Welcome to the official blog for the WordPress Support team.

Need help with a WordPress issue? You can find help with your WordPress problem by posting in the support forums or asking on the #wordpress IRC channel.

Want to get involved?

Answering a question in the support forums or on IRC is one of the easiest ways to get started. Everyone knows the answer to something!

We have a detailed handbook to help contributors learn how to work with the forums and IRC.

Moving Sept 20th Weekly Chat!

After talking to Esmi and Andrea, we’re going to test something this week (aka tomorrow).

The chat will be at UTC 2100 – That is three hours later.

10pm London
6pm Andrea Time
5pm US Eastern
2pm US Pacific
2:30am (Friday) Bangalore

If this works out, we may move it permanently.

Apologies for my brevity this week, Jewish New Year + getting on a plane in 5 hours. If you have some time, please hit up anything on https://make.wordpress.org/support/user-manual/ that isn’t checked off (or has someone’s name). If it has your name, you know what to do 😉

Late update 🙁

I won’t make the chat. Was in a minor car accident this morning.

  Oh!
  
  Hope everything is fine at your end. Take care.

    I’m okay. Shook up and sore. Car’s drivable.
Pali Madra 8:03 pm on September 20, 2012

Since it would be pretty late for me 2:30 AM I will not be able to make it.

May I request a new page (one or more) be added and assigned to me. Thanks.

How about moving onto Pages? Or is that too much like your last page? 😉
- Pali Madra 5:03 pm on September 24, 2012
  
  I can move on to the pages @esmi but I’m not too sure about how to create a page. So if you can help me with that then I can get started. Thanks.
