To gain priority for your "help" request, please explain your issue prior to the meeting in the comments section below on meetup.com. We will address these issues first.

Participating before the meetup by submitting your question with your URL in the Comment section will allow attendees and hosts to offer immediate advice before the meeting and get your question PRIORITIZED at the meetup. Please be clear, concise and include your website and all relevant links. Let us know what steps you've taken to try to fix your problem and where you're stuck. If there are any fixes or issues that the group can't get to in time, someone in the meetup may tackle them with you 1 on 1, online or in the next meeting.

***Important Note*** The hosts/attendees are not responsible for any breaks that may occur during the process of attempting to fix your site at the meeting (or afterwards). The hosts HIGHLY recommend you have a backup of your site, just in case something unexpected happens. You can also let us know that you'd like ideas on fixes rather than actually attempting a fix during the meeting.

A video of previous meetups, recaps with links and chat summaries are available online.

Comments from our attendees:

"Thanks, Alex and company for a great session. It was helpful to get some answers and see what other WPers are facing." Tim H.

"Thanks for your help at the Meetup! This is the first one I’ve been to that is so genuinely focused on helping people solve the challenges they are having with their site. Everyone got a chance to share what they wanted fixed and Alex and other people helped solve the issues. It was good to see all the brainstorming and the solutions! I would highly recommend going to this Meetup." Heather M.

"Great to see practically all members contributing to solve problems. Perhaps one day soon, this newbie will have something constructive to contribute as well." Heinrich D.

"Not Beginner" series:
------------------
This is a meetup in our "Not Beginner" series. This series includes anything that is, well, not a beginner/introductory level topic. Thus, talks in this series will range from not very advanced at all - just barely above beginner - to deep dive dev talks.

Anyone at any experience level is welcome to attend, but for "not beginner" talks there will be an assumption in the presentations and discussion that attendees have some knowledge of WordPress, and/or the presented topic.

Gutenberg 101/Blocks - How to get along with, and even like WordPress's block editor
---
Blocks have been a part of WordPress for 3 years now. Are you using blocks? In this talk we will be covering everything you need to know to effectively use blocks and even replace your current page builder with WordPress's block editor, aka Gutenberg. See how you can create great content with native WordPress tools and free and paid add-ons!

There will be tips and tricks for using blocks, demos of add-on block libraries, and notes about themes for blocks.

If you are not yet using blocks, or if they are disabled on your site, attend this session and see why you should be using the block editor and learn tips & tricks to help you get along with, and even like using it.
