You’ve probably heard that WordPress is open-source software, and may know that it’s created and run by volunteers. WordPress enthusiasts share many examples of how WordPress changed people’s lives for the better. This monthly series shares some of those lesser-known, amazing stories.
\n\n\n\nJill Binder never meant to become an activist. She insists it was an accident.
\n\n\n\nDespite that, Jill has led the Diversity Outreach Speaker Training working group in the WordPress Community team since 2017. This group is dedicated to increasing the number of women and other underrepresented groups who are stepping up to become speakers at WordPress Meetups, WordCamps, and events.
\n\n\n\nJill’s WordPress story begins in 2011, in Vancouver, Canada. Jill secured an internship for her college program, working on a higher education website that was built in WordPress. As a thank you, her practicum advisor bought Jill a ticket to WordCamp Vancouver 2011: Developer’s Edition. After that Jill began freelancing with WordPress as a Solopreneur.
\n\n\n\nThe following year her internship advisor, who had become a client, was creating the first ever BuddyCamp for BuddyPress. He asked Jill to be on his organizing team. At that event she also moderated a panel with Matt Mullenweg. Then, Jill was invited to be on the core organizing team for WordCamp Vancouver.
\n\n\n\nPart of this role meant reviewing and selecting speakers. From 40 speaker applications the team had to pick only 14 to speak.
\n\n\n\nFor anyone who has organized a conference, you know that speaker selection is hard. Of the 40 applications, 7 were from women, and the lead organizer selected 6 of those to be included in the speaker line up.
\n\n\n\nAt this point Jill wasn’t aware that very few women apply to speak at tech conferences and suggested selection should be made on the best fit for the conference. The team shared that not only did they feel the pitches were good and fit the conference, but they also needed to be accepted or the Organizers would be criticized for a lack of diversity.
\n\n\n\nSelecting women for fear of criticism is embarrassing to admit, but that’s how people felt in 2013.
\n\n\n\nBy the time the event happened, though, the number of women speakers dropped to 4. And with an additional track being added, the number of speakers overall was up to 28. Only 1 speaker in 7 was a woman (or 14%) and attendees did ask questions and even blogged about the lack of representation.
\n\n\n\nLater that year at WordCamp San Francisco—the biggest WordCamp at the time (before there was a WordCamp US)—Jill took the opportunity to chat with other organizers about her experience. She found out that many organizers had trouble getting enough women to present.
\n\n\n\nSurprisingly Vancouver had a high number of women applicants in comparison to others, and the consensus was more would be accepted if only more would apply.
\n\n\n\nJill decided that she needed to know why this was happening? Why weren’t there more women applying? She started researching, reading, and talking to people.
\n\n\n\nThough this issue is complex, two things came up over and over:
\n\n\n\nThen Jill had an idea. She brought up the issue at an event and someone suggested that they should get women together in a room and brainstorm speaker topics.
\n\n\n\nSo Jill became the lead of a small group creating a workshop in Vancouver. In one of the exercises, participants were invited to brainstorm ideas—this proved that they had literally a hundred topic ideas and the biggest problem then became picking just one!
\n\n\n\nIn the first discussion, Jill focussed on:
\n\n\n\nOther cities across North America heard about the workshop and started hosting them, adding their own material.
\n\n\n\nMany women who initially joined her workshop wanted help getting even better at public speaking. So Jill’s team added in some material created from the other cities and a bit more of their own. Such as:
\n\n\n\nAt WordCamp Vancouver 2014—only one year since Jill started—there were 50% women speakers and 3 times the number of women applicants! Not only that, but this WordCamp was a Developer’s Edition, where it’s more challenging to find women developers in general, let alone those who will step up to speak.
\n\n\n\nImpressive as those results were, the reason Jill is so passionate about this work is because of what happened next:
\n\n\n\nJill has seen time and again what happens when different people speak at the front of the room. More people feel welcome in the community. The speakers and the new community members bring new ideas and new passions that help to make the technology we are creating more inclusive. And together we generate new ideas that benefit everyone.
\n\n\n\nThis workshop was so successful, with typical results of 40-60% women speakers at WordCamps, that the WordPress Global Community Team asked Jill to promote it and train it for women and all diverse groups around the world. In late 2017, Jill started leading the Diverse Speaker Training group (#wpdiversity).
\n\n\n\nDozens of community members across the world have now been trained to lead the workshop. With now dozens of workshops worldwide, for WordPress and other open source software projects as well, there is an increase in speaker diversity.
\n\n\n\n![\"Diverse](\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2019/12/image-3.png?fit=632%2C474&ssl=1\")
As a result of the success, Jill is now sponsored to continue the program. She’s proud of how the diversity represented on the stage adds value not only to the brand but also in the long-term will lead to the creation of a better product. She’s inspired by seeing the communities change as a result of the new voices and new ideas at the WordPress events.
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJill’s leadership in the development and growth of the Diversity Outreach Speaker Training initiative has had a positive, measurable impact on WordPress community events worldwide. When WordPress events are more diverse, the WordPress project gets more diverse — which makes WordPress better for more people.”

Introducing our most refined user experience with the improved block editor in WordPress 5.3! Named “Kirk” in honour of jazz multi-instrumentalist Rahsaan Roland Kirk, the latest and greatest version of WordPress is available for download or update in your dashboard.
\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2019/11/divider.png?resize=632%2C159&ssl=1\")
5.3 expands and refines the block editor with more intuitive interactions and improved accessibility. New features in the editor increase design freedoms, provide additional layout options and style variations to allow designers more control over the look of a site.
\n\n\n\nThis release also introduces the Twenty Twenty theme giving the user more design flexibility and integration with the block editor. Creating beautiful web pages and advanced layouts has never been easier.
\n\n\n\nThis enhancement-focused update introduces over 150 new features and usability improvements, including improved large image support for uploading non-optimized, high-resolution pictures taken from your smartphone or other high-quality cameras. Combined with larger default image sizes, pictures always look their best.
\n\n\n\nAccessibility improvements include the integration of block editor styles in the admin interface. These improved styles fix many accessibility issues: color contrast on form fields and buttons, consistency between editor and admin interfaces, new snackbar notices, standardizing to the default WordPress color scheme, and the introduction of Motion to make interacting with your blocks feel swift and natural.
\n\n\n\nFor people who use a keyboard to navigate the dashboard, the block editor now has a Navigation mode. This lets you jump from block to block without tabbing through every part of the block controls.
\n\n\n\nWordPress 5.3 adds even more robust tools for creating amazing designs.

As the block editor celebrates its first birthday, we are proud that Twenty Twenty is designed with flexibility at its core. Show off your services or products with a combination of columns, groups, and media blocks. Set your content to wide or full alignment for dynamic and engaging layouts. Or let your thoughts be the star with a centered content column!
\n\n\n\nAs befits a theme called Twenty Twenty, clarity and readability is also a big focus. The theme includes the typeface Inter, designed by Rasmus Andersson. Inter comes in a Variable Font version, a first for default themes, which keeps load times short by containing all weights and styles of Inter in just two font files.
\n![\"An](\"https://i1.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2019/11/Rotate.png?w=632&ssl=1\")
Your images will be correctly rotated upon upload according to the embedded orientation data. This feature was first proposed nine years ago and made possible through the perseverance of many dedicated contributors.
\n![\"A](\"https://i2.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2019/11/Health.png?w=632&ssl=1\")
The improvements introduced in 5.3 make it even easier to identify issues. Expanded recommendations highlight areas that may need troubleshooting on your site from the Health Check screen.
\n![\"A](\"https://i1.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2019/11/Email.png?w=632&ssl=1\")
You’ll now be periodically asked to confirm that your admin email address is up to date when you log in as an administrator. This reduces the chance of getting locked out of your site if you change your email address.
\nDevelopers can now work with dates and timezones in a more reliable way. Date and time functionality has received a number of new API functions for unified timezone retrieval and PHP interoperability, as well as many bug fixes.
\nWordPress 5.3 aims to fully support PHP 7.4. This release contains multiple changes to remove deprecated functionality and ensure compatibility. WordPress continues to encourage all users to run the latest and greatest versions of PHP.

, and 水野史土.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMany thanks to all of the community volunteers who contribute in the support forums. They answer questions from people across the world, whether they are using WordPress for the first time or since the first release. These releases are more successful for their efforts!
\n\n\n\nFinally, thanks to all the community translators who worked on WordPress 5.3. Their efforts bring WordPress fully translated to 47 languages at release time, with more on the way.
\n\n\n\nIf you want learn more about volunteering with WordPress, check out Make WordPress or the core development blog.
\n\n\n\nThanks for choosing WordPress!

You’ve probably heard that WordPress is open-source software, and may know that it’s created and run by volunteers. WordPress enthusiasts share many examples of how WordPress changed people’s lives for the better. This monthly series shares some of those lesser-known, amazing stories.
\n\n\n\nWe’d like to introduce you to Kim Parsell. Kim was an active and well-loved member of the WordPress community. Unfortunately, she passed away in 2015. Lovingly referred to as #wpmom, she leaves behind a legacy of service.
\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https://i1.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2019/11/Kim-Parsell-1.jpg?fit=632%2C252&ssl=1\")
In order to understand how highly valued the WordPress community was to Kim Parsell, you have to know a bit about her environment.
\n\n\n\nKim was a middle-aged woman who lived off a dirt road, on top of a hill, in Southern rural Ohio. She was often by herself, taking care of the property with only a few neighbors up and down the road.
\n\n\n\nShe received internet access from towers that broadcast wireless signals, similar to cell phones but at lower speeds.
\n\n\n\nBy listening to the regular podcast, WordPress Weekly, Kim met members of the WordPress community and was able to talk to them on a weekly basis. The show and its after-hours sessions provided Kim a chance to mingle with the who’s who of WordPress at the time. It helped establish long-lasting relationships that would open up future opportunities for her.
\n\n\n\nSince she lived in a location where few around her used or had even heard of WordPress, the community was an opportunity for her to be with like-minded people. Kim enjoyed interacting with the community, both online and at WordCamp events, and many community members became her second family, a responsibility she took very seriously.
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Many members of the WordPress community became her second family, a responsibility she took very seriously.”
Jeff Chandler
Kim is regarded as one of the first “women of WordPress,” investing a lot of her time in women who wanted to break into tech. She worked hard to create a safe environment sharing herself and her knowledge and was affectionately called #wpmom.
\n\n\n\nShe contributed countless hours of volunteer time, receiving “props” for 5 major releases of WordPress, and was active on the documentation team.
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Affectionately called #wpmom, Kim was an investor. She invested countless hours into the WordPress project and in women who wanted to break into tech.”

In 2014, she received a travel stipend offered by the WordPress Foundation that enabled her to attend the WordPress community summit, held in conjunction with WordCamp San Francisco. She shared with anyone who would listen, that this was a life-changing event for her.
\n\n\n\nThe WordPress Foundation now offers that scholarship in her memory. The Kim Parsell Memorial Scholarship provides funding annually for a woman who contributes to WordPress to attend WordCamp US, a flagship event for the WordPress community.
\n\n\n\nThis scholarship truly is a fitting memorial. Her contributions have been vital to the project. Moreover, the way she treated and encouraged the people around her has been an inspiration to many.
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHer spirit lives on in the people she knew and inspired. Here’s hoping that the Kim Parsell Memorial Scholarship will serve to further inspire those who follow in her footsteps.
Drew Jaynes
Sadly Kim died just a few short months later. But her spirit lives on in the people she knew and inspired within her communities. The Kim Parsell Memorial Scholarship will serve to further inspire those who follow in her footsteps.

\n\n\n\nJill Binder never meant to become an activist. She insists it was an accident.
\n\n\n\nDespite that, Jill has led the Diversity Outreach Speaker Training working group in the WordPress Community team since 2017. This group is dedicated to increasing the number of women and other underrepresented groups who are stepping up to become speakers at WordPress Meetups, WordCamps, and events.
\n\n\n\nJill’s WordPress story begins in 2011, in Vancouver, Canada. Jill secured an internship for her college program, working on a higher education website that was built in WordPress. As a thank you, her practicum advisor bought Jill a ticket to WordCamp Vancouver 2011: Developer’s Edition. After that Jill began freelancing with WordPress as a Solopreneur.
\n\n\n\nThe following year her internship advisor, who had become a client, was creating the first ever BuddyCamp for BuddyPress. He asked Jill to be on his organizing team. At that event she also moderated a panel with Matt Mullenweg. Then, Jill was invited to be on the core organizing team for WordCamp Vancouver.
\n\n\n\nPart of this role meant reviewing and selecting speakers. From 40 speaker applications the team had to pick only 14 to speak.
\n\n\n\nFor anyone who has organized a conference, you know that speaker selection is hard. Of the 40 applications, 7 were from women, and the lead organizer selected 6 of those to be included in the speaker line up.
\n\n\n\nAt this point Jill wasn’t aware that very few women apply to speak at tech conferences and suggested selection should be made on the best fit for the conference. The team shared that not only did they feel the pitches were good and fit the conference, but they also needed to be accepted or the Organizers would be criticized for a lack of diversity.
\n\n\n\nSelecting women for fear of criticism is embarrassing to admit, but that’s how people felt in 2013.
\n\n\n\nBy the time the event happened, though, the number of women speakers dropped to 4. And with an additional track being added, the number of speakers overall was up to 28. Only 1 speaker in 7 was a woman (or 14%) and attendees did ask questions and even blogged about the lack of representation.
\n\n\n\nLater that year at WordCamp San Francisco—the biggest WordCamp at the time (before there was a WordCamp US)—Jill took the opportunity to chat with other organizers about her experience. She found out that many organizers had trouble getting enough women to present.
\n\n\n\nSurprisingly Vancouver had a high number of women applicants in comparison to others, and the consensus was more would be accepted if only more would apply.
\n\n\n\nJill decided that she needed to know why this was happening? Why weren’t there more women applying? She started researching, reading, and talking to people.
\n\n\n\nThough this issue is complex, two things came up over and over:
\n\n\n\nThen Jill had an idea. She brought up the issue at an event and someone suggested that they should get women together in a room and brainstorm speaker topics.
\n\n\n\nSo Jill became the lead of a small group creating a workshop in Vancouver. In one of the exercises, participants were invited to brainstorm ideas—this proved that they had literally a hundred topic ideas and the biggest problem then became picking just one!
\n\n\n\nIn the first discussion, Jill focussed on:
\n\n\n\nVancouver Workshop 2014\n\n\n\nOther cities across North America heard about the workshop and started hosting them, adding their own material.
\n\n\n\nMany women who initially joined her workshop wanted help getting even better at public speaking. So Jill’s team added in some material created from the other cities and a bit more of their own. Such as:
\n\n\n\nAt WordCamp Vancouver 2014—only one year since Jill started—there were 50% women speakers and 3 times the number of women applicants! Not only that, but this WordCamp was a Developer’s Edition, where it’s more challenging to find women developers in general, let alone those who will step up to speak.
\n\n\n\nImpressive as those results were, the reason Jill is so passionate about this work is because of what happened next:
\n\n\n\nJill has seen time and again what happens when different people speak at the front of the room. More people feel welcome in the community. The speakers and the new community members bring new ideas and new passions that help to make the technology we are creating more inclusive. And together we generate new ideas that benefit everyone.
\n\n\n\nThis workshop was so successful, with typical results of 40-60% women speakers at WordCamps, that the WordPress Global Community Team asked Jill to promote it and train it for women and all diverse groups around the world. In late 2017, Jill started leading the Diverse Speaker Training group (#wpdiversity).
\n\n\n\nDozens of community members across the world have now been trained to lead the workshop. With now dozens of workshops worldwide, for WordPress and other open source software projects as well, there is an increase in speaker diversity.
\n\n\n\nWordCamp US 2019\n\n\n\nAs a result of the success, Jill is now sponsored to continue the program. She’s proud of how the diversity represented on the stage adds value not only to the brand but also in the long-term will lead to the creation of a better product. She’s inspired by seeing the communities change as a result of the new voices and new ideas at the WordPress events.
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJill’s leadership in the development and growth of the Diversity Outreach Speaker Training initiative has had a positive, measurable impact on WordPress community events worldwide. When WordPress events are more diverse, the WordPress project gets more diverse — which makes WordPress better for more people.”

This is the first major release since the plugin was acquired by Automattic in August. The updated plugin uses custom database tables, opens the plugin for more extensions, and has a more consistent UI than previous versions.
\n\n\n\nCRM is an acronym for “customer relationship management.” CRM systems allow businesses to manage their customer relationships through an interface. How CRM systems work can vary greatly, depending on the software used. In general, the goal is to help manage contacts, sales, and productivity.
\n\n\n\nZero BS CRM was co-created by Mike Stott and Woody Hayday. Despite a low number of plugin users (around 1,000 at acquisition), Automattic acquired the plugin based on the strength of the product. Currently, Stott and Hayday are the primary developers on the plugin and maintain more than 30 commercial extensions for it.
\n\n\n\nMany CRM solutions are SaaS products, such as Salesforce CRM and HubSpot CRM. “The main benefit of ZBS CRM over online SaaS type solutions is it sits in your WP admin dashboard, and you own your own data,” said Stott.
\n\n\n\nVersion 3.0 of the plugin improves in several key areas. One major change is the switch to custom database tables rather than pigeon-holing everything into a custom post type. This change should speed up accessing data such as contacts and transactions in large databases.
\n\n\n\nUsers should benefit from a much improved and consistent UI from previous versions. Zero BS CRM does not strictly follow the core WordPress admin UI. “When looking at ZBS CRM and how to tie in all our menu items into the WordPress UI – it wasn’t easy,” said Stott. “We settled on using a UI framework with our own top menu, and a natural follow-on for that was to draw our list views using that same UI and button systems. Whether we move this back or not depends on feedback from our users — we get a lot of positive feedback on how easy it is to navigate around and wouldn’t want to change something that’s been getting good feedback.”
\n\n\n\nMoving to custom tables over custom post types has also helped improve elements of the UI. Stott said a huge advantage is not having third-party plugins accidentally adding themselves to the plugin’s admin pages, such as having unnecessary SEO options on contact records.
\n\n\n\nAnother big change in 3.0 was building out a more extendable foundation for the plugin. This will open up custom CRM objects in the future. For example, plugin users could manage resources such as “properties” or “campuses” along with customer contact data. This update creates more potential for industry-specific extensions.
\n\n\n\n“It really opens the door for more extendibility in the future,” said Stott, “and through an improved API in 2020 will allow for us to do more work across platforms and open up our CRM tools to more people.”
\n\n\n\nThe Zero BS CRM plugin remains free and is available in the WordPress plugin repository. The primary source of income comes from its extension bundles, which are priced monthly and billed yearly. The website currently offers freelancer ($11/month), entrepreneur ($17/month), and elite ($30/month) pricing options. It also has a reseller plan available.
\n\n\n\nWhen the plugin was first acquired, there was an initial idea to rebrand as “Jetpack CRM.” However, they have maintained the Zero BS CRM branding with an acronym instead of the direct expletive for “BS.” A rebrand may still be on the table in 2020 or beyond.
\n\n\n\n“We’ve been gathering user feedback and sentiment following the minor changes to ZBS CRM and the initial reactions if we were to rename as Jetpack CRM,” said Stott. “Since the shorter name, there’s been less objection or negative feelings, which puts less pressure on a big rebrand project, but it’s certainly something we’ll be coming back to.”
\n\n\n\nStott said the primary focus since the acquisition has been less on branding and more on delivering 3.0 to the existing customer base.
\n\n\n\nThe acquisition by Automattic has helped with how their two-person team works. “The main thing is being able to lean on the amazing team and people throughout Automattic,” said Stott. “In the past, we’d only have Woody and my input, now we can reach out to experts in design, marketing, plus much more, and bounce our ideas around a vast pool of experience.”
\n\n\n\nHe explained that the additional support resources of Automattic’s Happiness Engineers means that he and his partner can focus more on engineering and growing the product and team.
\n\n\n\nThe acquisition of Zero BS CRM came during a busy year for Automattic. With major moves such as acquiring Tumblr and the Salesforce investment, this small plugin has mostly flown under the radar in comparison. Stott and Hayday have big plans for 2020. They would like to grow the engineering team and explore bringing their tools to more WordPress.com users.
\n\n\n\nThe plugin’s growth has remained stable since the acquisition, according to Stott. “The announcement brought us some additional customers who saw the backing from Automattic as strong advocacy for the plugin over other solutions in the WordPress space, so they made the decision to join us,” he said. The plugin has doubled its active install count and now serves over 2,000 users. The team expects to continue growing in the coming months.

\n\n\n\nLove it or hate it, Gutenberg is here to stay. If you had asked my thoughts on it last December, I would have probably sided with a large portion of other WordPress users.
\n\n\n\nWhat are you doing?
\n\n\n\nWordPress is fine, leave it alone!
\n\n\n\nStop forcing me to use this!
\n\n\n\nHere we are, twelve months later, and you know what? I LOVE IT. And, I am not alone.
\n\n\n\nWhen it comes to writing content, I cannot imagine using the Classic Editor anymore. Sure, for a few paragraphs, the Classic Editor is fine. However, when you need to make a 4,000+ word post, Gutenberg and the new block system make things a lot easier.
\n\n\n\nYes, the UI is a struggle for someone brand new to WordPress. We have all heard the “Wait, I thought you said this was like Word?” line. A good onboarding process would tackle that going forward. For the rest of us, if you have not adopted Gutenberg yet, you should take another look at it.
\n\n\n\nLet’s be honest. The Classic Editor was great for short posts, a couple of headlines and paragraphs, job done. But, how often were you going into the Text tab to remove an extra line break, fix a shortcode, or cut and paste a section to somewhere else in the post? At best, it was a struggle. Often, it was excruciating to get your post just right before publishing.
\n\n\n\nNot only will I not miss this, but I am pleased that new users will not be exposed to it anymore either.
\n\n\n\nWhen I first heard of Gutenberg — before it was released in WordPress 5.0 — I installed the plugin and was immediately confused and slightly bewildered at the options. I wondered how I would edit in the future.
\n\n\n\nI, among many others, probably gave out the same noises as when Facebook and Twitter reveal a huge overhaul of their UI, agreeing with everyone that things would never be the same again. This was a mistake. Of course, I was both right and wrong at the same time. I just didn’t know it. Editing would not be the same again. Instead, it would be a lot better (with some adjustment).
\n\n\n\nI also know that many people will not agree with me and do not like the way Gutenberg looks or behaves to this day. But, if you give it some time and understand how it can make your life easier, it will do just that.
\n\n\n\nFirst, take the time to work out the difference between Blocks and Document. On the left you have all the blocks for your post or page, inserting them in merrily as you go. On the right, the Document panel controls everything else, handily changing when you need to fine-tune a block.
\n\n\n\nOne of the most common complaints I have read is people struggling with the toolbar that appears as you hover over each block. There is a simple solution to this, and when it is enabled, the majority of people suddenly start to love it! Make sure you set the view to “Top Toolbar” in the Gutenberg options. Now you have a distraction and clutter-free editing environment to work with.
\n\n\n\nGutenberg is not a page builder, and it is a common argument thrown out by people on why they refuse to use it. They are right, it is not a replacement for the likes of Elementor or Beaver Builder. If you remove the comparison to page builders from your mind, you will find adapting to it is much easier.
\n\n\n\nMy peers and I regularly chat about Gutenberg and agree it is already great for writing. The post creation process is a breath of fresh air. Others have great stories from their clients about being able to produce content and edit it with ease, and the number of editor-related support requests is down, which can only be a good thing.
\n\n\n\nHowever, many of us would not use it for designing pages. Instead, we still prefer to use one of the many page builders for that complete control.
\n\n\n\nGutenberg Phase 2 will allow editing of the site to areas outside of the main content (e.g., headers, footers, sidebars) and will creep further into the page builder category, which means we will have a strange blend of Gutenberg and page builders living side by side on many sites soon.
\n\n\n\nWill it remove the complete need for themes? Who knows? I suspect we will have people further divided into opposing camps going forward, but what a great opportunity for us to collectively work on for a better overall experience in the end.
\n\n\n\nLet us take a quick look at Gutenberg and its penetration to date.
\n\n\n\nCurrently, 63.8% of all WordPress installs are running 5.x onward according to WordPress.org, which means Gutenberg is available natively on nearly two-thirds of all WordPress installs.
\n\n\n\nBut, it is not all red roses when it comes to adoption.
\n\n\n\nThe Classic Editor plugin has over 5 million active installs (and a rather biased 723 five-star reviews, such as “Keep this forever” and “Never going to give it up!”). It is also currently in the top five of the most popular plugins.
\n\n\n\nIs this the backlash against Gutenberg or incompatibility with older themes forcing users to use the Classic Editor for now? At a guess, a good majority is probably the latter combined with some diehards.
\n\n\n\nBut, look at the graph below from the Classic Editor plugin page.
\n\n\n\nGrowth is declining. That is not a movement of people who continue to install Classic Editor on new installs and refuse to adapt.
\n\n\n\nClassic Editor adoption will likely continue falling, and perhaps the original date of it being supported until 2022 isn’t that far-fetched after all (note: they have said they will continue to support it longer if needed).
\n\n\n\nOn the flip-side, the Gutenberg plugin has 200,000 active installs and a whopping two-thirds of reviews (2,003) are a paltry one star. However, many are merely unhelpful complaints (e.g., “This is junk” and “Destroy it”). They do not tell the true story to novices.
\n\n\n\nAs you can see from the graph below for the Gutenberg plugin, active install growth is up and continues to climb. It is not at the same pace as the decline with the Classic Editor, but that is probably because it is bundled with WordPress now.
\n\n\n\nOne thing people seem to forget is Gutenberg is a plugin in and of itself. It is updated frequently, whereas the majority of users only see changes to it when there is a WordPress core update.
\n\n\n\nIf you can see past the fields of one-star reviews and install the plugin, you will be rewarded with more frequent updates to the experience.
\n\n\n\nFor example, version 7.0 recently added in the Navigation block as stable, allowing users to quickly create a menu of links. Don’t get me wrong; this does require theme integration for it to work, but you can get a better idea of where it is heading on a more frequent basis this way (7.0 is expected to ship with WordPress 5.4 in March/April 2020).
\n\n\n\nCompatibility with Gutenberg continues at a quick pace. With over 21 pages of block-enabled plugins available on WordPress.org, pretty much all the popular plugins have solutions in place. A fair amount of plugin updates these days are also adding new and enhanced blocks as standard.
\n\n\n\nIf those are not enough for you, we also now have a new breed of block-specific plugins. There is a growing trend of plugins devoted to purely enhancing the style and number of blocks you can add to your site.
\n\n\n\nPopular Gutenberg-focused plugins such as Stackable and EditorsKit add further styling and editing abilities, bringing you another step closer to full-page design and enhancing your content.
\n\n\n\nBecause no one knows how far Gutenberg will go and which toes it will step on, block plugins may have a fight on their hands in the future. At the pace they are being released and updated, it is a good sign of a committed global collective who not only believe in the future of blocks but is excited about it too.
\n\n\n\nGutenberg is here to stay, and I don’t think any of us have ever denied that. It is probably not an issue for anyone who started using WordPress for the first time this year.
\n\n\n\nThankfully, for those already deeply embedded in WordPress, things are getting easier (and I would say more enjoyable) with the growth of the new Gutenberg-specific plugins.
\n\n\n\nWith the advent of platforms such as Wix and Squarespace, it was obvious that WordPress needed something to make it more user-friendly and Gutenberg is a solid attempt at that. It is still a bit rough around the edges, but the days we look back nostalgically at the Classic Editor are likely numbered.
\n\n\n\nHow will it look at the end of 2020? Will you still be using the Classic Editor?

While the document is merely a starting point for the conversation, it is a set of ideas that will likely forever reshape the WordPress landscape. It is paradigm-shifting.
\n\n\n\nFor the first time, theme authors can glimpse what their future holds. Since the inception of Gutenberg, many have asked for more technical details. Particularly, they wanted to know whether themes would be reduced to a stylesheet or a stylesheet and a few PHP files. What would themes look like architecturally? Would themes exist at all?
\n\n\n\nThe document, while open for changes, makes a strong case about the structure of themes going forward. It is clear that much forethought has gone into the proposal. It matches the direction of the experimental site-editing feature in Gutenberg that has already been set in motion. Even though it is subject to change, there seems to be a finality to the overarching idea. The writing has long been on the wall. Now everyone can see the wall. The missing piece is figuring out how to bring the idea to fruition.
\n\n\n\nBefore understanding how themes of the future might work, you must first understand the direction that Gutenberg is headed. The end goal for Gutenberg, and eventually WordPress, is for users to have the ability to customize every aspect of their site via the block system. Currently, the block system primarily handles editing post content.
\n\n\n\nTo move to full-site editing, every piece of dynamic data about a site must be a block. For example, a site title block must exist as a placeholder for the site title. Users should be able to place it anywhere they desire to output the title, such as in the header.
\n\n\n\nThis has left theme authors with a reasonable question: If users can move these blocks anywhere, where do themes fit into the picture?
\n\n\n\nIt is easy to see how themes would become little more than a stylesheet that styles every WordPress block while also handling other necessary styles like typography and vertical rhythm. Even then, it makes one wonder if themes, at least in how we have come to know them, are necessary at all.
\n\n\n\nThe proposed structure does not look much different from current WordPress themes. The big difference is that theme templates would become “block templates” and “block template parts.” These templates would be HTML files rather than PHP files.
\n\n\n\nThe following is where the structure currently stands.
\n\n\n\ntheme\n|__ style.css\n|__ functions.php\n|__ block-templates\n |__ index.html\n |__ single.html\n |__ archive.html\n |__ ...\n|__ block-template-parts\n |__ header.html\n |__ footer.html\n |__ sidebar.html\n |__ ...From a templating perspective, it appears relatively normal for a WordPress theme. The files simply have a different type and are organized in specific folders.
\n\n\n\nHowever, the difference is how the HTML templates would work. They would essentially become placeholders for blocks. Users would also have the ability to edit or completely overwrite individual templates via the WordPress admin. Because templates are made up of blocks, no code would be necessary on the user’s part. They could simply point and click to insert or remove blocks with their mouse.
\n\n\n\nIn other words, block templates within themes would be unique starting points for users to build their sites.
\n\n\n\nThere are two noteworthy items about the proposed system: themes are still themes and end-users can become theme builders.
\n\n\n\nWhen you cut through everything else, WordPress themes have always been HTML and CSS. The PHP aspect of theming basically mixes PHP function calls (i.e., template tags) within some structured HTML markup. If you look at most themes going through the official WordPress theme directory, you will find that the underlying markup is mostly the same.
\n\n\n\nIn the block template system, this idea doesn’t change. If anything, it could simplify the role of theme author by creating a set of standard elements (blocks) that themes output. If done right, it also creates a standard for class names so that styles can easily be shared across themes and all sorts of similar goodies.
\n\n\n\nThe initial outline explains the potential of exporting themes:
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUltimately, any WordPress user with the correct capabilities (example: administrator WordPress role) will be able to access these templates in the WordPress admin, edit them in dedicated views and potentially export the templates as a theme.
This is where the proposed system could revolutionize website building. Those without the coding skills to create a WordPress theme today could have the tools to contribute something back tomorrow.
\n\n\n\nThe idea aligns perfectly with the open-source ethos of WordPress. By giving everyone the ability to export their customizations, it provides an avenue for contributing that we have never had before for non-coders. A free directory of customized themes created by and for the community, anyone?
\n\n\n\nBlock templates are merely the HTML. Themes will need to stand apart with their CSS. However, there must be standardization to pull this off.
\n\n\n\nDesigners will need to shift to a block-based approach when it comes to design. Some may already be familiar with various “component-based” systems, which would work much the same way. Rather than designing from the top-down, theme authors would approach design on a more atomic level by designing each block.
\n\n\n\nThere are also many unanswered questions about how styles will eventually work. Currently, there is an open ticket for discussing a style system for blocks. Much of the discussion is around how to integrate a design system with themes.
\n\n\n\nIt is important to point out that nothing about this proposal is set in stone. It is a high-level outline of what the future of themes could hold. However, now is time for input from the community, especially theme authors who may have felt a bit out of the loop in the past. Now is the time to make your voice heard and to contribute ideas to the discussion.
\n\n\n\nThe WordPress theme review team also has an open discussion on the future of themes that goes along with this proposal and whether themes should start taking advantage of experimental Gutenberg features.

That day also coincided with the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, so it left freelancers and agencies scrambling to address a banner on their clients’ sites on a day they likely planned to spend with family. The ad was not limited to users with administrative permissions either, so some site owners were troubled to find users with low-level permissions could see the ad in the WordPress admin.
\n\n\n\nThe initial code for the banner was added on October 25, which made its way into version 12.4 of the Yoast SEO plugin. The code for the banner ad limited its output between November 28 and December 3 (Cyber Monday).
\n\n\n\nAfter blowback from users, the Yoast team published an updated version of the plugin without the banner. However, the initial damage was done. Users began immediately leaving poor reviews for the plugin. The 1-star reviews are still coming in, putting the number over 100 in the span of five days.
\n\n\n\n“That BlackFridayBanner was not the best idea,” wrote Marieke van de Rakt, CEO of Yoast, on Twitter. “We’re truly sorry for the annoyance and difficulties it may have caused. We did not think this through properly. If you want, you can update to a new version of our plugin without that banner.”
\n\n\n\nThe initial decision to place the ad was about growth for Yoast’s premium products. The company has not grown as fast as expected over the past year explained van de Rakt. They had also seen other plugins use those types of ads, which was a part of the decision to run it.
\n\n\n\n“Let’s be clear,” said van de Rakt. “This was a mistake. We just didn’t think this one through. It was incredibly stupid. So I can talk about why we made a decision, but I don’t want that to be the explanation. The explanation is that we made a mistake.”
\n\n\n\nThe ad was an animated banner, and some users complained that it was difficult to dismiss. All notices in plugins available through the WordPress plugin directory must be dismissible. “That was a technical mistake,” said van de Rakt of the issues with clicking the “x” icon for dismissal.
\n\n\n\nWhile the team had seen other plugins run similar ads in the past, van de Rakt explained that they didn’t take into account how large of a user base Yoast SEO has in comparison to those plugins. “For so many users, we were the first plugin that done this,” she said. “They never saw this before in their backend. And they freak out. This was a complete error of judgment.”
\n\n\n\nYoast plans to talk more with its plugin’s users. Currently, the team is looking into creating a user-testing panel to prevent similar situations in the future.
\n\n\n\n“In hindsight, and that’s what I feel most bad about, the banner did not fit our values,” said van de Rakt. “These kinds of banners are not ‘Yoast.’ Perhaps, if we state more explicitly what we as Yoast find important and what fits Yoast and what doesn’t, a mistake like this will be made less quickly.”
\n\n\n\nYoast is a large company within the WordPress space. It employs 90 people in its primary office in Wijchen, the Netherlands. It also has an additional 20 employees around the world. Running a successful business means paying everyone, contributing back to WordPress with its five-for-the-future work, and running charitable programs such as the Yoast Diversity Fund.
\n\n\n\nCurrently, the Yoast SEO plugin has over 5 million active installs. According to van de Rakt, only around 2% of the plugin’s users also use the company’s premium products. Such a large plugin needs continuous funding to support and maintain.
\n\n\n\nAdvertising a product or service in an internet culture that is seemingly averse to ads is not always easy. “It’s rather hard to find ways to reach our audience, and we also have some principles on how (not) to do that,” said van de Rakt. “We like to advertise in a straight-forward way. Tell people what they’re buying. Ads are very annoying, but at least they are clear in what they’re doing.”
\n\n\n\nOne issue that plugin companies run into is the lack of an official premium marketplace for WordPress. Currently, companies have to resort to in-admin advertising or similar tactics to push users on an upsell. Most of Yoast’s premium products are sold through banners on the plugin’s pages in the WordPress admin. Such practices do not always go over well with users, particularly when they are using a free product. One wrong step and it could spell disaster for future growth. Yoast is large enough to bounce back, but smaller companies may struggle more.
\n\n\n\nIt is a tough balancing act between providing a valuable free product and making enough of a return to run a successful company. The Yoast team does not want to lock their popular SEO plugin completely behind a paywall. “Our mission is SEO for everyone,” said van de Rakt. “We believe that every idea should have a fair chance in the search results. That means that also without any funds, people should be able to have a good working SEO plugin. Our free plugin is really important to us.”
\n\n\n\n“I had a really bad weekend,” said van de Rakt. “I am a people pleaser and I was terribly sad by what happened. But, the discussion about how to handle this is a good one.”
\n\n\n\nPerhaps some good will come of this incident if there is an open dialogue. “These kinds of things sometimes lead to different ‘rule-sets’ or policies within WordPress,” said van de Rakt. “Might even mean that there will be different and better ways for premium plugins to market their products.”

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis plugin’s goal is to make it easier to beta test our pre-releases. You just need to install and activate the plugin to be ready to try our beta and release candidate versions once we’ve announced them on this blog.
Beta testing BuddyPress is very important to make sure it behaves the right way for you and for the community. Although we, the BuddyPress Development Team, are regularly testing it, it’s very challenging to test every possible configuration of WordPress and BuddyPress. That’s why we absolutely need your help during these pre-release stages.
Making this plugin available was one of the means we thought about during our post 5.0.0 release development meeting to have more BuddyPress contributors.
Beta testing is actually a good way to start contributing, to anticipate and fix potential issues before you have the bad surprise to meet them once you’re upgrading to a new stable version of the plugin.
NB: to beta test BuddyPress, we strongly advise you to have a local copy of your live site or a staging site : it’s always safer than doing it on a production site.
\n\n\n\nDuring our next pre-release stages, when you will find something is going wrong during your beta tests, please think of warning us about it submitting a ticket on our Development Tracker or posting a new topic in our support forums.
\n\n\n\nThanks in advance for your time and help <3

Most notably, the navigation block is now a stable feature. Theme authors can also start using block template parts and testing the post title and content blocks.
\n\n\n\nThe update addressed several bugs with the block editor. It also introduced new developer features such as the card component and the ability to internationalize strings with safe HTML.
\n\n\n\nGradient classes are now used for the cover block. Classes are a nicer solution than the inline styles used in earlier iterations. Note that gradients are still an experimental feature.
\n\n\n\nFor developers, there is a new backward-compatibility document that outlines how the project preserves compatibility in its public APIs. This should be useful for all developers working on the project in the future.
\n\n\n\nThe navigation block is now a stable feature and no longer considered experimental. The interface is much improved over earlier implementations. For quickly building a menu of links, it does the job. Users can manually type a link or search for an existing link for the site.
\n\n\n\nA user interface for nav menus in the block editor is no easy beast to tame. The Gutenberg team managed to fit in the most common features without making it feel confusing. For users, theme integration may be limited until their themes are updated with full support. The default Gutenberg design may not be ideal or work at all in the context of the active theme.
\n\n\n\nThe navigation block also comes with both light and dark block styles. Theme authors can design these how they prefer, add additional styles, or remove the styles altogether. More than likely, theme authors will begin adding several variations to their themes as a selling point in the long run.
\n\n\n\nThe Gutenberg team dropped the background color option from the navigation block. Instead, users are encouraged to place it within a group block and add a background to the group. It is possible to change the link text color directly within the navigation block.
\n\n\n\nCurrently, there is no parity between normal nav menu HTML classes and navigation block classes. This could result in bulkier theme CSS, at least in the transition between how themes currently work and the full site-editing era. Inconsistent classes is an issue that should be handled with a design framework.
\n\n\n\nAs part of the experimental site-editing feature, Gutenberg has introduced the post title and post content blocks. These blocks act as placeholders and will output either the title or content. Both blocks are foundational elements for true full-site editing. Eventually, users will no longer be as limited to how their posts are output on the screen.
\n\n\n\nCurrently, the post title block simply outputs the post title inside of <h1> tags. There are no classes for customizing the design. The other missing element at this point is the post byline or meta area that often accompanies the title. In the long run, Gutenberg needs to have a method of handling post header and footer areas.
The custom post header feature has plagued theme authors for years, long before Gutenberg was around. There are dozens or more implementations in the wild. Some of them work with the block editor. Others use custom post meta or the featured image. However, users are often left with sub-par implementations that don’t always work in the context of a specific post.
\n\n\n\nOne of the features I have wanted to implement within Gutenberg is the “hero” image with text set over the top. By using the built-in cover block and the post title block, I was able to accomplish this. However, it was still missing the post byline. Therefore, I put together a quick filter to output the post byline when the post title block is in use.
\n\n\n\nAny theme author who wants to test it out can modify the following code. I would not recommend this in production since this is an experimental feature, but it is good to start thinking ahead about possibilities.
\n\n\n\nadd_filter( \'pre_render_block\', function( $block_content, $block ) {\n\n if ( \'core/post-title\' === $block[\'blockName\'] ) {\n\n $post = gutenberg_get_post_from_context();\n\n if ( ! $post ) {\n return $block_content;\n }\n\n if ( \'post\' === $post->post_type ) {\n\n $block_content = \'<h1 class=\"entry__title\">\' . get_the_title( $post ) . \'</h1>\';\n\n $block_content .= sprintf(\n \'<div class=\"entry__byline\">%s · %s · %s</div>\',\n get_the_author(),\n get_the_date(),\n get_the_term_list( $post->ID, \'category\' )\n );\n }\n }\n\n return $block_content;\n\n}, 10, 2 );\n\n\n\nGutenberg 6.9 introduced block templates that resolve from a theme’s /block-templates folder as part of the site-building experiment. Version 7.0 takes that a step farther and introduces a block template parts system, which resolves from a theme’s /block-template-parts directory.
This new system allows top-level templates to house smaller, reusable template parts. This is a rather standard method of template-part handling that has become a part of the normal theme-building experience.
\n\n\n\nIt will be interesting to see how this works in the long run. WordPress’ current template part system for theme authors (i.e., get_template_part()) is a bare-bones implementation with little flexibility for handling features like hierarchy and passing data. Thus far, the new feature seems to be a melding of blocks and old templating ideas, but it is too early in the process to see where it goes or whether theme authors will have to make customizations to bend the system to their will.
November has been a big month in the WordPress community. New releases, big events, and a push for more contributors have characterized the work being done across the project — read on to find out more!
\n\n\n\nWordPress 5.3 was released on November 12, and is available for download or update in your dashboard! Named “Kirk,” after jazz multi-instrumentalist Rahsaan Roland Kirk, 5.3 enhances the block editor with new APIs and theme-related features, adds more intuitive interactions, and improves accessibility in a number of areas — including CSS in the dashboard, the media manager, core widgets, and dozens of other areas.
\n\n\n\nYou can read the full details of all the included enhancements in the 5.3 Field Guide.
\n\n\n\nAlong with 5.3 came the new Twenty Twenty theme, which gives users more design flexibility and integrates with the block editor. For more information about the improvements to the block editor, expanded design flexibility, the Twenty Twenty theme, and to see the huge list of amazing contributors who made this release possible, read the full announcement.

\n\n\n\nWordCamp US 2019 was held in St. Louis, MO this year on November 1-3. At the event, @matt gave his annual State of the Word address, during which he shared what had been accomplished in the past year, announced what is coming next, and shared several ways to get involved.
\n\n\n\nYou can watch the State of the Word as well as the Q&A session at the end, and read Matt’s recap of the address. If you didn’t make it to St. Louis, you can still watch all the sessions at your leisure.
\n\n\n\nDuring the State of the Word, Matt announced that there is now a dedicated landing page for Five for the Future, which features the people and organizations that commit at least it 5% of their resources to the WordPress open source project. There are many ways to contribute to WordPress, such as core development, marketing, translation, training, and community organizing, among many other important paths to contribution.
\n\n\n\nFive for the Future welcomes individuals and organizations, and highlights all the incredible ways we build WordPress together. For more information, visit the Five for the Future page.

\n\n\n\nGiving Tuesday is a global movement meant to inspire generosity. The celebration has run each year since 2012 on the Tuesday following the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. The idea is to inspire people to do good, not for just one day of the year, but each day of their lives.
\n\n\n\nA WordPress-focused event on Giving Tuesday sounds like a perfect match. Given the nature of open source and the charitable work of many of the people and companies in the space, it makes sense to hold a specific event for the holiday. “This is the first #DoSummitGood and there has already been a discussion about making this an annual event for Giving Tuesday,” said Dan Maby, CEO and a Trustee of WP&UP.
\n\n\n\nWP&UP is a registered charity organization with a mission to support and promote positive mental health within the WordPress community. Its Health Hubs cover topics like business, skills, physical, and mental health. The organization also provides support and counseling services.
\n\n\n\nThe idea for the #DoSummitGood event was born from a WP&UP Town Hall in October. “Our focus is on collaboration and our Town Halls are an opportunity for members of the public to get involved and help brainstorm ideas for the community, as well as get to know more about what WP&UP does,” said Maby.
\n\n\n\nThe primary event will run via Crowdcast. By registering for the event, attendees will gain access to the Hallway Track to meet with other attendees online. They will also have the ability to ask questions directly to the speakers. Registration is free but will close once it reaches a specific number of signups. “WP&UP is paying for the technical solution to deliver the event,” said Maby. “As a registered charity we have to be responsible for expenditure, and so limiting the number of seats for this first event is one way we can do that.”
\n\n\n\nFor those who do not register and attend via Crowdcast, they can still watch and participate in the event through various social platforms:
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEach of the sessions will feature various international speakers who will give a talk on their area of expertise. The sessions will follow a specific format and run for one hour. For the first 10 minutes of each session, the individual speaker or group will talk about the “for good” entity they represent. They will follow up with a 35-minute talk on their subject. Afterward, the speaker and attendees will participate in an open Q&A session.
\n\n\n\nThe #DoSummitGood event is designed to give back. “Throughout the event, a donation form will be shared,” said Maby. “All money raised through this form will be distributed between the various non-profits that feature in the event.”
\n\n\n\nCory Miller, a Trustee at WP&UP, will kick off the event with a session titled “The Iceberg of Life: How I Manage the Ups and Downs.” Miller has been open about mental health within the WordPress community and his struggles for several years. He has previously written on the topic of The Iceberg of Life, which is worth reading if you are looking to get an early look into what his session may be about.
\n\n\n\nMarieke van de Rakt will follow up with a talk about improving a site’s SEO. She is representing Yoast and its diversity fund program, which helps to remove the financial burdens that cause minorities or underrepresented groups to speak at conferences.
\n\n\n\nThe nine sessions have a diverse group of speakers from various organizations that are currently providing support for charities, minorities, and other groups that need help. The topics include turning passion into a profession, bringing more diversity to speaking roles at conferences, and more. Two of the sessions will be round-table events with multiple speakers.

Z. Brown, Stephen Wolfram, and some of my own Automattic colleagues in-person at our Grand Meetup.

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“When you work in a distributed company, every time that you interact with your colleagues via text… you are taking out of your social bank account with them. So when you get people together, that’s when you have the opportunity to see each other face-to-face, and remind everybody that you’re all human beings. And fill that social capital back up because it’s so hard to communicate via text.”
\n\n\n\n“We needed it as a talent hack, as a talent arbitrage. Hire the best people wherever they happen to be, figure everything out later, hire them quickly, get them in the ship as early as possible and start seeing results. How can I just hire the best people no matter where they are?”
\n\n\n\n“I have believed from a very young age that every single one of us has a moral obligation to use whatever resources we have — time, money, knowledge, skills, emotional energy, access to physical resources — however that might be defined — that we each have a moral obligation to use those resources in service of justice, and fighting against injustice and oppression and violence in all of its forms, structural and individual, subtle and overt.”
\n\n\n\n“I was going into an office but not seeing anyone or interacting with anyone except myself. So it almost was this zombie-like walk to the office every morning where I’m going to the office because I go to work, but I don’t see anyone who I work with. [laughs] And so I actually started waking up and just working on my computer at home. And then I said to myself, ‘Well, why am I even working from home?\'”
\n\n\n\n“You can do things that are very commercial, but a little bit intellectually boring. And it tends to be the case that you’re doing a lot of rinse-and-repeat stuff if you want to grow purely commercially, so to speak. Or, you can do things that are wonderful intellectually, but the world doesn’t happen to value them and you can’t make commercial sense that way. And I’ve tried to navigate something in between those two where it’s where I’m really intellectually interested and where it’s commercially successful enough to sustain the process for a long time.”
\n\n\n\n“I like to trust people and give them autonomy. But I keep in touch with them very regularly and I think it becomes clear pretty quickly if somebody is not doing work. We look at performance, and we look at communication at a distributed company. Communication is oxygen.”
\n\n\n\n“To work at a remote company demanded great communication skills, and everyone had them. It was one of the great initial delights. Every corporation has the same platitudes for the importance of clear communication, yet utterly fails to practice it. There was little jargon at Automattic. No ‘deprioritized action items’ or ‘catalyzing of crossfunctional objectives.’ People wrote plainly, without pretense and with great charm.”
\n\n\n\n“A senior engineer makes the whole team better, but we don’t want to be prescriptive about how people made the team better. That was up to them. There were options, but that was the expectation for everyone on the team. You come in, you’re an experienced engineer, we expect you to be making the whole team better in some way, and what that looks like is up to you.”
\n\n\n\n“I started to feel like I was hitting a wall. This thing that I always dreamt of, to have a profitable company, to be financially secure, to have a team… I felt that having that success, having some of that financial security — it left me unfulfilled in a lot of other areas. — in the sense of deep lasting connection and also a lack of emotional resilience to deal with the ups and downs that startup life comes with.”
\n\n\n\n“My point is blogging is good for you. It’s mental health, it’s expression, it’s sharing your process with the world. And when you relate to the world, your standard of quality floats to that value of the world. It’s a market economy of ideas and by putting ourselves out there, you become relevant.”
\n\n\n\n“We really want to encourage empathy in general. And so a key part of empathy is being able to try to see the other person’s point of view. And in an organization as distributed as ours where people come from all around the world, we view it as an essential ingredient to developing deep and meaningful collaboration.”
\n\n\n\n“That means saying, ‘Okay, our entire organization will connect this many times a year in this many ways. There will be an all-department meeting once a month, once a quarter — whatever is appropriate — and that we will cover these three priorities and in broad progress and how it’s impacting the business overall.’ And then the expectation would be that the smaller subsets of teams are meeting in this way.”
\n\n\n\n“Our distributed roots did not come from some grand vision, but instead emerged from cold realities. Colocation (being in the same place, at the same time) is expensive!”
\n\n\n\n“I think having people come and interrupt you every 25 seconds, as is often the case in open floor plans, is definitely not the most productive situation. So the model I’ve seen work well, or the model I lean towards, is having an office where people are working from, but having private offices or spaces where people can plug in their headphones and just do work alone while still being in the same place as, hopefully, all of their colleagues.”
\n\n\n\n“The technology forces you to be present — in a way flatscreens do not — so that you gain authentic experiences, as authentic as in real life. People remember VR experiences not as a memory of something they saw but as something that happened to them.”

Things are different — much different. If you are reading this post via email or a feed reader, hop on over to the live site to take a look.
\n\n\n\nWelcome to the new design!
\n\n\n\nWhen I accepted the job to write for WP Tavern, some of you asked if I would be handling anything with the design and development aspects of the site. Today, you have your answer. I was tasked with overhauling our dated design and getting something fresh up.
\n\n\n\nFrom the moment I logged in and started peeking behind the curtain, the task seemed almost insurmountable. WP Tavern has had nearly 5,000 posts over 12 years. It has content mixed and matched with plugins that have not been used in years. Being perfectly honest, I was unsure what some plugins did for a long while. However, I have gotten to know the site and its inner-workings over the past couple of months, and the new design has taken shape around some of that.
\n\n\n\nRather than taking the time to do a complete overhaul of everything, which is sorely needed, our team decided the best course of action was to get a new theme up and iterate.
\n\n\n\nThe first step of the design process was to remove the wood-grain background. There is likely some nostalgia attached to that for some of our readers (some of you may have grown accustomed to it over the last 12 years), but it is the one thing we universally agreed to drop.
\n\n\n\nThe second step was to move to a sidebar-less design. Our team at the Tavern decided that nearly everything in the previous design’s sidebar offered few benefits to our readers. It was a distraction that took away from the content.
\n\n\n\nThe next step of the design process was to add complete compatibility with the block editor (Gutenberg). With no sidebar, this will open the door for us to do more interesting things with media and other elements over the long term.
\n\n\n\nOverall, the goal was to make the reading process nicer for all of you who visit the site. I hope that we have accomplished that.
\n\n\n\nThis is version 1.0 of the new design. A large part of the process was laying the groundwork in a way that it would be easy to make changes going forward.
\n\n\n\nThere are still some missing elements that will be re-added soon. Primarily, the site needs a search form in the header/navigation area. Redesigning the email subscription form and moving it to a different location is high on the list.
\n\n\n\nThe site should load faster than before. However, there is still a lot of cleanup to do with plugins over the long haul. Page loads should be even snappier as we continue to iterate.
\n\n\n\nI also hope we can add a custom logo and other Tavern-esque elements that bring more personality to the site as we move along in this ongoing process.
\n\n\n\nHowever, this is the point where you, the WP Tavern audience, get to join the conversation. Before pushing too far with additional changes, it is important to get your feedback about what you want to see in the coming days, weeks, and months. Ultimately, the goal is to serve you WordPress news and information in the best way possible.
\n\n\n\nFeedback is certainly welcome. If there is a missing element you want to see return, post it in the comments. If there is something you would like to see added, don’t be shy about letting us know.
\n\n\n\nThe contact form is also always open for private feedback or for letting us know about a problem with the site.
\n\n\n\nTo get the theme up and running, I reused a ton of code from my previous theme-related work before joining WP Tavern. It made sense to use a build system I already knew from top to bottom and not reinvent the wheel.
\n\n\n\nThe CSS system is a customized and stripped-down version of Tailwind CSS. Tailwind is a utility-first CSS framework. For most of my professional career, I have shied away from utility-based frameworks. However, Tailwind is a well-designed framework with a smart naming scheme that strikes a balance between readability and practicality. It is one of the few that has clicked with me. WordPress also uses several utility classes, especially with the block editor. The two systems made sense together.
\n\n\n\nWordPress front-end output and some plugins (I’m looking at you, Jetpack) do not make it easy to take a full utility-class approach. Everything else was addressed on a case-by-case basis.
\n\n\n\nIf any WordPress developers want to know more about the technical aspects, I am happy to answer questions.

Premature optimization is the root of all evil.
\n\n\n\nIt is a common saying among developers. It makes sense. Optimizing prematurely can mean redoing work down the line, and time is the developer’s most finite resource. It can mean spending that precious time optimizing for scenarios that do not yet exist for a product’s users. It can mean writing code that is harder to understand with unclear performance gains.
\n\n\n\nWhile participating with the WordPress theme review team about a year ago, I came across that nugget of advice once again. Premature optimization is the root of all evil. The reply was to a theme author who was looking to decrease the number and weight of scripts their theme needed to load. On one hand, the theme author could load a 1.29 kb script with no dependencies to get the job done. The other option was to use the jQuery-dependent script included in core WordPress for a total of 105 kb because “most” WordPress sites are loading jQuery anyway.
\n\n\n\nFor me, the answer was simple. Use the smaller script unless the core script was already loaded on the front end. I did not think of it in terms of premature optimization. I thought of it as plain old, run-of-the-mill, everyday optimization.
\n\n\n\nDevelopers should not confuse premature optimization with the concept of making smart design decisions early in the process. Nor should they wait until the final stage of development to start optimizing, a time when the focus is on getting a product out to end-users. That is a sign of a poor product design process.
\n\n\n\nOver the past year, that conversation stuck with me. It helped me become more cognizant of a terrifying trend, not just in the WordPress developer community, but with web development in general. Far too often, developers are so far removed from normal users and the technology those users rely on that optimization is little more than an afterthought. Instead, it should always be at the forefront of any developer’s mind.
\n\n\n\nThe overreliance on this misused quote has helped push the trend of measuring page weight in megabytes instead of kilobytes. It is too often used as a catchall justification for not doing any optimization in the development phase while making up for it with file compression and caching in production.
\n\n\n\nPart of writing quality code is optimizing that code during every stage of the development process. It is about making hard decisions to cut unnecessary things as the software comes together. Caching should be a last resort after everything else has been cleaned up.
\n\n\n\nPremature optimization is more about attempting to optimize when there are no clear gains or working on micro-optimizations that alter the software’s design for little-to-no benefit. It does not mean overlooking obvious performance boosts during development.
\n\n\n\nMost developers I know are on super-fast internet connections, often with 1 Gbps download speeds and unlimited data. In that situation, it is easy to forget that large chunks of the world are still on slow connections with data caps.
\n\n\n\nSome may even associate slow connections with third-world countries where millions of people are on 2G cell phone technology. However, there are large swaths of the United States and other developed countries that have no direct cable or DSL lines, which are commonly available in cities and suburbs.
\n\n\n\nThis disconnect is directly evident when other developers have initiated chats with me. In the past couple of years, it has been increasingly common for them to ask for a video chat. It is not even questioned whether such a thing is possible (video chats are unreliable at best for me). The ability to video chat at any time is taken for granted.
\n\n\n\nThere are two internet service options in the area that I live in: satellite or dial-up. Even the local telephone company refuses to offer DSL in this area because of infrastructural costs with decades-old phone lines. Because of the prohibitive costs of satellite internet access, which typically comes with data limits, many are stuck with dial-up. Cell phone companies are changing the game to a degree, assuming service is reliable, but there are downfalls with going that route, which can include data or hotspot limitations.
\n\n\n\nFor such a technologically-advanced country, many of its people are barely catching up to where others were a decade ago.
\n\n\n\nWhile I am fortunate enough to choose where I live and have nothing holding me back from moving, most do not have that option. They are stuck with the best they can afford. Even in rural areas, the internet is an inescapable part of daily life, and developers are not making it easy for these people.
\n\n\n\nWhile this is anecdotal, it is the stark reality of rural life in pockets of the US.
\n\n\n\nThe upside of living in the backwoods of Alabama is that it has changed my perspective as a developer. It has meant that I needed to question every code decision for every plugin and theme I built. With data caps, I needed to make sure that I was not using too many resources.
\n\n\n\nMore than anything, having a data cap changed how I used the internet. I now run an ad-blocker. I have an extension to kill videos from auto-loading. I disable JavaScript on heavy sites that I need to use. Some sites seem interesting, but I never return to them because they are resource hogs.
\n\n\n\nWhen you live in a place where every byte matters, you tend to avoid wasting them.
\n\n\n\nWhile not always successful, since my transition to small-town life, I have attempted to build applications in a way that served people who are not privileged enough to have blazing-fast internet access.
\n\n\n\nPointing this out is about making sure developers are aware that optimization matters. It matters at every stage of the development process. It matters because these people with slow connections and data caps also need to buy products, use services, read content, and do all the other things that people do on the web.
\n\n\n\nIf you are a developer who is thinking about adding that slider, swiping mechanism for mobile, or some other slick gadget, think about those of who must wait for that feature to load. Check that its dependencies are not loading too many extra resources. Do some research to see if you can locate a lighter-weight implementation. But, first, ask yourself if it is necessary.
\n\n\n\nThe themes and plugins that WordPress developers build should never be the bottleneck for a website. We can do better.

The event will feature daily sessions by over 30 WordPress professionals that are designed to help agencies grow their business. Each session will be free to view, but there will be a price tag attached after the event closes.
\n\n\n\nJan Koch, owner WP Mastery, is running the event. WP Agency Summit is for profit, but Koch expressed a desire to give something back to the community that has helped him over the years. “I want this event to deliver value to the WP community, because I myself have received free support countless times from Facebook groups, forums, etc.,” he said. “That’s why the event is free to watch online while it’s running.”
\n\n\n\nThe event is primarily aimed at WordPress agencies, but others may find value in it. “This event is also interesting for WordPress freelancers and digital agencies who occasionally use WordPress,” said Koch. “However, being a WordPress agency owner myself, I wanted to ensure that business owners like myself and those in similar situations get the most value from the event.”
\n\n\n\nVideo sessions will be available to view for 48 hours at no cost. For those who sign up for a free pass, they can upgrade to lifetime access for $127. That lifetime access will go up to $197 during the event and $497 afterward.
\n\n\n\nPotential buyers may want to opt for the free option before deciding whether future access to the sessions and bonus materials are worth plunking down the cash. For an agency, the cost is minimal either way. However, for a solo freelancer, the $497 price is high enough to warrant caution. Most will want to check out the material first.
\n\n\n\nEach of the video sessions is prerecorded and edited rather than shot live. Koch is using Vimeo Pro to host the videos. There will be a live hangout to begin the event. Attendees and speakers will also get a Facebook group invite for asking questions and engaging with each other.
\n\n\n\nCloudways, Siteground, and MainWP are sponsoring the event, which helps cover some of the up-front costs. Outside of that, Koch is handling the remainder of those costs out of his pocket but is hopeful for a positive return through the sale of lifetime access to the materials.
\n\n\n\nKoch first ran a virtual summit called “The WP Summit” in 2015, which was a more broad event based on various WordPress topics. That event had over 2,000 registrations. “As you can imagine, just talking about topics related to WP resulted in a very wide-spread speaker lineup, so there weren’t any clear takeaways,” said Koch.
\n\n\n\nThe idea for WP Agency Summit has been in Koch’s mind since 2018. It wasn’t until some conversations with others at WordCamp Europe (WCEU) in 2019 that it started coming together. “After WCEU, I invested in a virtual training for summits and hired a mentor to properly set up the WP Agency Summit,” he said. “My goal is to run 4 events like this in 2020, so this summit is serving as ‘crash test dummy’ and foundation at the same time.”
\n\n\n\nThere are over 30 speakers signed on for the event. Kim Doyal, a content marketer formerly known as “The WordPress Chick,” will teach agencies how to write copy that attracts higher-paying clients. Ahmad Awais, core WordPress contributor, will teach how to save time writing code in the VS Code editor.
\n\n\n\nMost sessions will focus on how agencies can grow their business with topics related to recurring revenue, marketing, and working with clients. Each day of the event will feature three or four sessions.
\n\n\n\nWP Agency Summit is hosting a diverse male lineup of over 20 speakers from Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, and the US. However, there are only four sessions lead by women within the industry. “I recognize this as a problem with my event,” said Koch. “The reason I have so much more male than female speakers is quite simple, the current speaker line-up is purely based on connections I had when I started planning for the event. It was a relatively short amount of time for me, so I wasn’t able to build relationships with more female WP experts beforehand.”
\n\n\n\nKoch assures that he will have a more balanced ratio for upcoming summits in 2020 and beyond. “Even in this prelaunch phase, I already got in touch with many outstanding women in the WP community which would make perfect speakers for the next events,” he said.

\nI purchased my first computer set when I was 19 years old, but several years before that, at the age of 15, I took a computer and MS-DOS training course and without having a computer, by merely practicing on paper, I managed to get the perfect score on the final exam.
\nIt was during those years that internet gradually entered our town. Well, don’t be shocked. Internet was introduced to our small town pretty late and we got acquainted with this technological phenomenon very late. However, internet instantly found its place in my daily routine and I was fascinated by it. After surfing the internet for a year, I was little by little encouraged to find out what a website is and how it works. Thus, I familiarized myself with the first programming language, that is, HTML and began learning it and given my enthusiasm, I mastered it in less than 10 days.
\nI was increasingly attracted to the internet and the issues pertinent to it, and soon enough I was drawn to various internet technologies. In less than a year, I was able to learn PHP, CSS, and HTML and relying on my limited knowledge, I began testing different systems and scripts.
\nDuring those same years, I worked with various blog systems, one of which was B2 system. A little while later, while conducting tests, doing installations, and having fun, I encountered a system which was quite similar to B2. I installed it. Then, I entered its various parts. I found its management system, templates and codes quite appealing and easy to work with. Thus, I began translating it into Persian for my personal purposes, and in less than a week, I turned most of its various parts into Persian and they were ready to be used. Yet, due to certain reasons, I failed to install this system on my host or test it online. But I kept the system on my computer and I worked with it and enjoyed it. Yes, that system was one of the first versions of WordPress.
\nPrior to working with WordPress, I had worked with various systems and scripts, and I was primarily accustomed to Joomla. However, simplicity, convenience, and interesting environment of WordPress drew me towards this system and I kept working with it.
\nI was by nature shy and reticent; therefore, I was not that active in any groups or forums –this was the case in my personal life as well as on the web. Consequently, during the first few years of my activity in the field of WordPress, I hardly ever participated in WordPress forums or local groups.
\nHowever, one of my friends who was active in the field of Persian WordPress, invited me to collaborate with one of the Persian WordPress support forums and this was a new beginning for me in the area of localization of WordPress.
\nMy keen interest in working with WordPress as well as helping others work and become more familiar with it made me spend a lot of time daily in the Persian WordPress forum. Nevertheless, due to the shortcomings and needs of the Persian WordPress community, we also created another support website. Following the creation of this new website, many users were attracted to it and gradually we got a lot of feedback from the Persian WordPress community. So, we became further involved with the Persian WordPress community and the scope of our activities expanded.
\nIt was during these years that I got my first formal job offer in the field of WordPress and I launched the first WordPress website for a client and received money in return for my services. This experience highly motivated me and helped me envision my future as a WordPress developer. Meanwhile, with the help of some of my friends, I started a small web design and development company which was supposed to focus on coding and programming electronic components, but my keen enthusiasm for web development drew the entire team to focus on web design and development. Due to my numerous activities in the field of WordPress and my growing recognition as a WordPress activist, over the course of a few years, virtually all of our company activities centered on WordPress as the main basis of our work, and now we are one of the active supporters of WordPress in Iran.
\nOver the years, WordPress transformed my personal and professional life. My personal life was changed in the respect that from a shy, quiet and inactive guy, I turned into an energetic, active person interested in discussions and participation in social events. Along the way, I also met great and influential people, including my future spouse.
\nWe organized various gatherings and meetups in the field of WordPress. We held WordPress seminars. We set up various public forums and groups to enhance the impact of WordPress and educate newcomers, and thus, many changes occurred in my overall mood and personality.
\nBesides, prior to the general change of direction in our company towards web and especially WordPress, our revenues were low and the company had a very slow growth; yet following our change of direction and basing the structure of the company on WordPress, our annual growth rate increased dramatically and there was a considerable increase in the size of the company, number of the personnel, and payments.
\nI should also mention that I am a graduate of textile engineering. However, my field of study has nothing to do with my career interests. Since from a very young age I dreamt of working in the field of computer science, even studying an irrelevant major did not stop me from pursuing my old dream and while studying textile engineering, I worked in the field of computer science and in my own company.
\nNow, 16 years after my first encounter with WordPress, it has pervaded every aspect of my life and has changed me personally, mentally, and professionally and has influenced my choice of career and business. And I am really glad that on that day I became familiar with WordPress and started working with it and am still involved with it up to this day, because not only my life changed as a result, but also I managed to educate so many people and help them transform their lives in a way that WordPress played a major role in their lives and contributed to their further success.
\nمن اولین کامپیوتر خود را وقتی ۱۹ ساله بودم خریدم ولی چندین سال قبل از آن در سن 15 سالگی به کلاس آموزش کامپیوتر و دوره آموزشی کار با DOS رفتم و بدون داشتن کامپیوتر و با تمرین روی کاغذ توانستم نمره کامل رو در آزمون نهایی کسب کنم.
\nدر همان سالها بود که اینترنت کم کم وارد شهر ما شد، بله تعجب نکنید درشهرکوچک ما اینترنت خیلی دیر وارد شد و ما خیلی دیر با این پدیده آشنا شدیم اما اینترنت به سرعت جای خود را در کارهای روزمره من باز کرد و من شیفته آن شدم بعد از یک سال کار کردن با اینترنت من کم کم ترغیب شدم که بفهمم سایت چیست و چگونه کار میکند و با اولین زبان یعنی HTML آشنا شدم و شروع به یادگیری آن کردم و با اشتیاق فراوانی که داشتم آن را در کمتر از ۱۰ روز یاد گرفتم.
\nمن هر روز بیشتر جذب اینترنت و موضوعات مرتبط با آن می شدم و به سرعت به سوی تکنولوژی های مختلف اینترنتی کشیده شدم. یک سال هم طول نکشید که توانستم HTML / CSS / PHP را یاد بگیرم و با همون دانش اندک، شروع به تست سیستم و اسکریپتهای مختلف کردم.
\nدر همان سالها من با سیستمهای وبلاگی مختلفی کار کردم که یکی از آنها سیستم b2 بود. کمی بعدتر در همین تستها و نصبها و بازیگوشی ها با سیستمی مواجه شدم که بسیار شبیه b2 بود. آن را نصب کردم سپس وارد بخشهای مختلف آن شدم، سیستم مدیریت، بخش قالب و کدهای آن و بسیار برایم ساده و جالب و جذاب به نظر رسید و به همین دلیل شروع به فارسی کردن آن برای کارهای شخصی خود کردم و کمتر از یک هفته بخشهای مختلف آن را تا حدود زیادی فارسی و آماده استفاده کرده بودم. اما به دلایل خاصی موفق نشدم که آن را بر روی هاست خود نصب و به صورت آنلاین تست کنم. ولی آن سیستم را بر روی کامپیوتر خود نگه داشتم و با آن کار می کردم و لذت می بردم. بله آن سیستم یکی از اولین نسخه های وردپرس بود.
\nمن قبل از کار با وردپرس با سیستم ها و اسکریپت های مختلفی کار کرده بودم و بیشترین اسکریپتی که با آن انس گرفته بودم جوملا بود اما سادگی و روانی و محیط جذاب مدیریت وردپرس باعث شد که من به سمت وردپرس کشیده شوم و کار با آن را ادامه دهم.
\nمن ذاتا آدم کم حرف و خجالتی بودم و به همین دلیل خیلی در گروه ها و انجمن های خاصی فعالیت نمیکردم و این هم شامل وب و هم شامل زندگی عادی من میشد به همین دلیل تا چند سال اولیه فعالیت من در وردپرس، خیلی در انجمنهای تخصصی و یا گروه های محلی آن فعالیتی نداشتم.
\nتا اینکه یکی از دوستان من که از فعالان وردپرس در زبان فارسی بود من را دعوت به همکاری در یکی از انجمن های پشتیبانی وردپرس به زبان فارسی کرد و این شروعی دوباره برای من در زمینه محلی سازی وردپرس بود.
\nعلاقه زیاد من به کار با وردپرس و همچنین کمک به دیگران برای کار و آشنایی بیشتر با وردپرس باعث شد که من روزانه زمان زیادی را در انجمن وردپرس فارسی صرف کنم. اما با توجه به کمبود ها و نیازهایی که جامعه فارسی داشت ما یک سایت پشتیبانی دیگر را نیز ایجاد کردیم با ایجاد سایت جدید کاربران زیادی جذب ما شدند و کم کم ما بازخوردهای زیادی را از جامعه فارسی گرفتیم به همین دلیل بیشتر درگیر جامعه فارسی وردپرس شدیم و دامنه فعالیت های ما نیز گسترش پیدا کرد.
\nدر همین سالها اولین پیشنهاد کاری رسمی من در زمینه وردپرس رسید و من اولین سایت خود را برای یک مشتری با وردپرس برپا کردم و در قبال آن مبلغی را دریافت کردم که این موضوع باعث شد انگیزه زیادی در من شکل بگیرد و مسیر حرکتی آینده خود را در وردپرس ببینم. همزمان، با کمک چند نفر از دوستان خود یک شرکت طراحی و برنامه نویسی کوچک را تاسیس کردیم که روند آن قرار بود بر کدنویسی و برنامه نویسی برای قطعات الکترونیکی باشد اما اشتیاق فراوان من به طراحی وب باعث شد که نظر کلیه جمع نیز به سمت کدنویسی و طراحی وب کشیده شود. با توجه به فعالیتهای زیاد من در وردپرس و بیشتر شناخته شدن من به عنوان یک فعال وردپرسی، در طی یک بازه زمانی چند ساله، کلیه فعالیت های شرکت ما نیز به سمت وردپرس کشیده شد و مبنای اصلی کارهای ما وردپرس شد و هم اکنون ما یکی از حامیان فعال وردپرس در ایران هستیم.
\nطی سالیان مختلف وردپرس زندگی شخصی و کاری من را تغییر داد. زندگی شخصی من را از این جهت تغییر داد که از یک آدم خجالتی و کم حرف و کم فعالیت به یک آدم فعال، پر انرژی و علاقمند به بحث و گفتگو و حضور در اجتماعات تبدیل شوم. در این مسیر با افراد بزرگ و تاثیرگذار منجمله با همسر آینده خود نیز آشنا شدم.
\nاجتماعات و میتاپهای مختلفی را در زمینه وردپرس راه اندازی نمودیم. سمینار های وردپرسی برگزار کردیم. انجمن ها و گروههای مردمی مختلفی را در جهت افزایش نفوذ وردپرس و آموزش آن به افراد تازه کار راه اندازی کردیم و به همین دلیل تغییرات زیادی در روحیه و خلقیات و شخصیت کلی من ایجاد شد.
\nهمچنین تا قبل از تغییر روند کلی شرکت ما به سمت وب و علیالخصوص وردپرس، شرکت درآمد خاصی نداشت و بسیار کند رشد می کرد اما پس از تغییر رویه و راه اندازی بستر اصلی شرکت بر روی وردپرس روند سالانه ما به شدت رشد کرد و هم از نظر اندازه و هم تعداد کارکنان و هم از نظر سطح دستمزد و حقوق پیشرفت چشمگیری در شرکت ایجاد شد.
\nاین را هم اضافه کنم که من فارغ التحصیل در رشته مهندی نساجی هستم. اما رشته تحصیلی من با رشته و علاقمندی کا ی من کاملا از هم جدا و نامرتبط هستند. چون من از جوانی آرزو و شوق کار کردن در زمینه کامپیوتر را داشتم و حتی تحصیل در رشته ای نامرتبط هم سبب نشد که دست از آرزوی قدیمی خود بردارم و حتی همزمان با تحصیل در رشته نساجی، در زمینه کامپیوتر و در شرکت خود مشغول به کار بودم.
\nحالا ۱۶ سال از اولین برخورد و کار من با وردپرس میگذرد و وردپرس تقریباً در همه زمینه های مختلف زندگی من نفوذ کرده و باعث تغییر من در زمینه شخصی، روحی و کاری و کسب و کار من شده است و از این بابت بسیار خوشحال هستم که آن روز توانستم با وردپرس آشنا شده و شروع به کار کنم و تا به امروز نیز درگیر آن باشم.
\nزیرا علاوه بر اینکه زندگی من تغییر کرد، توانستم افراد زیادی را نیز آموزش داده و به آنها کمک کنم تا زندگی آنها نیز تغییر کند و وردپرس شاکله زندگی آنها را تشکیل داده و باعث موفقیت بیشتر آنها شود.

The first Action allows developers to deploy plugin updates directly to the WordPress.org plugin directory by tagging a release on GitHub. The second Action handles readme file and asset updates.
\n\n\n\nOn November 14, GitHub announced the public launch of their GitHub Actions feature. GitHub Actions are a way for developers to automate workflows from their Git repositories. Actions can also be shared with others, reused across projects, and forked like any other public repository.
\n\n\n\nCurrently, there are over 1,300 GitHub Actions with more being added every day. At least nine of the current Actions are related to WordPress, including an Action to deploy WordPress by rtCamp, but there will certainly be more to come in the future.
\n\n\n\nWith GitHub Actions out of beta, it opens the door for companies like 10up to share their custom workflows and for others to build upon them. It will also be interesting to see what Actions other developers within the WordPress ecosystem release.
\n\n\n\nThe 10up team initially launched their custom Actions for WordPress in March 2019, which was during GitHub Actions beta period. “Everybody has been very positive,” said Helen Hou-Sandí, director of open source initiatives at 10up and WordPress lead developer. “We’ve had a number of people report bugs, request enhancements, and contribute code and documentation. That’s been a really great measure of adoption and attention for me — having people give thoughtful critical feedback and help us improve this tool for everybody.”
\n\n\n\nHou-Sandí is interested in seeing other ideas for adding workflows or potentially new Actions from the community. “An example of something we’ve just started doing without writing a whole new Action is generating hook documentation and deploying that to GitHub Pages, which eliminates the need to generate locally, commit manually, and decide on where to host things,” she said.
\n\n\n\n“Development was actually smoother than I anticipated,” said Hou-Sandí of creating and testing the team’s GitHub Actions. “Maybe because I spent a fairly long time planning and obsessing over potential issues and chose to use Bash.” For testing, she was able to use an inactive plugin repo on WordPress.org. “I’m sure I could have come up with a method to test completely locally, but being able to use actual environments without repercussions was helpful.”
\n\n\n\nThe 10up team has already been deploying plugin updates with the Actions. Hou-Sandí said that she does not think about this in terms of saving time, even though the team is already tagging releases via GitHub.
\n\n\n\n“What it’s really done for us is, along with well-documented release processes, made it so that anybody can jump in and get a plugin updated or released without worrying about modifying commit permissions or their personal knowledge of SVN,” she said. “This makes it much easier to get releases out especially when it’s an urgent bugfix.”
\n\n\n\nBoth of the GitHub Actions created by 10up help ease the pain of deploying plugin updates to the official WordPress plugin directory. They are designed to streamline plugin release management and simplify the process of getting code out to end-users.
\n\n\n\nWordPress plugin authors must use Subversion (SVN) to commit and tag plugin releases in the directory. Often, this is an issue because Git is the most-used version control system. Some developers have no experience with SVN, and the number of developers unfamiliar with it will likely only grow as Git continues to gain popularity. Even with those who do understand SVN, switching between version control systems can hinder workflows, particularly with larger teams.
\n\n\n\nWith so many WordPress plugin developers using Git, it makes sense to use tools that are a part of their daily workflow rather than jumping into a system only used during releases. That is where both of these GitHub Actions developed by 10up can help.
\n\n\n\nAdding Actions to a repository is a fairly straightforward process. All repositories have a new “Actions” tab. Developers can create new workflows directly from the Actions page for their repository. When adding a new workflow, it is simply a matter of copying and pasting a particular Action’s code snippet.
\n\n\n\nThe WordPress Plugin Deploy Action is for deploying plugin updates directly to the WordPress plugin directory. When developers tag a release on GitHub, it will automatically commit the update to the WordPress.org SVN repository. The Action respects .distignore and .gitattributes for ignoring files that should not be distributed to users. It also allows developers to add their plugin assets to a .wordpress-org folder, which will be committed to the top-level assets directory.
WordPress.org Plugin Readme/Assets Update is a separate Action that allows developers to commit changes to their plugin’s readme or assets. It is useful when plugin authors need to update their plugin’s Tested up to version number or update screenshots, banners, and icons. This Action watches for changes on a specified branch.
Both Actions require developers to set up secret values for their WordPress SVN username and password. Secrets are encrypted data that can be set via a repository’s “Settings > Secrets” screen. The SVN username and password are required so that GitHub can deploy commits to WordPress.org.

Users can now add custom image title attributes. Plugin developers can start diving into the new Block Patterns API. Plus, theme authors can begin tinkering with the experimental gradient presets and block templates features.
\n\n\n\nGutenberg 6.9 fixed numerous bugs, including an annoying invalid content error when selecting a color for the pullquote block. The update included several enhancements and changes to the underlying codebase.
\n\n\n\nMuch of the work in version 6.9 went toward experimental features, including the navigation block. At this point, the nav block still needs a ton of work for practical use. The interface is still a bit clunky. Undoubtedly, this is one of the toughest user experience challenges to solve and will take time before it is ready for widespread usage. Right now, it is about continually iterating upon the work from previous versions.
\n\n\n\nThe ability to add image titles is perhaps the biggest user-facing feature added in Gutenberg 6.9. The original ticket for adding the feature has been simmering for over a year.
\n\n\n\nThe Gutenberg team added the title field under the “Advanced” tab when editing an image block. This was a smart decision because image titles are often used incorrectly to describe an image, which is the job of the “Alt Text” field located under the “Image Settings” tab. Image titles are also generally unnecessary. When used, they should describe the role of the image on the page.
\n\n\n\nThe Block Patterns API is a developer feature primarily for creating initial setup states for complex blocks. For example, the columns block has several common patterns that users may want to choose. By providing those patterns when first inserting a block, the user does not have to go through the routine of configuring all of the settings for it.
\n\n\n\nThe idea is to cut back on the complexities of configuring some blocks so that users can more quickly get to the point of adding their custom content and getting their desired results.
\n\n\n\nThe first step toward the Block Patterns API was merged into Gutenberg 6.9, but it is still in the experimental stage at this point.
\n\n\n\nGutenberg introduced gradient backgrounds in version 6.7 for the button block. The feature launched with a set of gradients that did not match users’ themes, which meant the feature was little more than a fun experiment.
\n\n\n\nIn version 6.9, developers can register custom gradients that are less of an eyesore by using colors that fit into the theme’s color palette.
\n\n\n\nCurrently, block gradient presets are marked as an experimental feature and use the __experimental-editor-gradient-presets theme support flag. Now is a good time for theme authors to begin exploring this feature so they can be ready when the experimental flag is removed.
For theme authors, block templates were the most exciting aspect of Gutenberg’s potential when it first launched. Throughout all of WordPress’ history, creating custom page templates, particularly front page templates, has been an exercise in frustration. Theme authors have always had great ideas about what their themes’ front pages should look like. In a way, it is an author’s signature on a theme project. It is often what sets one theme apart from another.
\n\n\n\nHowever, creating an interface that allows users to change what is traditionally a blog post list to something more ornate and complex is not an easy thing to do. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of varying implementations are currently in the wild, each with their take on how to create a custom front page.
\n\n\n\nEnter Gutenberg. Theme authors, regardless of whether they love or hate it, usually see the potential of a block-based editor in terms of laying out a front page. The idea of having complete control over where specific blocks sit and how they appear on the front end is an alluring one, especially if there is a standardized experience for users to figure out how to plug their content into the blocks.
\n\n\n\nGutenberg 6.9 laid the groundwork toward this reality by resolving block templates from a theme’s /block-templates folder.
At this point, theme block templates are still in the experimental stage as part of the full site editing feature. From a theme development perspective, this could be revolutionary.

The WP Snippets ’til Christmas site will host 24 days of WordPress code snippets starting on December 1 and lasting until December 24. With each passing day, a new code snippet will be revealed.
\n\n\n\nAdvent calendars are special types of calendars used to count down the days until Christmas. They are often a part of religious celebrations but can be used for other purposes such as family traditions and games. For Richmond’s advent calendar, it is a way to contribute something back to the WordPress community.
\n\n\n\nRichmond opened the site for developers to make contributions to the 24-day event. “I’ve been in touch with the original contributors in the hope that they’ll submit again and registration is also open to anyone else who wishes to contribute,” he said. “Otherwise, it will just be the Elliott Richmond show.”
\n\n\n\nHe would rather have community submissions than attempting to write all 24 code snippets alone. Jeff Starr, Zac Gordon, and Tom McFarlin, all prominent developers in the WordPress community, have already signed on to submit code. Author’s note: I am also considering joining because it sounds like fun.
\n\n\n\nAnyone who wants to receive updates each day of the event can register for free on the WP Snippets ’til Christmas website. The same signup form is available for contributors.
\n\n\n\nThere are no limitations on the types of code snippets that contributors can submit, only that they should be related to WordPress. Richmond says he has some ideas such as a WP-CLI script and a deployment tool for use on the command line. However, code snippets can be something as simple as sticking a basic function into a theme to more complex scripts.
\n\n\n\n“I come from a frontend world and I’m a self-taught PHP developer,” said Richmond. “I’m evolving constantly and always eager to learn new things. I think WordPress is similar, it’s always evolving and inspiring innovation. If you put any limitations on things they rapidly become stagnated.”
\n\n\n\nThe code snippets are not aimed at any type of WordPress user in particular. “I think it’s really useful to see bite-size code snippets to help those in the community who are taking that next step into development,” said Richmond. “To those more seasoned developers, I think it’s always useful to see how other developers approach things.”
\n\n\n\nEach code snippet will have an open comments section similar to a traditional blog. This will allow others to say thanks for sharing or to jump-start a conversation.
\n\n\n\nRichmond has been a WordPress user and developer since the launch of the platform. He is the director of Square One Software, a software development company that specializes in WordPress development.
\n\n\n\nHe last ran the advent calendar in 2013. After the success of the first year in 2012, he decided to put it together for a second round. He wanted to keep it going beyond the first two years, but work and other commitments took priority.
\n\n\n\nIn the years since, Richmond met other local WordPress enthusiasts at WordCamp London. He now helps host the local meetup in Cheltenham, UK. With the help of the community, he organized four teams of local project managers, designers, developers, and content writers for a local do_action event. “I’m still an enthusiastic proponent of giving back to the community and actively encourage others in our local community to share their experience and knowledge,” said Richmond.
\n\n\n\ndo_action events are charity hackathons that use WordPress to help provide local charity organizations an online presence.
\n\n\n\n“Every single team and team member did an amazing job on the day for four local non-profit charities, putting together a functional WordPress website for each charity while I personally gave a charity representative some hands-on training,” said Richmond. “Taking away some of the overhead of creating a website for the charities allows them to concentrate on what they do best, which is raising money for their own community.”
\n\n\n\nRichmond described needing to find something to do next while still riding the buzz from the event. That is when he decided to relaunch the WP Snippets ’til Christmas event.
\n\n\n\nBecause it is the season, Richmond crowned “It’s a Wonderful Life” as the greatest Christmas movie.
\n\n\n\n“I love classics and this one is a true classic, pretty apt in the current move to make people aware of mental health,” said Richmond. “The movie starts with depression and pending suicide when a guardian angel is bestowed to the main character George Bailey. George is shown how many lives he’s impacted on in his own local community and how things would have been if he didn’t exist, a real heartwarming feel-good reflection on the things that we take for granted in our own existence.”
\n\n\n\nWith this upcoming holiday season, considering taking the time to give back to both your local community and the WordPress community. One great way to do that is to contribute a code snippet to WP Snippets ’til Christmas.

On Tuesday, John James Jacoby announced that bbPress 2.6 was available to the public after a six-year wait in a post titled bbPress 2.6 — Better Great Than Never. The announcement landed with a whimper as it was overshadowed by the release of WordPress 5.3 on the same day.
\n\n\n\nbbPress is an official WordPress project for powering forums. It was initially launched on December 28, 2004, by Matt Mullenweg as a standalone project. During the first iteration’s heyday, it was popular within the WordPress community as a simple forum solution. In 2011, bbPress 2.0 relaunched as a WordPress plugin with Jacoby as the lead developer.
\n\n\n\nThe bbPress team is primarily comprised of four part-time contributors with nearly no volunteers available for user testing. Stephen Edgar, Brandon Allen, and Sergey Biryukov were the primary developers other than Jacoby behind version 2.6.
\n\n\n\n“Jennifer M. Dodd deserves a mention for her contributions to 2.6 early on; she’s largely moved on but is wonderful,” said Jacoby. “Behind the scenes in the meta and forums teams are Samuel ‘Otto’ Wood, Dion Hulse, Mika Epstein, Marius Jensen, and countless others who provide feedback and feature requests upstream based on how WordPress.org uses bbPress.”
\n\n\n\nContributors resolved 420 open tickets with 1,737 code commits over the multi-year span it took for version 2.6 to drop. The new version ships with hundreds of bug fixes and improvements. Its features include per-forum moderation, new platforms to import forum content from, and an Engagements API.
\n\n\n\nThe new Engagements API connects user IDs to the various types of content in bbPress, such as forums, topics, replies, and topic tags. This works as a sort of relationship system between users and any content they interact with on the forums. In previous versions of bbPress, all of this data was saved in the user metadata table.
\n\n\n\nPer-forum moderation is a key feature for forums, but it has been one of the missing elements in bbPress. The new feature takes advantage of the Engagements API to connect user IDs to forum IDs. In turn, this allows site owners to create moderators for individual forums. This feature works in contrast to the existing “moderator” role in bbPress, which provides users global moderation powers.
\n\n\n\nYou could be forgiven for wondering if bbPress was all but dead. The last minor release happened in 2017 when the team dropped version 2.5.14. The same year, bbPress 2.6 was headed toward a third beta and even had a few release candidates.
\n\n\n\n“There was not very much feedback on the 2.6 beta or RC, and I had just transitioned into my role at Sandhills Development,” said Jacoby. “I decided it was better to concentrate on doing a good job where I could make a direct impact on people’s lives, rather than have no idea if I was doing a good job at all with bbPress.”
\n\n\n\nJacoby did not want to release a potentially buggy version 2.6 and take on the support burden at the time. Doing so would have interfered with his responsibilities at his new job. “Younger me would have tried to do both, and failed at both,” said Jacoby.
\n\n\n\nWhy such a long wait between releases? Most likely, it was for the same reason the Twitter announcement got fewer than a couple of dozen likes and even fewer retweets. There is not much community engagement with the project. On the flip side, the bbPress team has not been active on social media or the project’s official blog in the past two years.
\n\n\n\nDespite the lack of community engagement, bbPress is currently installed on over 300,000 sites. It runs the forums at WordPress.org, WordPress.com, CSS-Tricks, and other large communities. However, there is not much help sent back to the bbPress project from most places.
\n\n\n\n“On WordPress.org, bbPress is just one piece of a very complex puzzle, and everything is mostly in maintenance mode all the time,” said Jacoby. “The forums team focuses on the needs of the forums and the meta team helps maintain the code itself, but WordPress has made it easier and more rewarding to contribute to; so contributors graduate up to WordPress core and rarely look back.”
\n\n\n\nThe idea behind switching bbPress 2.x to a WordPress plugin from its standalone roots was that it would be simpler for the larger WordPress community to pitch in. Jacoby said that contributions have improved since the pre-plugin era, but it has not helped enough. “There’s more attention and accolades with WordPress and Gutenberg than there are with the bb’s or GlotPress,” he said.
\n\n\n\nOne of bbPress’ biggest problems is the lack of resources. There is no commercial element to the plugin and no major companies are funding anyone to work on the project full time.
\n\n\n\n“For an open-source project to be sustainable long-term, it needs to have an economy behind it,” said Jacoby. “Without an economy, what’s the real goal? Market share? Building better forum software? Those are not enough by itself when people need to make a living, and when less work with WooCommerce can help you earn a better living.”
\n\n\n\nSix years between major releases is a lifetime in technological years, plenty enough time for another company to claim the WordPress forum market share. However, bbPress managed to keep its crown as the most-used WordPress forum plugin during the wait. It does beg the question of whether companies or developers see a future for forums.
\n\n\n\nWith so many alternative options for user engagement, are forums a dying breed of software?
\n\n\n\n“If forums are dying, it’s a slow death, according to the numbers anyway,” said Jacoby. “Chat apps like Slack and Discord (or Twitch and YouTube) are where people do forum-type stuff these days. Moderating your own community takes dedication and work, and if you’re going to do work, why not build an audience someplace else instead?”
\n\n\n\nJacoby has hope for the future, however. “I can imagine a bunch of reasons why forums seem unattractive,” he said, “but to me they are still what everyone circles back around to, just like having their own blogs!”

WordCamp US 2020 will start on a…Tuesday.
\n\n\n\nOn November 11, the WordCamp US team announced that next year’s event will happen during the middle of the week, from October 27 through October 29. This is a change from the usual three-day weekend event. The time frame puts the event’s days on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The yearly conference will remain in St. Louis, Missouri, in 2020.
\n\n\n\nThose planning ahead can sign up for updates via the new WordCamp US 2020 site.
\n\n\n\nThus far, the switch away from a weekend has been met with generally positive responses via Twitter and Slack. However, some people fear the schedule will not allow them to attend.
\n\n\n\nThe WordCamp US Twitter account cited date availability, Halloween, and giving the weekend back to attendees as the reason behind the change.
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor professionals in the WordPress space, this move will likely be a welcome change. They are often able to get extra time off from work, sometimes paid leave, to attend the event. The company they work for may even be funding their travel. For them, attending a WordCamp is a part of their work.
\n\n\n\nThe unfortunate side effect of attending a WordCamp over the weekend is that some attendees usually have to wake up for work on Monday morning after traveling back home on Sunday. Many are essentially working two weeks straight without any downtime. This helps pile on the problem of developer burnout. Rest days, time with friends and family, and getting away from code-related things is a part of a healthy work-life balance.
\n\n\n\nMoving the event to the middle of the week should allow professionals to better maintain that balance.
\n\n\n\nOn the other hand, some attendees may find it harder to attend during the week. This is particularly true for WordCamp-goers who do not work with WordPress professionally. They may not be able to get the time off work.
\n\n\n\nAs a general rule, Americans tend to have little paid leave they can take advantage of throughout the year. The average worker in the private sector only gets 10 paid vacation days per year after one year of employment. Those numbers rise the longer an employee sticks with a single company. The US does not guarantee paid leave for workers.
\n\n\n\nWithout support from their employer, some people may have to choose between using their paid time off to attend and keeping those days in reserve for family vacation or holidays.
\n\n\n\nUnlike local WordCamps, the US conference is more of an industry event that sees professionals from across the US and the world. The move to a weekday schedule should be a nice change for many.

The update includes a new default theme named Twenty Twenty, user interface improvements aimed at accessibility, and new block editor features.
\n\n\n\nThis release saw contributions from 645 volunteers, which is the largest contributor group ever for a WordPress release.
\n\n\n\nThe release was led by Matt Mullenweg, Francesca Marano, and David Baumwald. They were joined by the following contributors in supporting roles in getting version 5.3 released.
\n\n\n\nWordPress 5.2 had 84 million downloads before WordPress 5.3’s release.
\n\n\n\nThe PHP native JSON extension is now required for any site running WordPress 5.3 or later. This should not be an issue for the majority of users because the extension has been bundled with PHP by default since 2006. WordPress will output an error and cancel the update procedure if it detects the extension is missing. Users who are unable to update will need to contact their web hosts to have the extension enabled.
\n\n\n\nWordPress is getting a fresh coat of paint. Anders Norén led the design team for the new Twenty Twenty theme, which was a fork of his original Chaplin theme.
\n\n\n\nThe Twenty Twenty theme is completely geared toward creating content with the block editor with its bold and opinionated styling. It comes with a cover page template and has a custom color system designed to keep the site’s color contrast accessible.
\n\n\n\nWordPress 5.3 includes features from the versions 5.4 – 6.5 of the Gutenberg plugin along with bug fixes and performance improvements from versions 6.6 and 6.7. For users who have not been running the plugin, they should see faster loading times and quicker responses from keystrokes.
\n\n\n\nWP Tavern has covered every major release of the Gutenberg plugin that will be bundled in WordPress 5.3, except Gutenberg 5.6. Catch up on any features you missed with the following articles.
\n\n\n\nWork toward large image handling went into the update. Instead of checking file sizes, images larger than 2,560 pixels are scaled down and used as the “full” image size. This change makes large images web ready and will significantly decrease file sizes for many users who upload images without optimizing them beforehand. This is common with mobile phone uploads.
\n\n\n\nFor those who prefer to maintain the original sizes of image uploads, which is sometimes the case with photography sites, grab the Disable “BIG Image” Threshold plugin.
\n\n\n\nThe site health screen introduced in WordPress 5.2 has some user experience improvements, such as tweaking how the grading indicator works for clarity. WordPress site owners will also need to verify their admin email every six months. This feature is to help make sure site recovery emails are being sent to the right place when an error occurs. It also lays the groundwork for future features that may build upon it.
\n\n\n\nDevelopers should read the full WordPress 5.3 field guide to make sure none of the changes affect their plugins or themes. Some of the changes include the following.
\n\n\n\nwp_die() now allows custom HTML.Introducing our most refined user experience with the improved block editor in WordPress 5.3! Named “Kirk” in honour of jazz multi-instrumentalist Rahsaan Roland Kirk, the latest and greatest version of WordPress is available for download or update in your dashboard.
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5.3 expands and refines the block editor with more intuitive interactions and improved accessibility. New features in the editor increase design freedoms, provide additional layout options and style variations to allow designers more control over the look of a site.
\n\n\n\nThis release also introduces the Twenty Twenty theme giving the user more design flexibility and integration with the block editor. Creating beautiful web pages and advanced layouts has never been easier.
\n\n\n\nThis enhancement-focused update introduces over 150 new features and usability improvements, including improved large image support for uploading non-optimized, high-resolution pictures taken from your smartphone or other high-quality cameras. Combined with larger default image sizes, pictures always look their best.
\n\n\n\nAccessibility improvements include the integration of block editor styles in the admin interface. These improved styles fix many accessibility issues: color contrast on form fields and buttons, consistency between editor and admin interfaces, new snackbar notices, standardizing to the default WordPress color scheme, and the introduction of Motion to make interacting with your blocks feel swift and natural.
\n\n\n\nFor people who use a keyboard to navigate the dashboard, the block editor now has a Navigation mode. This lets you jump from block to block without tabbing through every part of the block controls.
\n\n\n\nWordPress 5.3 adds even more robust tools for creating amazing designs.
\n\n\n\nAs the block editor celebrates its first birthday, we are proud that Twenty Twenty is designed with flexibility at its core. Show off your services or products with a combination of columns, groups, and media blocks. Set your content to wide or full alignment for dynamic and engaging layouts. Or let your thoughts be the star with a centered content column!
\n\n\n\nAs befits a theme called Twenty Twenty, clarity and readability is also a big focus. The theme includes the typeface Inter, designed by Rasmus Andersson. Inter comes in a Variable Font version, a first for default themes, which keeps load times short by containing all weights and styles of Inter in just two font files.
\nYour images will be correctly rotated upon upload according to the embedded orientation data. This feature was first proposed nine years ago and made possible through the perseverance of many dedicated contributors.
\nThe improvements introduced in 5.3 make it even easier to identify issues. Expanded recommendations highlight areas that may need troubleshooting on your site from the Health Check screen.
\nYou’ll now be periodically asked to confirm that your admin email address is up to date when you log in as an administrator. This reduces the chance of getting locked out of your site if you change your email address.
\nDevelopers can now work with dates and timezones in a more reliable way. Date and time functionality has received a number of new API functions for unified timezone retrieval and PHP interoperability, as well as many bug fixes.
\nWordPress 5.3 aims to fully support PHP 7.4. This release contains multiple changes to remove deprecated functionality and ensure compatibility. WordPress continues to encourage all users to run the latest and greatest versions of PHP.
\n\n\n\n\nThis release was led by Matt Mullenweg, Francesca Marano, and David Baumwald. They were enthusiastically supported by a large release squad:
\n\n\n\nThe squad was joined throughout the twelve week release cycle by 645 generous volunteer contributors (our largest group of contributors to date) who collectively fixed 658 bugs.

The payments system will allow bloggers to earn money for their content directly from any page on their site. The feature is also available for self-hosted WordPress users who have the Jetpack plugin installed.
\n\n\n\nThe recurring payments system works alongside Stripe, so users must have a connected account to receive payments. Stripe currently serves over 30 countries around the world. WordPress.com’s documentation maintains an up-to-date list of countries currently allowed to use the payment gateway.
\n\n\n\nThe new feature doesn’t come for free. Recurring payments access is only available to users on a premium WordPress.com plan. Plus, on top of the 2.9% + $0.30 for each payment that Stripe collects, WordPress.com has a tiered fee table based on the user’s plan.
\n\n\n\nAt the lowest tier, users will see nearly 11% of sales go toward WordPress.com and Stripe fees. If accepting large volumes of payments, it will make sense for most users to upgrade to a higher plan to offset the fees. The tiers seem reasonably priced because the infrastructure is completely handled by WordPress.com.
\n\n\n\nSelf-hosted users can bypass the WordPress.com fees with a multitude of existing payment plugins. They will have to decide whether the tools and support provided by WordPress.com is enough of a value-add to go for their service.
\n\n\n\nThe Jetpack team first opened a limited beta test for this new feature on May 18, 2019. At the time, the feature was referred to as a “membership block.” The announcement post says that users can “offer ongoing subscriptions, site memberships, monthly donations, and more.”
\n\n\n\nHowever, members-based content seems to be limited in comparison to other fully-featured membership plugins and would require extra manual work to limit access to a site’s premium content. The WordPress.com recommendation is to password-protect posts and email out the password to subscribers or set up a newsletter.
\n\n\n\nThis is far from a true membership system, but it could be enough for the average blogger who wants to make a few dollars on the side. The groundwork is there for a more powerful membership system in the future if the WordPress.com and Jetpack teams want to pursue it. The market is still ripe for innovation in the membership space.
\n\n\n\nThe new recurring payments feature requires at least Jetpack version 7.4. The feature comes in the form of a block for the block editor (Gutenberg) and is located under the “Jetpack” tab when inserting a new block.
\n\n\n\nThe block has four fields that can be customized:
\n\n\n\nThere is no limit on the number of different payment blocks users can add. Users can create a new payment plan by adding a new block. Previous options are backed up and will appear when inserting the block for users who need to output an existing plan on a new post or page.

This version of bbPress has been in development for just a bit under 6 years (yikes!) over which 420 tickets were resolved via 1737 individual code commits.
\n\n\n\nThere are so many improvements that a changelog hardly seems fitting for this post, but the major features include per-forum moderation, a bunch of new platforms to import from, and an extensible engagements API that now powers the relationships between users, forums, topics, replies, subscriptions, and favorites.
\n\n\n\nAt the time of this writing, bbPress is installed on approximately 336,000 WordPress installations, and is the most widely installed forum software in the world (according to BuiltWith.com and other sources.) Several of those are right here on bbPress.org, BuddyPress.org, and WordPress.org, the later of which includes a few dozen separate languages for non-English speaking communities of contributors all over the world.
\n\n\n\nThe elephant in the room… the reason that 2.6.0 took so long, is pretty simple. bbPress has a small contributor pool, and none of us are 100% dedicated towards it. The project gets very little community feedback, which makes it hard to know if everything is working perfectly, or nobody is testing it at all.
\n\n\n\nSo… 4 less-than part-time folks supporting over 300k sites, each with their own thousands of users, depending on us.
\n\n\n\nThe pressure is high, and the chamber is echo’y, and as my own career has progressed these past 13 years, the numbers above make me increasingly nervous.
\n\n\n\nAnd the longer something takes to do is the higher the expectations are, and I personally locked up pretty hard multiple times on whether done was done enough to be trusted by so many having been tested by so few.
\n\n\n\nBut… good things come to those who wait, and I’m sincerely sorry to have kept any of you waiting for too long.
\n\n\n\nbbPress 2.6.0 has been running smoothly on these forums since day 0. It’s stable, pretty, and a joy to use. We know you are gonna love it!
\n\n\n\n
Prefix everything.
\n\n\n\nIt is an adage that is old as the WordPress software itself. Prefixing has been a standard for WordPress developers for so long that it’s hard to imagine doing anything different. But, the time has come for something new. Well, it is long past due, but WordPress lags a bit behind in standard practices in the larger PHP world.
\n\n\n\nPrefixing is the practice of creating a code-friendly version of your project name and sticking it to the front of functions, classes, and other things in the global namespace. For example, you would name a function tavern_get_post() instead of get_post() to avoid function name clashes, which would result in a fatal error.
Prefixing is one form of “namespacing,” which is just a fancy way of saying that names in this space belong to a specific project. However, prefixing (and suffixing, which is less common) is a hack from a time when no solution existed for the PHP language.
\n\n\n\nPHP 5.3 introduced an official method of namespacing, so the standard has existed for years. Because WordPress 5.2 bumped the minimum PHP requirement to 5.6, it is time for developers to shed their old habits and catch up to the rest of the PHP world.
\n\n\n\nPHP namespacing only covers the following items.
\n\n\n\nconst keyword but not define()When it comes to script handles, image size names, database options, and other items in the global namespace, you must still prefix them. Those are IDs and outside the scope of PHP namespacing.
\n\n\n\nNamespaces are simple to declare. At the top of any PHP file that you want to use a particular namespace, declare it as shown in the following code snippet.
\n\n\n\n<?php\n\nnamespace Tavern;\n\n\n\n
What this line of code does is declare that everything within this particular file has the namespace of Tavern.
Take a look at a simple function under that namespace for outputting a Hello, World! message.
\n<?php\n\nnamespace Tavern;\n\nfunction hello() {\n _e( \'Hello, World!\', \'example-textdomain\' );\n}\n\n\n\nIf following the old rules of prefixing, hello() would have been named tavern_hello(). However, that’s not the case with namespaces. The hello() function is encapsulated within the Tavern namespace and will not conflict with other functions named hello().
Classes and interfaces work the same as functions. With a class name of Article, the class file might look like the following.
\n<?php\n\nnamespace Tavern;\n\nclass Article {\n // ...\n}\n\n\n\nNote: There should only ever be one class or interface per file. This is particularly important if you ever plan to use an autoloader.
\n\n\n\nDevelopers like to argue over how to name things, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. The most important rule is to be unique to avoid clashes with code from other projects. One of the best ways to do that is to use a top-level Vendor namespace with a Package sub-namespace.
Suppose the vendor namespace was Tavern and the project in question was a WordPress theme named News. The namespace for the project might look like the following.
\n<?php\n\nnamespace Tavern\\News;\n\n\n\n
That may be a bit verbose for some developers. If your project’s name is already fairly unique, such as “Awesomesauce,” you may simply want to use the following.
\n\n\n\n<?php\n\nnamespace Awesomesauce;\n\n\n\n
You will want to come up with some sort of standard convention, at the very least, for yourself. Eventually, you’ll want to get into things like auto-loading, so having a system you follow in all your projects will help. Feel free to peruse the PHP-FIG Autoloader standard.
\n\n\n\nWhen you need to use a class or function from a different namespace than the current namespace, you need to import it. This is done via the use keyword in PHP.
The use statement must come after the namespace declaration. It should also reference the fully-qualified class name. The following code imports the Tavern\\Helpers\\Post class into a file with a different namespace.
\n<?php\n\nnamespace Tavern\\Template;\n\nuse Tavern\\Helpers\\Post;\n\n\n\n
Once it is imported, you are safe to use the Post class directly as shown in the next snippet.
\n$post = new Post();\n\n\n\n
As of PHP 5.6, you can also import functions and constants from other namespaces using the use function and use const keywords, respectively. The following code block demonstrates how to import both a function and a constant.
\n<?php\n\nnamespace Tavern\\Template;\n\nuse function Tavern\\Helpers\\func_name;\nuse const Tavern\\Helpers\\CONSTANT_NAME;\n\n\n\n
Eventually, you will run into a situation where you need to import a class or function that has the same name as a class or function within the current namespace. You might be thinking that this is the problem that namespaces were meant to solve. Fortunately, PHP provides a method of creating an alias on import.
\n\n\n\nSuppose you have a class named Tavern\\User and need to implement the Tavern\\Contracts\\User interface. When importing the interface, you will need to create an alias as shown below.
\n<?php\n\nnamespace Tavern;\n\nuse Tavern\\Contracts\\User as UserContract;\n\nclass User implements UserContract {\n // ...\n}\n\n\n\nThe as UserContract appended to the end of the use statement creates an alias for the User interface. You can safely use the new UserContract name without error.
Classes, interfaces, functions, and constants all follow the same method for creating an alias.
\n\n\n\nIt is standard practice in the wider PHP world for namespaces and the project’s file and folder structure to match. Doing this makes it easy for other developers to easily locate code within your project. It also makes it simple to build autoloaders for loading classes on demand.
\n\n\n\nGenerally, all PHP code should go into a /src, /inc, or similarly-named folder in your project. An example plugin file and folder structure might look like the following.
\n/plugin-name\n /src\n /Core\n /Activate.php\n /Setup.php\n /View\n /Post.php\n /Page.php\n\n\n\n
If following the same structure with namespaces, the above .php files would contain the following classes.
Tavern\\Core\\ActivateTavern\\Core\\SetupTavern\\View\\PostTavern\\View\\PageTake note that file and folder names are case-sensitive and should match the namespace and class name exactly.
\n\n\n\nOf course, you are free to follow any convention that you wish. However, the preceding recommendation is good practice and will simplify how you organize your projects in the long term.
\n\n\n\nThe most obvious benefit is to avoid clashes between classes and functions with the same name. You should use real namespaces for the same reason you used prefixes.
\n\n\n\nNamespaces help to avoid long class names. Typing long names throughout a large project is a tedious practice at best.
\n\n\n\nMore easily switch implementations by importing. Once you get the hang of importing classes and interfaces from other namespaces, you can switch an implementation of an interface with a single line of code.
\n\n\n\nAutoloading classes is far easier if you follow the PSR-4: Autoloader standard, which requires at least a top-level namespace.
\n\n\n\nFor developers in the professional space, you will gain a marketable skill beyond the WordPress ecosystem. You will be hard-pressed to find PHP development work if you don’t know how to use namespaces. It is not a tough concept to grasp, but there can be a learning curve for some in practice.

\n\n\n\nFirst, we’d like to thank all the people who contributed to the poll we shared on our development updates blog and into a topic of one of our forums a month ago. It was really important for us to have your expectations about the content the plugin should provide to the WordPress Block Editor.
\n\n\n\nIt’s now time for us to share with you the results of this poll and tell you how we plan to work on BuddyPress blocks for the next release(s) of your favorite community engine!
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt received a total of 161 votes divided as follows:
\n\n\n\nAs you can see, top results are mostly corresponding to existing widgets except for:
\n\n\n\nWe also analyze from these results that there is no blocks expected to be a must have and it’s interesting to see that the 2 first blocks are about highlighting WordPress content. Finally only one suggestion was made : A “Block for Activity Stream component” (PS: in Nouveau there’s an existing widget for it).
\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https://buddypress.org/wp-content/uploads/1/2019/11/starting-point-1024x520.png\")
Screen capture of the BuddyPress Blocks category when the BP Blocks plugin is active.We think working on blocks to highlight a single Group or a single Member is a good starting point. Moreover it’s something we don’t make possible yet. We also think converting existing widgets to blocks is an obvious move to do.
\n\n\n\nWe’ve decided to work on these blocks from a specific GitHub repository and to merge into the Core of the BuddyPress plugin the “JavaScript built” blocks as soon as they are ready. To the very least, we’ll have the 2 blocks to highlight a Group or a Member of your community site merged into BuddyPress for its next major release (6.0.0).
\n\n\n\nWe’ve just pushed the minimal code to start working on BuddyPress blocks into the BP Blocks’ GitHub repository. We’ll soon add contributing notes into this repository so that you can help us building beautiful BuddyPress blocks. You can already share with us your “Pull Requests” forking the repository.
\n\n\n\nIf you can’t wait for the contributing notes to start working on BuddyPress Blocks, here’s a quick “how-to” :
\n\n\n\nnpm install/src/bp-{ID of the BP Component}/js/blocks/ directory.bp/member block is registered here to build your registration code.npm start to see how your JavaScript code behaves at each edit.Let’s build awesome BuddyPress blocks, together <3.

WordPress enthusiasts share many examples of how WordPress changed people’s lives for the better. This monthly series shares some of those lesser-known, amazing stories.
\n\n\n\nWe’d like to introduce you to Kim Parsell. Kim was an active and well-loved member of the WordPress community. Unfortunately, she passed away in 2015. Lovingly referred to as #wpmom, she leaves behind a legacy of service.
\n\n\n\nKim Parsell\n\n\n\nIn order to understand how highly valued the WordPress community was to Kim Parsell, you have to know a bit about her environment.
\n\n\n\nKim was a middle-aged woman who lived off a dirt road, on top of a hill, in Southern rural Ohio. She was often by herself, taking care of the property with only a few neighbors up and down the road.
\n\n\n\nShe received internet access from towers that broadcast wireless signals, similar to cell phones but at lower speeds.
\n\n\n\nBy listening to the regular podcast, WordPress Weekly, Kim met members of the WordPress community and was able to talk to them on a weekly basis. The show and its after-hours sessions provided Kim a chance to mingle with the who’s who of WordPress at the time. It helped establish long-lasting relationships that would open up future opportunities for her.
\n\n\n\nSince she lived in a location where few around her used or had even heard of WordPress, the community was an opportunity for her to be with like-minded people. Kim enjoyed interacting with the community, both online and at WordCamp events, and many community members became her second family, a responsibility she took very seriously.
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Many members of the WordPress community became her second family, a responsibility she took very seriously.”
Jeff Chandler
Kim is regarded as one of the first “women of WordPress,” investing a lot of her time in women who wanted to break into tech. She worked hard to create a safe environment sharing herself and her knowledge and was affectionately called #wpmom.
\n\n\n\nShe contributed countless hours of volunteer time, receiving “props” for 5 major releases of WordPress, and was active on the documentation team.
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Affectionately called #wpmom, Kim was an investor. She invested countless hours into the WordPress project and in women who wanted to break into tech.”
Carrie Dils
Kim at WordCamp San Francisco\n\n\n\nIn 2014, she received a travel stipend offered by the WordPress Foundation that enabled her to attend the WordPress community summit, held in conjunction with WordCamp San Francisco. She shared with anyone who would listen, that this was a life-changing event for her.
\n\n\n\nThe WordPress Foundation now offers that scholarship in her memory. The Kim Parsell Memorial Scholarship provides funding annually for a woman who contributes to WordPress to attend WordCamp US, a flagship event for the WordPress community.
\n\n\n\nThis scholarship truly is a fitting memorial. Her contributions have been vital to the project. Moreover, the way she treated and encouraged the people around her has been an inspiration to many.
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHer spirit lives on in the people she knew and inspired. Here’s hoping that the Kim Parsell Memorial Scholarship will serve to further inspire those who follow in her footsteps.
Drew Jaynes
Sadly Kim died just a few short months later. But her spirit lives on in the people she knew and inspired within her communities. The Kim Parsell Memorial Scholarship will serve to further inspire those who follow in her footsteps.

This year I got the chance to go to the State of the Word, which is a talk given by Matt Mullenweg each year at WordCamp US (WCUS). Here are my thoughts and views on this year’s State of the Word.
\n\n\n\nBefore he even got started with the State of the Word, Matt premiered a new documentary that focuses on the fact that WordPress is both open source and also a big community. The documentary takes you to WordCamp Phoenix, WordCamp US (2018), and others. It also gives you first-hand exposure to what the community is really like.
\n\n\n\nAnother thing that the film emphasizes, is the fact that everyone wants everyone in the community to succeed, and this might be one of the unique features of the WordPress community — how members are supportive of each other.
\n\n\n\nMatt discussed several milestones and release notes for WordPress.

\n\n\n\n![\"\n\"](\"https://cdn.poststatus.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/path.png\")
\nAs I was listening to the talk, I did find some golden gems that I thought my generation might be able to take advantage of and use to the benefit of both our generation and also the WordPress community.
\n\n\n\nOne of those things is the new documentary that shows how open the WordPress Community really is.
\n\n\n\nAnother thing, and yes, I am serious about this, is the fact that they are adding gradients to the WordPress editor for the Gutenberg blocks. I think that addition is going to bring out the artistic side of those of us who do not know how to do gradients in code yet.
\n\n\n\nOne of the major things that I did during my WordCamp US trip happened during the Q&A; Session which is right after the State of the Word. I decided to try to ask a question of my own.
\n\n\n\nMe asking Matt Mullenweg a question\n\n\n\nAnd to summarize, I asked what was Matt’s plan for the inclusion of the next generation of WordPress users. His response to that is the fact that Automattic bought Tumblr and is going to turn the back end of their site into a Gutenberg-centric WordPress interface.
\n\n\n\nI do not think that this is a bad thing. In fact, I think that this is a good thing because of the fact that Tumblr is something that is attracting the younger generation of users.
\n\n\n\nI think Tumblr’s addition is going to be targeted towards some of the same people who are already using WordPress, and I was just hoping for a start to something that is able to capture a new group of people who are not using Tumblr to blog.
\n\n\n\nAnd now I know what you are thinking, Doesn’t KidsCamp already attract the younger generation? I LOVE KidsCamp and everyone and everything to do with KidsCamp. But here is the thing, KidsCamp is something that happens in less than half of the WordCamps inside of the United States, and getting there might be difficult for some parents, especially if they are going to bring their kids with them.
\n\n\n\nThe organization of the whole event played out nicely. The media (or the people who tweet the most) got to sit in the front rows for the convenience of taking photos and notes.
\n\n\n\nThere was no line for any of it, therefore we got the chance to fully enjoy the afternoon break that came right before the State of the Word.
\n\n\n\nI’m glad I got to ask my question to Matt. I think that there are some different ways that different people from the WordPress community are able to step in and help, beyond Tumblr, and beyond KidsCamp.
\n\n\n\nBut that is going to come inside of a different blog post later in the future.

Over the years, theme authors have brought a plethora of features to the platform. In part, it is because they have often had to solve foundational issues with WordPress to create the features that end users want.
\n\n\n\nThe post and body classes all theme authors use today? Those were originally in a theme called Sandbox.
\n\n\n\nFeatured images? Those were popularized by magazine themes a decade ago.
\n\n\n\nYou think post formats originated with Tumblr? Matt Mullenweg, co-creator of WordPress, taught us how to create aside posts in our themes in 2004, but they existed before that.
\n\n\n\nWordPress features often get their start in the theme world. We sometimes take for granted the years of experimentation and iteration on ideas where theme authors are putting in the work. Even the block editor is handling items that have traditionally been within the realm of theme design. The cover block is a good example. For years, theme authors built theme options for a basic hero image with text and buttons overlain. The result was often clunky and not ideal for users. By bringing this feature into core, it provided users the ability to put this cover block in any permitted block area.
\n\n\n\nThe reason many theme features make it to core is that they simply work better when they are standardized. Users know what to expect, and theme authors can focus on the design aspect rather than solving the user experience problem.
\n\n\n\nPart of the problem of the past is that each new feature adopted into core did not follow any standard design pattern or naming scheme. A huge skill in designing WordPress themes is committing the mish-mash of hundreds of classes to memory.
\n\n\n\nThe block editor is in a unique position to change that by creating a universal design framework.
\n\n\n\nWith block patterns coming in the future and full-site customization at some point after that, theme authors are wondering just exactly where this ship is sailing. It is exciting because the possibilities are boundless for end users. It is frightening for theme authors who have built their empires upon one way of doing things, but development is more about adaptation than anything else.
\n\n\n\nArmed with the foreknowledge that the landscape is changing, this is the moment theme authors need to band together to shape their futures in a block-based world.
\n\n\n\nThere is a bit of a running joke in one of the developer groups I am involved in that core developers are not theme authors. From the theme author perspective, it can sometimes seem like ideas are haphazardly thrown together with no thought toward CSS design systems.
\n\n\n\nOh, I see some BEM. Why does this sub-element not follow the same naming scheme? Wait. Is that a 38-character utility class?
\n\n\n\nWhat WordPress has always lacked is a universal front-end design system. At times, that has been a good thing. It has allowed theme authors to use their preferred framework. Any theme author who has been in the game long enough will tell you, that sort of flexibility is great…until it is not. Have you ever tried adding contextual classes to widgets? What about adding a utility class to the comment form wrapper? You will need an Aspirin. Or two.
\n\n\n\nWith WordPress, some things are set in stone and others are pluggable. Some features follow a standard class-naming scheme and others make no sense. The result for themes is often bloated CSS in an attempt to wrangle the various components.
\n\n\n\nIt is next to impossible to fully use a utility-class framework like Tailwind CSS in a theme without recreating core features.
\n\n\n\nMuch of this stems from years of legacy code piling up and WordPress’ commitment to backward compatibility. But, the future does not have to resemble the past. We are at the threshold of a new era, and now is the time for front end designers to jump into the conversation.
\n\n\n\nWordPress needs a solid front-end design framework.
\n\n\n\nThat is a loaded statement. If you put 20 designers in a room and ask them to discuss design frameworks, it could be a recipe for fisticuffs. I tend to be an optimist and hope the debate provided results.
\n\n\n\nGutenberg has pushed us partially in this direction, but it does not quite go far enough. With full-site editing in the future, there is a need for a more holistic approach in tackling this problem.
\n\n\n\nMore than anything, we need more front end designers in the conversation. There is no way .has-subtle-pale-green-background-color should exist as a utility class over something like .bg-pale-green, .bg-green-100, or even .background-pale-green, if you want to be more verbose. There was no concept of optimization that went into that decision. In a time where developers are running on gigabyte internet connections, it is easy to forget that much of the world is following along at a slower pace.
A component-based naming scheme with a healthy dose of utility classes is one option that could hit several sweet spots. This is not an argument for one CSS framework over another. There are many good, existing options. WordPress should tackle this head on by borrowing from the groundwork laid down by other projects and creating something uniquely WordPress. It should be a leader in the field.
\n\n\n\nDesign frameworks are also about plugins. There is some crossover into the realm of themes where the two have been waging an ongoing war since the dawn of the theme system. The battlefield between themes and plugins is littered with the deaths of good ideas. Far too many never garnered the support they needed to land in core. Some sort of universal design standard could stanch the flood of issues and call for a cease-fire.
\n\n\n\nA plugin that outputs a custom front-end component has no way of knowing how the current theme handles vertical rhythm, for example. Does it use top or bottom margin? What is the value and unit used? This is foundational stuff, and it is almost always broken when the plugin attempts to add custom CSS to handle it.
\n\n\n\nWordPress needs a design framework, or language, that allows all of its moving parts to come together in harmony on the front end. I am sure we will get there at some point. I hope that it is more cohesive than the random components and naming schemes of the past. We should also have a clear roadmap that fills in some of the technical details so developers and designers might be prepared.
\n\n\n\nRich Tabor makes the argument that core WordPress could provide a single parent theme in his article A Look at WordPress Themes of the Future. The idea is that theme authors would be relegated to creating a child theme for this “master” theme.
\n\n\n\nThe gut reaction for many would be that it would not work, themes would lose their personality and we would live in a world of cookie-cutter designs.
\n\n\n\nThe reality is that we are barreling toward a future where the idea of a single parent or master theme is a serious consideration.
\n\n\n\nMost themes are custom groupings of standard elements that exist in nearly all themes. There are some decisions, aside from stylistic concerns, that make themes different from one another, such as the layout of the header. One theme might have a site title and nav menu in one block. Another might have a nav menu, title, and a second nav menu below. Yet, another theme might show a search box. In a world where full-site customization belongs to the user, those decisions become a part of the user experience rather than the developer experience.
\n\n\n\nThemes will need to stand out with color palettes, typography, and their own brand of quirkiness — a return of the days of CSS Zen Garden but on a much larger scale.
\n\n\n\nI won’t be sad about that. It would be interesting to see the competition between the top designers in the field. It may also bring WordPress theming back to an era when anyone could do it with a little CSS knowledge and determination.
\n\n\n\nWhile we are not quite ready for a future in which one theme rules theme all, it is a place to start the conversation. If we designed WordPress for this potential future, even if we never implement a master theme, what would the roadmap look like? What obstacles stand in the way? Is it feasible?

Newspack announced the relaunch today. The announcement includes the list of 34 new publications that will work with the Newspack team during its second phase.
\n\n\n\nNewspack is a project of Automattic, the parent company of WordPress.com. Its mission is to create a platform for more newsrooms to make the move to WordPress. The team has been working alongside industry leaders and small publications during the pilot program this year to tackle issues with running online newsrooms.
\n\n\n\nChilean news site El Soberano was the first newsroom to go live on the new system, relaunching their site on October 16. Oklahoma Watch follows them as only the second publication to take the next step. The remaining participants in the pilot program are expected to launch in the coming weeks.
\n\n\n\nOklahoma Watch is a non-partisan publication that does not publish opinion pieces. It is a nonprofit news organization that covers stories on public-policy issues within the state of Oklahoma. “Those include education, criminal justice, public and mental health, state government, poverty, and human-needs issues that disproportionately affect women, children, and the disadvantaged,” said executive editor David Fritze. “Our staples are in-depth stories, searchable data, interactives, public forums, live-tweeting and other social media, and, increasingly, video.”
\n\n\n\nThe publication distributes its stories for free republication to around 100 newspapers and radio and TV news outlets throughout the state.
\n\n\n\nIn 2013, the Oklahoma Watch site moved to Largo, a WordPress theme framework for news publishers. It is developed and maintained by the Institute for Nonprofit News.
\n\n\n\n“Our website was clean and bright, but was rather monotonous, with a long stack of same-sized headlines, excerpts and a right sidebar with typical fixtures, such as a newsletter sign-up ask and our Twitter feed,” said Fritze. After bringing on a visual journalist to bring the site up to date with media, they still felt tools were limited and needed a site refresh.
\n\n\n\n“We went live with Newspack more than a week ago, and we’re still gradually digging around — spelunking in a way — to learn how to make the most of it,” said Fritze. “But I would say it already has and will make a world of difference.”
\n\n\n\nHe sent the following update to the publication’s email subscribers.
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[Newspack] gives smaller organizations more tools to deliver their content in engaging, creative ways. What you will notice: a faster mobile experience; a better showcasing of visuals, stories, and informational bits, and a more vibrant, flexible home page – with new features to come. The goal is to make oklahomawatch.org a richer experience for you and to enhance the investigative reporting that is central to our mission.
The team switched from the classic editor and has been learning the block editor (Gutenberg) along with the Newspack tools. Fritze said the team is happy about:
\n\n\n\nAs part of the initial pilot program, Oklahoma Watch was in a unique position to help make this an easier process for future publications on the platform. “We were fortunate to be a pilot site and have the full let’s-develop-this attention of the Newspack team — on Slack, in regular video conference calls, in emails, and by phone,” said Fritze.
\n\n\n\n“Early on, it became clear that some of the news sites’ reps were more well-versed in web tech and other programs than we were, so it took me a while to get my bearings,” said Fritze of the process. “But I requested specific features and preservation of one or two of the tools we already have and prefer.” One such tool was the TablePress plugin. The Oklahoma Watch team uses it to display interactive, tabular data from CSV files.
\n\n\n\nFritze said he had a few requests for other features that are still pending, such as a film-strip-like homepage carousel. However, the Newspack team was clear from the outset that not all plugins or features would be adopted for the system.
\n\n\n\n“Perhaps that would give some clients pause, not being able to pull any fish you wanted out of the sea of WordPress plugins, based on some mention on the web,” said Fritze. “On the other hand, the quality control is reassuring, especially for smaller organizations like ours that have little time to go kicking those tires.”
\n\n\n\nIn any controlled system, it makes sense that not every feature request will be granted. It would increase the quality control burden. However, without more control over tools or features, it could be a non-starter for some publications.
\n\n\n\nFritze does have a big feature request for the long term. “If there is one thing that Newspack should make sure happens going forward, it’s to promote easy interaction among Newspack sites, including the ability to communicate one on one and find peer sites that have similar needs and challenges,” he said.
\n\n\n\nOklahoma Watch and the 11 other newsrooms currently in the program are being followed by a larger group of publications. The 34 new sites will have the benefit of the past seven months of work the Newspack team and pilot newsrooms put into the initial launch. Newsrooms in the second phase are expected to relaunch their sites on the platform by the end of February 2020.
\n\n\n\nPublications such as the Hong Kong Free Press, MLK50: Justice Through Journalism, and The Daily Yonder are a part of the second group. Most are small or medium-sized publications that focus on local news. The full list is available via the announcement post on the Newspack blog.
\n\n\n\nLike the first group, the new newsrooms will work directly with the Newspack team to identify and address technical issues faced in online journalism. They will continue helping to design and test the platform’s features.
\n\n\n\nAll pilot newsrooms will continue using Newspack for free until March 2020. After that point, the price will jump to $1,000 per month. The price includes priority access to Newspack developers, some level of premium support, quarterly benchmarking reports, and community membership with other Newspack users.
\n\n\n\nThe Newspack team plans to consider additional applications in January 2020. Nearly 500 applicants have applied for the program thus far.

But, there is no need to say that. He has an infectious quality that grabs your attention and doesn’t let go. I found myself hanging onto every word in his session, The Content Framework that Powers Stories, Landing Pages, & More, via the WordCamp U.S. livestream this past weekend.
\n\n\n\nTelling stories is a uniquely human trait. Our ability to weave narratives together is what separates us from lower animals. Sure, other important things such as the ability to make fire, understand advanced mathematics, and build rocket-powered ships all set us apart. But, it is the stories we tell that are the most interesting things about us as a species.
\n\n\n\nAny good story leaves you waiting to see what will happen next and how the people within those stories react. How they grow. How they change.
\n\n\n\nThis fundamental human activity was at the heart of Lema’s 15-minute presentation. “When people believe that you’ve been where they are and can see that you’ve gotten to the other side, they will follow,” said Lema of selling products.
\n\n\n\nUltimately, the bridge framework is about guiding others through your journey and helping them cross the bridge you have found. This framework can apply to your brand, your products, or any other content that you are providing to others.
\n\n\n\nOne thing product makers often fail at is providing a solution before sharing how they have encountered the same problem. “No one feels like they need a bridge until they are facing a river,” said Lema. The struggle must come first.
\n\n\n\nIn 2007, I built one of the most popular themes ever in WordPress’ short history. It does not matter what theme it was. It is long retired. What mattered was it helped users get to their destination.
\n\n\n\nOne theme user who stood out was building a Formula 1 racing website. I was a mediocre designer at best, but this user would create some of the most beautiful customizations that I had ever seen. It seemed like he would change the design every week. Each time, I was in awe at his talent. He continued using this same theme of mine for years, even after I archived it and moved onto other theme projects.
\n\n\n\nWhat I should have learned during those years was, without knowing, I had the story right. I knew the technical aspects of why this specific theme was a leap forward. However, I didn’t understand the story I was telling users was drawing people in.
\n\n\n\nI had been where they were. I had struggled to get to where I was going. I had braved the journey beyond that point and found a path for others to join me.
\n\n\n\nAs time moved on, I became a better developer. I had one more insanely popular theme. Again, it was about the story. I could recognize the problems. I had the same frustrations as others. I had a way to fix those problems and get people from Point A to Point B. I invited others along. I told them I would be there every step of the way.
\n\n\n\nI never recreated that early success with another theme, at least not on the same scale.
\n\n\n\nI stopped focusing on what mattered.
\n\n\n\nI marketed future themes based far too much on the technical aspects. Essentially, I was flaunting my development skills. After years of lucking into success by being a storyteller, I tried to follow the trends of others who were marketing their HTML5, CSS3, or whatever other keyword was popular at the time.
\n\n\n\nFortunately, I had loyal users who stuck with me over the years. There was one theme user who would often switch themes whenever I released a new one. Like the racing enthusiast, this person would put his own spin on the design. He used the themes on his photography site. What was interesting about some of the themes was they were not specifically built with photography in mind. That was never my goal when creating them.
\n\n\n\nWhat was it that made this user continue using different themes of mine?
\n\n\n\nIt was never about all the bells and whistles. Many of them were unused on the site. It was about what came after activating the theme. It wasn’t about me. It was about the user being able to tell his own story through photos.
\n\n\n\nIn hindsight, I could see that the projects I achieved the most success with were the projects I was the most passionate about. I had built them to solve specific problems. The technical details did not matter. I had built or found a bridge to get to the place that I wanted to be. My excitement and passion naturally transferred to how I spoke about those projects. It changed how I sold them to users. I told my story.
\n\n\n\nThe biggest failures I had were when I did not have a good story to tell.
\n\n\n\nFor those that are running any type of business, you owe it to yourselves to listen to Lema explain how to connect with customers.
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLema’s session starts at the 2:59:46 mark if the videos doesn’t start at the correct point. The embedded video should begin at his introduction.

His speech was primarily about blocks, blocks, more blocks, and a dash of community. This doesn’t come as a surprise because we are closing in on the one year mark of the official merge of the Gutenberg plugin into the core WordPress code. It has been a year about blocks, and nothing is changing that course.
\n\n\n\nWordCamp U.S. 2019 was held in St. Louis, Missouri, over this past weekend. The event was planned and put together by 47 organizers and 122 volunteers. There were 90 speakers who held sessions across a range of topics in multiple rooms.
\n\n\n\nFor people who were not able to attend or watch via the livestream, the sessions are available via YouTube. Eventually, the videos will also make their way over to WordPress.tv
\n\n\n\nMullenweg opened The State of the Word by showing a documentary named Open: The Community Code, which is a film that primarily focuses on the WordPress community.
\n\n\n\nThe film explores why people are so passionate about a project that is essentially just code. What drives them to organize and attend events like WordCamps? Why do they volunteer their free time contributing to an industry that sees over $10 billion in profits? What makes the WordPress community different from other projects? The film team interviewed 37 people to get to the bottom of these questions.
\n\n\n\nThe team behind the project is also providing the film and all of the raw footage as open source for others to use.
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMullenweg primarily focused on WordPress updates and changes within the community when recapping events of the past year. Since the release of WordPress 5.0 on December 6, 2018, WordPress has had two major releases. A third major release, WordPress 5.3, is scheduled to launch on November 12.
\n\n\n\nDuring 2019, most heavy work went into the Gutenberg plugin, which was ported back into core WordPress. The number of contributors to Gutenberg more than doubled since WordPress 5.0 launch, an increase from 200 to 480 individuals.
\n\n\n\nThe release of WordPress 5.1 introduced the first iteration of the site health page, new cron features, and a site meta table for multisite installations.
\n\n\n\n“WordPress is all about empowering users and we wanted to put the information and the tools in the hands of users as well to keep the site running in tip-top shape as we power an ever-increasing percentage of the web,” said Mullenweg of the site health feature. He further explained that it is WordPress’ responsibility to make sure users are up to date and running the latest versions of software.
\n\n\n\nBuilding on top of the site health introduction, WordPress 5.2 launched with a PHP fatal error protection and recovery mode. The release also bumped the minimum PHP version to 5.6 and ported all widgets to blocks.
\n\n\n\nMullenweg then outlined the work done toward getting WordPress 5.3 ready for its November 12 launch date. The major changes include:
\n\n\n\nAs of now, 83% of all users on WordPress 5.2 or newer are running at least PHP 7. This means the WordPress project has done what it can from the user end. It is now time to start working with hosts to get sites updated to the latest version of PHP.
\n\n\n\nThe block editor is now available on both Android and iOS devices. Mullenweg announced they were almost done with offline post support and that a dark mode is coming in weeks.
\n\n\n\nThe community had a good year. In 2019, there were 141 WordCamp events, 34 of which were in new cities. There were 17 Kids Camps for younger contributors to get involved. There were also over 5,000 meetups and 16 do_action() charity hackathons.
\n\n\n\nThe WordPress news page has been highlighting one story from HeroPress every month in the past year. HeroPress is a project that allows people to tell their stories of how they got involved with WordPress.
\n\n\n\nMullenweg held a moment of silence for long-time community member Alex Mills (viper007bond) who passed away earlier this year after a long-fought battle with leukemia. Automattic is planning to finance a scholarship in his honor. The scholarship will go to a plugin developer to attend WordCamp U.S. who has not had an opportunity to attend.
\n\n\n\nMullenweg started focusing on the block editor after recapping the events of the past year. WordPress 5.0 was released one day before WordCamp U.S. 2018 in Nashville.
\n\n\n\n“We had people coordinating work from airplanes,” said Mullenweg. “There were impromptu groups of core developers, testing and packaging the release in the hallways. The polyglots, marketers, and support teams were just scrambling to get ready.”
\n\n\n\nHe explained the reason for the biggest change to WordPress in its then 16-year history. “We came together and decided to make this big change cause we wanted to first disrupt ourselves. We wanted to empower more WordPress users to realize our mission of democratizing publishing, and wanted to make the web a more open and welcoming place.”
\n\n\n\nNot everyone was happy with the direction of WordPress and its new block editor. It was a rough year from a leadership perspective to have a vision and see it through, despite constant negative feedback. Mullenweg highlighted some of the comments that were critical of the block editor and explained that they had learned a lot from the process.
\n\n\n\n“I think that we also have a great opportunity when we make big changes in the future,” said Mullenweg. “Sort of build that trust in the conversations around testing, using GitHub for development, things like accessibility. So, I understand why we had a lot of this feedback. But, we did get through it together.”
\n\n\n\nMullenweg highlighted that, according to Jetpack plugin stats, over 50 million posts have been written in the block editor. That amounts to around 270 thousand posts per day. It is important to note that this stat is on the lower end because it only accounts for users of the Jetpack plugin. Therefore, the number is likely much higher.
\n\n\n\nHe covered the performance improvements to the editor, block motion when moving blocks, typewriter mode, block previews, and the social block. “These are like the Nascar stickers of the web,” he said of social icons. “They’re everywhere.”
\n\n\n\nIn his address, Mullenweg covered the four phases of the Gutenberg project.
\n\n\n\nThe first phase was the initial launch and iteration of the block editor for content. The second stage, which we are in now, is about full site customization. This includes widgets and non-content areas, and will eventually cover areas like the site header and footer. It will be interesting to see how page-building plugins work with these upcoming changes. Some could use WordPress as the foundational, framework-type layer. Others may go their own way. Themes will also have to keep pace with the changes.
\n\n\n\nPhase three, collaboration, will introduce a feature that allows multiple authors to collaborate and co-edit posts on a site in real time. With any luck, WordPress will also build in a proper system for attributing posts to multiple authors.
\n\n\n\nThe fourth and final phase cannot get here fast enough. As WordPress usage continues to grow around the world, it is past time that it offered a multilingual experience. “We’re going to tackle the Babel fish problem,” said Mullenweg.
\n\n\n\nAlso on the roadmap is the concept of block patterns. Patterns would be a groups of blocks that follows common patterns seen across the web. The existing Media & Text block is an example of a common pattern, but new patterns would go far beyond something so basic. By providing patterns to users, they could simply insert a pattern and fill in their details, which should make it easy to rapidly create rich content.
\n\n\n\nMullenweg’s entire presentation was done from the block editor. He used the Slides plugin created by Ella van Durpe.
\n\n\n\nThe Q&A sessions after Mullenweg’s address was more focused on community and policy.
\n\n\n\nRian Kinney asked whether we would see official policies on accessibility, ethics, conflicts of interest, and diversity. She wanted to know how the community could make this happen over the next year.
\n\n\n\nWhile a privacy policy is in the footer of WordPress.org, Mullenweg expressed his desire to not make changes than lean too heavily on policy. “That is in spite of there being a policy or not, we’ve tried to enact bigger changes in WordPress in a policy-first way in the past,” he said. “To be honest, it felt nice but didn’t always make things actually change.” He said we usually do better by working with people to make changes rather than starting with the policy.
\n\n\n\nOlivia Bisset, a young WordCamp speaker behind Lemonade Code, asked Mullenweg how we could inspire kids who are currently in school to get involved with WordPress. The project has tough competition coming from more exciting technology sectors such as robotics and other industries that are swaying the next generation.
\n\n\n\n“This is going to be on YouTube later, and boys and girls, maybe of your generation, will see you here asking a question and being a speaker at WordCamp in front of a thousand adults,” said Mullenweg. “And, you know, it’s kind of beautiful.”
\n\n\n\nMullenweg said that we need more stories from younger people on HeroPress and that Kids Camps will help. He said that WordPress should be easier and more accessible, which are things that the current generation is more aware of and care about. He also mentioned Automattic’s recent acquisition of Tumblr, which has a larger user base of young users, as a way to introduce them to WordPress.

\n\n\n\nIt\'s been the year of Gutenberg in 2019, and in his State of the Word, Matt Mullenweg highlighted what has been accomplished and what is coming next.
\n\n\n\nMatt kicked off the event with the premiere of Open: The Community Code, a film about the WordPress open source community.
\n\n\n\nOpen was really well done and made a great introduction to Matt\'s review of the year\'s achievements. In the film, Matt says that $10 billion flows through the WordPress economy every year, but that doesn\'t define the community. WordPress is more than code, more than business. Matt says, “It\'s more than a tool.” It\'s more like a canvas that “anyone can paint on.”
\n\n\n\nOpen is a film about WordPress and what WordPress really is — not just software, but people, a community, and a mission. Open is a documentary short produced by Andrew Rodriguez and directed by Sean Korbitz. Executive producers Mark Maunder and Kathy Zant of WordFence contributed to the production of Open as well, and they are submitting it to independent and documentary film festivals.
\n\n\n\nThe community continues to evolve, thrive, and adapt to the changing environment.
\n\n\n\nThe next WordCamp US will be hosted during the workweek and won\'t overlap with Halloween. This is something I\'m personally thankful for, as it opens up the weekend for family. Many people, including me, got to the conference late this year due to spending the holiday trick-or-treating with family.
\n\n\n\nWCUS was made possible by 47 organizers, 122 volunteers, and 90 speakers. Bluehost, WooCommerce, Jetpack, and Google are this year\'s lead sponsors. Thank you to everyone!
\n\n\n\nThere have been more than 5,000 WordCamp events and several do_action WordPress community events as well.
\n\n\n\nOne HeroPress story per month is now being featured on the WordPress blog.
\n\n\n\nMatt honored Alex Mills, a prolific early and long-time contributor to WordPress who passed away in 2015.
\n\n\n\nThere will be a total of 141 WordCamps in 2019, including 34 in brand new cities. There are also 17 KidsCamps happening in 2019.
\n\n\n\nThis year there are at least four WordCamp US speakers under age 15, which makes them younger than WordPress itself.
\n\n\n\nIn 2020, the first WordCamp Asia is happening in February, in Bangkok, Thailand. WordCamp Europe will convene in Porto, Portugal.
\n\n\n\nWordPress 5.0 was released just before WCUS began in Nashville last year, a contentious decision on timing in itself. 2018 was what Matt calls a “controversial year,” where we wanted to “disrupt ourselves.” Gutenberg was included in core despite a lot of criticism in and outside of the community about this decision. Matt says we learned a lot from the process, and it was “really good practice for future changes we want to make.”
\n\n\n\nHe also added, “I understand why we had a lot of this feedback,” and he expressed excitement for WordPress\'s future.
\n\n\n\nMatt highlighted several ways to get involved in the WordPress community today:
\n\n\n\nWhen Matt says why we do all this, he says it\'s to “help the open web.” He says the open web is like a pendulum that can swing to being more closed or more open over time.
\n\n\n\nThere\'s now a dedicated landing page for Five for the Future to highlight people and organizations devoting 5% of their resources to WordPress development through this program.
\n\n\n\nThere have been two core releases in 2019. WordPress 5.1, “Betty,” brought the “Site Health” screen, along with other feature adjustments and bug fixes. It also included the Cron API and Site Meta for Multisite.
\n\n\n\nWordPress 5.2, “Jaco,” included live block previews, better block management, and the end of the WSOD (White Screen of Death).
\n\n\n\nWordPress 5.3 will be released on November 12th. It includes more than 150 block editor improvements. Also in 5.3 is the beautiful Twenty Twenty theme. And thanks to a new security feature, every six months or so, WordPress will send administrator email verifications to help ensure site admins are staying up to date.
\n\n\n\nThe minimum PHP version requirement for WordPress is now 5.6.20, which ended support for 5.2 and 5.3. Compatibility is now up to PHP 7.4. More than 80% of all WordPress sites are now on PHP 7 or higher. Matt highlighted the still-urgent need to improve update mechanisms and strategies with webhosts and site owners.
\n\n\n\nWe are currently at 1,122 total unique contributors to WordPress this year. WordPress 5.3 will have more than a hundred contributors than any release before.
\n\n\n\nThere have been more than 20 major Gutenberg releases, and the number of Gutenberg contributors is up to 480 from 200 a year ago. Matt says the number of sites using Gutenberg is up more than 2.7 times, and we just surpassed 50 million posts created in Gutenberg. Gutenberg-based posts are increasing at a rate of about 270,000 posts per day as tracked by Jetpack, so that\'s a conservative estimate.
\n\n\n\nIn last year\'s State of the Word question and answer session, someone asked what percentage of Gutenberg was complete, and Matt answered “10%.” A year later he says he thinks it\'s about 20% complete. He also highlighted how it\'s an ongoing process that he expects to take a decade to bring to fruition everything he envisions.
\n\n\n\nThere are a lot of improvements happening:
\n\n\n\nOther Gutenberg features in the works:
\n\n\n\nMatt recognizes that we\'ll have thousands of blocks created for Gutenberg, and there will be a block directory which will load inside the Gutenberg editor. Patterns will be collections of blocks that people can install in bulk.
\n\n\n\nMatt says he thinks people will be able to create just about any type of website layout in just a few clicks when Gutenberg is mature.
\n\n\n\nSeveral use cases of Gutenberg were highlighted in Matt\'s talk, from newsletter editors to WordCamps, newsrooms, Microsoft Word converters, and more.
\n\n\n\nMatt continues to highlight the four phases of Gutenberg development and where we are now.
\n\n\n\nMatt\'s slides for the State of the Word were actually built with Gutenberg.
\n\n\n\nThe code for the presentation is on Github for anyone to use.
\n\n\n\nIt\'s been an interesting and challenging year for WordPress. With that observation, Matt opened up the question period.
\n\n\n\nHere\'s the complete video:

BoldGrid acquired the W3TC plugin and retained its creator, Frederick Townes, along with its development and support staff. The two teams will operate as sister companies but jointly work on the plugin’s future roadmap.
\n\n\n\n“There are some things a larger team can accomplish for Total Cache that we are targeting right now,” said Brad Markle, development manager at BoldGrid. “After a few more releases of core Total Cache features, the TC team is slated to help accelerate our CRIO Theme Framework on the BoldGrid side.”
\n\n\n\nBoldGrid has a range of plugins, themes, and services for WordPress sites. The company offers plugins like its post and page builder, themes such as its “super theme” CRIO, and services like testing and performance coaching.
\n\n\n\nW3 Edge’s primary product is its W3TC plugin, which serves as the caching solution for over one million WordPress installs. It is one of the most-used caching plugins available in the official WordPress plugin directory.
\n\n\n\nMany competing caching plugins have been gaining considerable exposure in the past few years. Some of those are free. Others, such as WP Rocket, have captured large segments of the premium market. Managed WordPress hosts also generally offer built-in caching solutions as part of their strategy to build their customer numbers. The question is whether this move will provide growth for W3TC and any related products or services.
\n\n\n\nThe BoldGrid team has plans to continue developing the W3TC plugin. “Since joining with the awesome team at W3, we have been working to add in some slick new features like Caching Statistics and Lazy Loading,” said Harry Jackson, product manager at BoldGrid.
\n\n\n\n“We are also looking to partner with theme and plugin developers to ensure the widest range of compatibility for the product, and the WordPress Community,” said Jackson. It is unclear what such partnerships would entail and the type of compatibility needed from third-party developers. The BoldGrid team did not provide further details.
\n\n\n\nFor some users, the W3TC interface and options can be overwhelming. “User Experience is at the top of the list of things we are working on,” said Sash Ghosh, BoldGrid’s marketing manager. “It can be challenging for some users to fully understand and utilize all the powerful features. We will soon be adding an on-boarding and configuration guide to the plugin that will hopefully make the plugin accessible to more users.”
\n\n\n\nDespite setbacks in 2016, the W3TC plugin has maintained over one million active installs over the past three years. In March of that year, there was concern that the plugin was abandoned after no activity for seven months. The plugin was not working for many users on the latest version of WordPress.
\n\n\n\nMuch of the issue seemed to stem from not yet knowing how to scale such a popular product with a small team.
\n\n\n\nLater in September of 2016, a high-risk XSS vulnerability was discovered with the plugin. The plugin developer patched the plugin quickly. However, the updated versions introduced new bugs and a poor experience for many users.
\n\n\n\nWhile things seem to have been running more smoothly in recent years, there is still some level of distrust within the inner WordPress community. When asked how they are prepared to address past issues and assure they are looking out for the best interests of users in the future, the BoldGrid team said that security is a top priority. They also expressed their openness to community feedback for improvement.
\n\n\n\n“As with all big plugins, there are challenges with functionality, features, and security,” said Jackson. “With a bigger team and additional Quality Assurance resources we feel that Total Cache will continue to improve in all the major areas. We have also introduced a public pull request process to facilitate additional feedback and bug fixes. Though you can’t ever guarantee security, our team is very committed and respects our responsibilities to our million-plus users.”

The idea behind DSKO was to solve the issue of discoverability for creators and brands across various networks and websites by consolidating everything into a single space.
\n\n\n\nThe website offers an easy signup process. DSKO currently features 220 profiles, but that number is sure to grow. For now, the site is purely about discovering creators and finding out how to contact or follow them through website or social media links.
\n\n\n\nThe site allows profile creators to set up a bio, image, and even video, such as the one seen on the ArtSnacks profile. It will be interesting to see how people use this new WordPress-based site as a branding tool.
\n\n\n\n“I’ve been asked what the incentive is to re-visit DSKO after you’ve created a profile,” said Schuller in a Twitter update. “I have features (some nearly finished) in the works which will make that crystal clear.”
\n\n\n\nSchuller has been active within the WordPress community for over a decade. He originally launched Press75, a WordPress theme shop, in 2008 with a focus on video-centric themes. Like several others in the theme business at that time, he had the fortune of good timing. From 2008 through the next couple of years, theme companies enjoyed little competition and a wide-open market for exploration. However, business growth plateaued after a while.
\n\n\n\n“I quickly realized that my perception of how to properly launch and scale a project had been skewed by my experience with my WordPress theme business,” wrote Schuller in a history of his theme business. “With Press75, I just built it and they came — a strategy that surprisingly doesn’t work so well the majority of the time for new ventures.”
\n\n\n\nUnable to duplicate his early success and unhappiness with the direction of WordPress theming, he sold Press75 in 2014. Since then, he has moved onto new ventures such as Leeflets, a single-page website creator on top of WordPress.
\n\n\n\n“There seems to be growing interest in minimalist single-page website solutions for simple profiles (e.g. Carrd.co, Linktr.ee, etc),” said Schuller. “After building [Leeflets] last year, it occurred to me that while all of these options are great for creating an individual site/page, none of them enable the people and brands who are using them to be discovered beyond organic search via Google or sharing a URL across various other networks. My goal was to see if I could solve that by creating a discovery network for people and brands.”
\n\n\n\nThe inspiration behind DSKO came from projects like existing single-page website builders. Schuller said the grid design and navigation were inspired by the image-sharing site Unsplash while Twitter inspired the profiles. “I wanted it to be extremely quick and easy to browse, find and consume profiles,” said Schuller.
\n\n\n\nWhile borrowing concepts from popular projects already in the wild, he wanted to put his spin on them. One interesting custom feature is the ability to connect profiles on the DSKO site to other profiles. For example, a person (creator) can connect his or her profile to a separate brand profile. This helps with the discoverability aspect by allowing visitors to browse connected profiles.
\n\n\n\nDSKO is a completely front-end interface built on top of WordPress and shows what can be done without sending users to the WordPress backend.
\n\n\n\n“Essentially, DSKO boils down to users, profiles, categories, and tags which makes WordPress the perfect framework,” said Schuller. “The functionality was there, I just needed to create a custom front-end experience to manage it all. Most of my recent projects have utilized WordPress this way, and every time I make something new, I borrow aspects from the previous project.” This allows Schuller to bring a project from the concept stage to production more quickly.
\n\n\n\nThe only third-party plugin running on the site is Admin Columns Pro, which makes it easier for Schuller to manage users and content based on custom fields.
\n\n\n\nFor those who create a profile on DSKO, one uncommon feature is that there is no password field. Instead, the site provides a “magic” login link. “Essentially, by removing the concept of a password, I’ve simplified the onboarding process and am validating a real email address (ensuring a real user) at the same time.”
\n\n\n\nThe system generates a unique login token when the user creates a new account. The token is sent as a link to the user email address. The link is used to log into the site. When a session expires or a user logs out, users can get a new link by re-entering their email address.
\n\n\n\nCurrently, the code behind the site is not available to the public. However, Schuller did say that he would consider opening up the platform in the future. Starting from a more mature codebase could help other developers in the WordPress space build interesting projects where similar features are needed.
\n\n\n\nSchuller is currently on contract with 10up. He primarily works with them on the Microsoft In Culture project. “[It] has been an amazing project to be a part of,” said Schuller. Because the contract is only part-time work, it leaves him enough creative freedom to experiment with ideas like DSKO.
\n\n\n\nAnother creative pursuit is an upcoming WordPress plugin that he’s building along with Phil Kurth. It will allow site owners to map custom domains to any post or page on a single WordPress install. The idea was inspired by his work with Leeflets. “It’s going to be the first WordPress product I’ve been a part of since I sold my theme business in 2014.”

In that time, one thing has become abundantly clear. The largest companies in the WordPress ecosystem send out press releases to news organizations such as WP Tavern. Small businesses may send an email with few details. Others send nothing at all.
\n\n\n\nAs a former business owner, I never thought about writing a statement to send to the press. Now that I am on the other side, I see how I missed huge opportunities to potentially get more coverage and build a relationship with the publications within the WordPress arena.
\n\n\n\nBrian Krogsgard of Post Status, a competing publication of WP Tavern, agrees that companies are missing opportunities. “There are many easy wins in PR that only a few companies take advantage of in our space,” said Krogsgard.
\n\n\n\nAs a journalist, I am here to tell the truth, regardless of who or what the story is about. However, there will always be a part of me that wants to see every businesses within the WordPress space succeed. Therefore, this article is a tutorial that will help businesses within our space get their news items out to the public. Plus, the larger and more successful the WordPress community grows, the more potential WP Tavern has of growing its audience. It is healthy for the ecosystem on the whole.
\n\n\n\nBecause of this symbiotic relationship between the media and product creators, it is important that business owners have a good working relationship with the publications that are writing about them.
\n\n\n\nA press release is sometimes called a “press statement” or “news release.” It is an official statement from a company about a particular news item. In a sense, it is a news story itself. There are some publications in the larger world of journalism that routinely publish only the press releases sent to them.
\n\n\n\nA press release can be in the form of an email, text file, PDF, or even video. Its purpose is to simply let the press know about your news.
\n\n\n\nOn occasion, I get a message that says something along the lines of, “Hey, you’re giving the big businesses too much coverage. How about throwing the smaller folks a bone?” That is a fair question. However, what is often the problem is that this news by a smaller company may not be on a particular publication’s radar.
\n\n\n\nEnter the press release.
\n\n\n\nThis is where smaller companies should sneak a peek at larger companies’ playbooks. Large businesses often have entire public relations (PR) or communications departments. Sometimes they only have one person in that role. What those PR positions are doing is getting the word out, and they are making sure the publications within the WordPress realm know about their news.
\n\n\n\nIndividuals or small companies need not hire someone for communications with the press. However, at least one person should serve as a representative and handle this role.
\n\n\n\nThere are many things happening in the WordPress world on any given day. Even with a press release, there is no guarantee that WP Tavern or another publication will publish your story. There is a guarantee that they won’t if they do not know about it.
\n\n\n\nA press release is a way to get your foot in the door and should be a part of any company’s strategy.
\n\n\n\n“I definitely prefer press packets for product launches, particularly if I can see the key features ahead of time,” said Krogsgard. “Press releases at the time of a news event is fine, but the best company PR is usually done by working with media outlets ahead of a release schedule.”
\n\n\n\nWhether your news is covered will depend on several factors. The important thing, particularly for smaller businesses, is that you put yourself on a publication’s radar.
\n\n\n\nThe team here at WP Tavern will certainly appreciate your company passing along a press release, but do not limit yourself. Send it to other publications. Give podcast creators a copy. Most will be accepting of any news you send their way.
\n\n\n\nPress releases can take a few different forms, but there are some things that should be included with every statement that a business issues.
\n\n\n\nThe following is an outline of a basic press release. You can deviate from the formula a bit, but make sure you include the important information.
\n\n\n\nJournalists need to know how to get in touch with you or the appropriate representative for your company for potential follow-up questions. In the WordPress world, this will primarily be a name and email address. However, including something like your WordPress Slack username for text chats helps.
\n\n\n\nMost of all, you should provide the best way to contact you.
\n\n\n\nThis also means being prepared to answer questions if and when you are contacted. Quotes are like gold to journalists. It is often the human element that we are after. The press release opens the door to a conversation.
\n\n\n\nJournalists get a lot of emails, notes, and so on. A press release should contain a headline that is both factual and grabs attention. It should be a brief summary of what news you want to share. It is no different than writing a blog post. In our fast-paced culture, you only have a moment to let someone know that your story is worth reading. Avoid headlines that look like click-bait, but tell why your news is newsworthy.
\n\n\n\nDepending on the news, a sub-headline is often an extra piece of info that helps. A quick sentence or two that expands on the headline is sometimes necessary to fully explain why the press should continue reading.
\n\n\n\nA press release should always include a dateline. There are two types of datelines. The first type is the date of the press release. This means journalists can move forward with the story.
\n\n\n\nHowever, you can also put a future date in the dateline. This is common when you want to prepare publications for an upcoming story that you don’t want to publicly announce yet. This is called requesting a news embargo, which means that publications should sit on the story until that particular date.
\n\n\n\nA lede is the opening paragraph of a story that answers the five W’s: who, what, when, where, and why. This is the moment you should let journalists know what the story is about. Get to the point in answering those five questions.
\n\n\n\nAfter introducing the story, you should stick to relevant information about the story. Any data or details that are important for the story should be included.
\n\n\n\n“Another thing that’s really helpful is screenshots, or short video overviews, and other brand assets that can provide visual appeal to go alongside a story,” said Krogsgard of writing a compelling press statement. “Do you have a revamped interface? Well nicely packaged visual materials really help sell that to convince me that it’s worth covering — and also to use in the article myself if I do write about it.”
\n\n\n\nLast but certainly not least is including a section that provides details about your company. Consider it a short biography.
\n\n\n\nOne of the worst things for a journalist covering a story is spending hours trying to dig up your company’s information online instead of working on the story. Providing that information up front is a huge help to the press. It also ensures we are getting your information correct.

Gapher is an RF and Microwave Circuit Simulation Software with two simulation engines, a Scattering Parameter (S parameter) frequency domain simulation and a Finite Difference Time Domain mode (FDTD) all in one seamless package.
It calculates the dimensions of transmission lines, coupled transmission lines and radial stubs.
These are then placed on the Window as the copper tracks on the printed circuit board. The circuit is then simulated using one of two simulation modes.
In the Scattering mode the circuit is simulated using Scattering Parameters. This is a quick way of getting the frequency response of the Scattering parameters and matching components.
In the Finite Difference Time Domain mode, which is a time domain method, the circuit is simulated using Maxwell’s Equations and the simulation takes longer.
Lumped components, i.e. resistors, capacitor, inductor and devices with Touchstone formatted data, are simulated in the S parameter mode. Devices are not simulated in the FDTD mode.
The circuit can then either be printed on an ordinary printer onto paper or transparency as a mask for photo etching or be exported in Gerber into other printed circuit board software for addition into other circuits.

Designing a transistor amplifier to work at RF or microwave frequencies requires that its input and output impedance\'s are matched at the desired frequency. Using Gapher these impedance\'s are matched using either lumped or micro-strip lines. It is then up to the designer to add the biasing network for the transistor.

\n\n\n\nGapher is an RF and Microwave Circuit Simulation Software with two simulation engines, a Scattering Parameter (S parameter) frequency domain simulation and a Finite Difference Time Domain mode (FDTD) all in one seamless package.
It calculates the dimensions of transmission lines, coupled transmission lines and radial stubs.
These are then placed on the Window as the copper tracks on the printed circuit board. The circuit is then simulated using one of two simulation modes.
In the Scattering mode the circuit is simulated using Scattering Parameters. This is a quick way of getting the frequency response of the Scattering parameters and matching components.
In the Finite Difference Time Domain mode, which is a time domain method, the circuit is simulated using Maxwell’s Equations and the simulation takes longer.
Lumped components, i.e. resistors, capacitor, inductor and devices with Touchstone formatted data, are simulated in the S parameter mode. Devices are not simulated in the FDTD mode.
The circuit can then either be printed on an ordinary printer onto paper or transparency as a mask for photo etching or be exported in Gerber into other printed circuit board software for addition into other circuits.
