WordPress PortHarcourt Community

I'll be speaking twice at @cloudfest this year: moderating a panel on Monday on what AI actually changes for WordPress hosting (a question I find very interesting right now), and giving a solo session on Wednesday on scaling AI for WordPress hosts and agencies. My argument is basically that WordPress is very well positioned for this moment and will explain why. webhosting.today listed my Wednesday talk as one not to miss. No pressure 😅 @elemntor is also sponsoring CloudFest this year with a focus on Angie, our AI creation engine for WordPress. Come find us at the booth if you want to see what that means in practice for hosts, agencies and developers. Look for the pink 🩷 #CloudFest

Special moment at WordCampPHC Bruce Lucas took a pause during his session to recognize Emmanuel Eluwa for the work done with WordPressPHC. It wasn’t just applause, it was acknowledgment of impact. Of building. Of showing up. Of creating spaces that empower others.

This wasn’t just an event. It was proof that Port Harcourt is building something bigger. #WordCampPHC #WordCampPortHarcourt #WordCamp #WordPressPHC #WordPressPortHarcourt #WordPress

And when it was time to close, people still stayed back. Still talking. Still connecting. That’s how you know it mattered. #WordCampPHC #WordCampPortHarcourt #WordCamp #WordPressPHC #WordPressPortHarcourt #WordPress

Promise Ochibry’s session, Building to Scale: The Legal Way to Stay Safe Growth is exciting. But growth without structure? Risky. From proper documentation to compliance and protecting your intellectual property.

Bruce Lucas’ session on The Business of Web Design was a reality check in the best way. He broke down what most designers ignore: Process. Profit. Sustainability. Because talent alone doesn’t build a business. Structure does.

Daniel Ayoola’s session on Figma → WordPress with Elementor was practical and straight to the point. 🔥 If you’ve ever struggled moving from design to build, that session was gold. #WordCampPHC #WordCampPortHarcourt #WordCamp #WordPressPHC #WordPressPortHarcourt #WordPress

Gloria Ojukwu’s session on product mindset for WordPress designers was powerful. She challenged us to stop thinking like “just designers” and start thinking like product builders. It’s not just about colors and layouts.

The WordPress Q&A session was where raw questions. Honest answers. From career paths to plugins, nothing was off the table. #WordCampPHC #WordCampPortHarcourt #WordCamp #WordPressPHC #WordPressPortHarcourt #WordPress

Chiehiura Basil’s design session, from layout choices to visual hierarchy, she reminded everyone that design is not decoration. It’s communication. You could see designers nodding. You could see developers rethinking their approach. That session? Solid. 🎨💙

The Jetpack booth at WordCamp Port Harcourt was a whole vibe. People didn’t just stop for swag, they stopped to learn how to make their WordPress sites faster, safer, and smarter with Jetpack.

The networking session at WordCamp Port Harcourt wasn’t just handshakes, contacts and business cards. Beginners getting their first real industry advice. Conversations that started in that room will turn into jobs, partnerships, products, and maybe even startups.

Adebayo Chike brought clarity and fire to the stage. 🔥 No fluff. Just real experience, honest lessons, and practical insight you can actually use. #WordCampPHC #WordCampPortHarcourt #WordCamp #WordPressPHC #WordPressPortHarcourt #WordPress

Yusuf Odukoya didn’t just speak — he shifted perspective. 🔥 Clear insights. Real experience. Practical takeaways. #WordCampPHC #WordCampPortHarcourt #WordCamp #WordPressPHC #WordPressPortHarcourt #WordPress

Saifur‑Rahman Yusuf’s session at WordCamp Port Harcourt 2026, his talk was on: “Accessibility, Inclusive Design & Practical WordPress Project Management.” He focused on how to make websites usable for everyone (not just some users), why inclusive design matters.

Community-led doesn’t mean community-funded alone. It means partners who understand the long-term value of ecosystem growth. Thank you to our sponsors for standing with us. #WordCampPHC #WordCampPortHarcourt #WordCamp #WordPressPHC #WordPressPortHarcourt #WordPress

Emmanuel Eluwa, launched us into the event talking about the theme of this year's WordCamp which is "Youth, Skills & The Future of Work" encouraging attendees who were hearing about WordPress for the first time to keep an open mind, be curious and ask questions. #WordCampPHC
