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.

Team meeting agenda week #49

Agenda items for this week’s meetupMeetup All local/regional gatherings that are officially a part of the WordPress world but are not WordCamps are organized through https://www.meetup.com/. A meetup is typically a chance for local WordPress users to get together and share new ideas and seek help from one another. Searching for ‘WordPress’ on meetup.com will help you find options in your area.:

WordPress 4.1 beta2 – In all the 4.0.1 excitement (which was really minor but that’s a very important patch) I totally neglected that 4.1 is coming out Real Soon Now™. How’s that going? Is everyone testing?
The Handbook Welcome Pages – These need to be more welcome’ey.
Semi-Annual Mod/Admin cleanup – I’m a little late but it’s time to review who has mod/admin privileges. If you’ve not posted in the forums within 6 months then you may be contacted by me via email about if you still want/need that level of access.

Please reply in the comments for any ideas that you’d like to have included.

I took a stab at a more welcoming welcome. Putting the draft here seems to be the right thing to do. 🙂

<strong>Welcome to the WordPress Support Handbook</strong>, the number one destination for tips, tricks, and advice regarding giving the best WordPress support possible. This handbook was a community effort and represents over ten years of WordPress support experience. Please feel free to start with the selections to the left, and we hope you enjoy making use of this as much as we enjoyed writing it! :)

<strong>Need help with a WordPress issue?</strong> You can find help with your WordPress problem by posting in the <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/" rel="nofollow">support forums</a> or asking <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/support/irc-support-channel/" rel="nofollow">in IRC</a>.

I figure the “Perhaps you were looking for other documentation?” section can stay as-is.
