WordPress Meetup in United States

The Athens WordPress Meetup group meets the first Wednesday of each month. We'll be talking about all things WordPress. The agenda is set by our members, so if you want to have something discussed, let us know!

Whether you've just learned how to spell WordPress or are an expert, we'd love to have you!

If you'd like to be a part of the organizing team or would like to speak/teach at one of our meetings, please contact Mike (https://www.meetup.com/members/9692936/) or Brandon (https://www.meetup.com/Athens-WordPress/members/236970121/)

We regret to inform you that we’ve decided to cancel this month's WordPress Meetup. We are currently expecting to have our next Meetup on May 6th. We will keep you up to date.

We would rather err on the side of caution. I recognize “caution” is a subjective term, but here it means making decisions that align with the efforts of our communities to contain the impact of this virus.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and we thank you for your understanding.

For the safety of all of us, we have decided to postpone these meetups until conditions change.

We’re a group of local WordPress developers, designers, and publishers who get together to share our knowledge, our experience, and to meet other WordPress users in the area. This WordPress Meetup is open to all who love WordPress — join us!

This month’s topic:
Everything you need to know
about choosing a quality WordPress host.

In this presentation I’ll discuss how it works, the types of hosting available, what to consider, and how to choose an option that works best for your needs and budget.

The 30 min presentation will be followed by Q&A. Bring yourself questions about hosting - or any other aspect of WordPress - and we’ll get them answered!

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.

Details to come!

Security and performance is important for any website. But what about a website with hundreds of thousands of visitors per month and millions of dollars a year on the line?

This will be an online meetup to allow more people to attend. We will post the link in the comments on the day of the meetup.

Learn WordPress Tips & Techniques every month!

Divi offers a wide selection of modules to create a fantastic, content-driven site. But with so many choices, which modules are best to use, and for what purposes and instances?

This month's Meetup is great for beginner-level Divi users. Learn the "anatomy" of modules, as well as basic and creative uses for them.

It is time to start a new extension of the Central KY WordPress meetup been wanting to get this going for a long time

We will be meeting on the Second Thursday of each month at Third Street Stuff which is a coffee house that has some food and sandwiches and deserts and very good open WiFi.   There are areas where tables can be brought together in different configurations.  It is sort of a strange funky place - the people hanging out there could very easily fit in with a WordPress WordCamp

A WordPress Happiness Bar is casual, people can arrive and leave when they want.  The object is to share WordPress experiences, and frustrations and show works in progress and work through frustrations and problems.  It is an open time to bring your laptop - have some coffee and "play around" with WordPress.  First ones arriving will attempt to grab a table or two in an area where the tables can be brought together.  It will of course vary depending on how many other people are at the venue when we get there.  

While these monthly events are primarily for WordPress.org users this is where the WordPress.com users are certainly welcome and have the opportunity to get help or give help to others.  The normal monthly meetups are primarily focused on self hosted WordPress sites and the people using the free WordPress.com site for their blogging site will be pretty lost - the two are very different even though both are called WordPress

At the happiness bar people can help each other with websites and with blogging or developing eCommerce or online marketing sites or anything concerned with WordPress and web sites.

Hope you will drop by the Second Thursday of each month.  We will give Third Street Stuff a try for several months and see how it works out.  Sixth St Brewery is close by for those that want to so hang out after showing up at the coffee shop

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 the 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 at the Riverside I|O at 7pm. Eat before you come, bring your laptop, bring your local server installed on your laptop (if you don't have one, we will get you set up on DesktopServer), and get ready to get or give some help. We look forward to seeing you! Wifi is available.

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.

Please join us to ask any WP questions, share a recent project, or help us plan upcoming events! Topic TBD

We'll begin with introductions and welcoming new members, then work through any practical WordPress challenges people might have, and time permitting include one or more presentations from members on special topics.

Some recent/recurring threads of interest have included strategies for effectively using tags and categories, best ways to secure a WordPress site, adapting to the new block editor, and how to extend WordPress capabilities with custom post types.

At this meetup we will be making ourselves available for one-on-one support, help and training. If you have questions, are working on a site or just need general help come prepared with your laptop and questions. We will do our best to help, provide guidance and offer our experience to move your projects forward.

All are welcome!

Does the thought of speaking at a WordPress event intrigue you? This is a free online workshop for folks from underrepresented groups who are thinking about speaking at WordPress events, such as WordPress meetups and WordCamps. The focus of this hands-on session is to look at what has stopped you from speaking in the past and explore how to move past your fears, generate WordPress-related topics to give a talk on, boost your speaking confidence, and allow you to practice speaking in a safe space. At the end of the workshop you will have a few ideas for talks and a chance to practice speaking.

*** You do NOT have to have any experience in public speaking. This workshop is for all levels of experience.

This workshop is for you if:
- You identify as being from an underrepresented group
- You’ve thought about speaking at meetups or WordCamps but haven’t been able to think of a topic
- You think you don’t know anything worth speaking about

We will cover:
- Why speak at WordPress events?
- Dispelling some myths about speakers/speaking
- Coming up with topics and choosing one
- Practice speaking in front of a group

We will also help you get in touch with local meetup groups so you can continue to practice speaking.

Taking this workshop will qualify you for getting paired with a speaker mentor, depending on how many attendees and mentors we have.

This workshop will be 2 hours and take place April 11th, 2020 from 12:00pm – 2:00pm. We will being using Zoom and the meeting link will be emailed to you close to the workshop date.

Allyson has been working in web development for five years. She got her start with WordPress and has been passionate ever since about the community and getting new people involved. She has both spoken at and lead local meetup groups.

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.

Bobby DeLisio is the organizer of the WordPress Users of the Palm Beaches Meetup Group and host of this event. He has been designing and developing websites since the early 90's. When commercial use restrictions were lifted from the Internet in 1995 he started his own company which developed websites for businesses. Bobby's first commercial website was written in HTML 2.0 (or was it 1.1 ???) using notepad with a liberal use of tables and single pixel gifs to create structure. A far cry from creating website layouts with CSS Grid.

Evolution of Web Layouts:
Tables > Frames > Layers > Floats/Clears > Flexbox > CSS Grid

Glen Ingram of WebSearchPros.com will explain what web accessibility (WCAG 2.1) is and why it is so important we understand it and be compliant. People with disabilities ranging from blindness, deafness, dyslexia and others may navigate and consume content in different ways with assistive technology. Web accessibility is not just for developers, it is just as important for marketers to make it part of their digital marketing to ensure that opportunities for success aren’t missed. When 1 in 5 people have short or long term disability, creating accessible websites can increase your conversions by 20% by being accessible.

Coworking events are for all levels of WordPress users. Work on your projects with other WordPress users. Enjoy spending time with other WordPressers! Get help from others...give help to others...and build community. This event is free to attend. Come all day or for a couple of hours. Bring your laptop and an extension cord or power strip.

Aloha and welcome to Kailua-Kona's WordPress community!

Bring your ideas and willingness to learn something new in Wordpress. We discuss updates, themes, plugins and various Wordpress day to day issues and solutions.

We will begin as soon as the first person arrives. If you have a topic to discuss, please add it to the discussion area using the menu link above. This gives other attendees the chance to consider the discussion and add to the topic.

We do not have a set topic. Topics come from the community.

If you have a particular Wordpress question, new idea, or just want to know how to get started, we're here to help. If you have a problem you need reviewed, please come prepared with your domain name and the related username/login information necessary to access your site.

Even if you don't have a domain name, or know what any of that is, we can start from there. All levels of inquiry are welcome.

This meeting will be every 3rd Wednesday of the month. Check the calendar for future times and days.

The Racine WordPress Meetup Group believes our community should be open to everyone. As such, we are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, religion, preferred operating system, programming language, or text editor.

Come with your WordPress questions, issues, or concerns. There will be an open conversation every month, so that we can help one another with answers, suggestions, our favorite tools or plugins, etc. Bring your laptops! There is wi-fi, and we can Chromecast to the large screen for demos or troubleshooting.

PLEASE RSVP as space is limited.

Agenda

Since many folks attend with questions in-hand we want to make it easier for them to get answers. Instead of making people wait till the end of the evening to ask their questions, we're going to dedicate the first 30 minutes of the evening to questions and conversation. Need help with something? Have a cool site to share? The is the time.

Roughly:

6:30pm to 7:00pm - Question & Answer time. Come to help others, ask questions, and socialize before the main event.

7pm to 7:15pm - Introductions and housekeeping.

7:15pm to 8:30pm - Main topic of the evening and presentations.

You'll want to find each other at the Panera -- it's open until 9, so a 7 pm start time gives you two good hours to talk, and the internet is better there too!

The WordPress Community team is looking for some folks to take the lead in hands-on organizing your Meetups, but if you're reading this and thinking, "I've got to be a better organizer than this lame broad. At least I live on the proper side of the Continental Divide!" Then I invite you to come take over.

It could be the start of a beautiful new Meetup experience, or a whole new career!

Either way, since I'm in St. Louis, you probably should start meeting at the Panera (or as I call it, the St. Louis Bread Company 😜) and talking among yourselves. If you have specific questions about themes, the block editor or typography, please feel free to drop me a text. That's far and away the best way to get my attention for anything!

This is our general membership meeting. Please let us know if you have any topic(s) you would like to discuss.

Several of the technology user groups in Frederick have gotten together to host a monthly open workshop together.

This is just open time with free wifi to come together with other developers to hang out and work on projects. Together or alone! Bring a project you need to work on. Bring a project you want help on. Show up to offer your help to someone else, or just show up to sit in the corner and read a book. All are welcome to join us in sitting down and geeking out together for a couple hours on Saturday morning.

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.

=====NEW LOCATION=====

This is the official Brooklyn chapter of the WordPress NYC Help Desk. Bring your laptop and pressing WordPress questions and we'll do our best to get you unstuck.

If you have a WordPress website, you are using a theme. WordPress themes are fun to use. They are designs with a wide variety of features and customization options.

Are you a little curious about how your website will change if you were to switch to other WordPress themes?

Let's find out together.

Join me at Le Pain Quotidien to experience how switching a theme affects your website experience. This Meetup is for the curious. It's not about answers, theories or creating a new website. It's about us being in the company of friends and good food while indulging our curiosity.

The first round of Avocado Toast is on me...And don't worry. I'll have a sample WordPress website you can play with just in case you have custom code that could break.

EVENT DATE: This event will be rescheduled. The new date will be posted at a later time, and the below registration date is delayed.

THE FIVE GOOD FAITH RULES FOR WORDPRESS MEETUPS
Full rules @ http://bit.ly/2FIKt1N

Join us every third Monday of the month for our casual get together to talk about WordPress and the web . Experience levels may vary with each month's topic.

We begin with a monthly topic, and then finish the evening with general discussion and answer questions that we have.

WordPress powers approximately 1/4 of the entire internet, it's an impressively powerful and still very easy to use tool. Sometimes you just need a little help picking up the basics.

Each month we offer a standard Q&A as an easy icebreaker. Come out and meet other like-minded individuals looking to do amazing things on the web. All user levels are welcome and encouraged to come out with your questions!

We average around 20 to 25 attendees per month. We typically have 2-3 developers, 2-3 designers, 2-3 content writers and a handful of first timers all looking to connect.

So you have a handful of WordPress projects under your belt and now you're looking to streamline your process.

Maybe you need time-tracking software because you're nearing max-capacity for remembering *when* you worked for *who*.

Maybe you need a royalty-free image or nearly-free Creative Commons icon.

Maybe you are looking for an all-encompassing solution to manage clients, projects, schedules, invoicing, and automated communication!

This is an open-forum meeting where we'll talk about the tools *you* use or the ones you wish existed. Someone in the room will likely have experience with something that fits your needs and budget.

Here are some tools and resources we hope to discuss:

This is a Workshop style meetup: Feel free to bring in your issues you're having with your current web projects and problems and we'll handle them using the 'Ask Us Anything' style: You can talk about the problem and we can try to give you guidance or point you in the right direction on your web project. Come prepared with some questions and also get to know the other people in WordPress St. Petersburg!

Do you see caching as "that vague and confusing thing that developers do to speed up your site"? Maybe you've even gotten brave and tried installing and configuring a caching plugin.

If this is you, don't miss this session with Micah Wood! Using simple analogies and unique visuals, you will come away understanding how caching works, what types of caching exist and why you might use them, and will also be able to avoid some common pitfalls that DIY caching novices fall into.

Bobby DeLisio is the organizer of the WordPress Users of the Palm Beaches Meetup Group and host of this event. He has been designing and developing websites since the early 90's. When commercial use restrictions were lifted from the Internet in 1995 he started his own company which developed websites for businesses. Bobby's first commercial website was written in HTML 2.0 (or was it 1.1 ???) using notepad with a liberal use of tables and single pixel gifs to create structure. A far cry from creating website layouts with CSS Grid.

Evolution of Web Layouts:
Tables > Frames > Layers > Floats/Clears > Flexbox > CSS Grid

It is time to start a new extension of the Central KY WordPress meetup been wanting to get this going for a long time

We will be meeting on the Second Thursday of each month at Third Street Stuff which is a coffee house that has some food and sandwiches and deserts and very good open WiFi.   There are areas where tables can be brought together in different configurations.  It is sort of a strange funky place - the people hanging out there could very easily fit in with a WordPress WordCamp

A WordPress Happiness Bar is casual, people can arrive and leave when they want.  The object is to share WordPress experiences, and frustrations and show works in progress and work through frustrations and problems.  It is an open time to bring your laptop - have some coffee and "play around" with WordPress.  First ones arriving will attempt to grab a table or two in an area where the tables can be brought together.  It will of course vary depending on how many other people are at the venue when we get there.  

While these monthly events are primarily for WordPress.org users this is where the WordPress.com users are certainly welcome and have the opportunity to get help or give help to others.  The normal monthly meetups are primarily focused on self hosted WordPress sites and the people using the free WordPress.com site for their blogging site will be pretty lost - the two are very different even though both are called WordPress

At the happiness bar people can help each other with websites and with blogging or developing eCommerce or online marketing sites or anything concerned with WordPress and web sites.

Hope you will drop by the Second Thursday of each month.  We will give Third Street Stuff a try for several months and see how it works out.  Sixth St Brewery is close by for those that want to so hang out after showing up at the coffee shop

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 the 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 at the Riverside I|O at 7pm. Eat before you come, bring your laptop, bring your local server installed on your laptop (if you don't have one, we will get you set up on DesktopServer), and get ready to get or give some help. We look forward to seeing you! Wifi is available.

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.

Several of the technology user groups in Frederick have gotten together to host a monthly open workshop together.

This specifically includes ourselves, Python Frederick (https://www.meetup.com/python-frederick/), AWS Frederick (https://www.meetup.com/AWS-Frederick-Meetup/), KeyLUG (https://www.meetup.com/KeyLUG/), and Startup Frederick (https://www.meetup.com/Frederick-Startup-Community).

This is just open time with free wifi to come together with other developers to hang out and work on projects. Together or alone! Bring a project you need to work on. Bring a project you want help on. Show up to offer your help to someone else, or just show up to sit in the corner and read a book. All are welcome to join us in sitting down and geeking out together for a couple hours on Saturday morning.

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.

=====NEW LOCATION=====
[masked]th Avenue Northeast Suite A, Seattle, 98115

Plenty of neighborhood street parking & a bus stop nearby. Come in through the front - look for the Works Progress sign in the window, ignore the huge marketing group sign.

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!

Reminder
1) Everyone is a volunteer. Don’t just come for help - help others!
2) No one works for WordPress. WordPress is “free” open source software.
3) Be kind & patient.

This is the official Brooklyn chapter of the WordPress NYC Help Desk. Bring your laptop and pressing WordPress questions and we'll do our best to get you unstuck.

We cover different topics each month and often have guest speakers. Come at 5:45 for pizza and socializing.

CONTINUING ON OUR PROGRESS
We'll continue our progress of building new WordPress websites and creating content.

Regardless if you're just starting or already have a website we welcome all levels of experience and try to offer both beginner and advanced presentations.

BREAK & NETWORK
Quick intermission to stretch our legs, network, and give a chance for those whom may need, or can help with WordPress sites to stick around for the second-half of the meetup.

HELP WITH YOUR WEBSITE
The tentative second-half part of the MeetUp will focus on those needing help with their website or have questions about Wordpress and/or websites.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW
Our evening Meetups are open to everyone and of all skill levels! Right now the meetups consist of presentations, discussion, and networking everything WordPress!

WHAT TO BRING
If you need help with your website, please bring a laptop and your login stuff to make things easier.

THE FIVE GOOD FAITH RULES FOR WORDPRESS MEETUPS
Full rules @ http://bit.ly/2FIKt1N

Join us every third Monday of the month for our casual get together to talk about WordPress and the web . Experience levels may vary with each month's topic.

We begin with a monthly topic, and then finish the evening with general discussion and answer questions that we have.

WordPress powers approximately 1/4 of the entire internet, it's an impressively powerful and still very easy to use tool. Sometimes you just need a little help picking up the basics.

Forms are one of the important pillars of your website. They generate leads, accept payments from your customers and everything in between. Setup incorrectly, you could end up storing sensitive data you don’t need that could easily get into the wrong hands.

In this talk, we’ll discuss what to look for when choosing a forms plugin for your website and why not to build your own solution from scratch. Then, we will walk-through how to build a form that doesn’t collect confidential information, making your form GDPR compliant and how to lock down access to form submissions.

[NOTE: Meetup has been rescheduled from Mar 17 to May 19, 2020.]

Modern communications make it easy to set up virtual development teams that could span the globe. You may be part of a virtual team yourself.

Or maybe you're thinking about how a virtual assistant of your own could up your development game.

But how can you ensure the virtual distance between team members isn't as big as the physical distance? Dr. Christopher Wells is lined up for our March meeting to enlighten us on this.

Stay tuned for more details.

ALSO, I'd like to gauge interest in possibly carrying on the WordPress conversation at the microbrewery across the street after our meeting. If you have any thoughts on it, yea or nay, please put them in the meetup comments!

Don't forget to RSVP!

This group runs simultaneously during the monthly Tuesday evening WPJax Meetups. This group is for kids and teens (between the ages of 7 and 16) that are interested in having a better understanding of how WordPress and blogs work!

STEAM oriented lessons will engage young minds while they participate in hands-on experiences to reinforce the concepts presented. Using project based learning with and without tech helps the youth and teens attending make learning connections that build self-confidence, self-awareness and self-direction to apply new learning.

Join us as we build up the next generation of digital leaders!

WordPress Petaluma
www.WPPetaluma.org

Our goal is to build a community in Phoenix that helps each other achieve their goals with Divi.

6+ year Divi expert is here to answer your questions. We will be tackling technical questions as well as business applications related to Divi and WordPress.

All skill levels are welcome.

Our Divi Tampa "March Meeting of Minds" was obviously cancelled as the coronavirus began to rear its ugly head in the Tampa bay area. We hope everyone has been weathering through these strange and unusual times, and hopefully staying healthy. We'll TENTATIVELY schedule this next meetup during what we hope to be a time when we, as a community, are recovering both healthwise, and economically as a whole.
--> But please be assured, if the health safety indications aren't there in mid-May and there is still a health risk, we are prepared to postpone this out as far as necessary to help protect our wonderful Divi web developers, friends and community.

Our last meetup was yet another a fun and informative event. We were able to provide desk seating for our group around a large screen TV monitor so members can display their Divi creations, discuss their work, seek advice or offer help. This session, will be similar, and we'll make sure all desks and seating will be squeaky clean and sanitized per the CDC guidelines.
Feel free to bring your laptop. (Connector to the screen is HDMI.)

Goals for this meetup:
Our meeting goals are always flexible as needed, but here’s a preliminary agenda for this meetup.
Many members attending will be new to our meetup, so don’t be shy. Come and explore some interesting ways members use Divi on their sites. Members can use the big screen to display their sites and we, as a group, can provide valuable informative feedback and suggestions on ways of fine tuning the site visitor experience. We'll also present the latest Divi feature video and discuss applicability to our member’s sites. We can enjoy learning from each other as we move forward in our own journeys of site development.

Location:
AMRoC Fab Lab at 2149 University Square mall. Yes, inside the mall. Toward the west end, half way between Dillard’s and the west mall entrances. Plenty of free parking. Park near the WEST entrance, or if it’s ever raining consider parking in the parking garage on the northwest side of the mall. (This mall is in the process of being completely re-developed!)

Food:
Please feel free to bring along a take-out meal if you’d like, or bring refreshments for yourself or to share with the group. I’d like to find a sponsor that could cover the cost of some food for our meeting each month, so if anyone’s company may be interested in sponsoring food for the meetup please let me know and I’ll have the hosting nonprofit, FCDI, coordinate with them (all sponsorship contributions will be tax deductible). Also, there is a food court upstairs in the mall if anyone wants to grab a bite before the start of the meetup.

Agenda (all times below are flexible as needed)
Start: 6:00 PM
1. 10 minutes: Welcoming everyone as they arrive
2. 60 minutes: See Goals for this Meetup above.
3. 20 minutes: Open Q & A, and set topic for our next meetup in March
4. 7:30PM: Official conclusion.
5. Bonus 30 minutes: Tour of the FCDI AMRoC Fab Lab, chit-chat, mingle & network, and departure. (AMRoC Fab Lab closes at 8:00PM)

Aloha and welcome to Kailua-Kona's WordPress community!

Bring your ideas and willingness to learn something new in Wordpress. We discuss updates, themes, plugins and various Wordpress day to day issues and solutions.

We will begin as soon as the first person arrives. If you have a topic to discuss, please add it to the discussion area using the menu link above. This gives other attendees the chance to consider the discussion and add to the topic.

We do not have a set topic. Topics come from the community.

If you have a particular Wordpress question, new idea, or just want to know how to get started, we're here to help. If you have a problem you need reviewed, please come prepared with your domain name and the related username/login information necessary to access your site.

Even if you don't have a domain name, or know what any of that is, we can start from there. All levels of inquiry are welcome.

This meeting will be every 3rd Wednesday of the month. Check the calendar for future times and days.

**DO NOT RSVP HERE**
Our WooCommerce Meetup is official now! RSVP here:
https://www.meetup.com/Phoenix-WooCommerce-Meetup-Group

This WooCommerce Meetup is sponsored by WooCommerce, and Liquid Web Hosting, and Mode Effect.

Topic

TBD

Location

To be determined

Agenda

Since many folks attend with questions in-hand we want to make it easier for them to get answers. Instead of making people wait till the end of the evening to ask their questions, we're going to dedicate the first 30 minutes of the evening to questions and conversation. Need help with something? Have a cool site to share? The is the time.

Roughly:

6:30pm to 7:00pm - Question & Answer time. Come to help others, ask questions, and socialize before the main event.

7pm to 7:15pm - Introductions and housekeeping.

7:15pm to 8:30pm - Main topic of the evening and presentations.

You'll want to find each other at the Panera -- it's open until 9, so a 7 pm start time gives you two good hours to talk, and the internet is better there too!

The WordPress Community team is looking for some folks to take the lead in hands-on organizing your Meetups, but if you're reading this and thinking, "I've got to be a better organizer than this lame broad. At least I live on the proper side of the Continental Divide!" Then I invite you to come take over.

It could be the start of a beautiful new Meetup experience, or a whole new career!

Either way, since I'm in St. Louis, you probably should start meeting at the Panera (or as I call it, the St. Louis Bread Company 😜) and talking among yourselves. If you have specific questions about themes, the block editor or typography, please feel free to drop me a text. That's far and away the best way to get my attention for anything!

At our happiness bar we discuss projects that we're working on, ask questions of one another about any difficulties that we may be having, or simply catch up. This is a low pressure environment, and we're all here to share with one another.

We will be at Port City Java starting at 5:30pm. Just because you cannot get to the coffee shop at 5:30pm still come we will be there until 7:30pm to answer any questions.

What to bring if you are coming specifically for WordPress help:

• Bring your charged laptop with you
• Bring whatever logins needed to get into your site
• Be ready to take notes
• Be respectful of the time of everyone else attending
• Be willing to accept that some problems can't be solved in 15 minutes and may require more help than we can offer here
• Buy a drink or snack from Port City Java. They let us use the space for free!

Are you a blogger and/or DIY (do-it-yourselfers) looking to connect with others who are interested in building WordPress websites and blogs? Then this group may be for you!

We meet once a month to discuss what we're working on, help each other on any problems we're having, and share tips on steps that can make life easier.

This group is primarily bloggers with some experience with WordPress and blogging. If you are BRAND NEW to WordPress, we'd love to see you. We also recommend attending the WordPress Fundamentals MeetUp (meets on the third Saturday of most months), which will introduce you to this great platform and get you started on your path to blogging/website management.

The DIY User Group meets on the last Saturday of each month. We hope you can join us and will spread the word. There's plenty of free parking at the Wallingford Senior Center.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

It says that the Senior is Closed, will you still have the meetup?
Yep! I have a key and will be there setting up when you arrive. Please note that there is only one host for this meetup, so if I'm sick, I will send an email through MeetUp.com if I have to cancel.

I can't find the space!!!
We're in the lower level and the entrance is north of the parking lot. There will be signs.

Do I have to bring a computer?
Only if you want to show examples to the group to help facilitate the discussion or better explain an issue you're having.

The map shows downtown Seattle, where is the location?
Please join us at the Wallingford Senior Center, 4649 Sunnyside Ave N, #140 (lowest level), Seattle, WA. To make sure you end up at the right location, put "Wallingford Senior Center" in your search browser and Google Maps will direct you to the right place. Folks have been hit or miss when trying to navigate with the 4649 address.

I'm brand new to WordPress, is this the right MeetUp for me?
If you are new to WordPress, check out the WordPress Fundamentals Meetup. This is a great place to get an introduction to WordPress. Of course, we'd love to have you too.

Is this MeetUp only for Bloggers?
Nope! If you are a professional creating sites for clients, we'd love to have you join us to share your expertise and advice. Also, please be sure to join our Freelancer Meetup on the first Thursday of each month 10-12 AM.

Welcome Divi Seattle!

Aside from text content, photos and videos are the most important part of your website. Divi makes it really easy to add media, but it’s not immediately what settings are best. In this meetup, we’ll cover image file types, image dimensions, image compression, workflow, video dimensions, video compression, video hosting, and more. If we get done early, we’ll be available to answer any Divi-specific questions you have regarding your websites.

Here is the agenda:
1. Introductions
2. Images with Divi
3. Videos with Divi
4. Divi Help Desk
5. Networking, mingling, and departure

Finding the Venue:
Collective Chemistry is a co-working space in Pioneer Square. It's located on the 2nd floor of the building. The entrance is on 1st ave to the right of an italian restaurant and to the left of 7/11. Walk up the stairs and the door will be on your left. Free street parking is available in the area after 6pm.

This WordPress meetup digs into how WordPress works and different tips and tools you can use to get the most out of your WordPress site. We tend to delve into developer topics so a bit of PHP and HTML experience is a plus, but not necessary.

Details coming soon
