Join the WordPress Portsmouth Meetup on 16th September 2020 to discover what’s new in WordPress 5.5 and how to use it.
By mid September 2020, WordPress 5.5 should have been live for about 5 weeks, the target date for release being 11th August.
There are quite a few changes that affect the end user, including:
Our intention is to help explain some of the changes and how to use them.
You may have already started using WordPress 5.5 and have found things that bug you. Are these real bugs or just niggles? If they are real bugs, how do we report them?
Example: An image cropped in the editor is not attached to the parent page, but the original image that was seleted is attached.
Example: Problem with Media &Text Block. See https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/21399
If we have time we may also discuss what’s planned for WordPress 5.6.
Join the WordPress Portsmouth Meetup on 19th August 2020 for a series of talks given by members of the Plugin Kollektiv on their work supporting some popular plugins available from WordPress.org
The Pluginkollektiv is a group of WordPress folks from Europe, determined to take care of some beloved plugins in the WordPress.org plugin directory. Ever heard of Antispam Bee, Statify or Cachify? Well that’s us.
Three members of the team: Bernhard Kau, Torsten Landsiedel and Simon Kraft will tell us about the project, introduce us to the plugins… and lots more.

For the remaining 6 months of 2020, the WordPress Portsmouth Meetup will remain online. I ( Herb ) will be creating the Events on Meetup.com and the website in due course. The proposed events are as follows.
| Date | Title | Speakers / Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 22 July 2020 | How to build a WordPress website – Part Two | Paul Tansom and Scott McKeown |
| 19 August 2020 | Plugin Kollektiv | Bernhard Kau, Torsten Landsiedel and Simon Kraft |

| 16 December 2020 | Quiz and social | With tinsel and baubles |
Apart from July’s meeting, which was postponed for a week, all are being held on the 3rd Wednesday of the month, from 7pm.
There may still be a clash with other meetups: e.g. Cheltenham, Manchester, Edinburgh. But we do start slightly later. You can, if you wish, try to attend more than one meetup in an evening. I don’t recommend attending meetings concurrently.
We’ll continue to use Zoom and will record some of the meetings. We’ll edit the videos before publishing them on YouTube. This may not be done instantaneously.

This is a great starting point if you’re new to WordPress and want to learn what it takes to get a website up and running.
I should have done this earlier. I thought this was more complicated than it really was
