-1 WordPress Help Desk call, simply use the calendar found here: https://optsus.com/wp-help-desk/

Confused? Please read this entire description including the TLDR and FAQ sections to clear up any confusion about changes as this event moves from in-person to online.

Bring your laptop because we are going to help you with your website!

Are you trying to figure out how to fix your website using only YouTube videos?

Frustrated by support forum posts that are dated from 5+ years ago?

We will have at least one WordPress professional available to answer questions and help you work on your website.

We look forward to helping you with WordPress.

Welcome to WooCommerce Wednesdays in Coeur d'Alene! Our meetup is focused on helping store owners succeed. Whether you've got an idea or an established store you'd like some help with, we've got you covered!

We'll start off sharing our Woo Wins for the week and then jump into the weekly topic.

Our meeting this week will be virtual. Once you RSVP you'll have access to the Zoom link and we'll also send out the Zoom link via email shortly before the event.

Hello Reno WordPress Members,

As you know our meetup location has always been at the Reno Collective, which like everywhere else, has been closed these past three months. As of June 8th, the Reno Collective reopened to MEMBERS only. They plan to stay closed to the general public for the foreseeable future.

Secondly, the WordPress Community Organizers have set guidelines for in-person events, meetups, and WordCamps, especially where community transmission is still a problem. These guidelines are in effect through the 4th quarter of 2020.

Given the circumstances and temporary closure of our usual venue (The Reno Collective) and assuming there is member interest, we could move our meetup online.

Therefore if you think an online meetup would be advantageous, then let's do this. We will keep to our established schedule — fourth Wednesday of each month, 6-8 pm, except we'll meet online.

Ping us on Meetup if you have any questions.

Stay healthy and safe out there.

During our February meeting learning how to use Divi WooCommerce modules, our members wanted to learn how to create a unique shop page. During this meetup, we will learn how to build a custom shop layout using Divi theme builder. We'll start by reviewing how to style a few products using the Divi Woo modules on the default WooCommerce product page. We will then go to the Divi Theme Builder and learn how to style the shop page to organize the products in unique ways.

There will be an opportunity for us to share any shop designs we have created using the Divi theme builder.

Here is the schedule:
1. Introductions
2. Review of Divi Modules for WooCommerce Products
3. Use Divi theme builder to customize our shop page
4. DIVI Related Questions & Answers regarding your current projects
5. Conclusion & Summary of Our Discussion
6. Mingle, Network, and Departure

If you have ideas and suggestions for future topics let us know!

Have questions or problems related to WordPress, WooCommerce, plugins, themes, or Google Analytics?

This WordPress Helpdesk & Hacking Meetup is a great opportunity to hang out with other WordPress users, get questions answered, maybe help others, and even work on your projects alongside other members.

Q: What if I don't have questions or problems?

A: You should still attend - you may be able to help someone else, or simply get the benefit of working on your projects with like-minded folks.

Q: I don't know much about WordPress - can I still come?

A: Absolutely, ALL skill and experience levels are welcome!

We hope to see you soon - you bring yourself and we'll provide the coffee.

For the foreseeable future, the WordPress Help Desk will be moved online. These events have worked well for the past couple of months, and many people have fixed their website during a 1-on-1 WordPress Help Desk call.

To schedule a 1-on-1 WordPress Help Desk call, simply use the calendar found here: https://optsus.com/wp-help-desk/

Confused? Please read this entire description including the TLDR and FAQ sections to clear up any confusion about changes as this event moves from in-person to online.

Bring your laptop because we are going to help you with your website!

Are you trying to figure out how to fix your website using only YouTube videos?

Frustrated by support forum posts that are dated from 5+ years ago?

We will have at least one WordPress professional available to answer questions and help you work on your website.

We look forward to helping you with WordPress.

----TLDR----

I'm adding to the description because a couple of people have been confused by these events. The link above is for you to schedule the WordPress Help Desk 1-on-1 call. The available times are generally from 9 AM until 10 AM, which is why this event is scheduled for that time. However, this is not a group call.

When the world shifted to hosting events from home, back in March, I tested this as a group call. As people received answers for their questions about WordPress, they left the call. This frustrated the people who had to wait and listen to the other questions and answers during the call. I don't want to waste everyone's time in this way.

At an in-person event, it's possible to work in a group and ask questions as they come up. However, this does not transition into a video conference call very well. Instead, I have opened up my calendar to schedule 1-on-1 calls using the link above. We will focus on the one question you have about your website.

The reason this event is reoccurring here on Meetup is to let you know the WordPress Help Desk events are still available. Before quarantine, this was an event hosted in Raleigh once per month for two hours. Now, this is a 1-on-1 video conference call scheduled for 20 minute blocks multiple times throughout the month.

There will be no link shared for a group call with this event. The WordPress Help Desk events have become 1-on-1 video conference calls which can be scheduled using the link above.

----FAQ----

Where is the link to join the call?
- If you are looking for a link to join a group call, there isn't one. These events have moved to 1-on-1 scheduled appointments. When you schedule your appointment, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to join your 1-on-1 call.

Why can't I get into the Zoom call?
- Please check the date and time in the confirmation email for your scheduled 1-on-1 call.

Why is this event repeating each morning, but there are no available appointment times this morning?
- These calls are scheduled in advance. If there is no time available today, you can book your call for the next available time.

What is the point of having these events on Meetup if we are scheduling 1-on-1 calls with another calendar?
- These events were held in-person with 20 - 50 people attending once per month. Unfortunately, hosting large group in-person events like this would be irresponsible right now. We tried hosting group calls some weeks ago and those did not go well. In a group call, one person has their question addressed while the others wait. After that one person gets the answer to their question, they drop off the call. The other people on the call feel ignored and become frustrated because they spend most of their time waiting. To solve this problem, we are now scheduling brief 1-on-1 calls to work directly on your WordPress question without the wait. The Meetup events are published to remind you that these Help Desk events are still available to help you with your website.

There seems to be a plugin for anything you want to do with your WordPress site. With so many choices, how do you decide which to choose? There is nothing like real world experience so let’s help each other with that task.

Join the open discussion and bring the name of your favorite plugin (okay, maybe 2 or 3) to share in the discussion. You can also let us know the definitely-avoid-this-plugin if there is one of those on your list.

Even if you have no plugin experience, join us for the discussion among those of us who have gone through the trials and tribulations of finding the best tools!

Do you make your living using WordPress to create websites for other people’s businesses? This new Meetup is for you! We are not about themes or plugins, rather we'll talk about aspects of having a freelance business based in WP. We’ll discuss the successes and challenges of running a small business, share stories, ask questions, share tools & resources, brainstorm ideas and generally create community for those of us who typically work in isolation.

We normally meet on the first Thursday of each month from 10-noon at the Wallingford Good Shepherd Center, Room 221. It’s not far from the freeway and has free parking. We will be meeting virtually for the forseeable future.

PS – Please note that this Meetup is specifically for those with a freelance business that relies on WordPress and not intended for those who have their business website made in WordPress. There are many other Meetups for WordPress users.

Use this link to join the Seattle WP Slack Group (https://wpseattleslack.wordpress.com/) and then you can interact with the group in the Business Channel. We post all our Freelancer minutes on our website at: https://wpseattle.org/category/freelancers-meetup/

Please join our new FaceBook Group as well: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wpseattle

Let's learn from each other!

Join us to showcase your Elementor creations. Show off your creativity - and how you did it. We can all use a bit of inspiration these days.

And, if you're stuck on that one little thing that just won't work the way you want, we'll be here to help.

See you in the cloud!

The Zoom link will be posted the morning of the meetup.

This meetup is for people who have questions about WordPress and who need help with their websites. During our time together we answer questions and troubleshoot.

Please bring your laptop and any login information you need to access your website if you would like help.

We usually meet at the Jamestown Library but it can change so please check the Meetup Event to be sure.

See you soon!

The topic of this meetup has not yet been announced yet, but until further notice, all meetings will be virtual @ the following location: https://zoom.us/s/84153872304

This Monthly Meetup is for who are using (or looking to learn about) WordPress for blogging, content management, web development, running a business, e-commerce, and more.

Topics include blogging with WordPress, using WordPress to power your site, security tips, themes and plugins, and fixing and optimizing your site. Visit wpbuffalo.com for more information.

Our WordPress MeetUp community is mostly comprised of beginners and DIY'ers. We try to cover topics that will benefit beginner and intermediate users. We mostly function as a roundtable, where all community members can contribute from their experience and learn from each other. More advanced users are encouraged to join us to share from their knowledge.

We meet the first Monday of each month to discuss design and process-releated topics. Come with questions! All user levels are welcome to attend.

In March, we talked about how to create a staging environment and convert an existing site to Elementor.

In this session, we will discuss how to take that site live and all the details you need to pay attention to including:

1) Rewriting URLs in Elementor! Yes, in Elementor.

2) Clearing caches.

3) Considerations for new content on the live site such as new blog posts, comments, memberships, or WooCommerce orders that aren't on staging.

4) Alternative ways of "going live": Do you push your staging to live or do you copy your templates to the live site so as to not overwrite content on the live site, such as new products or orders? There are pros and cons to both, and we will deep dive into strategies.

5) Remember to set your Reading Settings, permalinks, Google Analytics, etc.

6) Other potential issues. Let us know when you register what problems you've experienced when going live.

7) If a new site, how to point your DNS if needed.

This Meetup will be great for those going live and needing to replace an existing site or going live with a new site.

Topics to be determined and announced prior to each Meetup, along with the Zoom link (must RSVP to see link)!

Please keep an eye on the day of the week as we may change to accommodate speakers' schedules. :)

The Auburn, WA WordPress Meetup Group is for any WordPress user – new or experienced – who wants to learn more about WordPress, network with other users and developers, and discuss all things WordPress.

The meetup will be a video conference due to ongoing social distancing. We will be using a technology called Zoom for the meeting. The meeting will start with everyone joining the video conference using video and audio on your computer or smartphone. If you aren't actively speaking, please mute your microphone.

The first part of the meeting will be a help desk collaboration that may either be everyone or breaking into smaller groups.

The second part of the meeting will be a round-table discussion of WordPress topics.

ONLINE ZOOM EVENT

Do you have a WordPress website and have an issue you need help with? Bring it to the workshop and the Inland Empire WordPress group will do their best to help you through it. IEWP Workshops encourages EVERYONE to attend, female or male, old or young, beginner/intermediate/advanced. Those more advanced can help others. We'll keep the introductions and announcements minimal so you can dive right in and get some help. There is no question that is too basic. We're here for you!

We'll still be meeting on the 2nd Thursday of every month on Zoom at 7pm. We look forward to seeing you!

When you RSVP, we'll be trying to find enough helpers to help...so if you can't attend, let us know sooner, rather than later. Thanks!

FYI: Make sure you have admin access to your WordPress site. If someone else set up your site for you, make sure they give you admin access. You'll need it.

Join us to weigh in on some strategies for moving forward as a primarily online meetup group, at least for the foreseeable future.

We'll also consider some options for topics and format, including a schedule of interactive micro and/or mini lessons -- I have a few that are ready to go on (for example) "WordPress and the LAMP stack" and "tweaking CSS via the Customizer" -- suggest a topic, or (even better) volulnteer to offer something!

Have questions or problems related to WordPress, WooCommerce, plugins, themes, or Google Analytics?

This virtual WordPress Helpdesk & Hacking Meetup is a great opportunity to hang out with other WordPress users, get questions answered, maybe help others, and even work on your projects alongside other members.

Q: What if I don't have questions or problems?

A: You should still attend - you may be able to help someone else, or simply get the benefit of working on your projects with like-minded folks.

Q: I don't know much about WordPress - can I still come?

A: Absolutely, ALL skill and experience levels are welcome!

Susan Langenes of Collage Creative will explain how she solved several usability and accessibility issues on rop.org using Gutenberg and a custom theme based on _s or Underscores, from Automattic.

Note: This will not be at our usual location, it will be an online event using Zoom. If you don't already have an account, you can sign up for free at https://zoom.us. You can download the desktop software, use a browser extension, or download the mobile app. If you haven't used Zoom before, please get set up and familiar with it in advance. We recommend you upgrade to the latest version. If you're using the desktop software, you may need to check for upgrades manually.

For added security, the Zoom link will not be public. You must RSVP to see it.

Along the bottom of the Zoom window, there are buttons to mute/unmute yourself, enable/disable your video, and access the Participants, Chat, and Reactions panels.

For security and to prevent interruptions, everyone else will be prevented from screen sharing during the meetup. Your audio and video *should* be off by default when you join the call, but you may want to double-check when you join. You can unmute yourself and turn on your video, but please note that you may be included in the recording. If you unmute yourself, please only do so temporarily, while you're asking your question. This helps reduce background noise in the recording.

If you have a question, please click the button to "raise your hand". Depending on your version of Zoom, this will be located in either the Reactions panel or the Participants panel. Our presenter will take breaks to answer questions, and our moderator will call on whoever has their hand raised. You can unmute yourself while you ask your question, and then mute yourself and lower your hand after you're done.

You can use the Chat panel to introduce yourself and converse with others, but if you have a question for the presenter, remember to "raise your hand". We won't be monitoring the chat as frequently, so questions there may be overlooked.

We'll record the presentation and link to the video in the comments once it's been processed.

If time permits, we'll open up the conversation after the presentation. We encourage people to converse in our Portland Slack group for general WordPress discussion at any time. You can join here: https://join.slack.com/t/wpportland/shared_invite/enQtNDIwMDY4MTQzODYyLTI4ZTcyMzVjOWRhNjI0YTNmNDg2NGI1N2I3Yzc2ZGI1NDg3NjQ1N2ExMzlkZDIzNDQxM2FmY2E0NWQwZGQ3YzM

Animations add visual excitement to a website. When used purposefully, they can highlight specific sections, emphasize calls-to-action, and provide visual direction or cues.

We'll talk about how to use animations in general, review the different types of Divi animations available, and how to customize their settings.

In this presentation, you'll learn:
- why you would consider adding animated segments to your site
- how to use the animations feature within different Divi modules
- how to use other types of animated effects, such as parallax images and scroll effects
- best practices when implementing animations from a design/UX perspective

She has been a front-end web designer at Marketing by Design since 2015, creating WordPress websites using the Divi theme.

Given the state of things in the world, we are going to take this meetup online for a while until things cool down. We will send out a link to all confirmed meetup attendees prior to the start of the event so you know how to join.

This meetup is intended for developers of all skill levels. Whether you’re a hobbyist or a professional, just starting out or a have multiple plugins under your belt, we have room for you.

We invite you to join us as we continue our exploration of building plugins for WordPress. If you'd like to share what you know, leave a comment and we'll give you the floor.

Note: If you have questions or topics outside of the main topic, don’t worry, you won’t leave without the chance to talk about them.

For the foreseeable future, the WordPress Help Desk will be moved online. These events have worked well for the past couple of months, and many people have fixed their website during a 1-on-1 WordPress Help Desk call.

To schedule a 1-on-1 WordPress Help Desk call, simply use the calendar found here: https://optsus.com/wp-help-desk/

Confused? Please read this entire description including the TLDR and FAQ sections to clear up any confusion about changes as this event moves from in-person to online.

Bring your laptop because we are going to help you with your website!

Are you trying to figure out how to fix your website using only YouTube videos?

Frustrated by support forum posts that are dated from 5+ years ago?

We will have at least one WordPress professional available to answer questions and help you work on your website.

We look forward to helping you with WordPress.

----TLDR----

I'm adding to the description because a couple of people have been confused by these events. The link above is for you to schedule the WordPress Help Desk 1-on-1 call. The available times are generally from 9 AM until 10 AM, which is why this event is scheduled for that time. However, this is not a group call.

When the world shifted to hosting events from home, back in March, I tested this as a group call. As people received answers for their questions about WordPress, they left the call. This frustrated the people who had to wait and listen to the other questions and answers during the call. I don't want to waste everyone's time in this way.

At an in-person event, it's possible to work in a group and ask questions as they come up. However, this does not transition into a video conference call very well. Instead, I have opened up my calendar to schedule 1-on-1 calls using the link above. We will focus on the one question you have about your website.

The reason this event is reoccurring here on Meetup is to let you know the WordPress Help Desk events are still available. Before quarantine, this was an event hosted in Raleigh once per month for two hours. Now, this is a 1-on-1 video conference call scheduled for 20 minute blocks multiple times throughout the month.

There will be no link shared for a group call with this event. The WordPress Help Desk events have become 1-on-1 video conference calls which can be scheduled using the link above.

----FAQ----

Where is the link to join the call?
- If you are looking for a link to join a group call, there isn't one. These events have moved to 1-on-1 scheduled appointments. When you schedule your appointment, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to join your 1-on-1 call.

Why can't I get into the Zoom call?
- Please check the date and time in the confirmation email for your scheduled 1-on-1 call.

Why is this event repeating each morning, but there are no available appointment times this morning?
- These calls are scheduled in advance. If there is no time available today, you can book your call for the next available time.

What is the point of having these events on Meetup if we are scheduling 1-on-1 calls with another calendar?
- These events were held in-person with 20 - 50 people attending once per month. Unfortunately, hosting large group in-person events like this would be irresponsible right now. We tried hosting group calls some weeks ago and those did not go well. In a group call, one person has their question addressed while the others wait. After that one person gets the answer to their question, they drop off the call. The other people on the call feel ignored and become frustrated because they spend most of their time waiting. To solve this problem, we are now scheduling brief 1-on-1 calls to work directly on your WordPress question without the wait. The Meetup events are published to remind you that these Help Desk events are still available to help you with your website.

Join us for a casual time of hanging out and discussing all things WordPress.

You can build perfect looking webpages but you need to do more than just make them look great. You need to optimize them for search engines and users alike. Your pages need a good technical foundation, great content, and a solid site structure. In short, you need SEO.

Elementor partnered with Yoast SEO to create a complete integration, giving users the ability to utilize the entire scope of Yoast SEO features right from within the live Elementor editor.

Plus...

Headings help users and search engines to read and understand the text. For example, they act as signposts for the readers and make it easier for them to figure out what a post or page is about. Headings also define which parts of your content are important, and show how they’re interconnected. Here, we’ll give you pointers on how to think about headers and use them to improve your content.

We will host zoom meetings until it is safe to return to our in-person meetups. A Zoom link will be generated before the meetup and posted to the event description page.

Want Help with your WordPress site, or want to help others?

This is the place to come for learning and help getting over a hurdle. Bring be ready to share your question, or help others with their questions.

NOTE: This Meetup will be online using Zoom. We will email out a password to the people that RSVP'ed yes before the event.

April was our first Help Desk Meetup via Zoom, so bring your smile and patience. We’ll do our best.

You can join our Zoom meeting either by computer, tablet, or cell phone. Once you've downloaded the Zoom app you can opt to join a test meeting to familiarize yourself with Zoom.

—— More About the Help Desk Meetup ——

Not Just Technical Help!

Our community is full of members with a broad range of expertise from building sites, to front and back-end development, hosting, strategy, UX and design, SEO and analytics, social networking, to project and business management.

Bring your non-technical questions and expertise, too!

Come Help Others!

If you don't need help, please come anyway! We want to add your voice, skills, and experience to the conversation. Besides, we just like your company! :)

Have fun sharing your thoughts, debating with your peers, and yes, marketing yourself and making friends as you help others over their hurdles.

Remember: if you've been doing WordPress for 2 days, you can help the person who's been doing it for 1 day.

For the foreseeable future, the WordPress Help Desk will be moved online. These events have worked well for the past couple of months, and many people have fixed their website during a 1-on-1 WordPress Help Desk call.

To schedule a 1-on-1 WordPress Help Desk call, simply use the calendar found here: https://optsus.com/wp-help-desk/

Confused? Please read this entire description including the TLDR and FAQ sections to clear up any confusion about changes as this event moves from in-person to online.

Bring your laptop because we are going to help you with your website!

Are you trying to figure out how to fix your website using only YouTube videos?

Frustrated by support forum posts that are dated from 5+ years ago?

We will have at least one WordPress professional available to answer questions and help you work on your website.

We look forward to helping you with WordPress.

----TLDR----

I'm adding to the description because a couple of people have been confused by these events. The link above is for you to schedule the WordPress Help Desk 1-on-1 call. The available times are generally from 9 AM until 10 AM, which is why this event is scheduled for that time. However, this is not a group call.

When the world shifted to hosting events from home, back in March, I tested this as a group call. As people received answers for their questions about WordPress, they left the call. This frustrated the people who had to wait and listen to the other questions and answers during the call. I don't want to waste everyone's time in this way.

At an in-person event, it's possible to work in a group and ask questions as they come up. However, this does not transition into a video conference call very well. Instead, I have opened up my calendar to schedule 1-on-1 calls using the link above. We will focus on the one question you have about your website.

The reason this event is reoccurring here on Meetup is to let you know the WordPress Help Desk events are still available. Before quarantine, this was an event hosted in Raleigh once per month for two hours. Now, this is a 1-on-1 video conference call scheduled for 20 minute blocks multiple times throughout the month.

There will be no link shared for a group call with this event. The WordPress Help Desk events have become 1-on-1 video conference calls which can be scheduled using the link above.

----FAQ----

Where is the link to join the call?
- If you are looking for a link to join a group call, there isn't one. These events have moved to 1-on-1 scheduled appointments. When you schedule your appointment, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to join your 1-on-1 call.

Why can't I get into the Zoom call?
- Please check the date and time in the confirmation email for your scheduled 1-on-1 call.

Why is this event repeating each morning, but there are no available appointment times this morning?
- These calls are scheduled in advance. If there is no time available today, you can book your call for the next available time.

What is the point of having these events on Meetup if we are scheduling 1-on-1 calls with another calendar?
- These events were held in-person with 20 - 50 people attending once per month. Unfortunately, hosting large group in-person events like this would be irresponsible right now. We tried hosting group calls some weeks ago and those did not go well. In a group call, one person has their question addressed while the others wait. After that one person gets the answer to their question, they drop off the call. The other people on the call feel ignored and become frustrated because they spend most of their time waiting. To solve this problem, we are now scheduling brief 1-on-1 calls to work directly on your WordPress question without the wait. The Meetup events are published to remind you that these Help Desk events are still available to help you with your website.

Welcome to WooCommerce Wednesdays in Coeur d'Alene! Our meetup is focused on helping store owners succeed. Whether you've got an idea or an established store you'd like some help with, we've got you covered!

We'll start off sharing our Woo Wins for the week and then jump into the weekly topic.

Our meeting this week will be virtual. Once you RSVP you'll have access to the Zoom link and we'll also send out the Zoom link via email shortly before the event.

TBD

TOPIC . We'll be looking at headers and footers, but mostly headers.

What do you include in your header? Are they sticky, transparent, change size, or disappear altogether? What else do you have besides a logo? These are some of the questions we'll be addressing.

SHOW & TELL. At the beginning of the meeting, please posts a link to your page in the Chat so we can see your header and/or footer. During introductions, we'll bring up your page for discussion.

WEBSITE HEADER. A website header sits at the top of each page and serves a few critical purposes. A header does more than provide a place for your logo and navigation; it is part of a consistent user experience.

This is the place to come for learning and getting help over a hurdle. Bring be ready to share your question or help others with their questions. No question is too small.

This Meetup is intended for a wide range of users.

We're all here to learn and share in this volunteer-run WordPress community.

Are you working on a project - your own or a client - and having challenges? Do you have an idea for your WordPress site, and you don't even know where to begin to implement it? Are you curious about what themes or plugins to choose from? Are you wrestling with your page builder? Do you need a better website host? This is the Meetup is for you!

If you don't need help, please join us anyway! There's always something to learn and perhaps you'll want to add your experience to the conversation.

The Meetup is 2 hours long and starts on time. Please join the meetup at the scheduled time (6:00 PM Pacific) by going to the Zoom link provided when you RSVP. For added security, we're not going to display the link publicly so you'll need to RSVP to see it.

Hello Reno WordPress Members,

As you know our meetup location has always been at the Reno Collective, which like everywhere else, has been closed these past three months. As of June 8th, the Reno Collective reopened to MEMBERS only. They plan to stay closed to the general public for the foreseeable future.

Secondly, the WordPress Community Organizers have set guidelines for in-person events, meetups, and WordCamps, especially where community transmission is still a problem. These guidelines are in effect through the 4th quarter of 2020.

Given the circumstances and temporary closure of our usual venue (The Reno Collective) and assuming there is member interest, we could move our meetup online.

Therefore if you think an online meetup would be advantageous, then let's do this. We will keep to our established schedule — fourth Wednesday of each month, 6-8 pm, except we'll meet online.

Ping us on Meetup if you have any questions.

Stay healthy and safe out there.

Thanks to Kori from AskKori.com who gave me the idea of starting a WordPress Wednesday virtual meetup.

We'll discuss WordPress news, tips & tricks, and offer free help for any issue you might be having with your website.

Join this free event and learn about WordPress, and how you can create your own free, open-source website.

Please bring your laptop and any login information you need to access your website if you would like help.

We usually meet at the Jamestown Library but it can change so please check the Meetup Event to be sure.

See you soon!

We will be discussing topics surrounding WordPress including how you (the end user or developer) use WordPress, design techniques, techniques, tools and of course simply how to use your WordPress website.

TBD

If you have ideas and suggestions for future topics let us know!

Our WordPress MeetUp community is mostly comprised of beginners and DIY'ers. We try to cover topics that will benefit beginner and intermediate users. We mostly function as a roundtable, where all community members can contribute from their experience and learn from each other. More advanced users are encouraged to join us to share from their knowledge.

We meet the first Monday of each month to discuss design and process-releated topics. Come with questions! All user levels are welcome to attend.

To schedule a 1-on-1 WordPress Help Desk call, simply use the calendar found here: https://optsus.com/wp-help-desk/

Confused? Please read this entire description including the TLDR and FAQ sections to clear up any confusion about changes as this event moves from in-person to online.

Bring your laptop because we are going to help you with your website!

Are you trying to figure out how to fix your website using only YouTube videos?

Frustrated by support forum posts that are dated from 5+ years ago?

We will have at least one WordPress professional available to answer questions and help you work on your website.

We look forward to helping you with WordPress.

----TLDR----

I'm adding to the description because a couple of people have been confused by these events. The link above is for you to schedule the WordPress Help Desk 1-on-1 call. The available times are generally from 9 AM until 10 AM, which is why this event is scheduled for that time. However, this is not a group call.

When the world shifted to hosting events from home, back in March, I tested this as a group call. As people received answers for their questions about WordPress, they left the call. This frustrated the people who had to wait and listen to the other questions and answers during the call. I don't want to waste everyone's time in this way.

At an in-person event, it's possible to work in a group and ask questions as they come up. However, this does not transition into a video conference call very well. Instead, I have opened up my calendar to schedule 1-on-1 calls using the link above. We will focus on the one question you have about your website.

The reason this event is reoccurring here on Meetup is to let you know the WordPress Help Desk events are still available. Before quarantine, this was an event hosted in Raleigh once per month for two hours. Now, this is a 1-on-1 video conference call scheduled for 20 minute blocks multiple times throughout the month.

There will be no link shared for a group call with this event. The WordPress Help Desk events have become 1-on-1 video conference calls which can be scheduled using the link above.

----FAQ----

Where is the link to join the call?
- If you are looking for a link to join a group call, there isn't one. These events have moved to 1-on-1 scheduled appointments. When you schedule your appointment, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to join your 1-on-1 call.

Why can't I get into the Zoom call?
- Please check the date and time in the confirmation email for your scheduled 1-on-1 call.

Why is this event repeating each morning, but there are no available appointment times this morning?
- These calls are scheduled in advance. If there is no time available today, you can book your call for the next available time.

What is the point of having these events on Meetup if we are scheduling 1-on-1 calls with another calendar?
- These events were held in-person with 20 - 50 people attending once per month. Unfortunately, hosting large group in-person events like this would be irresponsible right now. We tried hosting group calls some weeks ago and those did not go well. In a group call, one person has their question addressed while the others wait. After that one person gets the answer to their question, they drop off the call. The other people on the call feel ignored and become frustrated because they spend most of their time waiting. To solve this problem, we are now scheduling brief 1-on-1 calls to work directly on your WordPress question without the wait. The Meetup events are published to remind you that these Help Desk events are still available to help you with your website.

Welcome to WooCommerce Wednesdays in Coeur d'Alene! Our meetup is focused on helping store owners succeed. Whether you've got an idea or an established store you'd like some help with, we've got you covered!

Do you make your living using WordPress to create websites for other people’s businesses? This new Meetup is for you! We are not about themes or plugins, rather we'll talk about aspects of having a freelance business based in WP. We’ll discuss the successes and challenges of running a small business, share stories, ask questions, share tools & resources, brainstorm ideas and generally create community for those of us who typically work in isolation.

We normally meet on the first Thursday of each month from 10-noon at the Wallingford Good Shepherd Center, Room 221. It’s not far from the freeway and has free parking. We will be meeting virtually for the forseeable future.

PS – Please note that this Meetup is specifically for those with a freelance business that relies on WordPress and not intended for those who have their business website made in WordPress. There are many other Meetups for WordPress users.

Use this link to join the Seattle WP Slack Group (https://wpseattleslack.wordpress.com/) and then you can interact with the group in the Business Channel. We post all our Freelancer minutes on our website at: https://wpseattle.org/category/freelancers-meetup/

Please join our new FaceBook Group as well: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wpseattle

Let's learn from each other!

Join us to showcase your Elementor creations. Show off your creativity - and how you did it. We can all use a bit of inspiration these days.

And, if you're stuck on that one little thing that just won't work the way you want, we'll be here to help.

See you in the cloud!

The Zoom link will be posted the morning of the meetup.

The topic of this meetup has not yet been announced yet, but until further notice, all meetings will be virtual @ the following location: https://zoom.us/s/84153872304

A: You should still attend - you may be able to help someone else, or simply get the benefit of working on your projects with like-minded folks.

Q: I don't know much about WordPress - can I still come?

A: Absolutely, ALL skill and experience levels are welcome!
