About this event

What to expect

Join WordPress enthusiasts from across the UK, Europe, and the US for an interactive online discussion exploring how ChatGPT and other AI tools are transforming WordPress development. This session, hosted by WordPress Cambridge, brings together developers of all skill levels to share real-world experiences with AI-assisted coding and learn practical techniques for leveraging AI in WordPress 6.9 projects.

What You'll Learn

This isn't a lecture — it's a collaborative discussion where attendees share their experiences and learn from each other. Regular community members will demonstrate how they've used AI tools for various WordPress development tasks, including creating complete one-page websites, building custom plugins, generating code snippets, and writing theme customizations. You'll discover how AI can help generate theme code, child themes, shortcodes, blocks, custom CSS, JavaScript, PHP snippets, and functions.php edits.

The session will cover critical considerations for working with AI-generated code, including how to craft effective prompts that specify your exact WordPress version, PHP version, active theme, and relevant plugins. Learn techniques for asking AI to cite WordPress developer documentation, avoid deprecated functions, and explain compatibility assumptions — treating AI-generated code with the same scrutiny you'd apply to any untested development work.

Who Should Attend

Whether you're a WordPress beginner exploring AI tools for the first time or an experienced developer looking to optimize your workflow, this meetup welcomes everyone. The discussion format encourages questions at any level, with friendly regulars ready to share their knowledge and experiences. Screen sharing is encouraged, allowing you to show your own AI experiments or challenges.

Event Format

The evening begins at 7:00 PM UK time with quick introductions where you can share your WordPress journey. At 7:15 PM, the open discussion begins with live Q&A and attendee contributions. The session wraps up officially at 9:00 PM, though conversations often continue beyond. Around 8:30 PM, the group will brainstorm topics for next month's meetup, ensuring the community continues to address the most relevant and timely WordPress development challenges.

This online event offers a unique opportunity to connect with a diverse, international WordPress community and gain practical
