WPSLC

We decided to switch it up a bit and go with a different format this month. We’re going to have a short ice-breaker presentation, then we’re going to work together to plan and set up the foundation for the wpslc.com community site.

We’ll dive into site architecture, some of the CMS capabilities of WordPress, and probably dabble in BuddyPress.

Bring your laptop with you and your thinking cap. We’ll essentially build a WordPress site from the ground up, and this is no dummy site… it’s a real site with a real purpose. It should be fun, informative, and you’ll meet some people in the local WordPress user community. :)

We will have extension cables and power strips on hand in case we need them. We’ll also have a projector and whiteboard(s) if needed.

This meetup is designed for intermediate to advanced WordPress users (not necessarily just developers– designers and general users have a LOT to contribute, especially to a site designed for them).

I’m looking for a WordPress Developer.

I was just recommended this site (though it looks like it hasn’t bee updated in a while…).

Basically, I run a theater review site. Here’s what I’m looking to do:

BACKGROUND

• I’m using the Genesis framework
• I’ve created a custom post type called “productions”
• In Posts in the Review Category there is a custom field referencing all entries in Productions. I select which production the review pertains to.

GOAL

• I’d like to display content from that custom field in my sidebar. Namely, the production title be displayed in the sidebar of an individual review.
• Ideally I’d also like to display other meta information contained in that production record.

I’ve set aside some development funds to accomplish this. If you’re interested and able, let me know.

I’m working on a project right now that I’d like to make into a family history research ‘network.’ I’m planning to use multisite, and I’m wondering if there’s any (not-terribly-complex) way to pull feeds from the various blogs to a sort of “master” feed on the primary site… similar to what WordPress.com does on FoodPress.com. Any ideas?

Remember our meetup is tomorrow, 7 pm at SEO.com (the office, not the web address…). :)

AJ Wilcox will be presenting some SEO tips for WordPress (how to, what to do/not do, etc.), and I’ll be covering our beginner topic at the start, talking about pages and posts this week. Light refreshments provided… invite your friends for a great evening!
