We’ve taken your feedback and come up with three great sessions for WordPress 101 with Joe Querin!
WordPress 101 – The Basics
Discover The who, what , where, why, and how of WordPress. Even if you have a general idea of what WordPress is come join us as we go over the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, the WP Dashboard, how to find plugins and themes you can trust and we may even be able to squeeze in why even if you’re not a developer you should run a local install of WordPress.
WordPress 101 – Intermediate/Advanced WordPress
Now that you know what WordPress is and the basics of how it works, let’s dig into some light customizations. Need to tweak some CSS (don’t worry we’ll briefly cover what that is) we’ll talk how it can be done. Need more menus? We’ll show you can create a menu and then make it appear somewhere. Maybe you’ve heard for custom fields or custom post types we’ll discuss these as well.
WordPress 101 – Developer Intro
WordPress is cool and all, but can it do this? Or that? We’ll talk about some ways we can use WordPress in ways you may have not thought of and show how we could do it. Let’s talk about what is multisite and why you would want to use it. Backups, why you need them and how to do them. We’ll talk creating child themes and custom themes and why you would want one over the other. We’ll also talk basic plugin building. We’ll also talk local dev environments a little deeper and include some developer workflow tools, Gulp, Git and how to deploy to production.
