Register for it by filling out this form: https://forms.gle/Th6AZUbS2GoiCEJz5
This is a virtual meetup on Zoom for you to ask your WordPress questions and help you fix problems with your website.
The answerer for this meetup will be Gen Herres, owner of Anphira Web Design & Development, and a WordPress veteran of over a decade. She's built and remodeled hundreds of WordPress sites.
Don't have a question? You can still come and see what others ask - you might learn something!
We're asking you to submit questions in advance (please use the form at https://forms.gle/Th6AZUbS2GoiCEJz5) so that we can gather common ones together to answer them. But if you'd like to share your screen when it's your turn during the meetup, just let us know on the registration form!
You'll be muted on entry, we'll be using the chat to queue people up/ask follow-on questions.
The meetup will run 11am ET until noon ET or until we finish up the questions, whichever comes first. If you pre-submitted your question and are not present, then your question will be skipped.
Meetup is scheduled to be recorded. Recordings are posted about 2 weeks after the meetup and are provided courtesy of our sponsor, Obee Digital Consulting.
How to get notified about the recording: either subscribe to the youtube channel, RSVP "yes" to the meetup, or join the mailing list.
