Posted on by Kim White

We are very happy to have PaidMembershipPro return as a Silver Sponsor of WordCamp Lehigh Valley.  Not only does this plugin rock but the folks who are behind the code and support are truly great people!

Paid Memberships Pro

The Most Complete Membership Plugin for Your WordPress Site.

Paid Memberships Pro is 100% GPL and available for free from the WordPress repository or on our website. The plugin adds a new revenue source to your WordPress-powered website with extensive features for level setup, pricing, restricting content and membership benefits. Your members can complete checkout and update their billing information directly on your site.

The full version of the plugin is offered with no restrictions or additional licenses required. It’s flexible enough to fit the needs of almost all membership-based companies and organizations and includes extensive hooks, filters, and recipes allowing developers to tailor it to your specific needs. Developers can get involved at our GitHub page.

Get ready to “Eat, drink, rock, and bowl” with us at our after party at Revolutions at Saucon Valley.

Your badge is your ticket!  Anyone coming to the after party MUST have a WCLVPA badge.

Once a movie theater, Revolutions is a spectacular “not your grandfather’s bowling alley”.  Come and get to know fellow WordPressers.   Let this be your “I only bowl every 5 years” time to bowl!  This is a judgment-free zone, gutterballs, goal post, baby splits and washouts are perfectly acceptable!

Get Happy at WordCamp Lehigh Valley

GET HAPPY!or… What is a Happiness Bar???

If you’ve been to WordCamps before, you may be familiar with the Happiness Bar. If not, you may be wondering what it is…and if you should check it out.

The WordCamp Happiness Bar is basically FREE help for your website. The Happiness Bar is staffed with volunteer WordPress users, designers, and developers who are offering their experience and expertise to help you. So what might they be able to help you with?

Plugin advice
Theme advice
CSS help
HTML help
Code issues
Security advice

Who Staffs the Happiness Bar?

Volunteers. Everything that happens at WordCamp happens because of volunteers. From the organizers to the speakers to the people at the registration table to the Happiness Bar exists because of volunteers. As such, not every volunteer may be able to solve every issue. If they can’t…they can usually direct you to someone or resources who can.

Sometimes our speakers will head to the Happiness Bar after their talks, too. So if you want to “continue the conversation” that’s a great place to be.

Why Visit the Happiness Bar?

Whether you have a question you need answering, code that needs to be reviewed or just want to get some work done, this is the place to be. Come and ask questions, answer questions and meet new friends. If it’s a WordPress question, you can ask it at the Happiness Bar!

Please Note: Not all problems can be solved quickly and easily. Although the Happiness Bar is a place to get you going in the right direction, you might need to continue the conversation after WordCamp. And, not to disappoint you, but that might cost money. Volunteers will do their best to help you as much as possible during the weekend, but sometimes, you just need a professional.
