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.
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.
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.

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 50 pages every time there's some GDPR news?
Avada theme issues:
Why do image file sizes increase?
Is it true that related posts ignores the post's category?
How do I integrate a booking form?
Live editing with Fusion builder:
How do I clone a page?
What happens if I save a live page as draft?
How should I name my image files?
Is there an SEO friendly way to format addresses and phone numbers
What's the difference between a widget in a side bar and a widget in content?
What's the best way of saying "We're on holiday"?
What parts of the database needs to be encrypted for GDPR? Can it be done?
Who can help me with my Two Factor Authentication project.
Where do I learn about WP-CLI?
Do I still need a domain mapping plugin for WordPress MultiSite. Is Mercator much better than my current plugin?
How do I get in the building when I arrive late?
I'd love to hear from everyone whether or not they found solutions to their problems.
After a 2 month break ( June and July ) WordUp Pompey! reconvened at the end of August for a look at the Top-10-Wordpress-plugins.
It was a fairly interactive session, led by Herb Miller of BobbingWide and oik-plugins.
WordUp Pompey for February was kindly hosted by Penny and John Plimmer, Japcis Photographic, at their studios in Horndean. Herb Miller of BobbingWide presented on two topics: Shortcodes and Responsive web design. There was lovely discussion on other topcs: including company logos, which way should slideshows slide, mobile apps and more
WordUp Pompey! slideshows, 21st December 2011, not including Roger Marsh's slideshow on browsers, HTML and CSS, which was a lead in to an interactive demonstration of "hacking the BBC website using Firebug"
Due to unforseen circumstances, the WordUp Pompey! meeting that I was planning for 26th January 2012 (Australia Day) has had to be cancelled.
So kick off for WordUp Pompey will now be in late February.
Since this site was created there have been over 500 registrations. Of those less than 1% have been from people who have bothered to contact us to find out what happened with their registration confirmation.
So I’ve turned off the “anyone can register” capability to attempt to reduce the amount of spam registrations.
