Hands-On Workshops

Online Workshop/HelpDesk

22nd June 2020 by Glasgowapuu

WP Glasgow MeetUp online workshop

Thank you for the positive feedback regarding our last MeetUp in May.
For that reason* we going to use the same format this month, i.e. a mutual help/workshop/Q&A type session with breakout rooms so that we can have some decent chats about WordPress and WordPress-related things. The time for your diaries is:

Tuesday 23 June 2020 at 6:30pm.

We all meet up at the start and then break up into small groups of 3 or 4 or 5 so that it doesn’t become a big bun-fight.

The Zoom code for the MeetUp is available for those who RSVP here.

This month, please let us know if you have a specific subject you’d like to talk to someone about. If there are some common themes, we’ll endeavour to put like-minded people together.
Here are some suggestions:

  • page builders (Elementor, Divi etc)
  • Gutenberg / Block Editor
  • basic suggestions for getting started — installing WP, themes, plugins
  • favourite plugins
  • WooCommerce (and alternatives?)

I’m sure you will have some other suggestions.
Please be prompt for a 6:30pm start as it will be tricky to introduce latecomers to the breakout sessions.
I’m looking forward to seeing you there.


And not because we haven’t got a speaker available. No. Not at all!

Online Workshop for WordPress

25th May 2020 by Glasgowapuu

Every three months we run the Glasgow WordPress MeetUp as a hands on workshop and helpdesk. Because we now live in ‘interesting times’, this time we shall be running an online workshop.

Not sure if it’s ever been done before but on Tuesday 26 May we will holding one of our infamous WordPress Workshops… but online!

It’s definitely a first for us so it could be quite an adventure.

Sign up to take part

You too could be part of it. Just sign up here for our online MeetUp and we will send you a link nearer the time so that you can join in.

Traditionally, our workshops involve some desks, some laptops and some brains. This will be much the same, I suppose but this time the desks, laptops and brains will be slightly further apart.

Rather than just being an overcrowded shouting match, the idea is to split off into separate breakout areas for ten minute sessions. That way you can have a sensible (?) discussion among four or five people. Let’s see how an online workshop can work.

Please bring questions, answers and a willingness to move your WordPress project to the next stage:

  • What WordPress feature has been driving you nuts?
  • Why does WordPress do that when I least expect it?
  • Does anyone know how to…?

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Background

This MeetUp will be hosted by those lovely folks at 34SP.

Last month we spoke about good plugins and site security. We’re still waiting for a link to give you background info… but it’s coming!

Thank you for your continued support. WordPress is an extraordinary project, largely propelled through volunteers and contributors like you. No matter how much, or how little, you think you know, you are a contributor to the WordPress project and everyone can bring something to it. What you are doing is unique but the chances are, there is someone out there who can help you achieve it.

WordPress Helpdesk – beginners welcome

Just started with WordPress and still finding your way around? Confused by all the jargon? Could you do with some WordPress advice and guidance?

Community Workshop, April 2018
WordPress Glasgow Community Workshop, April 2018

Got a WordPress website that’s bugging you? Do you need some WordPress advice and guidance? Come and meet the WordPress professionals who may be able to help you or point you in the right direction.

Please let us know that you are coming via the Meetup page. That way we know how many sandwiches to order.

Professionals are welcome too!

If you are a WordPress professional and can spare a couple of hours every 3 months, please come along to give some guidance to people who are learning or are stuck and need advice. The WordPress Workshop & HelpDesk relies on people like you giving their time and knowledge. It’s also a great opportunity to increase your own WP skills.

Please note that the organising team expects all advice to be given for free and in good faith but, if something is too big to fix there and then the WordPress professional will have the right to say so.

WordPress Networking

A meeting point for WordPress developers and web designers looking for their next project or collaboration and for people who have a project and would like to meet a WordPress professional.

Belated apologies for not having this meeting back in July. The planning gods were against us and it was never going to work out. Many thanks for your patience.

The WordPress Workshop & Helpdesk Glasgow is a regular Meetup organised by volunteers and supported by WordPress and other sponsors.
