WordPress Meetup in United States

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.

This presentation will focus on how to change your approach from thinking short term and go for long term goals. How can you support you and your family on a small $500 dollar website that is a one time gig? There are options that can make a difference in how you sell to help with longer contracts and longevity.

ACCESSIBILITY! Our guest speaker Iñaki Martin Sanz will be joining us to talk about website accessility. His presentation at WordCamp Spain this year made me realize how much I don't know (*but am liable for*) about my websites.

Iñaki's talk will cover the who, what, why, and how of website accessbility. He'll debunk related myths, demonstrate a screen reader, and then stick around for Q&A.

We're going to use a translation service (another accessibility tool!) and subtitle this meetup (accessibility tool, too).

Meeting schedule: (CDT/UTC-5)
8:15 - Check in (CST/UTC-5)
8:25 - Presentation by Iñaki Martín.

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.

If you plan to attend, you must RSVP. The link to join the meeting is sent only to those who have registered.

Instructions for joining the online event:

💻 On a computer with a working microphone (built-in or external), click the link in your email to join at 11:15 A.M. on Tuesday.

🎯 When you join, you will be in a waiting room until the host opens the main discussion room.

This Meetup will be held virtually, via Google Meet.

We're moving this month's meetup online once again as all LFPL meetings are cancelled in response to the Covid-19 epidemic.

It's been a long couple of months and we all could use some nice distracting conversation to discuss our common love of WordPress, get to know each other, share what we've been working on, and ask any questions we may have.

This will be an online meeting so no need to get in your car or even put shoes on!

Join us with your favorite beverage, funny zoom background, friendly smile, and unbridled excitement for all things WordPress.

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.

In this month's meetup, WP Naperville regular Nancy Mikyska will do a walkthrough of Divi.

Divi is a WordPress theme that works as a premium back-end and a front-end visual builder. Divi makes it easy for someone with limited coding skills to design and build their own website.

Nancy says:

"Some call Divi a theme...others a builder...I call it a tool. You can use a pre-made layout or start from scratch with a blank page. It's flexible so that you can utilize CSS Flex and Grid if you desire. I will walk you through the backend of Divi: Setting features, sections/rows/modules, the Divi Library and including the Divi Theme Builder.

If you know some css, jquery, or even PHP you can add to the look and functionality of your website quickly and easily with Divi. You can build a landing page, brochure website, or an ecommerce site. "

Nancy Mikyska, Cymatics, Inc. ​www.cymaticswebdevelopment.com

In the midst of a career change into website business I’ve been learning and building websites with Divi and non-Divi since 2016. I’ve built 8 websites with Divi, with a couple more that are still in development. I’m developing products to add to Elegant Themes marketplace.

Join us to learn more about this popular tool!

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.

We are so excited to launch the Houton Divi Meetup! More information coming soon.

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.

Headless WordPress is known to dramatically speed up your site (up to 8 times as fast, if you can believe Netlify!) It seems as easy as following a Smashing Magazine article, or so Benji K. thought. But what about ACFs, Yoast, Forms, and Custom Post Types? Follow him on a journey down the rabbit hole of Static Sites and the WordPress REST API!

[Special Guest Speaker!!!] Join us online for a virtual meetup with Michelle Schulp as she walks us through some custom blocks she built with the Advanced Custom Fields plug-in. Michelle will also talk about the event manager plug-in she built using custom blocks and ACF.

Michelle Schulp is an independent visual communications designer in Minneapolis, and runs Marktime Media, specializing in UI Design, Presentation Design, and WordPress Theme Development for her clients.

*** We've pushed out our meetup date due to coronavirus concerns. ***

PLEASE RSVP as space is limited.

Join us for a session that will be part WordPress project problem solving, SHOW & TELL, community building/planning and work case demos.
Check back for more details soon.

Come to meet other fellow WordPress professionals in SF. Come to share some challenges you're encountering -- and seek guidance from other community members.

If you would like a specific question answered, please leave a message below. Likewise if you would like to share something interesting that you've been working on -- please drop us a message below so we can allocate time for your demo.

It is very easy to add a YouTube or Vimeo-hosted video to your WordPress site, but omitting the captions excludes many more people than you think. Not just the 6% of the world that is deaf or hard of hearing.

Get your captioning questions answered by the person who depends on them.

You’ll learn:
✅ Why do I want to caption my videos? (Besides accessibility, of course!)
✅ How do captions work?
✅ What are my options for captioning my videos?
✅ How do I create awesome captions?

Presenter:
Meryl Evans
Digital Marketing Pro and Captioning Queen

Born hearing-free, Meryl’s first encounter with captions came in 1983 when she received her first closed-caption decoder. Because she depends on captions to follow the video, she has seen the best and worst of captions. Fast forward years later, Meryl’s digital marketing career has come in handy in educating people about captioning videos and captioning them well. At a time when a lot of videos contain automatic captions, autocraptions are NOT better than no captions. Her how-to videos and guides have educated and encouraged many to start captioning their videos and do it right. She has also created and promoted the use of #Captioned in social media to help people find captioned videos.

###

This event will include live captioning, sponsored by Sumner M Davenport & Assoc. LLC.

Future sessions in this Web Accessibility topic speaker series will feature presenters who are recognized leaders in the Accessibility community, discussion groups, hand-on-workshops on your sites, specific Accessibility topics (such as: color, content, testing), and more.

These events will be closed captioned and may be recorded. Depending on the session, the recording and/or transcript may be made available after the event. Recording will not be available during hands-on events for privacy of your sites and your work.

Who should attend?

Our meetup is inclusive. This event is for people who love WordPress and Accessibility and want to share their knowledge, experience, and to meet other WordPress users in the area. Both experienced and beginner WordPress designers are encouraged to attend and participate.

We do have a few rules.

In line with the mission of WordPress, our meetup was established in keeping with the 5 Good Faith Rules on Make WordPress (https://make.wordpress.org/community/handbook/meetup-organizer/meetup-program-basics/#the-five-good-faith-rules). Also please check our Code of Conduct (https://bit.ly/2ZGhtnG). We’re a friendly bunch, creating a friendly, nurturing and encouraging environment to talk WordPress.

NO Sales pitches of your products or services to the group. NO pitches of any product that you receive a kickback or commission.

No legal discussion or advice, unless you are a practicing civil rights or disability rights attorney and not just playing one on TV . . .

There are a lot of smart people in this group who show up ready to help and answer beginner and advanced topics alike. We encourage everyone to lend their voice to the conversation, but even if you know all the answers, please let others contribute as well.

###

Please do not share the event link; only group members who have RSVP'd will be admitted.

Have you thought about Hosting before? I mean, think about it in the context of what is my host doing for me when it comes to protecting and enhancing my website? For almost ten years, Rick Shaw has been building websites for large and small businesses in the like, but he will bring the topic of hosting to the table. What is good for Large Businesses? What is suitable for Mom n Pop businesses? I've heard of GoDaddy and HostGator, but I have BlueHost what makes them different? What is C-panel? My personal favorite "Whom do you recommend and why?". Join us for a fun dive (at least Rick says it's fun) into hosting. See you there!

Join us if you'd like feedback or need assistance with your website. We'll have time to answer any questions you have about plugins, themes, security, and backups for your website.
We hope you'll join us! All meetings are virtual until further notice.

About the Pasadena WordPress Meetup

We've been around for 7+ years! Yeah. Believe the hype! Your hosts are Alex Vasquez, a website developer who runs DigiSavvy (https://digisavvy.com/), a boutique digital creative agency in LA.

Who can attend?

We welcome attendees from all backgrounds and experiences to come and participate. If you want to learn about WordPress and have questions; please attend. If you know all there is to know about WordPress you are welcome to attend because you are cooler than cool!

Format

For the first segment, we usually have a brief presentation (15+/- minutes) then we do a roundtable format of Q and A about WordPress, so please bring your questions. This is also a great opportunity to share your knowledge with others. Everyone that attends is expected to ask a question or answer a question. You're taking time to show up, so please, please, please get involved!!! I mean that! Your participation keeps this community going and growing.

The second part we network and it's also a time to assist one another with in-depth help regarding questions they may have.

FAQs

• Is this a place to talk about my services and products I sell?
No. There are networking groups specifically for that. We're not one of them.

• Is there a charge to attend?
NO! The only thing we ask is that you participate and be welcoming toward one another. It's a safe space to learn from one another.

• Can I talk about my business and things I sell?
Sure, but DON'T sell to the Meetup Group. There are other communities for that sort of stuff and it's not welcome here.

• Is this group right for me?
Personally, I think this group is for everyone. Some people feel overwhelmed by the sometimes (and sometimes often) technical/advanced nature of the questions posed. That's okay. There's a lot of that. But everyone of any skill level is encouraged to ask a question, no matter how "beginner" the question may seem.Don't be discouraged if you don't know the material discussed. Feel free to ask questions. The group is meant to empower and encourage.

• What if I know the answers to all the questions? Can I answer all of them?
There are a lot of smart people in this group who show up ready to help and answer beginner and advanced topics alike. Please encourage and allow everyone to lend their voice to the conversation, too.

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.

Get ready for WordPress Wednesday & Workshop! Bring your laptop fully charged and don’t forget to watch all the awesome WordPress video tutorials for this month by Kori Ashton (http://askkori.com/) on her YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/koriashton). Let us come together and discuss these topics further.

Following the Q&A session regarding the videos, we will have an open workshop portion - bring your laptop and let's open up your WordPress website and get to work! Kori's website has even more resources and free tools to help you improve your online marketing.

Over 400 free videos and more being added weekly.

Whether you're an expert or a beginner, come join our group and share your experience using the DIVI Theme Builder.

This meeting's topic is: Starting Our DIVI Community - Brainstorming Topics and Breaking the Ice.

Welcome to our first DIVI DC Meetup. We'll start by getting to know each other and what we would like to get out of a group like this.
Together we'll brainstorm topics and discuss the skills we would like to learn from each other in the coming months.

Towards the end, there will be time to network and possibly help those who have a specific issue related to the DIVI theme builder. We'll also provide an opportunity to share the most recent DIVI web designs we've created.

Here is the schedule:
1. Introductions
2. Sharing Our Experiences
(Current Challenges and Previous Success)
3. DIVI Related Questions & Answers
4. Conclusion & Summary of Our Discussion
5. Mingle, Network, and Departure

Come take a break during the work day and talk about the latest in the St. Louis WordPress community. We'll be informal and just chatting in Zoom so feel free to come and go as you have time. Bring your own coffee.

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.

Meet the developer of The Divi Machine Plugin, Peter Wilkinson. Peter will give us a live demonstration of the Divi Machine Plugin. He will show us how this awesome plugin works and how you can use it for your website or your client's website.

Peter is originally from South Africa and is now living in the UK. He started Divi Engine over 3 ½ years ago as he was creating custom plugins for customers. He couldn’t find suitable solutions for issues like script minification. Instead of keeping these solutions to himself he decided to share them with the Divi Community.

Divi Engine is also known for the Divi Body Commerce Plugin, it’s the #1 Divi and WooCommerce plugin. It’s more than just a product page builder it adds modules giving more options starting with the product page to the checkout.

The core of Divi Engine is about giving back to the Divi Community and for every purchase on Divi Machine website they give a gift to The Sozo Foundation in Cape Town, South Africa.

The Meetup will start at 5:00 PM Central time as Peter is in the UK.

All are welcome.
As always, come with your WordPress/Divi questions and we will spend time after the presentation helping each other out.

In this Zoom presentation, David Schargel will be discussing all-things-security including various best practices, tools, techniques, and plugins you can use to better secure your websites.

David will explain some of the key concepts and terms, what hackers like to attack to compromise your website or spam it, a "101" on getting started with security, how to up your security game, what security plugins can and cannot do, and a bunch of intermediate and advanced topics that you can graduate into. David will also briefly connect about what to do if your website is hacked.

This Meetup is intended for a wide range of users. Regardless if you consider yourself a WordPress novice, looking to refine your security practices, or a long-time system administrator on their own servers, David will make sure you have some takeaways. The best security comes from some simple steps that you can easily take.

If you do not need help with security, please join us anyway! There is always something to learn and perhaps you'll find a tidbit or two that will engage you.

---

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, access the Participants panel, and access the Chat panel, among other things.

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 go to the Participants panel and click the button to "raise your hand". 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.

There's also a Chat panel. You can use the chat 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.

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

The new WordPress Block Builder is the perfect tool to create a micro-site that you can view in a single page, slide deck, or use to create a printable PDF - all without building it more than once. We’ll talk about how to use a combination of specific Gutenberg blocks to generate a micro-site with the features you need for each of these 7 kinds of micro-sites:

Professional Portfolios or Resumes
Albums or Scrapbooks (Public and Private)
Product Documentation and Technical Instructions (Digital and Physical Products)
Sales Pitches
Marketing Landing Pages
Online Courses
Conference Presentations

By the end, you will walk away with a list of Gutenberg blocks and a head filled with ideas for micro-site projects you can build with Gutenberg.

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.

The Auburn 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 the "stay home, safe healthy" order. 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 round-table discussion of WordPress. We will then try to move into a help desk collaboration that may either be everyone or breaking into smaller groups.

Thanks in advance for everyone's participation and patience as we adjust to the community changes.

The topic of this meetup has not yet been announced.

This is a Virtual Event

• What we'll do
WordPress Work Alongs are a place to bring questions, or websites in progress and several WordPress experts will be available to answer questions.

• What to bring
Bring a laptop and/or questions.

• Important to know
These Work Alongs are sponsored by Ideas and Coffee, Orphic Workshop, and Noventum Custom Software.

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!

In anticipation of the first annual WordPress Accessibility Day event (October 2) and it's Call for Speakers closing August 15th, we're planning a joint meetup of three Meetups located in the valleys north of Los Angeles to highlight this important topic.

If all goes as planned, we'll offer three consecutive Meetups on Saturday, August 8th that will discuss accessibility in WordPress through presentation, demonstrate, and hands-on learning.

Details are being firmed up so check back here for more details and RSVP to be notified of the complete day's agenda.

MONTHLY HAPPINESS BAR
As always, we'll get the latest news and information going on in WordPress and answer your questions in a mini-version of a Happiness Bar to help you and assist you with challenges if possible.

NOTE: We'll meet online with details shared about the event to those who RSVP (for security reasons).

** A very special thanks to Sumner M Davenport of Sumner M. Davenport & Associates, LLC for providing our Zoom video conferencing services for our Meetup. **

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.

- 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.

OUR FOCUS

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.

Our meetup is graciously sponsored by WordPress and make.wordpress.org

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.

PRESENTATION OVERVIEW
Corporate social media has been dominating the online space so significantly that the newest generation of Internet users now thinks that is what the "web" actually is. Fortunately, with WordPress as your platform, you can not only take back your online identity and presence, but you can use it to have a richer and fuller experience than the locked-down experience you get with the limits of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.

Chris will explore some open web standards and technologies that open up WordPress to allow site-to-site interactions and easier posting functionality through the magic of a small handful of simple plugins. These are simple enough building blocks that the beginning WordPress user can do some powerful new things with their sites but are also rich enough that senior developers can build and extend them or find uses for them for business sites and even e-commerce.

SPEAKER BIO
Chris Aldrich has been using WordPress since the Art Blakey release and uses it to run a handful of various sites including his primary web presence at https://boffosocko.com. Outside of his day job in the entertainment industry, he's interested in abstract mathematics, big history, and is an advocate of the IndieWeb movement...

MONTHLY HAPPINESS BAR
As always, we'll get the latest news and information going on in WordPress and answer your questions in a mini-version of a Happiness Bar to help you and assist you with challenges if possible.

NOTE: We'll meet online with details shared about the event to those who RSVP (for security reasons).

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.

Get ready for WordPress Wednesday & Workshop! Bring your laptop fully charged and don’t forget to watch all the awesome WordPress video tutorials for this month by Kori Ashton (http://askkori.com/) on her YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/koriashton).

Following the Q&A session regarding the videos, we will have an open workshop portion - bring your laptop and let's open up your WordPress website and get to work! Kori's website has even more resources and free tools to help you improve your online marketing.

Over 400 free videos and more being added weekly.
