Title: DIY WordPress Site Management: Configure, Launch, and Maintain<\/h4>\r\n\r\n

WordPress\u2019s content management system is only one piece of a very large puzzle. Acronyms abound as a site prepares for launch\u2014from DNS to SSL to CDN, you\u2019re up against a series of technical tasks that need to go well to go live. Once you get to launch, there\u2019s a whole litany of concepts a site owner ought to understand: optimizing and maintaining SEO, keeping the site secure, monitoring performance, tracking analytics, and keeping everything up to date. Plus, what do you do when performance slows down, or your site gets hacked, or users aren\u2019t converting like you expect? In this session, I\u2019ll give an introduction to everything from domain hosting to site launching to cleaning a hacked site\u2014sharing proven tools I\u2019ve used to help hundreds of clients. You\u2019ll get a better idea of what you can manage on your own and better understand the things you can\u2019t (or don\u2019t want to).<\/p>\r\n\r\n

About Ben<\/h4>\r\n\r\n

Ben is the Senior Support Technician at WordImpress, the makers of Give, the most robust donation platform for WordPress. He also created Better Click To Tweet, the most popular WordPress Plugin for adding Click to Tweet boxes to WordPress posts and pages. A lifelong North Carolinian (with a 4-year break in Middle Tennessee just after college), Ben is also one of the organizers for WordCamp Raleigh, having led the team in 2017. When not coding or solving code puzzles to support users, you’ll find him with a guitar in hand or perhaps playing a round of disc golf. He’d lobby for it being called just “golf” and making that other game “ball golf” or perhaps “expensive ball golf.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Title: How to Get Better Support.<\/h4>\r\n\r\n

In this talk, using years of experience helping users in both free and premium plugin support, Ben will take you through what makes a good support request, how you can create better support requests, and how good support requests make WordPress better for everyone. Do you know that there’s a link between your support tickets and better documentation? Do you find yourself frustrated at developers and support reps who can’t seem to diagnose issues arising from their plugins or themes? Do you want to find better answers to your support questions, more quickly? Plus, the two-minute method of solving +50% of your support requests before you even send them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
