This is a noteworthy occasion for an open-source project like WordPress and one well worth celebrating. To mark the occasion, <a href=\"https://wp15.wordpress.net/\">WordPress communities across the world gathered</a> for parties and meetups in honor of the milestone.</p>\n\n<p>Altogether, there were 224 events globally, with <a href=\"https://wp15.wordpress.net/about/\">a few more of those still scheduled</a> to take place in some communities — attend one in your area if you can.</p>\n\n<p>If your city doesn’t have a WordPress meetup group, this is a great opportunity to start one!

It is worth noting, however, that WordPress cannot ensure you are compliant — this is still a site owner’s responsibility.</p>\n\n<p>The new privacy tools include a number of features focused on providing privacy and personal data management to all site users — asking commenters for explicit consent to store their details in a cookie, providing site owners with an easy way to publish a Privacy Policy, and providing data export and erasure tools to all site users that can be extended by plugins to allow the handling of data that they introduce.</p>\n\n<p>To find out more about these features and the other updates, read the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/05/17/4-9-6-update-guide/\">4.9.6 update guide</a>. You can also get involved in contributing to this part of WordPress Core by jumping into the #core-privacy channel in the<a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/chat/\"> Making WordPress Slack group</a>, and following<a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/\"> the Core team blog</a>.</p>\n\n<h2>Updates to the WordPress.org Privacy Policy</h2>\n\n<p>In a similar vein, WordPress.org itself has received <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/\">an updated Privacy Policy</a> to make clear what is being tracked and how your data is handled. Along with that, a <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/cookies/\">Cookie Policy</a> has also been added to explain just what is collected and stored in your browser when using the site.</p>\n\n<p>These policies cover all sites on the WordPress.org network — including WordPress.org, WordPress.net, WordCamp.org, BuddyPress.org, bbPress.org, and other related domains and subdomains. It’s important to note that this does not mean that anything has changed in terms of data storage; rather that these documents clarify what data is stored and how it is handled.</p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" />\n\n<h2>Further Reading:</h2>\n\n<ul>\n	<li>WordCamp US 2018 has <a href=\"https://2018.us.wordcamp.org/2018/05/29/speak-at-wordcamp-us/\">opened up speaker submissions</a> for the December event.</li>\n	<li><a href=\"https://2018.europe.wordcamp.org/2018/05/15/wceu-live-stream-tickets/\">Live stream tickets are now available for WordCamp Europe</a>, happening on June 14-16.</li>\n	<li>Gutenberg, the new editor for WordPress Core, is getting ever closer to the final stages with <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/05/18/whats-new-in-gutenberg-18th-may/\">a major update</a> this month.</li>\n	<li>In preparation for Gutenberg, <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/43309\">significant work has been done</a> to improve WordPress Core’s build process.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p><em>If you have a story we should consider including in the next “Month in WordPress” post, please <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/month-in-wordpress-submissions/\">submit it here</a>.</em></p>\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:30:\"com-wordpress:feed-additions:1\";a:1:{s:7:\"post-id\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4:\"6065\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:7;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:51:\"\n		\n		\n				\n		\n				\n		\n\n		\n				\n								\n										\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:4:{s:0:\"\";a:6:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:36:\"WordPress.org Privacy Policy Updates\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:72:\"https://wordpress.org/news/2018/05/wordpress-org-privacy-policy-updates/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 25 May 2018 08:06:29 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"category\";a:2:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:7:\"General\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}i:1;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:7:\"privacy\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:34:\"https://wordpress.org/news/?p=6047\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:1:{s:0:\"\";a:1:{s:11:\"isPermaLink\";s:5:\"false\";}}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:325:\"The WordPress.org privacy policy has been updated, hurray!

The Community Team has been hard at work helping communities around the world plan local anniversary parties.</p>\n\n<p>Check <a href=\"https://wp15.wordpress.net/\">the central anniversary website</a> to see if there’s already a party being planned near you. These parties are all organized by local communities — if there’s no local community in your area, you can <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/handbook/meetup-organizer/welcome/#starting-a-new-meetup-com-group\">start one today</a> and host a party yourself.</p>\n\n<h2>Work has Started on a Gutenberg Migration Guide</h2>\n\n<p>With Gutenberg, the upcoming WordPress content editor, in rapid development, a lot of people have been wondering how they will convert their existing plugins to work with the new features. To mitigate the issues here and help people overcome any migration hurdles, <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/04/26/your-help-wanted-gutenberg-migration-guide/\">a Gutenberg Migration Guide is underway</a> to assist developers with making their code Gutenberg-compatible.</p>\n\n<p>If you’d like to contribute to this guide, you can review <a href=\"https://github.com/danielbachhuber/gutenberg-migration-guide\">the existing documentation on GitHub</a> and <a href=\"https://github.com/danielbachhuber/gutenberg-migration-guide/issues\">open a new issue</a> if you find something to add.</p>\n\n<h2>Theme Review Team Launches Trusted Authors Program</h2>\n\n<p>Reviews of themes submitted to the Theme Directory can take quite a while to complete. In order to combat this issue and to make the theme submission process smoother for everyone, <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/themes/2018/04/30/trusted-authors-program/\">the Theme Review Team is introducing a Trusted Authors Program</a>.</p>\n\n<p>This program will allow frequent and reliable theme authors to apply for trusted status, allowing them to upload themes more frequently and to have their themes automatically approved. This will allow more high-quality themes to be added to the directory, as well as recognize the hard work that authors put in to build their themes.</p>\n\n<p>If you would like to get involved with reviewing themes, you can read <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/get-involved/become-a-reviewer/\">their getting started guide</a>, follow the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/themes/\">team blog</a> and join the #themereview channel in the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/chat/\">Making WordPress Slack group</a>.</p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" />\n\n<h2>Further Reading:</h2>\n\n<ul>\n    <li><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2018/04/wordpress-4-9-5-security-and-maintenance-release/\">WordPress 4.9.5 was released</a> early this month, fixing numerous bugs and potential security issues.

In that time, there have been sixteen releases. The more I use Gutenberg, the more nuances I encounter.</p>\n\n<h3>Disruptive Writing Flow</h3>\n\n<p>When writing a post, I press the enter key at the end of a paragraph. This creates a new paragraph block automatically. Sometimes however, I want the next block to be an Image block. The paragraph block does not have an option to be converted into another block.</p>\n\n<img />No Option to Convert to Another Block\n\n<p>I end up having to remove the paragraph block, look for the add block icon, and add the image block. This process of rearranging blocks disrupts the flow of writing. </p>\n\n<p>There are a few ways to get around this issue. The first is to not press enter at the end of a paragraph so I can add the block that I want. </p>\n\n<p>The second is to type /image inside the paragraph block which will automatically convert it to an image block. This is convenient but it&#8217;s a power user shortcut that&#8217;s difficult to discover without someone telling you about it. It&#8217;s weird that using a shortcut can convert a paragraph block to an image block but the user interface option to convert it doesn&#8217;t exist.</p>\n\n<h3>Icons Not Associated With a Block Floating in Empty Space<br /></h3>\n\n<p>In the image below is a CloudUp embed block that has a video and below it are three icons. I sometimes think these icons are related to the block above it but instead, these icons are part of the add block placeholder UI. </p>\n\n<img />Block Icons Look Like They&#8217;re For Another Block\n\n<p>Granted, a list, image, and quote icon has nothing to do with embedding videos. At-a-glance, seeing these icons can lead to a bit of confusion. I don&#8217;t want to see those icons floating in empty space when I&#8217;m working on a block they&#8217;re not attached too. <br /></p>\n\n<h3>Losing Content Due to Autosave Disconnecting<br /></h3>\n\n<p>While writing a post working remotely, I noticed the Autosave button in Gutenberg was continuously flashing. I&#8217;ve experienced something similar in the classic editor and suspected that a connection issue must have happened although I was browsing the internet without a problem.</p>\n\n<p>I finished writing the post, added meta data, and a featured image. I copied all of the content on the post, refreshed the page, and confirmed I wanted to leave the page. It turns out, my suspicion was right. </p>\n\n<p>At some point, the autosave process stopped working and I lost half the post, including the meta data. I was able to paste the lost content into the editor and go about my day. </p>\n\n<p>The current editor has fail-safes in place to prevent the loss of content, such as using a browser&#8217;s local storage. I&#8217;m unsure if Gutenberg has the same fail-safes in place. So far, this has been the only time where I&#8217;ve lost content in Gutenberg due to autosave not working correctly. </p>\n\n<h3>Digging Through the Junk Drawer</h3>\n\n<p>In the classic editor, the tool bar stays in constant view. In Gutenberg, there are multiple areas on the screen where UI elements appear and disappear depending on where the cursor is. </p>\n\n<p>If you want to see the code version of the editor, you need to click the ellipsis on the top right corner and select it from a drop-down menu. To add a new block, you have to click the + symbol and either search or select from a menu. </p>\n\n<p>The combination of visiting different parts of the editor, browsing through menus, and selecting from multiple things sometimes feels like I&#8217;m going through the junk drawer in the kitchen looking for a utensil. This feeling occurs multiple times depending on the length of a post. </p>\n\n<h3>There&#8217;s Still a Ways to Go</h3>\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve been able to get used to the block concept and actually prefer it over the classic editor. However, there are certain tasks that are easier and faster to accomplish in the classic editor versus Gutenberg. </p>\n\n<p>For example, if you want to create a heading using existing text in Gutenberg, you have to select the text, click the Paragraph icon, select the heading block, and choose which heading you want. In the Classic editor, you select the text, click the preferred heading from an always visible drop-down menu and continue writing. </p>\n\n<p>These nuances to the writing flow, the user interface, and the experience of looking around for things is where I believe Gutenberg needs the most improvement. The bar has been set by the Classic editor but it has more than 10 years of iteration behind it. Hopefully, Gutenberg can reach or exceed that bar before it&#8217;s merged into core. <br /></p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 17 Aug 2018 22:32:58 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:1;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:58:\"WPTavern: Gutenberg 3.6 Adds New Icons for All Core Blocks\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=83242\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:69:\"https://wptavern.com/gutenberg-3-6-adds-new-icons-for-all-core-blocks\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:5014:\"<p><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/08/17/whats-new-in-gutenberg-17th-august/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Gutenberg 3.6</a> was released today, featuring a <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/8916\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">design overhaul for the core icons</a> in the block inserter. The blocks now use <a href=\"https://material.io/tools/icons/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Material icons</a>, which offer more options than the Dashicons. This update also improves the icons for the core embeds, which now display the corresponding icon for each embed service.</p>\n<p>Gutenberg testers <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/3736\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">logged an issue</a> regarding the limitations of Dashicons last year, citing the small number available, the inadequacy of their size, and the generic substitutions for embed service icons. The Gutenberg team <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/3736#issuecomment-355267596\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">closed the ticket</a>, saying there was no sign in testing that showed the icons to be a problem and that potential contributors would need to &#8220;revisit with evidence&#8221; if they wanted to re-open the issue.</p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not clear whether the team received the evidence or testing required to make this change but the icons become problematic in other ways. As the community started extending Gutenberg, block icon duplication became a problem, due to the limited number of Dashicons available.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We really need block icons to move away from using dashicons as soon as possible,&#8221; Gutenberg technical lead Matías Ventura said in another discussion on a proposed solution. &#8220;We are already seeing plugins adding blocks where the icon overlap is very high just because of the limited icons set, which reduces clarity for users very drastically.&#8221;</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/8719\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Switching to Material icons</a> solves this problem, ensuring there are unique icons for each block. The inserter design has also been updated as part of this overhaul. Previously, icons appeared with a grey background, as seen below:</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Screen-Shot-2018-08-17-at-12.51.51-PM.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>The old design suddenly looks rather dated in comparison to Gutenberg&#8217;s 3.6 update, which allows for more whitespace around the icons:</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Screen-Shot-2018-08-17-at-12.53.39-PM.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>The new embed icons are also greatly improved from previous versions of the plugin:</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Screen-Shot-2018-08-17-at-4.09.01-PM.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>&#8220;The new icons aim to encourage people creating their own blocks to supply their own SVG,&#8221; Ventura said. &#8220;The hope is to make sure we can avoid multiple cases of duplicated icons diminishing the overall ability to quickly scan blocks.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Ventura said Gutenberg will retain the ability to specify a Dashicon slug in the Block API but he encourages developers to &#8220;supply custom SVGs (or draw from the material icon pool) as much as possible.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Gutenberg 3.6 also <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/8279\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">adds several new keyboard shortcuts</a>, including inserting a new block before/after the current block, toggling the inspector settings, removing a block, and displaying a <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/8316\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">new modal help menu</a>. The modal can be launched from the Settings button at the top of the editor and users can scroll through all available shortcuts.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Screen-Shot-2018-08-17-at-4.16.53-PM.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>This release also fixes many bugs that users have reported. Gutenberg will now <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/8446\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">open a new preview window</a> if the prior window has been closed. It will also <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/9015\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">bring the preview tab to the front</a> when clicking the preview button. Version 3.6 <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/9010\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">fixes several usability issues</a> that testers found with the permalink UI.

In the past a file had to be placed in the &#8220;WP Super Cache plugins directory&#8221; so that it would be loaded correctly but in this release I&#8217;ve added new actions that will allow you to load code from other directories too.</p>\n\n<p>Use the <strong>wpsc_add_plugin</strong> action to add your plugin to a list loaded by WP Super Cache. Use it like this:<br /></p>\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">do_action( \'wpsc_add_plugin\', WP_PLUGIN_DIR . \'/wpsc.php\' )</pre>\n\n<p>You can give it the full path, with or without ABSPATH. Use it after &#8220;init&#8221;. It only needs to be called once, but duplicates will not be stored.</p>\n\n<p>In a similar fashion, use <strong>wpsc_delete_plugin</strong> to remove a plugin.</p>\n\n<p>The release also makes it much simpler to modify the cookies used by WP Super Cache to identify &#8220;known users&#8221;. This is useful to identify particular types of pages such as translated pages that should only be shown to certain users. For example, visitors who have the English cookie will be shown cached pages in English. The German cookie will fetch German cached pages. The action <strong>wpsc_add_cookie</strong> makes this possible.</p>\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">do_action( \'wpsc_add_cookie\', \'language\' );</pre>\n\n<p>Execute that in your plugin and WP Super Cache will watch out for the language cookie. The plugin will use the cookie name <em>and</em> value in determining what cached page to display. So &#8220;language = irish&#8221; will show a different page to &#8220;language = french&#8221;.</p>\n\n<p>Use <strong>wpsc_delete_cookie</strong> to remove a cookie. Cache files won&#8217;t be deleted. It&#8217;s doubtful they&#8217;d be served however because of the hashed key used to name the filenames.<br /></p>\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">do_action( \'wpsc_delete_cookie\', \'language\' );</pre>\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re going to use either of the plugin or cookie actions here I recommend using <strong>Simple Caching</strong>. While the plugin will attempt to update mod_rewrite rules, it is much simpler to have PHP serve the files. Apart from that, any plugins loaded by WP Super Cache will be completely skipped if Expert mode is enabled.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Related Posts</strong><ul><li> <a href=\"https://odd.blog/2008/10/24/wp-super-cache-084-the-garbage-collector/\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Permanent Link: WP Super Cache 0.8.4, the garbage collector\">WP Super Cache 0.8.4, the garbage collector</a></li><li> <a href=\"https://odd.blog/2009/01/09/wp-super-cache-087/\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Permanent Link: WP Super Cache 0.8.7\">WP Super Cache 0.8.7</a></li><li> <a href=\"https://odd.blog/2010/02/08/wp-super-cache-099/\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Permanent Link: WP Super Cache 0.9.9\">WP Super Cache 0.9.9</a></li></ul></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://odd.blog/2018/08/17/wp-super-cache-1-6-3/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Source</a></p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 17 Aug 2018 16:36:51 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:7:\"Donncha\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:3;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:66:\"WPTavern: WordPress for iOS 10.6 Adds A Detailed Site Activity Log\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=83231\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:77:\"https://wptavern.com/wordpress-for-ios-10-6-adds-a-detailed-site-activity-log\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3569:\"<p>In the past few months, the <a href=\"https://apps.wordpress.com/mobile/\">WordPress mobile application</a> for iOS has quietly received a steady round of improvements. Version 10.5 increased its compatibility with Gutenberg. <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wordpress-for-ios-and-gutenberg-dont-get-along\">Earlier this year</a>, Gutenberg and the iOS app didn&#8217;t get along particularly well. </p>\n\n<p>About a month ago in 10.4, an activity log was added that allows users to see a detailed list of activities on their sites. In 10.6, the most recent version, the activity log is now available for free WordPress.com sites and those connected with Jetpack.</p>\n\n<img />WordPress for iOS Activity Log\n\n<p>As you can see in the screenshot above, comment activity, post and page activity, and generally all site activity shows up in the log. </p>\n\n<p>Selecting an activity displays detailed information such as who performed the action, their role, IP address, and other information depending on the activity. The log displays the last 20 activities performed on the site.</p>\n\n<p>It&#8217;s unclear exactly what data the activity log monitors, where or if it&#8217;s saved, how it&#8217;s generated, and how users can turn it off. Browsing around the mobile app, I was unable to find a way to disable the activity log.</p>\n\n<h2>The WordPress Mobile Team is Quiet But Busy</h2>\n\n<p>If it weren&#8217;t for the change logs on the iTunes Store, it would be difficult for users to know what&#8217;s going on with the app. The project&#8217;s <a href=\"https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-iOS\">GitHub page</a> is buzzing with activity, but more public facing means of communication are not. <br /></p>\n\n<p>The WordPress for iOS app <a href=\"https://twitter.com/wordpressios?lang=en\">Twitter account</a> has been dormant since May. The <a href=\"https://apps.wordpress.com/blog/\">WordPress Mobile apps blog</a> hasn&#8217;t published a new post since 2016 and some of the posts that highlight new features are on the official <a href=\"https://en.blog.wordpress.com/\">WordPress.com blog</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Sure, not every release requires a full-featured post, but the activity log is a feature that I think warrants one. An explanation of why it was created, how it works, and how users not interested in it can disable it. </p>\n\n<p>The WordPress for iOS app is <a href=\"https://apps.wordpress.com/contribute/\">open source</a> and available for free from the <a href=\"https://search.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZContentLink.woa/wa/link?mt=8&path=apps%2fWordPress\">Apple iTunes App Store</a>. You can also find links to the Android and Desktop apps on the <a href=\"https://apps.wordpress.com/\">WordPress.com Apps site</a>. </p>\n\n<h2>*Update*</h2>\n\n<p>After this article was published, I was given a <a href=\"https://jetpack.com/support/activity-log/\">link to a support document</a> on the Jetpack website that explains the activity log feature in more detail. The document <a href=\"https://jetpack.com/support/activity-log/#data-retention\">links to a list of activities</a> along with their retention periods which vary based on the plan attached to the user&#8217;s WordPress.com account. </p>\n\n<p>Only the most recent 1,000 events are displayed in the log.

The New York Times published an article titled &#8220;<a href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/13/business/media/sandy-hook-conspiracies-leonard-pozner.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">This Company Keeps Lies About Sandy Hook on the Web</a>,&#8221; setting off a hailstorm of angry posts on social media that demanded Automattic take action.</p>\n<p>“Posting conspiracy theories or untrue content is not banned from WordPress.com, and unfortunately this is one of those situations,” Automattic told the New York Times in a statement. “It is a truly awful situation, and we are sympathetic to the Pozner family.”</p>\n<p>Leonard Pozner, father of Sandy Hook Elementary shooting victim Noah Pozner, claims that images of his son were being misused on a WordPress.com-hosted site where the author denied the tragedy and called his son a crisis actor. He filed copyright infringement claims on the images used on the conspiracy site in an attempt to get the content removed.</p>\n<p>Automattic examined the images and determined that there was nothing illegal about their use on the site. The company sent Pozner a reply that said, &#8220;because we believe this to be fair use of the material, we will not be removing it at this time.&#8221;</p>\n<p>In the New York Times article, Automattic admits its insensitivity in handling the situation, apologizing to the family, but said the posts in question &#8220;are not violating any current user guidelines, or copyright law.&#8221;</p>\n<p>&#8220;The pain that the family has suffered is very real and if tied to the contents of sites we host, we want to have policies to address that,&#8221; Automattic told the New York Times.</p>\n<h3>WordPress.com Updates it Privacy Policy, Banning Malicious Publication of Unauthorized, Identifying Images of Minors</h3>\n<p>After consulting with the Internet Archive&#8217;s Wayback Machine, it appears WordPress.com has quietly updated its privacy policy, which now includes unauthorized images of minors on the list of things the platform considers private information. The <a href=\"https://web.archive.org/web/20180201091159/https://en.support.wordpress.com/private-information/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">previous policy</a> appears below:</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Screen-Shot-2018-08-16-at-8.29.14-AM.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://en.support.wordpress.com/private-information/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">updated policy</a> adds &#8220;the malicious publication of unauthorized, identifying images of minors&#8221; to that list.</p>\n<p>Searching Twitter for discussion surrounding Sandy Hook conspiracy sites turns up a slew of tweets calling on people to boycott WordPress.com and other Automattic products. However, there are also responses on the other end of the spectrum, with Sandy Hook conspiracy theorist supporters retweeting a user who claims that WordPress.com has shut down his site.</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Minutes ago this morning, I discovered that WordPress has unilaterally and without warning shut down Fellowship of the Minds for alleged violations of \"Terms of Service\".

These events are outlined in <a href=\"http://memoryholeblog.org/2018/08/14/wordpress-automattic-shuts-down-fellowshipoftheminds/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">a post on memoryholeblog.org</a>, a site maintained by James F. Tracy, a former professor of journalism and media who became known for his research questioning the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre and Boston Marathon bombing. Tracy&#8217;s blog was also removed from WordPress.com in 2016 for violation of Automattic’s Terms of Service.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Screen-Shot-2018-08-16-at-8.48.40-AM.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>Automattic did not detail specific infractions in either case of removal. It&#8217;s not clear whether the site referenced in the New York Times article was removed for a new offense or a previous one. The removals seem to have coincided with WordPress.com&#8217;s updated privacy policy, but Automattic&#8217;s PR department has not responded to a request for comment on the matter.</p>\n<p>&#8220;As with Automattic’s treatment of MHB, FOTM’s disappearance strongly suggests how WordPress.com’s policies are being tailored to placate outside parties whose foremost interest is in stifling political speech on potential high crimes, and how in this instance such poorly-founded grounds for censorship have triumphed over free speech,&#8221; Tracy said.</p>\n<p>Historically, Automattic has been a stalwart defender of free speech on the web. It&#8217;s outlined as part of the <a href=\"https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-guidelines/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress.com&#8217;s User Guidelines</a>:</p>\n<blockquote><p>WordPress.com strongly believes in freedom of speech. We have a vast audience spread across many cultures, countries and backgrounds with varying values and our service is designed to let users freely express any ideas and opinions without us censoring or endorsing them.</p></blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s not clear whether Automattic changed its policy in response to this situation or whether this situation revealed holes in it that the company wanted to improve. In either case, the policy change seems to have enabled Automattic to do what outraged onlookers wanted them to do, except outside of the emotional mandate issued by the New York Times.</p>\n<p>Without the new privacy policy in place, removal of a site based on offensive material constitutes censorship. Automattic had already determined that the post using the child&#8217;s image, while distasteful and offensive, was fair use for the material. The image had likely already been used thousands of times by news organizations with a different narrative attached to it that is more in alignment with the majority&#8217;s view of the tragedy.</p>\n<p>As it is a private company, Automattic&#8217;s terms of service do not have to reflect the full freedom of speech allowed by the law. However, the company has always upheld its reputation in the past as an uncompromising defender of its users when presented with requests for censorship.</p>\n<p>In a recent <a href=\"https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20180206/10271639166/why-allegedly-defamatory-content-wordpresscom-doesnt-come-down-without-court-order.shtml\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">post on Techdirt</a>, Automattic general counsel Paul Sieminski and Holly Hogan detail how WordPress.com handles its role in managing intermediary liability when the company receives complaints regarding defamatory content:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Making online hosts and other intermediaries like WordPress.com liable for the allegedly defamatory content posted by users is often criticized for burdening hosts and stifling innovation. But intermediary liability isn&#8217;t just bad for online hosts. It&#8217;s also terrible for online speech. The looming possibility of writing a large check incentivizes hosts like Automattic to do one thing when we first receive a complaint about content: Remove it. That decision may legally protect the host, but it doesn&#8217;t protect users or their online speech.</p></blockquote>\n<p>That article explains the level of nuance involved in handling complaints and the costs associated with protecting its users&#8217; freedom of speech. Automattic&#8217;s counsel concludes with an observation that &#8220;leaving such important decisions to the discretion of Internet hosts is misplaced and tilts the balance in favor of silencing often legitimate voices.&#8221;</p>\n<h3>WordPress.com is a Host for Websites, Not a Social Media Silo</h3>\n<p>WordPress.com&#8217;s platform is distinct from social networks in that it is not a social media silo. It acts more as a host and cannot have one-off shutdowns of sites anytime there is a public outcry.</p>\n<p>&#8220;WordPress.com is much closer to being a common carrier than Facebook and other social media,&#8221; Dan Kennedy, associate professor at Northeastern University&#8217;s school of Journalism, <a href=\"https://twitter.com/dankennedy_nu/status/1029343514243616769\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">said</a> in response to the NYT article. &#8220;That difference really doesn’t get highlighted here.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Self-hosted WordPress (.org) user and data journalist Matt Stiles also <a href=\"https://twitter.com/stiles/status/1029220655013609472\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">commented on the distinction</a>, and followed up with me privately, identifying WordPress.com as &#8220;a free-speech sidewalk for the Internet.&#8221;</p>\n<p>&#8220;WordPress.com needs to make clear to the public that it&#8217;s a host, not a place that controls &#8212; through algorithms or other curation, and revenue — content,&#8221; Stiles said. &#8220;I am NOT a supporter of sites like this. I just want WordPress to thrive as an open-source tool and as an important paid host for web sites. I&#8217;m also worried about WordPress.com having to make arbitrary decisions about content. It&#8217;s tough to define hate speech. We know it when we see it, but I worry about censorship on private platforms.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Dave Winer also <a href=\"http://scripting.com/2018/08/16/132055.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">commented</a> that the article failed to capture the distinction of WordPress.com as a host for websites:</p>\n<blockquote><p>WordPress.com isn&#8217;t like the others, it isn&#8217;t a silo, so banning him from that service will not necessarily have any affect on the presence of his site. He will be able to export his site, set up his own server, point the DNS entry at that server, and proceed on the open web and it will appear to outside viewers as if nothing happened. This will be the end of the discussion, unless the anti-speech advocates try to exert pressure on the open web. There they will find there is no CEO, no corporate headquarters, no shareholders afraid of losing value, none of the usual pressure points.</p></blockquote>\n<p>This particular situation regarding the Sandy Hook conspiracy site seems to have hit a nerve due to the fact that there are children involved. Despite WordPress.com&#8217;s quick privacy policy change in this instance, Automattic is still a rare outlier among publishing companies when it comes to support of free speech on the web. Media outlets and tech companies are increasingly clamoring for offensive content to be removed, instead of taking a principled stand against censorship.</p>\n<p>Today <a href=\"https://www.poynter.org/news/200-newspapers-will-write-pro-journalism-editorials-will-they-also-listen\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">more than 200 newspapers</a>, including the New York Times, are coordinating to publish editorials calling out President Trump&#8217;s characterization of the press as the &#8220;enemy of the people.&#8221; Corporate-owned news media is ready to decry attacks on free speech, but do they really believe in it when it counts? That freedom isn&#8217;t predicated on whether the speech is true or unoffensive to readers.</p>\n<p>Calling out a free speech platform like WordPress.com, without any distinction for its vital role in enabling journalists across the globe, is a coercive attempt to exact a desired result. What WordPress.com has done is groundbreaking in democratizing publishing and enabling bloggers to break news on their own sites.</p>\n<p>The New York Times raking WordPress.com over the coals for its refusal to censor its users is an egregious double standard. A publication cannot call for free speech for itself while eating up the rights of everyone else they don&#8217;t agree with. Principles aren&#8217;t principles if they only serve you when they are convenient.</p>\n<p>Forcing the censorship of offensive speech may feel like swift justice in the short term, but it weakens the fabric of a free society. Let discerning readers make up their own minds when they come across sites disseminating conspiracy theories.  Although it may be an unpopular stance, the tragic nature of this particular offense cannot bypass the principles that underpin our basic freedoms.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 16 Aug 2018 16:58:35 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:5;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:72:\"WPTavern: WPWeekly Episode 327 – Truth, Misinformation, and Good Ideas\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:58:\"https://wptavern.com?p=83205&preview=true&preview_id=83205\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:77:\"https://wptavern.com/wpweekly-episode-327-truth-misinformation-and-good-ideas\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2980:\"<p>In this episode, <a href=\"http://jjj.me\">John James Jacoby</a> and I discuss what&#8217;s new in the world of WordPress.

Jeet, <a href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/ill-keep-looking-for-a-cms-unless-i-find-wordpress/\">Saurabh</a>, <a href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/wordpress-my-passport-to-open-source/\">Aditya</a>, <a href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/growing-wordpress-india/\">Alexander</a>, and <a href=\"https://heropress.com/?s=india\">many others</a> gave deep and meaningful advice on how I, as a white American male, should approach the task I had set before me. This is one of the reasons it makes me so happy when I hear stories of how WordPress changes lives there, especially for women.</p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s HeroPress replay is from Juhi Patel, from Gujarat, in northwestern India.

Not only did she have the courage to move against that belief system, WordPress gave her the tools to practically make it happen, and thereby be an example to other women around her.

This major update also revamps the classic editor&#8217;s meta box for those who do not have the Gutenberg plugin installed.</p>\n<p>In the past, the Yoast SEO meta box was displayed below the post editor. In the Gutenberg UI, the meta box has been redesigned to fit in the sidebar. Those testing Gutenberg will also temporarily find an additional meta box below the post, as the Yoast team has not yet added all optimizations to both yet. In the future, users will have the option to choose between the two.</p>\n<p>The updated design displays individual optimizations in collapsible panels with colored smiley face indicators for feedback at a glance. The snippet preview and social previews feature can still be found in the meta box below the post editor. They will be integrated more tightly into the Gutenberg UI in a future round of updates.</p>\n<a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/gutenberg-sidebar-yoast.jpg?ssl=1\"><img /></a>image credit: <a href=\"https://yoast.com/yoast-seo-8-0-introducing-the-yoast-seo-gutenberg-sidebar-a-revamped-meta-box/\">Yoast SEO</a>\n<p>Yoast SEO 8.0 also brings some of the meta box UI improvements to the one displayed in the classic editor.

The Yoast SEO team is working on using modals to display previews for snippets and social posts from the sidebar so the interface isn&#8217;t split across two meta boxes. Users will eventually have the option to toggle either meta box display option into view, including those who are using the classic editor. The team is also working on allowing users to create blocks with the correct structured data automatically attached for things like books, recipes, products, and other specific content types.</p>\n<p>WordPress.org has a handful of popular SEO plugins and Yoast SEO is currently leading the pack when it comes to integration with the Gutenberg UI. In a recent support <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gutenberg-12/#post-10379255\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">thread</a>, All in One SEO Pack creator Michael Torbert said his plugin is &#8220;compatible with Gutenberg and will be getting new features to work with it in time.&#8221; Torbert doesn&#8217;t have full <a href=\"https://github.com/semperfiwebdesign/all-in-one-seo-pack/issues/1122\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Gutenberg integration</a> assigned to a milestone on GitHub yet.</p>\n<p>The SEO Framework, another SEO plugin growing in popularity, appears to be in the same boat if <a href=\"https://github.com/sybrew/the-seo-framework/issues/235\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">GitHub activity</a> is any indication.

In addition to the funding, selected companies will be able to take advantage of Awesome Motive&#8217;s media presence, network of business associates, and receive guidance.</p>\n\n<p>&#8220;The problem is that the WordPress market is not very well understood by investors,&#8221; Balkhi said. &#8220;And frankly, the majority of WordPress businesses are not large enough to meet their criteria.</p>\n\n<p>&#8220;But this doesn’t mean that WordPress businesses don’t have the potential. It’s quite the opposite – they have a lot of potential. There are tons of opportunities to grow in the WordPress ecosystem with the right playbook, and I want to help prove that.&#8221;</p>\n\n<p>Founders will be given a lot of advice although they won&#8217;t be required to act upon it. Backers of the growth fund will also maintain a hands-off approach, interfering as little as possible with day-to-day operations. </p>\n\n<p>Five companies will be hand-selected to receive funding. To be eligible for investments, WordPress-focused companies must be at least six months old.

Keijonen&#8217;s WordPress.org-hosted themes are active on more than 10,000 websites.</p>\n<p>During the past three years he began taking on more client work, which gave him less time for theme building and maintenance. Last month he accepted a front-end engineer position at 10up that is keeping him busy.</p>\n<p>Fans might remember Keijonen&#8217;s <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/the-mina-olen-free-wordpress-theme-experiment\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Mina Olen Free WordPress Theme Experiment</a> when he made the theme available for free on GitHub to see if potential customers would be inspired to purchase after being able to test drive the theme on their own sites. At that time he said he struggled to support his theme shop, because the business aspect of it wasn&#8217;t one of his strengths.</p>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to get lost in all the competition in the WordPress theme industry, especially when major players have more money to drop on advertising and support staff. The days of building a beautiful theme and selling it without any kind of marketing are long gone. Prospective theme developers have to be ready to embrace the challenges of competing in a much wider market in 2018.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Foxland isn’t a gold mine,&#8221; Keijonen said in his announcement. &#8220;Foxland brings about 3,000 to 4,000 Euros per year, which is OK but my goal was 10,000 euros.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Customers appreciated Keijonen&#8217;s attention to detail, accessibility, and performance. Respected WordPress theme author <a href=\"https://tungdo.github.io/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Tung Do</a> said Keijonen&#8217;s themes are &#8220;great examples of best practices.&#8221; Many of them also include support for popular plugins.</p>\n<p>For example, <a href=\"https://foxland.fi/downloads/checathlon/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Checathlon</a>, one of his best works, is active on <a href=\"https://foxland.fi/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">foxland.fi</a>.

All of Keijonen&#8217;s custom <a href=\"https://foxland.fi/downloads/category/plugins/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">plugins</a> (created to accompany the themes) are also available for free.</p>\n<p>The Foxland shop has cancelled all the recurring subscriptions but will continue to support existing purchases up to a year from the purchase date. Keijonen said he will maintain most of the old themes and plugins with small updates coming in the future but plans to deprecate some as well.</p>\n<p>The landscape of WordPress theming is about to change quite a bit when Gutenberg is merged into core.

The service is now widely used by many open source projects. Webpack, one of the first major Open Collective success stories, was able to fund its first full-time developer through the service and is now <a href=\"https://opencollective.com/webpack\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">operating on an estimated annual budget of $331,471</a>. The <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/how-the-san-francisco-wordpress-meetup-is-using-open-collective-to-fund-activities\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco WordPress meetup</a> (WPSFO) is one example of a WordPress group that successfully uses the service to <a href=\"https://opencollective.com/wordpress-sf\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">receive sponsorships</a> that help cover expenses for events.</p>\n<p>Open Collective has launched a new tool called <a href=\"https://backyourstack.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">BackYourStack</a> that helps people and organizations become aware of projects they use that need funding. The tool scans GitHub accounts (for individuals and organizations) and identifies projects that have already set up accounts on Open Collective. The tool shows all detected dependencies and the repositories where they are used.</p>\n<p>Here are a few sample results you get from scanning the WordPress GitHub account:</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Screen-Shot-2018-08-13-at-11.36.42-AM.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>The results display where project is used, the number of full-time maintainers, progress to reach the next goal, and a few organizations that are already backing the project. Open Collective also allows backers to support multiple dependences in bulk via a lump sum as an alternative to backing each project individually.</p>\n<p>Not every open source project listed on Open Collective will have the need to fund salaries and events, but even a small yearly budget can reduce out-of-pocket costs for open source maintainers for things like hosting and promotional costs.

Yoast SEO 8.0 is coming next week with the first round of compatibility in place.</p>\n<p>&#8220;8.0 is coming on Tuesday with most of it, some bits are relying on the integration of an annotations API in Gutenberg, which is not entirely under our control,&#8221; de Valk said. &#8220;We need that to do markings like we do in the classic editor to highlight where your errors are. Feature complete is quite a while off &#8211; we want to do a LOT. Gutenberg is opening a whole new playing field for us in terms of more in context, actionable feedback.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Future versions of Yoast SEO will offer more features inline, instead of housing them in a single meta box.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We started by breaking down all our features, and seeing where we could integrate them into Gutenberg,&#8221; de Valk said in a <a href=\"https://yoast.com/gutenberg-integration/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">post</a> outlining Yoast SEO&#8217;s planned approach back in October 2017. &#8220;We don’t think holding on to a single, massive box below the editor will best serve our customers. We’d much rather integrate right where the action happens, and Gutenberg offers us that chance.&#8221;</p>\n<p>For example, readability analysis can be shown on a per-block basis to provide more fine-grained feedback:</p>\n<a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/readability-analysis.jpg?ssl=1\"><img /></a>image credit: <a href=\"https://yoast.com/gutenberg-integration/\">Yoast SEO</a>\n<p>&#8220;You’ll get actionable feedback in context,&#8221; de Valk said. &#8220;You don’t have to scroll down to a meta box to see the advice and scroll up again to the place where you should implement it. If we give feedback per block, you will get a better understanding of all the factors that influence SEO.&#8221;</p>\n<p>The Yoast SEO team has been enthusiastic about what the Gutenberg era will bring to WordPress. In a recent <a href=\"https://twitter.com/jdevalk/status/1026084237508788225\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter thread</a>, de Valk summarized his thoughts on the project and described the direction the Yoast SEO plugin is headed:</p>\n<blockquote><p>[I&#8217;ve] been thinking about Gutenberg more lately, as discussion about it is growing now that it&#8217;s near to WordPress core inclusion. What is most important in what we&#8217;re doing is something I think most people don&#8217;t see yet: The new &#8216;blocks&#8217; that Gutenberg introduces allow us to, much more easily, make content items instead of web pages the smallest particle of the web.</p>\n<p>Questions and answers, how to&#8217;s, recipes, suddenly all of them can much more easily have metadata, and be reused. This is particularly important to SEOs: the search engines, driven by voice search requirements, are searching for answers, more than for &#8216;just&#8217; URLs to send traffic to, and blocks allow us to give them those answers, in a format both they and users can understand. While doing this, it allows us to keep the separation of content and design, something we definitely need to think more about.</p></blockquote>\n<p>With Gutenberg compatibility on its way from widely-used plugins like ACF and Yoast SEO, users can have confidence more plugins they depend on will follow suit. These major players are the first cracks in the ice across the ecosystem that will soon make Gutenberg-support the standard for any product that wants to compete.</p>\n<p>de Valk encouraged users to look at the advent of Gutenberg as a door to new opportunities during this transition time.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Gutenberg is not &#8216;done,\'&#8221; de Valk said. &#8220;I think it&#8217;s ready to ship, but I also think it opens up a world of new opportunities and discussions. It&#8217;s not all &#8216;right&#8217; yet either, so there will have to be changes as more people use it and get used to it. I do realize this is a drastic change in some ways. But it&#8217;s also not half as bad as people think it is. I have seen people use it for the first time, most people get used to it very quickly. Last but not least: you don&#8217;t have to switch now. The classic editor plugin exists for a reason. You can put off your switch for a year, or even two. But eventually I think everyone will see the power of the new editor and will switch.&#8221;</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 09 Aug 2018 21:54:16 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:14;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:100:\"WPTavern: Advanced Custom Fields to Add Gutenberg Compatibility in Version 5.0, Slated for September\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=83016\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:110:\"https://wptavern.com/advanced-custom-fields-to-add-gutenberg-compatibility-in-version-5-0-slated-for-september\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4880:\"<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Screen-Shot-2018-08-08-at-10.50.38-PM.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Advanced Custom Fields</a> (ACF) team published an <a href=\"https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/blog/the-state-of-acf-in-a-gutenberg-world/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">announcement</a> today, assuring users that Gutenberg compatibility is in the works and will be available in version 5.0 of the free version in September 2018. The plugin, created by Elliot Condon, makes it easy for developers to add custom fields to WordPress edit screens, including posts, users, taxonomy terms, and media.</p>\n<p>ACF is widely used with more than a million active installations. Developers have been concerned about whether or not their custom fields would continue to work on their clients&#8217; websites after the new editor makes its debut in WordPress 5.0.</p>\n<p>Gutenberg treats legacy metaboxes as second class citizens in the interface, stuffed at the bottom of the new edit screen. Metaboxes should, however, continue to work as expected. The ACF announcement lets developers know what to expect for how their metaboxes will appear inside Gutenberg:</p>\n<blockquote><p>By default, our beloved metaboxes are pushed all the way to the bottom of the screen in an awkward attempt to retain compatibility. This placement feels very much like an afterthought from the Gutenberg developers and creates a disjointed editing experience for those of us (1+ million awesome ACF users) who extend the edit screens with extra fields.</p>\n<p>While this setup isn’t ideal, we will continue to work within the system to ensure that ACF is integrated into the Gutenberg UI to the fullest extent possible.</p></blockquote>\n<p>The free version of ACF will introduce Gutenberg compatibility in its version 5 release, which is slated for early September 2018. The compatibility update will only apply to version 5 and later, so the ACF team urges developers to running 4.x to upgrade to 5 as soon as it becomes available. Developers can also elect to upgrade early by turning on ACF&#8217;s <a href=\"https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/upgrade-guide-version-5/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Early Access</a> feature.</p>\n<p>The most surprising news is that ACF is introducing its own &#8220;ACF Blocks,&#8221; an <code>acf_register_block()</code> function that allows developers to register their own custom blocks without having to learn JavaScript.</p>\n<blockquote><p>One of the big selling points of Gutenberg is the ability for developers to create custom blocks.

Without the right tools, it can be overwhelming to simply get started building even the most basic theme.</p><cite>Justin Tadlock</cite></blockquote>\n\n<p>While starter themes are nothing new in the WordPress space, Mythic and <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wp-rig-a-wordpress-starter-theme-and-build-process-in-one\">WP Rig</a> take things to the next level and relatively share the same goal of providing a modern foundation to develop on top of. </p>\n\n<p>Part of the inspiration to build Mythic began two years ago. In trying to revamp the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/themes/news/\">News theme</a>, Tadlock became frustrated with how difficult it was to use old coding methods and dropped the project.<br />><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />&#8220;In a lot of ways, it was the catalyst that started me down this road toward Mythic,&#8221; Tadlock said. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t realize it at the time. But, that&#8217;s where some of my frustration began with modern theme building.&#8221;</p>\n\n<p>Mythic supports PHP 5.6+ although Tadlock is strongly pushing developers towards PHP 7+. &#8220;Anything earlier than 5.6 means for clunky code that’s just a headache to maintain,&#8221; he said. &#8220;WordPress, as a community, needs to be pushing people to update.&#8221;</p>\n\n<p>Support for SASS, LESS, CSS, and Stylus are built-in and developers can choose which language they prefer for builds. ES6+ was chosen for JavaScript and is commonly used for building Gutenberg blocks. </p>\n\n<p>Mythic comes with <a href=\"http://getbem.com/\">BEM</a> or Block-Element-Modifier. BEM is a methodology that enables developers to create reusable elements and sharing code in front-end environments. </p>\n\n<p>&#8220;BEM is a popular solution because it goes hand-in-hand with modern CSS pre-processors,&#8221; Tadlock said. &#8220;It also allows you to keep your styles flat and not get lost in <em>specificity hell</em>. This means smaller, faster stylesheets that are easier to override when you, a child theme author, or user need to do something custom.&#8221; The starter theme uses <a href=\"https://webpack.js.org/\">Webpack</a> in combination with <a href=\"https://github.com/JeffreyWay/laravel-mix\">Laravel Mix</a> to manage assets and modules.<br /></p>\n\n<p>Mythic has an <a href=\"https://themehybrid.com/weblog/working-with-the-view-class\">extended View class</a> that allows theme authors to use their preferred folder structure. Theme authors can also add custom data to theme templates. According to Tadlock, both features are not part of WordPress&#8217; native templating system. </p>\n\n<p>In addition to Mythic, Tadlock has continued to work on the <a href=\"https://themehybrid.com/hybrid-core\">Hybrid Core </a>framework. Hybrid Core is a required dependency that is added via Composer. </p>\n\n<p>Using Mythic with Hybrid Core exposes developers to features of the framework that they otherwise may not discover. &#8220;I rewrote nearly all of HC5 from scratch,&#8221; he said. &#8220;As a result, it’s leaner, more organized, and more cohesive.&#8221; The starter theme is also Gutenberg-ready.<br /></p>\n\n<h2>Tadlock Experiments with Sponsorship Pricing Model<br /></h2>\n\n<p>Mythic is in open beta and available for free via <a href=\"https://github.com/justintadlock/mythic\">GitHub</a>. The <a href=\"https://themehybrid.com/themes/mythic\">pricing model</a> is an honor system experiment. Tadlock is asking those who build projects for clients and generating a profit, to make a $99 sponsorship purchase. For commercially-sold themes, he is asking for $199. Both packages come with one year of support and access to the company&#8217;s Slack channel. <br /></p>\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m still taking feedback on the payment system,&#8221; Tadlock said. &#8220;It could change. There have been a few suggestions more of a lifetime/flat fee. I&#8217;d prefer to just get some generous sponsors and keep it all $free. We&#8217;ll see where that goes in this next month of the beta process.&#8221;</p>\n\n<p>Mythic&#8217;s beta ends on September 3rd in which he&#8217;ll release version 1.0. Until then, he is trying to get as much feedback as possible from developers.

This new module ports WordPress&#8217; Gutenberg editor over to Drupal. It was created by Per André Rønsen and his team <a href=\"https://www.frontkom.no/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Frontkom</a>, a digital services agency based in Norway.</p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://drupalgutenberg.org/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Drupal Gutenberg</a> project aims to provide a new publishing experience based on WordPress&#8217; Gutenberg editor. The <a href=\"https://drupalgutenberg.org/demo\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">live demo</a> on the site currently provides a frontend interactive implementation of Gutenberg inside Drupal, similar to WordPress&#8217; &#8220;Frontenberg&#8221; demo on <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">wordpress.org/gutenberg</a>. The latest implementation of the module will appear there but Rønsen said it is currently being revamped, as lots of things have happened with Gutenberg in the past few weeks.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/drupal-gutenberg.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<h3>How the Drupal Gutenberg Project was Born</h3>\n<p>Rønsen told us he first saw Gutenberg in 2017 and was inspired to use it for one of Frontkom&#8217;s media clients.</p>\n<p>&#8220;The thought of forking it came mid-2017, as we explored using Gutenberg as a lib for making a front page builder sponsored by the Google Digital News Initiative,&#8221; Rønsen said. &#8220;We ended up using it, and the Drupal module is a natural spin off.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Frontkom tailored the Gutenberg-based page builder for the media industry. It adds extra functionality to Gutenberg that allows users to position and tweak articles for the front page of an online newspaper. Rønsen said the project went well and his team plans to open source it but it&#8217;s too early to share anything right now.</p>\n<p>Following this successful experience using Gutenberg for a client, Frontkom began work on the Drupal Gutenberg project in early January 2018.</p>\n<p>&#8220;The main part of the work was to make Gutenberg more CMS agnostic,&#8221; Rønsen said. &#8220;First we forked it and maintained a fork. Later we started using Gutenberg as a dependency, testing a more maintainable approach.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Rønsen opened a ticket on GitHub, requesting that the Gutenberg team consider <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/2780\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">structuring the project to be more CMS-agnostic</a>. The ticket was closed fairly soon with the <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/2780#issuecomment-342569414\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">explanation</a> that it &#8220;doesn&#8217;t relate directly to the work going on with the project and its goals.&#8221;</p>\n<p>&#8220;We have very little, if any, upstream commits so far, as the WP core interest has been to just cater to WP needs so far,&#8221; Rønsen said. &#8220;But that just changed.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Gutenberg is moving towards making it easier to use outside of WordPress. The team is working on <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/3955\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">publishing all the React modules as npm packages</a>. Rønsen said he anticipates that decreasing the number of globals needed to make Gutenberg work will be a huge help for other CMSs.</p>\n<p>So far the Drupal Gutenberg project has not been shared widely but Rønsen said his team has seen a lot of interest from the Drupal tech community.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We have a blog post coming in English with more detail; we kind of saved it for after holidays,&#8221; Rønsen said. &#8220;But then it blew up, and devs keep contacting us wanting to help out.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Frontkom has been involved in the Drupal community for more than 10 years and WordPress for the past three years. Rønsen and his team believe that Gutenberg fills a gap in the Drupal space.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Drupal doesn&#8217;t have all those fancy WordPress page builders,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So that is really more interesting than just a new post edit UI – we want a unified way to build complex layouts.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Drupal already has an initiative for revamping its admin UI using React, and Rønsen said he thinks Gutenberg might contribute to how this can happen in Drupal core. In an ideal world, many open source projects could greatly benefit from a CMS-agnostic Gutenberg, with all of them contributing together towards its improvement.</p>\n<p>&#8220;To us as a company, it is extremely interesting to build out front-ends that can easily be moved between CMSs,&#8221; Rønsen said. &#8220;For open source CMSs in general, I think there will be a lot to learn from the implementation process. For example, D8 has the concept of &#8216;everything is a block.&#8217; This has made it easy for us to make Drupal core blocks available in Gutenberg – we just need to do some magic to expose block settings.&#8221;</p>\n<p>The Frontkom team are not only enthusiastic fans of Gutenberg&#8217;s interface, but also appreciate the way the project is run. Rønsen hasn&#8217;t been following the <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/gutenberg-plugin-garners-mixed-reactions-from-new-wave-of-testers\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">community reaction to the latest round of Gutenberg testing</a> but said he thinks WordPress users will love it long term, since &#8220;most of the page builders out there have issues.&#8221;</p>\n<p>&#8220;Drupal can learn a lot from WordPress, the way they actually built the Gutenberg project – a transparent design process, lots of collaboration, and still highly efficient,&#8221; Rønsen said. &#8220;So, WordPress is definitely ahead of Drupal with regards to their admin UI/JS work. Since there is already a lot of interest in the Drupal community to do something similar, it is very refreshing to see someone go through it and succeed (hopefully).&#8221;</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://twitter.com/stevector\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Steve Persch</a>, lead developer advocate at Pantheon, spoke at DrupalCon in Nashville 2018 about <a href=\"https://events.drupal.org/nashville2018/sessions/whats-possible-wordpress-50\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">what&#8217;s possible with WordPress 5.0</a> and also gave a session at Twin Cities Drupal Camp titled &#8220;<a href=\"https://2018.tcdrupal.org/session/everything-block-how-wordpress-rewrote-wysiwyg\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Everything is a Block: How WordPress Rewrote the WYSIWYG</a>.&#8221; In response to buzz on Twitter about the Drupal Gutenberg session, Persch <a href=\"https://twitter.com/stevector/status/1026461967630983169\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">said</a> Drupal needs an editorial UX improvement to stay competitive, but not necessarily by adopting Gutenberg.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We have in-progress initiatives toward that end,&#8221; Persch said. &#8220;Gutenberg itself could turn into a distraction from that work. In both [presentations] I also mentioned that Paragraphs or Layout Builder could be better data model starting points for Gutenberg-like functionality. Delivering exactly the same thing as WordPress would be self-defeating. Structured content is the heart of Drupal. I see Gutenberg (or something like it) as a better UI for the corner of the data model (the Paragraphs part) that Drupal sites have had for years.&#8221;</p>\n<p>It will be interesting to see how different open source communities approach Gutenberg and how more diverse feedback from outside of WordPress could impact the project.</p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://www.drupal.org/sandbox/marcofernandes/2981601\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Drupal Gutenberg module</a> can be downloaded from the project page.

The goal of the prompt is to get more users testing the new editor and to raise awareness. Within the first 72 hours of the prompt going into user dashboards, sites with Gutenberg installed have shot up to more than 80,000, a 300% increase. The plugin has been downloaded more than 147,000 times in the past week.</p>\n<p>Gutenberg feedback is pouring in from a wave of new testers, most of whom are finding out about the new editor for the first time. Reactions have varied widely across multiple social networks. The announcement on <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/WordPress/posts/10156301634992911\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress&#8217; official Facebook account</a> attracted many drive-by style comments that included negative reactions, confusion, and questions, with a few positive comments peppered in between.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Blocks aren’t doing it for me.

Gutenberg reviews are currently at a 2.4-star average, slipping from the 2.7-star average it held prior to the 4.9.8 release.

However, there are many reasons why a tester might be motivated to write a negative review. Some may have ignored the advice not to use it in production, some may be testing it with incompatible plugins, some may not want any changes to their established workflow, and some may simply not like the interface.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Screen-Shot-2018-08-05-at-10.24.03-PM.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>While it may seem that the plugin has been widely panned by new testers, those who are the most critical tend to be more motivated to write a review.

The invitation has already succeeded at pulling out some quality feedback if you can sort through all the casual, angry one-liners.</p>\n<p>Steven Peters opened a lengthy <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/in-one-word-no-please-read-full-review/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">review</a> with the following observations about the more cumbersome and unintuitive aspects of Gutenberg&#8217;s interface:</p>\n<blockquote><p>The interface is not cohesive in its design. For example, To place a block of a paragraph, a heading, a subheading, a bullet list and every other block, the user must click the + sign every single time, making it that much harder to ‘go with the flow’ of writing, and is cumbersome and time-consuming. Time-consuming: a click for each block instead of just writing. More clicks equal wasted time.</p></blockquote>\n<p>In a review titled &#8220;<a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lots-of-potential-but-too-soon-for-core/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Lots of potential but too soon for core</a>,&#8221; Mark Wilkinson details several specific usability issues:</p>\n<blockquote><p>The interface I find confusing – I think it is because it is too minimal. I found that it was all too easy to add a block by mistake and then not knowing what the block was or why it was there.</p>\n<p>There is too much reliance on hover effects, with things appearing and disappearing all the time. I also find it hard to know where the focus is on the screen as it just uses a faint grey border.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Several reviewers were candid about their distaste for the concept of putting content into blocks. The Gutenberg team has readily communicated its vision for the block-based editor, but this tends to speak more to developers.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Why does every little thing have to be in a separate block?&#8221; one reviewer <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/im-not-change-resistant-but-this-has-a-way-to-go/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">asked</a> before describing multiple usability issues with current block behavior. &#8220;That is a feature I think I actually detest. I do not want 50 zillion little fussy blocks on a page. I had entire blocks just disappear on me and a lot of the time, I was initially unsure of exactly what I did to make them disappear. This is bad. Some of the time it was placing a block, like an image block, and then deleting the image … the entire block went, which meant I had to go through the motions to add the block, then add an image block again, and then add my image again. Lame.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Multiple reviewers commented that previously simple tasks are much more complicated in Gutenberg. Others said after reading official replies to reviews, they felt that leaving specific feedback was a waste of time. Canned responses from the Gutenberg team gave some the impression that their feedback wasn&#8217;t heard or valued.</p>\n<blockquote><p>My feeling while reading the WordPress developer responses is that that they have no intention of either stopping or postponing Gutenberg no matter what bug or problem is given to their attention. &#8211; <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-i-just-interject-here/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@lauritasita</a></p></blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>I have read all the reviews (and also the Gutenberg-lovers’ replies) and it seems that it is not really a discussion. The question on what is missing in this editor is useless if people simply do not want such a feature in their install. All you do is trying to convince people that it would only take time to get used to a modern technology. In my eyes this is bullshit. I myself love new features – if they are useful. &#8211; <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/time-to-respect-your-users-matt/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@peg20</a></p></blockquote>\n<p>Based on the responses to reviews, it isn&#8217;t clear to testers whether the Gutenberg team is willing to make major changes to re-design features that are not easy to use or whether they are simply combing the reviews for feedback on bugs with the existing interface.</p>\n<h3>Classic Editor Plugin Installations are on the Rise as Users Prepare for WordPress 5.0</h3>\n<p>In the days following WordPress 4.9.8&#8217;s release, active installations of the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Classic Editor</a> plugin have jumped from 7,000 to 60,000, a 757% increase.

When WordPress 5.0 lands, neither way should be seen as the &#8216;correct&#8217; way &#8211; they&#8217;re both entirely legitimate.&#8221;</p>\n<p>One major theme in both positive and negative reviews of the plugin is the desire for Gutenberg to be opt-in for WordPress 5.0, instead of having it auto-enabled for all users.</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The \"Try Gutenberg\" callout in WordPress 4.9.8 looks great!

For millions of other WordPress users without their own developers or engineering teams, discovering Gutenberg auto-enabled after updating to WordPress 5.0 will be a moment of reckoning.

Hundreds of high quality free stock photo sites have cropped up on the web over the past few years, but Pexels is differentiating itself with a commitment to hosting diversity-focused images and videos that represent a wide range of experiences. WordPress.com is working with them and other partners to <a href=\"https://wordpress.com/read/feeds/25823/posts/1945569908\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">make more diverse images available to users</a>:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Stock-image libraries have historically struggled to represent all experiences, and often excluded photos of people of color, people with disabilities, or non-binary individuals. Pexels is working to change that, and since partnering with them we’ve helped incorporate diversity-focused libraries to their collection. Ultimately, we believe it’s on us to help find a solution to this problem, and avoid generic stock images that often perpetuate stereotypes.</p></blockquote>\n<p>WordPress.com users can access the images via the Add Media button. Self-hosted site owners with Jetpack-enabled sites can also access the library when composing new posts on WordPress.com. Automattic happiness engineer Anne McCarthy posted a demo of where to find the new images:</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://cloudup.com/c-ZzCzFS1Rn\"><img src=\"https://i2.wp.com/cldup.com/mJOr5iicyD.gif?resize=627%2C348&ssl=1\" alt=\"Media\" width=\"627\" height=\"348\" /></a></p>\n<p>More than 1,000 developers and companies are using the <a href=\"https://www.pexels.com/api/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Pexels API</a>. The site regularly hosts diversity-focused photo <a href=\"https://www.pexels.com/challenges/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">challenges</a> with prizes for the best submissions. Photographers who are inspired to contribute can submit their work to the library but should be aware of its <a href=\"https://www.pexels.com/photo-license\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">open license</a>.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I like the idea, and, as a photoblogger, I’m open to sharing my images,&#8221; one reader commented on the announcement. &#8220;But I [think] the license rules are too open (for me).

The prices for each pass were as follows:</p>\n\n<ul><li>Personal Pass: $199</li><li>Extended Pass: $399</li><li>Professional Pass: $699</li><li>All Access Pass: $899</li></ul>\n\n<p>After six weeks, Williamson noticed that customers were continuing to purchase individual extensions instead of the passes. </p>\n\n<p>&#8220;Our expectation and intent in creating the passes was for store owners to be able to purchase access to multiple individual extensions in a more economical way, but that’s not what happened,&#8221; he said. </p>\n\n<p>&#8220;Instead, store owners continued to purchase only the individual extensions they needed because the price tags of the passes were still too high. It is clear that we made a mistake in our pass pricing, and so today we’d like to apologize for that and announce new, lower prices.&#8221;</p>\n\n<p>After two weeks of testing, the prices of each pass have been significantly reduced to the following amounts:</p>\n\n<ul><li>Personal Pass: <strong>$99</strong></li><li>Extended Pass: <strong>$199</strong></li><li>Professional Pass: <strong>$299</strong></li><li>All Access Pass: <strong>$499</strong><strong></strong><strong></strong></li></ul>\n\n<p>In addition to the pricing changes, customers who purchased a pass between June 1st and August 1st are eligible for a refund. The refund is equal to the difference of the purchased price and the new price. Customers have until August 15th, to <a href=\"https://easydigitaldownloads.com/support\">request a refund</a>. <br /></p>\n\n<p>Customers who purchased passes before the reduction will have their renewal amounts automatically changed to the lower price. </p>\n\n<p>Pricing WordPress products and services is tough and requires experimentation. There are numerous <a href=\"https://wordpress.tv/?s=pricing\">WordCamp sessions</a>, <a href=\"https://kinsta.com/blog/how-to-price-a-product-wordpress/\">articles</a>, and <a href=\"https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/pricing-your-wordpress-services/\">in-depth guides</a> on the subject but there&#8217;s not one answer that&#8217;s best for every business. </p>\n\n<p>Publicly admitting to a pricing mistake is one thing, but offering refunds to try to get customers on equal footing is going the extra mile.</p>\n\n<p>The company could have handled things in a way that&#8217;s not as beneficial to customers, but they chose what I think is a commendable way. Williamson&#8217;s closing statement speaks about the way he leads his company and how he makes these types of decisions.</p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>While we are far from perfect, as this pricing mistake clearly indicates, we are dedicated to doing right by our customers. To each of you, we would like to extend our most sincere thanks for sticking with us as we work through these changes</p><cite>Pippin Williamson</cite></blockquote>\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a luxury to have business owners like Williamson in the WordPress economy. </p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 02 Aug 2018 01:00:41 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:28;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:95:\"WPTavern: Gutenberg 3.4 Adds New Warning to Classic Editor When Editing Posts Containing Blocks\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=82772\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:106:\"https://wptavern.com/gutenberg-3-4-adds-new-warning-to-classic-editor-when-editing-posts-containing-blocks\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2614:\"<p><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/07/31/whats-new-in-gutenberg-30th-july/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Gutenberg 3.4</a> was released yesterday with fixes intended to prepare the plugin for converting existing content to blocks.

Because of that strange sense of time and action I’ve always been quite fond of the quote from Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland</p>\n<p>“Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.”<br />\nBut where, for this story, is the beginning?</p>\n<p>It was a lifetime of choices and serendipitous encounters that led me down the path to WordPress and eventually Automattic. And those same types of choices and encounters that keep me here.</p>\n<h2>Begin at the Beginning&#8230;</h2>\n<p>I was a youngish mother of a youngish child and a full time stay at home parent. I didn’t work outside the home; I was raising my kid. That was both a privilege and a problem. I realized that, as a mother consumed with caring for this new human, I was beginning to lose the very strong sense of identity that I’d always had.</p>\n<p>This was my first experience with not knowing who I was. I always knew who I was, even if I didn’t know who I wanted to be. As a mother though, most of who I am was sucked into caring for my family. Not sleeping. Not taking proper care of myself. Not taking time for my interests. Putting the others in my house before me and saying that it was what I wanted.</p>\n<p><em>Narrator: It wasn’t.</em></p>\n<p>There was a pivot point. A moment before my daughter turned three. When I realized that if she were to choose to become a mother I would not want her to go down the same path of self denial that I had. I would want her to be who she is first and a mother second so that she could be the best self and mother she could be.</p>\n<p>And I realized that was something I could only show by example. But how to start? I’d always been a writer. I often say that I only learned to read so that I could write. Journaling, short stories, poetry. Sometimes just long strings of thoughts and observations that wouldn’t leave my head until I wrote them down. I would write out long “stories” on MySpace about my experiences and realizations. I would scrawl poetry on scrap paper laying around the house. None of it was enough.</p>\n<p>Also, as I understand is fairly typical for a stay at home parent, I had no one to talk to most of the time except for my small child. And while she was super awesome and receptive to any conversation I may want to start, they all tended to transition to discussion of My Little Ponies or a request for ice cream or screen time. So I looked for something more. For a place to discuss the mommified version of myself with no one and everyone. I started a blog.</p>\n<p>But it wasn’t on WordPress.</p>\n<h2>Go On…</h2>\n<p>I wrote and I wrote and I wrote. My experiences, my kid’s experiences. Dreams and hopes and bad poetry. And I found a group of people who shared with me their struggles and dreams as they dove into mine. A web of women and men who got me. Who got what I was going through. Who got what I was doing. A community of individuals, not all like minded, but all understanding.</p>\n<p>And then one day I was asked to write for a city blog, and then another. And as my writing began to expand I found other communities. My sense of self was first preserved but then invigorated and it grew and I stretched my arms and I stretched my wings and I realized I was beginning to feel whole for the first time in a long while.</p>\n<p>But using multiple platforms for my blogging gave me the understanding that the platform I was using was restrictive and unsatisfying. Clunky.</p>\n<p>And that’s when a friend mentioned WordCamp Portland. It was this new thing. We were doing it for the first time. A bunch of bloggers getting together to talk about WordPress and blogging and stuff.</p>\n<p>I had no idea what WordPress was. But my friend said they needed some volunteers to help out, and I’m always one to support my friends, my community. So I asked what I needed to do to help.</p>\n<p>“Move your blog to WordPress”</p>\n<p>And so I did. And something clicked. Once I had moved to a WordPress site I found my passion for blogging was something more. I played with themes, I made headers that felt like art pieces, I helped others transfer their content, set up their sites. I introduced them to a community that I was just beginning to get to know.</p>\n<p>And then there was a cascade of activity. More blogs, podcasting, events, community, and every year there was WordCamp Portland. And I continued to learn and grow my skills as a writer, as a blogger, as a podcaster, and as a WordPresser. I continued to volunteer, and then to speak, and to help organize.</p>\n<h2>And on…</h2>\n<p>But life changes. Sometimes for the better sometimes for the worse. But change is hard. People change or stay the same. Relationships change. Life changes. Sometimes all of the above. So I ended a marriage and found myself stumped. I knew who I was, but who I happened to be was a stay at home mom who hadn’t worked outside the home in eight years and had no marketable skills that I could find that would also allow me to continue to be home for my kid.</p>\n<p>And I panicked and I procrastinated and then I found an opening. A small startup I knew through my interactions with the community needed a customer support person who also knew WordPress.</p>\n<p>A light went on. And I had a job for the first time in eight years. And I knew what I was doing. And I was good at it. And I continued to blog. A little. And I stuck to the little tiny fringes of the WordPress community I knew. Still not realizing how big the rest of it was.</p>\n<p>The Portland WordPress folks were like a river feeding into the ocean of the worldwide community. But I’d only ever stood on the shores of the river and dipped my toes in. All that was about to change.</p>\n<h2>Till You Come to the End…</h2>\n<p>But as I said at the beginning, it’s not that simple. There is no end. There is just more. More stories, more people, more learning, more community. And that’s where we begin the part of the story that tells us where I am today.</p>\n<p>This part begins with an email from a community friend with a link to a job posting. And a new beginning.</p>\n<p>I was working happily at that small startup, spreading my wings. But starting to feel a little bit like my passion wasn’t being put to use when that email arrived. A link to a job posting working as a sponsored volunteer within the WordPress community and question. It was a simple question. “Do you know anyone who would kick ass at this job?”</p>\n<p>DID I? I was reeling from the possibility and doubled over with imposter syndrome and fear. Fear that I wasn’t good enough. Fear that they wouldn’t like me. Fear that I’d be leaving my boss in the lurch.</p>\n<p>So I did what I always did at that time. And what I still do to this day. I procrastinated. I talked. I thought. I woke up in the middle of the night in a panic thinking I had forgotten something. Thinking I had done something wrong.</p>\n<p>But as I sat there one day tinkering on the startup’s site, scheduling posts, checking in on our customers all while getting my daughter ready for school that morning I realized that it was time to set aside those fears. To look that imposter syndrome right in the eye and say “not today” and I started putting together my resume and working on the cover email.</p>\n<p>No one was more surprised than I when I found myself two months later starting my first day at Automattic.</p>\n<p>It’s been about 5 and a half years since that email landed in my inbox. It’s been more than a decade since WordPress landed in my heart and I’m proud to make my living in the wide wonderful world of WordPress. As I write this story for all of you to read—not a cautionary tale I hope, but an inspirational one—I’m just a few days away from the end of my three-month sabbatical (a benefit that all Automatticians are eligible for after 5 years.)</p>\n<p>It’s been a time of rest, readjustment, relaxation. Of edification. But it’s also been a renewal. A time to look back at how I got where I am and remember how lucky I am to be here today. And I owe it all to a little bit of gumption and to the amazing community of WordPressers who opened their world to me. And also to everyone else who is willing to be a part of this great big community founded on open source. On WordPress.</p>\n<div class=\"rtsocial-container rtsocial-container-align-right rtsocial-horizontal\"><div class=\"rtsocial-twitter-horizontal\"><div class=\"rtsocial-twitter-horizontal-button\"><a title=\"Tweet: Begin at the Beginning\" class=\"rtsocial-twitter-button\" href=\"https://twitter.com/share?text=Begin%20at%20the%20Beginning&via=heropress&url=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fbegin-at-the-beginning%2F\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"></a></div></div><div class=\"rtsocial-fb-horizontal fb-light\"><div class=\"rtsocial-fb-horizontal-button\"><a title=\"Like: Begin at the Beginning\" class=\"rtsocial-fb-button rtsocial-fb-like-light\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fbegin-at-the-beginning%2F\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"></a></div></div><div class=\"rtsocial-linkedin-horizontal\"><div class=\"rtsocial-linkedin-horizontal-button\"><a class=\"rtsocial-linkedin-button\" href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fbegin-at-the-beginning%2F&title=Begin+at+the+Beginning\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share: Begin at the Beginning\"></a></div></div><div class=\"rtsocial-pinterest-horizontal\"><div class=\"rtsocial-pinterest-horizontal-button\"><a class=\"rtsocial-pinterest-button\" href=\"https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://heropress.com/essays/begin-at-the-beginning/&media=https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/080118-150x150.jpg&description=Begin at the Beginning\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pin: Begin at the Beginning\"></a></div></div><a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"perma-link\" href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/begin-at-the-beginning/\" title=\"Begin at the Beginning\"></a></div><p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/begin-at-the-beginning/\">Begin at the Beginning</a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://heropress.com\">HeroPress</a>.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 01 Aug 2018 08:00:57 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:9:\"Cami Kaos\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:31;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:86:\"WPTavern: WordPress 4.9.8 RC 3 Released, Limits ‘Try Gutenberg’ Callout Visibility\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=82803\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:90:\"https://wptavern.com/wordpress-4-9-8-rc-3-released-limits-try-gutenberg-callout-visibility\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1701:\"<p>WordPress 4.9.8 Release Candidate 3 <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/07/31/wordpress-4-9-8-release-candidate-3/\">is available</a> for testing.

In April, the platform <a href=\"https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2018/04/24/new-facebook-platform-product-changes-policy-updates/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">announced</a> sweeping changes to the publish_actions permission, which allowed apps to publish to users&#8217; timeline on their behalf.</p>\n<blockquote><p>On August 1st, 2018, the Live API publish_actions permission, which allows an app to publish on behalf of its Users, will be reserved for approved partners. A new permission model that allows apps to publish Videos to their User&#8217;s Groups and Timeline will be created instead.</p>\n<p>Access to the Pages APIs requires re-submission of the application for review before August 1, 2018. This will be required to continue publishing live and VOD video to Pages, as well as reading insights.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Facebook is notorious for swiftly changing its APIs in ways that break apps (sometimes without warning), often sending developers scrambling. For a long time, apps auto-posting to user timelines was part of the wild west of app permissions granted without much oversight from Facebook. Users often unknowingly gave permission to apps that would collect data and spam their Facebook connections with posts made on their behalf.</p>\n<p>Those days are over, but an unfortunate byproduct of this restriction is that apps like WordPress.com and Jetpack&#8217;s Publicize feature can no longer automatically publish posts to user timelines. This change also adversely affects apps like Buffer and Hootsuite that allow users to schedule and publish posts to their social accounts.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://jetpack.com/2018/07/30/jetpack-6-3-3-facebook-publicize/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Jetpack 6.3.3</a> removes the ability for users to select Facebook Profile connections and displays a notice regarding existing connections, so users will be aware of which auto-posting connections they are losing. Besides Jetpack, this Facebook API change affects tens of thousands of users who have this functionality implemented through one of many other plugins on WordPress.org.</p>\n<p>Users are now required to manually share their posts to their timelines. They can no longer schedule content to be shared to Facebook at specific times for different audiences.</p>\n<p>Auto-posting to <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/help/175644189234902/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook Pages</a> still works, and one option users have is to convert their Profile to a Page or set up a new page. This may not be a suitable alternative for bloggers and those whose writing is not attached to a business or an organization.</p>\n<p>In a recent <a href=\"https://ma.tt/2018/07/my-recode-decode-interview-with-kara-swisher/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">post</a> on his blog, Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg commented on Facebook&#8217;s decision to turn off auto-posting to profiles.</p>\n<p>&#8220;As it turns out, Facebook also is turning off the ability for WordPress sites — and all websites — to post directly to users’ profile pages,&#8221; Mullenweg said. &#8220;The decision to shut down the API is ostensibly to fight propaganda and misinformation on the platform, but I think it’s a big step back for their embrace of the open web. I hope they change their minds.&#8221;</p>\n<p>If only a select few &#8220;approved partners&#8221; are allowed to automatically broadcast to user timelines, it puts smaller players at a disadvantage, requiring manual sharing each time they publish. Facebook is setting itself up as a gatekeeper that enables news from a small selection of partners to keep pumping through the platform on schedule. Individual voices on smaller websites are no longer able to syndicate to the Facebook platform unless they decide to create a Page.</p>\n<p>Put a different way, the only syndicated content allowed on Facebook will be through channels the company can monetize &#8211; business/organization Pages or partners who are approved to post to user timelines. Users who care about retaining their Facebook audiences will need to remember to manually post their content to the social network after August 1, 2018, when the API changes go into effect.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 31 Jul 2018 22:11:30 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:33;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:50:\"Matt: My Recode Decode Interview with Kara Swisher\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:22:\"https://ma.tt/?p=48262\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:67:\"https://ma.tt/2018/07/my-recode-decode-interview-with-kara-swisher/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1780:\"<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>&#8220;We want to make the best tools in the world, and we want to do it for decades to come.

He encouraged attendees at his session to venture outside of WordCamps and said he hopes to see more collaboration across the platforms in the future.

The Gutenberg handbook has an <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/handbook/extensibility/theme-support/\">excellent article</a> on how to opt-in and add support for enhanced features.</p>\n\n<p>Most themes will present the default blocks without any issues as the blocks themselves provide their own styles. If you use a theme that does not fully support Gutenberg such as the Wide or Full Block Alignment options, the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-support-for-gutenberg/\">Theme Support for Gutenberg</a> plugin may be for you. </p>\n\n<p>Created by <a href=\"https://weavertheme.com/about/\">Weweaver</a>, Theme Support for Gutenberg claims to allow most WordPress themes to be compatible with Gutenberg. In addition to theme support, the plugin adds a Classic Editor button to the admin bar to easily switch between Gutenberg and the Classic Editor.</p>\n\n<p>Since a default WordPress theme is used to show how this plugin is beneficial, I decided to try it for myself. I installed the plugin on a fresh install of WordPress 4.9.7, Gutenberg 3.3, and the latest version of Twenty Sixteen. I published a Gutenberg Demo post which uses many of the default blocks.<br /></p>\n\n<h2>Twenty Sixteen Looks Better Without It<br /></h2>\n\n<p>Here is what the Gallery block looks like in Twenty Sixteen with the plugin disabled. The content looks good and fits within the content column.</p>\n\n<img />Theme Support for Gutenberg Disabled\n\n<p>When the plugin is enabled, the images are so large, a horizontal scroll bar appears. </p>\n\n<img />Theme Support for Gutenberg Enabled\n\n<p>The plugin includes additional styling for default blocks. One block that doesn&#8217;t benefit from the enhanced styles is the Video block. With the plugin disabled, the video block appears normally. </p>\n\n<img />Video Block With The Plugin Disabled<br />\n\n<p>With the plugin enabled, the video block overflows the content column and breaches into the left sidebar.</p>\n\n<img />Video Block With The Plugin Enabled \n\n<p>Although the plugin initially shipped with no options, version 0.2 includes new settings that provide better compatibility for some themes. I checked the box to disable Fitvids support which solved the video block issue. However, the other options had no effect on the oversized image blocks. <br /></p>\n\n<img />Theme Support Options\n\n<p>Twenty Sixteen and Twenty Seventeen do not work well with this plugin. There may be themes, particularly older ones that benefit, but more modern themes will likely be ok without it. </p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 27 Jul 2018 22:42:22 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:38;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:73:\"WPTavern: WooSesh Virtual WooCommerce Conference to be Held October 18-19\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=82508\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:84:\"https://wptavern.com/woosesh-virtual-woocommerce-conference-to-be-held-october-18-19\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4964:\"<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/woosesh-2018.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://woosesh.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">WooSesh</a>, a new two-day virtual conference focused on WooCommerce topics, will be held October 18-19. While wrapping up another successful edition of WordSesh, Brian Richards announced WooSesh as the next event coming under the WordSesh brand. On Wednesday, nearly 500 attendees joined WordSesh. People tuned in from around the world, although the audience was heavily US-based due to the time the event was scheduled.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/wordsesh-july-2018.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>Since WooConf is not happening this year, WooSesh is an exciting alternative that will be accessible to anyone in the world. Co-organizers Brian Richards and Patrick Rauland will be hosting eight presentations each day, so the event will last between 8-10 hours both days, including breaks and announcements.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Once we learned that WooConf wouldn’t be taking place this year we reached out to our friends at Automattic to see if we could work with them as well to still provide a high-quality event but for a much more global audience,&#8221; Richards said.</p>\n<p>WooCommerce is sponsoring the entire event, making it free for all live attendees. Richards said they are working with other prominent companies in the WooCommerce space who are lending their knowledgeable staff as presenters, as well as providing the event with digital swag for attendees.</p>\n<p>WooSesh organizers are employing an interesting concept for encouraging attendance and engagement. The conference will have a $200 ticket price for those who do not attend live. Those who register in advance and attend live will receive the $200 ticket for free.</p>\n<p>&#8220;That means if a person joins the mailing list and shows up for the event, they’ll be able to experience the whole thing at no cost to them,&#8221; Richards said. &#8220;Similar to WordSesh, a ticket grants attendees access to the entire broadcast, chat, recordings, real-time transcriptions, and some cool digital swag. But with WooSesh they’ll also get some targeted follow-up content, and perhaps a private community, to further help them succeed and increase the impact of this conference.</p>\n<p>&#8220;And I think it’s in everyone’s best interest to register and attend live – at least trying to make it to one of the sessions across the two days – so they can get all of that for free.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Richards said recordings may still make it out there for people to view afterwards but none of the other perks and follow-ups will be available without purchasing a ticket or attending live.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We talked about asking people for a credit card up front and building a mechanism that would either charge them after the fact (like a pre-order) or charge them up-front but then refund them after the fact,&#8221; Richards said. &#8220;Instead we’re going with the simpler route and asking only for a person’s name and email address up-front. If they come to the live event they’ll be able to access all of the content afterwards just as if they had paid, and if they don’t attend live they’ll instead be greeted with a payment form.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Building on their collective knowledge of organizing successful in-person and virtual conferences, Richards said he and his co-organizer wanted to reduce the friction as much as possible for people getting into their seats and engaged with the speakers and other attendees.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Making it a virtual event already knocks down a ton of barriers,&#8221; Richard said. &#8220;Making the content available for free eliminates even more.

The open source vector icon font is used on more than <a href=\"https://trends.builtwith.com/widgets/Font-Awesome\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">22 million sites</a> across the internet. It&#8217;s also a popular icon font with WordPress theme and plugin developers.</p>\n<p>Version 5.2 introduces automotive and education categories, which should be useful to fill the gaps for designers and developers creating sites around these subjects. The release also adds 66 new and updated icons to the Medical category and 126 new and updated Maps icons.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/medical.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>Font Awesome, originally created by Dave Gandy, is an SIL OFL-licensed icon font, with the code under the MIT License. Thanks to its GPL-friendly license, the icon font is widely used in WordPress&#8217; theme and plugin ecosystem in both commercial and free products. Font Awesome&#8217;s <a href=\"https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+wordpress\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Github issues queue</a> is also loaded with icon requests that would be used in niche WordPress themes, as well as icons for WordPress-related company logos.</p>\n<p>Two years ago, Font Awesome announced the <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/font-awesome-cdn-now-in-beta-loads-icons-asynchronously-with-automatic-accessibility-best-practices\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">beta release of its new CDN</a>, which allows developers to implement it using a single line of code to bring the icons and CSS toolkit into their projects. At that time, Font Awesome was used by more than 300 plugins on WordPress.org. In 2018, searching the official plugin directory turns up more than 800 plugins that make use of the icon font in some way. Thousands of free and commercial themes also use it to provide users with easy customization options.</p>\n<p>Font Awesome support for Gutenberg is going to be fairly important, as hundreds of thousands of websites are using plugins like <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-font-awesome/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Better Font Awesome</a>, <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/font-awesome-shortcodes/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Font Awesome Shortcodes</a>, and <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/font-awesome-4-menus/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Font Awesome for Menus</a> to allow users to add icons to content and menus.

In 2015, the Metadata UI project <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/05/27/metadata-api-project-reborn-the-new-fields-api-project/\">was reborn</a> as the <a href=\"https://github.com/sc0ttkclark/wordpress-fields-api\">Fields API</a>.</p>\n\n<p>The Fields API was developed to allow registering fields to different screens in the admin area through a single API. New meta boxes and fields within them could be added to posts while new sections and fields could be added to the profile screen.</p>\n\n<p>The goal of the API is to integrate with all of the various admin screens including, Posts, Terms, Users, Media, and Comments and provide standardization.</p>\n\n<p>Clark has been leading the project for three years and despite seeing <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wordpress-core-fields-api-project-sees-renewed-interest\">renewed interest</a> last year, <a href=\"https://wordpress.slack.com/messages/C04MWK7PZ/\">announced</a> in the project&#8217;s Slack channel that he is stepping down. <br /></p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>It is with a heavy heart that I must pass the torch on this project.

I still believe to be such a vital part of WordPress&#8217; future success.</p><cite>Scott Kingsley Clark</cite></blockquote>\n\n<h2>The Trials and Tribulations of Leading an Open Source Project</h2>\n\n<p>In the following interview, Clark explains why he feels personally responsible for the project&#8217;s lack of progress, why the API is important for WordPress&#8217; future, and reflects on what he could have done differently.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Are you looking to pass the torch on to anyone in particular?</strong><br /><br /></p>\n\n<p>No, I&#8217;m not sure who would have the drive and the clout to see the project through. It&#8217;s a large scale project that should be approached with a long-term vision but in small enough increments to make it into WordPress core. It&#8217;s a lot to ask of somebody, it&#8217;s also not a priority for people right now since they are distracted by Gutenberg being released in the near future.<br /></p>\n\n<p><strong>Why is the Fields API a vital part of WordPress&#8217; future?</strong><br /><br /></p>\n\n<p>People look at WordPress today and wonder how they ever survived without the REST API. Well, at least I know I do! The same thing can be said about the Fields API even though it&#8217;s not there yet. There are so many cases where it&#8217;s frustrating to build solutions for WordPress across all of the different hooks.<br /></p>\n\n<p>For consistency, it&#8217;s the wild west out there. You get a meta box registered and you fill it with whatever you want. You need your own CSS to style the form fields and everyone has their own idea of how this interface should look. You are in charge of your own responsive layouts that are mobile-friendly, there&#8217;s just so much you have to handle on your own. You should be able to customize appearances, but every place you want to add a field or form to should really have a proper API.<br /></p>\n\n<p>Long-term, imagine registering fields to WordPress like you register post types. Imagine fields and their configurations being available to the REST API and accessible through the WordPress App or other custom apps. </p>\n\n<p>The whole world opens up because you have a consistent API, the whole world make sense because you have a consistent interface for those fields across the various edit screens. Posts, terms, comments, users, media, even the Customizer would all have the same underlying API to add groups, panels, and fields to their screens.<br /></p>\n\n<p>If Gutenberg was done after the Fields API was in, migration for folks wouldn&#8217;t have been as difficult. Gutenberg could have automatically shown all of the Fields API interfaces like it does for the meta box backward compatibility. It would have looked so much nicer too.<br /></p>\n\n<p><strong>Taking some time to reflect, what could you have done differently to get more core contributors to buy into the project and turn it into a higher priority?</strong><br /><br /></p>\n\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure, it&#8217;s a delicate balance of taking input and being confident in the end result. At first, the feedback was about how the API was foreign for WordPress, they asked if it could be similar in structure to other APIs such as the Customizer. </p>\n\n<p>We scrapped the code and rebuilt from the ground up as a fork of the Customizer, it even supported having the Customizer utilizing the Fields API too. At the height of development, we had all areas of the Fields API implemented.<br /></p>\n\n<p>Core releases were moving pretty fast, there was a lot of code changes from WordPress release to release that we had to keep up with because we had essentially created a project that was a giant patch for WordPress. </p>\n\n<p>There weren&#8217;t enough hooks in place to do what we needed to do, and many sections were not extensible because of code decisions that marked themselves as &#8216;final&#8217;, which means you can&#8217;t extend a specific class to customize how it works.<br /></p>\n\n<p>I wish I could have been at all the big WordCamps in the US and Europe, essentially lobbying for this feature. Gathering supporters and such, it feels like politics in a way. I hung around in Core dev meetings, trying to bring it up. I tried to legitimize the feature by having a dedicated channel in the official WordPress Slack, posting updates on<a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/\"> https://make.wordpress.org/core/</a>, and holding weekly meetings.<br /></p>\n\n<p>Ultimately, I prioritized my time for development over the time to gather the troops. That was the downfall, I began to burn out quickly after the first few rewrites as I had many other responsibilities elsewhere on top of Fields API.</p>\n\n<p>It’s not like companies will easily want to pay you to work on a project like this indefinitely, even though both WebDevStudios and 10up gave me time to push it forward. It wasn’t a blank check, at some point I had to get back to billable work. From then on, it was all in my free time and that was difficult to manage during times of financial stress and house selling/buying.<br /></p>\n\n<p><strong>There&#8217;s demand for a Fields API in core but not enough hands to build it. Why do you think that is?</strong><br /><br /></p>\n\n<p>Everyone is focused elsewhere. There’s a lot of areas of WordPress that need people’s attention. There are things like Accessibility that deserve a lot more attention than it gets. But the focus to me, seems to be on Gutenberg and REST API. </p>\n\n<p>Gutenberg especially has been a huge time sink for people contributing and people implementing. It’s a really large feature. It’s definitely larger in scale than Fields API, it’s like a whole new app that lives in WordPress. Integration with it has required a lot of education and trial/error. People’s focus is where it needs to be right now. It’s just unfortunate that Gutenberg came before Fields API in terms of priority and interest level.<br /></p>\n\n<p><strong>What advice would you give to the next Fields API project leader?</strong><br /><br /></p>\n\n<p>This is a big project, everyone will want to say it should be a certain way. You have to evaluate the options and put forth something bite sized for core to start with. Build upon that, but never lose sight of the long-term goal of integration across all of the WordPress screens. Even the front-end comment forms could thrive with the Fields API.<br /></p>\n\n<p><strong>Why do you feel personally responsible for the project not being a core priority?</strong><br /><br /></p>\n\n<p>At one point, we had momentum. We had at least three to four people who were active. It fell apart because I ran out of time. It’s my shortsightedness, it’s my fault. I spent hundreds of hours developing the project over a couple of years. I should have left myself much more time for organizing the feature proposal text and keeping the fires burning in our contributors’ hearts.<br /></p>\n\n<p><strong>Considering the time and effort you&#8217;ve put into the project the last few years, do you feel any sense of relief passing the torch on?</strong><br /><br /></p>\n\n<p>If the torch gets passed or picked up, I will feel a ton better. The main relief is that it’s officially not a weight I have to carry alone any longer. It’s okay to try and fail, it’s still sad though. </p>\n\n<p>I hope that someone or some company steps up and puts time into this. They could even reignite the fire in my own heart that burned itself out. For now, I have one less major to-do item. I still have a hefty plate but it’s no longer as heavy of a burden.</p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" />\n\n<p>While the immediate future of the project is unclear, those interested in taking it over are encouraged to read posts marked with the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/fields-api/\">Fields API tag</a> on <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core\">Make.WordPress.Core</a> to learn about its history.

His concern is that if Google succeeds, it might &#8220;make a lot of the web&#8217;s history inaccessible.&#8221;</p>\n<p>&#8220;Google makes a popular browser and is a tech industry leader,&#8221; Winer said. &#8220;They can, they believe, encircle the web, and at first warn users as they access HTTP content. Very likely they will do more, requiring the user to consent to open a page, and then to block the pages outright.&#8221;</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BTW, if I had to guess, the *real* reason Google hates HTTP has to do with Google\'s ad revenue, and not wanting Verizon and Comcast to remove their ads and replace them with their own. <img src=\"https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/1f61c.png\" alt=\"?\" class=\"wp-smiley\" /></p>\n<p>&mdash; scripting.com (@davewiner) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/davewiner/status/1021500417241427968?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 23, 2018</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<p>Others have speculated that another driving factor behind Google&#8217;s push for HTTPS adoption may be its investment in <a href=\"https://www.i-programmer.info/news/87-web-development/11367-google-starts-its-push-to-progressive-web-apps-bye-bye-chrome-apps.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">advancing PWA technologies</a>, which require HTTPS to be enabled. Last year <a href=\"https://www.zdnet.com/article/google-removes-chrome-apps-from-chrome-web-store/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Google dumped Chrome apps from the Chrome Web Store</a> in favor of building PWAs that can be installed on the desktop. HTTPS is a requirement for the permission workflows, new features, and updated APIs that the company is using to build its future products.</p>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to see how HTTPS is critical for e-commerce, banking, and other sites that collect highly sensitive data from users, but many wonder if it is necessary for simple blogs and content websites. Google contends that <a href=\"https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/security/encrypt-in-transit/why-https\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">all websites need HTTPS protection</a> to prevent intruders from injecting ads or exploits.</p>\n<p>Few would dispute the value of HTTPS but critics are wary of Google establishing itself as the arbiter of safe browsing on the web.</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">My blog, <a href=\"https://t.co/gPQ9VPYOLB\">https://t.co/gPQ9VPYOLB</a>, is not “not secure.” It uses the standard protocol of the web, HTTP.

In Google&#8217;s feverish quest to push the entire web to adopt HTTPS, sites that are holding fast to HTTP on principle now appear as a sort of protest.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Screen-Shot-2018-07-24-at-5.49.33-PM.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>&#8220;This blog and all my other sites use HTTP,&#8221; Winer said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t see that changing. I expect this will make writing for the web more of a chore. That&#8217;s life I guess. I don&#8217;t want Google to be able to mold the web to its needs. I never signed on to being a Google developer, and never would. Basic rule: Google is a guest on the web, as we all are, and guests don&#8217;t make the rules.&#8221;</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 24 Jul 2018 23:07:54 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:47;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:32:\"Mark Jaquith: Page Links To v3.0\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:40:\"http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/?p=5675\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:59:\"https://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2018/07/23/page-links-to/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2482:\"<p>Today I pushed an update to my redirect and repointing plugin, <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-links-to/\">Page Links To</a>. Tomorrow, this plugin will have been in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory for 13 years (it was the 339th plugin in the WordPress plugin repository; there are now over 75,000!).</p>\n<p>To celebrate its transition to a teenager, I&#8217;ve added some new features and UI enhancements.</p>\n<p>Last month, I received survey responses from over 800 Page Links To users and learned a lot about how it&#8217;s being put to work. One of the most interesting things I found was how many people are using it for URL redirects. For example, they might have a really long URL on their own site or someone else&#8217;s site that they want to be nice. <em>example.com/summer-sale</em> instead of <em>example.com/store/specials.aspx?season=summer&amp;_utm_source=internal</em>. But in order to create these redirects, you have to go through the cluttered and sometimes slow post creation screen. All you really need to create a redirect is a title, a destination URL, and a local short URL.</p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll now find a menu item &#8220;Add Page Link&#8221; that will allow you to quickly add a redirected Page without having to wait for the entire WordPress post editing interface to load. It&#8217;s <em>super</em> fast, and it doesn&#8217;t redirect you away from the screen you&#8217;re on.</p>\n<p><img /></p>\n<p>Since short URLs are better for sharing (and remembering), the UI will give you a little push to shorten the URL if the one generated from your title is too long. From there, you can Save Draft or Publish.</p>\n<img />Hey, that URL is getting a bit long\n<img />Custom slug, for a better short URL\n<p>Additionally, this release includes a &#8220;link&#8221; indicator on post and page list screens, so you can easily see what items have been re-pointed with Page Links To. When hovered, the link icon will reveal the destination URL for a quick view.</p>\n<img />The &#8220;link&#8221; icon means that this item has been pointed elsewhere.\n<p>If you want to grab the &#8220;local&#8221; short URL (which will be redirected to your chosen URL when someone visits it), just click &#8220;Copy Short URL&#8221; from the actions, and it&#8217;ll be in your clipboard.</p>\n<img />Hover the &#8220;link&#8221; icon to see where it&#8217;s pointing.\n<p>That&#8217;s it for version 3.0, but I&#8217;ll have more to announce soon — stay tuned!</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Mon, 23 Jul 2018 22:02:18 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:12:\"Mark Jaquith\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:48;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:81:\"WPTavern: Thoughts From Two Founders Who Recently Sold Their WordPress Businesses\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=82531\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:92:\"https://wptavern.com/thoughts-from-two-founders-who-recently-sold-their-wordpress-businesses\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2299:\"<p>Last month, <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wp-engine-acquires-studiopress\">WP Engine acquired StudioPress</a>. Brian Gardner, founder of StudioPress, recently <a href=\"https://authentik.com/sell/\">shared his thoughts</a> on why he didn&#8217;t want to sell the business, but did. </p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Making a decision that not only affects your livelihood, the livelihood of your partners and employees, and the livelihood of an entire community isn’t for the faint of heart.
