How do I learn more about WordPress? July 2013 meetup
Our July 2013 meetup topic was How do I learn more? No matter how much you know about WordPress, there’s always more to learn. Topher DeRosia and Nate Reist gave a long list of resources and tips for learning and finding support.
Below are the notes from the meetup. Don’t forget to get involved in WordCamp Grand Rapids 2013 by volunteering and/or sponsoring.
Getting Support
How to make a good support request
- Tell how to recreate the problem, specifically (actions, results, browser, host, etc.).
- Tell what you’ve tried and what happened.
Where to find support
- For WordPress.org plugins, each plugin has a Support tab
- WordPress.org Forums
- Our WordPress Grand Rapids meetup group (and Google Group)
- Become friends with developers and other WordPress people. Don’t use them; forge a genuine relationship.
