#WordPressWednesday 2016 Volume 7

This week’s #WordPressWednesday roundup includes articles about Optinmonster’s new features, a new editorial calendar plugin, a guide on WP_Query, WordPress 4.6 Release candidate, and more.

I’ve made this week’s roundup a bit short by a few links because WordCamp Oklahoma City is coming up, and I’ll be presenting there. I also am crunched for time because next week, I’ll be traveling to Los Angeles for BlogHer16 (event is August 4-6, 2016.)

While, it’s not necessary, I’d like to give an extra shoutout to the companies that sponsored my BlogHer trip that also often give back to the WordPress Community.

• GoDaddy
• Optinmonster
• Red8 Interactive
• Sitelock
• WP101

You can also see them on the sidebar of Blondish.net’s blog and some pages until September 1, 2016. Thank you for helping me to teach others WordPress at BlogHer16.
