Each meet up has something for everyone.

WP Hooked

WP Hooked is a meetup for WordPress core contributors, theme and plugin developers to get together and share issues, ideas and tips about WordPress.

If your main interaction with WordPress is through the admin console, if it’s something that you install and configure rather than build then this meetup probably isn’t for you.

If on the other hand you relish the thought of getting stuck into writing some PHP code, you can handle using the theme editor on a live site as an option, or the thought of managing your own servers isn’t terrifying, then you’ve probably come to the right place.

We welcome speakers from any sphere who can add something to our development.

Repeats on the 2nd Tuesday of every month.
