How to use it?
Our intention is to help explain some of the changes and how to use them.
If you’ve already installed WordPress 5.9 you may have already seen the About WordPress 5.9 page. If you want to see it again, visit the About WordPress page under the WordPress logo in the Admin bar.
https://example.com/wp-admin/about.php
where you replace example.com with your own website address. e.g.
https://wp-pompey.org.uk/wp-admin/about.php
SPEAKERS
To be confirmed. The usual suspects (ie the co-organisers – Abha, Drew, Herb and Scott ) might have something to say on each topic. Plus, I know the Marketing team have been working hard on preparing for WordPress 5.9 so maybe we’ll hear from some of them too.
