Unraveling the Mysteries of WordPress: A Deep Dive into its Quirks & Oddities

Join us for an enlightening chat about some of the most overlooked and misunderstood quirks of WordPress. This meetup is perfect for both beginners who are just starting their WordPress journey and seasoned users who want to share their experiences and learn from others!

We’ll be discussing topics that may seem obvious in retrospect but were initially confusing or took a while to understand - or maybe still aren't well understood, even for seasoned users.

Here's a sneak peek of some of the stuff we'll cover:

• The special nature of the home page and blog page
• The elusive existence of archive pages
• The dark magic of permalinks and slugs
• Posts, pages, products, events.. are they all just the same thing?
• Hidden settings most people miss
• The REST API, and what it means for the average user
• Default settings that can hurt
