By the Community, For the Community.
Thursday 13th April, 18:30, at CitizenM’s Glasgow.
We’ll be sitting round the big table on the ground floor, right-hand side of the building as you come in.
Bring your laptop or tablet or simply yourself. There’s no need to be an expert… although you’ll also be welcomed if you are ?
So folks, here’s our first live streamed talk. Super happy!
Apart from the great talk, we’ve also had some recommendations from our members as to other good plugins dealing with Custom Post Types, such as the Post Type Switcher and the Custom Post Type UI.
We’ve also discussed online courses to start learning PHP at our own pace. Here’s some of the names that have come up during our conversation: CodeSchool, Udemy, TreeHouse, and W3Schools.

Well, this was a meet full of useful hands-on stuff.
There was choosing a header image and linking a domain name to a wordpress.com blog (you now need to buy a plan for this, by the way. See https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/).
A lot of the evening was taken up by the matter of hacked websites, how to recover from having a hacked site and how to best protect your site, also how do we find the theme best suited for our new site.
We also got into the UK WordPress Community Slack team and tested chatting via the #wpglasgow channel which we are thinking using for the Q&A at our next remote talk event.
Discussions around the table were varied as usual and we are looking forward to the next meet!
We had a great night with two really interesting talks. Here’s some photos of the evening:
Many thanks to the GCU for hosting us and to all who came for making it possible!

Thank you Jim for the fab talk!
As usual the conversation (around the joys and pains of being a web designer this time) was super informative and we all got a lot out of it. Specially interesting was the discussions around favourite Themes and Frameworks, Accessibility and UX.
We’ll upload the notes onto our meetup.com page very soon.
