Advanced WordPress Class in Progress
I’m in Grand Rapids for three days with a group of WordPress site designers and developers enjoying a fantastic course being taught by Topher DeRosia.
If you’ve taken any of our recent WordPress courses, you’ll recognize that name. Topher is our online instructor and a very knowledgeable WordPress developer.
Topher is based here in Grand Rapids and has been creating websites for over 15 years. Eight developers travelled from as far away as London, Ontario, Canada to join us for these three days.
We’re covering:

- Part 4: Creation of STAFF CCT with meta boxes and custom fields.
- Part 5: Creation of DEPARTMENT CCT with meta boxes and custom fields.
- Part 6: Install and Review Posts2Posts Plugin.
- Part 7: Create some content for testing.
