This was true when Joost wrote his original <a href=\"https://yoast.com/articles/wordpress-seo/\" rel=\"nofollow\">WordPress SEO</a> article in 2008 (updated every few months) and it’s still true today, but that doesn’t mean you can’t improve it further! This plugin is written from the ground up by Joost de Valk and his team at <a href=\"https://yoast.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Yoast</a> to improve your site’s SEO on <em>all</em> needed aspects. While this <a href=\"https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Yoast SEO plugin</a> goes the extra mile to take care of all the technical optimization, more on that below, it first and foremost helps you write better content. Yoast SEO forces you to choose a focus keyword when you’re writing your articles, and then makes sure you use that focus keyword everywhere.</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Premium Support</strong><br />\n The Yoast team does not always provide active support for the Yoast SEO plugin on the WordPress.org forums. One-on-one email support is available to people who bought the <a href=\"https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo-premium/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Premium Yoast SEO plugin</a> only.<br />\n Note that the Premium SEO plugin has several extra features too, including the option to have multiple focus keywords and a redirect manager, so it might be well worth your investment!</p>\n<p>You should also check out the <a href=\"https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/local-seo/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Yoast Local SEO</a>, <a href=\"https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/news-seo/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Yoast News SEO</a> and <a href=\"https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/video-seo/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Yoast Video SEO</a> extensions to Yoast SEO. These of course come with support too.</p>\n<p><strong>Bug Reports</strong><br />\n Bug reports for Yoast SEO are <a href=\"https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo\" rel=\"nofollow\">welcomed on GitHub</a>. Please note GitHub is <em>not</em> a support forum, and issues that aren’t properly qualified as bugs will be closed.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<h4>Write better content with Yoast SEO</h4>\n<p>Using the snippet preview, you can see a rendering of what your post or page will look like in the search results, whether your title is too long or too short, and whether your meta description makes sense in the context of a search result. This way the plugin will help you not only increase rankings but also increase the click through rate for organic search results.</p>\n<h4>Page Analysis</h4>\n<p>The Yoast SEO plugins <a href=\"https://yoast.com/content-seo-wordpress-linkdex/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Page Analysis</a> functionality checks simple things you’re bound to forget. It checks, for instance, if you have images in your post and whether they have an alt tag containing the focus keyword for that post. It also checks whether your posts are long enough, whether you’ve written a meta description and if that meta description contains your focus keyword, if you’ve used any subheadings within your post, etc. etc.</p>\n<p>The plugin also allows you to write meta titles and descriptions for all your category, tag and custom taxonomy archives, giving you the option to further optimize those pages.</p>\n<p>Combined, this plugin makes sure that your content is the type of content search engines will love!</p>\n<h4>Technical WordPress Search Engine Optimization</h4>\n<p>While out of the box WordPress is pretty good for SEO, it needs some tweaks here and there. This Yoast SEO plugin guides you through some of the settings needed, for instance by reminding you to enable pretty permalinks. But it also goes beyond that, by automatically optimizing and inserting the meta tags and link elements that Google and other search engines like so much:</p>\n<h4>Meta & Link Elements</h4>\n<p>With the Yoast SEO plugin you can control which pages Google shows in its search results and which pages it doesn’t show. By default, it will tell search engines to index all of your pages, including category and tag archives, but to only show the first pages in the search results. It’s not very useful for a user to end up on the third page of your “personal” category, right?</p>\n<p>WordPress itself only shows canonical link elements on single pages, but Yoast SEO makes it output canonical link elements everywhere. Google has recently announced they would also use <code>rel=\"next\"</code> and <code>rel=\"prev\"</code> link elements in the <code>head</code> section of your paginated archives. This plugin adds those automatically. See <a href=\"https://yoast.com/rel-next-prev-paginated-archives/\" rel=\"nofollow\">this post</a> for more info.</p>\n<h4>XML Sitemaps</h4>\n<p>The Yoast SEO plugin has the most advanced XML Sitemaps functionality in any WordPress plugin. Once you check the box, it automatically creates XML sitemaps and notifies Google & Bing of the sitemaps’ existence. These XML sitemaps include the images in your posts & pages too, so that your images may be found better in the search engines too.</p>\n<p>These XML Sitemaps will even work on large sites, because of how they’re created, using one index sitemap that links to sub-sitemaps for each 1,000 posts. They will also work with custom post types and custom taxonomies automatically, while giving you the option to remove those from the XML sitemap should you wish to.</p>\n<p>Because of using <a href=\"https://yoast.com/xsl-stylesheet-xml-sitemap/\" rel=\"nofollow\">XSL stylesheets for these XML Sitemaps</a>, the XML sitemaps are easily readable for the human eye too, so you can spot things that shouldn’t be in there.</p>\n<h4>RSS Optimization</h4>\n<p>Are you being outranked by scrapers? Instead of cursing at them, use them to your advantage! By automatically adding a link to your RSS feed pointing back to the original article, you’re telling the search engine where they should be looking for the original. This way, the Yoast SEO plugin increases your own chance of ranking for your chosen keywords and gets rid of scrapers in one go!</p>\n<h4>Breadcrumbs</h4>\n<p>If your theme is compatible, and themes based on for instance Genesis or by WooThemes often are, you can use the built-in Breadcrumbs functionality. This allows you to create an easy navigation that is great for both users and search engines, and will support the search engines in understanding the structure of your site.</p>\n<p>Making your theme compatible isn’t hard either, check <a href=\"https://kb.yoast.com/kb/implement-wordpress-seo-breadcrumbs/\" rel=\"nofollow\">these instructions</a>.</p>\n<h4>Edit your .htaccess and robots.txt file</h4>\n<p>Using the built-in file editor, you can edit your WordPress blog’s <code>.htaccess</code> and <code>robots.txt</code> file, giving you direct access to the two most powerful files, from an SEO perspective, in your WordPress install.</p>\n<h4>Social Integration</h4>\n<p>SEO and Social Media are heavily intertwined. That’s why this plugin also comes with a Facebook OpenGraph implementation and will soon also support Google+ sharing tags.</p>\n<h4>Multi-Site Compatible</h4>\n<p>The Yoast SEO plugin, unlike some others, is fully Multi-Site compatible. The XML Sitemaps work fine in all setups and you even have the option, in the Network settings, to copy the settings from one blog to another, or make blogs default to the settings for a specific blog.</p>\n<h4>Import & Export functionality</h4>\n<p>If you have multiple blogs, setting up plugins like this one on all of them might seem like a daunting task. Except that it’s not, because what you can do is simple: you set up the plugin once. You then export your settings and simply import them on all your other sites. It’s that simple!</p>\n<h4>Import functionality for other WordPress SEO plugins</h4>\n<p>If you’ve used All In One SEO Pack or HeadSpace2 before using this plugin, you might want to import all your old titles and descriptions. You can do that easily using the built-in import functionality. There’s also import functionality for some of the older Yoast plugins, like Robots Meta and RSS footer.</p>\n<p>Should you have a need to import from another SEO plugin to Yoast SEO, or from a theme like Genesis or Thesis, you can use the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/seo-data-transporter/\" rel=\"nofollow\">SEO Data Transporter</a> plugin, which will easily convert your SEO meta data from and to a whole set of plugins like Platinum SEO, SEO Ultimate, Greg’s High Performance SEO, and themes like Headway, Hybrid, WooFramework, Catalyst etc.</p>\n<p>Read <a href=\"https://yoast.com/all-in-one-seo-pack-migration/\" rel=\"nofollow\">this migration guide</a> if you still have questions about migrating from another SEO plugin to Yoast SEO.</p>\n<h4>Yoast SEO Plugin in your Language!</h4>\n<p>Currently a huge translation project is underway, translating Yoast SEO in as much as 24 languages. So far, the translations for French and Dutch are complete, but we still need help on a lot of other languages, so if you’re good at translating, please join us at <a href=\"http://translate.yoast.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">translate.yoast.com</a>.</p>\n<h4>News SEO</h4>\n<p>Be sure to also check out the premium <a href=\"https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/news-seo/\" rel=\"nofollow\">News SEO module</a> if you need Google News Sitemaps.

I’m getting out of memory errors or a blank screen.</dt>\n<dd>\n<p>If your exported file is very large, the import script may run into your host’s configured memory limit for PHP.</p>\n<p>A message like “Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted” indicates that the script can’t successfully import your XML file under the current PHP memory limit. If you have access to the php.ini file, you can manually increase the limit; if you do not (your WordPress installation is hosted on a shared server, for instance), you might have to break your exported XML file into several smaller pieces and run the import script one at a time.</p>\n<p>For those with shared hosting, the best alternative may be to consult hosting support to determine the safest approach for running the import. A host may be willing to temporarily lift the memory limit and/or run the process directly from their end.</p>\n<p>— <a href=\"https://codex.wordpress.org/Importing_Content#Before_Importing\" rel=\"nofollow\">WordPress Codex: Importing Content</a></p>\n</dd>\n</dl>\n<p><!--section=changelog--></p>\n<h4>0.6.3</h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Add support for import term metadata.</li>\n<li>Fix bug that caused slashes to be stripped from imported content.</li>\n<li>Fix bug that caused characters to be stripped inside of CDATA in some cases.</li>\n<li>Fix PHP notices.</li>\n</ul>\n<h4>0.6.2</h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Add wp_import_existing_post filter.

It’s all under your control.</p>\n<p>One of the biggest risks of using a hosted eCommerce platform is what happens to your store if the provider closes up shop. With WooCommerce, you have complete control, so there’s never any reason to worry. Your data belongs to you — and it’s kept secure, thanks to regular audits by industry leaders.</p>\n<h4>Define your style with Storefront</h4>\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/themes/storefront/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Storefront</a> is a free WordPress theme available to any WooCommerce store. Along with deep WooCommerce integration, Storefront prioritizes speed and uptime while eliminating theme and plugin conflicts during major updates.</p>\n<p>Define your style even further by customizing Storefront to your liking or choosing from one of our several <a href=\"https://woocommerce.com/product-category/themes/storefront-child-theme-themes/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Storefront child themes</a>. It’s all up to you, and all open source.</p>\n<h4>Built with developers in mind</h4>\n<p>Extendable, adaptable, and open source — WooCommerce was created with developers in mind. With its strong, robust framework, you can scale your client’s store all the way from basic to high-end (infinity and beyond).</p>\n<p>Built with a REST API, WooCommerce can integrate with virtually any service. Your store’s data can be accessed anywhere, anytime, 100% securely. WooCommerce allows developers to easily create, modify, and grow a store that meets their specifications.</p>\n<p>No matter the size of the store you want to build, WooCommerce will scale to meet your requirements. With a growing collection of more than 300 extensions, you can enhance each store’s features to meet your client’s unique needs — or even create your own solution.</p>\n<p>If security is a concern, rest easy. WooCommerce is audited by a dedicated team of developers working around the clock to identify and patch any and all discovered bugs.</p>\n<p>We also support WooCommerce and all its extensions with comprehensive, easily-accessible documentation. With our docs, you’ll learn how to create the exact site your client needs.</p>\n<h4>Extensions galore</h4>\n<p>WordPress.org is home to some amazing extensions for WooCommerce, including:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-google-analytics-integration/\">Google Analytics</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-delivery-notes/\">Delivery Notes</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-pdf-invoices-packing-slips/\">PDF Invoices and Packing Slips</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/affiliates-woocommerce-light/\">Affiliates Integration Light</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-new-product-badge/\">New Product Badges</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Keen to see them all?

Once you’ve found our eCommerce plugin you can view details about it such as the point release, rating and description. Most importantly of course, you can install it by simply clicking “Install Now”.</p>\n<h4>Manual installation</h4>\n<p>The manual installation method involves downloading our eCommerce plugin and uploading it to your webserver via your favourite FTP application.

That should return things to normal.</p>\n<h4>Dummy data</h4>\n<p>WooCommerce comes with some dummy data you can use to see how products look; either import dummy_data.xml via the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-importer/\">WordPress importer</a> or use our <a href=\"https://woocommerce.com/products/product-csv-import-suite/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CSV Import Suite plugin</a> to import dummy_data.csv and dummy_data_variations.csv.</p>\n<p><!--section=faq--></p>\n<dl>\n<dt>Installation Instructions</dt>\n<dd>\n<h4>Minimum Requirements</h4>\n<ul>\n<li>PHP version 5.2.4 or greater (PHP 5.6 or greater is recommended)</li>\n<li>MySQL version 5.0 or greater (MySQL 5.6 or greater is recommended)</li>\n<li>Some payment gateways require fsockopen support (for IPN access)</li>\n<li>WooCommerce 2.5 requires WordPress 4.1+</li>\n<li>WooCommerce 2.6 requires WordPress 4.4+</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Visit the <a href=\"https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/server-requirements/\" rel=\"nofollow\">WooCommerce server requirements documentation</a> for a detailed list of server requirements.</p>\n<h4>Automatic installation</h4>\n<p>Automatic installation is the easiest option as WordPress handles the file transfers itself and you don’t need to leave your web browser.

This can be made with a cron job for example.)</li>\n<li>Improved compatibility with other plugins (There should no longer be problems with other plugins now which checked for existence of a specified function to determine if you are in the control panel or not.)</li>\n<li>Recoded plugin architecture which is now fully OOP (The code is now cleaner and better to understand which makes it easier to modify. This should also avoid namespace problems.)</li>\n<li>Improved speed and optimized settings handling (Settings and pages are only loaded if the sitemap generation process starts and not every time a page loads. This saves one MySQL Query on every request.)</li>\n<li>Added Button to restore default configuration (Messed up the config? You’ll need just one click to restore all settings.)</li>\n<li>Added log file to check everything is running (In the new log window you can see when your sitemap was rebuilt or if there was any error.)</li>\n<li>Improved user-interface</li>\n<li>Added several links to homepage and support (This includes the Notify List about new releases and the WordPress support forum.)</li>\n</ul>\n<h4>2.7 (2005-11-25)</h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Added Polish Translation by <a href=\"http://kubazwolinski.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\">kuba</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h4>2.7 (2005-11-01)</h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Added French Translation by <a href=\"http://www.chezthierry.info/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Thierry Lanfranchi</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h4>2.7 (2005-07-21)</h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed bug with incorrect date in additional pages (wrong format)</li>\n<li>Added Swedish Translation by <a href=\"http://tobiasbergius.se/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Tobias Bergius</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h4>2.6 (2005-07-16)</h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Included Chinese (Simplified) language files by <a href=\"http://www.june6.cn/\" rel=\"nofollow\">june6</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h4>2.6 (2005-07-04)</h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Added support to store the files at a custom location</li>\n<li>Changed the home URL to have a slash at the end</li>\n<li>Fixed errors with wp-mail</li>\n<li>Added support for other plugins to add content to the sitemap</li>\n</ul>\n<h4>2.5 (2005-06-15)</h4>\n<ul>\n<li>You can include now external pages which aren’t generated by WordPress or are not recognized by this plugin</li>\n<li>You can define a minimum post priority, which will overrride the calculated value if it’s too low</li>\n<li>The plugin will automatically ping Google whenever the sitemap gets regenerated</li>\n<li>Update 1: Included Spanish translations by <a href=\"http://www.cesargomez.org/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Cesar Gomez Martin</a></li>\n<li>Update 2: Included Italian translations by <a href=\"http://wordpress-it.it/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Stefano Aglietti</a></li>\n<li>Update 3: Included Traditional Chinese translations by <a href=\"http://kirin-lin.idv.tw/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Kirin Lin</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h4>2.2 (2005-06-08)</h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Language file support: <a href=\"http://hiromasa.zone.ne.jp/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Hiromasa</a> from <a href=\"http://hiromasa.zone.ne.jp/\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://hiromasa.zone.ne.jp</a> sent me a japanese version of the user interface and modified the script to support it!

Please upgrade immediately.</p>\n<p>“Auth cookies” are special cookies set at login that authenticating you to the system. It is how WordPress “remembers” that you are logged in between page loads.</p>\n<p>During lockout these are supposed to be cleared, but a change in 1.6.2 broke this. It allowed an attacker to keep trying to break these cookies during a lockout.</p>\n<p>Lockout of normal password login attempts still worked as it should, and it appears that all “auth cookie” attempts would keep getting logged.</p>\n<p>In theory the “auth cookie” is quite resistant to brute force attack. It contains a cryptographic hash of the user password, and the difficulty to break it is not based on the password strength but instead on the cryptographic operations used and the length of the hash value. In theory it should take many many years to break this hash. As theory and practice does not always agree it is still a good idea to have working lockouts of any such attempts.</p>\n<h4>1.7.0</h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Added filter that allows whitelisting IP. Please use with care!!</li>\n<li>Update to Spanish translation, thanks to Marcelo Pedra</li>\n<li>Updated Swedish translation</li>\n<li>Tested against WordPress 3.3.2</li>\n</ul>\n<h4>1.6.2</h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Fix bug where log would not get updated after it had been cleared</li>\n<li>Do plugin setup in ‘init’ action</li>\n<li>Small update to Spanish translation file, thanks to Marcelo Pedra</li>\n<li>Tested against WordPress 3.2.1</li>\n</ul>\n<h4>1.6.1</h4>\n<ul>\n<li>(WordPress 3.0+) An invalid cookie can sometimes get sent multiple times before it gets cleared, resulting in multiple failed attempts or even a lockout from a single invalid cookie.

allows you to sell anything, beautifully. Built to integrate seamlessly with WordPress, WooCommerce is the world’s favorite eCommerce solution that gives both store owners and developers complete control.</p>\n<p>With endless flexibility and access to hundreds of free and premium WordPress extensions, WooCommerce now powers 30% of all online stores — more than any other platform.</p>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\'youtube-player\' type=\'text/html\' width=\'640\' height=\'390\' src=\'https://www.youtube.com/embed/1KahlicghaE?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent\' allowfullscreen=\'true\' style=\'border:0;\'></iframe></span>\n<h4>Sell anything, anywhere</h4>\n<p>With WooCommerce, you can sell both physical and digital goods in all shapes and sizes, offer product variations, multiple configurations, and instant downloads to shoppers, and even sell affiliate goods from online marketplaces.</p>\n<p>With premium extensions, you can offer bookings, memberships, and recurring subscriptions. Perhaps you’d like to sell monthly subscriptions for physical goods, or offer your members a discount on digital downloads? It’s all possible.</p>\n<h4>Ship wherever you like</h4>\n<p>Offer free shipping, flat rate shipping, or make real-time calculations. Limit your shipments to specific countries, or open your store up to the world. Shipping is highly configurable, and WooCommerce even supports drop shipping.</p>\n<h4>Extensive payment options</h4>\n<p>WooCommerce comes bundled with the ability to accept major credit cards, PayPal, BACS (bank transfers), and cash on delivery. Need additional options? More than 140 region-specific gateways integrate with WooCommerce, including popular choices like Stripe, Authorize.Net, and Amazon Payments.</p>\n<h4>You control it all — forever</h4>\n<p>WooCommerce gives you complete control of your store, from taxes to stock levels to customer accounts. Add and remove extensions, change your design, and switch settings as you please. It’s all under your control.</p>\n<p>One of the biggest risks of using a hosted eCommerce platform is what happens to your store if the provider closes up shop. With WooCommerce, you have complete control, so there’s never any reason to worry. Your data belongs to you — and it’s kept secure, thanks to regular audits by industry leaders.</p>\n<h4>Define your style with Storefront</h4>\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/themes/storefront/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Storefront</a> is a free WordPress theme available to any WooCommerce store. Along with deep WooCommerce integration, Storefront prioritizes speed and uptime while eliminating theme and plugin conflicts during major updates.</p>\n<p>Define your style even further by customizing Storefront to your liking or choosing from one of our several <a href=\"https://woocommerce.com/product-category/themes/storefront-child-theme-themes/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Storefront child themes</a>. It’s all up to you, and all open source.</p>\n<h4>Built with developers in mind</h4>\n<p>Extendable, adaptable, and open source — WooCommerce was created with developers in mind. With its strong, robust framework, you can scale your client’s store all the way from basic to high-end (infinity and beyond).</p>\n<p>Built with a REST API, WooCommerce can integrate with virtually any service. Your store’s data can be accessed anywhere, anytime, 100% securely. WooCommerce allows developers to easily create, modify, and grow a store that meets their specifications.</p>\n<p>No matter the size of the store you want to build, WooCommerce will scale to meet your requirements. With a growing collection of more than 300 extensions, you can enhance each store’s features to meet your client’s unique needs — or even create your own solution.</p>\n<p>If security is a concern, rest easy. WooCommerce is audited by a dedicated team of developers working around the clock to identify and patch any and all discovered bugs.</p>\n<p>We also support WooCommerce and all its extensions with comprehensive, easily-accessible documentation. With our docs, you’ll learn how to create the exact site your client needs.</p>\n<h4>Extensions galore</h4>\n<p>WordPress.org is home to some amazing extensions for WooCommerce, including:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-google-analytics-integration/\">Google Analytics</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-delivery-notes/\">Delivery Notes</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-pdf-invoices-packing-slips/\">PDF Invoices and Packing Slips</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/affiliates-woocommerce-light/\">Affiliates Integration Light</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-new-product-badge/\">New Product Badges</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Keen to see them all? Search WordPress.org for ‘WooCommerce’ to dive in.</p>\n<p>If you’re looking for something endorsed and maintained by the developers who built WooCommerce, there are a plethora of premium eCommerce extensions, the most popular of which include:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-subscriptions/\" rel=\"nofollow\">WooCommerce Subscriptions</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-memberships/\" rel=\"nofollow\">WooCommerce Memberships</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-bookings/\" rel=\"nofollow\">WooCommerce Bookings</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://woocommerce.com/products/dynamic-pricing/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Dynamic Pricing</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://woocommerce.com/products/table-rate-shipping/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Table Rate Shipping</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://woocommerce.com/products/product-csv-import-suite/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Product CSV Import Suite</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p>And there’s plenty more where they came from.

We’re one of the fastest-growing open source communities online, and whether you’re a n00b or a Ninja, we’d love to have you!</p>\n<p>If you’re interested in contributing to WooCommerce we’ve got more than 350 contributors, and there’s always room for more. Head over to the <a href=\"https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce\" rel=\"nofollow\">WooCommerce GitHub Repository</a> to find out how you can pitch in.</p>\n<p>Want to add a new language to WooCommerce? Swell!

To do an automatic install of WooCommerce, log in to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to the Plugins menu and click Add New.</p>\n<p>In the search field type “WooCommerce” and click Search Plugins. Once you’ve found our eCommerce plugin you can view details about it such as the point release, rating and description. Most importantly of course, you can install it by simply clicking “Install Now”.</p>\n<h4>Manual installation</h4>\n<p>The manual installation method involves downloading our eCommerce plugin and uploading it to your webserver via your favourite FTP application. The WordPress codex contains <a href=\"https://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Manual_Plugin_Installation\" rel=\"nofollow\">instructions on how to do this here</a>.</p>\n<h4>Updating</h4>\n<p>Automatic updates should work like a charm; as always though, ensure you backup your site just in case.</p>\n<p>If on the off-chance you do encounter issues with the shop/category pages after an update you simply need to flush the permalinks by going to WordPress > Settings > Permalinks and hitting ‘save’. That should return things to normal.</p>\n<h4>Dummy data</h4>\n<p>WooCommerce comes with some dummy data you can use to see how products look; either import dummy_data.xml via the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-importer/\">WordPress importer</a> or use our <a href=\"https://woocommerce.com/products/product-csv-import-suite/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CSV Import Suite plugin</a> to import dummy_data.csv and dummy_data_variations.csv.</p>\n\";s:3:\"faq\";s:4534:\"\n<h4>Installation Instructions</h4>\n<p>\n<h4>Minimum Requirements</h4>\n<ul>\n<li>PHP version 5.2.4 or greater (PHP 5.6 or greater is recommended)</li>\n<li>MySQL version 5.0 or greater (MySQL 5.6 or greater is recommended)</li>\n<li>Some payment gateways require fsockopen support (for IPN access)</li>\n<li>WooCommerce 2.5 requires WordPress 4.1+</li>\n<li>WooCommerce 2.6 requires WordPress 4.4+</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Visit the <a href=\"https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/server-requirements/\" rel=\"nofollow\">WooCommerce server requirements documentation</a> for a detailed list of server requirements.</p>\n<h4>Automatic installation</h4>\n<p>Automatic installation is the easiest option as WordPress handles the file transfers itself and you don’t need to leave your web browser.

The WordPress codex contains <a href=\"https://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Manual_Plugin_Installation\" rel=\"nofollow\">instructions on how to do this here</a>.</p>\n<h4>Updating</h4>\n<p>Automatic updates should work like a charm; as always though, ensure you backup your site just in case.</p>\n<p>If on the off-chance you do encounter issues with the shop/category pages after an update you simply need to flush the permalinks by going to WordPress > Settings > Permalinks and hitting ‘save’. That should return things to normal.</p>\n<h4>Dummy data</h4>\n<p>WooCommerce comes with some dummy data you can use to see how products look; either import dummy_data.xml via the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-importer/\">WordPress importer</a> or use our <a href=\"https://woocommerce.com/products/product-csv-import-suite/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CSV Import Suite plugin</a> to import dummy_data.csv and dummy_data_variations.csv.</p>\n</p>\n<h4>Where can I find WooCommerce documentation and user guides?</h4>\n<p>\n<p>For help setting up and configuring WooCommerce please refer to our <a href=\"https://docs.woocommerce.com/documentation/plugins/woocommerce/getting-started/\" rel=\"nofollow\">user guide</a></p>\n<p>For extending or theming WooCommerce, see our <a href=\"https://docs.woocommerce.com/documentation/plugins/woocommerce/woocommerce-codex/\" rel=\"nofollow\">codex</a>.</p>\n</p>\n<h4>Where can I get support or talk to other users?</h4>\n<p>\n<p>If you get stuck, you can ask for help in the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce\" rel=\"nofollow\">WooCommerce Plugin Forum</a>.</p>\n<p>For help with premium extensions from WooThemes, use <a href=\"https://support.woothemes.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\">our helpdesk</a>.</p>\n</p>\n<h4>Will WooCommerce work with my theme?</h4>\n<p>\n<p>Yes; WooCommerce will work with any theme, but may require some styling to make it match nicely.

(If you are looking for more active support, might we suggest buying a PRO license? Our team hits the <a href=\"http://m.tri.be/2r\" rel=\"nofollow\">Premium Forums</a> daily.)</p>\n<p>Some things to consider before posting on the forum:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Look through existing threads before posting a new one and check that there isn’t already a discussion going on for your issue.</li>\n<li>Your issue will be solved more quickly if you run a few checks before making a support request. Deactivate your plugins one by one – if the issue is fixed by deactivating a plugin you know you’ve got a plugin conflict. To test your Theme, revert to the default Twenty Twelve Theme to see if you are still experiencing the problem. If not, your Theme is the issue. Please provide this information when making your support request.</li>\n<li>Sometimes, just resetting your permalinks can fix the issue. Visit Events -> Settings -> Permalinks, save your permalinks with a different option and then save with your preferred choice again.

If you’re running Events Calendar PRO it needs to match the version number of The Events Calendar. And if you’ve got any other add-ons, make sure those are current / running the latest code as well.</p>\n<p>The most common issues we see are either plugin or theme conflicts. You can test if a plugin or theme is conflicting by manually deactivating other plugins until just The Events Calendar is running on your site. If the issue persists from there, revert to the default Twenty Fourteen theme. If the issue is resolved after deactivating a specific plugin or your theme, you’ll know that is the source of the conflict.</p>\n<p>Note that we aren’t going to say “tough luck” if you identify a plugin/theme conflict. While we can’t guarantee 100% integration with any plugin or theme out there, we will do our best (and reach out the plugin/theme author as needed) to figure out a solution that benefits everyone.</p>\n</p>\n<h4>I’m still stuck. Where do I go to file a bug or ask a question?</h4>\n<p>\n<p>Users of the free The Events Calendar should post their questions in the plugin’s <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/the-events-calendar/\" rel=\"nofollow\">WordPress.org forum</a>, which we hit about once a week (usually on Wednesdays). Please make sure to read <a href=\"http://m.tri.be/19oc\" rel=\"nofollow\">our sticky post</a> providing an overview of the support we provide free users BEFORE posting. If you find you’re not getting support in as timely a fashion as you wish, you might want to consider purchasing a PRO license.</p>\n<p>If you’re already a PRO user, you’re entitled access to our more actively-monitored <a href=\"http://m.tri.be/2r\" rel=\"nofollow\">Events Calendar PRO forum</a> on our website. We can provide a deeper level of support here and hit these forums on a daily basis during the work week. Generally, except in times of increased support loads, we reply to all comments within 24-48 hours during the business week.</p>\n</p>\n<h4>Events Calendar PRO looks awesome! I’m sold! How can I get my hands on it?</h4>\n<p>\n<p>Events Calendar PRO can be purchased directly on <a href=\"http://m.tri.be/18wi\" rel=\"nofollow\">our website</a>. There are five (5) license types available, and all licenses include 1 year of access to support + updates.</p>\n</p>\n<h4>I’m interested in PRO or another add-on, but there are a few questions I’ve got before making the purchase. Can you help me get those addressed?</h4>\n<p>\n<p>Absolutely. If you’re not finding your questions answered on the product pages, hit up our <a href=\"http://m.tri.be/2w\" rel=\"nofollow\">pre-sales forum</a> on our site. You can save yourself some time by reviewing the threads first to verify if your question has already been asked. If it hasn’t, post a new thread as a guest. We’ll get you a reply as quickly as we can, so you can make an informed decision regarding purchase.</p>\n</p>\n<h4>What add-ons are available for The Events Calendar, and where can I read more about them?</h4>\n<p>\n<p>Currently, the following add-ons are available for The Events Calendar:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http://m.tri.be/18wi\" rel=\"nofollow\">Events Calendar PRO</a>, for adding premium calendar features like recurring events, advanced views, cool widgets, shortcodes, additional fields, and more!</li>\n<li><a href=\"http://m.tri.be/197u\" rel=\"nofollow\">Event Aggregator</a>, a service that effortlessly fills your calendar with events from Facebook, Meetup, Google Calendar, iCalendar, CSV, and ICS.</li>\n<li><a href=\"http://m.tri.be/18wj\" rel=\"nofollow\">Event Tickets</a> (free), which allows you to collect RSVPs to events.

That platform, of course, is WordPress!</p>\n<p>In this post, we will look at six reasons why WordPress should be the go-to publishing choice for your website, but first of all, let’s look at exactly what WordPress is, along with a little back history.</p>\n<h2>What Is WordPress?</h2>\n<figure><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-403465\" src=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/wordpress-logo-1.png\" alt=\"WordPress logo\" width=\"1080\" height=\"246\" srcset=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/wordpress-logo-1.png 1080w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/wordpress-logo-1-300x68.png 300w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/wordpress-logo-1-768x175.png 768w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/wordpress-logo-1-1024x233.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" /></figure>\n<p>Put simply, WordPress is a platform for publishing self-hosted websites. Its interface is accessed through your web browser and other than using a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client for the initial install, WordPress offers you everything you need to publish your content. In fact, if you <a href=\"https://theme-fusion.com/hosting/\" target=\"_blank\">choose the right host</a>, you wouldn’t even need an FTP client.</p>\n<p>WordPress was first launched in 2003 by two developers who wanted a better solution for publishing their blog content (<a href=\"http://ma.tt/\" target=\"_blank\">Matt Mullenweg</a> and <a href=\"https://mikelittle.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Mike Little</a>). 13 years later, WordPress has now grown to power over <a href=\"http://w3techs.com/technologies/history_overview/content_management/all/y\" target=\"_blank\">25% of the internet</a> – with high-profile users such as <a href=\"http://techcrunch.com/\" target=\"_blank\">TechCrunch</a>, the <em><a href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Washington Post</a></em>, and <a href=\"http://www.bbcamerica.com/\" target=\"_blank\">BBC America</a>, to name a few.</p>\n<p>Its humble beginnings solely as a blogging platform are still present, but constant development has meant WordPress has evolved into a full-featured Content Management System (CMS). With developments such as the incoming <a href=\"http://v2.wp-api.org/\" target=\"_blank\">REST API</a> on the horizon, WordPress looks to become even more dominant in the future.</p>\n<p>Now we’ve briefly looked at its history, let’s take a deeper look at some of the reasons you should choose WordPress as your publishing platform.</p>\n<h2>1. WordPress Is Open-Source and Free Forever</h2>\n<p>You may have heard the term ‘open-source software’ bandied around, but might not know what it means. Quite simply, open-source means anybody can contribute to the software in question, with all of the source code freely available to download and modify. In a lot of cases, open-source software is free to use. You may already be using open-source software without realizing it, such as the <a href=\"http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">VLC media player</a>, or the <a href=\"http://www.mozilla.org/firefox\" target=\"_blank\">Firefox browser</a>:</p>\n<figure><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-403033\" src=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/mozilla-firefox-homepage.png\" alt=\"The Mozilla Firefox homepage.\" width=\"633\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/mozilla-firefox-homepage.png 1942w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/mozilla-firefox-homepage-300x184.png 300w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/mozilla-firefox-homepage-768x470.png 768w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/mozilla-firefox-homepage-1024x626.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 633px) 100vw, 633px\" /></figure>\n<p>An important aspect of WordPress’ freedom is its protection under what’s known as the <a href=\"http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html\" target=\"_blank\">GNU General Public Licence (GPL)</a>. This licence lets anybody use, share and modify the software. Also, in contrast to a standard copyright, any derived works must also be released under the GPL. What this means is WordPress is free, and will be freely available forever.</p>\n<p>While WordPress is highly unlikely to be unsupported in the future (WordPress’ parent company Automattic was <a href=\"http://time.com/88025/wordpress-parent-automattic-joins-the-billion-dollar-club/\" target=\"_blank\">recently valued at $1–2 Billion</a>, and the CMS is the cornerstone of their business), its open-source nature means other developers are free to take over the project if development is halted. Plus, because of the GPL, they too would have to make their work freely available.</p>\n<h2>2. You Don’t Have to Be a Web Developer</h2>\n<p>There are a multitude of ways in which WordPress’ design makes it easy to create pages and content, all without requiring any coding experience. In WordPress, each page or post is created using the open-source <a href=\"https://www.tinymce.com/\" target=\"_blank\">TinyMCE editor</a>. This gives WordPress the functionality of software like Microsoft Word or Google Docs, meaning styling your text with bold or italics, for example, can be done directly within the editor:</p>\n<figure><a href=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/tinymce-editor.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-403034\" src=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/tinymce-editor.png\" alt=\"An example of the TinyMCE editor.\" width=\"633\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/tinymce-editor.png 2348w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/tinymce-editor-300x107.png 300w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/tinymce-editor-768x274.png 768w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/tinymce-editor-1024x365.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 633px) 100vw, 633px\" /></a>Media can be embedded in a couple of ways. The Media Library enables you to add images using the <em>Add Media</em> button and can be resized directly within WordPress, so there’s no need for external programs such as Photoshop. ‘Under the hood’ functionality also enables you to embed video from the likes of YouTube and Vimeo:</p>\n<p><img class=\"size-full wp-image-403035 aligncenter\" src=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/video-embed-gif.gif\" alt=\"A GIF showing the video embed process in the TinyMCE editor.\" width=\"640\" height=\"365\" /></p>\n<p>There are many more examples of WordPress’ ease of use, such as the infamous <a href=\"https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Famous_5-Minute_Install\" target=\"_blank\">five-minute install</a> procedure, <a href=\"https://codex.wordpress.org/Configuring_Automatic_Background_Updates\" target=\"_blank\">automatic updates</a> and its myriad of <a href=\"https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_General_Screen\" target=\"_blank\">social sharing and user interaction</a> settings, among others, the content editing options are just the tip of the iceberg.</p>\n<h2>3. Designing Your Site Requires No Coding Skills</h2>\n<p>Your website’s overall design and layout doesn’t require the knowledge of your garden variety web developer either. For a start, WordPress includes several default themes designed to show off its core functionality. While these themes perform admirably, there are thousands of other themes to choose from, all completely free, within the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/themes/\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress Theme Directory</a>. </p>\n<p>Because they’re free, you’ll find that the quality of themes varies. However, the Theme Directory includes a five-star rating system, awarded by users, to help you make an informed choice.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-403037\" src=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wordpress-theme-directory.png\" alt=\"The WordPress.org Theme Directory\" width=\"633\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wordpress-theme-directory.png 1956w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wordpress-theme-directory-300x175.png 300w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wordpress-theme-directory-768x449.png 768w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wordpress-theme-directory-1024x599.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 633px) 100vw, 633px\" /></p>\n<p>There are also some developers who offer premium themes (i.e. ones with a cost attached) with a generally more committed development program and dedicated support. <a href=\"http://themeforest.net/\" target=\"_blank\">ThemeForest</a> is by far the largest site for purchasing premium themes and markets our very own <a href=\"https://themeforest.net/item/avada-responsive-multipurpose-theme/2833226?ref=ThemeFusion\" target=\"_blank\">Avada</a> – which is currently the number one selling theme:</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://themeforest.net/item/avada-responsive-multipurpose-theme/2833226?ref=ThemeFusion\"><img src=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/avada_wordpress_theme.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"360\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-427799\" srcset=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/avada_wordpress_theme.jpg 700w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/avada_wordpress_theme-300x154.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" /></a></figure>\n<h2>4. If You Need Extra Functionality, There’s a Plugin For That</h2>\n<p>The basic functionality of WordPress is very good and may be just what you’re looking for, but it doesn’t cover every need and want out of the box. You may need additional functionality and in WordPress this is provided by small add-ons called plugins:</p>\n<figure><a href=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/wordpress_plugins.jpg\"><img src=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/wordpress_plugins.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"710\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-427801\" srcset=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/wordpress_plugins.jpg 1100w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/wordpress_plugins-300x194.jpg 300w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/wordpress_plugins-768x496.jpg 768w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/wordpress_plugins-1024x661.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" /></a></figure>\n<p>There are thousands of plugins available for free within the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress Plugin Repository</a>, each providing different additional functionality. In some cases, such as <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/\" target=\"_blank\">Super Cache</a> and <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/\" target=\"_blank\">Yoast SEO</a>, free plugins found here can be practically essential.</p>\n<p>Similarly to themes, the premium plugin market is rich, with sites such as <a href=\"http://codecanyon.net/\" target=\"_blank\">CodeCanyon</a> offering thousands of plugins for purchase. Again, like premium themes, you’ll often find more committed development and dedicated support when compared to free options.</p>\n<h2>5. WordPress Has a Large, Strong Community</h2>\n<p>A major benefit of using WordPress is its strong, passionate, and inclusive community. The WordPress.org website has <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/\" target=\"_blank\">its own forums</a>, where users share advice and ask for help on a regular basis. If you have a question to ask, this is the place to do it! Many plugin and theme developers have support forums here for their free offerings too, so support is always at hand and you’ll more often than not, be talking directly to the developers themselves:</p>\n<figure><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-403041\" src=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wordpress-forums.png\" alt=\"The WordPress.org forums.\" width=\"633\" height=\"326\" srcset=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wordpress-forums.png 1942w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wordpress-forums-300x154.png 300w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wordpress-forums-768x395.png 768w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wordpress-forums-1024x527.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 633px) 100vw, 633px\" /></figure>\n<p>Finally, as WordPress has grown, so has its developer base. The platform attracts contributors from all manner of other fields and industries, who pool their talents to make WordPress better. Updates to WordPress itself are frequent, with a team of hundreds releasing <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/category/releases/\" target=\"_blank\">three core updates per year</a>.</p>\n<h2>6. E-Commerce Is Easy With WordPress</h2>\n<p>Unlike a hand-coded website, setting up an e-commerce solution on your WordPress website is easy when using one of a number of available plugins.</p>\n<p>One such example is <a href=\"https://www.woothemes.com/woocommerce/\" target=\"_blank\">WooCommerce</a> – currently the most popular e-commerce solution available and integrated with Avada. Its strengths lie in how fast it is to set up a store and its support from all major payment providers.</p>\n<figure><a href=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/woocommerce-homepage.jpg\"><img src=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/woocommerce-homepage.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"773\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-427803\" srcset=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/woocommerce-homepage.jpg 1200w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/woocommerce-homepage-300x193.jpg 300w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/woocommerce-homepage-768x495.jpg 768w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/woocommerce-homepage-1024x660.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" /></a></figure>\n<p>You’re not restricted to just WooCommerce though. There are other solutions available, such as <a href=\"https://easydigitaldownloads.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Easy Digital Downloads</a> (specializing in digital only products), and <a href=\"https://apps.shopify.com/shopify-for-wordpress\" target=\"_blank\">Shopify</a> as an alternative to both.</p>\n<p>Finally, while it’s not a WordPress-specific solution, by adding an open-source SSL certificate from <a href=\"https://letsencrypt.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Let’s Encrypt</a>, you could potentially build an online store with WordPress, Avada, WooCommerce, and Let’s Encrypt for very little outlay.</p>\n<h2>Next Steps</h2>\n<p>At this point, you’re probably on-board with the idea of using WordPress as the platform for publishing your website. If you’re itching to get started, here’s what to do next:<br />\n<div class=\"shortcode-list\">\n<ol>\n<li>Find a <a href=\"https://theme-fusion.com/hosting/\" target=\"_blank\">suitable web host</a> for your website that ideally offers one-click WordPress install.</li>\n<li>Look for a theme that can help you create an amazing websites with advanced options that require no coding, is constantly updated and provides 5 star customer support, such as <a href=\"https://themeforest.net/item/avada-responsive-multipurpose-theme/2833226?ref=ThemeFusion\" target=\"_blank\">Avada</a>.</li>\n<li>Browse the WordPress.org <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/\" target=\"_blank\">Plugin Directory</a> to see the scope of what plugins are available for download.</li>\n</ol>\n</div>\n<h2>Conclusion</h2>\n<p>Choosing a publishing platform for your website can be tough and choosing the wrong one means wasting time and money later, when migrating to a more suitable solution.

The major difference here is that we do not get our customer emails.</p>\n<p>First off, the two issues fixed are below, and <a href=\"https://theme-fusion.com/knowledgebase/security-fixes-added-5-1-5/\" target=\"_blank\">you can read more about them here</a> and how to update the full theme which we recommend, or manual fix for older versions</p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-list\">\n<li> FIXED: Security fix to prevent additional calls to permalink structure (XSS)</li>\n<li> FIXED: Security fix that adds AJAX request verification for Fusion Builder content importer</li>\n</div>\n<p>Our development team immediately took action to check and verify the issue at hand. Once accurately identified, our team fixed it with a patch in less than 24 hours, and the full Avada 5.1.5 update was sent out in 4 days. Confirmation of the patch release date can be found here under 5.1.4: goo.gl/NGU83S … and confirmation of the changelog release that lists out the security fixes can be found here: goo.gl/40T2gp</p>\n<p>This was a unique situation for us because it started with a person who reported this and showed us the post they would make live. While we appreciate being made know of security or bug issues, and fix them quickly, we had major concerns over how we were approached. </p>\n<p>A bounty reward was being pursued, the content of the post they were making live explained how to fully use the exploit itself, in addition questions asked to hide those portions of the content were asked and we answered, but were ignored. The person hid their identity, ignored our requests and even published the post early. Most shockingly is the creator of that site had a script running that automatically creates their email as an admin user for the sites it’s run on. You can view this in their comments. While the script appears to be changed, even having such a thing should give anyone caution. We had no clue who we were dealing with, but clearly this was wrong. Anyone using Avada should check their user area of WP Admin and verify you know of all users listed.</p>\n<p><strong>There are several important factors to note:</strong></p>\n<p><strong>1.</strong> We (ThemeFusion) do not have all customer emails. In fact, we have less than 1/5th. Envato keeps them and does not give them to the authors who sell items. While we petition to get them, it goes nowhere so sending out a public blog post before everyone was made aware (through Envato’s eBlast) would of also made potential hackers aware who would take advantage of it.</p>\n<p><strong>2.</strong> Due to the above, we have no way of contacting all of our customers at once. In addition, we had concerns over the post of the reporter which explains how to use the exploit, and not knowing when they were sending out the post, we had to rely on Envato to do so.</p>\n<p><strong>3.</strong> Each time we send in a theme update, it lists out the changelog in detail. Both security issues were listed and their fixes approved by the Envato review team and the new version posted on the marketplace.</p>\n<p><strong>4.</strong> We did a similar thing to what WP did back in February and elected to put off disclosing the vulnerability to make sure that our users who use automatic updates on their sites – were protected before going public.</p>\n<p>We allowed customers to see auto updates for both the theme and the patcher tool and get as many updated as possible. The patcher tool description and changelog were descriptive in making users aware that security issues were fixed. Nor is this information buried as we described above, in fact they use the standard WordPress method of letting you know updates or patches are available and ready to apply. The changelog link is directly on the updates page in WP admin, the themes page as well, and the patcher tool describes each one in it’s location in WP admin. In addition, all of this is online at our support center.</p>\n<p><strong>5.</strong> This all being very recent, and in agreement with Envato about the security related customer notification, we expected the actual communiqué to be sent out to each person that has purchased Avada, which it has been. However we implicitly asked Envato to allow us to review the content of the email before it was sent. We wanted to review the content of the eBlast so that we can ensure our customers are being given the correct information and to include additional helpful information about the update or users who were updating from much older versions. Lastly, we asked to know exactly when it was sent out so we could time ours as well. Unfortunately Envato did not get in touch with us in time.</p>\n<p><strong>6.</strong> The day Envato did send out the eBlast to every customer, we received it as any customer would and then also posted the information on our site: https://theme-fusion.com/knowledgebase/security-fixes-added-5-1-5/</p>\n<p>We did inform our users about the available update that included the security fix through the several ways that we could: changelog, automatic patcher tool, a user through our private Facebook group and of course the automatic theme update. None of this information is buried. Even before we released 5.1.5, the security patch fix was done in 24 hours or less through our live patcher tool. Like it is in WordPress, it can be easily seen, that a patch/update is available. Both were labeled starting with “Security fix”, containing the kind of security issue “(ex: XSS)”.</p>\n<p><strong>Why did we wait some time before a publicly available disclosure was done from our side?</strong><br />\n<em>To protect our customers.</em> </p>\n<p><strong>How can this course of action protect customers?</strong><br />\n<em>We do know from website traffic checks, that our user base does update to new versions very fast. So making the update available, and using the more private information channels listed above (auto patch notifications, auto theme updates), we made sure that the majority of our users was already protected before the general public (which of course includes potential hackers) was made aware of the security issue through public blog posts.</em></p>\n<p>This is not an uncommon approach, but also something WordPress has done, examples below:<br />\n<a href=\"https://threatpost.com/wordpress-silently-fixed-privilege-escalation-vulnerability-in-4-72-update/123533/\" target=\"_blank\">https://threatpost.com/wordpress-silently-fixed-privilege-escalation-vulnerability-in-4-72-update/123533/</a><br />\n<a href=\"http://www.securityweek.com/wordpress-delayed-disclosure-critical-vulnerability\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.securityweek.com/wordpress-delayed-disclosure-critical-vulnerability</a><br />\n<a href=\"https://www.imperva.com/blog/2017/03/early-vulnerability-disclosure-thwarts-wordpress-hackers/\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.imperva.com/blog/2017/03/early-vulnerability-disclosure-thwarts-wordpress-hackers/</a></p>\n<p>The issue itself has been resolved over a month ago, a patch created in 24 hours or less once we were notified and our user base was informed about it (automatically) through our changelog, our live patcher tool and a post in our private Facebook group. That is as much as we can do since we do not have all customer emails. Lastly and finally, Envato sent the full eBlast to all customers last week. Time in-between users updating and a public disclosure is needed for a reason.</p>\n<p>Our customers know we are not negligent in any way, they know we do everything possible for them and this involves fixing any and all security or bug issues. We campaign tirelessly for all of our customers, to maintain their installs and ensure that the theme is always updated or a patch applied.</p>\n<p>We will keep doing what we always have done and build strong relationships with our customers through trust and communication.</p>\n<p>ThemeFusion</p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://theme-fusion.com/security-fixes-added-5-1-5/\">Security Fixes Added in 5.1.5</a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://theme-fusion.com\">Theme Fusion</a>.</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:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";a:1:{s:10:\"commentRss\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:56:\"http://theme-fusion.com/security-fixes-added-5-1-5/feed/\";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:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";a:1:{s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2:\"10\";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:54:\"\n \n \n \n \n \n \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:5:{s:0:\"\";a:7:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:73:\"Head to Head: A Comparison Between AMP and Instant Articles for WordPress\";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:65:\"http://theme-fusion.com/comparing-amp-instant-articles-wordpress/\";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:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:74:\"http://theme-fusion.com/comparing-amp-instant-articles-wordpress/#comments\";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, 18 May 2017 13:48:18 +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:8:\"category\";a:5:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:15:\"Beginners Guide\";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:9:\"WordPress\";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:2;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3:\"amp\";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:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:16:\"instant articles\";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:4;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:12:\"mobile speed\";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:33:\"http://theme-fusion.com/?p=401732\";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:710:\"<p>Web browsing on mobile devices has steadily increased from the early ’00s, to the point where we’re now consuming more content from mobile devices than any other platform.

We took an in-depth look at two of them in our beginner’s guides to integrating <a href=\"https://theme-fusion.com/beginners-guide-integrating-amp-wordpress/\" target=\"_blank\">Google’s Accelerated Mobile Pages</a> and <a href=\"https://theme-fusion.com/?p=401486&preview=true\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook’s Instant Articles</a> with WordPress. However, you may be unclear as to whether you need both of these solutions to enhance your visitors’ mobile browsing experience.</p>\n<p>In this article, we’ll give a brief overview of both <a href=\"https://www.ampproject.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP)</a> and <a href=\"https://instantarticles.fb.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Instant Articles</a>. We’ll compare their functionality, giving our opinion on each and look at whether or not you need both solutions to improve visitors’ mobile browsing experience.</p>\n<p>Let’s get started!</p>\n<h2>An Introduction to AMP and Instant Articles</h2>\n<p>On the surface, both AMP and Instant Articles have the same goal achieved through similar means; loading web pages rapidly on mobile devices through a reduction in the underlying code:</p>\n<figure><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-401094\" src=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/washington-post-amp.png\" alt=\"An example of an AMP-compatible page from the Washington Post.\" width=\"633\" height=\"804\" srcset=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/washington-post-amp.png 1300w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/washington-post-amp-236x300.png 236w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/washington-post-amp-768x976.png 768w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/washington-post-amp-806x1024.png 806w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 633px) 100vw, 633px\" /></figure>\n<p>Furthermore, Google and Facebook both <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_(computing)\" target=\"_blank\">cache</a> the resulting page on their own servers, further improving speed benefits for end users. However, their underlying approaches to the task are very different.</p>\n<p>Let’s start by looking at AMP.</p>\n<h3>Accelerated Mobile Pages</h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://www.ampproject.org/\" target=\"_blank\">AMP Project</a> is an open-source initiative between Google and Twitter. Like WordPress itself, AMP is open to anyone wanting to use it or contribute to the codebase. AMP eschews any additional functionality than what’s necessary to deliver blazingly fast web pages to mobile devices.</p>\n<p>To enable WordPress users to get on board, Automattic has developed the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/amp/\" target=\"_blank\">AMP Plugin</a>, which generates AMP-compatible versions of any relevant page (found by appending <em>amp</em> to the URL). This video, from the AMP Project homepage, sums up the project as a whole:</p>\n<p><iframe width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/WrpkFROqR0Q?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>\n<p>The AMP Plugin itself is a sparse affair. There are no settings to configure whatsoever, it’s a true ‘set and forget’ plugin. For further styling of AMP-compatible pages, you’d need to turn to a plugin such as Yoast’s <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/glue-for-yoast-seo-amp/\" target=\"_blank\">Glue for Yoast SEO & AMP</a>. Further integration with <a href=\"https://analytics.google.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Google Analytics</a> is possible through the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-analytics-for-wordpress/\" target=\"_blank\">Google Analytics by MonsterInsights</a> plugin, or an alternative such as <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/pagefrog/\" target=\"_blank\">PageFrog</a>.</p>\n<p>For an in-depth look at AMP, take a look at our article on <a href=\"https://theme-fusion.com/beginners-guide-integrating-amp-wordpress/\" target=\"_blank\">integrating AMP with WordPress</a>.</p>\n<h3>Instant Articles</h3>\n<p><a href=\"https://instantarticles.fb.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Instant Articles</a> is Facebook’s own initiative to improve mobile browsing speeds, but unlike AMP, it’s a ‘closed-source’ proprietary solution. Instant Article-compatible pages are only viewable within the Facebook app, with users forced to work almost entirely within Facebook’s ecosystem.</p>\n<p>Articles are published through an RSS feed edited with HTML5 and WordPress users can enable Instant Articles through <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/fb-instant-articles/\" target=\"_blank\">the Instant Articles for WP plugin</a>, which was jointly developed by Automattic and Norwegian developers <a href=\"https://en.dekode.no/\" target=\"_blank\">Dekode</a>. Like the AMP Plugin, this offering has no settings of its own. All options can be found within your Facebook page’s settings.</p>\n<p>In contrast to AMP’s sparse ‘out of the box’ styling options, Facebook has provided a suite of tools to immerse the reader: video autoplaying, embedded maps and audio and the viewing of images by tilting your device are all possible with a little extra code. Furthermore, a set of styling options are provided within the Facebook Style Editor, with user engagement stats accessed through the standard page analytics.</p>\n<p>This video, from Facebook’s official <a href=\"https://vimeo.com/channels/facebook\" target=\"_blank\">Vimeo channel</a>, explains the platform in more detail:</p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/video/127539718?theme=none&wmode=opaque\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" title=\"Introducing Instant Articles\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe></p>\n<p>For an in-depth look at Instant Articles, take a look at our article on <a href=\"https://theme-fusion.com/beginners-guide-integrating-instant-articles-wordpress\" target=\"_blank\">integrating Instant Articles with WordPress</a>.</p>\n<p>With the overviews of both solutions out of the way, lets get a little deeper and compare the various aspects side by side.</p>\n<h2>Comparing AMP and Instant Articles for WordPress</h2>\n<p>It should be pretty clear by now that AMP and Instant Articles are similar solutions for improving mobile browsing speeds, but with both covering different areas of the web. That being said, there <em>are</em> differences between the two that warrant further investigation:</p>\n<h3>Openness</h3>\n<p>AMP is open-source while Facebook is closed-source, which could be important for future development. With AMP’s open-source policy, anyone is able to contribute to the codebase. If Google decided to stop development of AMP for any reason, others can step in to continue the project. As such, AMP could be an everlasting solution to mobile browsing speeds. By contrast, if Facebook decided that development of Instant Articles is no longer worthwhile, there could be thousands of adopters left high and dry without a solution that caters to Facebook users.</p>\n<p>Another aspect of Instant Articles is that social interaction is handled entirely within Facebook. This could potentially affect website hit counts and page views. The reduction in traffic could lead to negative ramifications for site owners down the line.</p>\n<h3>The Signup Process</h3>\n<p>Getting started with AMP is as simple as installing the plugin. It is the definition of set and forget and with no barriers to entry, anyone can provide AMP-compatible pages to mobile devices.</p>\n<p>Instant Articles, however, has a number of steps to follow and at times the process can be confusing:</p>\n<figure><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-401692 size-full\" src=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/instant-articles-initial-setup.png\" alt=\"The Initial Setup page for Instant Articles.\" width=\"623\" height=\"318\" srcset=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/instant-articles-initial-setup.png 623w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/instant-articles-initial-setup-300x153.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 623px) 100vw, 623px\" /></figure>\n<p>With Instant Articles being Facebook’s baby, they’ve raised the bar on the point of entry, each page must have a <a href=\"https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instant-articles/publishing\" target=\"_blank\">minimum of 50 posts</a> before being considered, and Facebook manually vets each feed before accepting content:</p>\n<figure><img class=\"size-full wp-image-401694 aligncenter\" src=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/instant-articles-step-two.png\" alt=\"The Step Two section for Instant Articles.\" width=\"575\" height=\"262\" srcset=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/instant-articles-step-two.png 575w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/instant-articles-step-two-300x137.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" /></figure>\n<h3>Advertising</h3>\n<p>Due to AMP’s sparse functionality, it doesn’t yet support ‘<a href=\"https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/blob/325878c6bde7a4bd40d67e8c81b9e599af1039d7/ads/integration-guide.md\" target=\"_blank\">interstitials</a>‘ (i.e. pop-up ads) or <a href=\"https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/\" target=\"_blank\">Flash</a>. This, along with having to rebuild elements such as paywalls and subscription content due to <a href=\"https://www.ampproject.org/docs/reference/spec.html\" target=\"_blank\">restrictive specifications</a>, means AMP won’t exactly appeal to those websites currently serving a high volume of ads to users.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, Facebook has offered publishers the chance to sell ads through Instant Articles and keep 100% of any revenue. Whether this generous rate continues, remains to be seen. On paper at least, Instant Articles appears to be the go-to choice for those relying on ad revenue.</p>\n<h3>Search Engine Optimization Benefits</h3>\n<p>With AMP’s and Instant Articles’ respective owners, it would be remiss of either not to promote compatible pages heavily on their own websites. However, Facebook has stated that Instant Article-compatible pages will see <a href=\"https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instant-articles/faq\" target=\"_blank\">no ranking benefits within News Feeds</a>.</p>\n<p>On the flip side, Google appears to be giving preference to AMP-compatible pages, showing them at the top of search results on mobile devices:</p>\n<figure><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-401095\" src=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/google-search-amp.png\" alt=\"A mock-up of Google\'s prioritization of AMP-compatible pages.\" width=\"316\" height=\"579\" srcset=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/google-search-amp.png 634w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/google-search-amp-164x300.png 164w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/google-search-amp-559x1024.png 559w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 316px) 100vw, 316px\" /></figure>\n<p>With Google’s search dominance, along with Facebook’s lack of promotion of Instant Articles, the perception may be that AMP has a wider reach – regardless of the underlying benefits to users.</p>\n<h3>Styling</h3>\n<p>We’ve already mentioned AMP’s focus on pure speed benefits over extra functionality and in order to style your AMP-compatible pages you’ll currently need extra plugins. <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/glue-for-yoast-seo-amp/\" target=\"_blank\">Glue for Yoast SEO & AMP</a> is the clear choice if you’ve installed <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/\" target=\"_blank\">Yoast SEO</a>, while <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/pagefrog/\" target=\"_blank\">PageFrog</a> is also a worthy alternative. Both plugins provide basic styling to text, backgrounds, and colors.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, Instant Articles has placed its immersive and interactive functionality front and center, promoting it ahead of any speed benefits. Styling your articles is achieved through Facebook’s Style Editor, complete with a choice of fonts and colors and they’ve also provided a <a href=\"https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instant-articles/guides/design\" target=\"_blank\">design guide</a> to get you up and running.</p>\n<p>Now you understand more about AMP and Instant Articles and with all of the comparisons between them out of the way, you’re likely asking yourself an important question…</p>\n<h2>What Does It All Mean for Me?</h2>\n<p>In a nutshell, both AMP and Instant Articles essentially work towards the same goal, delivering fast web browsing speeds to mobile devices, but look to achieve them in different ways. However, given that Instant Articles and AMP provide benefits to different areas of the web, it makes sense to utilize both to offer your mobile visitors a snappy browsing experience.</p>\n<h2>Conclusion</h2>\n<p>Mobile browsing technology is being revolutionized by the likes of Facebook and Google. Due to the similarities of AMP and Instant Articles, you may be confused about which solutions you need to enhance mobile browsing speeds for your visitors.</p>\n<p>Now you have some clarity, let’s take a moment to sum up what we’ve learned and how you can harness it for your own websites:</p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-list\">\n<ol>\n<li>AMP is a mainly Google-led approach to improving mobile browsing speeds.</li>\n<li>Instant Articles is Facebook’s proprietary solution to improving mobile page speeds.</li>\n<li>In order to offer an overall improvement to your visitors’ mobile experience, you’ll need to utilize both solutions.</li>\n</ol>\n</div>\n<p>There looks to be additional solutions on the horizon too, with Apple developing their <a href=\"https://developer.apple.com/news-publisher/\" target=\"_blank\">News Publisher</a> solution.

Both Google and Apple have released projects to improve mobile content delivery speed (<a href=\"http://ampproject.org\" target=\"_blank\">Accelerated Mobile Pages</a> and <a href=\"https://developer.apple.com/news-publisher/\" target=\"_blank\">Apple News Publisher</a> respectively). However, one major developer has been so far conspicuous by their absence, despite their <a href=\"http://www.investors.com/news/technology/facebooks-dominance-in-app-ecosystem-is-striking-above-alphabet/\" target=\"_blank\">overall dominance of our web time</a>.</p>\n<figure><a href=\"https://instantarticles.fb.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Instant Articles</a> is Facebook’s own initiative to improve mobile browsing speeds and much like the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/amp/\" target=\"_blank\">AMP Plugin</a> for Google’s project, Automattic has stepped up to develop <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/fb-instant-articles/\" target=\"_blank\">their own plugin</a> for WordPress integration.</p>\n<p>In this article, we’ll look at what Instant Articles is, its limitations and how to integrate it with your WordPress website. In our article on <a href=\"https://theme-fusion.com/beginners-guide-integrating-amp-wordpress/\" target=\"_blank\">integrating AMP with WordPress</a>, we explained some of the technical terms found here, so it’s worth reading through that first, to get up to speed.</p>\n<p>If you’re ready, let’s get started!</p>\n<h2>What Is Facebook’s Instant Articles?</h2>\n<p>Announced as far back as <a href=\"https://media.fb.com/2015/05/12/instantarticles/\" target=\"_blank\">May 2015</a>, Facebook’s Instant Articles has similar goals to both Google’s and Apple’s offerings, delivering web content quickly to mobile devices. However, while Google’s Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) was designed as an ‘open-source’ project (i.e. It enables anyone to assist with development.), Instant Articles is a ‘closed-source’ proprietary platform. As such, content is only viewable on mobile devices within the Facebook app and using Instant Articles means working completely within Facebook’s ecosystem.</p>\n<p>Publishing articles happens directly from WordPress through an RSS feed edited with HTML5. Instant Articles are published at the same time as the desktop article and any changes or updates are automatically captured and pushed to your feed.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-401539\" src=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/instant-articles-page-1.jpg\" alt=\"An example of an Instant Article-compatible page from the Washington Post.\" width=\"375\" height=\"536\" srcset=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/instant-articles-page-1.jpg 750w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/instant-articles-page-1-210x300.jpg 210w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/instant-articles-page-1-716x1024.jpg 716w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" /></p>\n<p>To actually increase content delivery speed, Instant Articles borrows the same technology used to display images and videos in the Facebook app. This, coupled with the benefits of <a href=\"https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Optimization/Caching\" target=\"_blank\">caching</a>, means articles may load up to ten times faster than normal.</p>\n<p>This video, from Facebook’s Vimeo channel, explains the overall project in more detail:</p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/video/127539718?theme=none&wmode=opaque\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" title=\"Introducing Instant Articles\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe></p>\n<p>While AMP focuses on speed at the expense of extra functionality, Facebook has given content producers a number of tools to make articles immersive and interactive:</p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-list\">\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Video autoplaying:</strong> Videos will play automatically as you scroll through the article.</li>\n<li><strong>Image immersion:</strong> Readers can zoom into high-resolution images. Tilting your device enables you to explore the full-width of images, doing away with finger swipes.</li>\n<li><strong>Interactive maps:</strong> Locations mentioned throughout an article can be displayed on an interactive world map.</li>\n<li><strong>Embedded audio:</strong> Snippets of audio can be played alongside any content to provide more context to the article.</li>\n</ol>\n</div>\n<p>News Feed article previews can be customized to match brand identity and can even include video. Of course, with this being Facebook, user engagement can be tracked through your page’s normal analytics screen.</p>\n<p>While all of these features are impressive, you’d be forgiven for thinking that this extra functionality could impact page speeds. As alluded to earlier though (and much like Google itself), Facebook will cache all compatible Instant Articles on their servers, keeping the load time to a minimum.</p>\n<p>Finally, there looks to be more good news for content providers, publishers selling adverts through Instant Articles get to keep all revenue generated. For those extending their campaigns outside of Facebook, there’s still the option to take advantage of the <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/business/news/audience-network\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook Audience Network</a>, though that appears to follow the same guidelines it always has.</p>\n<p>Now we’ve looked at what Instant Articles is, lets look at some of the format’s limitations.</p>\n<h2>What Are the Limitations of Instant Articles?</h2>\n<p>While speed and the immersion tools are big benefits, Instant Articles comes with a number of limitations to consider:</p>\n<h3>1. Eligibility</h3>\n<p>Websites with <a href=\"https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instant-articles/publishing\" target=\"_blank\">less than 50 eligible posts</a> will be rejected outright. If your site <em>does</em> meet this post count, your site joins the queue to be manually reviewed. As with any manual process, wading through the inevitable applications takes time, and it could be that your competitors are taking advantage of Instant Articles before you.</p>\n<h3>2. Compatibility</h3>\n<p>Publishers will need multiple solutions to show the same page via the different platforms and those solutions may not be consistent in their implementation, nor play nicely with each other. Furthermore, some of the immersion tools mentioned above will need to be coded into your pages and as far as WordPress is concerned, some plugins may also need more code to be compatible.</p>\n<h3>3. User Interaction</h3>\n<p>In an <a href=\"https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instant-articles/faq\" target=\"_blank\">FAQ on their developer website</a>, Facebook stated there will be no News Feed ranking benefit to Instant Articles; and because all interactions (such as reactions, comments, and shares) take place with the Facebook app, overall this could mean your Facebook user engagement rises, but your reach may not – leaving your original website article languishing from a lack of user interaction.</p>\n<h3>4. Future Decisions</h3>\n<p>While Facebook’s terms (such as the aforementioned 100% ad revenue) are favorable for publishers right now, if Instant Articles has a large adoption rate, these terms may change. After all, providing a tempting sign-up offer to only lock users into a lesser deal later is not a new business move. To which, Facebook may choose to remove competitor’s ads (such as Google AdSense), replacing them with their own versions and further locking in content providers.</p>\n<h3>5. Facebook’s ‘Walled Garden’</h3>\n<p>Finally (if you haven’t guessed by now), most aspects of Instant Articles are handled entirely within the Facebook ecosystem. The relative merits of a ‘walled garden’ approach are beyond the scope of this article, but it may be worth considering if you enjoy the freedom of using non-proprietary solutions.</p>\n<p>Now that we’ve discovered what Instant Articles is and looked at some of its limitations, let’s look at the final step: WordPress integration.</p>\n<h2>How Can I Integrate Instant Articles With My WordPress Website?</h2>\n<p>To get your WordPress website integrated with Instant Articles, you’ll need at least two things:</p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-list\">\n<ol>\n<li>A Facebook Page that you’re the administrator for.</li>\n<li>A WordPress plugin to generate the required RSS feeds.</li>\n</ol>\n</div>\n<p>While you probably have the first one, it’s the plugin, which is a a joint effort between Automattic and Norwegian developers <a href=\"https://en.dekode.no/\" target=\"_blank\">Dekode</a>, called <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/fb-instant-articles/\" target=\"_blank\">Instant Articles for WP</a>, that you may not have. Let’s take a look!</p>\n<h3><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/fb-instant-articles/\" target=\"_blank\">Instant Articles for WP</a></h3>\n<p><a href=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/instant-articles-plugin.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-401543\" src=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/instant-articles-plugin.png\" alt=\"The Instant Articles for WP plugin.\" width=\"633\" height=\"144\" srcset=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/instant-articles-plugin.png 1590w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/instant-articles-plugin-300x68.png 300w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/instant-articles-plugin-768x175.png 768w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/instant-articles-plugin-1024x233.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 633px) 100vw, 633px\" /></a></figure>\n<p>Much like Automattic’s AMP plugin, <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/fb-instant-articles/\" target=\"_blank\">Instant Articles for WP</a> provides no settings to tweak. All of the magic happens elsewhere. Once installed, a new RSS feed is created, which you can see by appending either <em>/?feed=instant-articles</em> or <em>/feed/instant-articles</em> (depending on your permalink settings) to your website’s URL:</p>\n<figure><a href=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/rss-feed-url-one.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-401527\" src=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/rss-feed-url-one.png\" alt=\"A navbar showing one style of RSS feed generated by Facebook\'s Instant Articles\" width=\"360\" height=\"33\" srcset=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/rss-feed-url-one.png 720w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/rss-feed-url-one-300x28.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" /></a></figure>\n<figure><a href=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/rss-feed-url-two.pn\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-401534\" src=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/rss-feed-url-two.png\" alt=\"A navbar showing another style of RSS feed generated by Facebook\'s Instant Articles\" width=\"360\" height=\"33\" srcset=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/rss-feed-url-two.png 720w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/rss-feed-url-two-300x28.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" /></a></figure>\n<p>For the rest of the process, you’ll need to sign up to <a href=\"https://instantarticles.fb.com\" target=\"_blank\">Instant Articles</a> – enable your page on the next screen – then log into your Facebook Page, navigate to the <em>Settings</em> screen, and select <em>Instant Articles</em> from the left hand menu:</p>\n<figure><a href=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/facebook-settings-tab-1.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-426870\" src=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/facebook-settings-tab-1.jpg\" alt=\"facebook-settings-tab-1\" width=\"194\" height=\"173\" /></a></figure>\n<figure><a href=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/instant-articles-menu-2.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-426873\" src=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/instant-articles-menu-2.jpg\" alt=\"instant-articles-menu-2\" width=\"294\" height=\"200\" /></a></figure>\n<p>The setup process has a number of steps, but you can skip most of the <em>Initial Setup</em> section if you want to get up and running straight away:</p>\n<figure><a href=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/instant-articles-initial-setup.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-401692 aligncenter\" src=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/instant-articles-initial-setup.png\" alt=\"The Initial Setup page for Instant Articles.\" width=\"623\" height=\"318\" srcset=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/instant-articles-initial-setup.png 623w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/instant-articles-initial-setup-300x153.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 623px) 100vw, 623px\" /></a></figure>\n<p><em>Step 2</em> involves actually submitting your articles, but this won’t be possible until you’ve connected your RSS feeds.

While Google and Apple have looked to address the issue with initiatives for the open web, content providers for Facebook have had nothing until now.</p>\n<p>Instant Articles is the answer to rapid content delivery within the Facebook ecosystem. To get your WordPress website ready, you need to do the following:</p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-list\">\n<ol>\n<li>Install the Facebook Instant Articles for WP plugin.</li>\n<li>Sign up to Instant Articles and enable your page.</li>\n<li>Follow the steps to submit your RSS feed for review by Facebook.</li>\n</ol>\n</div>\n<p>Major developers are looking to drag our mobile browsing speeds into the 21st Century, but at this point you may be wondering whether you need both AMP <em>and</em> Instant Articles to deliver an improved experience to mobile readers.

Developers have been slowly coming on board, with Automattic in particular developing the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/amp/\" target=\"_blank\">AMP Plugin</a>, which integrates this new approach to mobile design with WordPress.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article, we will look at what the AMP project is, along with Automattic’s AMP plugin which was developed to implement AMP on WordPress. We’ll also give you some advice on how you can customize AMP for your WordPress website.</span></p>\n<h2>What Is Accelerated Mobile Pages?</h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://www.ampproject.org/\" target=\"_blank\">AMP Project</a> itself is (like WordPress) an open-source initiative created by Google and Twitter to collectively improve the smartphone and tablet viewing experience for everyone. The open-source platform was chosen as a direct response to ‘closed-source’ initiatives, such as <a href=\"https://instantarticles.fb.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook’s Instant Articles</a> and <a href=\"https://developer.apple.com/news-publisher/\" target=\"_blank\">Apple News Publisher</a>. This video from the AMP Project website explains the initiative in more detail:</p>\n<p><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/WrpkFROqR0Q?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>\n<p>The technology behind Accelerated Mobile Pages, on the surfacef at least, is simple: it strips your website’s pages of any superfluous styling and code before storing it on a separate server, ending with a page that loads quickly and is optimized for mobile devices. Think of it as HTML on Weight Watchers:</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_401094\" style=\"width: 643px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"wp-image-401094\" src=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/washington-post-amp-806x1024.png\" alt=\"An example of an AMP-compatible page from the Washington Post.\" width=\"633\" height=\"804\" srcset=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/washington-post-amp-806x1024.png 806w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/washington-post-amp-236x300.png 236w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/washington-post-amp-768x976.png 768w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/washington-post-amp.png 1300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 633px) 100vw, 633px\" /><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pages will look sparser, yet no less identifiable – as this example page from <a href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/\" target=\"_blank\">The Washington Post</a> shows.</p></div>\n<p><em>Pages will look sparser, yet no less identifiable – as this example page from <a href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/\" target=\"_blank\">The Washington Post</a> shows.</em></p>\n<p>Getting a little deeper, AMP pages are essentially like any other HTML webpage, but with some restrictions governed by the <a href=\"https://www.ampproject.org/docs/reference/spec.html\" target=\"_blank\">AMP HTML specification</a> – some key ones being:</p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-list\">\n<ul>\n<li>Disabling inline CSS, and streamlining the code found in preexisitng stylesheets.</li>\n<li>Other than a standardized, off-the-shelf library for functionality such as ‘<a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_loading\" target=\"_blank\">lazy loading</a>‘, no other JavaScript is allowed.</li>\n<li>Banning certain HTML tags outright – such as those used for forms – and substituting others (such as image and video tags) with their own <em>AMP Components </em>tags.</li>\n</ul>\n</div>\n<p>Of course, with a name like Accelerated Mobile Pages, you would expect speed to be the main benefit. For end users, quicker loading times means less time spent waiting and more time reading. However, for those that create and publish content, the potential for content to appear everywhere quickly is exciting. Money talks, and as <a href=\"https://blog.kissmetrics.com/loading-time/\" target=\"_blank\">past studies have shown</a>, a page that loads quickly means higher conversion rates and sales.</p>\n<p>Further speed gains are achieved through ‘caching’. Caching is the saving of already loaded webpages and storing them on a server for later viewing. This saves time by skipping the <em>server processing</em> stage of the page load. AMP was designed specifically with caching in mind. Google is providing the technology to <a href=\"https://developers.google.com/amp/cache/\" target=\"_blank\">cache all AMP pages on their servers</a>, further increasing browsing speed for end users.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_401093\" style=\"width: 643px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"wp-image-401093\" src=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/moz-whiteboard-caching-1024x855.jpg\" alt=\"A diagram of the AMP caching process, explained by Moz. \" width=\"633\" height=\"528\" srcset=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/moz-whiteboard-caching-1024x855.jpg 1024w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/moz-whiteboard-caching-300x250.jpg 300w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/moz-whiteboard-caching-768x641.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 633px) 100vw, 633px\" /><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">A <a href=\"https://moz.com/blog/accelerated-mobile-pages-whiteboard-friday\" target=\"_blank\">Whiteboard Friday</a> episode from <a href=\"https://moz.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Moz</a> outlined how caching will work within the AMP project.</p></div>\n<p>It won’t be a case of “enable AMP, count cash”, for some publishers though. If their websites don’t currently run on WordPress, they have plenty of work to do. Paywalls, advertisements, and subscription content will have to be rebuilt due to the JavaScript restrictions, and AMP <a href=\"https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/blob/325878c6bde7a4bd40d67e8c81b9e599af1039d7/ads/integration-guide.md\" target=\"_blank\">doesn’t yet cater for ‘interstitials’</a>, (pop-up ads to you and me), or perennial early ’00 technology <a href=\"https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/\" target=\"_blank\">Flash</a>.</p>\n<p>With this being a Google initiative, content providers may have an added incentive to get on board with AMP sooner rather than later. It may just be that Google shows a preference to AMP activated pages in the future. In a <a href=\"https://www.ampproject.org/\" target=\"_blank\">demo on the project website</a>, AMP activated pages are shown at the very top of the search results. So it pays for content creators and providers to put in the leg work to be ready now.</p>\n<figure><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-401095\" src=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/google-search-amp-559x1024.png\" alt=\"A mock-up of Google\'s prioritization of AMP-compatible pages.\" width=\"279\" height=\"511\" srcset=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/google-search-amp-559x1024.png 559w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/google-search-amp-164x300.png 164w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/google-search-amp.png 634w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 279px) 100vw, 279px\" /></figure>\n<p>Given the rapid development of AMP, it hasn’t taken long for developers such as Automattic (among others) to jump on the bandwagon and find a way of making AMP accessible to all WordPress users – their solution coming in the form of the aptly titled <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/amp/\" target=\"_blank\">AMP Plugin</a>.</p>\n<h2>What Does the AMP Plugin Do?</h2>\n<figure><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-401013\" src=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/amp-plugin-screen-1024x335.png\" alt=\"Automattic\'s AMP Plugin screen.\" width=\"633\" height=\"207\" srcset=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/amp-plugin-screen-1024x335.png 1024w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/amp-plugin-screen-300x98.png 300w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/amp-plugin-screen-768x251.png 768w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/amp-plugin-screen.png 1436w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 633px) 100vw, 633px\" /></figure>\n<p>Of course, having a technology that enables users to view your website on their device in milliseconds is all for nothing if you can’t generate the required pages. That’s where the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/amp/\" target=\"_blank\">AMP Plugin</a> comes in. At this point, we would typically walk you through the plugin settings screen and look at setting it up for your needs. However, given the streamlined nature of AMP, the plugin has no options screen to navigate. It is true set and forget.</p>\n<p>Once active, the plugin dynamically generates AMP-compatible versions of your webpages, so there’s no extra effort on your part. These pages can be viewed by appending <em>amp</em> to the relevant URL:</p>\n<figure><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-401040\" src=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/amp-url.png\" alt=\"A screenshot of a URL, appended with /amp.\" width=\"442\" height=\"30\" srcset=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/amp-url.png 984w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/amp-url-300x20.png 300w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/amp-url-768x52.png 768w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/amp-url-960x66.png 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 442px) 100vw, 442px\" /></figure>\n<p>It’s worth pointing out that the AMP plugin doesn’t automatically display your AMP content. It only generates the necessary compatible pages and the responsibility for displaying them lies in the hands of Google Search <em>et al.</em></p>\n<p>Also, the rapid rate of AMP development, coupled with Automattic’s desire to get WordPress users ready before the launch date, means that the plugin hasn’t yet reached a full version point. Note that pages and archives are not currently supported, but future releases will see further developments.</p>\n<h2>How Can I Customize AMP for My WordPress Website?</h2>\n<p>For most users wanting an AMP-optimized website, installing the Automattic plugin will be enough. However, there are some areas you may want to delve deeper into and they’re only accessible through other plugins.</p>\n<p>As we explained earlier, stylesheets are heavily streamlined, after all, it’s one of the major components in delivering rapid page speeds and other than your site logo, you won’t see very much in the way of styling. Furthermore, if you’re one of the one million plus users who have installed <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/\" target=\"_blank\">Yoast SEO</a>, the metadata used by the AMP Plugin may not be the most optimal. Details on how it differs is sketchy at best, but fortunately, Yoast has developed a plugin to kill two birds with one stone: <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/glue-for-yoast-seo-amp/\" target=\"_blank\">Glue for Yoast SEO & AMP</a>.</p>\n<figure><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-401025\" src=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/glue-plugin-1024x340.png\" alt=\"The Glue for Yoast SEO & AMP lugin\" width=\"633\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/glue-plugin-1024x340.png 1024w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/glue-plugin-300x100.png 300w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/glue-plugin-768x255.png 768w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/glue-plugin.png 1450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 633px) 100vw, 633px\" /></figure>\n<p>Once installed, the Glue settings can be found in the SEO dashboard admin panel…</p>\n<figure><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-401027\" src=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/dashboard-glue-menu.png\" alt=\"The dashboard menu, showing where to find the Glue plugin settings.\" width=\"310\" height=\"249\" srcset=\"https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/dashboard-glue-menu.png 620w, https://theme-fusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/dashboard-glue-menu-300x241.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px\" /></figure>\n<p>…and within the settings themselves are the three tabs you’ll need to make further tweaks to your AMP pages:</p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-list\">\n<ol>\n<li><strong><em>Post types: </em></strong>While you’d generally want to see only your news and blog posts as AMP-optimized pages, Glue lets you make any relevant post type AMP-compatible.</li>\n<li><strong><em>Design: </em></strong>This tab enables you to make basic design alterations to your AMP-compatible pages. You can change the color of text and links, add a default image in the place of a missing featured image and add in extra CSS if you require.</li>\n<li><em><strong>Analytics:</strong> </em>This tab lets you add a <a href=\"https://analytics.google.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Google Analytics</a> tracking code – though you’ll need further functionality provided by either the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-analytics-for-wordpress/\" target=\"_blank\">Google Analytics by MonsterInsights</a> plugin, or an alternative such as <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/pagefrog/\" target=\"_blank\">PageFrog</a>.</li>\n</ol>\n</div>\n<p>You can find out more about why some of these settings are important, along with Yoast founder Joost de Valk’s opinion on AMP, in this article on the <a href=\"https://yoast.com/wordpress-amp-part-ii/\" target=\"_blank\">Yoast website</a>.</p>\n<h2>Conclusion</h2>\n<p>While the majority of us now access digital content from our smartphones and tablets. The technology used to deliver webpages to our devices has been lacking and our experience has suffered. Google is looking to set that right with Accelerated Mobile Pages – a way of marrying a mobile-first approach with the speed we now require in surfing the web.</p>\n<p>In a nutshell, AMP is a technology that delivers super-speedy webpages to a user’s smartphone or tablet. To get your WordPress website ready, consider the following:</p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-list\">\n<ol>\n<li>Install the AMP Plugin from Automattic. There are no settings to browse through, so once installed, consider yourself ready!</li>\n<li>If further styling, metatag optimization, or analytics support is important to you, consider installing both Glue and Google Analytics by MonsterInsights, or alternatively, the PageFrog plugin.</li>\n</ol>\n</div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the AMP initiative we’re on the cusp of a mobile revolution and there are more developments in the pipeline. These coming from the likes of Apple News and Facebook’s Instant Articles (in the case of Instant Articles, we’ll look at in a future post).</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How important is having a mobile-optimized site to you or your business and where will AMP fit in?

Read on for more interesting news from around the WordPress world in July.</p>\n<hr />\n<h2>Weekly meeting for new core contributors</h2>\n<p>Onboarding new contributors is a persistent issue for most WordPress contribution teams. While every team welcomes any new contributors, the path to getting deeply involved can be tricky to find at times.</p>\n<p>This month, the Core team implemented a fantastic new initiative: <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/06/30/announcing-a-weekly-new-contributors-meeting/\">weekly meetings for new core contributors</a> as a way to encourage involvement and foster fresh contributions. The meetings not only focus on bugs suited to first-time contributors, they also make space for experienced contributors to help out individuals who may be new to developing WordPress core.</p>\n<p>The meetings are held every Wednesday at 19:00 UTC in the #core channel in the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/chat/\">Making WordPress Slack group</a>.</p>\n<h2>Increased focus on PHP practices in WordPress core</h2>\n<p>In bringing people together to improve WordPress core, a new channel in the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/chat/\">Making WordPress Slack group</a> named #core-php is designed to focus on PHP development in the project.</p>\n<p>Along with this increased concentration on PHP, a <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/07/06/announcement-for-weekly-php-meetings/\">new weekly meeting is now taking place</a> every Monday at 18:00 UTC in #core-php to improve WordPress core’s PHP practices.</p>\n<h2>Sharp rise in meetup group growth</h2>\n<p>The dashboard events widget in WordPress 4.8 displays local, upcoming WordPress events for the logged in user. The events listed in this widget are pulled from the <a href=\"https://www.meetup.com/pro/wordpress/\">meetup chapter program</a>, as well as the <a href=\"https://central.wordcamp.org/schedule\">WordCamp schedule</a>.</p>\n<p>This widget provides greater visibility of official WordPress events, and encourages community involvement in these events. It’s safe to say that the widget has achieved its goals admirably — since WordPress 4.8 was released a little over a month ago, 31 new meetup groups have been formed with 15,647 new members across the whole program. This is compared to 19 new groups and only 7,071 new members in the same time period last year.</p>\n<p>You can find a local meetup group to join <a href=\"https://www.meetup.com/pro/wordpress/\">on meetup.com</a>, and if you would like to get involved in organizing events for your community, you can find out more about the inner workings of the program <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/meetups/\">on the Community Team site</a> or by joining the #community-events channel in the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/chat/\">Making WordPress Slack group</a>.</p>\n<h2>WordPress 4.8.1 due for imminent release</h2>\n<p>WordPress 4.8 cycle’s first maintenance release will be published in the coming week, more than a month after 4.8 was released. This release fix some important issues in WordPress core and the majority of users will find that their sites will update to this new version automatically.</p>\n<p>If you would like to help out by testing this release before it goes live, you can follow the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/testing/beta/\">beta testing guide</a> for WordPress core. To get further involved in building WordPress core, jump into the #core channel in the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/chat/\">Making WordPress Slack group</a>, and follow <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/\">the Core team blog</a>.</p>\n<hr />\n<h2>Further reading:</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The WordPress mobile apps have been updated with <a href=\"https://en.blog.wordpress.com/2017/07/24/a-brand-new-editor-for-the-wordpress-mobile-apps/\">a brand new text editor</a>.</li>\n<li>In a recent push to encourage WordPress users to upgrade their PHP versions, two features have been proposed – one <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/41191\">to provide a notice to users</a> and another to <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/40934\">allow PHP version requirements to be specified by plugins and themes</a>.</li>\n<li>John Maeda wrote <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/design/2017/07/14/whywordpress2/\">a great post</a> celebrating the freedom that WordPress offers.</li>\n<li>Gutenberg, the new text editor for WordPress, is <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/07/28/whats-new-in-gutenberg-28th-july/\">in continual development</a> — everyone is invited to <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/test/handbook/call-for-testing/gutenberg-testing/\">test it out</a>.</li>\n<li>The WordPress Meta team is starting <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/meta/2017/07/26/experiment-wordcamp-org-bug-scrubs/\">a new initiative</a> to bring the community together to focus on fixing bugs across the WordCamp.org network.</li>\n<li>Volunteer applications for WordCamp US <a href=\"https://2017.us.wordcamp.org/2017/08/01/wcus-needs-you-volunteer-applications-are-now-open/\">are now open</a>.</li>\n</ul>\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:\"4885\";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:2;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:33:\"\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:33:\"The Month in WordPress: June 2017\";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:68:\"https://wordpress.org/news/2017/07/the-month-in-wordpress-june-2017/\";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, 03 Jul 2017 11:42:11 +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:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:18:\"Month in WordPress\";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=4865\";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:342:\"We’re starting a new regular feature on this blog today.

Read on to hear more about these as well as other interesting stories from around the WordPress world.</p>\n<hr />\n<h2>WordPress 4.8</h2>\n<p>On June 8, a week before the Community Summit and WordCamp Europe,<a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2017/06/evans/\"> WordPress 4.8 was released</a>.You can read<a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/05/26/wordpress-4-8-field-guide/\"> the Field Guide</a> for a comprehensive overview of all the features of this release (the News and Events widget in the dashboard is one of the major highlights).</p>\n<p>Most people would either have their version auto-updated, or their hosts would have updated it for them. For the rest, the updates have gone smoothly with no major issues reported so far.</p>\n<p>This WordPress release saw contributions from 346 individuals; you can find their names in <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2017/06/evans/\">the announcement post</a>. To get involved in building WordPress core, jump into the #core channel in the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/chat/\">Making WordPress Slack group</a>, and follow <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/\">the Core team blog</a>.</p>\n<h2>WordCamp Europe 2017</h2>\n<p><a href=\"https://2017.europe.wordcamp.org/\">WordCamp Europe 2017</a> was held in Paris between June 15-17. The event began with a Contributor Day, followed by two days of talks and community goodness. The talks were live-streamed, but you can still catch all the recordings <a href=\"http://wordpress.tv/event/wordcamp-europe-2017/\">on WordPress.tv</a>. The organisers also published <a href=\"https://2017.europe.wordcamp.org/2017/06/30/wordcamp-europe-2017-in-paris-its-a-wrap/\">a handy wrap-up of the event</a>.</p>\n<p>WordCamp Europe exists to bring together the WordPress community from all over the continent, as well as to inspire local communities everywhere to get their own events going — to that end, the event was a great success, as a host of new meetup groups have popped up in the weeks following WordCamp Europe.</p>\n<p>The work that Contributor Day participants accomplished was both varied and valuable, covering all aspects of the WordPress project — have a look through <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/\">the Make blogs</a> for updates from each team.</p>\n<p>Finally, we also learned during the event that <a href=\"https://2017.europe.wordcamp.org/2017/06/17/belgrade-serbia-to-host-wordcamp-europe-2018/\">WordCamp Europe 2018 will be held in Belgrade, Serbia</a>, continuing the tradition of exploring locations and communities across the continent.</p>\n<h2>WordPress Community Summit</h2>\n<p>The fourth WordPress Community Summit took place during the two days leading up to WordCamp Europe 2017. This event is an invite-only unconference where people from all over the WordPress community come together to discuss some of the more difficult issues in the community, as well as to make plans for the year ahead in each of the contribution teams.</p>\n<p>As the Summit is designed to be a safe space for all attendees, the notes from each discussion are in the process of being anonymized before we publish them on <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/summit/\">the Summit blog</a> (so stay tuned – they’ll show up there over the next few weeks).</p>\n<p>You can already see the final list of topics that were proposed for the event <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/summit/2017/06/10/community-summit-2017-final-list-of-topic/\">here</a> (although a few more were added during the course of the two day Summit).</p>\n<h2>WordPress marketing push continues apace</h2>\n<p>As part of the push to be more intentional in marketing WordPress (as per Matt Mullenweg’s <a href=\"http://wordpress.tv/2016/12/07/matt-mullenweg-state-of-the-word-2016/\">2016 State of the Word</a>), the Marketing team has launched two significant drives to obtain more information about who uses WordPress and how that information can shape their outreach and messaging efforts.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/marketing/2017/06/15/wordpress-case-studies-and-usage-survey/\">The team is looking for WordPress case studies</a> and is asking users, agencies, and freelancers to take a WordPress usage survey. This will go a long way towards establishing a marketing base for WordPress as a platform and as a community — and many people in the community are looking forward to seeing this area develop further.</p>\n<p>To get involved in the WordPress Marketing team, you can visit <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/marketing/\">their team blog</a>.</p>\n<h2>New Gutenberg editor available for testing</h2>\n<p>For some time now, the Core team has been hard at work on a brand-new text editor for WordPress — this project has been dubbed “Gutenberg.” The project’s ultimate goal is to replace the existing TinyMCE editor, but for now it is in beta and available for public testing — <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/gutenberg/\">you can download it here as a plugin</a> and install it on any WordPress site.</p>\n<p>This feature is still in beta, so we don’t recommend using it on a production site. If you test it out, though, you’ll find that it is a wholly different experience to what you are used to in WordPress. It’s a more streamlined, altogether cleaner approach to the text-editing experience than we’ve had before, and something that many people are understandably excited about. Matt Mullenweg discussed the purpose of Gutenberg in more detail during <a href=\"http://wordpress.tv/2017/07/01/interview-and-qanda-with-matt-mullenweg/\">his Q&A at WordCamp Europe</a>.</p>\n<p>There are already a few reviews out from <a href=\"https://kinsta.com/blog/gutenberg-wordpress-editor/\">Brian Jackson at Kinsta</a>, <a href=\"https://daily.jorb.in/2017/06/random-thoughts-on-gutenberg/\">Aaron Jorbin</a>, and <a href=\"https://www.mattcromwell.com/gutenberg-first-impressions/\">Matt Cromwell</a> (among many others). Keep in mind that the project is in constant evolution at this stage; when it eventually lands in WordPress core (probably in v5.0), it could look very different from its current iteration — that’s what makes this beta stage and user testing so important.</p>\n<p>To get involved with shaping the future of Gutenberg, please <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/test/handbook/call-for-testing/gutenberg-testing/\">test it out</a>, and join the #core-editor channel in the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/chat/\">Making WordPress Slack group</a>.

New features in 4.8 add more ways for you to express yourself and represent your brand.</p>\n<p>Though some updates seem minor, they’ve been built by hundreds of contributors with <em>you</em> in mind. Get ready for new features you’ll welcome like an old friend: link improvements, <em>three</em> new media widgets covering images, audio, and video, an updated text widget that supports visual editing, and an upgraded news section in your dashboard which brings in nearby and upcoming WordPress events.</p>\n<hr />\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">Exciting Widget Updates</h2>\n<p><img class=\"size-large wp-image-4776 aligncenter\" src=\"https://i1.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2017/06/widgets-with-all-four.png?resize=632%2C436&ssl=1\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https://i1.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2017/06/widgets-with-all-four.png?resize=1024%2C706&ssl=1 1024w, https://i1.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2017/06/widgets-with-all-four.png?resize=300%2C207&ssl=1 300w, https://i1.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2017/06/widgets-with-all-four.png?resize=768%2C530&ssl=1 768w, https://i1.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2017/06/widgets-with-all-four.png?w=1264&ssl=1 1264w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 632px) 100vw, 632px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" /></p>\n<h3>Image Widget</h3>\n<p>Adding an image to a widget is now a simple task that is achievable for any WordPress user without needing to know code. Simply insert your image right within the widget settings. Try adding something like a headshot or a photo of your latest weekend adventure — and see it appear automatically.</p>\n<h3>Video Widget</h3>\n<p>A welcome video is a great way to humanize the branding of your website. You can now add any video from the Media Library to a sidebar on your site with the new Video widget. Use this to showcase a welcome video to introduce visitors to your site or promote your latest and greatest content.</p>\n<h3>Audio Widget</h3>\n<p>Are you a podcaster, musician, or avid blogger? Adding a widget with your audio file has never been easier. Upload your audio file to the Media Library, go to the widget settings, select your file, and you’re ready for listeners. This would be a easy way to add a more personal welcome message, too!</p>\n<h3>Rich Text Widget</h3>\n<p>This feature deserves a parade down the center of town! Rich-text editing capabilities are now native for Text widgets. Add a widget anywhere and format away. Create lists, add emphasis, and quickly and easily insert links. Have fun with your newfound formatting powers, and watch what you can accomplish in a short amount of time.</p>\n<hr />\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">Link Boundaries</h2>\n<div id=\"v-8BDWH3QG-1\" class=\"video-player\"><video id=\"v-8BDWH3QG-1-video\" width=\"632\" height=\"342\" poster=\"https://videos.files.wordpress.com/8BDWH3QG/3-link-boundaries_dvd.original.jpg\" controls=\"true\" preload=\"metadata\" dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><source src=\"https://videos.files.wordpress.com/8BDWH3QG/3-link-boundaries_dvd.mp4\" type=\"video/mp4; codecs="avc1.64001E, mp4a.40.2"\" /><source src=\"https://videos.files.wordpress.com/8BDWH3QG/3-link-boundaries_fmt1.ogv\" type=\"video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"\" /><div><img alt=\"Link Boundaries\" src=\"https://videos.files.wordpress.com/8BDWH3QG/3-link-boundaries_dvd.original.jpg?resize=632%2C342\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" /></div><p>Link Boundaries</p></video></div>\n<p>Have you ever tried updating a link, or the text around a link, and found you can’t seem to edit it correctly? When you edit the text after the link, your new text also ends up linked. Or you edit the text in the link, but your text ends up outside of it. This can be frustrating! With link boundaries, a great new feature, the process is streamlined and your links will work well. You’ll be happier. We promise.</p>\n<hr />\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">Nearby WordPress Events</h2>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4779 size-large\" src=\"https://i2.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2017/06/events-widget.png?resize=632%2C465&ssl=1\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https://i2.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2017/06/events-widget.png?resize=1024%2C753&ssl=1 1024w, https://i2.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2017/06/events-widget.png?resize=300%2C221&ssl=1 300w, https://i2.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2017/06/events-widget.png?resize=768%2C565&ssl=1 768w, https://i2.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2017/06/events-widget.png?w=1126&ssl=1 1126w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 632px) 100vw, 632px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" /></p>\n<p>Did you know that WordPress has a thriving offline community with groups meeting regularly in more than 400 cities around the world? WordPress now draws your attention to the events that help you continue improving your WordPress skills, meet friends, and, of course, publish!</p>\n<p>This is quickly becoming one of our favorite features. While you are in the dashboard (because you’re running updates and writing posts, right?) all upcoming WordCamps and official WordPress Meetups — local to you — will be displayed.</p>\n<p>Being part of the community can help you improve your WordPress skills and network with people you wouldn’t otherwise meet. Now you can easily find your local events just by logging in to your dashboard and looking at the new Events and News dashboard widget.</p>\n<hr />\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">Even More Developer Happiness <img src=\"https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/2.3/72x72/1f60a.png\" alt=\"?\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" /></h2>\n<h3><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/05/17/cleaner-headings-in-the-admin-screens/\">More Accessible Admin Panel Headings</a></h3>\n<p>New CSS rules mean extraneous content (like “Add New” links) no longer need to be included in admin-area headings. These panel headings improve the experience for people using assistive technologies.</p>\n<h3><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/05/22/removal-of-core-embedding-support-for-wmv-and-wma-file-formats/\">Removal of Core Support for WMV and WMA Files</a></h3>\n<p>As fewer and fewer browsers support Silverlight, file formats which require the presence of the Silverlight plugin are being removed from core support. Files will still display as a download link, but will no longer be embedded automatically.</p>\n<h3><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/05/22/multisite-focused-changes-in-4-8/\">Multisite Updates</a></h3>\n<p>New capabilities have been introduced to 4.8 with an eye towards removing calls to<br />\n<code>is_super_admin()</code>. Additionally, new hooks and tweaks to more granularly control site and user counts per network have been added.</p>\n<h3><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/05/23/addition-of-tinymce-to-the-text-widget/\">Text-Editor JavaScript API</a></h3>\n<p>With the addition of TinyMCE to the text widget in 4.8 comes a new JavaScript API for instantiating the editor after page load. This can be used to add an editor instance to any text area, and customize it with buttons and functions. Great for plugin authors!</p>\n<h3><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/05/26/media-widgets-for-images-video-and-audio/\">Media Widgets API</a></h3>\n<p>The introduction of a new base media widget REST API schema to 4.8 opens up possibilities for even more media widgets (like galleries or playlists) in the future. The three new media widgets are powered by a shared base class that covers most of the interactions with the media modal. That class also makes it easier to create new media widgets and paves the way for more to come.</p>\n<h3><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/05/16/customizer-sidebar-width-is-now-variable/\">Customizer Width Variable</a></h3>\n<p>Rejoice! New responsive breakpoints have been added to the customizer sidebar to make it wider on high-resolution screens. Customizer controls should use percentage-based widths instead of pixels.</p>\n<hr />\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">The Squad</h2>\n<p>This release was led by <a href=\"https://matt.blog\">Matt</a> and <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/jbpaul17\">Jeff Paul</a>, with the help of the following fabulous folks.

It provides tools that improve the quality and consistency of communication with reporters, and will reduce the time spent on responding to commonly reported issues. This frees our team to spend more time working on improving the security of WordPress.</p>\n<p>The security team has been working on this project for quite some time. Nikolay Bachiyski started the team working on it just over a year ago. We ran it as a private program while we worked out our procedures and processes, and are excited to finally make it public.</p>\n<p>With the announcement of the WordPress HackerOne program we are also introducing bug bounties. Bug bounties let us reward reporters for disclosing issues to us and helping us secure our products and infrastructure. We’ve already awarded more than $3,700 in bounties to seven different reporters! We are thankful to Automattic for paying the bounties on behalf of the WordPress project.</p>\n<p>The program and bounties cover all our projects including WordPress, BuddyPress, bbPress, GlotPress, and WP-CLI as well as all of our sites including WordPress.org, bbPress.org, WordCamp.org, BuddyPress.org, and GlotPress.org.</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:\"4730\";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:9;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:33:\"\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:20:\"WordPress 4.8 Beta 1\";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:56:\"https://wordpress.org/news/2017/05/wordpress-4-8-beta-1/\";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:\"Sat, 13 May 2017 00:15:59 +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:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:8:\"Releases\";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=4727\";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:342:\"We’re planning a smaller WP release early next month, bringing in three major enhancements: An improved visual editor experience, with a new TinyMCE that allows you to navigate more intuitively in and out of inline elements like links.

Participants and subscribers to the <a href=\"https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/10191\" target=\"_blank\">GitHub thread</a> waited weeks for a decision on re-licensing while Facebook’s engineering directors discussed the matter internally. The request has now formally been <a href=\"https://code.facebook.com/posts/112130496157735/explaining-react-s-license/\" target=\"_blank\">denied</a>.</p>\n<p>“I’d like to apologize for the amount of thrash, confusion, and uncertainty this has caused the React and open source communities,” Facebook engineer Adam Wolff said. “We know this is painful, especially for teams that feel like they’re going to need to rewrite large parts of their project to remove React or other dependencies. We’ve been looking for ways around this and have reached out to ASF to see if we could try to work with them, but have come up empty.”</p>\n<p>The request for re-licensing had received 851 “thumbs-up” reactions on GitHub and many developers commented to say that the ASF’s policy disallowing the BSD+Patents license <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/petition-to-re-license-react-has-been-escalated-to-facebooks-engineering-directors\" target=\"_blank\">affects their organizations’ ability to continue using React</a> and other open source projects from Facebook. Others said they would like to use React but the licensing makes it impossible for their companies.</p>\n<h3>Facebook Cites “Meritless Patent Litigation” as the Reason Behind Adopting the BSD + Patents License</h3>\n<p>Wolff’s <a href=\"https://code.facebook.com/posts/112130496157735/explaining-react-s-license/\" target=\"_blank\">post</a> announcing Facebook’s decision said that the team has not done a good job of communicating the reasons behind its BSD + Patents license and offered a more in-depth explanation:</p>\n<blockquote><p>As our business has become successful, we’ve become a larger target for meritless patent litigation. This type of litigation can be extremely costly in terms of both resources and attention. It would have been easy for us to stop contributing to open source, or to do what some other large companies do and only release software that isn’t used in our most successful products, but we decided to take a different approach. We decided to add a clear patent grant when we release software under the 3-clause BSD license, creating what has come to be known as the BSD + Patents license. The patent grant says that if you’re going to use the software we’ve released under it, you lose the patent license from us if you sue us for patent infringement. We believe that if this license were widely adopted, it could actually reduce meritless litigation for all adopters, and we want to work with others to explore this possibility.</p></blockquote>\n<p>The ASF’s decision to disallow the BSD+Patents license was for policy reasons, not a legal decision based on incompatibility. Greg Stein, commenting on behalf of ASF on a separate GitHub issue, <a href=\"https://github.com/omcljs/om/issues/882\" target=\"_blank\">said</a> that the ASF didn’t want downstream users of Apache code to be surprised by the PATENTS grant that was previously in RocksDB and is still in React. The organization wanted users to have no further constraints other than following the ALv2.</p>\n<p>“While we respect this decision, it hurts to see so many great ASF projects get churned for policy reasons after using this license for years,” Wolff said in Facebook’s announcement. The company made it clear that they will not be re-licensing React or any other projects simply to satisfy ASF’s policy requirements.</p>\n<p>“We have considered possible changes carefully, but we won’t be changing our default license or React’s license at this time,” Wolff said. “We recognize that we may lose some React community members because of this decision. We are sorry for that, but we need to balance our desire to participate in open source with our desire to protect ourselves from costly litigation. We think changing our approach would inhibit our ability to continue releasing meaningful open source software and increase the amount of time and money we have to spend fighting meritless lawsuits.”</p>\n<p>Many from the OSS community expressed disappointment and frustration in their initial reactions on Twitter:</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">“People like to sue us,” is a poor rationalization.

WordPress’ new Gutenberg editor is also built using React, as the project’s chief contributors are employed by Automattic.

Contributors are discussing the page’s outline and are aiming to tackle the project in a friendly and sensitive way that doesn’t put stress on users.</p>\n<p>“The section ‘<em>What should you need to know before doing an update?</em>‘ must not unnecessarily make the user worry,” Arntz said, recapping the thoughts contributors expressed during the team’s most recent meeting. “Let’s highlight possible issues, but not overestimate them.

As we continue with <a href=\"https://lorelle.wordpress.com/classes-and-workshops/wordpress-school/\" title=\"WordPress School « Lorelle on WordPress\">Lorelle’s WordPress School free online course</a>, it’s time to explore the basics of WordPress shortcodes.</p>\n<p>The following is the embed code for a Google Map, pointing to one of my favorite local museums, <a href=\"http://ricenorthwestmuseum.com/\">The Rice Northwest Rocks and Minerals Museum</a> in Hillsboro, Oregon:</p>\n<p><code><a href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d2792.809130780463!2d-122.94987648443889!3d45.57427677910247!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x54950456e76e254b%3A0xdfad5d11bde5b6cc!2s26385+NW+Groveland+Dr%2C+Hillsboro%2C+OR+97124!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1502560000052\">https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d2792.809130780463!2d-122.94987648443889!3d45.57427677910247!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x54950456e76e254b%3A0xdfad5d11bde5b6cc!2s26385+NW+Groveland+Dr%2C+Hillsboro%2C+OR+97124!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1502560000052</a></code></p>\n<p>When the post or Page is saved, WordPress.com automatically converts it to the embed code for Google Maps like this:</p>\n<p><code>[googlemaps https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d2792.809130780463!2d-122.94987648443889!3d45.57427677910247!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x54950456e76e254b%3A0xdfad5d11bde5b6cc!2s26385+NW+Groveland+Dr%2C+Hillsboro%2C+OR+97124!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1502560000052&w=600&h=450]</code></p>\n<p>This is what you see in your Visual or Text/HTML editors. Doesn’t look like a map, yet, does it? </p>\n<p>When the post is previewed or published, you will see the map like this:</p>\n<div class=\"googlemaps\"></div>\n<p>The map is not a screenshot. It is interactive. Zoom in and out and move around on the map. The <a href=\"https://en.support.wordpress.com/google-maps/\" title=\"Google Maps — Support — WordPress.com\">Google Maps shortcode</a> taps into the Google Maps API allowing a live section of the map to be embedded on your site to help people find locations and directions. </p>\n<p>Google Maps are a great way of providing instructions to the location of a store or company on a Contact web page. They are also fun to embed in a post about a favorite park, hike, fishing hole, vacation spot, or even create a custom map that charts your travels, hikes, or a specific route for shopping or exploring. </p>\n<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> <em>Google Map embeds are tricky. You need to search for the exact address and use that embed code. If you search for a business name, you may get an invalid server request from Google Maps. Also note that WordPress.com has made it easier to use shortcodes by skipping the extra code and converting links and embed codes automatically to shortcodes. This may require saving your post as a draft twice before you can see the results on the front end preview of the post or Page.</em></p>\n<p>Shortcodes allow the user to add content and functionality to a WordPress site without knowing extensive code or digging into the programming of a WordPress Theme or Plugin. With the shortcut of a shortcode, WordPress users may add all sorts of customization features to their site.</p>\n<p>There are a variety of shortcodes in the core of WordPress. WordPress Themes have the ability to enable or disable these, and add more, as do WordPress Plugins.</p>\n<p>Let’s experiment with the <a title=\"Archives Shortcode — Support — WordPress.com\" href=\"http://en.support.wordpress.com/archives-shortcode/\">Archives Shortcode</a>.</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Add a New Page to your site. Title it “Site Map” or “Archives.”</li>\n<li>Type in <code>[archives]</code>.</li>\n<li>Preview, then publish the post when ready to see a listing of all of the published posts on your site in a list.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Check out my <a href=\"https://lorelle.wordpress.com/site-map/\" title=\"Site Map « Lorelle on WordPress\">site map</a> as an example of what’s possible. </p>\n<h3>What You Need to Know About WordPress Shortcodes</h3>\n<p>Shortcodes come with WordPress out of the box, and also with WordPress Themes and Plugins. These snippets of code allow the user to add functionality to their site without touching the code. </p>\n<p>The PHP code that enables the functionality, and adds the ability to use the abbreviated code to generate that functionality on the site, is called a <code>function</code>. </p>\n<p>At its core, this is the function found to generate all WordPress Shortcodes:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: xml; title: ; notranslate\">//[foobar]\nfunction foobar_func( $atts ){\n return \"foo and bar\";\n}\nadd_shortcode( \'foobar\', \'foobar_func\' );</pre>\n<p>The attributes, represented in this abbreviated version by <code>$atts</code>, are the instructions as to what the shortcode is to do.</p>\n<p>In the expanded form with functionality, I’ve called the shortcode “elephant” and set up two attribute values, “trumpet loudly” and “stomp.” </p>\n<pre class=\"brush: xml; title: ; notranslate\">// [elephant foo=\"foo-value\"]\nfunction elephant_func( $atts ) {\n $a = shortcode_atts( array(\n \'foo\' => \'trumpet loudly\',\n \'bar\' => \'stomp\',\n ), $atts );\n\n return \"foo = {$a[\'foo\']}\";\n}\nadd_shortcode( \'elephant\', \'elephant_func\' );</pre>\n<p>Depending upon what “foo” and “bar” represent, the results would be “trumpet loudly” and “stomp.” What these represent are HTML code, modifications to HTML code, and initiates the programming such as generating a list of all the posts you’ve published as an archive list.</p>\n<p>Right now, you aren’t at the stage where you can program shortcodes and add them to WordPress Themes or create WordPress Plugins, so I’m not going to dive into these much deeper. You need to learn how these work and how to use them on your site, and the more you use them, the better feel you will have for what a shortcode can do on your site. </p>\n<p>WordPress.com offers a <a href=\"https://en.support.wordpress.com/category/shortcodes/\" title=\"Support — WordPress.com\">wide range of shortcodes</a> to add functionality to your site. To learn about how to use these, see <a title=\"Shortcodes — Support — WordPress.com\" href=\"http://en.support.wordpress.com/shortcodes/\">Shortcodes — Support</a>. </p>\n<p>Here are some examples of shortcodes to experiment with on WordPress.com.</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/\" title=\"YouTube — Support — WordPress.com\">YouTube Shortcode</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://en.support.wordpress.com/audio/\" title=\"Audio — Support — WordPress.com\">Audio Shortcode</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://en.support.wordpress.com/soundcloud-audio-player/\">SoundCloud Audio Player Shortcode</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://en.support.wordpress.com/gallery/\" title=\"Galleries and Slideshows — Support — WordPress.com\">Galleries and Slideshows Shortcode</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://en.support.wordpress.com/instagram/\" title=\"Instagram — Support — WordPress.com\">Instagram Shortcode</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://en.support.wordpress.com/archives-shortcode/\" title=\"Create an Archive using the Archives Shortcode — Support — WordPress.com\">Archives Shortcode</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://en.support.wordpress.com/blog-subscription-shortcode/\" title=\"Blog Subscription Shortcode — Support — WordPress.com\">Blog Subscription Shortcode</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://en.support.wordpress.com/forms/contact-form/\" title=\"Contact Form — Support — WordPress.com\">Contact Form Shortcode</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://en.support.wordpress.com/google-maps/\" title=\"Google Maps — Support — WordPress.com\">Google Maps Shortcode</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://en.support.wordpress.com/recipes/\" title=\"Recipes — Support — WordPress.com\">Recipes Shortcode</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h4>More Information on WordPress Shortcodes</h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Shortcodes — Support — WordPress.com\" href=\"http://en.support.wordpress.com/shortcodes/\">Shortcodes – Support – WordPress.com</a></li>\n<li><a title=\"Shortcodes — Support — WordPress.com\" href=\"http://en.support.wordpress.com/shortcodes/\">List of Shortcodes available for WordPress.com sites</a></li>\n<li><a title=\"Shortcode « WordPress Codex\" href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode\">Shortcode – WordPress Codex</a></li>\n<li><a title=\"Support — WordPress.com\" href=\"http://en.support.wordpress.com/category/shortcodes/\">Shortcodes for WordPress.com</a></li>\n<li><a title=\"Gallery Shortcode « WordPress Codex\" href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Gallery_Shortcode\">Gallery Shortcode – WordPress Codex</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2012/05/wordpress-shortcodes-complete-guide/\" title=\"WordPress Shortcodes: A Complete Guide – Smashing Magazine\">WordPress Shortcodes: A Complete Guide – Smashing Magazine</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-a-shortcode-in-wordpress/\" title=\"How to Add A Shortcode in WordPress?\">How to Add A Shortcode in WordPress? – WPBeginner</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/7-essential-tips-for-using-shortcodes-in-wordpress/\" title=\"7 Essential Tips for Using Shortcodes in WordPress\">7 Essential Tips for Using Shortcodes in WordPress – WPBeginner</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://code.tutsplus.com/articles/getting-started-with-wordpress-shortcodes--wp-21197\" title=\"Getting Started With WordPress Shortcodes\">Getting Started With WordPress Shortcodes – Envatotuts+</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Assignment</h3>\n<p><img />Your assignment in these WordPress School exercises is to experiment with WordPress shortcodes, specifically the ones available on WordPress.com. </p>\n<p>I’ve listed some examples of shortcodes on WordPress.com above, and you may find more in the <a href=\"https://en.support.wordpress.com/category/shortcodes/\" title=\"Support — WordPress.com\">WordPress.com list of Shortcodes</a>.</p>\n<p>Your assignment is to use shortcodes to add features to your site. </p>\n<ul>\n<li>Create a Page called “Site Map” or “Archives” and add an archive list shortcode.</li>\n<li>Add a Google Map to a post or Page using the Google Maps shortcode.</li>\n<li>Add a gallery to a post or Page with the gallery shortcode, testing the various options (parameters) to get the look and feel you like best.</li>\n<li>Add a recipe to a post using the recipe shortcode.</li>\n<li>Find another shortcode with a variety of features to experiment with.

The project provides a beautiful experience for installing and setting up WordPress themes with all of their plugin dependencies, Customizer settings, widgets, demo content, and more.</p>\n<p>“I was inspired by David Baker’s <a href=\"https://github.com/dtbaker/envato-wp-theme-setup-wizard\" target=\"_blank\">Envato Theme Setup Wizard</a> and was working to add it to my own themes but pivoted after realizing I was just putting a band-aid on the onboarding issues surrounding themes in particular,” Tabor said. “It wasn’t a particularly grand experience and didn’t take care of the essentials the way I was looking for.”</p>\n<p>Tabor said he wanted to make the onboarding experience much friendlier than what WordPress products are typically known for and needed a way to get his customers started on the right foot.</p>\n<p>“Over the years I’ve had countless ‘how do I get this page like your demo’ and ‘where do I even start’ questions — and my themes aren’t even particularly confusing/difficult to use.” Tabor said.</p>\n<p>Ordinarily, users have to hop from screen to screen to install a theme, recommended plugins, and apply Customizer settings. Even an experienced WordPress user often has to refer to documentation to get a theme set up with the right customizations to match the demo. The video below shows an example of Merlin WP in action as it guides a user through setting up <a href=\"https://themebeans.com/themes/york-pro\" target=\"_blank\">York Pro</a>, a fork of one of ThemeBeans’ commercial themes that is included in Merlin WP’s GitHub repo.</p>\n<div class=\"embed-vimeo\"></div>\n<p>Merlin WP makes the process of setting up a theme nearly effortless for users. It also leaves less room for error or confusion.</p>\n<p>Developers can add Merlin WP directly to their theme files. It includes a configuration file that allows for customization of any text string in the wizard. Theme developers add the Merlin class (merlin/merlin.php) and the merlin-config.php file, along with any demo content (included in the demo directory location specified in the merlin-config.php file):</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>content.xml</strong> — Exported demo content using the WordPress Exporter</li>\n<li><strong>widgets.wie</strong> — Exported widgets using Widget Importer and Exporter</li>\n<li><strong>customizer.dat</strong> — Exported Customizer settings using Customizer Export/Import</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Merlin WP was also developed to work seamlessly with <a href=\"http://tgmpluginactivation.com/\" target=\"_blank\">TGMPA</a>, a PHP library that many WordPress developers use to require or recommend plugins for their themes and plugins. It will automatically pull the recommended plugins into the wizard.</p>\n<p>Tabor said his targeted distribution channel is commercial themes, though he believes Merlin WP could also be useful for themes hosted on WordPress.org.</p>\n<p>“I’m honestly not sure if it would be allowed,” Tabor said. “I guess that’s where getting more eyes on the project and more input from the Theme Review team comes in handy. I have had a lot of feedback from authors who are eventually considering adding Merlin WP as an ‘up-sell feature’ for their lite offerings currently on .org.”</p>\n<p>Tabor estimates that Merlin WP will be in beta for another two weeks. There are a few issues he wants to resolve before bringing it out of beta. He is testing the wizard in his own products at ThemeBeans, which is what he built it for originally. The shop has more than 40,000 customers and Tabor plans to push the wizard live across his entire theme collection once the last few issues are resolved.</p>\n<p>Merlin WP is GPL-licensed and <a href=\"https://github.com/richtabor/MerlinWP\" target=\"_blank\">available on GitHub</a> for any developer to use in open source projects. Tabor said he is considering creating a pro version but is not currently interested in pursuing an add-on model.</p>\n<p>“I’m considering having an advanced version, with different developer-level capabilities, such as EDD Software Licensing support (where theme users can enter their license key issued from the developer in the onboarding process),” Tabor said.</p>\n<p>Tabor anticipates one of the main benefits for theme shops using Merlin WP will be a decreased support load where questions about initial setup and “how do I do this like the demo” become less common.</p>\n<p>“Customers will have what they’ve purchased right off the bat (instead of installing plugins, installing a child theme, importing content, setting menus, widgets, etc),” Tabor said. “They will likely appreciate the ease-of-use and share that experience with others.”</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, 18 Aug 2017 01:19:49 +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:82:\"Post Status: Building a healthy remote company, with Tom Willmot — Draft podcast\";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:31:\"https://poststatus.com/?p=38655\";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:81:\"https://poststatus.com/building-healthy-remote-company-tom-willmot-draft-podcast/\";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:1876:\"<p>Welcome to the Post Status <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/category/draft\">Draft podcast</a>, which you can find <a href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/post-status-draft-wordpress/id976403008\">on iTunes</a>, <a href=\"https://play.google.com/music/m/Ih5egfxskgcec4qadr3f4zfpzzm?t=Post_Status__Draft_WordPress_Podcast\">Google Play</a>, <a href=\"http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/krogsgard/post-status-draft-wordpress-podcast\">Stitcher</a>, and <a href=\"http://simplecast.fm/podcasts/1061/rss\">via RSS</a> for your favorite podcatcher.

To figure out why this is, Millie Macdonald and Anna Harrison of Ephox, the company behind TinyMCE, <a href=\"https://go.tinymce.com/blog/gutenberg-editor-success-lies-timing/\">analyzed the feedback</a> and concluded that many of the issues likely stem from timing.</p>\n<p>“In short, the nuances in the micro-interactions and timing of UI elements in Gutenberg are a little out of sync with what the user is doing at a point in time,” Harrison said. “For example, a user typing in a new paragraph is distracted when the decoration of the previous paragraph turns on.”</p>\n<p>A common piece of feedback is that Gutenberg’s UI is clean but also cluttered. Harrison recorded a video of users copying and pasting paragraphs into Gutenberg and Medium.</p>\n<p>In the video, toolbars and UI elements are displayed in Gutenberg during the writing process creating a cluttered look and disrupting the writing flow. In Medium, the formatting toolbar doesn’t display until text is highlighted and the + symbol disappears if it’s not interacted with.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Based on user testing, Harrison suggests refining the timing of when visual elements pop up in Gutenberg. “Right now, menus pop up when we are trying to type,” Harrison said. “They ought to pop up when we are trying to do something to words that have already been typed.”</p>\n<p>Harrison <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/2279\">presented their findings</a> and suggestions to Gutenberg’s development team. Tammie Lister, design lead for Gutenberg, <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/2279#issuecomment-321379994\">agreed</a> that getting micro-transactions right is important. “I see this as the type of refinement post version 0.9/1 can bring,” Lister said.</p>\n<p>“A few things I am slightly obsessed with is having an animation pace, story and consistency to interactions. Just something to throw in when looking at micro-interactions. I’ve also been doing some self thinking about what the ‘feel’ of emotion of Gutenberg should be. The one I keep coming back to is ‘calm’ and ‘supporting’. Just another thing to throw in when looking at these smaller details.”</p>\n<p>Developers thanked Harrison and Macdonald for collecting, analyzing, and sharing data with the team.

One new idea they are pursuing is <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/support/2017/07/the-developers-guide-to-supporting-your-themes-a-support-workshop/\" target=\"_blank\">hosting workshops</a> where WordPress.org theme and plugin authors can present how they approach supporting their free, open source products that have been released to the community.</p>\n<p>Some users approach WordPress.org plugins and themes with realistic expectations regarding the support they might receive on tickets. Others approach these free products as if they were all built with large teams of professional support behind them, which is rarely the case. This often results in frustration, one-star reviews, and ultimately a bad reputation for products hosted in the official directories. It is also one of the primary reasons developers forgo putting products on WordPress.org and simply opt to host them on GitHub.</p>\n<p>The new workshops will offer concrete strategies for bridging the chasm of expectation regarding support that exists between developers and users. WordPress.org theme and plugin authors will share the tools and ideas they have implemented to offer support while creating a positive experience for everyone involved.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://kpresner.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Kathryn Presner</a>, who supports hundreds of themes at Automattic, will be leading the first workshop titled “The Developers Guide to Supporting Your Themes:”</p>\n<blockquote><p>Providing support for your themes offers tremendous opportunities to educate WordPress users, from explaining how to make a child theme to offering simple CSS customisations. It also presents challenges, like figuring out how to help people who aren’t tech-savvy or need support beyond the scope of what you can provide. While many developers dread doing support, with some concrete strategies and techniques in hand, helping users doesn’t have to be a chore – and can even be fun! This session looks at how to make your themes’ users happy while feeling a sense of satisfaction from your own support efforts – a winning combination in the world of theme development.</p></blockquote>\n<p>WordPress.org theme authors will want to mark their calendars for <a href=\"http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20170823T1600\" target=\"_blank\">Wednesday, August 23 at 11 AM CDT</a>. The workshop will be broadcast live as a Zoom teleconference and will last for an hour, including time for a Q&A at the end. Zoom can <a href=\"https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362023-System-Requirements-for-PC-Mac-and-Linux\" target=\"_blank\">run on desktop</a> and also offers <a href=\"https://zoom.us/download\" target=\"_blank\">apps for mobile devices</a>.

The plugin was created by UK-based web developer <a href=\"https://jonnya.net/\" target=\"_blank\">Jonny Allbut</a> for internal use at <a href=\"https://wider.co.uk/\" target=\"_blank\">Wider</a>, a company he set up for handling WordPress clients’ needs.</p>\n<p>One aspect of complying with the EU’s <a href=\"http://www.eugdpr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">General Data Protection Regulation</a> (GDPR) is ensuring that contact forms do not store any personally identifiable data on the server. The regulation becomes enforceable in May 2018 and sites that serve EU citizens are preparing for the deadline with audits and changes to how they handle privacy.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.gravityforms.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Gravity Forms</a> doesn’t offer a built-in option to stop entries from being stored on the server but GF co-founder Carl Hancock says there are a variety of ways to accomplish this.</p>\n<p>“If all you want to do is simply email the contents of the form and not store the data in the database as part of the route you’d like to take for GDPR compliance, this plugin would be one method of doing so,” Hancock said. He also referenced Gravity Wiz’s commercial <a href=\"https://gravitywiz.com/documentation/gravity-forms-disable-entry-creation/\" target=\"_blank\">Disable Entry Creation</a> plugin. Developers can also <a href=\"https://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/article/delete-entry-data-after-submission/\" target=\"_blank\">delete entry data after submission</a> via a hook.</p>\n<p>“However, the GDPR doesn’t preclude storing form entries in a database and is entirely dependent on the type of data you are storing and the other safeguards and functionality you have put in place,” Hancock said. “It’s a complex issue and I’m not entirely sure the EU fully understands the burden and implications that may come with it.”</p>\n<p>Ultimately, the requirement of compliance falls upon website administrators who are the ones collecting the data. It is their responsibility to select tools that will protect their users’ privacy.</p>\n<p>“While it won’t provide GDPR compliance on its own, Jonny’s extension is a much-needed step in the right direction,” digital law specialist <a href=\"https://webdevlaw.uk\" target=\"_blank\">Heather Burns</a> said. Burns consults with companies that need assistance in getting their sites GDPR compliant. “GDPR requires adherence to the <a href=\"https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2017/07/privacy-by-design-framework/\" target=\"_blank\">principles of privacy by design</a> and part of that is data minimization and deletion.”</p>\n<p>WordPress has dozens of popular contact form plugins, both free and commercial. Many of them store entries in the database in case the recipient’s email has problems, preventing the communication from becoming lost. Site administrators who are concerned about GDPR compliance will want to examine the solution they have selected for forms. Burns advised that contact form plugins need to do the following three things:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ensure that personal and sensitive personal data from form entries is not stored in the database;</li>\n<li>Provide configuration options to allow contact form entries to be automatically deleted after a certain period of time;</li>\n<li>Ensure that all contact form data is deleted when the plugin is deactivated or deleted.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>“Unfortunately the direction of travel has been the exact opposite: contact form entries tend to be stored in perpetuity on the database regardless of content or necessity,” Burns said. “Contact form plugins with options to automatically delete form submissions after a certain period of time are rare. I’ve even seen contact form extensions which duplicate entries to a separate table, which, all things considered, is madness. We need to be developing towards data minimization and deletion, not retention and duplication.”</p>\n<p>Last month JJ Jay <a href=\"https://tharshetests.wordpress.com/2017/06/19/wp-contact-form-remnants/\" target=\"_blank\">published</a> an analysis of how and where popular WordPress contact forms plugins store data. This is a useful reference for site administrators who are not sure how their chosen solution handles data collection and storage. She suggested a few questions for users to ask when examining contact forms:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Can the option to store data be turned on and off?</li>\n<li>At what granularity?</li>\n<li>Can the data be deleted when the plugin is deleted?</li>\n<li>What personally identifiable data, other than the data from each form, is stored? (i.e. <a href=\"https://arstechnica.co.uk/tech-policy/2016/10/eu-dynamic-static-ip-personal-data/\" target=\"_blank\">a user’s IP address</a>)</li>\n<li>Is it possible to delete the submissions on an ad-hoc or scheduled basis?</li>\n</ul>\n<p>If you’re not sure what could be leftover in your database from other plugins, Jay has also created a “<a href=\"https://github.com/tharsheblows/mjj-whats-in-my-database\" target=\"_blank\">What’s in my database?</a>” plugin that administrators can install and access under the Tools menu. It is read-only and lists every table and its columns, so users can see if there are any surprises.</p>\n<h3>British Pregnancy Advice Service (BPAS) Hack Highlights the Danger of Storing Contact Form Entries in the Database</h3>\n<p>In educating website owners about the dangers of storing sensitive personal data, Heather Burns often cites the 2012 British Pregnancy Advice Service (BPAS) hack as one of the worst examples of the consequences of storing contact form entries in databases. The hacker, who was later jailed, stole thousands of records from the charity, which was running on an unknown outdated CMS with weak passwords. The site had not undergone a privacy impact assessment on its personal data collection and storage methods.</p>\n<p>“One of the services BPAS offers is access to abortions,” Burns said. “Many of their service users come over from Ireland, where abortion is banned under nearly all circumstances. The site had a contact form where women could enquire about abortions. BPAS thought that messages were merely passing through the site; no one within the organization had any clue that a copy of each contact form submission was stored on the database. Somewhat inevitably, the site was easily hacked by an anti-abortion activist who downloaded the database. He found himself in possession over 5,000 contact form submissions going back over five years containing women’s names, email addresses, phone numbers, and the fact that they were enquiring about abortions. He then announced his intention to publish the womens’ data on an anti-abortion forum.”</p>\n<p>The hacker was caught and arrested before he had the opportunity to publish the list. He received 32 months of jail time and BPAS was fined £200k for the data protection breaches.</p>\n<p>“As well as criticizing the charity for their technical failures, the regulator called attention to the fact that no one on the staff had thought to ask the proper questions about the tools they were using; they were also angry that the site had a legalistic privacy policy which was clearly not worth the pixels it was printed on,” Burns said. “All of these failures were deemed inadmissible and inexcusable by the data protection regulator. It is no exaggeration to say that women could have been killed because of a contact form.”</p>\n<p>Auditing contact forms is just one piece of the puzzle for those working towards GDPR compliance. Burns recommends that site administrators conduct a privacy impact assessment of personal and sensitive data that is submitted through forms. Privacy notices should also be clear about how this data is handled and how long it is retained before it is deleted.</p>\n<p>The GDPR was written to be extraterritorial and states that the regulations apply to any site or service that has European users. These sites are expected to protect EU users’ data according to European regulations. Many American company owners are not yet convinced that this is enforceable outside of EU borders and have not invested in getting their online entities to be compliant.</p>\n<p>“GDPR provides a very useful framework for user protection, which is now more important than ever,” Burns said. “I’m encouraging Americans to work to GDPR because it’s a constructive accountable framework that’s a hell of a lot better than nothing.”</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wider-gravity-forms-stop-entries/\" target=\"_blank\">Wider Gravity Forms Stop Entries</a> is currently the only plugin in the official WordPress directory that addresses GDPR concerns for a specific contact form plugin. Others may become available as the May 2018 deadline approaches. Jonny Allbut warns users in the FAQ to test the plugin with third-party GF extensions before adding it to a live site, as some extensions may rely on referencing data entries stored in form submissions.</p>\n<p>I asked Carl Hancock if Gravity Forms might make storing form entries in the database an optional feature and he confirmed they are considering it.</p>\n<p>“Yes, this is certainly possible,” Hancock said. “We try to avoid conflicts with available 3rd party add-ons for Gravity Forms to encourage their development,” Hancock said. “But unfortunately it is not always avoidable. It is a feature that has been requested numerous times in the past and I suspect with the GDPR it will be a feature that will be requested even more going forward.”</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, 16 Aug 2017 23:03:45 +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:10;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:46:\"Post Status: Free speech, privacy, and the web\";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:31:\"https://poststatus.com/?p=38615\";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:51:\"https://poststatus.com/free-speech-privacy-and-web/\";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:7492:\"<p>Politics and the web are intersecting more and more. In recent news, at least three WordPress related companies have been getting broad media attention.</p>\n<p>In just a few days, we’ve seen GoDaddy <a href=\"https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/8/14/16143820/godaddy-and-google-wont-host-daily-stormer-domain\">shut down a site</a> for violating terms and conditions, <a href=\"https://www.fastcompany.com/40454089/wordpress-bans-website-of-fascist-group-linked-to-alleged-charlottesville-killer\">as well as</a> Automattic. DreamHost received significant attention for <a href=\"https://www.dreamhost.com/blog/we-fight-for-the-users/\">refusing to release site visitor information</a> to the US Department of Justice.</p>\n<p>I think the most relevant angle for this website is to note that it’s important for web-based services to be prepared for the unexpected news cycles that revolve around web-based properties.</p>\n<p>How well does your PR team know your terms and conditions? What’s your stance on free speech, and when can that cross a line into speech or content that your service is ready to limit? The definitions can be narrow; let’s look at Automattic’s decision to shut down a site called Blood and Soil.</p>\n<p>It’s a despicable site, and it has been for a while. Automattic is aware of the sites that exist on WordPress.com, and this isn’t their first rodeo with objectionable sites receiving lots of backlash from advocacy groups. For instance, the Guccifer 2.0 person or group that hacked the Democratic National Committee was on WordPress.com, and they still are. There are countless others, some hacking related, some simply vile or hate-filled.</p>\n<p>So what makes a site cross the line for a particular service? GoDaddy’s Ben Butler <a href=\"https://www.fastcompany.com/40411086/activists-push-back-against-the-platforms-that-quietly-empower-hate-groups\">described to Fast Company</a> that they draw the line between speech and violence:</p>\n<blockquote><p>GoDaddy’s Ben Butler described to Fast Company that they draw the line between speech and violence:</p>\n<p>“We strongly support the First Amendment and are very much against censorship on the internet,” writes Ben Butler, director of the Digital Crimes Unit for <a href=\"https://www.godaddy.com/\">GoDaddy</a>, in an email. He adds that, “if a site promotes, encourages, or engages in violence against people, we will take action.”</p></blockquote>\n<p>The GoDaddy decision (which Google followed up with as well) was especially interesting because they made the decision as the domain registrar, not a content host. In that case they weren’t actually providing the hosting service.</p>\n<p>Automattic has similar policies. Specifically, they link to <a href=\"https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-guidelines/\">user guidelines</a> within their <a href=\"https://en.wordpress.com/tos/\">ToS</a>, which has a clause for “directly threatening material.”</p>\n<blockquote><p>Do not post direct and realistic threats of violence. That is, you cannot post a genuine call for violence—or death—against an individual person, or groups of persons. This doesn’t mean that we’ll remove all hyperbole or offensive language.</p></blockquote>\n<p>They also have a specific policy (not directly linked from their ToS) for <a href=\"https://en.support.wordpress.com/terrorist-activity/\">terrorist activity</a>, and a provision to allow them to remove content or users for any reason.</p>\n<p>The terrorist in Charlottesville aligned himself with Blood And Soil, prompting Automattic to pull the plug — as the line was crossed.</p>\n<p>DreamHost’s <a href=\"https://www.dreamhost.com/blog/we-fight-for-the-users/\">pushback to the government</a> was about First Amendment concerns as well, primarily with visitors:</p>\n<blockquote><p>The request from the DOJ demands that DreamHost hand over 1.3 <em>million</em> visitor IP addresses — in addition to contact information, email content, and photos of <strong>thousands</strong> of people — in an effort to determine who simply <em>visited</em> the website. (Our customer has also been notified of the pending warrant on the account.)</p>\n<p>That information could be used to identify any individuals who used this site to exercise and express political speech protected under the Constitution’s First Amendment. That should be enough to set alarm bells off in anyone’s mind.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Every host deals with requests that may not require visitor information but definitely do require account information. Automattic’s Paul Sieminski provided a helpful post on the <a href=\"https://transparency.automattic.com/2017/07/25/shining-light-on-national-security-letters/\">types of requests they get</a>, and how they handle them.</p>\n<p>The US has broad protections built into the First Amendment covering free speech. Platforms are not required to meet those protections; however, many are strident supporters of the First Amendment. Those protections are often for some of the most unpopular types of content. The Supreme Court has ruled there’s <a href=\"https://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/2017/08/14/there-hate-speech-exception-first-amendment/q9m4IqfQvbo24nnlnPor1O/story.html\">no hate speech exception in the First Amendment</a>, and this ruling has been cited recently in a trademark case.</p>\n<p>I think the author of the above-cited op-ed makes a good point:</p>\n<blockquote><p>We can and should speak up against hate. As the Supreme Court makes clear, there’s no hate speech exception to the First Amendment. With that freedom comes a heavy burden for government officials like Baker and Walsh, who must try to keep protected speech from turning into acts of violence.</p></blockquote>\n<p>The burden is also heavy for platforms who are dedicated to providing a place for unpopular opinions. There are many times when the unpopular opinion, or anti-government opinion, is incredibly important to protect. But when speech stems over into violence, then I believe platforms have not only a right, but also a responsibility to take a stand.</p>\n<p>It’s important for organizations to be educated about and consistent with their own terms of service, company-wide. I’m afraid these hard questions about speech, rights, and responsibility will be pretty common for a while to come. And as fast as information spreads — for instance, the calls for GoDaddy to shut down a hate site this week came in a fury, part of a quickly viral Twitter post — acting quickly and consistently will be incredibly important.</p>\n<p>I’ve talked about platforms and services with some control over their user base. The obvious other side of this is that there is a whole segment of our community with no control over their users. Your theme, plugin, and WordPress itself can be used without permission by absolutely anyone, and of course that’s by design. WordPress or a WordPress-related product could be identified and criticized virally for enabling objectionable users and content</p>\n<p>As a community, are we prepared to respond to that?</p>\n<p>PS: If you’re a journalist writing about WordPress.com and issues like these, please understand the difference between WordPress.com, owned by Automattic, and WordPress the software. <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/resources/wordpress-versus-automattic/\">I wrote a handy guide for you</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, 16 Aug 2017 18:38:54 +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:15:\"Brian Krogsgard\";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:11;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:41:\"HeroPress: The Greatest Screenplay Writer\";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:56:\"https://heropress.com/?post_type=heropress-essays&p=2033\";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:126:\"https://heropress.com/essays/greatest-screenplay-writer/#utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=greatest-screenplay-writer\";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:14463:\"<img width=\"960\" height=\"480\" src=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/081617-1024x512.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"Pull Quote: WordPress is not like any other open source communityI saw before.\" /><p>My upbringing was not quite usual Serbian upbringing. I was almost forbidden to do things I didn’t really love. My parents insisted on trying things and finding that deep passion. But I didn’t have to search and try. I always knew what I’d be when I grow up. As long as I remember, there was no doubt.</p>\n<h3>A classical musician</h3>\n<p>When I was 8 my mom took me to local music school for entrance examination. I was in! Oh, joy! Finally I was learning to play and sing, to read and write this new language. Italian. Oh, music scores too! There was a whole new world that my parents, or anyone in my family, didn’t know anything about and I was stepping into it. I was doing just fine in it.. and I couldn’t live outside of it.</p>\n<p>As time passed, I finished elementary and high music school, went to music Academy, almost finished it and then my mother died. It was 2003. Two weeks later I found out I was pregnant. There was no time for grief and I couldn’t feel the joy. I just switched off and turned to the facts: I became a mom and a wife and I needed a job.</p>\n<p>And what a job did I found. An opera prompter. Opera Prompter! God, I love that job. Every second of it for ten years. I was yelling at singers, singing, conducting, traveling, laughing and crying. My Italian was significantly improved. Working time was great – so much free time to be a mom, study for Academy, get a hobby…</p>\n<h3>Opera prompter’s hobby</h3>\n<p>In 2007 I was administrator in one English speaking forum with focus on software and hardware topics. It helped me to significantly improve my English. And my tech knowledge. Which was close to none when I registered. As one of administrators, occasionally I had to tweak site here and there. It was great! There was this code and when I would change something in code it would show on the site. Neat! I loved reading those files, finding patterns and parts written in humanly understandable forms. Later I learned those were called loops and conditionals. Also later I learned that this language is called PHP and that many other languages for building websites exist. Forum script was phpBB3.</p>\n<p>I was never a gamer. Never understood the point of game, besides finishing it. I guess PHP was to me what games are to passionate gamers. Like a puzzle or sudoku.</p>\n<p>At the same time my marriage was turning from bad into worse and in the beginning of 2008 I finally decided it was enough. We were working on Mozart’s “Don Giovanni” in Theater. I remember this so clearly because my divorce was just turning from bad into worse. Those few months lasted for centuries after which I still needed a lot of time to recover what’s left of my self-esteem. My complete mental and emotional health was destroyed after years of domestic violence.</p>\n<p>2009 was important year for me. The cognition of possibility to have local server on my own machine and test everything before executing it on live site turned out to be very helpful.</p>\n<p>In October I needed a blog script and friend recommended WordPress. It was 2.9 version. It didn’t really work well but everyone was writing about it. There were at least 5 new tutorials on various blogs every day. I was digesting them every morning with my first coffee. The ones I really liked I even reproduced in my shiny new localhost. Soon enough I developed a local monster with different widgets on each page, future posts archive, post series done with custom fields and God knows whatnot. This WordPress was slowly taking over my free time. Every second of it.</p>\n<h3>So, the WordPress it is</h3>\n<p>One day a friend of mine asked me to build him a website for his ensemble. And for money. Money? I never thought of getting money for this. This was too good of a hobby. But he’s a friend so I did it. Then another friend showed up with the same request. And another.. I became freelance WordPress developer before I could even understand what was happening. It wasn’t really a favor to friends any more. I was a single mom with mortgage. My daughter was in primary school, life costs became serious while the art-and-culture salary was silently and regularly reduced.</p>\n<blockquote><p>I was freelancing every single minute I could. Sleeping was luxury I could afford on weekends.</p></blockquote>\n<p>My dad was helping me tremendously. He was babysitting during theater’s rehearsals and performances in the evenings. When I’d get home, my daughter was sleeping, tomorrow’s meals cooked, dishes done and shining. I could go on like this but it was uncertain for how long.</p>\n<p>In the summer of 2013 I was recovering from what was supposed to be routine gallbladder surgery and what nearly cost me life. Almost fully operational, I was getting ready for next roller coaster known as a mix of school year, freelancing and theater’s season. Then my father died. Suddenly. In an accident.</p>\n<p>Oh, this screaming silence..</p>\n<p>I couldn’t think. Or breathe. For months. I needed someone to put the roller coaster on pause. Just.. Just a short one. To take a breathe. But there was no one. I was all alone with a 9 years old child who had to grow up fast. I had to grow up fast.</p>\n<blockquote><p>All of a sudden I realized that I can not afford a single mistake any more. I can not be ill, get in debts, lose job. Or mind. I was the only one I could count on.</p></blockquote>\n<p>In 2014 my theater salary got reduced once again. And again in following year. 30% in total. For ten years it never covered all of my monthly expenses but this was ridiculous. It was a time for me to stop playing it safe and see what I’m made of. That was probably the most difficult decision I have ever made. A heart breaking one. Stop being musician. So I quit being Opera Prompter and started working as a full time WordPress developer.</p>\n<h3>Well, hello, World!</h3>\n<p>I didn’t really know for which wage level my knowledge was. For years I was the only WordPress developer I knew in person. The rest were all online superstars I was learning from. So I started as a shy medior and the only WordPress developer in agency. It turns out that, for this agency needs, I was senior and soon enough I was organizing and leading development processes for new projects.</p>\n<p>From the business point of view repeating similar projects makes you “niche expert”. I do understand that. But, as many other developers out there, I don’t like repeating the same tasks or projects. Not even once. I missed variety which led me to become more active contributor on wordpress.org.</p>\n<blockquote><p>For years I was just contributing to codex here and there and never really thought about all the people behind WordPress.</p></blockquote>\n<p>In my vague image, they were a bunch of really great developers and they were doing just fine. I was learning from them so I could not possibly help them. I would just be on their way.</p>\n<p>However, in my attempt to find something interesting to keep my mind amused with, I came upon <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/chat/\">Slack url</a> for communication between contributors on WordPress project. What a crowd! And not just developers – everyone! Doing all kinds of different bits, and all important. How odd. WordPress is not like any other open source community I saw before. So much more open and inviting! I remember reading through channels and thinking: “I could do this”, “Oh, I’d love to learn that”, “This person is funny”.. I’m gonna stick.</p>\n<h3>Antisocial extrovert in a more open open source community</h3>\n<p>No matter how I tried, and I did try, I’m just not a people person. Among other antisocial treats, over the years I have developed a heavy dark humor which, more often than not, due to lack of social interactions I reveal in a completely wrong way. But these people seem not to mind so I thought to give it a try with them. Don’t get me wrong, <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/handbook/wordcamp-organizer/planning-details/code-of-conduct/\">Code of Conduct</a> is extremely important in WordPress community. No community wants bullies. But rare communities accept social weirdos and misfits. And this one doesn’t just accept them, it makes them feel like fits. That was a nice change.</p>\n<p>I started attending local <a href=\"https://www.meetup.com/WP-Meetup-NS/\">Meetups</a>, even gave <a href=\"https://www.meetup.com/WP-Meetup-NS/events/235186967/\">a talk</a> on contributing to <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/get-involved/become-a-reviewer/\">Theme Review team</a> after which I was invited to join <a href=\"https://www.toptal.com/\">Toptal platform</a> as a freelance developer. My social adventure got me volunteering on <a href=\"https://2017.belgrade.wordcamp.org/\">WordCamp Belgrade</a> and <a href=\"https://2017.europe.wordcamp.org/\">WordCamp Europe in Paris</a>. I must admit there were “too many people at the same time” moments but there were lots of ways to stay involved with controlled dose of human interactions. I chose volunteering at Experts bar and it worked out just great. I really loved all the hugs though.</p>\n<p>Today I try to keep my focus on just a few channels in make WordPress slack and my contribution wish list regularly updated. One can have only so many hours in a day. Most often you’ll find me in <a href=\"https://wordpress.slack.com/?redir=%2Fmessages%2Fdocs\">#docs</a> and <a href=\"https://wordpress.slack.com/?redir=%2Fmessages%2Fcore-docs\">#core-docs</a> channels, doing various stuff with <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/docs/handbook/about-the-docs-team/get-involved/\">Documentation</a> team.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/milana-cap_wcbgd.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-2036 size-large\" src=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/milana-cap_wcbgd-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Milana, on a rooftop baclony with some other people looking at her phone\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" /></a></p>\n<h3>The Questions</h3>\n<p>Among all the questions I get about my professional path, the most commons are “<strong>How come you made such a huge change from music to web development?</strong>“, “<strong>Did you go to school to become a developer</strong>?” and “<strong>Do you miss being musician?</strong>“. Answer to the first question is quite easy:</p>\n<p>“Being musician and writing code are pretty much the same. They both require the same parts of your mental struggle and make you go through the same emotional tortures and enlightenments.”</p>\n<p>The second question, however, is a bit more difficult to answer. In the light of the first answer, I could say that I was exposed to the required way of thinking. Practicing an instrument 6 hours per day for over a decade does teach you a couple of things about commitment. World of classical music is a world of magnificent talents and varieties which touches you all the way to the humble self where you find appreciation for being able to feel this way. Personally, I believe this is extremely important for developer – to be humble and grateful to person who helped them find this humbleness.</p>\n<p>No, I don’t have a formal developer’s education. It doesn’t seem to prevent me from being developer. And no, I don’t miss being musician. Because I never stopped being one.

The login flow has been completely redesigned to provide a more unified experience for connecting both self-hosted and WordPress.com-hosted sites. These flows were completely separate in the past and users were often confused about which one to select. The new design provides fewer opportunities for friction when logging in, an experience that likely determines many users’ first impressions of the app.</p>\n<a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/self-hosted-login-wp-mobile-apps.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a>Self-hosted login on mobile apps\n<p>“As we reimagined the login experience, there were a few key principles guiding us: keep it simple, minimize the distinction between a site hosted at WordPress.com versus somewhere else, and avoid anything that might be too clever,” Automattic mobile lead Eric Johnson said.</p>\n<p>Users can now connect new sites by entering the URL and the mobile apps will automatically detect if the site is hosted on WordPress.com or not. The new login flow ferries users on to the next step based on what kind of site is being connected. This is available in version 8.0 of WordPress for Android and version 8.2 of WordPress for iOS.</p>\n<p>The new login experience emphasizes the ease of using magic links for logging into WordPress.com. If the user enters and email address, the app will generate an authentication link and send it via email. This allows users to login without having to remember or enter a password.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/new-login-experience-wp-mobile-apps.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>If a user is entering the world of WordPress for the first time through the mobile apps, the new login experience also offers a short tour of the some of the features included in the app. These include WordPress.com features such as notifications, Stats, and the Reader. The apps, despite being marketed as the official WordPress mobile apps, are a product of Automattic and include a commercial upgrade path for WordPress.com services.</p>\n<p>The idea of the apps functioning as a gateway to help the greater WordPress ecosystem gain more users (and eventually see some graduate to self-hosted sites), no longer seems credible now that WordPress.com has <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wordpress-coms-business-plan-gives-subscribers-a-way-to-tap-into-wordpress-orgs-third-party-ecosystem\" target=\"_blank\">entered the hosting space by allowing its customers to tap into third-party plugins and themes</a>.</p>\n<p>The updated login experience, while more convenient for users, continues to blur the line between self-hosted and WordPress.com-hosted sites. WordPress for Android and iOS used to have their own separate blogs but all of the news is now funneled through WordPress.com’s news blog and the @WordPressiOS and @WPAndroid Twitter accounts seemed to have been abandoned in favor of marketing updates through WordPress.com.</p>\n<p>In the past, many in the WordPress community have asked why the apps are not called the WordPress.com mobile apps, since they include features that are not central to the core publishing experience for self-hosted users. Last year when I <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wordpress-for-android-5-7-adds-path-to-upgrade-wordpress-com-plan\" target=\"_blank\">interviewed</a> Maxime Biais, one of Automattic’s mobile engineers, he said the team had considered splitting the product into two apps.</p>\n<p>“We considered having both WordPress and WordPress.com apps, but we rejected this because it doesn’t make it more clear,” Bias said. “It’s probably even more ambiguous when someone searches the Play Store for ‘WordPress’ or ‘Blog’ and finds both WordPress and WordPress.com apps.”</p>\n<p>Now that that mobile apps have become a direct pipeline for new WordPress.com hosting customers, it may be time to re-visit the consideration of splitting the apps into two distinct products: one for WordPress.com’s commercial interests and one that officially represents the open source WordPress project for self-hosted users without any corporate interests. If the project’s official mobile apps are a key part of new users’ onboarding experience, they should accurately represent the software as an independent platform that can be hosted with and extended by any number of free and commercial products in the WordPress ecosystem.</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, 16 Aug 2017 06:33:48 +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:13;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:59:\"WPTavern: WordCamp US to Experiment With A Community Bazaar\";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=74138\";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:70:\"https://wptavern.com/wordcamp-us-to-experiment-with-a-community-bazaar\";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:2237:\"<p>In addition to taking place in a new location this year, <a href=\"https://2017.us.wordcamp.org/\">WordCamp US</a> will have a <a href=\"https://2017.us.wordcamp.org/attendee-information/community-bazaar/\">Community Bazaar</a>. An area will be set aside in the venue allowing those chosen to showcase their WordPress communities. Raquel Landefeld, Randy Hicks, and Dustin Meza are organizing the Bazaar.</p>\n<p>Landefeld says the idea was inspired by the people who make up the WordPress Community. “We recognize that some local WordPress communities are thriving and some are just getting started,” she said.</p>\n<p>“What better way to help build community then by showcasing our local communities to the world. The thought is that smaller, newer, and communities just in their infancy, will be inspired with fresh ideas and or how-tos from the bigger and more established WordPress communities.”</p>\n<p>The idea is similar to that of a science fair where each community chosen will have a space to highlight why theirs is awesome.</p>\n<p>The purpose of the event is to inspire growth while providing an opportunity for communities to learn from each other. There will also be metrics shared such as, number of meetup and WordCamp attendees, meetups per month, and unique qualities pertaining to the local groups.</p>\n<p>The organizing team is looking for the inside scoop on local communities. “This is all about you and your local WordPress community,” Landefeld said.</p>\n<p>“This is your time to shine. Why is your community different, special, or amazing? Be showy! Forget modesty. Let your community’s awesomeness be a tool to inspire other WP communities just getting started or striving.”</p>\n<p>Last year saw record growth for WordPress community events.

Two years after Human Made began searching for a buyer, maekit purchased WP Remote to integrate it with the company’s existing platform that caters to designers managing multiple clients.</p>\n<p>“WP Remote had remained a much-loved product with its users and despite receiving no ongoing development it had remained an iconic plugin in the WordPress community,” Human Made CEO Tom Willmot said.</p>\n<p>maekit took over WP Remote operations in March after closing the deal. According to maekit CEO Matt Holme, the company inherited 20,000 users with 120,000 WordPress websites. His team has maintained WP Remote in its original platform for the past few months before integrating it into maekit last week.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://wpremote.com/\" target=\"_blank\">WP Remote</a> has offered unlimited, free WordPress site management (updating core, plugins, and themes with a single click) since 2010. It hasn’t received ongoing development for several years, but maekit plans to add backup features that will make bring it more up to speed with competitors like MangeWP, MainWP, and InfiniteWP.</p>\n<p>“We definitely plan to keep WP Remote free and expand its features,” Holme said. “Specifically we are looking at offering easy-to-manage cloud-based backup services. For example, hook up your Dropbox (or any other popular cloud based storage system) and schedule regular backups of your WP websites.”</p>\n<p>maekit’s acquisition of WP Remote gives the company’s customers the ability to deploy WordPress sites with one click and manage client sites and domains through a unified, white-labeled invoicing and payment system. The company has rolled out a few long-overdue bug fixes to WP Remote and Holme says the rest of maekit is functional but still technically in a closed beta mode.</p>\n<p>“Our revenue model revolves around direct sale hosting plans and also reselling integrated hosting plans for other leading global hosting providers,” Holme said. “We are refining the free invoicing and payment processing system built into maekit so that a maekit / WP Remote user can deploy a new hosted WP and charge their client a recurring monthly fee and retain the mark up they add on top of our base hosting prices as profit. This means literally no out of pocket expense for maekit / WP Remote users.”</p>\n<p>Although maekit’s one-click deployment service supports many popular CMS’s and e-commmerce platforms, including WordPress, Opencart, Drupal, Magento, and Joomla, Holme said the vast majority of the company’s customers are running on WordPress. Acquiring WP Remote brings a host of valuable new features to maekit’s customer base. maekit’s built-in client billing features, customized for freelancers and agencies, are what Holme says will differentiate the company from its competitors in the WordPress space.</p>\n<p>“I have a great deal of respect for these other WP management platforms and feel the size of the WP market means there is opportunity for all to succeed,” Holme said. “With the features of maekit also including new website deployment, invoicing, payment processing and client management, our platform is unique from the others.”</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, 15 Aug 2017 03:50:43 +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:15;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:104:\"WPTavern: Gutenberg 0.8.0 Introduces 5 New Blocks: Categories, Text Columns, Shortcode, Audio, and Video\";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=74090\";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/gutenberg-0-8-0-introduces-5-new-blocks-categories-text-columns-shortcode-audio-and-video\";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:5712:\"<p>Gutenberg <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/08/11/whats-new-in-gutenberg-11th-august/\" target=\"_blank\">0.8.0</a> was released over the weekend with five new blocks, major improvements to existing blocks, and support for more publishing features that have been missing from the new editor’s sidebar. The release also carries out the controversial decision to <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/user-tracking-to-be-removed-from-gutenberg-in-upcoming-0-8-0-release\" target=\"_blank\">remove the opt-in usage tracking code from the plugin</a>.</p>\n<p>The new <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/2102\" target=\"_blank\">Categories block</a> can be found under the Widgets section, as it’s output is based on the existing categories widget. The default display is an alphabetized list of categories, but the block settings include options to display as a dropdown, show post counts, and show hierarchy.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/categories-block.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>A new Text Columns block allows users to split text content into multiple columns. The settings include a sliding scale for selecting 2-4 columns.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/text-columns-block-e1502741151590.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>Contributors are calling the Text Block “an initial exploration” of multiple columns for text-only content. Depending on testing, it may not be the implementation that ends up landing in the plugin permanently.</p>\n<p>“We’ve been over how difficult it is to get columns right, and also how already today third parties can build this,” Joen Asmussen <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/2117#issuecomment-319347010\" target=\"_blank\">said</a>. “We may very well want an entirely different implementation than this one. But perhaps it’s good to get this in now and test it. Perhaps this can help inform how a better column implementation can work down the road. In fact we might want to merge this block in now, only to take it back out later again, same as the Cover Text block. For that reason, I think it’d be good to test this.”</p>\n<p>The new Video and Audio blocks are geared towards inserting files that have already been uploaded to the media library. However, I found the text on the video block to be confusing. If I was new to WordPress and didn’t understand how oEmbed works, I would be clicking inside the video block to figure out where to paste the URL.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/video-block.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>The new Audio and Video blocks mirror the same kind of functionality that users have experienced when adding images to their sites. In the future, contributors may introduce more features to the audio block, such as additional playback types and looping, but the first iteration includes just the basics.</p>\n<p>Gutenberg 0.8.0 adds resizing handlers to the existing Image Block, making it easy for users to insert and quickly resize an image. If you review the <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/2213\" target=\"_blank\">GitHub ticket</a> for this feature, it’s clear that it was not easy to implement. Image resizing has gone through several changes and may have more down the road, especially as it pertains to the behavior of the caption. Ultimately, the caption field should not be wider than the image so that the two are placed together.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/image-resizing-gutenberg.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>This release introduces a post formats selector to the post settings sidebar. It includes a suggestion based on what blocks are in use in the post. One participant on the ticket noted that the suggestion gives too much importance to the post formats selection and might be confusing to users. The suggestion persists, despite a user switching the format to the one suggested. This is because Gutenberg cannot detect if it was explicitly set by the user or if the user selected the suggestion.</p>\n<p>“I happen to agree with you: post formats should go away,” Joen Asmussen <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/2307#issuecomment-321232074\" target=\"_blank\">said</a>. “In fact part of the genesis of blocks as a concept is to provide a better interface than what post formats did.

Through ensuring good defaults, wrapping and bundling advanced layout options blocks, and making the most important actions immediately available, authoring content with WordPress should be accessible to anyone.</p></blockquote>\n<p>The idea is to simplify content creation for users so that they only have to learn one interface – the block interface. The design document adds several new sections that elaborate on the concept of “everything is a block” and includes best practices that developers can reference when designing their own blocks.</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, 14 Aug 2017 22:18:21 +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:16;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:115:\"WPTavern: Early Results from NRKbeta’s Comment Quiz Plugin Show Readers Enjoy the Quiz but Rarely Leave a Comment\";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=74105\";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:123:\"https://wptavern.com/early-results-from-nrkbetas-comment-quiz-plugin-show-readers-enjoy-the-quiz-but-rarely-leave-a-comment\";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:3492:\"<p>Earlier this year, <a href=\"https://nrkbeta.no/\" target=\"_blank\">NRKbeta</a>, the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation’s media and technology site, <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/nrkbeta-open-sources-comment-quiz-plugin-for-wordpress\" target=\"_blank\">open sourced its comment quiz plugin for WordPress</a>. The site’s publishers have been experimenting with requiring their readers to complete a short, three-question quiz before giving access to the comment form on certain articles. The goal of the plugin was to prevent rants and off-topic responses by ensuring that commenters have read the article.</p>\n<p>NRKbeta has <a href=\"https://nrkbeta.no/2017/08/10/with-a-quiz-to-comment-readers-test-their-article-comprehension/\" target=\"_blank\">published some preliminary results</a> after six months of experimenting with a mandatory quiz before commenting.</p>\n<p>“On average, there are a lot more attempts – both correct and wrong – than actual comments,” NRKbeta journalist Ståle Grut said. “It seems many take the quiz to check how much they remember from the story – and not necessarily to leave a comment. Almost as a fun little game after reading.”</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/nkrbeta-comments.jpg?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>Grut reported that on average the quiz has an error rate of 72%. His team suspects that the bulk of the wrong answers are coming site’s international readership, as most of the articles are posted in Norwegian, which can be difficult to translate.</p>\n<p>The sample is still relatively small, because the team hasn’t yet created any set rules for when authors should enable the quiz.</p>\n<p>“The idea was to test it on stories that had potential for a gloomy comments section,” Grut said. “It is something we are proud to rarely have here at NRKbeta.”</p>\n<p>On one story, NRKbeta staff made an error where it was impossible to submit the correct answer to the quiz, because it wasn’t listed. As a result, this article’s quiz received more than 1,000 wrong answers.</p>\n<p>One unexpected benefit of the plugin is that it makes it more of a hurdle for readers to leave short comments, such as “nice post” that don’t add much to the conversation.</p>\n<p>“This favors the most eager with the most time on their hands,” Grut said. “From time to time this has led to a decline in quality and tone, causing him to often abandon the quiz module.”</p>\n<p>These initial conclusions are in line with what we predicted when the plugin was released: the most motivated ranters are not significantly inconvenienced by a short quiz. Keeping comment sections free of trolls is not yet something that is easy to automate. It still requires time spent in the moderation queue.</p>\n<p>After the comment quiz plugin was enabled on the site, NRKbeta counted more than 300 articles around the web that had been published about the experiment. Quizzing commenters was hailed as one of the best new ideas for warding off trolls. However, the NRKbeta team cannot yet conclude whether the plugin is a success or not.</p>\n<p>“The numbers seem to show that the quiz has worked like a little game for many readers,” Grut said. “They like to take the quiz, but not to leave a comment. Being tested on how much they remember from the article seems to be the most popular use of our quiz.”</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:\"Sat, 12 Aug 2017 02:54:02 +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:17;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:44:\"WPTavern: In Case You Missed It – Issue 23\";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=74121&preview=true&preview_id=74121\";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:51:\"https://wptavern.com/in-case-you-missed-it-issue-23\";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:6478:\"<a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ICYMIFeaturedImage.png?ssl=1\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-50955\"><img /></a>photo credit: <a href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/112901923@N07/16153818039\">Night Moves</a> – <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.0/\">(license)</a>\n<p>There’s a lot of great WordPress content published in the community but not all of it is featured on the Tavern. This post is an assortment of items related to WordPress that caught my eye but didn’t make it into a full post.</p>\n<h2>Using WordPress to Publish Law Reviews</h2>\n<p>Kevin O’Keefe of Above the Law, <a href=\"http://abovethelaw.com/2017/08/kim-jong-un-has-much-to-teach-pentagon-about-speed-gen-hyten/\">explains why</a> WordPress should be used to publish law reviews instead of printing them.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Ten years ago it would not have been as easy to set up, or license, a WordPress publishing platform by each law school. Most law professors were, and still are, publishing blogs on <a href=\"http://www.typepad.com/\">TypePad</a>, an outdated and little used publishing software, originally produced by Six Apart.</p>\n<p>Today, WordPress is running almost 70 percent of the content management systems in the world. WordPress is regularly updated and enables a multi-user platform with multiple individual sites, all of which would be needed by a law school’s ‘printing press’.</p></blockquote>\n<h2>Glutenberg Free</h2>\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/glutenburg-free/\">Gluternberg Free</a> is a WordPress plugin developed by Adam Silverstein that restores and maintains the post editing experience from WordPress 4.8.</p>\n<h2>Open Source Candy Bar Labels for WordCamps</h2>\n<p>If you’re organizing a WordCamp and want to give out Happiness bars, check out this <a href=\"https://github.com/dimensionmedia/WordCamp-Happiness-Bars\">custom label design</a> used at WordCamp Miami 2016.

Blog posts are easier to archive and link to, are not lost in the noise as quickly, and are a better user experience for consuming content.</p>\n<p>By the way, if you’ve already threaded a message on Twitter, Rush shares links to tools that can help capture a thread and turn it into a blog post.</p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\"><p><a href=\"https://www.customerservant.com/next-time-youre-thinking-threading-twitter-write-blog-post-instead/\">The Next Time You’re Thinking About Threading On Twitter, Write A Blog Post Instead</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<h2>The Story of HelloSales</h2>\n<p>iThemes published a <a href=\"https://ithemes.com/2017/08/10/story-of-our-newest-ithemes-product-hellosales/\">detailed article</a> on how their newest product, <a href=\"https://ithemes.com/hellosales\">HelloSales</a>, came to be. Cory Miller explains the product’s logo, name, and who the people are that are building it.</p>\n<blockquote><p>The rooster is essentially the symbol or emblem of Portugal. You’ll see it everywhere there when you go there (and I strongly encourage you to do so, even if I want to keep the place all to myself).</p>\n<p>It became obvious we wanted to include a rooster in the logo of HelloSales as a hat tip to Portugal and our team there. We also think it’s a great symbol for what we hope to help our customers do — make more money through their WooCommerce stores.</p>\n<p>Through several iterations of a name, we landed on HelloSales as a name, as yet another hat tip to the story — their company’s name, HelloDev — that led us here.</p></blockquote>\n<p>It’s a cool story and one I’d like to see more CEO and founders share when they acquire a product or business.</p>\n<h2>WordPress Telemetry Part Two</h2>\n<p>Morten Rand-Hendriksen <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/case-telemetry-wordpress-morten-rand-hendriksen\">updated his article</a> on the case for WordPress telemetry after a <a href=\"https://twitter.com/mor10/status/895299336375902209\">lengthy conversation</a> on Twitter.</p>\n<blockquote><p>What WordPress needs is an open debate on this topic. What are the arguments for and against? What can be gained and what is lost? Should we do this? And if so, how do we do it in an open, transparent, and responsible way that helps inform and elevate the conversation while looking after the interests of <em>all</em> WordPress users?</p></blockquote>\n<p>These are interesting questions and although the <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/38418\">ticket</a><a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/38418\"> is closed</a> on Trac, users are encouraged to continue the discussion. In the future, I’d like to see data and other research published that explains <strong>why</strong> a major User Interface changing feature is necessary in core before so much energy is devoted to it.</p>\n<h2>Cowboy Wapuu!</h2>\n<p>In what is a traditional part of this series, I end each issue by featuring a Wapuu design. For those who don’t know, Wapuu is the <a href=\"http://wapuu.jp/2015/12/12/wapuu-origins/\">unofficial mascot</a> of the WordPress project.

The development cycle kicked off in early August with Beta 1 scheduled for early October and the official release targeted for November 14.</p>\n<p>Choyce published a <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/08/11/wordpress-4-9-goals/\" target=\"_blank\">list of goals</a> today that outlines what they will be aiming for in 4.9. WordPress users can expect to see some existing features polished up to be more user-friendly, including some long-awaited updates to the experience of editing theme and plugin files in the admin.</p>\n<p>Contributors are looking at <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6531\" target=\"_blank\">adding a nested folder structure</a> that will offer access to files deeper than two levels. They are also aiming to <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/31779\" target=\"_blank\">add better warnings</a> for users who are editing themes and plugins, an improvement which Choyce described as “graduating from cowboy coding school.” This could help prevent users from unknowingly making small errors that could have a negative impact on their sites.</p>\n<p>Another goal for 4.9 is to improve the code editing experience by adding syntax highlighting. Contributors are examining the possibility of incorporating CodeMirror functionality into the Customizer’s custom CSS box as well as the plugin and theme file editors. An experimental <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/codemirror-wp\" target=\"_blank\">Syntax Highlighting Code Editor for WordPress Core</a> plugin is currently being developed on GitHub as a potential solution for a seven-year-old trac <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/12423\" target=\"_blank\">ticket</a> for code editor improvements.</p>\n<p>Customizer improvements are also one of the main focuses for 4.9. Contributors to the Customize Snapshots feature plugin have been <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/customize-snapshots-0-6-0-adds-the-ability-to-name-and-merge-changesets\" target=\"_blank\">steadily refining</a> the ability to <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/39896\" target=\"_blank\">draft</a> and <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/28721\" target=\"_blank\">schedule</a> changesets in the Customizer. They are also looking at providing a better experience for <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/39693\" target=\"_blank\">widget</a> and <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/39692\" target=\"_blank\">menu mapping</a> when switching between themes, improving homepage settings (“<a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16379\" target=\"_blank\">Page on Front</a>“), and displaying responsive images in the Customizer sidebar.</p>\n<p>This list of goals for 4.9 includes many more items and the release leads are approaching it with the understanding that some features and improvements may not be ready in time. One item on the list is getting in <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22Core+REST+API+Task%22\" target=\"_blank\">API endpoints that Gutenberg requires</a>.</p>\n<p>Looking ahead to WordPress 5.0, new Gutenberg design lead Tammie Lister has <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/08/11/revised-suggested-roadmap-for-gutenberg-and-customization/\" target=\"_blank\">proposed a revised, tentative roadmap</a> that anticipates having the new editor ready for a merge proposal in December 2017.

Automattic<a href=\"https://en.blog.wordpress.com/2017/08/07/wordpress-com-business-now-supports-plugins-and-third-party-themes/\"> concluded the experiment</a> earlier this week and officially made the features part of the subscription plan.</p>\n<p>“With support for plugins and third-party themes, WordPress.com Business users will be able to connect their sites to great email and social media tools, e-commerce solutions, publishing and subscription services, and more,” Mark Armstrong said.</p>\n<p>This change is twelve years in the making. With the exception of WordPress VIP, customers have not had the ability to install third-party themes and plugins on WordPress.com.</p>\n<h2>Customers Can Only Install Custom Plugins Through The WP-Admin Interface</h2>\n<p>Customers can install plugins or themes from the WordPress.org directories or they can upload custom themes and plugins. WordPress.com has two user interfaces, one that resembles Calypso and the other is WP-Admin.</p>\n<p>Here is what adding plugins looks like using the Calypso interface. Plugins are displayed from the WordPress.org plugin directory with no way to upload a custom plugin.</p>\n<img />Adding Plugins on WordPress.com Through The Calypso Interface\n<p>This is what adding plugins looks like using the WP-Admin interface. This interface has a button that allows customers to upload a custom plugin. Automattic is aware of the discrepancy and says they’re working on streamlining both interfaces.</p>\n<img />Adding Plugins Through WP-Admin on WordPress.com\n<h2>Customers Can Upload Non 100% GPL Licensed Code to WordPress.com</h2>\n<p>The ability to upload a custom theme or plugin truly opens the door for subscribers to customize their sites. But it also allows customers to use themes and plugins that are not 100% GPL licensed. Matt Mullenweg, CEO of Automattic, has <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2009/07/themes-are-gpl-too/\">made it clear</a> in the past that he will only support plugins and themes that are 100% GPL.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Even though graphics and CSS aren’t <em>required</em> to be GPL legally, the lack thereof is pretty limiting. Can you imagine WordPress without any CSS or JavaScript? So as before, we will only promote and host things on WordPress.org that are 100% GPL <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/License_compatibility\">or compatible</a>.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Mullenweg has used his <a href=\"http://designcrumbs.com/automatically-blackballed\">influence in the past</a> to provoke marketplaces such as Envato to provide a 100% GPL license option to its authors. Authors who choose not to sell their items with the 100% GPL license are excluded from being able to sponsor or speak at WordCamps.</p>\n<p>Although the above quote references WordPress.org, WordPress.com is a platform that Mullenweg controls. It’s odd that the ability to upload a theme or plugin that is not 100% GPL exists on WordPress.com. I believe the feature is an oversight and will be removed in the immediate future ensuring that only themes and plugins from the official directories are allowed to be used.</p>\n<h2>Managed WordPress Hosts Have Reasons to Be Concerned</h2>\n<p>Responses to the news from members of the WordPress community are mixed. Phil Crumm, Director of Strategic Opportunities at 10up, <a href=\"https://medium.com/@philcrumm/the-curious-conundrum-of-the-new-wordpress-com-business-plan-b0044ad57acd\">published a great article</a> that examines the potential impacts this move will have on the managed WordPress hosting ecosystem and its community:</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p id=\"8b34\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--h3\">Within the WordPress community, there’s long been a notion that ‘more users on WordPress’ is universally good. Until now, that’s been difficult to argue: an expansive ecosystem has developed over the last decade, and many now make their living off of WordPress.</p>\n<p id=\"2813\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p graf--trailing\">Despite that, WordPress.com’s Business Plan now feels like it’s oriented towards cannibalizing users from elsewhere within that ecosystem — from sites that may have ‘grown up’ and moved to another hosting provider to those that now may not know that the broader ecosystem even exists — which is objectively a step backwards for the WordPress community.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https://perezbox.com/\">Tony Perez</a>, co-founder and CEO of Sucuri, says the <a href=\"https://perezbox.com/2017/08/automattics-push-managed-wordpress-potential-impacts-hosting-ecosystem/\">implications are gravest</a> to managed WordPress hosts. “The biggest impacts however are likely to be towards those hosting companies that have invested resources (both people and dollars) into creating a vibrant Managed WordPress hosting business ecosystem,” Perez said.</p>\n<p>“Long are the days when the market was defined by Page.ly and WPEngine. Today I would consider the space to be saturated, with more flavors of Managed WordPress than ice cream at a Baskin-Robbins.”</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://chrislema.com/\">Chris Lema</a>, a member of Liquid Web’s Leadership team, <a href=\"https://perezbox.com/2017/08/automattics-push-managed-wordpress-potential-impacts-hosting-ecosystem/#comment-3456606874\">responded to the article</a> saying it’s rare for manufactures to enter the same market as their distributors or partners.</p>\n<p>“While not impossible, we rarely see manufacturers get into the same business as their distributors or retail partners,” Lema said.</p>\n<p>“That’s because it can create a lot of unwanted, unplanned for, unintended secondary consequences. But to inexpensive hosts, this is one of those head-turners, because they were assured, for oh so long, that this wasn’t the game Automattic was getting into.</p>\n<p>“But Automattic is not just a nice community player. They’re a business. With investors. And they have to think about their own bottom line. So while it’s not surprising, I think you’re right that hosts have the most to be thinking about.”</p>\n<p>Others like Scott Bolinger, have expressed cautious optimism regarding the change.</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">3rd party plugins and themes can now be used on <a href=\"https://t.co/eNa4NCrrPO\">https://t.co/eNa4NCrrPO</a>.

Josh Pollock, founder of <a href=\"https://calderaforms.com/\">CalderaWP,</a> is excited to see WordPress.com become a quality hosting option for his users.</p>\n<p>“As a plugin author, I like not just more places for my plug-in to be used, but more quality hosting options,” Pollock said. “Dealing with sub-optimal environments is the hardest part of being a plug-in author. I’m excited about more users and having those users be on a quality platform.”</p>\n<h2>How Much Pie Does Automattic Want?</h2>\n<p>WordPress.com offering a subset of customers the ability to access the incredible third-party WordPress plugin and theme ecosystem is a huge development, but it leaves me with a few questions. First, why is WordPress.com only now offering this feature? Why wasn’t it available years ago?</p>\n<p>WordPress.com is now competing head-to-head with managed hosts. As <a href=\"https://ma.tt/2016/12/wp-growth-council/\">initiatives are established</a> to grow the WordPress pie for all, how much of that pie does Automattic want for itself? Considering Automattic is a business backed by investors, does it matter how much they want or get?</p>\n<p>How do you feel about WordPress.com allowing subscribers to tap into the WordPress.org ecosystem?</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, 11 Aug 2017 07:12:49 +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:20;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:78:\"WPTavern: User Tracking to be Removed from Gutenberg in Upcoming 0.8.0 Release\";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=74044\";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:89:\"https://wptavern.com/user-tracking-to-be-removed-from-gutenberg-in-upcoming-0-8-0-release\";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:9564:\"<a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/asystole.jpg?ssl=1\"><img /></a>photo credit: <a href=\"http://www.savingchicagocpr.com/termination-resuscitation-efforts/\">Saving Chicago CPR</a>\n<p>The opt-in user tracking that was <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/gutenberg-0-7-0-adds-opt-in-usage-tracking\" target=\"_blank\">added to Gutenberg 0.7.0</a> will be pulled from the plugin in the upcoming 0.8.0 release. The data collection included in last week’s release reignited the <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/38418\" target=\"_blank\">discussion regarding adding telemetry to WordPress</a>.</p>\n<p>James Nylen and an Automattic engineers involved in Gutenberg added the feature with the goal of improving the editor based on usage patterns. Nylen said the approach they used was very similar to Calypso’s event tracking code and that it would provide “a very useful technique to collect user experience data.” They had planned to use the data to inform various decisions, such as default order for blocks and whether some blocks are less suitable for core. Gutenberg contributors were looking into making the tracking its own module so it could be useful for other WP feature plugins and core.</p>\n<p>Shortly after the feature was added to Gutenberg, contributors began to revisit the Telemetry discussion on WordPress Trac. The topic of telemetry for core had been tabled earlier this year, as it did not fall within the three core focus areas for WordPress development in 2017. Participants requested the ticket be reopened for discussion looking toward 2018 in light of Gutenberg adding opt-in tracking.</p>\n<p>“I think it’s a terrible idea for Gutenberg, too,” Matt Mullenweg commented on the ticket. “I doubt that anything actionable or useful will come of it that couldn’t be obtained by non-data-collecting means.”</p>\n<p>Twelve hours later, James Nylen <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/08/06/opt-in-usage-tracking-in-gutenberg/#comment-32882\" target=\"_blank\">commented</a> on his original announcement to notify the community that tracking will be removed from Gutenberg in the 0.8.0 release:</p>\n<blockquote><p>There’s been quite a lot of discussion on this topic across the community, much of which stems from earlier discussions like <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/38418\" target=\"_blank\">#38418</a>, which I wasn’t aware of.</p>\n<p>Usage tracking in Core and feature projects is a much bigger topic than fits into the scope of Gutenberg right now, so I’ve removed it from the GitHub repo, and it will be removed in the 0.8 Gutenberg release.</p>\n<p>The data that it was tracking, while interesting, probably wouldn’t have been a significant factor in the long-term growth and development of Gutenberg. The discussion surrounding the data collection, however, would take up a disproportionate amount of the team’s time.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Nylen said the data collected by the plugin thus far will be deleted after 0.8 rolls out and that since it’s so early in Gutenberg’s development there was “not enough data collected to provide any sort of picture of usage.”</p>\n<h3>WordPress Telemetry Advocates Continue Lobbying for Opt-In Data Collection</h3>\n<p>The discussion about whether or not WordPress needs telemetry has continued in the form of tweetstorms, as data collection advocates make the case for data-driven decision making.</p>\n<p>“The decision not to capture metrics (telemetry) from WordPress is one that continues to have a large impact on what we (don’t) know,” Liquid Web VP of Product Chris Lema <a href=\"https://twitter.com/chrislema/status/895136427977068544\" target=\"_blank\">said</a>. “As we’re trying to make decisions about Gutenberg and metaboxes, we might ask, how big a problem is this, by number of plugins or sites. But we don’t know because we decided that we can always iterate WordPress, like we’ve always done. It’s true that we’ve done that before, but that doesn’t mean it’s either the wisest approach, nor the least risky. With so many options today, will people necessarily return? The more logical approach, in my mind, is to capture as much data as possible and to make it as public as possible, so we can all review.”</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">If the problem were lack of data, we could easily produce terabytes per day.</p>\n<p>— Matt Mullenweg (@photomatt) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/photomatt/status/895506034533453825\">August 10, 2017</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">seconded with the power of 1000 suns</p>\n<p>— joe guilmette <img src=\"https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/2.3/72x72/1f1f9-1f1ed.png\" alt=\"??\" class=\"wp-smiley\" /> (@travlbum) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/travlbum/status/895539950933782528\">August 10, 2017</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://mor10.com/the-case-for-wordpress-telemetry/\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress Telemetry proposal</a> author Morten Rand-Hendriksen joined in the discussion with another <a href=\"https://twitter.com/mor10/status/895299336375902209\" target=\"_blank\">tweetstorm</a>:</p>\n<blockquote><p>WordPress needs a core method for collecting quantitative user data through telemetry (metrics). One of the biggest challenges WordPress faces is the lack of reliable data about global day-to-day use. Like most Open Source projects, WordPress has relied on community feedback as its primary data source, which is fine for a small project. The problem is WordPress is a Very Big Project with global reach and the majority of its users never interface with the community. </p>\n<p>I like to say we, the people who talk about, provide feedback for, and design/develop WordPress are the 1%. It might be more like 0.1%. Making decisions based on the traditional community feedback model is making decisions without knowing anything about the majority of users. Some will argue this is fine, that WordPress is developed by those who show up. That’s not a workable or responsible model for a project. We, the people who build WordPress, have a duty of care to the people we build it for. And those people are not us. ‘We can just do user testing,’ you say? Sure. Let’s do proper qualitative user testing. That requires staffing, funding, and infrastructure. User testing for a project like WordPress is non-trivial. It requires professional analysis.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Rand-Hendriksen’s tweetstorm continued with a summary of his telemetry proposal which would be opt-in based on a plugin prompted from core. The plugin would anonymize all collected data and allow for targeted data collection based on research needs. He proposes that the data be stored on servers owned by the community, separate from corporate interests, so the data can be shared openly to ensure transparency. The <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/38418\" target=\"_blank\">ticket</a> for this feature request is currently closed.</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This discussion belongs in Trac in an open ticket.

And remember that past usage is not a good predictor of future success, or what the world needs. We need to build iPhones not Blackberries.”</p>\n<p>During the <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/state-of-the-word-2016-mullenweg-pushes-calypso-as-future-of-wordpress-interface-proposes-major-changes-to-release-cycle\" target=\"_blank\">2016 State of the Word</a> address, Mullenweg proposed a new structure for core releases in 2017 where he would be putting on the ‘product lead’ hat and have design and user testing lead the way. As feature requests have popped up outside of the three core focus areas, Mullenweg has had to systematically shut them down or put them on hold for later in order to keep Gutenberg on track.</p>\n<p>However, it’s not surprising that the engineers leading the Gutenberg project, most of whom are employed by Automattic, wouldn’t think twice about adding user tracking. The company has <a href=\"https://data.blog/\" target=\"_blank\">a blog entirely devoted to data</a> where its data scientists write about the data pipelines they have built to help the company create a sustainable business. Historically, Automattic has strongly embraced using data in making decisions, which is why Calypso has event tracking built into it. Mullenweg is taking a different product leadership approach with the open source WordPress project.</p>\n<p>“For people unhappy with our direction, no amount of data will change their minds,” Mullenweg said in response to critics on Twitter. “The results will tell. I’m happy to stand by them the past 14 years, and believe the next 14 will validate our approach.”</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, 11 Aug 2017 02:08:49 +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:21;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:108:\"WPTavern: WooCommerce Forks select2, Releases selectWoo as a Drop-In Replacement with Improved Accessibility\";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=73999\";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:118:\"https://wptavern.com/woocommerce-forks-select2-releases-selectwoo-as-a-drop-in-replacement-with-improved-accessibility\";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:4160:\"<p>The WooCommerce development team has <a href=\"https://woocommerce.wordpress.com/2017/08/08/selectwoo-an-accessible-replacement-for-select2/\" target=\"_blank\">forked select2</a> to create a more accessible, drop-in replacement library called selectWoo. <a href=\"https://select2.github.io/\" target=\"_blank\">select2</a> is a widely used jQuery-based library for making custom drop down menus. Many users are wondering if the project has been abandoned, because the repository hasn’t seen any activity since February and 115 pull requests have piled up.</p>\n<p>In the interest of fixing some long-standing accessibility issues with the library, WooCommerce opted to fork it and has merged in some of the PRs that were submitted to the original project. SelectWoo is backwards-compatible and can be used the same way as select2 by simply replacing the select2.js file. It has been optimized for WordPress plugin development and can optionally be initialized with .selectWoo() in order to run alongside other versions of select2 that may be used by other plugins on the site.</p>\n<p>SelectWoo makes many improvements for those who are using screen readers, but it needs more accessibility testing. <a href=\"https://github.com/woocommerce/selectWoo/releases/tag/woo-1.0.0-beta.1\" target=\"_blank\">Beta 1</a> is availabe on GitHub. The WooCommerce team has even created a <a href=\"https://woocommerce.github.io/selectWoo/accessibility-testing/\" target=\"_blank\">testing page</a> with different example pages so those using screen-reading software can easily test for bugs.</p>\n<p>Forking is usually a last resort scenario for extending popular open source libraries, but the WooCommerce team wanted the flexibility of improving the project on their own timeline. One concerned developer asked the team what will happen in the future if select2 gets back on track and why they didn’t just submit pull requests to the select2 repository.</p>\n<p>“With a fork we can at least get things merged in to meet our own schedule, rather than waiting/relying on others or running custom versions,” WooCommerce lead developer Mike Jolley said. “There are other benefits, too, such as allowing our version to be namespaced to avoid conflicts in WP admin. The fork is public. Our changes can be merged back, when/if the project picks up again.”</p>\n<p>Both WordPress and Drupal core contributors have been working to <a href=\"https://github.com/select2/select2/issues/3744\" target=\"_blank\">address accessibility issues in select2</a> since 2015 when the WP Accessibility Team <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/accessibility/2015/09/07/accessibility-usertest-select2/\" target=\"_blank\">performed extensive testing on the library</a> to see if it was fit for use in core. Some initial planning work happened but work on these issues stalled out as select2’s maintainers became unavailable.</p>\n<p>“I’d do it with PRs if I thought they would get merged in, but I doubt they will,” WooCommerce developer Claudiu Lodromanean <a href=\"https://github.com/select2/select2/issues/3744#issuecomment-320464534\" target=\"_blank\">said</a>. “There’s been no action in this repo in about six months and the fork contains some PRs that have been waiting to get merged here for a very long time.”</p>\n<p>Forking a project can needlessly fragment its contributors by causing them to have to choose one or the other, especially as the projects diverge down the line. Motivated contributors may submit multiple PRs across both projects for improvements but most will simply contribute back to the project they use. Select2’s maintainers have not published any news about why the project has gone dormant.</p>\n<p>“There are <a href=\"https://github.com/select2/select2/pulls\" target=\"_blank\">over 100 PRs in the select2 repo</a> unmerged,” Jolley said in response to commenters asking about the necessity of the fork. “Some of these we actually need, so with the fork we’re free to merge these as needed. The accessibility issues are hurting users today, so we cannot really afford to wait.”</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, 10 Aug 2017 03:54:27 +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:22;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:65:\"WPTavern: WPWeekly Episode 284 – Catching Up with David Peralty\";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=74024&preview=true&preview_id=74024\";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://wptavern.com/wpweekly-episode-284-catching-up-with-david-peralty\";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:2867:\"<p>In this episode, <a href=\"https://jjj.blog/\">John James Jacoby</a> and I are joined by <a href=\"https://peralty.com/\">David Peralty</a>.

Later in the show, Jacoby and I discuss the news of the week, including the idea of opt-in usage data tracking in WordPress.</p>\n<h2>Stories Discussed:</h2>\n<p><a href=\"https://wptavern.com/publishers-are-moving-back-to-wordpress-after-short-experiments-with-medium\">Publishers Are Moving Back to WordPress After Short Experiments with Medium</a><br />\n<a href=\"https://wptavern.com/trademark-trial-and-appeal-board-dismisses-automattics-trademark-dispute-against-chris-pearson\">Trademark Trial and Appeal Board Dismisses Automattic’s Trademark Dispute Against Chris Pearson</a><br />\n<a href=\"https://wptavern.com/gutenberg-0-7-0-adds-opt-in-usage-tracking\">Gutenberg 0.7.0 Adds Opt-In Usage Tracking</a><br />\n<a href=\"https://wptavern.com/gutenberg-development-team-confirms-meta-box-api-will-not-be-formally-deprecated\">Gutenberg Development Team Confirms Meta Box API Will Not be Formally Deprecated</a><br />\n<a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wordpress-core-fields-api-project-sees-renewed-interest\">WordPress Core Fields API Project Sees Renewed Interest</a></p>\n<h2>Picks of the Week:</h2>\n<p>Comment moderation is not the same as censorship, or is it?</p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\"><p><a href=\"https://halfelf.org/2013/censorship-in-moderation/\">Censorship in Moderation</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://github.com/rmccue/not-trac\">Not Trac</a> by Ryan McCue, connects to WordPress.org’s Trac instance via XML-RPC.

The program targets communities in Latin and South America, Africa, Oceania, and Asia.</p>\n<p>“Specifically, we want to shine more light on the potential of open source software in countries where there is less participation in OSS projects,” WordPress Community Team leader Andrea Middleton said. “To help spread the word about the potential that open source has to offer, we’d like to provide financial support for two educational events this year, to be organized in parts of the world with less participation in open source.”</p>\n<p>After the success of the <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wordcamp-incubator-program-to-launch-in-indonesia-zimbabwe-and-columbia\" target=\"_blank\">WordCamp Incubator Program</a>, which brought three new camps to Indonesia, Zimbabwe, and Colombia, there is some evidence that initiatives to bring WordPress to other parts of the world can have valuable returns. <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/harare-zimbabwe-to-host-its-2nd-wordcamp-november-4-2017\" target=\"_blank\">Harare is hosting its second WordCamp</a> in November and the local meetup group has nearly doubled over the past year. The other camps had similarly successful events and growth in meetup numbers.</p>\n<p>WordCamp Harare organizer Thabo Tswana said that one of the biggest impacts that the first WordCamp had was to introduce local attendees to the WordPress community. WordPress software is well-known across the world but many do not know that there is a strong community behind the project that they can connect with.</p>\n<p>The WordPress Foundation is looking for organizers to host “Introduction to Open Source” events that will be structured as two-hour workshops using <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/training/handbook/user-lessons/what-is-open-source/\" target=\"_blank\">training</a> <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/training/handbook/user-lessons/what-can-you-do-with-wordpress/\" target=\"_blank\">materials</a> available in the WordPress handbook. The goal is to introduce attendees to the world of open source software, the GPL license, and how it is important for WordPress as an open source project.</p>\n<p>The Foundation is subsidizing the events (up to $500) so they will be free for anyone to attend. A <a href=\"http://wordcampcentral.polldaddy.com/s/open-source-training-organizer-application\" target=\"_blank\">10-question application</a> is open for those who want to organize an event in 2017. The call for organizers says that preference will be given to organizers who are already members of a group that is part of WordPress’ meetup chapter program and areas where no WordCamp has previously been organized. Applications close August 21 and successful applicants will be notified by September 8.</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, 09 Aug 2017 19:19:48 +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:24;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:44:\"Post Status: Publish Conference, in pictures\";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:31:\"https://poststatus.com/?p=38424\";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:51:\"https://poststatus.com/publish-conference-pictures/\";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:34326:\"<p>Pictures from <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/publish\">Post Status Publish</a> were almost all taken by <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/people/brian-richards/\">Brian Richards</a>, unless they are pictures of Brian Richards.

Quote: Thanks to the WordPress meetup, I found focus, fun, friends, and what passes for fame.\" /><p>I did not spend my childhood wanting to grow up to be a WordPress consultant. Given that I was born in 1967, long before the World Wide Web even existed, I would have had to be clairvoyant to aspire to any kind of web development. I was intrigued by computers when I first encountered the TRS-80 at the age of 12, but other than learning a few lines of BASIC, I didn’t pursue programming.</p>\n<p>Parenthetically, I don’t think it was because girls weren’t encouraged to become programmers. This was even before the days of the Control Data Institute commercials on TV. Programming as a career for anyone at all was not in the minds of the general public, at least not in Ohio. And although I thought computers were cool (being a science fiction fan and all), I didn’t have any clear sense of what you could do with them. I never made the mental connection between writing a 10-line program in BASIC and eventually creating something like a video game or a word-processing program.</p>\n<p>During my freshman year in college, I fell into the Classics Vortex, and ended up going to graduate school to study Greek and Latin drama. I expected to get my degree and a university teaching job.</p>\n<blockquote><p>I spoke at a few conferences and published a few papers. And I discovered the World Wide Web.</p></blockquote>\n<p>I’d gotten online in 1985, also in my freshman year at Brown. We were on BITNET and someone in the computer center showed me how to get onto Relay when I was down their using the mainframe to write essays with. (Fly, sledgehammer, boom.) The Internet came into being about the time I got to graduate school in 1989, and someone showed me the Web in 1994. It blew me away, because a visual medium of communication is vastly superior to a text-based medium when you’re talking about theatrical productions.</p>\n<p>By the end of 1994 I’d moved to England and created my first web page. (We didn’t have websites in those days, just ‘pages.’ Even if there were lots of pages. And wow, I just wrote that in inverted commas rather than quotation marks, as if my brain shifted itself back to Britain just thinking about it.)</p>\n<a href=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/DIDASKALIA-1998-min.png\"><img class=\"size-large wp-image-2017\" src=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/DIDASKALIA-1998-min-1024x506.png\" alt=\"Sallie’s first website, Didaskalia, as it was in 1998\" width=\"960\" height=\"474\" /></a>Sallie’s first website, Didaskalia, as it was in 1998\n<p>So you’d think that maybe, from there, I would have gotten into a career in web development whether or not WordPress had ever existed, but that wasn’t what actually happened.</p>\n<h3>When Your Body Isn’t Your Friend</h3>\n<p>While I was still in graduate school, I developed a debilitating chronic illness that prevented me from finishing my PhD due to a combination of physical and cognitive problems, and although I started to get better at first, by the end of 1998, when I had to return to the US, my condition had worsened to the point where I wasn’t sure I’d ever be able to work. I spent about 18 months just going to doctors and therapists and support groups. When I did start working, it was as a caregiver, doing extremely simple tasks, because my confidence in my ability to do knowledge work of any kind was so badly damaged.</p>\n<p>I eventually started doing more kinds of things to earn money: clerical work, basic tech support, writing. Somewhere in there, I helped a couple of people with their websites, even though I’d missed a whole lot of the evolution of the Web. (I’m not at all sorry to have skipped Flash.) I was feeling considerably better thanks to new medication, and easing my way toward being self-supporting, but at the time I discovered WordPress in 2005, I was suffering from a bad case of Multiple Business Personality Disorder. I had a number of useful skills, but no clear focus or unifying principle.</p>\n<p>I had started my first blog on Blogger in January 2005, but within a few months I found myself hanging out with a lot of podcasters, and almost all of them used WordPress because the PodPress plugin (RIP) made it so easy to publish feeds with enclosures. I started to explore WordPress further, and within a few years had migrated my blog from Blogger because they stopped allowing you to self-host your blog. WordPress had meanwhile introduced pages, making it possible to build an entire website rather than having an HTML website and a WordPress blog.</p>\n<h3>Finding Community</h3>\n<p>But WordPress would probably have remained a sideline if I hadn’t started going to WordPress meetups. I was at a podcasting meetup in San Francisco in late 2008 when someone mentioned a WordPress meetup in SF. I went to a meeting (I think in January 2009) and someone THERE mentioned that there was a WordPress meetup starting in the East Bay, closer to where I lived. I went to that meeting in February 2009…and the rest is history.</p>\n<blockquote><p>It wasn’t that the first meetup was such an amazing experience. The organizer was new at running a meetup and we were all strangers to each other. But somehow talking about our shared interest in WordPress just made us more interested.</p></blockquote>\n<p>I’ve always been a service junkie, and I’d been involved with other networking groups for years, so it wasn’t long before I found myself co-organizer, helping to plan and run the meetup and welcoming new members as they joined. Through the meetup, I started to learn more about the WordPress community and open source software. A group of us went to WordCamp SF 2009.</p>\n<a href=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/WordCampSF-2010-min.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-2019\" src=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/WordCampSF-2010-min.jpg\" alt=\"East Bay WordPress Meetup members at WCSF 2010\" width=\"1776\" height=\"2336\" /></a>East Bay WordPress Meetup members at WCSF 2010\n<p>Because of the meetup, I made more and more connections in the wider WordPress community. Because of the meetup, I learned a lot more about WordPress than I would have on my own, in part because I often had to teach it. Because of the meetup, more WordPress-related work came to me. I started to learn more code, little bits and fragments at a time. WordPress drew me in deeper and deeper as time progressed. In 2012, I officially registered WP Fangirl, and since that time, almost all my income has come from WordPress work.</p>\n<h3>All the WordCamps</h3>\n<p>I went to all the San Francisco WordCamps between 2009 and 2014, after which WordCamp US was instituted. By the time the first WordCamp Sacramento was announced in 2015, all the meetup presentations I’d done gave me the confidence to submit a talk. It was accepted. I’ve since spoken at WCLAX 2016 and WCSAC 2016. I’m working on my presentation for WCSAC 2017. (I’d love to travel for more meetups, but it’s not in the budget.)</p>\n<a href=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Sallie_Goetsch-min.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-2021\" src=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Sallie_Goetsch-min.jpg\" alt=\"Speaking at WordCamp LAX 2016\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1086\" /></a>Speaking at WordCamp LAX 2016\n<p>The experience I had with the Meetup made me want to connect more and more with other WordPress people, and to help out where I could. As I said, I’m a service junkie, so I readily embraced the idea of giving back to the community. I’m not a good enough developer (yet, anyway) to be a core contributor, but there are lots of ways to contribute. The main one, in my case, is organizing the meetup, though it took me until 2016 to join the official WordPress Community meetup program.</p>\n<p>I was also very active in the main WordPress LinkedIn group for several years, which led to O’Reilly hiring me as the technical reviewer for WordPress: The Missing Manual. (It may also have contributed to the gig I had in 2011 making WordPress videos for Peachpit Press and the one in 2012 and 2013 teaching WordPress for Mediabistro.)</p>\n<p>I started listening to WordPress podcasts in about 2006, though WP Weekly is the only one of those early shows that’s still around. There are tons of new WP podcasts now, more than I can keep up with. I got invited to participate in one, the WP-Tonic panel, starting in 2015. You can hear me being mouthy and opinionated there almost every week. I follow WordPress people on Twitter, belong to WordPress Slack teams, and have been known to dream about WordPress.</p>\n<p>Thanks to the WordPress meetup, I found focus, fun, friends, and what passes for fame. I’m still working on fortune, but I can tell you that the secret to the many great referrals I’ve gotten from my extensive network of WordPress connections is this: don’t go into it looking for what you can get. Just concentrate on what you can give, and never stop learning.</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: WordPress Ate My Life—In a Good Way\" class=\"rtsocial-twitter-button\" href=\"https://twitter.com/share?text=WordPress%20Ate%20My%20Life%E2%80%94In%20a%20Good%20Way&via=heropress&url=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fwordpress-ate-life-good-way%2F\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"></a></div></div><div class=\"rtsocial-fb-horizontal fb-light\"><div class=\"rtsocial-fb-horizontal-button\"><a title=\"Like: WordPress Ate My Life—In a Good Way\" class=\"rtsocial-fb-button rtsocial-fb-like-light\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fwordpress-ate-life-good-way%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%2Fwordpress-ate-life-good-way%2F&title=WordPress+Ate+My+Life%E2%80%94In+a+Good+Way\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share: WordPress Ate My Life—In a Good Way\"></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/wordpress-ate-life-good-way/&media=https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/080917-min-150x150.jpg&description=WordPress Ate My Life—In a Good Way\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pin: WordPress Ate My Life—In a Good Way\"></a></div></div><a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"perma-link\" href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/wordpress-ate-life-good-way/\" title=\"WordPress Ate My Life—In a Good Way\"></a></div><p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/wordpress-ate-life-good-way/\">WordPress Ate My Life—In a Good Way</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, 09 Aug 2017 12:00:21 +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:14:\"Sallie Goetsch\";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:26;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:89:\"Post Status: Live from Publish: Challenges facing the WordPress Economy — Draft podcast\";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:31:\"https://poststatus.com/?p=38415\";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:86:\"https://poststatus.com/live-publish-challenges-facing-wordpress-economy-draft-podcast/\";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:1640:\"<p>Welcome to the Post Status <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/category/draft\">Draft podcast</a>, which you can find <a href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/post-status-draft-wordpress/id976403008\">on iTunes</a>, <a href=\"https://play.google.com/music/m/Ih5egfxskgcec4qadr3f4zfpzzm?t=Post_Status__Draft_WordPress_Podcast\">Google Play</a>, <a href=\"http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/krogsgard/post-status-draft-wordpress-podcast\">Stitcher</a>, and <a href=\"http://simplecast.fm/podcasts/1061/rss\">via RSS</a> for your favorite podcatcher.

The team is <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/952#issuecomment-320644682\">considering various solutions</a> and <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/952#issuecomment-320638392\">some </a>have <a href=\"https://twitter.com/scottkclark/status/894488147966517248\">suggested</a> that a Fields API in core would have made the future of meta boxes less of an issue.</p>\n<p>I reached out to <a href=\"https://www.scottkclark.com/\">Scott Kingsley Clark</a>, lead developer of the <a title=\"Pods Framework for WordPress\" href=\"http://pods.io/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pods Framework</a> and one of the main contributors to the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/fields-api/\">Fields API project</a>. Clark explains what the Fields API is, its current status, its relationship to the meta box discussions, and how to contribute.</p>\n<p><strong>For those who don’t know, what is the Fields API project? How would it impact users?</strong></p>\n<p>It’s a <a href=\"https://github.com/sc0ttkclark/wordpress-fields-api\">feature proposal</a> for WordPress core to allow registering fields to different screens in the admin area through a single API. For posts, this would add new meta boxes and fields within them. For users, it would add new sections and fields to the profile screen. The goal is to integrate with all of the different admin screens including, Posts, Terms, Users, Media, and Comments.</p>\n<p>Typical users would notice that the fields added by plugins they are using all have a similar look and feel. That’s really an oversimplification of what’s going on behind the scenes, but it’s one of the big benefits as well, since it shouldn’t really affect end-users beyond improving consistency of different screens and potential redesigns.</p>\n<p><strong>What has caused progress on the project to slow down?</strong></p>\n<p>I was out-of-town for a all-hands company meetup, lead organized WordCamp Dallas-Fort Worth 2016, and ran PodsCamp 2016 in Austin, TX, all in the span of about a month and a half. It was intense, but somehow last summer I thought I could manage moving too.</p>\n<p>We were in the process of showing our house, almost all of the time, so that we could sell it. The buying process was full of thorns, with a move that was pretty fun. I also started a new job at Modern Tribe in February, 2017.</p>\n<p>In retrospect, yes that was way too much but the challenge was met and the only thing that suffered was the Fields API project, which was no easy feat. It’s unfortunate, but I’m glad to be getting back into things again this month.</p>\n<p><strong>Are new contributors showing a renewed interest in the project?</strong></p>\n<p>Yes. We recently had a few people become interested in helping. When I’ve got help, I’m 300% more productive. It’s much easier to bounce ideas off of others with shared experience than it is going alone.</p>\n<p><strong>How does the API relate to how meta boxes could be handled in Gutenberg? If the API were in core, how would it influence the discussion?</strong></p>\n<p>Here’s where the irony sets in. If we were successful in getting a Fields API into WordPress before Gutenberg was a thing, the ability for Gutenberg to revamp as much as it has planned to revamp in the post editor, would not be as hindered as it is now.</p>\n<p>The biggest problem I see facing Gutenberg is reining in the scope that covers meta boxes. They need to get things working for meta boxes that are already being registered and used by plugin developers.</p>\n<p>If Fields API were a part of WordPress, they would still need to keep backwards compatibility but I could easily add a meta box with my fields into the proposed Gutenberg meta boxes (still in discussion) with just a few lines of code. Plus, my fields and meta boxes registered using the Fields API would work just fine on pre-Gutenberg sites.</p>\n<p>Another parallel here would be the User edit screen, which has had <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/08/03/fields-api-request-for-review-of-direction/\">much discussion</a> about revamping the way it looks. It’s very difficult to revamp it and give it consistency without a Fields API already in place. It’s not impossible, but many problems come to the surface during any approach to ‘React-ify’ it, utilize meta boxes, or whatever it would use.</p>\n<p><strong>How can people get involved/contribute to the Fields API project?</strong></p>\n<p>I’m very excited to have others interested in moving the project along.

This is very worrying for the future of WordPress as a CMS.”</p>\n<p>James Nylen, one of the lead developers on the project, reassured followers of the topic that the Gutenberg team has not forgotten about the issue but rather that it is “an extremely complicated issue that we are only beginning to look into, along with many, many other priorities for getting the editor working well.” He also <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/952#issuecomment-320523428\" target=\"_blank\">asked</a> for help from the community in planning and testing implementations for supporting meta boxes.</p>\n<p>This response left many things unclear. Participants in the discussion, many of whom are developers concerned about about the prospect of having to rewrite all of their meta boxes as React components, are wondering why meta boxes cannot work alongside the new Gutenberg editor and why the team chose to include meta boxes in the scope of the project.</p>\n<p>“Is it possible to replace the existing TinyMCE post editor with Gutenberg while leaving the rest of the interface, including meta boxes and existing hooks, unchanged?” Kevin Hoffman asked. When Nylen clarified that Gutenberg, as written today, is intended to be a <code>post_content</code> editor, Hoffman summarized the concerns that many developers have expressed:</p>\n<blockquote><p>If Gutenberg is truly intended to be a <code>post_content</code> editor, then meta boxes should be left alone as they are not concerned with <code>post_content</code>.</p>\n<p>Furthermore the need for an API to translate PHP meta boxes into React meta boxes is a manufactured problem. It does not have to be a problem, but it has become a problem because somewhere along the line it was decided that rewriting the <code>post_content</code> editor should also completely change how meta boxes work.</p>\n<p>You’ve outlined the tremendous challenge of writing such an API in <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/2251\" target=\"_blank\">#2251</a>. Translating PHP meta boxes into React for a popular custom fields solution like ACF is challenging enough, let alone trying to do so for every meta box implementation that exists today, popular or not. It does not scale.</p></blockquote>\n<p>As the Gutenberg contributors shared that they have only just begun to look into the meta box issue, it’s now clear why there is no roadmap for how the project will handle “legacy” PHP meta boxes. In July, Nylen said, “If I had to guess where we will end up here: current metaboxes will be moved to a “legacy” area and we will provide APIs, documentation, and examples for registering ‘new-style’ metabox-block-thingies.”</p>\n<p>Plugin developers who manage meta box libraries, agencies, and other concerned parties are following the ticket to find out how to plan for the WordPress 5.0, which has been targeted as the Gutenberg release. Andrey Savchenko <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/952#issuecomment-320574699\" target=\"_blank\">asked</a> if WordPress plans to formally deprecate the meta box API, which finally drew a clear answer from the team. Matias Ventura <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/952#issuecomment-320644682\" target=\"_blank\">responded</a>:</p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>“Does WordPress intend to formally deprecate Metabox API?”</strong><br />\nNo.</p>\n<p>The question that is not fully answered yet is how do meta-boxes work in the context of the Gutenberg editor. Should they remain the same or evolve? How can we move towards the design goals with the least amount of disruption possible?</p>\n<p>This issue has been lingering not due to a lack of desire, but lack of resources. The primary focus for this project is to offer a rich content editing interface that optimizes for direct manipulation of user content through the notion of blocks. (Having used meta-boxes extensively for various projects, I believe blocks can offer a better step forwards for many of those needs while providing a better user experience.)”</p></blockquote>\n<p>Ventura listed several options the team has considered for handling meta boxes and requested help from the community to build the best solution:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>If we detect a meta-box is registered we can fallback to the old interface, nothing changes.</li>\n<li>We could split editing the content and modifying meta information into two screens or stages.</li>\n<li>We can try to see how feasible it is to render these as they are (PHP) below the content: <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/2251\" target=\"_blank\">#2251</a>.</li>\n<li>A theme/plugin/CPT could unregister the new interface as needed.</li>\n<li>Various items that relied on meta boxes could be converted to blocks for UI (still storing data separately).</li>\n<li>We could implement API based meta boxes extensibility like the Fields API.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>When pressed to answer the question of why meta boxes are being included in the context of the new editor, Gutenberg design lead Joen Asmussen clarified how the team decided to include meta boxes in the scope of the project:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Gutenberg did start just with the editor box. The kickoff goal was to unify multiple disparate interfaces under a single unified block interface. It quickly become apparent that in order for us to create a compelling experience revolving around this unified block interface, we had to consider the full writing flow, including settings and publishing.</p>\n<p>If the key strength of WordPress is to make it easy for anyone to create rich posts, then we can’t just design for those of us who already know how to use the editor. We have to consider users who’ve never used WordPress before, and what they expect in a modern publishing interface. Otherwise we’d just be adding cognitive load to an already heavy interface.</p></blockquote>\n<p>The question of how meta boxes will fit into the context of the Gutenberg editor is still open. Participants in the discussion are eager to have this question answered for the sake of backwards compatibility and also because it affects ongoing decisions regarding Gutenberg development and screen design.</p>\n<p>“I completely get how much work has been done towards the ‘screen’ replacement approach,” Xavi Ivars <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/952#issuecomment-320771891\" target=\"_blank\">commented</a> on the issue. “But shouldn’t a project that started with the goal of a ‘post content editor’ replacement, have gone back to the community before deciding unilaterally that it would replace the whole editor screen?”</p>\n<p>The meta box API isn’t being deprecated but there’s also no clear path forward for how Gutenberg will support “legacy” PHP meta boxes. The Gutenberg team said the issue has not been solved due to lack of resources. The project needs community input and better communication if the team is going to land on a solution that will seamlessly usher the majority of WordPress sites into the Gutenberg era with the least amount of breakage.</p>\n<p>Currently, <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/2251\" target=\"_blank\">the feasibility of rendering legacy PHP meta boxes below the content</a> is fraught with challenges and still up for debate. If there isn’t enough time or client resources for developers to rewrite their work into JS-driven meta boxes, then a clear path for opting out of the Gutenberg interface may be necessary for sites that need to preserve the legacy “PHP” meta boxes.</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, 08 Aug 2017 19:54:38 +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:29;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:52:\"WPTavern: Gutenberg 0.7.0 Adds Opt-In Usage Tracking\";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=73912\";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:63:\"https://wptavern.com/gutenberg-0-7-0-adds-opt-in-usage-tracking\";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:6286:\"<p><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/08/04/whats-new-in-gutenberg-4th-august/\" target=\"_blank\">Gutenberg 0.7.0</a> was released just before the weekend with improvements to the writing flow and greater flexibility for theme authors to add their own customizations. Last week’s version 0.6.0 release made significant changes to the way paragraphs are created within text blocks, allowing for blocks to split when pressing enter. However, it inserted a “New Paragraph” placeholder that was distracting for users trying to stay in the flow of writing.</p>\n<p>Version 0.7.0 <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/2161\" target=\"_blank\">hides placeholders on focus</a>, providing a cleaner experience of starting a new paragraph. After a user has already intuitively initiated a new paragraph by pressing enter, the “New Paragraph” placeholder holds little value. Removing the placeholder is a minor improvement that brings Gutenberg closer to providing a better experience for long-form writing.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/new-paragraph-gutenberg-0-7-0.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>This release also introduces <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/2186\" target=\"_blank\">theme support for customized color palettes and a shared component</a>, such as cover text and button blocks. The sample code below shows how easy it would be for theme authors to implement their own color palettes.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/theme-support-color-palette.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>Gutenberg contributors have also added <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/2021\" target=\"_blank\">theme support for wide images</a>. According to the inline docs, this allows for some blocks, such as the image block, to define a “wide” or “full” alignment by adding the corresponding classname to the block’s wrapper ( <code>alignwide</code> or <code>alignfull</code> ).</p>\n<p>These additions offer theme developers a better picture of where Gutenberg is headed in regards to themes. The plugin’s contributors are slowly building in more points of customization so that theme authors can add or override Gutenberg’s styles and provide additional opt-in features to their users.</p>\n<p>Theme support for wide images has already been committed to Tammie Lister’s experimental <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg-theme\" target=\"_blank\">Gutenberg Theme</a>. The project was created to showcase how Gutenberg will interact with WordPress themes and is still a work in progress.</p>\n<h3>Gutenberg Adds Opt-In Data Collection</h3>\n<p>After updating the Gutenberg plugin to 0.7.0 and navigating to the editor, users are presented with the option to opt into data collection about their usage of the editor. The usage data, which is anonymous and does not include post content, is sent to WordPress.com for future analysis. Gutenberg contributor James Nylen explained how the data tracking works in a <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/08/06/opt-in-usage-tracking-in-gutenberg/\" target=\"_blank\">post</a> on Make.WordPress.org.</p>\n<p>“The Gutenberg plugin contains a mechanism to count how often specific actions occur over time,” Nylen said. “If the user has previously clicked ‘Yes’ on this screen, and an event occurs that has an associated <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=bumpStat&type=\" target=\"_blank\">bumpStat call</a> in the Gutenberg code, then this event is sent to WordPress.com servers by loading a special ‘pixel’ image.”</p>\n<p>Gutenberg’s tracking code stores the “group” and “name” sent with the bumpStat call (short strings of text), along with the time the event was recorded. Nylen said the team will use the data to improve the editor based on usage patterns. This data collection information is currently only available to those with access to WordPress.com servers.</p>\n<p>“As Gutenberg is an open-source community project, we view this data as belonging to the WordPress community, so we also plan to make this data available via a public dashboard,” Nylen said.</p>\n<p>He shared an example of the data that has been collected from the plugin over the past few days since 0.7.0 was released. This chart is a preview of the number and types of blocks that users have added to posts while testing the editor.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/gutenberg-add-block-total-e1502130689795.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>“The approach taken here is very similar to Calypso’s event tracking code,” Nylen said in the <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/2140\" target=\"_blank\">pull request for adding the data collection</a>. “We can use the data added in this PR to inform various decisions such as default order for blocks and whether some blocks are less suitable for core, and more generally this is a very useful technique to collect user experience data.”</p>\n<p>The majority of Gutenberg’s chief contributors are Automattic employees, so it makes sense that they would use the options and infrastructure available to them to quickly get data collection going in Gutenberg. However, the data from these tests needs to be shared with the greater WordPress community as soon as possible, since it is being collected in the name of the WordPress project. Ideally, it would have been set up to be displayed publicly before asking users to opt into the collection.</p>\n<p>Gutenberg contributors are also considering making the data collection more modular so that it could be used with other WordPress feature plugins or existing features in the future.</p>\n<p>“Maybe the tracking could be its own module, it could be useful outside of the editor (and other WP feature plugins later),” Riad Benguella <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/2140#discussion_r130839438\" target=\"_blank\">said</a>. “Longer term (or not), WP.org needs its own tracking infrastructure and this could be very useful to enhance WordPress.”</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, 07 Aug 2017 20:05:04 +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:30;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:107:\"WPTavern: Trademark Trial and Appeal Board Dismisses Automattic’s Trademark Dispute Against Chris Pearson\";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=73899\";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:115:\"https://wptavern.com/trademark-trial-and-appeal-board-dismisses-automattics-trademark-dispute-against-chris-pearson\";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:4102:\"<p>In July 2015, Automattic <a href=\"http://www.adrforum.com/domaindecisions/1613723.htm\">won its <span class=\"_Tgc\"> Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy</span> (UDRP) case</a> against <a href=\"http://www.pearsonified.com/\">Chris Pearson</a> regarding Thesis.com after the <a href=\"http://www.adrforum.com/domaindecisions/1613723.htm\">panel determined</a> that he failed to establish all three elements required under the ICANN Policy.</p>\n<blockquote><p>A party must satisfy all three of the burdens imposed under the Policy in order for the Panel to order transfer of a domain name from the entity registering it.

Therefore, the Panel finds that Complainant failed to support its allegations under Policy ¶ 4(a)(iii) and finds for Respondent.</p></blockquote>\n<p>This allowed Automattic to maintain ownership of <a href=\"https://themeshaper.com/\">Thesis.com</a>. Automattic retaliated by <a href=\"http://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/v?pno=92061714&pty=CAN&eno=1\">filing a petition</a> for cancellation with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. In the petition, Automattic argued that the three trademarks owned by Pearson, DIYTHEMES, THESIS THEME, and THESIS, should be cancelled.</p>\n<p>For the past two years, legal teams for both parties have gone back and forth filing briefs, requests for extensions, and other documents. Earlier this year on April 20th, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board <a href=\"http://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/v?pno=92061714&pty=CAN&eno=19\">dismissed the case</a> citing a lack of evidence and testimony from Automattic that establishes real interest and a reasonable belief in damages.</p>\n<blockquote><p>The record is devoid of any evidence concerning the nature of Petitioner’s (Automattic) commercial activities and its interest in Respondent’s (Chris Pearson) registered marks. Proof of standing in a Board proceeding is a low threshold.</p>\n<p>For example, Petitioner could have submitted testimony or competent documentary evidence as to its asserted need to use the terms comprising the marks and nature of its business activities to establish its standing.</p>\n<p>Petitioner neglected to do so. Thus, on the record before us, Petitioner has failed to establish a ‘real interest’ and ‘reasonable belief in damage.’ Accordingly, the cancellation proceeding is dismissed for Petitioner’s lack of standing.</p></blockquote>\n<p>On May 22nd,<a href=\"http://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/v?pno=92061714&pty=CAN&eno=20\"> Automattic filed a motion</a> for the board to reconsider its decision. On June 1st, the <a href=\"http://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/v?pno=92061714&pty=CAN&eno=21\">board denied the request</a> making its decision final.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Petitioner has failed to establish any error in the Final Decision. Rather, Petitioner expresses disagreement with the result reached and argues, for the first time on reconsideration, positions it should have alleged in its petition to cancel, supported with testimony and/or competent evidence, and raised in its trial brief.</p>\n<p>We will not infer from Petitioner’s scant allegations and evidence, and silence in its brief, proof of its standing to bring this cancellation proceeding.

Yes, segments of it are and will continue to do so. It’s like in any industry: the car replaced the horse and the robot replaced the factory worker. What was successful in the New Market phase may not work in the more mature, ‘Existing Market’ phase we are in.</p></blockquote>\n<p>It’s a good read and it’s interesting to think about what new segments will be created that don’t exist.</p>\n<h2>WPCampus 2017 Videos Are Now Available</h2>\n<p>WPCampus has published <a href=\"https://wpcampus.org/videos/\">all of the videos</a> from its 2017 conference.

In early 2016, Medium convinced a collection of small, independent publications to move to its platform but shortly thereafter discontinued its unsuccessful ad-driven publishing model <a href=\"https://www.buzzfeed.com/charliewarzel/when-you-launch-your-publication-the-same-day-medium-changes\" target=\"_blank\">without notifying publishers</a>.</p>\n<p>In March 2017, Medium CEO Ev Williams announced that his solution to fix the broken, ad-driven media industry was to fire up <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/medium-aims-to-fix-broken-media-with-new-5-subscription-program\" target=\"_blank\">a new $5 subscription program</a> that would put articles behind a paywall inside of the Medium network.</p>\n<p>Today The Awl, The Hairpin, and The Billfold announced the publications have <a href=\"https://www.theawl.com/2017/08/somethings-different/\" target=\"_blank\">moved back to WordPress</a> after switching to Medium in April 2016.</p>\n<p>“The move to Medium was a cool experiment, in my opinion, but the year is up and personally I missed the ads,” The Awl Editor Silvia Killingsworth said. <a href=\"https://www.thebillfold.com/2017/08/change-is-the-only-constant-in-life/\" target=\"_blank\">The Billfold’s announcement</a> cited Mediums’ recent changes as the reason for the move back to WordPress:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Our move to Medium was an experiment to explore a different kind of business model, and that experiment is over now that the platform has moved in a different direction (<a href=\"https://www.axios.com/publishers-flee-medium-amid-business-model-changes-2440471520.html\" target=\"_blank\">you can read more in-depth about those changes here</a>).</p>\n<p>Adapting to change is all part of the many joys of being a small, independent publisher.</p></blockquote>\n<h3>Film School Rejects Returns to WordPress After 1-Year Experiment with Medium</h3>\n<p><a href=\"https://filmschoolrejects.com/what-happened-with-medium/\" target=\"_blank\">Film School Rejects (FSR) also returned to WordPress in May</a> after a year-long, rocky experiment with Medium. The publication was one of Medium’s first 12 premium publishers.</p>\n<p>“To be honest, I can’t afford, nor would my heart hold up for, a move back to a private server and WordPress,” FSR founder Neil Miller <a href=\"https://www.poynter.org/2017/why-publishers-are-sticking-with-medium-for-now/444507/\" target=\"_blank\">told Poynter in January</a> after Medium announced it was pivoting away from ad-driven media. “So, barring a miracle, my site will live and die on Medium. I’m optimistic that I’ll find some sort of solution and be able to remain on Medium.”</p>\n<p>Ultimately, Medium’s goals as a publisher of subscription content were at odds with FSR’s ability to sustain the publication. Miller said they had ported 10 years of content over to the platform after being promised a beautiful user experience and a way forward that would allow FSR to grown the business, continue to pay its writers, and keep the publication on the cutting edge.</p>\n<p>“What we were sold when we joined their platform is very different from what they’re offering as a way forward,” Miller told Poynter. “It’s almost as if Ev Williams wasn’t concerned that he was pulling out the rug from underneath publishers who had placed their trust in his vision for the future of journalism.”</p>\n<p>After moving FSR back to WordPress, Miller said the partnership with Medium was great until the company changed course to become a different type of platform.</p>\n<p>“As time went on, it became clear that Medium’s priorities had shifted from being a platform for independent publishers to being itself a publisher of premium, subscription-based content,” he said. “As we learned more about their future plans for the now-existent Medium ‘Members Only’ program, it became clear that our site wouldn’t be able to continue to operate the way we always had.”</p>\n<p>Miller said the process of trying a new platform and returning to WordPress made him realize that he “missed some of the customizable features of WordPress,” which led his team to work on some new features they will be launching in the future. The site has reinstated its banner advertising on pages.</p>\n<p>“We’d love to be able to do this all without any ads, but there’s no money in that,” Miller said. “And guess who doesn’t get paid if the site can’t make any money? The people who write articles, edit the site, make video essays, curate One Perfect Shot, and host podcasts.”</p>\n<h3>ThinkProgress Exits Medium, Founder Says Platform is No Longer Developed with Publishers in Mind</h3>\n<p><a href=\"https://thinkprogress.org/\" target=\"_blank\">ThinkProgress</a> was one of the largest publications to make the move to Medium last August. After less than a year, the site has moved back to WordPress, its previous publishing platform. ThinkProgress founder Judd Legum told <a href=\"http://www.poynter.org/2017/with-big-plans-to-staff-up-thinkprogress-is-leaving-medium-behind-update/465424/\" target=\"_blank\">Poynter</a> that the lack of advertising capabilities was not the reason his publication left the platform but rather because Medium no longer serves the best interests of publishers.</p>\n<p>“I’m certainly not eager to have a bunch of ads on the site — and we’re not going to,” Legum said. “I’d love to have none. And if it were possible, I’d be interested in figuring out a model where we don’t have to have any. But if it’s connected to a platform that’s not going to be developed with publishers in mind, it doesn’t really make sense to think through that as a platform. That sealed it for me.”</p>\n<p>ThinkProgress is taking its 8 to 10 million unique pageviews per month back into the independent publishing space. It is the latest of several other publishers leaving Medium after having been persuaded in 2016 to jump into Ev Williams’ experiment with initial promises of free hosting, more traffic, and advertising money. Not all of the sites are moving back to WordPress, but most are looking to free themselves from Medium’s experiment on publishers and regain the ability to sell advertising and/or subscriptions.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.axios.com/bill-simmons-moves-the-ringer-from-medium-to-vox-media-2426770782.html\" target=\"_blank\">The Ringer moved to Vox Media</a> at the end of May after Medium discontinued its advertising model. <a href=\"https://www.poynter.org/2017/after-being-wooed-by-medium-some-publishers-are-beginning-to-leave/459998/\" target=\"_blank\">The Pacific Standard left Medium</a> to focus on building custom features to drive subscription growth.</p>\n<p>Backchannel also moved its site off of the platform and <a href=\"https://www.wired.com/story/backchannel-is-moving-to-wired\" target=\"_blank\">is now publishing on Wired.com</a>. “In the time since Backchannel launched, Medium has shifted its business strategy, and it’s no longer as focused on helping publications like ours profit,” BackChannel Editor Jessi Hempel said.</p>\n<p>Medium’s new <a href=\"https://medium.com/membership\" target=\"_blank\">subscription revenue model</a> and partner program are still in beta but the returns have not been enough to convince publishers to stay, even with costly migrations back to tried and proven platforms like WordPress. Ad-driven publishing may not be the most ideal way to keep a publication afloat, but publishers moving away from Medium are not willing to stay on for the the startup’s experiment at the expense of their writers and staff.</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, 04 Aug 2017 23:09:07 +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:59:\"WPTavern: WordPress 4.8.1 Released, Adds Custom HTML Widget\";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=73825\";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/wordpress-4-8-1-released-adds-custom-html-widget\";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:901:\"<p>WordPress 4.8.1 <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2017/08/wordpress-4-8-1-maintenance-release/\">is available for download</a> or as an update from the WordPress Dashboard.

The success of previous events has generated momentum to continue the 24-hour global translation sprints and has also increased the visibility of the Polyglots team’s contributions. These sprints have provided a catalyst for the team’s growth from 5,000 contributors in April 2015 to 17,000 in November 2016. The greater WordPress community has also grown in tandem, as reliable translations are the lifeblood of international WordPress usage.</p>\n<p>One way of measuring the growth of the global community is the checking the status of local meetups. After the addition of the dashboard events widget in WordPress 4.8, the community has seen a sharp rise in <a href=\"https://www.meetup.com/pro/wordpress/\" target=\"_blank\">meetup group</a> growth, according to <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2017/08/the-month-in-wordpress-july-2017/\" target=\"_blank\">recent stats</a> from the community team. The widget displays local WordPress events for logged-in users.</p>\n<p>“It’s safe to say that the widget has achieved its goals admirably — since WordPress 4.8 was released a little over a month ago, 31 new meetup groups have been formed with 15,647 new members across the whole program,” Hugh Lashbrooke said. “This is compared to 19 new groups and only 7,071 new members in the same time period last year.”</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/wordpress-meetups.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>Much of that growth can be attributed to the growth of the international WordPress community, which has continued to advance the concept of <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/2017/07/18/regional-camps-take-2/\" target=\"_blank\">regional WordCamps</a> for countries and continents. These include events such as WordCamp Netherlands, WordCamp Europe, and the planned WordCamp Asia, that bring larger groups of WordPress enthusiasts together around a common region.</p>\n<p>In 2014, the WordPress community hosted 80 WordCamps in 29 countries. At the conclusion of 2016, there were 115 total WordCamps hosted in 41 different countries.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/cm-wordpress/all/all\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress’ usage</a> continues to grow every year, and the percentage of non-English-speaking users is also expanding. In 2014, non-English WordPress downloads surpassed English downloads for the first time.</p>\n<p>Last July, <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wordpress-stats-page-redesigned-adds-new-data-on-installs-by-langauge\" target=\"_blank\">53.9% of WordPress sites used the English (US) locale</a>. That number has dropped to 50% as of today, as international usage continues to rise.</p>\n<a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/wordpress-locales-july-2017.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a>Stats from WordPress.org July 2017\n<p>Rahul Bansal’s lightning talk at WordCamp Europe identified one example of <a href=\"http://wordpress.tv/2017/06/21/rahul-bansal-how-translation-sprints-helps-bring-in-new-contributors/\" target=\"_blank\">how the translation sprints are bringing in new contributors in India</a>. In the past, meetup groups have had a problem with retaining new users, who often come to their first meetup lacking both a sense of belonging and confidence in contributing. Bansal and other Polyglots members had an idea to remove this block to contributing by getting new users involved in translating WordPress.</p>\n<p>During the last global translation day event, Bansal helped organize a local group to translate WordPress core into Hindi, Marathi, and Gujarati. They also translated the subtitles for the WordPress 4.6 release video. The key was that the leaders did not participate in translating strings but rather focused on guiding new translators – 90% ended up being first-time contributors.</p>\n<p>WordPress 4.6 shipped with support for 50 languages and the complete Gujarati translation was added to core just a few days before the release. Its inclusion in the release made WordPress more accessible to approximately 65.5 million Gujarati speakers worldwide.</p>\n<div class=\"embed-wrap\"></div>\n<p>The 3rd Global WordPress Translation Day falls on the same day that the <a href=\"https://www.un.org/press/en/2017/ga11914.doc.htm\" target=\"_blank\">United Nations has designated as International Translation Day</a>, a new initiative to recognize “the role of professional translation in connection with nations and fostering peace, understanding, and development.”</p>\n<p>WordPress has only just begun to explore its potential to democratize publishing and hasn’t even cracked the ice in terms of usage across the world’s most popular languages. Sites using the various Chinese and Arabic locales make up less than 2% of international usage, despite these languages having more than a billion native speakers combined. If WordPress adoption takes off in these parts of the world, it will create a whole new wave of contribution and vastly expand the world market for commercial plugins and themes. The Polyglots team are on the forefront of making this possible.</p>\n<p>The first two WPTranslationDay events were held in April and November of 2016. The <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/2nd-global-wordpress-translation-day-brings-780-translators-together-across-133-locales\" target=\"_blank\">second event had a 74% increase in participation over the first</a> with a total of 780 translators participating.

I’m a female developer but I’ve never really felt like that is anything too special and more importantly I have rarely felt like my gender mattered.</p></blockquote>\n<p>As a kid I thought I would become an artist or a dancer. It wasn’t until I had to choose the university to apply to that I decided to go with something more practical so I went with Computer Science. I hadn’t really done much with code before that, except for having a Lord of the Rings discussion board with my friends and making doing some HTML & CSS related to that. After the first year of school I was already making my first WordPress sites to paying customers.</p>\n<p>After graduating I have been a full-time employee in a developer position as well as a freelancer. I’ve worked both in Finland and in the USA. During my career I have actually been surprised how easy it has been for me, a woman in the male-dominated industry, to find work, to get promoted and to get recognition. I have not faced much discrimination or prejudice related to my gender, and the great professionals I have got to work with have always been interested in my skills beyond anything else.</p>\n<p>So how come there is such a huge gender gap in the industry? I’ve witnessed it myself many times – being the only woman in a WordPress meetup of thirty people, or not having to queue at all to women’s bathroom in a tech conference with over 1000 attendees. There is no doubt that women are as capable as men, so whatever the reason is I really hope the future women would see the fun, problem-solving profession of a programmer as a great career option.</p>\n<h3>A few tips for an aspiring developer</h3>\n<p>I want to encourage everyone considering a developer career to take action and go for it. The tech industry is full of very clever and inspiring people and I promise you will not be bored. More importantly it is a safe career choice: the job market is great and the companies and the different tech communities are generally very open and welcoming. If you want to be a woman person in tech, remember:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Do not accept <del>gender</del> any discrimination</strong><br />\nOne great thing about being a developer is the current status of the job market. There is a lot more demand than there is supply, so you can choose who you work with. Do not put up with discrimination, talk about it openly and stand against it. I’ve been lucky enough not to face much judgement based on my gender. I’ve worked both in Finland and in the US and the biggest challenges I’ve faced have been clients that have been surprised that a woman is the tech lead in their project. Usually after a few hours of working together the prejudice disappears – it has always been enough to just be professional and stay true to myself.</li>\n<li><strong>Be active and give back</strong><br />\nIt is important to be active in your community and help other people out in their careers. Everyone benefits from a striving local community and also it is a great opportunity to make new connections and open new doors in your career.Being an organiser of WordCamp Finland & WordPress Helsinki meetup group for the last few years has really given me more than it has taken. I’ve learnt a lot and met many inspiring people, and it has opened up new career options for me too. The best thing tho has been just seeing the Finnish community grow so much and get more active by the day.</li>\n<li><strong>It’s skills that matter</strong><br />\nThis is really what it comes down to. Are you developing your skills constantly? Are you willing to keep up with the industry? You do not have to be the best developer, but you should be confident in your skills and be willing to always learn new ones. I believe that this is the only thing that matters in the end – not your gender.</li>\n</ol>\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: Your Skills Speak Louder Than Your Gender\" class=\"rtsocial-twitter-button\" href=\"https://twitter.com/share?text=Your%20Skills%20Speak%20Louder%20Than%20Your%20Gender&via=heropress&url=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fskills-speak-louder-gender%2F\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"></a></div></div><div class=\"rtsocial-fb-horizontal fb-light\"><div class=\"rtsocial-fb-horizontal-button\"><a title=\"Like: Your Skills Speak Louder Than Your Gender\" class=\"rtsocial-fb-button rtsocial-fb-like-light\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fskills-speak-louder-gender%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%2Fskills-speak-louder-gender%2F&title=Your+Skills+Speak+Louder+Than+Your+Gender\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share: Your Skills Speak Louder Than Your Gender\"></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/skills-speak-louder-gender/&media=https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/080217-min-150x150.jpg&description=Your Skills Speak Louder Than Your Gender\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pin: Your Skills Speak Louder Than Your Gender\"></a></div></div><a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"perma-link\" href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/skills-speak-louder-gender/\" title=\"Your Skills Speak Louder Than Your Gender\"></a></div><p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/skills-speak-louder-gender/\">Your Skills Speak Louder Than Your Gender</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, 02 Aug 2017 11:00:33 +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:14:\"Sonja Jaakkola\";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:40;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:43:\"Dev Blog: The Month in WordPress: July 2017\";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=4885\";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:68:\"https://wordpress.org/news/2017/08/the-month-in-wordpress-july-2017/\";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:5643:\"<p>After a particularly busy month <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2017/07/the-month-in-wordpress-june-2017/\">in June</a>, things settled down a bit in the WordPress world — WordPress 4.8’s release went very smoothly, allowing the Core team to build up some of the community infrastructure around development. Read on for more interesting news from around the WordPress world in July.</p>\n<hr />\n<h2>Weekly meeting for new core contributors</h2>\n<p>Onboarding new contributors is a persistent issue for most WordPress contribution teams. While every team welcomes any new contributors, the path to getting deeply involved can be tricky to find at times.</p>\n<p>This month, the Core team implemented a fantastic new initiative: <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/06/30/announcing-a-weekly-new-contributors-meeting/\">weekly meetings for new core contributors</a> as a way to encourage involvement and foster fresh contributions. The meetings not only focus on bugs suited to first-time contributors, they also make space for experienced contributors to help out individuals who may be new to developing WordPress core.</p>\n<p>The meetings are held every Wednesday at 19:00 UTC in the #core channel in the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/chat/\">Making WordPress Slack group</a>.</p>\n<h2>Increased focus on PHP practices in WordPress core</h2>\n<p>In bringing people together to improve WordPress core, a new channel in the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/chat/\">Making WordPress Slack group</a> named #core-php is designed to focus on PHP development in the project.</p>\n<p>Along with this increased concentration on PHP, a <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/07/06/announcement-for-weekly-php-meetings/\">new weekly meeting is now taking place</a> every Monday at 18:00 UTC in #core-php to improve WordPress core’s PHP practices.</p>\n<h2>Sharp rise in meetup group growth</h2>\n<p>The dashboard events widget in WordPress 4.8 displays local, upcoming WordPress events for the logged in user. The events listed in this widget are pulled from the <a href=\"https://www.meetup.com/pro/wordpress/\">meetup chapter program</a>, as well as the <a href=\"https://central.wordcamp.org/schedule\">WordCamp schedule</a>.</p>\n<p>This widget provides greater visibility of official WordPress events, and encourages community involvement in these events. It’s safe to say that the widget has achieved its goals admirably — since WordPress 4.8 was released a little over a month ago, 31 new meetup groups have been formed with 15,647 new members across the whole program. This is compared to 19 new groups and only 7,071 new members in the same time period last year.</p>\n<p>You can find a local meetup group to join <a href=\"https://www.meetup.com/pro/wordpress/\">on meetup.com</a>, and if you would like to get involved in organizing events for your community, you can find out more about the inner workings of the program <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/meetups/\">on the Community Team site</a> or by joining the #community-events channel in the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/chat/\">Making WordPress Slack group</a>.</p>\n<h2>WordPress 4.8.1 due for imminent release</h2>\n<p>WordPress 4.8 cycle’s first maintenance release will be published in the coming week, more than a month after 4.8 was released. This release fix some important issues in WordPress core and the majority of users will find that their sites will update to this new version automatically.</p>\n<p>If you would like to help out by testing this release before it goes live, you can follow the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/testing/beta/\">beta testing guide</a> for WordPress core. To get further involved in building WordPress core, jump into the #core channel in the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/chat/\">Making WordPress Slack group</a>, and follow <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/\">the Core team blog</a>.</p>\n<hr />\n<h2>Further reading:</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The WordPress mobile apps have been updated with <a href=\"https://en.blog.wordpress.com/2017/07/24/a-brand-new-editor-for-the-wordpress-mobile-apps/\">a brand new text editor</a>.</li>\n<li>In a recent push to encourage WordPress users to upgrade their PHP versions, two features have been proposed – one <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/41191\">to provide a notice to users</a> and another to <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/40934\">allow PHP version requirements to be specified by plugins and themes</a>.</li>\n<li>John Maeda wrote <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/design/2017/07/14/whywordpress2/\">a great post</a> celebrating the freedom that WordPress offers.</li>\n<li>Gutenberg, the new text editor for WordPress, is <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/07/28/whats-new-in-gutenberg-28th-july/\">in continual development</a> — everyone is invited to <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/test/handbook/call-for-testing/gutenberg-testing/\">test it out</a>.</li>\n<li>The WordPress Meta team is starting <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/meta/2017/07/26/experiment-wordcamp-org-bug-scrubs/\">a new initiative</a> to bring the community together to focus on fixing bugs across the WordCamp.org network.</li>\n<li>Volunteer applications for WordCamp US <a href=\"https://2017.us.wordcamp.org/2017/08/01/wcus-needs-you-volunteer-applications-are-now-open/\">are now open</a>.</li>\n</ul>\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>\";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, 02 Aug 2017 07:50:14 +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:15:\"Hugh Lashbrooke\";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:41;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:74:\"WPTavern: Jetpack 5.2 Brings Major Improvements to the Contact Form Module\";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=73816\";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:85:\"https://wptavern.com/jetpack-5-2-brings-major-improvements-to-the-contact-form-module\";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:2280:\"<p>Jetpack’s <a href=\"https://jetpack.com/support/contact-form/\" target=\"_blank\">Contact Form module</a> hasn’t seen too many changes since its first release (<a href=\"https://jetpack.com/2012/04/24/jetpack-1-3-released-contact-forms/\" target=\"_blank\">version 1.3</a>) in 2012.

The refreshed design brings form editing and previewing into the main content area where users can customize fields and labels and re-order them using drag-and-drop.

WordPress’ notification system is often abused and overused by plugin authors who want to inject upsells and announcements into the admin. These can stack up like a pile of junk mail vying for users’ attention when they are trying to manage their sites. Ultimately, notice overload decreases users’ enjoyment of the software and may contribute to making it a chore to log into WordPress.</p>\n<p>The new <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-dobby/\" target=\"_blank\">Dobby plugin</a> from <a href=\"https://tfrommen.de\" target=\"_blank\">Thorsten Frommen</a> attempts to solve this problem by capturing and hiding unwanted admin notices. Frommen, a WordPress engineer at Inpsyde, was inspired to create the plugin after he saw a recent tweet from Torsten Landsiedel showing “Everyday life in the WordPress dashboard.”</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"de\" dir=\"ltr\">Alltag im WordPress Dashboard. <a href=\"https://t.co/lofO7544uL\">pic.twitter.com/lofO7544uL</a></p>\n<p>— Torsten Landsiedel (@zodiac1978) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/zodiac1978/status/886646392730648577\">July 16, 2017</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<p>Dobby rolls up WordPress admin notices and keeps them hidden behind a “Reveal” button that toggles a color-coded list of notices into view. It captures all the notices that are printed via the admin notice hooks, such as <code>network_admin_notices</code>, <code>user_admin_notices</code>, <code>admin_notices</code> and <code>all_admin_notices</code>. Dobby will post an admin notice if any notices have been captured.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/dobby.gif?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>Frommen said the target audience for his plugin is “all the people sick and tired of too many admin notifications, which are oftentimes of no real value at all.” Dobby has a filter available for users to define what “too many” means for themselves. The <a href=\"https://github.com/tfrommen/Dobby\" target=\"_blank\">plugin’s GitHub repository</a> has examples of how to use the Dobby filter threshold, which lets users customize the minimum number of admin notices required to trigger Dobby to start hiding them.</p>\n<p>“It certainly is possible that people may miss (critical) messages with Dobby being active,” Frommen said. “However, Dobby is smart enough to style his admin notice according to the most critical one captured. This means that Dobby’s notice will have error styling if there was an error notice captured. If the most critical one was a warning, that’s what Dobby’s notice will be as well. Otherwise, it’s an info notice.”</p>\n<p>Within the first 10 minutes of requesting translations after announcing that Dobby was on WordPress.org, Frommen received German and Dutch translations for the plugin. The plugin UI has only two strings, which makes it a simple, 5-minute translation job.</p>\n<p>Frommen is considering adding a filter for people to define what kind of notices they would like Dobby to capture. He welcomes suggestions, <a href=\"https://github.com/tfrommen/Dobby\" target=\"_blank\">contributions on GitHub</a>, and <a href=\"https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/wp-dobby\" target=\"_blank\">more translations</a> from the WordPress community.</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, 01 Aug 2017 18:30:50 +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:44;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:105:\"WPTavern: Gutenberg 0.6.0 Changes Text/Paragraph Block Behavior, Adds New Cover Text and Read More 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=73735\";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:114:\"https://wptavern.com/gutenberg-0-6-0-changes-textparagraph-block-behavior-adds-new-cover-text-and-read-more-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:8165:\"<a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/paragraph.jpg?ssl=1\"><img /></a>photo credit: A Tiny Break From The Rain <a href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/78814955@N00/34165889514\"><img src=\"https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/2.3/72x72/1f430.png\" alt=\"?\" class=\"wp-smiley\" />Adventures In Wonderland & Through The Looking Glass<img src=\"https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/2.3/72x72/1f430.png\" alt=\"?\" class=\"wp-smiley\" /></a> – <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/\">(license)</a>\n<p><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/07/28/whats-new-in-gutenberg-28th-july/\" target=\"_blank\">Gutenberg 0.6.0</a> was released over the weekend with significant changes to the way paragraphs are created within text blocks. In previous versions of the plugin, pressing enter would create a line break inside a paragraph. This release modifies the behavior of the text/paragraph block to <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/1989\" target=\"_blank\">split the block when a user presses enter</a>. (Line breaks can still be created by pressing SHIFT+ENTER.)</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/gutenberg-new-paragraph.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>This update is a small improvement in that it hides the text formatting bar when you continue on with a new paragraph, but the slightest scroll or move of the mouse brings it back into view. Contributors are <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/1812#issuecomment-314045186\" target=\"_blank\">considering adding a buffer</a> at some point that would only trigger the UI after the mouse moves a certain number of pixels.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the “New Paragraph” placeholder text is intrusive and distracting. It is a constant, unwanted reminder of the structure of your document, which is not helpful if you are trying to stay in the flow of writing.</p>\n<p>Gutenberg may improve the experience of vertically stacking differently formatted content, but the writing experience still needs a great deal of work before it can be comparable to what WordPress currently provides. The new editor still gets in the way of writing, instead of silently enabling it.</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I love Gutenberg so far, but this is too many dongles to display at the moment of focusing on writing. <a href=\"https://t.co/Xpb19KgG01\">pic.twitter.com/Xpb19KgG01</a></p>\n<p>— Daniel Bachhuber (@danielbachhuber) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/danielbachhuber/status/889944454643064832\">July 25, 2017</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<p>After browsing the Gutenberg repository’s 400+ issues queue, it’s clear that contributors are aware of the jarring experience for writers and are working to improve it in every release. However, the beta software is not anywhere near ready for long-form writing, as the intrusive UI places too many cognitive demands on the writer.</p>\n<h3>New Blocks in 0.6.0: “Cover Text” and “Read More”</h3>\n<p>This release introduces a <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/2036\" target=\"_blank\">new “Cover Text” block</a> that includes background, text color, and full-width options. Color swatches are available in the sidebar block options and contributors are planning to add filters to allow plugin and theme authors to supply a custom palette.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/cover-text.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>Version 0.6.0 also includes a <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/1440\" target=\"_blank\">new “Read More” block</a> that inserts a read more link with instant visual feedback within the content.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/read-more-block.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>This release also brings several improvements to existing blocks, autosaving for drafts, and initial support for undo/redo keyboard functions.</p>\n<h3>Gutenberg’s Negative Reviews are Piling Up on WordPress.org</h3>\n<p>Gutenberg contributors are regularly shipping weekly releases, with many features added as bare bones placeholders that will be iterated on in future releases. New blocks are being developed simultaneously with core editing features. Some testers have <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/gutenberg-0-5-0-adds-new-verse-block-for-poetry-and-a-new-display-for-recent-blocks#comment-224944\" target=\"_blank\">bemoaned the proliferation of blocks</a> that may seldom be used while the basic writing experience continues to lag behind.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gutenberg/reviews/\" target=\"_blank\">Gutenberg plugin reviews</a> are currently averaging 2.3 out of 5 stars on WordPress.org, with 46 1-star reviews, 21 5-star reviews, and a handful in between. While the reviews are not a full representation of all who are testing Gutenberg, they provide a small window into users’ current expectations, delights, and frustrations with the editor. Gutenberg contributors are monitoring these forums and using the feedback to create bug reports.</p>\n<p>Many reviewers have left 1-star ratings, begging WordPress to keep it as a plugin instead of adding it to core. One reviewer even took to verse to further elaborate on his one-star review titled “<a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/catastophe-how-to-destroy-wordpress-in-2-weeks/\" target=\"_blank\">A Visit from St. Gutenberg</a>” with an adaptation of the classic poem “<a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Visit_from_St._Nicholas\" target=\"_blank\">The Night Before Christmas</a>:”</p>\n<blockquote><p>\nA bundle of blocks he had flung on his back,<br />\nAnd he looked like a coder just opening his pack.</p>\n<p>His eyes—how they twinkled! his dimples, how merry!<br />\n“Who needs MCE, when we have blocks and so many?”</p></blockquote>\n<p>Many reviewers find Gutenberg to be “unnecessarily complex” for actions that were previously easy to perform in the editor.</p>\n<p>“I have several websites – two are for business and include blogs (technical posts, how-tos, etc),” @quantaweb <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/please-make-it-a-plugin-not-part-of-core/\" target=\"_blank\">said</a>. “I’m also the editor of a literary magazine. This doesn’t work for any of these sites. It’s not easier to write blogs with it, and it does nothing to ease the work of importing critical essays and poetry into the literary magazine — and formatting them — either…Gutenberg is unnecessarily complex.”</p>\n<p>Some of the 1-star reviews come laced with threats to move to another CMS and splinter the WordPress community if Gutenberg is included in core.</p>\n<p>“By removing all the traditional editor buttons and trying to make a minimalist design the usefulness and ease of use has been drastically reduced,” @ovann86 <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-example-of-why-developers-are-not-ux-experts/\" target=\"_blank\">said</a>. “I found myself either not being able to do very basic content management or having to click, hover and look for the buttons – instead of them being visible and available immediately…If this was made core I would likely be forced to move to another CMS.”</p>\n<p>Early testing of beta software is not for everyone, as many are unable to look past the initial bugs and clunky implementations to see the potential of the editor to improve WordPress’ severely fragmented content creation experience. Matt Mullenweg jumped onto the forums as recently as two weeks ago to <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-ready-for-prime-time-14/#post-9316327\" target=\"_blank\">respond to testers’ feedback</a>.</p>\n<p>“We definitely agree it’s not ready for prime time yet, that’s why we’re doing extensive public testing and iteration while it’s in the plugin phase,” Mullenweg said. “Thank you for your feedback and I hope you try it again in a few months with an open mind.”</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, 31 Jul 2017 23:26:18

at WordCamp Europe I had the opportunity to meet Russian designer and developer <a href=\"https://dmtrmrv.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Dmitry Mayorov</a>, whose themes I had noticed earlier in the year in the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/themes/author/iamdmitrymayorov/\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress Theme Directory</a>. Mayorov’s design style is reminiscent of other niche theme developers like Anders Norén and Mike McAlister. He launched his own commercial themes business on <a href=\"https://themepatio.com/\" target=\"_blank\">ThemePatio.com</a> two years ago and his free <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/themes/counter/\" target=\"_blank\">Counter</a> and <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/themes/maker/\" target=\"_blank\">Maker</a> themes collectively have more than 3,000 active installs on WordPress.org.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/counter.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/maker.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Mayorov started taking part in meetups in Russia in 2013. Following WordCamp Moscow 2015, Konstantin Kovshenin asked him if he would take on the role of lead organizer. Mayorov is organizing <a href=\"https://2017.moscow.wordcamp.org/\" target=\"_blank\">WordCamp Moscow 2017</a>, which is scheduled for August 12. In our interview below, he describes a few of the challenges organizers face in uniting the Russian WordPress community that is spread out over such a large land mass.</p>\n<p>Mayorov also discusses how he began creating WordPress themes and how clients’ needs influenced his <a href=\"https://themepatio.com/about/\" target=\"_blank\">theme development philosophy</a>. He aspires to create themes that are fast, content-focused, and minimalistic, without the bloat of hundreds of font options and pre-built site layouts. Mayorov also gave us his predictions for the future of the theme industry.</p>\n<p>“I think it’s going to go two directions at the same time,” Mayorov said. “I think that page builders and multi-purpose themes wont go anywhere but I also think that niche themes are here to stay as well. Not everybody is looking for a page builder.</p>\n<p>“I see the tendency that at first when people get introduced to WordPress they discover theme marketplaces. They think, ‘Ok this is the top seller, I’m going to go with this theme.’ For some people it works, and there’s nothing wrong with that, because sometimes you have challenges where you need to create a website like yesterday…Once they see that there is another way, they start to research other theme developers and shops, realizing that there are simple themes that work faster and are easier to use, and that you don’t need to spend two hours trying to create the homepage. They will use those themes as well. These are the themes I’m trying to build.”</p>\n<p></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, 28 Jul 2017 19:57:36 +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:81:\"WPTavern: Customize Snapshots 0.6.0 Adds the Ability to Name and Merge Changesets\";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=73700\";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/customize-snapshots-0-6-0-adds-the-ability-to-name-and-merge-changesets\";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:5032:\"<a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/snapshots.jpg?ssl=1\"><img /></a>photo credit: <a href=\"https://stocksnap.io/photo/T80PGTWXHZ\">Freestocks.org</a>\n<p>Contributors to the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/customize-snapshots/\" target=\"_blank\">Customize Snapshots</a> feature plugin are steadily building a UI for managing Customizer changesets using the changesets infrastructure added in WordPress 4.7. <a href=\"https://make.xwp.co/2017/07/27/customize-snapshots-0-6-release/\" target=\"_blank\">Version 0.6.0</a> of the plugin was released this month with an expanded interface for managing the complexities of multi-user editing in the Customizer.</p>\n<p>The previous version of Customize Snapshots already supported scheduling but this release introduces a new multi-select save button that allows users to publish, save draft, save as pending, or schedule changes.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/customize-snapshots-multi-select-button.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>Version 0.6.0 adds the ability to name changesets, which is especially helpful for site owners who are sorting and previewing changes submitted by multiple editors. The list of changesets has links for previewing on the frontend, editing in the Customizer, or inspecting the changeset’s content on the edit post screen.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/saved-changesets.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>This release introduces the ability to merge multiple changesets into a single changeset, which users can then preview and publish all at once.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/merge-changesets.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>Contributors have not yet worked out how this feature will handle conflicting changes submitted by multiple users. It currently accepts whatever change was made more recently, but this isn’t ideal in certain situations. <a href=\"https://github.com/xwp/wp-customize-snapshots/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20is%3Aopen%20conflict\" target=\"_blank\">Conflict resolution</a> is on the team’s radar to address in future iterations of the plugin and they are discussing several different approaches.</p>\n<p>“Merging changesets would definitely lie in the realm of a power user feature,” Customize component co-maintainer Weston Ruter said. “It would probably not be proposed for core. Nevertheless, the existence of the feature is a demonstration of the kinds of things that can be possible when working with changesets.”</p>\n<p>In addition to co-leading WordPress’ Customizer team, Ruter is also the CTO at XWP, where several of the agency’s clients are actively using the Customize Snapshots plugin. News Corp Australia and Beachbody are two companies that have invested in the plugin’s development and are successfully using it at scale on their network of sites.</p>\n<p>“When paired with the Customize Posts plugin, it gets really powerful because you can edit multiple posts and pages, along with any of their postmeta, while also editing widgets, nav menus, and any other settings, and all of these changes are all bundled together in a single changeset,” Ruter said. “This changeset can then be previewed on the frontend, including by sharing the URL with an unauthenticated user (like a 3rd party who can’t even access the Customizer), and they can click around the site with all of the customizations applied as if they had been published.”</p>\n<p>Ruter said the Customizer team isn’t currently targeting a WordPress release for getting these new UI additions added to core but rather view the progress as “prototypes for what could be merged into core, bit by bit.” He identified several tickets that the plugin provides prototype interfaces for:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/28721\" target=\"_blank\">#28721</a>: Scheduled changes for the customizer</li>\n<li><a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/31089\" target=\"_blank\">#31089</a>: Add revisions and statuses for changesets</li>\n<li><a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/21666\" target=\"_blank\">#21666</a>: Customizer reset/undo/revert</li>\n<li><a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/39896\" target=\"_blank\">#39896</a>: Customizer: Allow users to Draft changes before Publishing</li>\n</ul>\n<p>“Core development is still very much focused on the editor — Gutenberg — so the far-reaching Customizer changes are not being emphasized yet,” Ruter said. Meanwhile progress continues on the Customize Snapshots plugin, which was completely rewritten for the 0.6.0 release after most of its infrastructure was merged into WordPress 4.7. Ruter’s team is not sure which features will eventually land in core, but the various Customizer feature plugins give users an idea of the power of the changesets infrastructure that is already included in WordPress.</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, 27 Jul 2017 22:58:04 +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: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:83:\"WPTavern: .blog Passes 100,000 Registrations, 66.5% of Purchased Domains are in Use\";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=73673\";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/blog-passes-100000-registrations-66-5-of-purchased-domains-are-in-use\";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:5297:\"<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/blog.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>The .blog domain extension, managed by Automattic subsidiary Knock Knock WHOIS There (KKWT), opened registration to the public in November 2016 and has just <a href=\"https://my.blog/2017/07/26/100000-blogs/\" target=\"_blank\">passed the 100,000 registration milestone</a>. The extension is averaging 300 new .blog domains registered per day and is quickly gaining popularity among new generic TLDs. According to the most recent stats available at nTLDStats, <a href=\"https://ntldstats.com/tld/blog\" target=\"_blank\">.blog registrations</a> have climbed steadily and predictably every month since its public launch.</p>\n<a href=\"https://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/blog-registrations.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a>.blog registrations according to ntldstats.com\n<p>Automattic, which operates independently from KKWT as a registrar, currently has the largest market share of .blog domain registrars at 62.8%. Other smaller pieces of the pie continue to see increasing numbers of registrations. </p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/registrar-market-share-blog.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>“When a .blog domain is sold through any .blog registrar, it operates like all other top-level domains (TLDs),” .blog representative Erica Varlese said. “This means that the registry, in this case Knock Knock WHOIS There, receives the wholesale cost, ICANN receives their fees, and the registrar retains the rest.”</p>\n<p>The .blog team has started experimenting with different marketing programs to promote the extension among registrars and launched its first campaigns last month.</p>\n<p>“These programs are available to any .blog accredited registrar and, through participation, allows them to provide .blog domains to their customers at a discounted rate,” Varlese said. “It is designed to test price elasticity and various end-user marketing techniques that best fit each registrars’ unique customer-base.”</p>\n<p>Registration for .blog domains is fully integrated into WordPress.com’s domain offerings, but Varlese said that Knock Knock WHOIS There, as a separate company, is not informed of the specific details of their domain roadmap. The subsidiary also does not track how many of the .blog domains are running WordPress, as the extension is platform agnostic and in use across many different blogging services. </p>\n<p>So far .blog domain customers include both individuals and businesses, including some e-commerce and community sites. Varlese said the main benefit to acquiring a .blog domain is that customers are more likely to get and use a name they always wanted (example.blog), versus settling for a more complicated variation, such as blog.example.com.</p>\n<p>“Using a blog domain is also a great way to embrace engagement with your community,” Varlese said. “In addition to individual and personal bloggers, we also see larger brands using blogs to engage with their customers. Visiting <a href=\"http://stackoverflow.blog\" target=\"_blank\">stackoverflow.blog</a>, for example, is intuitive. The domain lets me know right away what type of content and interaction to expect versus what my expectations would be when prompted to visit stackoverflow.com. Both are equally important and both add value to the customer’s online experience.”</p>\n<p>Many people purchase a domain just to sit on it for the right time to use it or sell. Greater usage of .blog domains promotes visibility on the web, which is why registrars place value on how many have launched websites using the extension. </p>\n<p>“Our goal is steady, long-term growth while continuing to increase our usage rates,” Varlese said. “We want every .blog domain to resolve to a unique content site or blog. Usage is an important metric for us. It positively contributes to help the new TLD marketplace thrive and grow organically. It is at the forefront of every decision we make, including marketing and rebate programs for our registrars, as well as our dotblogger program, which gives online influencers easy access to all .blog domains, including premium and reserved domains.”</p>\n<p>The .blog team’s 100,000 registrations milestone post cites usage stats from Pandalytics, a domains data service, that are not publicly available. </p>\n<p>“66.5% of .blog domains have a unique website associated with them, compared to an average of 39.3% for both new and legacy TLDs, according to recent research by Daniel Ruzzini-Mejia (co-founder and CSO of DomainsBot Srl, the company behind big-data analysis platform Pandalytics),” Varlese said. “Ruzzini-Mejia also found more than 250 .blog domains that use an eCommerce platform.” </p>\n<p>This is an interesting find in an era where many have claimed that blogs are dead. If the indie web proponents have their way, blogs may have another renaissance yet, and could become the anchors of commerce and identity online. The healthy usage numbers the .blog extension has posted in its first year are a strong indicator that the concept of blogging still holds an important place on the web. </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, 27 Jul 2017 18:09:04 +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:49;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:64:\"WPTavern: Adobe to Discontinue Flash Support and Updates in 2020\";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=73654\";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:75:\"https://wptavern.com/adobe-to-discontinue-flash-support-and-updates-in-2020\";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:3530:\"<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/adobe-flash.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>Adobe <a href=\"https://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2017/07/adobe-flash-update.html\" target=\"_blank\">announced</a> today that it will discontinue Flash support and updates at the end of 2020. Flash played an important part in the history of the web, inspiring many of the open standards and formats that the web has moved on to embrace.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Given this progress, and in collaboration with several of our technology partners – including Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Mozilla – Adobe is planning to end-of-life Flash. Specifically, we will stop updating and distributing the Flash Player at the end of 2020 and encourage content creators to migrate any existing Flash content to these new open formats.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Last year most major browsers moved to block Flash, requiring users to enable it manually for sites where they wish to view Flash content. Microsoft, Google, and Mozilla were on deck today with announcements of their own regarding future Flash support. Firefox is the most aggressive with its <a href=\"https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2017/07/25/firefox-roadmap-flash-end-life/\" target=\"_blank\">plan to disable Flash for most users in 2019</a>. Only those running an Extended Support Release will be able to continue using it through the end of 2020 and no version of Firefox will load the plugin after Adobe discontinues security patches.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.blog.google/products/chrome/saying-goodbye-flash-chrome/\" target=\"_blank\">Chrome is also phasing out support for Flash</a> and plans to remove it completely from the browser toward the end of 2020.</p>\n<p>“Three years ago, 80 percent of desktop Chrome users visited a site with Flash each day,” Google Chrome Product Manager Anthony Laforge said. “Today usage is only 17 percent and continues to decline.</p>\n<p>“This trend reveals that sites are migrating to open web technologies, which are faster and more power-efficient than Flash. They’re also more secure, so you can be safer while shopping, banking, or reading sensitive documents.”</p>\n<p>The Microsoft Edge team also <a href=\"https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2017/07/25/flash-on-windows-timeline/#QKXFIeE23ZSoZLlh.97\" target=\"_blank\">announced</a> its plans to phase out Flash from both Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer with complete removal from all supported versions of Microsoft Windows by the end of 2020.</p>\n<p>Although <a href=\"http://blog.kongregate.com/html5-is-here/\" target=\"_blank\">HTML5 adoption is growing among game developers</a>, Adobe’s announcement means major changes for segments of the the gaming, education, and video industries that have not yet migrated to newer, open formats. This news will also make obsolete dozens of WordPress <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/flash/\" target=\"_blank\">plugins that were created to upload and display Flash content</a>.</p>\n<p>Adobe’s announcement was met with thanks and “good riddance,” with many calling for an even speedier timeline. Many are also concerned about all the orphaned content and .swf games on the web that Flash’s disappearance will create. Adobe has received many requests on Twitter for the company to consider open sourcing the old Flash Player codebase for the sake of compatibility and archiving content. Adobe has not officially replied to any of these requests.</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, 26 Jul 2017 04:01:41

Most people start with an About page that introduces them to potential site visitors. It might say something like this:\n\n<blockquote>Hi there! I\'m a bike messenger by day, aspiring actor by night, and this is my website. I live in Los Angeles, have a great dog named Jack, and I like piña coladas. (And gettin\' caught in the rain.)</blockquote>\n\n...or something like this:\n\n<blockquote>The XYZ Doohickey Company was founded in 1971, and has been providing quality doohickeys to the public ever since. Located in Gotham City, XYZ employs over 2,000 people and does all kinds of awesome things for the Gotham community.</blockquote>\n\nAs a new WordPress user, you should go to <a href=\"http://daviddelk.net/band/wp-admin/\">your dashboard</a> to delete this page and create new pages for your content.
