February 26: Keeping Your WordPress Safe

Français ci-dessous.

Keeping Your WordPress SafeOur next event focuses on security!

Let’s face it: you never want to wake up one morning with your WordPress install hacked – or even worse, your clients’ sites.

Google flags your URL as malware. Your hosting company disables your account. Your email accounts end up on blacklists. Anything like this can put your reputation and your business in jeopardy – and that’s if you’re aware of it. A hacker can even take over a site without your knowledge!

Security is a crucial topic for every WordPress user. This event will feature of a presentation by Carl Alexander covering best practices around the configuration and maintenance of your WordPress site, followed by a “show and tell” segment. Come share your own best practices with the community. You might even learn a thing or two in the process!

This show-and-tell event will give you a chance to share with the community things you wished you’d known when you first started using WordPress.

Instead of the usual developer meetup, we decided to organize a “Plugin Slam” event this month!

This plugin show-and-tell event will give you a chance to share a plugin you love or that does something cool, and tell the group why you recommend it. It could even be a plugin you’ve developed yourself. If you like, you can share a list of your must-have plugins that get installed on every site. Everyone will get five minutes to present, but if you’d rather just watch that’s OK too.
