Join the Online WordPress Portsmouth Meetup on 23rd October 2024 for a sneak preview of the Twenty Twenty-Five theme with a presentation entitled “Migrating to Twenty Twenty-Five”.
During the meeting I ( Herb Miller ) will attempt to explain the process that I followed to migrate from a child theme of the classic theme Twenty Eleven to a block based child theme of Twenty Twenty-Five.
We’ll see the original site ( https://top-10-wp-plugins.com ) running the oobit theme and the development version of the site running a child theme of Twenty Twenty-Five, imaginatively named oobit-2025.
The presentation will be a mixture of slides and live demo.
As usual the slides will be available here.
