Whether you&#8217;re just getting started or are more experienced, the Happiness Bar will be there for you at WordCamp Philly 2017!<\/p>\n<p>The volunteers have a variety of skills and provide a non-judgmental atmosphere where you can feel comfortable asking your questions. Even if they can&#8217;t fix your specific problem, they can point you in the right direction. (Of course, they can&#8217;t redesign your site or repair one that has deep-seated problems.)<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few tips to get the most from the Happiness Bar:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Before you go, have your user names and passwords handy and be sure they work. (WordPress login, hosting login, FTP info.) And be sure that your website is backed up!<\/li>\n<li>If you are seeing an error message, copy it and paste it into a plain text file if you can, prior to going to the Happiness Bar.<\/li>\n<li>Be as specific as possible. Ask &#8220;How can I make this headline align to the left?&#8221; rather than &#8220;I can&#8217;t get my website to look right.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Be considerate. Help others get the most from the Happiness Bar by not monopolizing the volunteer&#8217;s time, especially if many people are waiting for help.<\/li>\n<li>Tell the volunteer whether your website is on wordpress.com or is a self hosted site that was made from the software downloaded from wordpress.org.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By the way &#8211; I have no idea why it&#8217;s called The Happiness Bar. But I do know that you&#8217;ll be happier after you go!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Happiness sounds good&#8221;, you say, &#8220;but what IS a Happiness Bar?&#8221; The Happiness Bar is a Help Desk &#8211; where some wonderful volunteers from the WordPress community are ready to help you troubleshoot your WordPress problems, answer questions and point you to resources you can use after WordCamp Philly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9014065,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-846","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-announcements"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8jIwF-dE","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/philadelphia.wordcamp.org\/2017\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/philadelphia.wordcamp.org\/2017\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/philadelphia.wordcamp.org\/2017\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philadelphia.wordcamp.org\/2017\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9014065"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philadelphia.wordcamp.org\/2017\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=846"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/philadelphia.wordcamp.org\/2017\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/846\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1067,"href":"https:\/\/philadelphia.wordcamp.org\/2017\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/846\/revisions\/1067"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/philadelphia.wordcamp.org\/2017\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philadelphia.wordcamp.org\/2017\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philadelphia.wordcamp.org\/2017\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
