The Toronto WordPress Group

The WordPress Toronto Meetup group is sponsored by InstaWP.

Here’s a short YouTube video on testing, building, and deploying websites with ease and streamlining your WordPress workflow with InstaWP.

Make your help request by adding a comment in the comments section below prior to the meeting and explain your issue or problem. We address requests in the comments first. and then requests made during the meeting.

In your request for assistance, be clear and concise. Include your website URL and any other relevant links. Let us know what steps you've taken to fix your problem and where you're stuck. If there are any fixes or issues that the group can't get to in time, someone in the meetup may tackle them with you one-on-one online.

In this session, we're making some improvements in the way we handle requests. The key one for people requesting assistance is to come to the session with the following details of your site:

1. the URL of or link to your site and the admin login
2. the host for the site and the host account login
3. the site's theme name
4. the names of any plugins relevant to the request
5. the most recent backup of the site

Important — backup your site

The hosts and attendees are not responsible for any breaks that may occur during the process of attempting to fix your site at the meeting or afterwards. The hosts strongly recommend that you have a backup of your site in case something unexpected happens.

Be prepared to share your site's admin dashboard page

We recommend that you attend the session using a desktop or notebook computer so that you can login into your site and share your screen during the discussion of your problem or issue.

Comments from our attendees

Wow, what an awesome group of helpful folks! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I am not a web developer but I like to control my site in order to make small changes. This was the 2nd time I had an issue with my website and decided to attend the "Fix-it" session. They always come through with the right solution!! 👍🏽

I'm so grateful to the host and all the experts who volunteered their time to help this novice!! 🤭 Sherine C. (2023-03-21)

Learned a lot from the others as they found their solutions as well."Thanks for a great session. It was helpful to get some answers and see what other WPers are facing." Tim H.

"Thanks for your help at the Meetup! This is the first one I’ve been to that is so genuinely focused on helping people solve the challenges they are having with their site. Everyone got a chance to share what they wanted fixed and Alex and other people helped solve the issues. It was good to see all the brainstorming and the solutions! I would highly recommend going to this Meetup." Heather M.

"Great to see practically all members contributing to solve problems. Perhaps one day soon, this newbie will have something constructive to contribute as well." Heinrich D.
