Join us for a networking, community, and learning session all about WordPress. WordPress is the world’s most popular platform for creating websites – now powering over the 40% of the internet.
If you're in tech and not using WordPress, you're probably missing out.
If you use WordPress as a developer, designer or in your business, and want to meet others in WordPress, you should attend our free meetup. All experience levels welcome — even if you've never touched WordPress before. Everyone is welcome.
### THIS MONTHS SESSION
This month, we’re looking at two very different — but equally important — parts of running a website: keeping it secure and making it your own.
Whether you look after a business website, build sites for clients, manage your own project, or are simply curious about how WordPress works, both sessions are designed to give you practical ideas you can take away and use...
## Protect Your Website From Hackers
Get 10 actionable tips to tighten security and reduce your risk
Website security can feel complicated, especially when the advice online is often full of technical jargon, scare stories and expensive tools. This session keeps things practical.
We’ll go through 10 straightforward things you can do to make a WordPress website safer, reduce common risks and avoid some of the mistakes that leave websites unnecessarily exposed.
We’ll cover areas such as passwords, user accounts, updates, plugins, hosting, login protection and other simple security habits that can make a real difference.
You don’t need to be a developer or cybersecurity expert. The goal is to leave with a clear checklist of things you can review on your own website.
## Build Your Own WordPress Theme
Use Create Block Theme to design, customise & export without code
Creating your own WordPress theme used to mean writing PHP, CSS and template files from scratch. That is no longer always the case.
In this session, we’ll look at Create Block Theme, a free WordPress plugin that lets you customise a modern block theme visually and then export those changes as your own theme.
