What we're about

Whether you’re a first-time blogger or seasoned developer, there’s always more to learn. From community members all over the world, the vast resources available on Learn WordPress (https://learn.wordpress.org/) will help you learn more about WordPress and teach it to others.

One of the best ways to learn is through social discussions with others. The meetups here bring together people around the content hosted on learn.wordpress.org (http://learn.wordpress.org/) for live discussions and learning. We share knowledge, exchange ideas, and learn from each other. When you sign up for a meetup, please take the time to watch the suggested workshop(s) in advance where necessary.

WordPress Global Community Sponsors help fund WordPress Meetup groups and WordCamps around the world. Thank you to GreenGeeks, WooCommerce, Jetpack, Bluehost, and GoDaddy Pro for their support!

Zero to Block Theme Series #2: theme.json

Online event

Welcome to the second session of Zero to Block Theme: Foundations

This SLS was rescheduled from January 19th to January 26th; thank you all for your patience!

What this series is about:

Have you ever wondered how themes are developed?

Or, have you ever ventured into the backend of your WordPress website and wondered just what, exactly, you were looking at?

Finally, have you ever wanted to learn the very basics of WordPress block theme development ?

If so, this intermediate learn-up series is for you!

Last Week
Last week’s session covered setting up your first local installation of WordPress, finding your way into WordPress’ actual core files, creating a child theme, and changing a color using theme.json.

This Week
Now that you’re able to find all the files that make up a WordPress theme, we’ll discuss at a high level the primary parts of a block theme, including index.php, style.css, functions.php, parts, templates, and, most excitingly, theme.json.

This session will provide a high-level overview of the most important parts of your theme, then dig into theme.json so that you can start experimenting with this feature immediately. It will also be recorded.

If you were unable to attend last week's session #1 (Foundations) and are a beginner to WordPress development work, we recommend watching the recording before attending this social learning space. For the time being, the recording of last week's session can be found here:
