    Join us and get help with your development project for the WordPress block editor, be it plugin or theme or tool.

    Developer Hours are a new event series, geared towards WordPress developers.

    You will be able to discuss with three expert panelists any topic around building blocks, using create-block, building themes, build other tools for the block editor.

    We start out with an introduction of the panelists, and then we tackle the topics coming from your questions/answers upon registration.

    Bring your questions questions, share code, demo features, and get advice from the expert panel. It would be helpful to send them in with your registration, so our panelist can be prepared a bit.

    You can sign up now. We will post about our panelists, the topics, and the zoom link, when we get closer to the event.

    From the first event, we learn, people would like to be able to revisit the event and a recording will be made. It will be available afterwards with a shared resources document.

    PS: The discussions can become quite technical and there might be code in this event.

  • Honey, I Broke My Website! What To Do When Site Editing Goes Wrong

    Have you been experimenting with a block theme and the site editor--only to discover things have gone horribly wrong?

    Have you edited your website, only for your post or page to show nothing at all?

    Did you pick a color, change your mind, and realize you weren't sure where to go to fix it?

    If so, you're not alone!

    Join me for this beginner-level ride-along as we explore some of the common pitfalls in full site editing--and what you can do when you discover you've accidentally broken something.

    In this ride-along workshop, will cover...
    -How to recover deleted theme blocks
    -How to determine where a user's preference might be
    -How to reset a template to its default (when things go REALLY wrong!)
    -Where to find help when you're totally suck

    We will be using a broken theme as a basis for this conversation; the idea is that this session will be a group exploration of this topic rather than a top-down webinar, so if you like a good puzzle, this social learning space is for you.
