WordPress unterstützt zwar die Lokalisierung von Websites, aber keine mehrsprachigen Websites. Erst Plugins wie WPML, Polylang oder MultilingualPress machen WordPress mehrsprachig – und verfolgen dabei sehr unterschiedliche Ansätze. In dieser Session geht es einerseits darum, wie man eine WordPress-Website lokalisiert (inkl. Übersetzung von Language Packs), und andererseits darum, wie sich der Übersetzungsprozess mit den verschiedenen Mehrsprachigkeits-Plugins gestaltet.

Do you have a passion for blogging? Coding? Making silly pictures, GIFs, or videos? You should get paid for it. While it isn’t quite the easy-going, picturesque career most influencers proclaim it is, freelance content creation is an incredible job that allows you to express yourself in fun, exciting ways. And Jake wants to help you get started. In this talk, Jacob Crawford will share how he turned his blogging hobby into a full-time career and examine the pitfalls that plague most freelancers, such as time tracking, finding clients, determining rates, and filing taxes.

Being a blogger sounds like fun, but not when you are staring at an empty calendar you have committed to filling with content.

Walk away with a solid plan and the confidence to start creating great value for your readers.

Charles will discuss plugins that he finds work well for donation-based model websites, and share ways to create a user experience to increase donations and awareness. Proper theme selection, SEO, and plugins not only enhance the way we tell a nonprofit’s story, but also build brand awareness and in turn create a sense of comfort for the donor that they are supporting a cause which resonates with them. Whether the cause relates to animal welfare, orphans or trafficking, a properly designed site can attract donor dollars and exposure that the organisation might not have otherwise.

Succeeding as a WordPress publisher entails many elements, including timely and engaging content, knowing your audience, outstanding SEO, listening to your users, amplifying your content, and others.
