Building and Migrating a University Department Website in WordPress

WordPress Meetup Milano's October session, in its new home at the Politecnico. Giovanni Lodovici walks through building and localising a WordPress theme for a university department site under the university's communication guidelines, and how he handled migrating content from a legacy portal, including structural changes to the information architecture. Claudio Ariatti introduces the talk and covers WordPress hosting inside a large public institution. Schedule: 19:00 welcome and networking, 19:20 talk of around fifty minutes, 20:10 questions, 20:30 close with optional networking. Hybrid: the room is in Building 41 on Via Bassini, and it is also streamed on the WordPress Community Italia YouTube channel. The organisers ask people to confirm only if they are sure they will come. Why go: a concrete WordPress migration inside a large, constrained institution, told by the person who did it. Best for people running institutional sites or content migrations.
