Time: 2:00 - 6:00 pm (PDT) (UTC-07:00)
Location: Room 2: Stamm East
Format: Hands-on Workshop

Session description

Maintaining, updating, securing, and supporting a WordPress site takes time. If you have multiple installations across—or even within—faculties or departments, this time can add up quick. This workshop will give you the knowledge and fundamentals of how WordPress multisite can help get back some of that time.

You’ll learn when—and importantly when not—to use multisite, how to keep branding consistent across multiple web properties, how to share content (including media) across sites, how to help content creators meet and surpass accessibility guidelines, how to leverage WP-CLI to its fullest extent to save you time and aid in making fewer mistakes, and how to help faculty use WordPress as a teaching aid.
