Discover the possibilities of using WordPress with WPCoventry in a relaxed and inclusive group
WPCoventry is a WordPress-focused community based in Coventry, UK, hosting monthly meetups to bring together WordPress enthusiasts of all levels. Meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month at The Telegraph Hotel in central Coventry and are free to attend. These events aim to foster learning and collaboration, covering a wide range of WordPress-related topics like themes, plugins, SEO, and site security.
