WordUp Warsaw #beginners

On 14 May 2019 in Warsaw the next meeting of people interested in WordPress will take place. This time we're providing a solid dose of knowledge for beginners and continuing the #track beginners. Those taking their first steps in the WordPress environment will get a solid injection of knowledge, and the more experienced should also benefit from attending the meetup.

  • TOPIC: A plugin compendium.

Plugins are one of the most important elements of the WordPress ecosystem. That's why it's worth knowing how to choose them, how to manage them and learning useful facts related to them. I'll also discuss a few noteworthy plugins that come in handy in everyday work with WordPress.

Remember! WordUp requires free sign-up on Meetup, because we have a limited number of seats in the room. If you've signed up, please come. But if you can't make it - make room for others and let us know. Thank you!

WordUp isn't just talks! Bring your business cards. We want — and we hope you do too — to get to know one another, so we'll do a short networking session.
