Ben Meredith will discuss “Leveling Up Your WordPress Troubleshooting Skills.”
What makes a guy with a bachelors in religious studies and no formal web training into a web developer with hundreds of thousands of downloads of his projects?
WordPress does.
Meredith is a developer, focused on the human interaction with WordPress. He thrives on making users (and their sites) play nicely with developers (and their products) — like an ambassador from one to the other.
He works full time for Give, the donation platform for WordPress, where he spends his time wowing customers, cracking jokes and solving problems.

More about Ben Meredith
A graduate of the University of North Carolina and a lifelong North Carolinian (if you don’t count four years in Middle Tennessee), he is a father of two plus a foster toddler, and a husband of one very patient wife.
When he’s not working, he’s likely parenting and reminiscing about having free time to play disc golf and guitar.
Fun facts: Once he gave a Bible to a drunken former KGB agent who was nearly naked. He flew east all the way around the world (with the help of commercial airlines) one summer. He used to have significantly more hair to an embarrassing extent.
