  • Ben Meredith: How To Get Better Support

    WordCamp Pittsburgh 2018Speaker: Ben Meredith

    December 11, 2018 — We’ve all had the experience of a support technician being seemingly unable to answer our questions about their theme, plugin, or service.

    Believe it or not, theme and plugin developers and their support techs really do want to help you.

    Do you know that there’s a link between your support tickets and better documentation?
