✍️ - The "Hidden" Features of WordPress

There are WordPress features you may not be aware of. If you are like many, there always seem to be things you wish you could do with WordPress, but maybe can’t figure out. This talk will provide you with some great tips and tricks to make working with WordPress even easier. From changing the number of posts on the dashboard page, to adding a target to link to on the menu dashboard, there are many things that are easy to accomplish — if only you know where to look. We will also cover shortcuts for use in the editor window, Gutenberg, and a quick and easy way to save your favorite plugins to find at a click to upload to your site.

✍️ - Round Table - The Future of #WPLDN

As we move towards an environment here in the UK that will slowly allow for the return to in-person events, we want to bring you, the community, along with the conversation and decision making. So we're running a Round Table to discuss what the future of #WPLDN will look like.

This Round Table will be open to multiple guests, that includes you. Yes, we'll be inviting you to come and join us live in the discussion.

🗣 - Presented by the #WPLDN Community. The #WPLDN organising team will kick start a conversation and then invite you to join us on screen. You will not be required to turn your camera on but it would be nice to see who we're talking with. Follow #WPLDN @WPLDN (https://twitter.com/WPLDN)
