Everyone is welcome and encouraged to join in, comment on posts, and participate in meetings and on projects.
Our Current Priority Lesson Plans:
- How to Create a Blog Post in WordPress 5 (we will later rename this to something like Block Editor Overview to match Classic/Content Editor Overview, Intro to the Block Editor may be a good resource)
- Block Directory – see Intro to the Block Directory for a how-to video guide.
- Block Patterns – see Intro to Block Patterns for a how-to video guide.
- Core Sitemaps – see the Field Guide section about Sitemaps.
- Core Auto-Updates – see the Field Guide section about Auto-Updates.
- Child Themes: Twenty-Twenty (this should be similar to Twenty Sixteen lesson but revised for the Twenty Twenty theme)
- Child Themes: Twenty-Nineteen (again, similar to Twenty Sixteen lesson but with Twenty-Nineteen)
- If you’d like to review existing lesson plans, see https://wptrainingteam.github.io/.
