Join the Online WordPress Portsmouth Meetup on 18th December 2024 for a team exploration of WordPress Playground.
According to https://wordpress.org/playground
WordPress Playground is “WordPress with one click“…
WordPress Playground is the platform that lets you run WordPress instantly on any device without a host. It’s your place to build, experiment, test, and grow.
Apparently you can do loads of stuff.
Let’s see what we can discover in an hour or so.
🏕️ WHO CAN ATTEND?
All levels of experience of WordPress and website publishing welcome. We are a learning and development group. We welcome WordPress beginners.
Please sign-up if you intend to join the Meetup. If you are new to the group, please can you complete your Meetup profile to help us plan topics.

Slides
Videos
The Zoom recording of the meeting has been split into several videos, some of which are now uploaded to YouTube. I’ve deleted the playback of Adam and Anne’s videos and embedded them in the correct sequence.
One more video to come…. this is where I spend ages trying to find how to do things in the WordPress Playground. At the end Paul Tansom said “that will take some editing”. Having watched it I’ve decided to save the last part untouched.
I’ll probably put a timeline for this video in YouTube.
