WCEU Latest Updates

WordCamp Europe 2024 is just a few weeks away! We also have some exciting news to share!

WordCamp Europe has been granted a prestigious patronage from the European Parliament.

Patronage is a way for the European Parliament to grant its moral support to a selected number of non-profit quality events with a clear European dimension.

You can read more about this on the WCEU website.

Who are we going to see at WCEU? Stop by the HeroPress Slack and let is know, I’d love to touch base with you!


HeroPress.comFrom Blogging to WordPress Communities: A Bolivian tale – De Blogger a comunidades de WordPress: Una historia boliviana

Carla Doria Medina

We have far fewer HeroPressers from South America than I’d like, which is one reason I’m so grateful to Carla Doria Medina from Bolivia.

Soon after finding there wasn’t any community, I started to dig more information about what was needed to organize one. I talked about the idea with some colleagues and they provided good insights. But I was still debating inside myself, who would start it? Was it me? It couldn’t be. It was true I provided technical support for blogs and websites, but I knew nothing about coding, plugin or theme development. It had to be somebody else, an expert WordPress developer,  not me.

Carla’s essay is available on HeroPress.com.
