  • Calling all local WordPress agencies in 2021

    Towards the end of 2019, we published this blog post “Calling all local WordPress agencies”. In this post we outlined our objective to double the number of WordPress Portsmouth Meetup members from 130 to 260. Well, We didn’t quite achieve the target – membership on Jan 18th is 242. Our growth was not in response to any effort to contact local WordPress agencies. So let’s try again in 2021. Calling all local WordPress agencies In 2021 we want to grow the WordPress Portsmouth Meetup group’s membership. We want to attract more members from WordPress agencies. We’ll be writing to local…

  • Belated report from WordUp Pompey! March 2018

    The WordPress Portsmouth Meetup in March 2018 took the form of a clinic where people briefly described their immediate problems then we teamed up to help solve them. In case there were no problems I prepared 4 problems associated with our Meetup group’s websites. https://www.slideshare.net/bobbingwide/wordup-pompey-march-2018 Suffice it to say We didn’t need them. I have been working on them. Here’s a sanitised list of some of the topics that were raised. Migration from WordPress eCommerce to WooCommerce: How to map taxonomies? Should customer lists and orders be migrated? Any recommendations for an RSS aggregator? Do we have to read all…

  • WordUp Pompey!
    6 years old today

    WordUp Pompey!’s first meeting was held 6 years ago today in Old Portsmouth. The WordPress meetups themselves lasted just under a year, but the website has remained. I’d like to restart a WordPress meetup for Portsmouth, South Hampshire, West Sussex or wherever. Somewhere nearer than Brighton, Bournemouth and London But I don’t really want to do it on my own. Is there anyone out there who is willing to help, or even take the lead? And are there people who are interested anyway? If so, contact me via this website or the Herb Miller Summary of WordUp Pompey! Meetings Here’s…

    It’s been a long time since the last WordUp Pompey! We’re thinking of restarting in 2015. In the mean time, if you’re based in Portsmouth and are keen on PHP then why not take a look at PHPHants.
