Just as JavaScript is a near necessity for smoother user experiences and more modern PHP versions are critical for performance, SSL just makes sense as the next hurdle our users are going to face.</p>\n<p>SSL basically means the link between your browser and the server is encrypted. SSL used to be difficult to implement, and often expensive or slow. Modern browsers, and the incredible success of projects like <a href=\"https://letsencrypt.org/\">Let&#8217;s Encrypt</a> have made getting a certificate to secure your site fast, free, and something we think every host should support by default, especially in a post-Snowden era. Google also weighs <a href=\"https://security.googleblog.com/2014/08/https-as-ranking-signal_6.html\">SSL as a search engine ranking factor</a> and will begin <a href=\"http://motherboard.vice.com/read/google-will-soon-shame-all-websites-that-are-unencrypted-chrome-https\">flagging unencrypted sites in Chrome</a>.</p>\n<p>First, early in 2017, we will only promote hosting partners that provide a SSL certificate by default in their accounts. Later we will begin to assess which features, such as API authentication, would benefit the most from SSL and make them only enabled when SSL is there.</p>\n<p>Separately, I also think the performance improvements in PHP7 are particularly impressive, and major kudos to everyone who worked on that. We will consider whether hosts use PHP7 by default for new accounts next year as well.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</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:\"4588\";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: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:31:\"WordPress 4.7 Release Candidate\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:67:\"https://wordpress.org/news/2016/11/wordpress-4-7-release-candidate/\";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, 24 Nov 2016 04:26:23 +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=4579\";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:328:\"The release candidate for WordPress 4.7 is now available.

Highlights include a <a href=\"http://2017.wordpress.net/\">new default theme</a>, video headers, custom CSS, customizer edit shortcuts, PDF thumbnail previews, user admin languages, REST API content endpoints, post type templates, and more.</p>\n<p>We’ve made <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/log/trunk/src?action=stop_on_copy&amp;mode=stop_on_copy&amp;rev=39353&amp;stop_rev=39263&amp;limit=200&amp;verbose=on&amp;sfp_email=&amp;sfph_mail=\">quite a few refinements</a> since releasing Beta 4 a week ago, including usability and accessibility enhancements for video headers, media and page template support in starter content, and polishing of how custom CSS can be migrated to and extended by plugins and themes. The REST API endpoints saw a number of bugfixes and notably now have anonymous comment off by default.</p>\n<p>Not sure where to start with testing?

The answer is not easy as it should be. WordPress&#8217; profile image system is powered by <a href=\"http://gravatar.com/\">Gravatar</a>, an Automattic owned service. It replaced the old method of uploading a profile picture in <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2008/03/wordpress-25-brecker/\">WordPress 2.5 &#8220;Brecker&#8221;</a>.</p>\n<p>The longer I maintain the site, the <a href=\"https://twitter.com/jeffr0/status/837833604218617856\">more frustrated I get</a> that Gravatar is the default way users create and manage their profile image. In the past, I&#8217;ve written how <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/managing-gravatars-in-wordpress-is-a-jarring-user-experience\">managing Gravatars in WordPress</a> is a bad user experience and not much has changed. Many of the people requesting support simply want an Upload button or link that enables them to upload an image and use it as their avatar.</p>\n<p>One way to replace Gravatar is with the<a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user-avatars/\"> WP User Avatars</a> plugin developed by <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/johnjamesjacoby/\">John James Jacoby</a>. WP User Avatars is part of the <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/stuttter/\">Stutter collection</a> of plugins that replaces Gravatar and adds the ability for registered users to upload an image from their machine. Alternatively, users can click the Choose from Media button to choose an image from the Media Library. Existing profile images are preserved.</p>\n<img />WP User Avatar Interface\n<p>I tested the plugin on WordPress 4.7.3 and didn&#8217;t encounter any issues. It&#8217;s worth noting that according to the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user-avatars/faq/\">plugin&#8217;s FAQ</a>, it doesn&#8217;t work well with multisite.</p>\n<p>There has recently been some discussion on a<a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16020\"> six-year-old trac ticket</a> requesting upload functionality for custom avatars. Some have even suggested that <a class=\"ext-link\" href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-local-avatars/\">Simple Local Avatars</a>, <a class=\"ext-link\" href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user-avatar/\">WP User Avatar</a> or <a class=\"ext-link\" href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-local-avatar/\">Add Local Avatar</a> could be merged into core to provide the functionality. All three plugins combined are active on nearly 300K sites.</p>\n<p>The site I administer is the first I&#8217;ve managed in my WordPress career that has open registration. Interacting with registered users who are often new to WordPress has opened my eyes to how bad of an experience configuring an avatar is. Relying on a third-party service as core functionality to manage profile images doesn&#8217;t make any sense.</p>\n<p>Let us know what your experience is like configuring an avatar in WordPress. If you use a plugin that adds local avatar support, share a link to it in the comments.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";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, 06 Mar 2017 22:35:24 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:1;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:92:\"WPTavern: BuddyPress Core Contributors Working on a Way to Safely Edit a Group’s Permalink\";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=66940\";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:100:\"https://wptavern.com/buddypress-core-contributors-working-on-a-way-to-safely-edit-a-groups-permalink\";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:3656:\"<p>This past weekend while managing a site that runs BuddyPress, I ran into a situation where I needed to change a group&#8217;s slug or permalink. Editing the permalink for a post or page in WordPress is easy but BuddyPress doesn&#8217;t have the same functionality. As you can see in the screenshot below, an edit button to change a group&#8217;s permalink doesn&#8217;t exist.</p>\n<img />No Way to Edit a Group&#8217;s Permalink\n<p>Changing the permalink of a post in WordPress automatically creates a redirect so the previous URL doesn&#8217;t generate a 404 error. BuddyPress doesn&#8217;t offer the same convenience. According to John James Jacoby, BuddyPress lead developer, groups do not have a canonical redirection, or keep track of their slug history.</p>\n<p>In my scenario, I had two choices. I could either change the slug and break a number of links or delete the group and recreate it with the slug of my choice. Since the group already has more than 300 members and a handful of posts, I chose the first option.</p>\n<p>After a cursory search of Google on how to change a group&#8217;s slug, I came across many results that referenced the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-edit-group-slug/\">BP Edit Group Slug</a> plugin created by Jacoby that had not been updated in seven years. As recently as two months ago, a <a href=\"https://buddypress.org/support/topic/changing-the-groups-slug-2/#post-262550\">thread on the BuddyPress support forums</a> confirmed that the plugin was broken and generated a lot of errors.</p>\n<p>After speaking to Jacoby on Slack and linking him to the forum thread, he graciously spent two hours of his time to update the plugin. I can confirm that it works as advertised with BuddyPress 2.8.1. To change a group&#8217;s slug after activation the plugin, visit the Group&#8217;s management page on the front-end of the site.</p>\n<img />Editing a Group&#8217;s Slug\n<p>Eight years ago, <a href=\"https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/281\">a ticket was created</a> on BuddyPress trac requesting the ability to change a Group&#8217;s slug. The ticket was eventually closed and labeled wontfix by <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/boonebgorges/\">Boone Gorges</a>, BuddyPress lead developer, &#8220;Adding it as a core feature is likely to introduce lots of problems, because changed group slugs break all existing links to the content,&#8221; Gorges said. &#8220;We don&#8217;t have a graceful fallback system for changed permalinks, like WP posts do. For now, let&#8217;s leave this to a plugin. If we ever overhaul groups to have a different storage mechanism, we can revisit.&#8221;</p>\n<p>In the BuddyPress Slack channel, David Cavins offered the following idea on how the feature could work, &#8220;We could probably add a step after the lookup fails that looks in another place, like <code>group_meta</code> for key = <code>previous_slug</code> and value = <code>slug that missed a group</code>,&#8221; he said. Both Gorges and Jacoby approved the idea and encouraged Cavins to work on it for BuddyPress core.</p>\n<p>Until the feature is added to core, perhaps a note could be added to the BuddyPress group creation screen for step three that emphasizes how important it is to make sure the permalink is correct.</p>\n<img />BuddyPress Group Creation Step Three\n<p>I was willing to sacrifice broken links in order to have the correct slug for my Group but it&#8217;s a lesson I learned the hard way. I&#8217;m hopeful that others don&#8217;t make the same mistake and that BuddyPress one day has a graceful fallback system for tracking permalink changes.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";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, 06 Mar 2017 22:16:07 +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:\"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:2;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:\"WPTavern: Initial Customizer Survey Results Reveal Majority of Respondents Don’t Use It\";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=66809\";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:97:\"https://wptavern.com/initial-customizer-survey-results-reveal-majority-of-respondents-dont-use-it\";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:5605:\"<p>In January 2017, WordPress core design contributors posted a survey titled <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/design/2017/01/27/what-are-you-using-the-customizer-for/\" target=\"_blank\">What are you using the Customizer for?</a> The link was published on the Make WordPress Design blog and wasn&#8217;t widely shared, so it only received 50 replies. Responses were anonymous, but most seem to have come from the WordPress developer community.</p>\n<p>Despite the small sample number, the design team deemed the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/design/2017/03/01/customizer-survey-results/\" target=\"_blank\">initial results</a> important enough to share with the community. Responses on the first question show that 53% never or rarely use the Customizer and 7.8% tend to only use it when setting up a site for the first time. Those who do use it (39.3%) range in frequency from monthly, weekly, and daily.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/customizer-survey-results-1.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>More than half of respondents (53.6%) do not add plugins to extend the Customizer. Those who do are adding plugins for theme options (12.5%), colors (5.4%), layout (7.1%), and other (21.4%). The majority of respondents indicated they use themes that add new functionality to the Customizer (53.9%) and those specified include colors, layout, typography, theme options, and design features.</p>\n<p>When asked if is there anything in the Customizer they cannot live without, 53.2% of respondents said no. This isn&#8217;t surprising given that most of them seem to be developers who are likely familiar with adding custom CSS or making edits to a child theme. Only 6.4% said they could not live without live previews. When asked if there was anything in the Customizer they never use, 31.3% of respondents said &#8220;Everything,&#8221; 20.8% said &#8220;No,&#8221; and the others identified specific features.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/customizer-survey-results-2.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>The negative comments on the questions are a general indicator of the lingering dissatisfaction with the Customizer. For those who use the feature regularly, one strong theme in their comments is that the separation between what settings are available in the Customizer versus the backend is confusing:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Setting up theme styling, redesigning, setting up sites, etc. Very useful for quick changes like a new header image to change up the look. Wish you could edit everything there instead of going elsewhere to edit content too.</p></blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>I don’t like it and wish that I didn’t have to use it. Most often if there is a setting I had to use the customizer for, I will either forget that something was set in the customizer and end up hunting around for it for a long time before remembering that’s where it was. More often than not the “preview” functionality doesn’t work and you have to save the settings anyway. Also there doesn’t seem to be any consistent logic as to what features should be in the customizer, and theme authors just put whatever they feel like putting in there.</p></blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>What would be great, it is to incorporate more settings in the Customizer in order to avoid the back and forth to set up the site (date format, title, tagline, posts per page, …).</p></blockquote>\n<p>Many users don&#8217;t understand the separation between content and presentation and don&#8217;t approach the Customizer with this mindset. Therefore, the Customizer&#8217;s omissions create a disjointed experience for users who are new to WordPress.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Absolutely! Most of my clients complain about the footer and why is it so difficult to modify something so basic as this sentence: “Proudly powered by WordPress”… It is really nonsense having so many options in customizer and still having to create a child theme only to be able to edit the standard footer sentence… That doesn’t make any sense, really!”</p></blockquote>\n<p>These kinds of frustrations are likely to continue until the Customizer can unify the content and theme editing experience. Currently, the bulk of content editing happens in the admin, but Customizer contributors are working towards adding <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/customize-posts-plugin-and-selective-refresh-are-paving-the-way-for-front-end-editing-powered-by-the-customizer\" target=\"_blank\">frontend editing powered by the Customizer</a>.</p>\n<p>It is difficult to know how to place this data, since the survey didn&#8217;t ask for any information about the respondents&#8217; WordPress background. However, the large number of negative responses underscore the importance of having the Customizer as one of the three focuses for WordPress core development in 2017.</p>\n<p>Customizer component co-maintainer Weston Ruter said he&#8217;s &#8220;not really surprised&#8221; by the negative feedback in the survey, as there are lots of passionate opinions about the Customizer.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Everyone should agree that the Customizer isn&#8217;t a finished product, but the answer to that is to make it a focus and make it the live preview interface that WP needs, not rip it out,&#8221; Ruter said. &#8220;And that focus is what 2017 includes.&#8221;</p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http://13233232.polldaddy.com/s/what-are-you-using-customizer-for\" target=\"_blank\">survey is still open</a>, if you want to contribute more data for the design team to consider.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";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, 06 Mar 2017 19:06:58 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"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:3;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:58:\"Dev Blog: WordPress 4.7.3 Security and Maintenance 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:34:\"https://wordpress.org/news/?p=4696\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:84:\"https://wordpress.org/news/2017/03/wordpress-4-7-3-security-and-maintenance-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:6090:\"<p>WordPress 4.7.3 is now available.

This seems like an auspicious time to look back at what we&#8217;ve built.</p>\n<p>Since the first one I&#8217;ve only missed maybe 2 weeks. One essay has been taken down for security reasons. Only once has anyone really stood me up, and only four times or so has anyone asked for more time at the last second. In those times someone always stepped up.</p>\n<p>A goal of mine has always been diversity, across a number of vectors. I did pretty poorly in the first few months and ended up with diversity debt. Here are some stats as of the 100th post:</p>\n<table border=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Men</th>\n<th>Women</th>\n<th>Americans</th>\n<th>Non-Americans</th>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>55</td>\n<td>44</td>\n<td>34</td>\n<td>66</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p>That said, if you look at the last 50, the numbers look much more diverse:</p>\n<table border=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Men</th>\n<th>Women</th>\n<th>Americans</th>\n<th>Non-Americans</th>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>22</td>\n<td>26</td>\n<td>16</td>\n<td>34</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p>I have the next 8 contributors planned out, and they continue to enhance the diversity of HeroPress.</p>\n<h3>Sponsorship</h3>\n<p>Last June XWP started sponsoring HeroPress. As I&#8217;ve mentioned many times before, I&#8217;m wary of mixing money with HeroPress, because I never want to make money from the stories of these people I admire and respect so much. That said, the sponsorship makes it easier for me to spend the time away from my family working on HeroPress. Some wise people have told me that using money appropriately won&#8217;t lose me any real friends, so there we are.</p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in talking to me about sponsorship, just send me an email, topher at this domain.</p>\n<h3>The Future</h3>\n<p>I don&#8217;t have any plans for changing the way essays work. I have people lined up through the end of April. I&#8217;ve recently found some new ways to find WordPressers in places I couldn&#8217;t access before, and I&#8217;m excited about the new places we&#8217;re going to hear about.</p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been talking for months about doing a podcast. It would simply be me and someone far away from me talking about how they work and live. I hesitate to talk to Americans, because I already know how they live and work, but on the other hand, people outside America might be interested. We&#8217;ll see what happens after some research.</p>\n<p>I have some ideas about scholarships and software accessibility programs, but I&#8217;m still putting those together. I&#8217;ve recently been contacted by another organization that wants to work together on a scholarship, and that sounds exciting.  Again, we&#8217;ll see what happens.</p>\n<h3>Thanks</h3>\n<p>I&#8217;d like to thanks everyone that&#8217;s been involved in making HeroPress great.  At this point there are too many to name.

For years, most conversations on the web have happened in the form of comments. Annotations are different in that they usually reference specific parts of a document and add context. They are often critical or explanatory in nature.</p>\n<p>One of the key differences between comments and web annotations, according to the new standard, is that annotations were designed to be decentralized, creating &#8220;a new layer of interactivity and linking on top of the Web.&#8221; Comments are published by the publisher at the same location as the original content, but web annotation content is owned by the reader. Annotations don&#8217;t have to be published on the original content. The reader has the choice to publish using an &#8220;annotation service&#8221; or their own website.</p>\n<p>Doug Schepers, former Developer Relations Lead at W3C, described the difference between annotating and commenting on an <a href=\"http://thewebahead.net/60\" target=\"_blank\">episode on The Web Ahead podcast</a>:</p>\n<blockquote><p>When a comment is at the bottom of a page, it&#8217;s so abstracted out from the rest. They get off track, they start talking about other things that have nothing to do with the original article. If it&#8217;s an even vaguely political topic, you&#8217;ve got the partisans jumping in, yelling at one another, how they&#8217;re all idiots. You lose track with the content of the article. There&#8217;s this viscerality, this immediacy, of actually commenting on something in its context.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Do people want to annotate the web? Popular implementations of this concept, such as <a href=\"https://genius.com/web-annotator\" target=\"_blank\">Genius Web Annotator</a> and Medium&#8217;s annotation-style commenting, show that people enjoy interacting on the web in this way. The W3C Web Annotation Working Group&#8217;s goal in standardizing the technology behind web annotations was to produce a set of specifications for &#8220;interoperable, sharable, distributed Web Annotation architecture,&#8221; enabling healthy competition between services and discouraging publisher lock-in.</p>\n<p>Decentralization is critical to unlocking the full potential of annotations on the web. If commenters have control of their own content, they have the freedom to publish it wherever they like. Open comments sections can sometimes offer the illusion of discourse, but are ultimately under the control of the publisher. This is obvious if you&#8217;ve ever seen a controversial blog post, which should undoubtedly have comments with varying viewpoints, but the only comments published are those in agreement with the author.</p>\n<p>&#8220;This notion that whoever controls the original source also controls the dialog &#8211; that&#8217;s dangerous,&#8221; Schepers said. &#8220;This is why I like the idea of annotations. It&#8217;s inherent in the idea of annotations, this indie web aspect of, &#8216;I want to control what I say, what channels it goes out to.&#8217; I can&#8217;t control who puts it into a different channel but I can control what channels I try to put it out into. I can actively publish in multiple channels.&#8221;</p>\n<h3>Hypothesis Plugin Brings Web Annotations to WordPress</h3>\n<p><a href=\"https://hypothes.is\" target=\"_blank\">Hypothesis</a> is a non-profit organization that is building an open platform for annotation on the web, based on the <a href=\"http://annotatorjs.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Annotator.js</a> library. It allows readers to highlight text and select whether they want to annotate it or highlight it.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/hypothesis-annotations.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>The Hypothes.is community has an ecosystem of <a href=\"https://hypothes.is/tools-plug-ins-and-integrations/\" target=\"_blank\">tools and integrations</a> for various technologies and publishing platforms, including WordPress. The <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/hypothesis/\" target=\"_blank\">Hypothesis plugin on WordPress.org</a> offers the same functionality that you see on the Hypothesis website with the ability to select text and have a sidebar slide out for taking notes. Annotation requires an account with Hypothesis. You can test it by pasting any link into the tool on the <a href=\"https://hypothes.is/\" target=\"_blank\">Hypothesis</a> homepage.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/annotating.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>The mission of the Hypothesis project is &#8220;to bring a new layer to the web&#8221; that enables conversations on top of the world&#8217;s collected knowledge. The project also allows you to publish annotations privately, creating your own personal notebook of observations as you surf the web.</p>\n<p>The Hypothesis plugin allows users to customize the defaults and behavior and control where it&#8217;s loaded (front page, blog page, posts, pages, etc.) Highlights can be on or off by default and the sidebar can be collapsed or open. Annotations can also be enabled on PDFs in the Media Library. Hypotheses can be allowed/disallowed on a list of specific posts or pages, which is helpful for sites where the author may only want annotation on scholarly material.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://github.com/kshaffer/hypothesis_aggregator\" target=\"_blank\">Hypothesis Aggregator</a> is another plugin for WordPress that offers a shortcode with different parameters for displaying annotations from the service. It allows site owners to display a collection of annotations from a certain user or topic.</p>\n<p><code>[hypothesis user = \'kris.shaffer\']</p>\n<p>[hypothesis tags = \'IndieWeb\']</p>\n<p>[hypothesis text = \"Domain of One\'s Own\"]</p>\n<p>[hypothesis user = \'kris.shaffer\' tags = \'IndieEdTech\']</code></p>\n<p>The output includes a link to the original content, the highlighted text, the annotation, and the person who curated it.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/hypothesis-aggregator.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>Kris Shaffer, the plugin&#8217;s author, is considering adding support for multiple tags (in both AND and OR configurations) as well as the ability to embed a single annotation in a post, like users can with a tweet.</p>\n<p>The Hypothesis network of annotators is growing, along with the vast collection of knowledge that is getting linked and added every day. The service just completed a record month with nearly 6,000 annotators contributing content.</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A record month <a href=\"https://twitter.com/hypothes_is\">@hypothes_is</a> in February: almost 6K active annotators made 112,385 <a href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/annotations?src=hash\">#annotations</a>.

The Hypothesis community tools are quite frequently used in the context of scholarly or academic dialogue, but the app aims to bring annotation to all types of websites, including news, blogs, scientific articles, books, terms of service, ballot initiatives, legislation, and more.</p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jTctBbX_kw\" target=\"_blank\">presentation</a> at the Personal Democracy Forum in 2013, Dan Whaley, founder and CEO of Hypothesis, described the organization&#8217;s motivation behind annotating all of the web&#8217;s collective knowledge:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Think back 1,000 years, reflect on the key documents produced over that time, like the Magna Carta in 1215 or the Declaration of Independence, for which we only have the document itself. What we&#8217;re missing are the notes passed between co-authors in the drafting, the reviews by others providing feedback on early versions. We lack the perception by the public immediately after and most of the fine-grained citations, quotations, and reuse in the intervening years. Those incessant arguments about why the founding fathers chose this or that particular phrasing &#8211; what if we had a much better idea, the direct record of their internal deliberations? There&#8217;s no shortage of things to annotate, and there&#8217;s more knowledge being created per minute now than ever before &#8211; laws, scientific articles, news, books, tweets, data &#8230;but our tools are crude, balkanized, ill-preserved, and even then only available on a small minority of what&#8217;s important.</p></blockquote>\n<p>The idea of web annotations is to capture the surrounding conversation that doesn&#8217;t necessarily fit into traditional comments, preserving it in a way that is open, sharable, and cooperates nicely with other technologies using the web&#8217;s standard.</p>\n<h3>What Does the W3C Standard Mean for the Future of Annotations?</h3>\n<p>Web annotation seems to promote more critical thinking and collaboration but it&#8217;s doubtful that it would ever fully replace commenting systems. The two serve different purposes and it&#8217;s more likely that annotations will serve to supplement conversations on the web. Not everyone is fond of the current implementations of annotation UI, which require visitors to keep clicking on things as they are reading.</p>\n<p>Despite being first being introduced to the web in the Mosaic browser prototype in 1993, annotation tools are still in their infancy. In a <a href=\"https://genius.com/Marc-andreessen-why-andreessen-horowitz-is-investing-in-rap-genius-annotated\" target=\"_blank\">post</a> announcing Andreessen Horowitz&#8217;s $15 million investment in Rap Genius, Marc Andreesen describes how the technology was almost built into the first web browser:</p>\n<p>&#8220;Only a handful of people know that the big missing feature from the web browser – the feature that was supposed to be in from the start but didn&#8217;t make it – is the ability to annotate any page on the Internet with commentary and additional information.&#8221;</p>\n<p>The implementation was pulled not too long after, because they didn&#8217;t have the capabilities required to host all the annotations and have it scale. For the past 24 years, various companies and organizations have taken a stab at bringing this feature back to the web &#8211; all with varying approaches that don&#8217;t necessarily play well together. That&#8217;s why the W3C standard is an important development.</p>\n<p>&#8220;While Hypothesis and others are already enabling annotation to take place over any page on the Web, a standard means that there is additional incentive for browser vendors to include this functionality natively,&#8221; Dan Whaley <a href=\"https://hypothes.is/blog/annotation-is-now-a-web-standard/\" target=\"_blank\">said</a>. &#8220;The more that these new collaborative layers are present without any additional action on the part of the user, the more their use will grow.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Whaley also said the new W3C standard should send a strong signal to those who have developed proprietary annotation implementations, such as Genius, Readcube, Medium, and Amazon (Kindle).</p>\n<p>&#8220;These technical recommendations have the weight of the web community behind them and can be relied upon,&#8221; Whaley said. &#8220;Our hope is that the standard will not only encourage others to adopt its technical approach, but also ultimately to open their platforms.&#8221;</p>\n<p>In an ideal world, Doug Schepers sees annotation as a feature that is &#8220;baked straight into the web,&#8221; where all users can choose where their content is published. Annotation services would then offer the ability for users to choose which syndicators and aggregators the content is going out to. Publishers in turn would have the ability to consume annotation content and bring it back through their commenting system if they feel it adds value.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We can refine things over time,&#8221; Schepers said. &#8220;We can improve our culture over time. It sounds kind of lofty and maybe sort of abstract, but I think that&#8217;s what annotations can help us do. It can actually increase the growth of ideas and not the suppression of ideas. It can improve how we create our culture in a more conscious way, in a way that includes more critical thinking.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Schepers said it&#8217;s too soon to know how the future will unfold for web annotations and whether or not browsers will be interested in supporting them natively. Annotations may be relegated to live in script libraries forever if they don&#8217;t catch on with browsers. Like any new layer of interaction on the web, it&#8217;s worth building to see how the initial idea evolves based on where the users take it.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s going to happen with annotations,&#8221; Schepers said. &#8220;That&#8217;s what I&#8217;m excited by. I can think of all sorts of things that might happen with annotations if we truly enable this, but I&#8217;m more looking forward to the things that I didn&#8217;t see coming at all.&#8221;</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";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, 03 Mar 2017 23:02:35 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:7;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:63:\"WPTavern: WPCampus 2017 to Take Place July 14-15 in Buffalo, NY\";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=66607\";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:73:\"https://wptavern.com/wpcampus-2017-to-take-place-july-14-15-in-buffalo-ny\";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:6398:\"<img />WPCampus Date\n<p><span class=\"st\">After the inaugural </span> WPCampus concluded <a href=\"https://2016.wpcampus.org/\">in 2016</a>, organizers <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wpcampus-is-accepting-applications-to-host-the-event-in-2017\">put out a call</a> for campuses across the country to host the event in 2017.

A brand new community planning a brand new event with very minimal people &#8216;on the ground&#8217; was challenging but, clearly, not impossible.</p>\n<p>Most of the changes we’ve implemented have been on how to make the time we spend planning more efficient, especially since we are an entirely volunteer-driven organization spread out all over the world.</p>\n<p>Overall, our first event was a success but there’s always little notes you take away for the next go round, like &#8216;make sure we take the group photo BEFORE everyone leaves&#8217; and highlighted at the top of the list: &#8216;make sure we have candy again.&#8217;</p>\n<p>Ultimately, our main priority is to ensure attendees aren’t worrying about the &#8216;where&#8217;, &#8216;what&#8217;, and &#8216;how&#8217; so they can instead focus on learning, networking, and making the most out of our short time together. This means taking notice of how we can improve communication, signage, etc.</p>\n<p>&#8216;The secret of all victory lies in the organization of the non-obvious&#8217; could not be more true. The biggest question we asked ourselves after WPCampus 2016 was &#8216;how can we create more opportunities for diverse interaction and discussion?&#8217;</p>\n<p>Our planning team has some great ideas and we’re excited to experiment a little, to see how a conference might be able to drive development outside the usual sessions and lightning talks. We’re really excited for what’s in store for our next event.</p>\n<p><strong>Will there be another WordPress in higher education survey?</strong></p>\n<p>I hope so! If not, it won’t be for lack of desire. Last <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wpcampus-survey-results-indicate-misconceptions-of-wordpress-are-slowing-its-growth-in-higher-education\">year’s survey</a> offered an incredible amount of insight and data into how WordPress is being used in higher education. It would be great to see what has changed. Stay tuned!</p>\n<p><strong>Why was Canisius College chosen for the event?</strong></p>\n<p>We had some amazing universities apply and invite us all to their campus. An honor for which we are most grateful and appreciative. As was the case with WPCampus 2016, it was really hard to pick just one but ultimately, it comes down to what we believe is best overall for our attendees.</p>\n<p>We even have a grading matrix because, of course we do, we’re in higher education. Canisius College is a beautiful campus in a great location, especially since a majority of the WPCampus community is located in the eastern U.S. and Canada.</p>\n<p>The team at Canisius has also been extremely supportive and is working hard to make sure we have a great time in their top-notch facilities.

Upon further reflection, it’s clear that the broken system is ad-driven media on the internet.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Williams said that Medium will be taking &#8220;a different, bolder approach&#8221; to this problem of driving payment for quality content but that &#8220;it is too soon to say exactly what this will look like.&#8221; Medium may be <a href=\"https://twitter.com/rrhoover/status/827340315681923072\" target=\"_blank\">experimenting with paid subscriptions</a> in the future, but the company has yet to articulate its next strategy for monetization.</p>\n<h3>WordPress.com Now Offers an Importer Tool for Medium</h3>\n<p>Publishers that don&#8217;t want to stick around for Medium&#8217;s next round of experimentation can now easily migrate to WordPress. Automattic <a href=\"https://en.blog.wordpress.com/2017/03/02/import-your-medium-posts-to-wordpress-com/\" target=\"_blank\">announced</a> a new Medium importer for WordPress.com today and the company also plans to make it available to self-hosted WordPress sites through Jetpack.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/wordpressdotcom-medium-importer.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>Medium users can export content to a zip file and then upload it into WordPress.com&#8217;s import tool. The import includes posts, tags, images, and videos and takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. Previously, Medium sites could be imported into WordPress using an RSS importer plugin, but there were significant drawbacks to this approach. WordPress.com&#8217;s importer tool takes this into account.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Using the provided RSS file from Medium&#8217;s export archive was not sufficient, because some of the post data, like embeds, is missing,&#8221; Automattic developer Marko Andrijašević said. &#8220;Because of that, we are combining the data available in RSS and exported HTML files to accurately reproduce the post&#8217;s content.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Medium hasn&#8217;t made it easy for publishers to leave with their full content and has changed the format of its exports multiple times in the past. Andrijašević said this is one of the reasons it took WordPress.com so long to add an importer, along with the fact that the provided data in the exported archive was not sufficient to import everything correctly.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We’ll have Jetpack support coming soon for self-hosted sites,&#8221; Andrijašević said. &#8220;One other workaround for self-hosted site owners would be to use the Medium importer on WordPress.com, and then generate a WXR (WordPress eXtended RSS) file with our exporter. The WXR can then be used with WordPress importer on any self-hosted site.&#8221;</p>\n<p>In addition to its uncertain future and unsightly permalinks, Medium gives users plenty of other reasons to be wary of the platform. <a href=\"https://www.buzzfeed.com/charliewarzel/when-you-launch-your-publication-the-same-day-medium-changes\" target=\"_blank\">Publishers were not notified in advance</a> about the company&#8217;s &#8220;renewed focus&#8221; and its plan to abandon the advertising model. Medium&#8217;s product is its users&#8217; content and the company&#8217;s <a href=\"https://medium.com/policy/medium-terms-of-service-9db0094a1e0f#.c309bw63n\" target=\"_blank\">terms of service</a> state that it can use that content to promote its own products and services, enable advertising, and &#8220;remove any content you post for any reason.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Part of the appeal of Medium is that it removes the burden of site management. Publishers are now expected to navigate things like AMP, FB Instant Articles, social networks, and SEO to drive traffic to their websites. With Medium, publishers are trading site ownership for convenience. If the company is not able to find a workable way to monetize users&#8217; content, it has a very real chance of joining the hundreds of <a href=\"https://indieweb.org/site-deaths\" target=\"_blank\">blogging silos that have died</a> or been bought by a competitor simply to be shut down and have their technology reabsorbed.</p>\n<p>Medium&#8217;s publishing experience is entirely geared towards making the company successful by monetizing the efforts of publishers on its network. In a post titled <a href=\"http://practicaltypography.com/billionaires-typewriter.html\" target=\"_blank\">The Billionaire&#8217;s Typewriter</a>, Matthew Butterick writes about how the platform&#8217;s limitations on features and customization are designed to &#8220;let Medium extract value from the talent and labor of others.&#8221; He describes digital sharecropping in its shiniest form:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Because in return for that snazzy design, Medium needs you to relinquish control of how your work gets to readers.</p>\n<p>Tempting perhaps. But where does it lead? I fear that writers who limit themselves to providing “content” for someone else’s “branded platform” are going to end up with as much leverage as cows on a dairy farm.</p>\n<p>Medium is a new kind of typewriter—the billionaire’s typewriter. It’s not the only billionaire’s typewriter. So is the Kindle. So is iBooks. So is Twitter. <strong>What distinguishes these new typewriters is not the possibilities they make available to writers, but what they take away.</strong></p></blockquote>\n<p>Publishers who want to determine the trajectory and reach of their own work need to migrate to a more stable platform where they have full control of their content. It&#8217;s not yet clear how Medium plans to monetize in the future, but the company will undoubtedly continue reaping the economic rewards of its publishers&#8217; work. Whether you choose open source software or some other avenue, it&#8217;s worth leaving Medium&#8217;s grand experiment in order to own your own work.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 02 Mar 2017 22:10:11 +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: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: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:63:\"WPTavern: WPWeekly Episode 265 – Interview with Matt Medeiros\";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=66822&preview=true&preview_id=66822\";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/wpweekly-episode-265-interview-with-matt-medeiros\";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:3596:\"<p>In this episode, <a href=\"http://marcuscouch.com/\">Marcus Couch</a> and I are joined by <a href=\"http://craftedbymatt.com/\">Matt Medeiros</a>, co-founder of <a href=\"http://slocumstudio.com/\">Slocum Studio</a>.

This plugin provides full reports and displays a running graph of your rankings and statistics over time.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/private-uploads/\">Private Uploads</a> protects sensitive uploaded files so that only logged-in users can access them. This plugin moves your designated private files to a separate folder and configures the web server to ask WordPress to authenticate access to files in that folder. It&#8217;s more efficient than similar plugins because it only rubs when serving files in the private folders.</p>\n<h2>WPWeekly Meta:</h2>\n<p><strong>Next Episode:</strong> Wednesday, March 8th 3:00 P.M.

I lost my job and I was desperately in need of a career change. Because of the economic climate in Zimbabwe, I didn&#8217;t see many options, but I felt that IT held the most promising future.</p>\n<p>So I completed an A+ course and obtained a CCNA certification. Unfortunately, in Zimbabwe, skills and certifications were not enough to secure meaningful employment. Being a college drop-out, I didn&#8217;t have the required diploma or degree that employers were looking for.</p>\n<p>That&#8217;s when I enrolled in a diploma in management of information systems. In this course, there was a module called “Programming and Web Design”. I was introduced to HTML, CSS and Javascript, among other programming languages. But it was only an introduction… it wasn&#8217;t enough to be able to create my own website.</p>\n<p>After graduating, I studied online tutorials and learned how to create a website. That was the beginning of my personal website, franksweb.org, a static HTML website that I created from scratch.</p>\n<p>Not long after that, I was hired by an an online design and marketing firm that was looking for a web developer. To my surprise, I found that they only used content management systems (CMS) to create websites. No one was making static HTML websites!</p>\n<p>Joomla! was the preferred CMS at this company. It wasn&#8217;t until I was assigned to create a website for a local recording artist that I discovered WordPress. I was searching for templates that suited the client&#8217;s needs and discovered a template that just happened to be WordPress!</p>\n<p>I had heard of WordPress, even though they didn&#8217;t teach us about content management systems in my diploma course. All I knew was that WordPress was a free blogging service.</p>\n<blockquote><p>I had no idea how much more was possible using WordPress.</p></blockquote>\n<p>I soon discovered the numerous advantages of using WordPress over Joomla! (There&#8217;s a reason why 27% of the web uses WordPress, whereas Joomla! is used by only 3%!) Soon after, I re-designed franksweb.org using WordPress. So began my love affair with WordPress.</p>\n<h3>Freelancing</h3>\n<p>After having worked for my employer for a little over one and a half years, receiving a very small salary, the time came for me to move on. My employer had been failing to pay our salaries and owed me a lot of money in back pay (which has never been paid to me to this day). So I had no choice but to leave and I started freelancing.</p>\n<p>Since I started freelancing, all the websites I&#8217;ve created for my clients (except for one) have been WordPress sites. WordPress has empowered me to make a living from creating functional websites that are easy to manage for my clients.</p>\n<p>Here in Zimbabwe, very few web designers and web developers create static HTML websites. The majority use content management systems, and for good reason. Of course, the overwhelming majority are WordPress sites. This is just a testament to how WordPress makes our jobs easier and the potential to make money using WordPress.</p>\n<h3>The WordPress Community</h3>\n<p>One thing that we were taught in my diploma course was the importance of continuous professional development (CPD). That, and the fact that I had a genuine passion for all things WordPress, led me to soak up anything WordPress-related that I could get my hands on. I watched a lot of Morten Rand-Hendriksen&#8217;s tutorials on lynda.com to advance my skills. The WordPress.org website became a permanent tab on my desktop whenever you opened my web browser (my “WordPress Bible”). I also made sure the “WordPress News” box was always open in all my Dashboards so I could keep up with the latest in WordPress.</p>\n<p>One day I saw a <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/\" target=\"_blank\">WPTavern</a> article in my Dashboard calling for applications to participate in the first WordCamp incubator program. I was very interested since Zimbabwe had never had a WordCamp before. I didn’t know of anyone else in Harare who had the same desire but I applied anyway.</p>\n<p>More than a hundred cities applied so I honestly wasn’t expecting my application to be chosen, especially because of the challenges that my country is facing.</p>\n<blockquote><p>I was shocked when I got an email from Rocio Valdivia and Hugh Lashbrooke saying they wanted to interview me for the incubator program.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Later on, I received an email from Andrea Middleton saying my application to be a WordCamp organizer had been accepted! This was a very exciting time for me. It was now going to be possible to experience the things I had read about the WordPress Community here in Zimbabwe, too.</p>\n<a href=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/meetup_at_CSZ-min.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-large wp-image-1627\" src=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/meetup_at_CSZ-min-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"First meetup at the Computer Society of Zimbabwe, August 20, 2016\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" /></a>First meetup at the Computer Society of Zimbabwe, August 20, 2016\n<p>The first thing that I needed to do was start a monthly WordPress meetup group in Harare because there was no regular meetup that I was aware of, and therefore no real WordPress Community. It was a struggle but thanks to the guidance and support of WordCamp Central, and the support of the <a href=\"http://www.csz.org.zw/\" target=\"_blank\">Computer Society of Zimbabwe</a>, we were able to have meetups and the membership grew.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Months later, we hosted the very first WordCamp in Zimbabwe: WordCamp Harare 2016.</p></blockquote>\n<p>It was a success and much better than I thought it would be. Along with our monthly meetups, WordCamp did a lot to promote awareness of the WordPress Community. Since then, quite a number of local WordPress users have become active in the WordPress Community. I absolutely love hosting meetups and sharing knowledge about something which I am passionate about.</p>\n<a href=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/wordcamp_at_harare_city_library-min.jpg\"><img class=\"size-large wp-image-1628\" src=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/wordcamp_at_harare_city_library-min-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"First WordCamp Harare at Harare City Library\" width=\"960\" height=\"636\" /></a>First WordCamp Harare at Harare City Library\n<p>On a personal level, working with the WordPress Community opened up a world that I didn&#8217;t know existed within WordPress. I got to know so many amazing people and everyone has been helpful and kind. The WordPress Community is made up of people who are generous and willing to give their time and share knowledge with others. For me, it is very fulfilling to be able to give back to something which I have benefited from so much.</p>\n<p>One of the highlights of WordCamp for me was meeting Job Thomas and Herman Kok, two of our speakers who came from South Africa. They both work for <a href=\"https://automattic.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Automattic</a>, the company that owns WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Jetpack and other WordPress-related products. (Before I became active in the WordPress Community, I had no idea Automattic had an office in South Africa!) Talking to them, I got a strong sense that they were passionate, not only about what they do, but about sharing their knowledge and experience with others.</p>\n<p>I was encouraged and inspired to apply to work for Automattic. The position that I wish to apply for is called “Happiness Engineer”. Basically, your job is customer support. For me, this is a dream job: getting paid to do something that I have a passion for which is share my knowledge of WordPress with others. They say that if you find something that you love to do, you&#8217;ll never work another day in your life. So currently, I spend time helping other users in Automattic product forums in order to gain more direct experience before I apply.</p>\n<p>This past year has been an awesome journey for me. If it wasn&#8217;t for WordPress, I would never have experienced being part of an open-source community and the doors that have opened for me. There are so many awesome people that I never would have gotten to know. WordPress truly changed my life.</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 Opened Up a Whole New World\" class=\"rtsocial-twitter-button\" href=\"https://twitter.com/share?text=WordPress%20Opened%20Up%20a%20Whole%20New%20World&via=heropress&url=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fwordpress-opened-whole-new-world%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 Opened Up a Whole New World\" class=\"rtsocial-fb-button rtsocial-fb-like-light\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fwordpress-opened-whole-new-world%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-opened-whole-new-world%2F&title=WordPress+Opened+Up+a+Whole+New+World\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share: WordPress Opened Up a Whole New World\"></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-opened-whole-new-world/&media=https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/030117-150x150.jpg&description=WordPress Opened Up a Whole New World\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pin: WordPress Opened Up a Whole New World\"></a></div></div><a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"perma-link\" href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/wordpress-opened-whole-new-world/\" title=\"WordPress Opened Up a Whole New World\"></a></div><p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/wordpress-opened-whole-new-world/\">WordPress Opened Up a Whole New World</a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://heropress.com\">HeroPress</a>.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 01 Mar 2017 12:00:53 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:12:\"Thabo Tswana\";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:91:\"WPTavern: HackerOne Launches Free Community Edition for Non-Commercial Open Source Projects\";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=66592\";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:102:\"https://wptavern.com/hackerone-launches-free-community-edition-for-non-commercial-open-source-projects\";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:5076:\"<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/hackerone-logo.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.hackerone.com\" target=\"_blank\">HackerOne</a>, the vulnerability coordination and bug bounty platform, has launched a new <a href=\"https://www.hackerone.com/product/community\" target=\"_blank\">Community Edition</a> for open source projects. The company is built around the notion that, &#8220;given enough eyeballs, all vulnerabilities are shallow.&#8221; HackerOne announced a <a href=\"https://www.hackerone.com/blog/The-best-security-initiative-you-can-take-in-2017\" target=\"_blank\">$40 million round of funding</a> earlier this month, which allows the company to expand its market and add new features to the platform.</p>\n<p>Open source projects are one area where HackerOne is expanding its reach. The company participates in the <a href=\"https://internetbugbounty.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Internet Bug Bounty</a> program, which helps secure core internet infrastructure and open source software, but HackerOne is now opening up its own platform.</p>\n<p>&#8220;One of the goals I have had in my work with HackerOne is to build an even closer bridge between HackerOne and the open source community,&#8221; community strategy consultant Jono Bacon said. Bacon <a href=\"http://www.jonobacon.org/2017/02/09/hackerone-professional-free-open-source-projects/\" target=\"_blank\">announced</a> the availability of HackerOne&#8217;s new <a href=\"https://www.hackerone.com/product/community\" target=\"_blank\">Community Edition</a>, which has not yet been formally announced but is already open for applicants.</p>\n<p>The Community Edition has all the same features as HackerOne&#8217;s Professional Edition, including vulnerability submission/coordination, duplicate detection, hacker reputation, analytics, and more. The only difference is that it doesn&#8217;t include paid customer support and program assistance. It also integrates with many popular issue tracking tools, such as JIRA, GitHub, Bugzilla, Zendesk, Track, and others.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/hackerone-community-edition.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>Although the name &#8220;Community Edition&#8221; might suggest to some that it is self-hosted, HackerOne actually provides it as a SaaS offering with no setup or deployment required.</p>\n<p>Open source projects are eligible if they meet a few requirements:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Must be open source projects covered by an <a href=\"https://opensource.org/licenses\" target=\"_blank\">OSI license</a></li>\n<li>Be active and at least 3 months old (age is defined by shipped releases/code contributions)</li>\n<li>Include a SECURITY.md in the project root that provides details for how to submit vulnerabilities (<a href=\"https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/SECURITY.md\" target=\"_blank\">example</a>)</li>\n<li>Display a link to your HackerOne profile from either the primary or secondary navigation on the project&#8217;s website</li>\n<li>Maintain an initial response to new reports of less than a week</li>\n</ul>\n<p>WordPress doesn&#8217;t have its own listing in the HackerOne directory but <a href=\"https://hackerone.com/automattic\" target=\"_blank\">Automattic&#8217;s page</a> says the company also welcomes reports for WordPress, BuddyPress, and bbPress. Automattic has had 446 bugs resolved through its program on HackerOne, which it has maintained for the past three years. A handful of other WordPress-related projects are also listed in the directory, including the <a href=\"https://hackerone.com/wordpoints\" target=\"_blank\">WordPoints</a> plugin, <a href=\"https://hackerone.com/iandunn-projects\" target=\"_blank\">Ian Dunn&#8217;s projects</a>, and <a href=\"https://hackerone.com/flox\" target=\"_blank\">Flox</a>.</p>\n<p>Having a crowd-sourced security program in place is becoming more critical, as breeches are costing companies billions of dollars every year. The World Economic Forum&#8217;s <a href=\"http://www3.weforum.org/docs/GRR/WEF_GRR16.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">2016 Global Risks Report</a> estimated that &#8220;crimes in cyberspace cost the global economy an estimated $445 billion.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Not all organizations listed on HackerOne offer bug bounties, but bounties are a proven method of attracting security talent. Since HackerOne launched, its customers have resolved more than 37,000 vulnerabilities and have paid out more than $13 million in bug bounties. By the end of 2016, HackerOne&#8217;s community of hackers had grown to nearly 100,000.</p>\n<p>The new <a href=\"https://www.hackerone.com/product/community\" target=\"_blank\">Community Edition</a> gives smaller open source projects and organizations exposure to HackerOne&#8217;s network of thousands of security researchers and the tools for managing communication about vulnerabilities. Projects applying for the Community Edition must be non-commercial and able to run an effective security program. Applications are usually answered within one business week.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 01 Mar 2017 04:56:16 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:14;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:57:\"WPTavern: Freemius Launches Insights for WordPress Themes\";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=66740\";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://wptavern.com/freemius-launches-insights-for-wordpress-themes\";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:8722:\"<p>Freemius Insights <a href=\"https://freemius.com/blog/freemius-insights-wordpress-themes/\">has announced</a> that its <a href=\"https://freemius.com/\">analytics service</a> that was previously <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/freemius-insights-enables-plugin-developers-to-make-data-driven-decisions\">only available to WordPress plugins</a> is now available for themes. The company was founded in 2015 by <a href=\"https://twitter.com/vovafeldman\">Vova Feldman</a> and his team after discovering how much information is not available to developers who host plugins and themes on the official WordPress directories and marketplaces.</p>\n<img />Freemius Insights for Themes\n<p>Freemius Insights for themes gives developers an opportunity to collect a large variety of data, including, email addresses, PHP, plugin, WordPress version distribution, and more. When a user installs a theme that uses Freemius, an opt-in prompt is displayed that notifies them that data will be sent to Freemius.com to help improve the product. Selecting Skip prevents data from reaching Freemius.com.</p>\n<img />Freemius Opt-in Prompt\n<p>Feldman says that he and his team have worked closely with the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/themes/\">WordPress Theme Review Team</a> to ensure that Freemius Insights does not violate the theme directory <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/review/required/\">requirements.</a> One of the most informative features that Freemius Insights provides is the ability for users to provide feedback if they decide to switch to a different theme.</p>\n<p>When a user switches away from a product using Freemius, a prompt is shown with randomly displayed questions asking for feedback. These responses are saved and can be viewed at a later time in the Freemius dashboard. If a user switches themes because it doesn&#8217;t have a specific feature and it&#8217;s added at some point, a developer can go back and notify them that the feature exists.</p>\n<h2>Data Collection Leads to Description, Settings, and Documentation Improvements for FooBox</h2>\n<p>Adam Warner, Co-founder of <a href=\"https://fooplugins.com\">FooPlugins.com</a>, added Freemius Insights to <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/foobox-image-lightbox/\">FooBox</a>, an image lightbox plugin after noticing that other plugins were collecting opt-in usage data. His team realized they needed the data but didn&#8217;t have the resources to build a custom solution in a reasonable amount of time.</p>\n<p>Warner shares what he discovered with the data collected by Freemius. &#8220;Install, uninstall, deactivation, and feedback data is some of the most important data we&#8217;ve obtained,&#8221; he responded.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Not long after we discovered that of those who deactivated the plugin, the two top reasons were &#8216;expected something else&#8217; and &#8216;didn&#8217;t understand how it works.&#8217; That is valuable insight that we might not have had otherwise and allowed us to revamp our plugin description on .org and in the plugin settings.&#8221;</p>\n<p>One of the main reasons for collecting data is to improve the product. Based on the data collected, improvements to FooBox were geared towards documentation and the plugin&#8217;s settings pages, &#8220;After learning from the insights that Freemius provided us, we wrote longer explanations of various settings and what they do, as well as putting in links to documentation and video walkthroughs,&#8221; he said.</p>\n<h2>Freemius Usage Data Ramps Up Priority for NextGEN Gallery Wizard</h2>\n<p>NextGEN Gallery is Freemius&#8217; most popular plugin tracked so I asked Erick Danzer, Founder and CEO of Imagely, makers of NextGEN Gallery, what his team has learned and if any improvements are a direct result of the data collected.</p>\n<p>Since adding Freemius to NextGEN Gallery, the opt-in form has been exposed to about 200K new users. Out of these, 37.5% or 75K users have opted to submit data.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve learned that 21% of users deactivate or uninstall the plugin entirely,&#8221; Danzer said. &#8220;Conversely, that means we have about a 79% retention rate. It&#8217;s hard to know how that compares to the WordPress ecosystem as a whole, but our sense is that retention rate is not bad (even if we&#8217;d like it to be better). I&#8217;d love to see comparative data across other plugins at some point.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Of those who uninstall the plugin, 20% which is the largest share, do so because they don&#8217;t understand how it works, &#8220;This wasn&#8217;t a surprise. We know that NextGEN Gallery is powerful and thus overwhelming to some users,&#8221; Danzer said. &#8220;But this is the first time we&#8217;ve been able to put actual numbers on that behavior.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Some of the biggest improvements to NextGEN Gallery that are a result of the data that&#8217;s been collected deal with the user interface. &#8220;We now know that 21% of users uninstall and that the biggest reason is too much complexity getting started,&#8221; Danzer said. &#8220;That tells us that if we want to improve our retention rate, we need to make it easier to start.&#8221;</p>\n<p>&#8220;To that end, we&#8217;ve done two things. First, we just released a start-up Gallery Wizard late last fall that walks new users through the process of setting up their first gallery. Second, we&#8217;re about 70% done with an overhaul of the interface to simplify the presentation of options. These are both things we probably would have done anyways, but we upped their priority based on Freemius data.&#8221;</p>\n<h2>Data From Freemius Insights Points to a Common Dead-end With Plugins</h2>\n<p>For more than a year, Freemius Insights has been collecting mountains of data for plugins. Feldman was gracious enough to supply the Tavern with some interesting data. There are more than 750 developers registered to the site and more than 400K users have opted-in to usage tracking. <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/nextgen-gallery/\">NextGEN Gallery</a> is the service&#8217;s most popular tracked plugin active on more than 1.5M sites.</p>\n<p>Out of the plugins tracked, there have been 114K feedback responses on why users deactivated a plugin. The top five reasons plugins were deactivated are:</p>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<li>23% Expected something else / didn&#8217;t work as expected</li>\n<li>21% Didn&#8217;t understand how it works</li>\n<li>20% No longer needed</li>\n<li>13% Found a better alternative</li>\n<li>6% Didn’t work</li>\n</ul>\n</ul>\n<p>The most interesting aspect of this data is the second most popular reason why users deactivate a plugin. When users activate a plugin, many don&#8217;t know what the next step is. It could be searching for a link to the settings page or not doing anything at all. Most of the time, users have no idea because the plugin doesn&#8217;t tell them.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/\">WooCommerce</a> is a good example of a plugin that bucks this trend with an <a href=\"https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-onboarding-wizard/\">onboarding wizard</a> that when completed, puts users in a place where they can immediately start selling products.</p>\n<img />WooCommerce Onboarding Wizard\n<p>Not every plugin is as complex as WooCommerce and doesn&#8217;t need a onboarding wizard. For these use cases, developers might consider using <a href=\"https://code.tutsplus.com/articles/integrating-with-wordpress-ui-admin-pointers--wp-26853\">Admin Pointers</a>, a feature that was added in WordPress 3.3. With Admin Pointers you can inform users about a new feature or provide further instructions after a plugin is activated.</p>\n<p>Insights for Themes is free for non-commercial themes however, only two weeks of historical aggregated metrics and the 100 most recent user emails will be collected. In exchange for aggregating the data, Freemius asks that a symbolic attribution that &#8216;freemius&#8217; is a contributor be added to the theme&#8217;s readme.txt file. No email exports or webhooks are included with the free plan.</p>\n<p>Freemius is an example of a service that is filling a huge void of nonexistent data from WordPress.org for plugin and theme authors. A void that <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/solving-the-mystery-of-how-people-actually-use-wordpress\">doesn&#8217;t appear likely</a> to be filled anytime soon. As noted above, the data that is collected, especially direct feedback from users, has surfaced issues that may not have otherwise been discovered.</p>\n<p>If you use Freemius Insights in your plugins or themes, please tell us about your experience and what you&#8217;ve learned from the collected data.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";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, 28 Feb 2017 22:43:48 +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:\"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: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:85:\"WPTavern: Amazon S3 Outage Hits WordPress Businesses, Disrupting Services and Support\";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=66751\";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:94:\"https://wptavern.com/amazon-s3-outage-hits-wordpress-businesses-disrupting-service-and-support\";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:5853:\"<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Amazon_Web_Services_logo_AWS.jpg?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>Amazon is currently experiencing &#8220;high error rates with S3 in US-EAST-1,&#8221; causing a massive outage for sites, apps, and services across the web.

However, not directly related to this, we’re already looking at ditching S3. That&#8217;s because our new hosting setup at SiteGround combined with CDN from MaxCDN actually negates the need for S3 entirely.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Other companies that have AWS integrated into their support services experienced more disruption due to customers not being able to receive help.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Obviously our website is hosted using AWS technology through Pagely,&#8221; <a href=\"http://wpninjas.com/\" target=\"_blank\">WP Ninjas</a> co-founder James Laws said. &#8220;I’m not sure how they’ve been affected directly, but we have noticed intermittent downtime. Perhaps the biggest impact is that our support service is built on AWS and with it down we are completely unable to provide any support to our users.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Laws said the company has had fairly decent uptime with AWS in the past and that the idea of switching services because of an outage would not be worth the effort.</p>\n<p>&#8220;The truth is that 100% uptime is more a fantasy than anything,&#8221; Laws said. &#8220;The idea of having to move a website or change a support system temporarily or even permanently for a short period of downtime would be pretty daunting. You probably could create contingency plans for something like this, but the technical and administrative costs are not generally worth it in my opinion.&#8221;</p>\n<p>The outage serves as a painful reminder of how dependent the web is on cloud storage providers and how few services have a backup plan for instances like these.</p>\n<p>At 12:52 PM PST Amazon released an update, promising improvements for customers within the hour: &#8220;We are seeing recovery for S3 object retrievals, listing and deletions.

There are many small bug fixes and improvements but the one I&#8217;m most excited about is moving the legacy cache files into the supercache directory.</p>\n<p>The legacy cache files were the files created by the old WP-Cache plugin upon which this plugin is based. They&#8217;re really useful as they store the headers sent from the server as well as the page contents. If you&#8217;re serving pages that aren&#8217;t regular html, such as JSON or XML you don&#8217;t want to tell the browser they&#8217;re text/html documents. This caching method is also used for anyone who is logged into your site, or left a comment.<br />\nThere is a problem however. They&#8217;re stored in one directory. If you have many thousands of visitors interacting with your site you may end up with a directory containing thousands of files. The names of the cache files are a hash of the URL, gzip support and browser cookies so one file can match one user, or one file can be used by thousands of anonymous users. In the event that someone left a comment on a popular post the plugin has to search through all those files looking for the pages cached for other users who were also looking at that page. On a busy server that can cause problems.</p>\n<p>So, in <a href=\"https://github.com/Automattic/wp-super-cache/pull/177\">#177</a> I added code that moves the legacy cache files into the supercache directory. That means the files are stored in directories that reflect the URL of the page that was served which makes it very easy to delete the cached files belonging to that page as they&#8217;re all in the same directory!</p>\n<p>The new code will look in the old location for legacy files first as some sites will have a large collection of cached files, but any new cache files will be created in the supercache directory.</p>\n<p>Ian Dunn <a href=\"https://github.com/Automattic/wp-super-cache/pull/121\">submitted code</a> to cache the REST API. It&#8217;s not yet complete but we&#8217;ll be able to build on the changes to the legacy cache to make caching the API more efficient than it would have been before.</p>\n<p>I really need people to help test this. The latest code is running on this site so I&#8217;m very confident in how well it works but just because it works on my odd little server doesn&#8217;t mean it will work right everywhere.

Version 2.1.79 is patched and was released four days ago. Those who use NextGEN basic tagcloud gallery or allow visitors to submit posts to be reviewed by contributors are especially at risk.</p>\n<p>&#8220;This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated user to grab data from the victim’s website database, including sensitive user information,&#8221; Mihajloski said.</p>\n<p>&#8220;This issue existed because NextGEN Gallery allowed improperly sanitized user input in a WordPress prepared SQL query, which is basically the same as adding user input inside a raw SQL query. Using this attack vector, an attacker could leak hashed passwords and WordPress secret keys, in certain configurations.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Although 2.1.79 patches the vulnerability, the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/nextgen-gallery/changelog/\">plugin&#8217;s changelog</a> doesn&#8217;t indicate a critical security issue was fixed.

After 25 years of maintaining the Linux kernal, Torvalds has developed a network of trust that enables the project to iterate quickly with its 2.5 month release cycle.</p>\n<p>The current pace of Linux development sees 10K lines of code added, 8K lines subtracted, and 1800 lines modified every single day. Torvalds described how Linux contributors learned to modularize the code and development model so they can accomplish more in parallel, while working independently. He used to read through all the patches but quickly found himself becoming a bottleneck to progress. Ensuring code quality on the project is no longer about micromanaging all the patches but about finding the people Torvalds can trust.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We have a very strong network and that&#8217;s why we can have 1,000 people involved in every release,&#8221; Torvalds said. &#8220;There&#8217;s this whole human potential there that we use very extensively to make sure the process works. And it&#8217;s taken 25 years to get to where we are on a process level, too.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Torvalds described how the project revolves around individual contributors building a trusted reputation with maintainers and how one moves from casual contributor status to become part of the network of trust.</p>\n<p>&#8220;When people move between companies, the trust does not stay with the company,&#8221; Torvalds said. &#8220;The trust stays with the person. Obviously people do not stay around forever. People come and go. One of the reasons people sometimes think it&#8217;s hard to get into the kernel, is because you think you can just come in and shoot off a patch and go away, but that&#8217;s not how it works. What really takes time is to shoot off a lot of small patches until you reach the point where the maintainers trust you and at that point you have become something more than the guy who sends patches. You&#8217;ve become part of the whole network of trust.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Increasing levels of trust among contributors allows maintainers to oversee a rapid pace of development. Ten years ago, when Torvalds wanted to move an 8-week release schedule, he said everyone knew he was pushing for something unrealistically short. They have been cranking out releases every 2.5 months since then and Torvalds said it &#8220;solved so many things we didn&#8217;t even know needed to be solved.&#8221; Linux maintainers found their way to a successful development model by experimenting until it clicked.</p>\n<p>&#8220;If you want to do something new, something that is really pushing the envelope, nobody can really say &#8216;This is the way to do it,\'&#8221; Torvalds said. &#8220;What you need to do is a lot of trial and error. I often compare software development to biological processes where really it is evolution. It is not intelligent design. I&#8217;m there in the middle of the thing and I can tell you, it is absolutely not intelligent design. You have a lot of people with ideas of where things need to go and then you need to have a marketplace where you can try them out. And that&#8217;s what open source allows &#8211; all these different groups to go off, do their own thing, and then come back and say I did this, and it actually worked.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Zemlin asked him if he ever experienced an &#8220;a-ha moment&#8221; where he realized that Linux was much bigger than what he thought he started. Torvalds said that although a couple of moments have taken him by surprise, the biggest moment was six months after releasing it when it went past being a personal project. He suddenly didn&#8217;t even know the people sending him patches. Twenty five years later, it&#8217;s the people doing the work who still inspire him.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m a huge believer in the 99% perspiration, 1% inspiration thing,&#8221; Torvalds said. &#8220;The innovation that this industry talks about so much is bullshit. Anybody can innovate. Don&#8217;t do this big, &#8216;Think different&#8217; innovation thing. Screw that; it&#8217;s meaningless. 99% of it is &#8216;Get the work done.&#8217; That&#8217;s my least favorite part of the technology news cycle: the constant innovation and new ideas, &#8216;<em>This will revolutionize</em>,&#8217; all that hype &#8211; that&#8217;s not where the real work is. The real work is in the details.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Not all open source projects could be successful with the same model and leadership that Torvalds has brought to Linux development, but the kernel is arguably one of the most active and successful GPL-licensed projects. Zemlin noted that nearly 900 organizations participate in all the different Linux Foundation programs, creating code in almost every aspect of computing from mobile phones to cars to home appliances. It wouldn&#8217;t be possible without Torvalds&#8217; laser focus on continuing the work he started.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m obviously one of those people who likes to concentrate on one project,&#8221; Torvalds said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t like flitting from one idea to another. You need the people who just flutter about and come up with ideas, but they&#8217;re not the really useful ones. They end up being the ones who maybe give the ideas to the ones doing the work. What anybody should take away from this talk &#8211; the people who actually do the work are the ones you should really listen to. These days I don&#8217;t actually do the work anymore &#8211; I merge other people&#8217;s work. But I would like conferences, too, to be less about the visionary innovation thing and more about the day-to-day what are my problems and how do I want to solve them.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Check out the video below to watch the full session with Linus Torvalds and Jim Zemlin:</p>\n<div class=\"embed-wrap\"></div>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";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, 27 Feb 2017 20:15:24 +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:19;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:84:\"WPTavern: Learn How to Find and Exploit XSS Vulnerabilities with Google’s XSS Game\";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=66571\";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/learn-how-to-find-and-exploit-xss-vulnerabilities-with-googles-xss-game\";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:3105:\"<p>In 2016, Acunetix, a UK-based security firm, found that <a href=\"http://www.acunetix.com/blog/articles/33-websites-webapps-vulnerable-xss/\" target=\"_blank\">33% of websites and web apps are vulnerable to XSS</a>. This number is down 5% from the company&#8217;s findings for the previous year, but it&#8217;s still one of the most common vulnerabilities. In fact, every WordPress security release for the past year has included patches for <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting\" target=\"_blank\">cross-site scripting</a> (XSS) vulnerabilities, including 4.5.2, 4.5.3, 4.6.1, 4.7.1, 4.7.2, and many other previous releases.</p>\n<p>Google has created a fun and educational <a href=\"https://xss-game.appspot.com/\" target=\"_blank\">XSS game</a> that teaches new bug hunters how to find and exploit XSS vulnerabilities. Each challenge teaches students how to inject a script to pop up an alert() within the training application. The first few levels are fairly easy and it gets progressively more difficult.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/xss-game-level-1.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>It was designed for developers who work on web apps but do not specialize in security. Google&#8217;s goal with the game is to help developers get better at recognizing the vulnerabilities in their own code:</p>\n<blockquote><p>This security game consists of several levels resembling real-world applications which are vulnerable to XSS &#8211; your task will be to find the problem and attack the apps, similar to what an evil hacker might do. </p>\n<p>XSS bugs are common because they have a nasty habit of popping up wherever a webapp deals with untrusted input. Our motivation is to highlight common coding patterns which lead to XSS to help you spot them in your code.</p></blockquote>\n<p>The intro to the game tempts new recruits to hone their skills with promises to pay mercenaries up to <a href=\"https://www.google.com/about/appsecurity/reward-program/index.html#rewards\" target=\"_blank\">$7,500 for discovering XSS bugs</a> in the Google&#8217;s most sensitive products. It gives a nice introduction to common attack vectors for XSS vulnerabilities and congratulates winners with a cake and a <a href=\"http://Google\'s application security resource\" target=\"_blank\">link to more in-depth XSS documentation</a> from Google&#8217;s collection of application security resources.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/xss-game-cake-complete.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://xss-game.appspot.com/\" target=\"_blank\">XSS game</a> has been around for a few years and provides a fun way to start your XSS learning if you have a few minutes over the weekend. With the constant stream of security updates for WordPress core, plugins, and themes, it&#8217;s good to get a basic understanding of what many of these patches are for. After a little bit of study and practice, you may be able to find XSS vulnerabilities in applications and help make the internet more secure.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";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, 25 Feb 2017 19:31:21 +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: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:63:\"Post Status: Running a successful regional agency, with Ben May\";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=34480\";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:66:\"https://poststatus.com/running-successful-regional-agency-ben-may/\";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:1657:\"<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.</p>\n<p><span>In this episode, Brian interviews Ben May to talk about running <a href=\"https://thecode.co/\">The Code Company</a>, a semi-remote agency based in Queensland, Australia.

Although it sounds trivial, it’s actually really difficult to keep track of what your developers use. Most of this code isn’t explicitly included — instead it’s brought in automatically by complex tool behavior or one of the million ways developers <a href=\"https://medium.com/fossa/you-cant-get-around-code-scanning-if-you-care-about-open-source-licenses-2db1fde43fb5#.pb9mtykaf\" target=\"_blank\">casually share code</a>.&#8221;</p>\n<p>FOSSA can detect license and policy violations and unlicensed dependencies before an expensive mistake is fully integrated into a project.

FOSSA is solely focused on OSS license compliance and automating disclosure and attribution.</p>\n<p>Compliance is becoming increasingly difficult as developers can easily execute a few commands and import dozens of npm modules that inherit licensing obligations from a myriad of different sources. Even governments and large companies with plenty of resources struggle to keep track of all the open source requirements of the software they are using.</p>\n<p>In 2013, <a href=\"https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20131018/13291924928/healthcaregov-violates-open-source-license.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">Healthcare.gov violated an open source license</a> when it used the DataTables jQuery plugin without the required attribution. Last year, <a href=\"http://venturebeat.com/2016/05/10/oracle-vs-google-in-9-billion-retrial-over-use-of-java-in-android/\" target=\"_blank\">Google was embroiled in a court battle with Oracle</a> over the use of Java in Android.</p>\n<p>A tool like FOSSA could have helped Wix catch its <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wix-removes-gpl-licensed-wordpress-code-from-mobile-app-forks-original-mit-library\" target=\"_blank\">violation of the GPL in 2016</a> when the company used GPL-licensed code from the WordPress mobile app and distributed it in its proprietary app. FOSSA aims to catch licensing issues before they become expensive problems for developers to rework and lawyers to settle.</p>\n<p>A few years before beginning work on FOSSA, Wang built <a href=\"https://tldrlegal.com/\" target=\"_blank\">tl;drLegal</a>, a site that explains software licenses in plain English. The free resource received backing from the Open Source Initiative and has been used by more than a million developers. Wang said he &#8220;sees FOSSA as an attempt to tackle similar problems in a commercial scenario.&#8221;</p>\n<p>FOSSA will be expanding its pricing options later this year. At the moment, the free beta and the $499/month commercial options leave a gaping hole that excludes smaller organizations. Wang replied to pricing questions on ProductHunt, saying that they are targeting enterprise customers first but plan to introduce more options for small teams and individuals.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";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, 25 Feb 2017 00:21:39 +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:92:\"WPTavern: Discourse Creates Encouragement Fund to Pay Contributors for Mission Critical Work\";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=66145\";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:103:\"https://wptavern.com/discourse-creates-encouragement-fund-to-pay-contributors-for-mission-critical-work\";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:2486:\"<p><a href=\"https://www.discourse.org\">Discourse</a> is free, open-source discussion software created by Jeff Atwood in 2013.&nbsp;In addition to celebrating its fourth birthday, the team <a href=\"https://blog.discourse.org/2017/02/the-discourse-encouragement-fund/\">announced</a> the Discourse Encouragement Fund. The fund allows the development team to pay contributors for critical work.</p>\n<p>In the course of a year, Discourse has paid 16 different developers a total of $17,000 to work on tasks. All of their work is open source and two of the contributors&nbsp;<a href=\"https://blog.discourse.org/2017/02/discourses-fourth-birthday/\">joined the team</a> as full-time employees.</p>\n<p>Discourse&nbsp;shared its 7-step process for rewarding contributors and the one that&nbsp;sticks out to me is number four: &#8220;We choose who, what and when.&#8221;</p>\n<p>&#8220;At first we tried to put tasks &#8216;up for grabs&#8217;, but this method didn’t work too well,&#8221; Erlend Sogge Heggen, Community Advocate at Discourse said. &#8220;You end up with multiple takers and you have to pick one and let others down.&#8221;</p>\n<p>&#8220;Instead, we approach developers individually, one at a time. Since we’re an open source project we know fairly well who’s capable of what, so we’ll tap our top prospect, present the task and &#8216;bounty&#8217;, and get a yes or no.</p>\n<p>&#8220;If no, we move on to the next good prospect. If we run out of good prospects for a specific task, we’ll either do it ourselves or put it on hold.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Heggen says the program has worked well thus far and will continue indefinitely. &#8220;As much as we’d like to, we can’t put every one of our contributors on a steady payroll,&#8221; he said.</p>\n<p>&#8220;What we can do is remind them that the work they’re doing is valuable, in every sense of the word, and that there is money to be made from specializing in Discourse.&#8221;</p>\n<p>The program is funded by customers who purchase <a href=\"https://discourse.org/buy\">hosting plans</a>, &#8220;The general idea is that paying customers help improve Discourse, both for themselves, and for the greater open source community at large,&#8221; Atwood said.</p>\n<p>Introducing money into an open source project can be <a href=\"http://david.heinemeierhansson.com/2013/the-perils-of-mixing-open-source-and-money.html\">risky </a>but so far, Discourse has found a way to make it work.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";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, 24 Feb 2017 19:20:08 +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:23;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:53:\"WPTavern: Cloudflare Memory Leak Exposes Private Data\";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=66488\";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:64:\"https://wptavern.com/cloudflare-memory-leak-exposes-private-data\";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:5730:\"<p><a href=\"https://www.cloudflare.com/\">Cloudflare</a>, a content distribution network used by many popular sites, <a href=\"https://blog.cloudflare.com/incident-report-on-memory-leak-caused-by-cloudflare-parser-bug/\">published detailed information</a> about a security vulnerability that leaked user information, some of which was private, including passwords, private messages, etc. The vulnerability was <a href=\"https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=1139#c19\">discovered</a> by security researcher <a href=\"https://twitter.com/taviso\">Tavis Ormandy,</a> a member of Google&#8217;s <a href=\"https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.co.uk/\">Project Zero</a> team.</p>\n<p>The issue stems from a memory leak in an HTML parser named cf-html that was created to replace an older parser based on <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragel\">Ragel.</a></p>\n<p>&#8220;It turned out that the underlying bug that caused the memory leak had been present in our Ragel-based parser for many years but no memory was leaked because of the way the internal NGINX buffers were used,&#8221; John Graham-Cumming, <span class=\"st\">Chief Technology Officer at Cloudflare</span> said. &#8220;Introducing cf-html subtly changed the buffering which enabled the leakage even though there were no problems in cf-html itself.&#8221;</p>\n<p>The earliest date information was leaked was September 22nd, 2016 when <a href=\"https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/227227647-How-do-I-use-Automatic-HTTPS-Rewrites-\">Automatic HTTP Rewrites</a> were enabled. This was the first of three features introduced that used the parser. The other two are <a href=\"https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200170016-What-is-Email-Address-Obfuscation-\">email obfuscation</a> and <a href=\"https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200170036-What-does-Server-Side-Excludes-SSE-do-\">Server-side Excludes</a>.</p>\n<p>The greatest period of impact was between February 13th and February 17th. The leaked information ended up in publicly available cached webpages. Cloudflare worked with major search engine providers to have the cached pages scrubbed before publicly announcing details of the bug.</p>\n<p>&#8220;With the help of Google, Yahoo, Bing and others, we found 770 unique URIs that had been cached and which contained leaked memory,&#8221; Graham-Cumming said. &#8220;Those 770 unique URIs covered 161 unique domains. The leaked memory has been purged with the help of the search engines. We also undertook other search expeditions looking for potentially leaked information on sites like Pastebin and did not find anything.&#8221;</p>\n<h2>1Password is Not Affected</h2>\n<p>Earlier reports indicated that 1Password was among the sites affected. Jeffrey Goldberg, a 1Password employee, <a href=\"https://blog.agilebits.com/2017/02/23/three-layers-of-encryption-keeps-you-safe-when-ssltls-fails/\">assured users</a> that the Cloudflare data leak does not affect 1Password.</p>\n<p>&#8220;At the moment, we want to assure and remind everyone that we designed 1Password with the expectation that SSL/TLS can fail,&#8221; Goldberg said. &#8220;Indeed it is for incidents like this that we deliberately made this design.&#8221;</p>\n<p>&#8220;No secrets are transmitted between 1Password clients and 1Password.com when you sign in and use the service. Our sign-in uses <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Remote_Password_protocol\">SRP</a>, which means that server and client prove their identity to each other without transmitting any secrets. This means that users of 1Password do not need to change their Master Passwords.&#8221;</p>\n<h2>Change Your Passwords</h2>\n<p><a href=\"https://twitter.com/thesquashsh\">Nick Sweeting</a> has used a number of web scrapers to compile a list of sites that use Cloudflare. The list is available on <a href=\"https://github.com/pirate/sites-using-cloudflare\">GitHub</a> and currently contains 4,287,625 domains that are possibly affected. Popular domains in the list include:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>authy.com</li>\n<li>coinbase.com</li>\n<li>digitalocean.com</li>\n<li>patreon.com</li>\n<li>bitpay.com</li>\n<li>news.ycombinator.com</li>\n<li>producthunt.com</li>\n<li>medium.com</li>\n<li>4chan.org</li>\n<li>yelp.com</li>\n<li>okcupid.com</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The bug also affects mobile apps as HTTP header data for apps such as Discord, FitBit, and Uber have been discovered in search engine caches. NowSecure <a href=\"https://www.nowsecure.com/blog/2017/02/23/cloudflare-cloudbleed-bugs-impact-mobile-apps/\">published a list</a> that includes 200 iOS apps that use Cloudflare services.</p>\n<p>Users are strongly encouraged to change their passwords regardless if a site uses Cloudflare or not. Those who use Cloudflare should generate new API keys and consider forcing a password change to users.</p>\n<p>Two factor authentication should be enabled where possible so that the password is not the only credential needed to access an account. Mobile users should log out of mobile applications and log back in to create a new active token. To force all users on a WordPress site to logout and re-login, <a href=\"https://wpstudio.com/cloudflare-security-precaution-alert/\">WPStudio recommends</a> changing the salt keys in wp-config.php.</p>\n<p>Although major search engines are actively scrubbing cached pages, the leaks have been occurring for at least four months. There&#8217;s no telling who may have already scraped those pages and archived the data. There&#8217;s also the possibility that someone discovered the vulnerability before Ormandy and has been parsing cached pages for months. This is why it&#8217;s important that at a minimum, you change your passwords.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";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, 24 Feb 2017 19:03:25 +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: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:86:\"WPTavern: Google’s New Perspective Project Filters Online Comments Based on Toxicity\";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=66464\";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:94:\"https://wptavern.com/googles-new-perspective-project-filters-online-comments-based-on-toxicity\";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:5970:\"<a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/mobile-reading.jpg?ssl=1\"><img /></a>photo credit: <a href=\"https://stocksnap.io/photo/RY5J4XBYJV\">Martino Pietropoli</a>\n<p>Online harassment is a hot topic right now, as Twitter&#8217;s perennial battle with trolls heats up, forcing the company to develop new features to combat abuse. Technology companies are scrambling to create solutions that will make their communities safer for users and now Google is taking on the challenge of online harassment as part of its <a href=\"https://jigsaw.google.com\" target=\"_blank\">Jigsaw</a> technology incubator. Jigsaw&#8217;s engineers and researchers tackle geopolitical problems like attacks on free speech, injustice, corruption, and violent extremism.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.perspectiveapi.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Perspective</a> is Jigsaw&#8217;s latest project aimed at improving the comment sections of websites, which can become hotbeds of harassment when left unmoderated. It turns out that eliminating the darker aspects of human behavior, especially when combatting those operating under the cloak of online anonymity, has proven to be an exquisite challenge best suited to the bots.</p>\n<p>The Perspective project uses machine learning to identify and filter comments for toxicity. Its API scores comments based on &#8220;the perceived impact a comment might have on a conversation.&#8221; Publishers can then use that information to offer real-time feedback to commenters and speed up moderation. The <a href=\"https://www.perspectiveapi.com/\" target=\"_blank\">live demo</a> allows readers to filter the comments based on a sliding scale of toxicity that they are willing to engage.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/google-jigsaw-perspective-project.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>The Perspective site also includes a Writing Demo that delivers real-time feedback for the toxicity level as you type. The model defines toxic as &#8220;a rude, disrespectful, or unreasonable comment that is likely to make you leave a discussion.&#8221;</p>\n<h3>Developers Can Request Access to the Perspective API and Major Publications are Already Experimenting with It</h3>\n<p>Toxic commenting and trolls are especially rampant on news sites, requiring moderators to be constantly vigilant and ready to neutralize threats to civil discourse. This is why the New York Times employs 14 full-time moderators to manually review the 11,000 comments that come in each day. Despite the efforts of this dedicated team, commenting is only available on 10% of Times articles due to the moderation load.</p>\n<p>As a partner on this project, the New York Times <a href=\"http://www.nytco.com/the-times-is-partnering-with-jigsaw-to-expand-comment-capabilities/\" target=\"_blank\">open sourced 10 years of moderated comment archives</a> to help the Jigsaw team build the machine learning models that will improve conversations on the web. The publication is currently creating an open source moderation tool to expand community discussion to other areas of the Times.</p>\n<p>The Wikimedia Foundation is also <a href=\"https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Detox\" target=\"_blank\">collaborating with Jigsaw</a> to develop tools for automating detection of toxic comments and analyzing their impact in discussions at scale. These tools are aimed at mitigating the personal attacks levied at volunteer editors in an effort to improve overall community health.</p>\n<p>The Perspective project is still in its early days of research and development, but developers can <a href=\"https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/perspective-announce/join\" target=\"_blank\">sign up</a> to request an API key. Google will be open sourcing the experiments, models, and research data gained from testing machine learning as a tool for improving online discussion.</p>\n<p>As WordPress powers more than 27% of all websites, a plugin built with the Perspective API could have a major impact on raising the standard of discourse for a large segment of comment-enabled sites. Many publications that might otherwise value thoughtful discussion, have resorted to turning comments off entirely because of the burden of moderation.</p>\n<p>Those who rattle off the tired internet maxim that says &#8220;<em>Never read the comments</em>&#8221; speak to the pervasive toxicity that has invaded online discourse, but they also betray their own fragility in engaging commenters who sabotage discussions with incivility. Readers don&#8217;t always have the emotional energy to deal with rude comments that slipped through moderation. While some may find Reddit-style wild west commenting to be spirited and amusing, there are plenty of others who find it demoralizing.</p>\n<p>One thing I appreciate about the Perspective project&#8217;s demo is that its aim isn&#8217;t to edit or change the comments to be less toxic but rather it offers the reader a way to filter based on the individual&#8217;s comfort level. With clear warnings in place and a default view set on the safer side, the publication is no longer obligated to overly-censor comments for the lowest threshold of offense.</p>\n<p>The Perspective project is experimenting with using machine learning to wrangle the human factor of interacting online. It&#8217;s come to the point that moderating comments and weeding out toxicity has become overwhelming for those trying to run a publication. The most encouraging aspect of this experiment is that Google put engineers, designers, and researchers on this problem because <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/why-comments-still-matter\" target=\"_blank\">comments still matter</a>. This new technology affirms the importance of public discourse on the web and aims to preserve comments as a safe place for conversations. I&#8217;m interested to see what WordPress developers can build with the Perspective API once it is available.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";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, 24 Feb 2017 04:17:34 +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:25;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:69:\"WPTavern: WordPress Community Summit 2017 Set for June 13-14 in Paris\";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=66439\";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:80:\"https://wptavern.com/wordpress-community-summit-2017-set-for-june-13-14-in-paris\";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:3561:\"<p>WordPress contributor teams are getting ready for the next <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/02/23/planning-for-community-summit-2017/\" target=\"_blank\">Community Summit</a>, which will be held in Paris leading up to WordCamp Europe on June 13-14.

Instead of the previous invitation-only system, contributor teams are identifying the challenging issues they want to discuss and then nominating attendees who will represent diverse viewpoints on these particular topics.</p>\n<p>For example, a few <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/02/23/planning-for-community-summit-2017/\" target=\"_blank\">proposed topics for the core team</a> include discussions about the future of JavaScript in core, how to attract more JavaScript-first developers to build on WordPress, and technology version support policies (PHP, MySQL, browsers, etc.) Theme Review Team contributors have <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/themes/2017/02/18/community-submit-2017/\" target=\"_blank\">proposed</a> discussion on how to allow for more experimentation and ways to improve the leadership of the team and the theme author and reviewer experiences.</p>\n<p>Each of the 16 contributor teams tagged in the announcement has until March 3rd to create a list of topics and representatives, including contributors who are willing to help organize the event. An <a href=\"https://wceurope.polldaddy.com/s/community-summit-2017-call-for-non-active-contributors\" target=\"_blank\">application form</a> is open for those who represent other interests within the WordPress community but are not part of one of the contributor teams. The summit will be limited to 180 attendees (the capacity for the venue).</p>\n<p>The call for sponsors will be published next week, but promotional activities will not be incorporated into the event. The organizing team is also working on finding sponsors to cover travel expenses for contributors who have financial barriers to attending.</p>\n<p>&#8220;The idea of this event sponsorship is about supporting the project and the community,&#8221; summit organizer Rocio Valdivia said. &#8220;So, there aren’t levels of exposure associated with each price level other than the label that will show up in the make/summit p2 page for it and on the sidebar. We’ll add links to their sites, logos, and a huge thanks at event to all sponsors, regardless how much they’ve sponsored. The sponsorship levels are about the desire and financial ability of the companies to contribute to the summit, not about a marketing thing.&#8221;</p>\n<p>The summit is closed to the public and the press, but there is a decent level of transparency around the topics attendees plan to discuss if you peruse the make.wordpress.org blogs. If contributor teams publish notes from the discussions as they have in previous years, the wider community will be able to follow along to see if the summit precipitates meaningful progress for the project.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";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, 23 Feb 2017 22:05:20 +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: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:51:\"Akismet: Akismet WordPress Plugin 3.3 Now Available\";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:\"http://blog.akismet.com/?p=1923\";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:\"https://blog.akismet.com/2017/02/23/akismet-wordpress-plugin-3-3/\";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:1366:\"<p>Version 3.3 of <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/akismet/\">the Akismet plugin for WordPress</a> is available.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://akismet.files.wordpress.com/2017/02/akismet-3-3-dashboard.png\"><img /></a> In addition to a handful of bug fixes, version 3.3 refreshes the Akismet settings page design and adds an improved first-run experience.

The suspension left 300,000 users (including those using Zerif Lite child themes) without maintenance and security updates.</p>\n<p>After five months of fixes and several rounds of review, <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/themes/zerif-lite/\" target=\"_blank\">Zerif Lite</a> has returned to the directory with the same functionality but a significantly altered user experience. Users are now required to install a plugin for the features that were previously deemed to be &#8220;faux custom post types,&#8221; violations of the content vs. presentation guideline for WordPress.org-hosted themes. These include small custom content blocks that appear on the homepage for things like team info and testimonials.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We will work on making sure it is all clear for people, but I still don’t understand or agree with the requirement,&#8221; ThemeIsle CEO Ionut Neagu said. &#8220;I think <a href=\"http://torstenlandsiedel.de/2017/02/21/questions/\" target=\"_blank\">Torsten phrased it better</a>: &#8216;Why do the guidelines of the Theme Review Team forbid the usage of Shortcodes/CPTs/etc. due to problems when switching themes, if, in the meantime, the Plugin Review Team explicitly allows those plugins which only work for one theme, which brings the entire idea (function remains intact after switching themes) to absurdity?\'&#8221;</p>\n<p>At the time of suspension, Neagu estimated that Zerif Lite&#8217;s unavailability on WordPress.org would diminish the company&#8217;s revenue by 50%.</p>\n<p>&#8220;What was interesting is that revenue continued to decrease for all those months and we are now at around $45k/month instead of $120k,&#8221; Neagu said. &#8220;That revenue won’t be back as the theme is live. A big part of success/sales before was that we had a great demo, a very easy-to-set-up theme, and ‘better’ upsells.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Neagu said the company has seen no significant increase in revenue during the first few days the theme has been back in the directory. His team has considered releasing the theme under a completely different name but is committed to supporting the current version for at least the next two years. Meanwhile, they have built newer themes like <a href=\"https://themeisle.com/themes/hestia/\" target=\"_blank\">Hestia</a> to be capable of importing Zerif content seamlessly into its design to avoid the lock-in effect.</p>\n<p>Neagu said the experience of losing so much revenue has not changed the company&#8217;s strategy for distribution. They will continue to add new themes to WordPress.org but Neagu said they would be lucky to add two per year, given the limitation of one theme per account and a 6-7 month waiting period in the queue.</p>\n<p>Zerif Lite&#8217;s suspension was a controversial decision. Many who commented on our first <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/zerif-lite-suspended-from-wordpress-theme-directory-300k-users-left-without-updates\" target=\"_blank\">post</a> about the issue were pleased to see the Theme Review Team finally throw the book at ThemeIsle after the company had been allowed to skirt the requirements for more than a year without resolving the issues. Others saw the situation as an opportunity to re-examine the directory&#8217;s requirements.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Perhaps the rules surrounding theme submission to the repo should be relaxed for everyone – limited only to security concerns perhaps, let the market sort out the rest,&#8221; <a href=\"https://twitter.com/bradley_kirby\" target=\"_blank\">Bradley Kirby</a>, author of the Wallace theme, said. &#8220;Is it possible that absolute data portability isn’t an expectation or desire from most end users? That they expect to do some manual porting of data when they change themes? That they prize other features like site design and built-in functionality over something like data portability?&#8221;</p>\n<p>Zerif Lite has been at the center of the Theme Review Team&#8217;s discussions regarding data portability for the past two years after the team began <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wordpress-theme-review-team-is-cracking-down-on-violations-of-the-presentation-vs-functionality-guideline\" target=\"_blank\">cracking down on violations of the Presentation vs. Functionality guideline</a>. The spotlight shined on Zerif Lite during that discussion eventually culminated in its suspension, as Neagu was forced to comply or have his theme removed.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I think our goal should just be to provide the best experience for the users, not just to comply without thinking about what users want,&#8221; Neagu said. &#8220;At least this is my goal &#8211; to build the best products that will help people to build their sites.&#8221;</p>\n<h3>The Risks of Using WordPress.org as a Primary Distribution Channel</h3>\n<p>WordPress.org is arguably the most effective way for a theme company to reach mass quantities of users with a freemium theme. The directory lends a great deal of credibility to its listings because of the stringent guidelines and rigorous review process. Failure to comply with these guidelines ultimately ended up sinking ThemeIsle&#8217;s flagship theme and Neagu is not optimistic that the previous revenue will return.</p>\n<p>&#8220;During this whole time, a thing that caught me off guard was some of people’s comments wondering if it was even safe to use a theme that was removed from the repo in the first place,&#8221; Neagu said. &#8220;I mean, in the user’s mind, and understandably so, there must have been something wrong with the theme since it got removed, right?&#8221; He said this experience caused him to see things differently.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Being listed in the official repository doesn’t only get you downloads and/or sales, but also trust and credibility in the eyes of your potential users,&#8221; Neagu said. &#8220;Unfortunately, most of the users who install themes directly via their WP dashboards are not very experienced, and they have no reason to research the web a bit more to find out what happened to the theme they heard about. In other words, if someone types &#8216;zerif&#8217; into the search field in their dashboard and they find nothing, they just move on.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Neagu said that in spite of differences Themeisle has had with the Theme Review Team, the company will continue to contribute and be part of the community. The theme&#8217;s suspension, re-working, and re-installment is an interesting case of what can happen when a company&#8217;s sales strategy is at odds with WordPress.org&#8217;s requirements.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Our products are focused towards beginners, being super easy to setup with built-in demo content, so they are not niched products that we can distribute in different communities,&#8221; Neagu said.</p>\n<p>&#8220;It is obvious that relying on a third-party marketplace is the worst scenario, but WordPress.org is the default solution: if you want to reach a large mass of people, you need to be there.&#8221;</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";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, 22 Feb 2017 21:47:29 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s: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:48:\"BuddyPress: BuddyPress 2.8.1 Maintenance 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:32:\"https://buddypress.org/?p=264058\";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://buddypress.org/2017/02/buddypress-2-8-1-maintenance-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:536:\"<p>BuddyPress 2.8.1 is now available.

The team recently <a href=\"https://wordpress.github.io/gutenberg/\">published a UI prototype </a>for Gutenberg, an experimental block based editor. The editor displays content-specific toolbars when an element is selected and provides a way to move blocks up and down.</p>\n<img />Block Based Editor UI Prototype\n<p>While the goal is to reinvent WordPress&#8217; current editor, there&#8217;s no guarantee that the prototype will end up as the final product and is in a high state of flux.</p>\n<p>&#8220;The UI prototype exists mostly to serve as a non-static mockup,&#8221; Asmussen said. &#8220;It&#8217;s like a sandbox we&#8217;re building to test some of our mockups and assumptions, to see if they hold water or not. To that extent, it&#8217;s already been successful in informing us of things that worked well, and not so well.&#8221; The code that powers the editor is made up of about 90% JavaScript.</p>\n<p>One of the concerns in revamping the editor is accessibility. Joe Dolson <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/accessibility/2017/02/17/revising-the-wordpress-editor-gutenberg-and-accessibility/\">highlighted this concern</a> in a post on the Make WordPress Accessible site. Dolson notes that the accessibility team will work in tandem with the editor team to make the new editor as accessible as possible.</p>\n<p>&#8220;From an accessibility perspective, this is both an incredible opportunity to build a powerful and flexible experience for all users and an enormous risk that we could end up reducing the effectiveness of the editor for users with disabilities, or require them to use a 2nd-class editor without these enhanced editing capabilities,&#8221; Dolson said.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We in the WordPress accessibility community embrace the challenge of creating a great new experience, and want to assure the community that we are going to do everything we can to make sure that any new editor experience is as accessible as we can possibly make it.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Although the prototype&#8217;s functionality is limited, the team is interested to hear about your experience and expectations with using the editor. Some questions to consider during testing include:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Talk through each step, what does this do?</li>\n<li>What does this feel like?</li>\n<li>As you use it, what is missing you feel should be there?</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Many users have already <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/design/2017/02/09/initial-editor-blocks-prototype-editor-testing/\">shared their experiences</a>, providing valuable insight that is fueling rapid improvements to the <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/\">project</a> on<a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/\"> GitHub</a>.</p>\n<p>The best way to get involved and contribute to this project is to subscribe to the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/design/\">Make WordPress Design</a> blog and provide feedback by commenting on posts.

The hostel’s cat just came to say “Good morning” and I just finished my night shift on the WPMU DEV forum. It’s my third day in Rio after spending the last 40 days in Bogota, Colombia. Traveling is in my blood or at least, it is now.</p>\n<p>I’m a full-time digital nomad and I have been for over a year now.</p>\n<blockquote><p>I’m single, I’m female and because of WordPress, I can travel around the world and work at the same time.</p></blockquote>\n<p>I started using WordPress in 2009, but I like to think that everything started in 2011 when I attended my first WordCamp in Poland. I remember I was extremely shy, scared and bit lost on the first day of WordCamp.</p>\n<p>It was a different world to me or at least in contrast to what I had at home – a small city in South East Poland. It was different because for the first time in a long time since college, I felt like I fit in with everyone there. They were a right fit for me and so was that place.</p>\n<p>Since that first WordCamp, I also attended many more in Poland as well as in other countries. Later, I went on to be the lead organizer of WordPress meetups in Wrocław and two WordCamps in Poland. I was also a speaker for many Polish events and for one WordCamp Paris.</p>\n<p>If not for the WordPress community and the friends I met on that very first WordCamp, I wouldn’t have been able to achieve any of those accomplishments.</p>\n<blockquote><p>But how could I have become a full-time digital nomad, you ask?</p></blockquote>\n<p>In 2015, I was stuck. I had a great, steady job in Wrocław. I was working with WordPress and everything was perfect, at least, that’s what I thought at the time.</p>\n<p>I achieved almost everything that society around me was expecting: a partner, apartment, a great job and the next step would have been getting married and having kids. Suddenly, I was sinking.</p>\n<p>For a year, the only moments where I was truly happy was when I was attending WordCamps and WordPress meetups – when I was with my “tribe”, my friends.</p>\n<p>Then, in May of 2015, something incredible happened: one of my friends sent me a link to a list of 70 companies which offered positions working remotely. Three of them were related to WordPress: Automattic, OnTheGoSystems and Incsub.</p>\n<p>That same day, I feverishly filled out an application for a position as a Support Star at Incsub, the parent company to WPMU DEV.</p>\n<p>After a wait full of agonizing anticipation, I finally got the job and six months later, I bought a one-way ticket to Japan, then one to Australia.</p>\n<blockquote><p>This was just the start of my life as a digital nomad.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Working at WPMU DEV remotely with partial dedicated hours and the rest being flexible allowed me to move and work while traveling.</p>\n<p>The people I work with comprise the best team ever. My boss, Tim, is incredibly supportive and is willing to help when something bad happens. I didn’t need to be worried about my job when my plans suddenly made a turn for the worse, which did happen. When I had to fly back to Poland in the middle of the week due to family emergencies, it wasn’t a problem.</p>\n<p>I always felt safe in the WordPress community and now I’m grateful to also feel safe with the people I work with even though we’re spread out across the globe and across many cultures.</p>\n<p>Even though I’m confident in my choice of being a digital nomad now, that wasn’t always the case. This was especially true since I apparently managed to make quite the big scandal in my hometown because “good girls” don’t run away.</p>\n<p>To my dismay, I was constantly told, “Study hard and you will get a nice, steady job in an office with insurance and a guaranteed retirement.”</p>\n<p>How could I not want that? After all, that’s supposed to be the dream of every woman, right? That’s what I was constantly told, anyway.</p>\n<p>Luckily, my best friend (who I had met at a WordCamp!) was there for me and said, “Don’t let them get to you. You are far away and they can’t hurt you.”</p>\n<p>Since then, I stood with my decision to finally be free and happy.</p>\n<p>Growing up in small city and being interested in computers and IT was not easy to say the least. Those aren’t traditionally considered subjects that interest girls. It also became all the more difficult when I realized this was something I wanted to do and nothing else.</p>\n<p>There weren’t many people around me in my hometown who understood what I wanted to do and even fewer people who would support me. Unfortunately, this is still true. It became tougher when I was diagnosed with heavy bipolar disorder.</p>\n<blockquote><p>At that time, everything sucked. I was lost and hopeless.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Compounding my stress, it was around then that I realized I also suffered from the impostor syndrome – the belief that you don’t know enough about the industry you’re in to be capable of doing your job and that you never will despite anything you do.</p>\n<p>There was an ugly feeling that crept in: I wanted to be somewhere else and I want to be different.</p>\n<p>Fortunately, every time I attended a WordCamp or WordPress meetup, these thoughts would melt away because I felt completely supported.</p>\n<p>It didn’t matter that I’m a girl or that I’m delightfully weird. What did matter was that I was knowledgeable about WordPress, my skills were growing quickly and that I could contribute to the community using my organizational skills.</p>\n<p>During these meetings, I don’t ever remember someone assuming that I’m a graphic designer because I’m a girl and “girls know color.” There’s nothing wrong with being a graphic designer, but assuming someone is based solely on their gender – there’s definitely something wrong with that.</p>\n<p>In reality, I’m a theme developer and in the WordPress community, that wasn’t unusual.</p>\n<p>It helped me gain confidence in myself and my skills. With that confidence, I found courage to start a life where I’m no longer wanting to be somewhere else or be someone else.</p>\n<blockquote><p>At any given time, I am who I want to be and I’m right where I want to be.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Solo traveling isn’t always peaches and cream or sunshine, lollipops and rainbows everywhere, especially when I’m sick and inevitably alone. All things considered, I wouldn’t swap it out for what many would consider to be a “normal” life – whatever that is – and instead, I think it&#8217;s important for people to do what makes them happy and not just what others expect of them.</p>\n<p>As a digital nomad, I was able to go to WordCamps in Tokyo, Belgrade, the US, Singapore and Vienna. I have met many new people and I have collected incredible memories along the way.</p>\n<p>This year and in many more to come, while others may doubt my choices, I’ll be happy, traveling to more WordCamps and enjoying a sense of true freedom just because I can.</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: A Sense Of True Freedom\" class=\"rtsocial-twitter-button\" href=\"https://twitter.com/share?text=A%20Sense%20Of%20True%20Freedom&via=heropress&url=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fsense-true-freedom%2F\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"></a></div></div><div class=\"rtsocial-fb-horizontal fb-light\"><div class=\"rtsocial-fb-horizontal-button\"><a title=\"Like: A Sense Of True Freedom\" class=\"rtsocial-fb-button rtsocial-fb-like-light\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fsense-true-freedom%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%2Fsense-true-freedom%2F&title=A+Sense+Of+True+Freedom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share: A Sense Of True Freedom\"></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/sense-true-freedom/&media=https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/022217-150x150.jpg&description=A Sense Of True Freedom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pin: A Sense Of True Freedom\"></a></div></div><a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"perma-link\" href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/sense-true-freedom/\" title=\"A Sense Of True Freedom\"></a></div><p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/sense-true-freedom/\">A Sense Of True Freedom</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, 22 Feb 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:16:\"Kasia Świderska\";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:32;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:66:\"WPTavern: Solving the Mystery of How People Actually Use 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:29:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=65557\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:77:\"https://wptavern.com/solving-the-mystery-of-how-people-actually-use-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:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:9727:\"<p>I’m in favor of <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wordpress-telemetry-proposal-addresses-long-standing-privacy-concerns-as-gdpr-compliance-deadline-looms#comment-208658\">WordPress collecting more anonymized usage data</a> that could help make informed decisions on changes or improvements to core, such as tracking changes to the WordPress user interface, which buttons or settings are used most often, etc.</p>\n<p>A good example of when this data could have come in handy is the recent <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wordpress-4-7-removes-the-underline-and-justify-buttons-from-the-editor\">removal of the justify and underline buttons</a> from the editor in WordPress 4.7. During <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/27159#comment:82\">the discussion</a> on whether they should be removed or not, a number of people questioned if there was any user data available that would indicate how much they’re used and help gauge the impact of removing them.</p>\n<p>The only data available to help make an informed decision was provided by Mel Choyce. Choyce <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/27159#comment:29\">shared statistics</a> from WordPress.com and its variety of editor interfaces that indicated Bold, Italic, and Links are used the most while Lists and Blockquotes are the second most used buttons.</p>\n<p>The Center and Left alignment buttons are used often, but the data doesn’t determine if people are using them to align text or images. Information on which headings are used most was not available. The team did not have any usage data specific to the WordPress core editor.</p>\n<p>In the ticket, Andrew Ozz, who maintains the TinyMCE component, <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/27159#comment:103\" rel=\"nofollow\">chimed in</a> and agreed that good user data is needed.</p>\n<p>In an effort to obtain usage data before removing the buttons, Ozz <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/27159#comment:104\">created a small plugin</a> to perform testing with five existing and first-time users. Interestingly, he discovered that both types of users clicked on the kitchen sink button to display the second row of buttons and didn&#8217;t click the button to hide them again.</p>\n<p>Ozz also shared other results from his limited testing.</p>\n<blockquote><p>I know these test results are extremely limited and cannot be used when making a decision, but they are an indication of what &#8216;real&#8217; testing may reveal. In this case it shows that moving buttons to the bottom row will have no effect on the usage of these buttons as they will still be visible at all times.</p>\n<p>This super limited testing also indicated another (much bigger) problem: somebody mentioned this some time ago (think it was @mor10), around 20% of the WordPress users don’t even know there is a second editor toolbar, and some feel &#8216;pretty stupid&#8217; after discovering it. I think this is bad UX and something that can be fixed easily by having the second toolbar open by default, and fixing it is more important and will improve the UX for these 20% of users a lot.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Imagine how useful it would be for core developers or others if there was usage data like this on a grander scale that could fuel rapid improvements and help discover and eliminate pain points.</p>\n<p>Matt Mullenweg, co-creator of the WordPress project, has <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/38418\">closed the ticket</a> with the Telemetry Proposal as it&#8217;s not within 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\">three project focus areas</a> for 2017.</p>\n<p>&#8220;There is no part of current or potential WP development that is being held back by the lack of this existing, as there are easy and current ways to answer questions with data to the extent it would inform our decisions,&#8221; Mullenweg said.</p>\n<p>Morten Rand-Hendriksen <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/38418#comment:11\">responded to the closure</a> saying that the quantitative user testing falls squarely within the Customizer focus area.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I would argue since the release of the Customizer some years back, it has gone through a multi-year large-scale quantitative user test with incremental tweaks and improvements,&#8221; Rand-Hendriksen said.</p>\n<p>&#8220;This is in line with standard agile development. At this juncture, the Customizer can be considered mature, and moving a mature solution forward requires hard data on usage, use cases, and user needs. This goes beyond standard user testing to large-scale data collection, which is what this ticket aims at addressing.&#8221;</p>\n<h2>Perspective From a WordPress Release Lead</h2>\n<p>There are WordPress core developers who have shown interest in a similar system. At the start of the WordPress 4.7 development cycle, Drew Jaynes, who led the WordPress 4.2 release cycle, <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/08/17/wordpress-4-7-whats-on-your-mind/#comment-30573\">expressed interest</a> in creating an opt-in data collection system.</p>\n<p>The idea received positive feedback that included people offering to help. I asked Jaynes what his thoughts are on such a system and how it could benefit core development.</p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s some discussion about what form that collection should take initially, but I think there&#8217;s consensus that it should be opt-in, and take one of two forms (or a hybrid of the two): active (surveys in the admin) or passive (anonymized usage) data collection,&#8221; Jaynes said.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Either way, I think having this data available would benefit the entire community, regardless of the obvious practicable application within core development.</p>\n<p>&#8220;All of that data can and should be used to inform decision-making in WordPress going forward. The core team really needs to hit the reset button on the concept of the 80/20 rule, including what and whom it represents.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We should be building modern WordPress for the modern WordPress user, and resting on Matt&#8217;s instincts coupled with the core team&#8217;s experience is no longer enough to maintain positive forward momentum.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Jaynes cites the editor as an example of where having the data would be helpful and that without it, pursuing an idealized &#8216;modern editor&#8217; in WordPress is premature. The data could also help provide insight into improving the new user experience.</p>\n<p>&#8220;A common complaint is that the WordPress admin can be really overwhelming to new users,&#8221; Jaynes said. &#8220;Having real data about how frequently the various core screens are used could really inform decisions about maybe paring it down, or hiding some things over time that are used less and less.&#8221;</p>\n<p>While collecting data could help with making informed decisions, he doesn&#8217;t think it should stop the core team from experimentation.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I think having real, citable data could really reduce the amount of backlash we&#8217;ve seen with a few releases in the last couple of years,&#8221; Jaynes said. &#8220;Areas where core team decisions left some group of users feeling jilted.&#8221;</p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s worth mentioning that there&#8217;s absolutely value in allowing the core team to experiment, as long as we&#8217;re careful not to latch onto something that got merged as the only way we&#8217;ll ever need to solve that problem; that&#8217;s where we get into trouble.&#8221;</p>\n<h2>Who Are The 80/20 Users of WordPress?</h2>\n<p>The most striking statement in Rand-Hendriksen&#8217;s proposal is that WordPress development is occurring without having any idea who the 80% or 20% of users are.</p>\n<p>&#8220;During the development of WordPress 4.7, I was involved in several conversations centered around <em>assumed use</em> of features,&#8221; Rand-Hendriksen said.</p>\n<p>&#8220;The general argument was that based on the 80/20 rule, certain features should be added while others should be removed. I kept bringing up the well-known fact we don’t have a clue what features 80%, or even 20%, of WordPress users actually use so any claim of validity in the 80/20 rule is guesswork at best.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Collecting usage data is standard practice. Microsoft Windows, Mozilla Firefox, Chrome, iOS, and a number of other software projects have opt-in data collection systems that are used to improve the product. They also provide insight into how customers are using their products.</p>\n<p>WordPress development on the other hand relies on the support forums, data collected from WordPress.com, limited user testing, verbal feedback at WordCamps, and other small data points. Collecting usage data from WordPress could show trends and provide evidence for changes related to the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/about/philosophy/\">decisions not options philosophy</a> of WordPress development.</p>\n<p>Collecting usage data isn&#8217;t going to solve all of WordPress&#8217; woes but having it available to make more informed decisions is better than not having any data at all. Although an opt-in data collection system in WordPress won&#8217;t be a core focus any time soon, it&#8217;s encouraging to see the idea has merit and is something some core developers are interested in seeing become a reality.</p>\n<p>I&#8217;d gladly opt-in and share my usage data with WordPress.org as long as it was anonymized and displayed publicly in aggregate.

The release was named for <a href=\"http://www.sanmatteopanuozzo.com/\" target=\"_blank\">San Matteo Panuozzo</a>, an NYC pizza restaurant that specializes in panuozzo, a more portable pizza-sandwich hybrid. Following suit with the previous release, 2.8 focuses on improvements for developers and site builders, the project&#8217;s new target audience as of 2016.</p>\n<p>As part of an effort to modernize the plugin&#8217;s codebase and prepare it for better integration with the BP REST API project, this release <a href=\"https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/buddypress-2-8-will-require-php-5-3/\" target=\"_blank\">boosts the minimum PHP requirement to 5.3</a>. In BuddyPress versions 2.7+, the plugin will display a notice in the dashboard if it detects that the server doesn&#8217;t meet the minimum requirements for running 2.8. The change is not likely to affect many BuddyPress sites as only a small sliver (5.7%) of WordPress sites are running on PHP 5.2.</p>\n<p>This release also adds a companion stylesheet for <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/themes/twentyseventeen/\" target=\"_blank\">Twenty Seventeen</a>. This stylesheet is important for providing a good first impression of BuddyPress for those who are trying try out the plugin with WordPress&#8217; latest default theme. A <a href=\"https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-theme-compatibility-and-the-wordpress-default-themes/twenty-seventeen-theme/\" target=\"_blank\">new BP codex page</a> gives sample code for changing Twenty Seventeen&#8217;s default two-column layout to be a full-width layout.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/buddypress-twenty-seventeen.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>The 2.8 release brings improvements to the “Activate Pending Accounts” screen, making it easier for site managers to confirm or reject new registrants. Clicking on the username of a pending account will now display profile data that the user entered at signup.</p>\n<p>Other improvements for developers include the following:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>New filters and actions for the Messages component</li>\n<li>Support for List-Unsubscribe header in emails</li>\n<li>More flexible Group search</li>\n<li>New filter enables choice of which PHPMailer should be used when sending BuddyPress emails</li>\n</ul>\n<p>BuddyPress 2.8 was made possible by 44 volunteer contributors.

Peter is a web developer from the Land of the Danes. He is the creator of <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wp-pusher-aims-to-provide-pain-free-deployment-of-wordpress-themes-and-plugins-from-github\" target=\"_blank\">WP Pusher</a> and a huge travel addict, bringing his work along with him as he goes.<br />\n&nbsp;</p>\n<hr />\n<p>In the last few years, a wave of virtualization technologies have swept through our WordPress development environments. The one that&#8217;s sounded the most promising to me has been Docker: lightweight and flexible. Yet, until recently, getting Docker up and running was an overwhelming task &#8211; especially on a non-Linux machine. If you managed to get it up and running in a virtual machine (using Vagrant or similar), getting port-forwarding to work would make you give up and just use Vagrant instead.</p>\n<p>Now it&#8217;s different.</p>\n<p>With (a stable) Docker for Mac and Windows and <a href=\"https://docs.docker.com/compose/\" target=\"_blank\">Docker Compose</a> at hand, getting Docker up and running is easy and pain-free. With Docker Compose you can tell Docker exactly what you want your WordPress development environment to look like and it will take care of it.</p>\n<h3>What is Docker?</h3>\n<p>Docker is a technology that makes it really simple to create isolated containers for your applications and websites to run in. These containers can be combined and modified to fit the needs of your applications. Docker is utilizing the Linux Containers technology (LXC) where multiple isolated environments can share the same Linux kernel &#8211; making it very lightweight compared to something like Vagrant.</p>\n<p>The Docker ecosystem is built around containers. In the Docker Hub, you can find an endless number of containers that other people have built or you can build your own using a Dockerfile. When building your own, you can start from scratch using the base Ubuntu image or extend someone else&#8217;s image.</p>\n<p>You can share local directories with your containers and link the networks, so they can talk to each other &#8211; just like you know it from other virtualization technologies. However, this is where it gets complicated which leads me to Docker Compose:</p>\n<h3>What is Docker Compose?</h3>\n<p>Docker Compose is what makes Docker available to mortals like you and me. As the name implies, Docker Compose is a tool for composing Docker containers. That means defining your services (containers), setting up the network between them, sharing local directories with them, and a few more things.</p>\n<p>With Docker Compose you create a simple file in the root of your project that describes the setup required by your application/website. For a WordPress theme that might mean a container to run WordPress, a container to run MySQL and a container to run Gulp or Grunt. This can very easily be defined in a docker-compose.yml file that can then be shared with your team members. This means that you can now share your WordPress theme, including an isolated WordPress environment to run it in. Hurray for virtualization!</p>\n<h3>Why use Docker?</h3>\n<p>There are a few reasons why Docker is an attractive technology for me. Here are the most important requirements I have for my development environment and how Docker solves them:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Clean Mac:</strong> In an ideal world, I prefer not to install anything related to my development environment directly on my Mac. I work on so many different projects that this gets unmanageable. When one thing works, another doesn&#8217;t. I also travel a lot and should something happen to my computer, I want to be able to set up a new machine in minutes.</li>\n<li><strong>Shareable:</strong> I often work in teams, so sharing my development environment with teammates is crucial. This is possible with Vagrant, but it&#8217;s still very tricky to keep environments in sync across teams.</li>\n<li><strong>Lightweight:</strong> This is important, especially when on the road. Try running a few Vagrant boxes compared to a few Docker containers and see what I mean.</li>\n<li><strong>Extendable:</strong> Extending Docker is very easy. For example, I could extend the official WordPress container and build it with WP Pusher pre-installed, since I (obviously) always use it.</li>\n<li><strong>Mirror production:</strong> My development environment needs to be as close to production as possible. With Docker this is easy, since Docker can be used in production as well.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>My Docker development environment</h3>\n<p>This is the very simple Docker setup I use for development of my WP Pusher plugin: A WordPress and a MySQL container. Both of them use the official Docker Hub images, so setting it up is very easy.</p>\n<p>My <code>docker-compose.yml</code> file looks like this:</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>It describes two services: a MySQL 5.7 database and WordPress running on PHP 5.6 and Apache. The database is using a volume on my local machine, so data will be persisted every time I shut off the container. My current directory (in this case a plugin) is mounted into the <code>wp-content/plugins</code> directory. This allows me to work on my plugin in a completely isolated WordPress environment &#8211; without installing anything, besides Docker, on my Mac. The WordPress container forwards port 80 to my local machine, so I can access it as &#8220;localhost&#8221; in my browser.</p>\n<p>If you want to try it for yourself, and have Docker installed on your machine, just add the file to your plugin (or theme) and run:</p>\n<p><code>$ docker-compose up -d</code></p>\n<p>In order to see which containers are running, just run:</p>\n<p><code>$ docker ps</code></p>\n<p>This a very simple setup that is easy to extend and build upon.</p>\n<p>I hope this post made you curious about Docker and WordPress.

Disqus CEO Daniel Ha said the company would release finalized pricing and provide more details well in advance of its planned March release, but users are reporting that the advertising has already been forced into their comments without warning.</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Why did <a href=\"https://twitter.com/disqus\">@disqus</a> just add a bunch of ads to my site without my permission? <a href=\"https://t.co/CzXTTuGs67\">https://t.co/CzXTTuGs67</a> <a href=\"https://t.co/y2QbFFzM8U\">pic.twitter.com/y2QbFFzM8U</a></p>\n<p>&mdash; Harry Campbell (@TheRideShareGuy) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/TheRideShareGuy/status/826921387273052160\">February 1, 2017</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<p>&#8220;We are one of the lucky 5% who now has to pay if we don&#8217;t want really irrelevant and horribly spammy links just plopped on our site with zero warning,&#8221; BabyCenter Social Media Manager Dina Vernon Freeman said. &#8220;Unless our users (mainly millennial parents) should care about overpaying for dentures! We&#8217;re looking for other platforms ASAP.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Brian O&#8217;Neill, who manages Slugger O&#8217;Toole, a site with more than 70,000 readers, was also hit with unwanted advertising on his site.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Disqus has started to put ads into our comments section of our site without even telling us,&#8221; O&#8217;Neill said in a <a href=\"https://sluggerotoole.com/2017/02/02/bear-with-us-as-we-try-to-remove-those-terrible-disqus-ads-from-the-comments-area/\" target=\"_blank\">post</a> explaining the new ads to the site&#8217;s readers. &#8220;As you can imagine I am extremely annoyed at this – I hate crappy online ads as much as you do. Supposedly we can remove the ads if we pay them $10 a month, but as yet there is no mechanism on their site to do this.&#8221; O&#8217;Neill said he is also exploring alternative commenting systems if he is unable to remove the advertising.</p>\n<p>Disqus responded to user complaints with a post to clarify that <a href=\"https://blog.disqus.com/advertising-will-remain-optional-for-over-95-of-sites-on-disqus\" target=\"_blank\">advertising will remain optional for more than 95% of the sites on Disqus</a>.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Larger, commercial, sites that elect to use the free version of Disqus will be supported by configurable advertising and have the option to earn revenue through the Reveal program,&#8221; Disqus Marketing Manager Mario Paganini said. &#8220;For small, non-commercial sites, advertising will be optional. These sites will be able to use Disqus’ ads-optional subscription, free of charge.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Publishers asked in the comments when the option to pay to remove ads will become available, as an option to pay isn&#8217;t currently in place.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Larger sites will be able to run a paid subscription version of Disqus that includes the ability to remove ads along with additional features,&#8221; Paganini said. &#8220;We are aiming to have this available in the next couple of months. We will be making periodic updates on our blog and talking to publishers in the meantime.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Disqus is moving to focus on its larger publishers but has already attracted angry criticism from publishers that were not properly informed of the changes. Over the years the company has experimented with different ways of monetizing the commenting platform, often frustrating users in the process of making important changes.</p>\n<p>In 2014, Disqus began experimenting with advertising in the form of &#8220;Sponsored Comments&#8221; that users could not turn off without contacting support. This move drew <a href=\"https://ma.tt/2014/11/disqus-spam-ads/\" target=\"_blank\">criticism from WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg</a> who essentially called out the ads as little more than comment spam. After a negative reaction from its community, Disqus quietly discontinued the Sponsored Comments and scrubbed the <a href=\"https://blog.disqus.com/heads-up-were-testing-a-new-form-of-advertising\" target=\"_blank\">announcement post</a> from the internet.</p>\n<h3>Disqus Delivers Low-Quality Ads</h3>\n<p>Disqus has struggled to land on an effective advertising model that will convince users to get on board. Its <a href=\"https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/2069645-reveal-f-a-q-\" target=\"_blank\">Reveal advertising program</a> is notorious for serving low-quality ads and has inspired little confidence in users who have tried it. The following is one of the tamer examples:</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/disqus-ads.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>&#8220;I think if you had somewhat decent advertising you might convince people that it&#8217;s worth it, but I had to yank it from one of my sites because it was all &#8216;Ron Paul wants you to buy gold!&#8217; and &#8217;22 times the photos showed too much!\'&#8221; Paul King, an author who writes for multiple publications, commented on Disqus&#8217; most recent advertising announcement. &#8220;Just put in a tier of non-spam advertising that&#8217;s actually relevant or charge based on comments or something.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Twitter is filled with complaints from users who are dissatisfied with the questionable quality of Disqus&#8217; advertising. Many are searching for alternatives.</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https://twitter.com/disqus\">@disqus</a> We\'ve disabled ads straight away (they are literally ALL scams) &#8211; if you force those ads on us, we\'re dropping you like a hot potato</p>\n<p>&mdash; That\'s Nonsense (@thatsnonsense) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/thatsnonsense/status/828739990486208512\">February 6, 2017</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Why <a href=\"https://twitter.com/disqus\">@disqus</a> think it\'s acceptable to serve disgusting, misogynistic ads (OR ANY ADS) on people\'s blogs without asking is beyond me.</p>\n<p>&mdash; Rosie (@RosieLondoner) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/RosieLondoner/status/828642646478426112\">February 6, 2017</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I\'m removing <a href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/disqus?src=hash\">#disqus</a> from <a href=\"https://t.co/PSlovlA6Tm\">https://t.co/PSlovlA6Tm</a> since they\'ve suddenly turned on (notably creepy) ads with no warning.</p>\n<p>&mdash; James Britt <img src=\"https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/2.2.1/72x72/1f3a7.png\" alt=\"?\" class=\"wp-smiley\" /> (@jamesbritt) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/jamesbritt/status/826922670407172096\">February 1, 2017</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<p>This recent move to turn on advertising without publishers&#8217; permission is another communication blunder in the same vein as the previous attempt at Sponsored Comments. Disqus has failed to find a communication strategy that respects users&#8217; content while leading the company towards its goals at the same time. With spam-quality ads deploying network-wide, the company can certainly expect that some users will be willing to pay the $10/month to turn them off. Sadly, the experience of paying to turn off offensive ads feels more like getting mugged on your way to work than upgrading your service.</p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/disqus-comment-system/\" target=\"_blank\">Disqus Comment System</a> plugin has been hovering around 200,000 active sites for the past two years and its ratings continue to plummet on WordPress.org. Unless Disqus is able to dramatically improve its advertising network before its official March release, we may see a mass exodus to other commenting systems.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";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, 18 Feb 2017 00:16:13 +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:36;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: How to Check if Installed Plugins Are No Longer in the Plugin Directory\";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=66106\";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/how-to-check-if-installed-plugins-are-no-longer-in-the-plugin-directory\";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:9904:\"<p>When we wrote about <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/why-plugins-sometimes-disappear-from-the-wordpress-plugin-directory\">why plugins sometimes disappear</a> from the WordPress plugin directory, it generated a healthy discussion in the comments. One of the topics of discussion brought up is whether or not <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/why-plugins-sometimes-disappear-from-the-wordpress-plugin-directory#comment-209733\">users should be notified</a> when a plugin disappears and if so, how?</p>\n<p>Currently, when a plugin is hidden on the directory, users are not notified. If it&#8217;s removed due to a security vulnerability and the author chooses not to fix it or move the plugin somewhere else such as <a href=\"https://github.com/\">GitHub</a>, users are left in the dark.</p>\n<p>Donna Cavalier shared a <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-is-missing-on-the-wordpress-org-directory/\">recent example</a> of why users should be notified. Contact Form DB is a popular plugin that saves contact form submissions from many popular Contact Forms plugins to the database. As of <a href=\"https://web.archive.org/web/20161030050515/https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7-to-database-extension/\">October 30th, 2016</a>, it was actively installed on more than 400K sites.</p>\n<p>Approximately <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-is-missing-on-the-wordpress-org-directory/\">one month ago</a>, the plugin was hidden due to a security vulnerability. Instead of releasing a patch, Michael Simpson, creator of Contact Form DB, moved the plugin <a href=\"https://github.com/mdsimpson/contact-form-7-to-database-extension/releases\">to GitHub</a> and subsequently released a <a href=\"https://github.com/mdsimpson/contact-form-7-to-database-extension/releases/tag/v2.10.30\">new version</a> that patched the vulnerability. Simpson says the person on the plugin review team that he spoke with was condescending, unprofessional, and rubbed him the wrong way.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I’m happy to address any issues and meet any standards, but I’m at the limit of my patience,&#8221; Simpson said.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I try to be a good citizen and give back to the community. I’ve put in countless hours for close to seven years now. When I’m treated like this, it seems WordPress doesn’t value me or my contribution to its community.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Anyway, I put the code on GitHub and I will continue to support it. But at this point I’m not sure I want to deal with people like this to re-list the plugin on this site. I don’t need the frustration.&#8221;</p>\n<p><strong>If you use Contact Form DB, please <a href=\"https://github.com/mdsimpson/contact-form-7-to-database-extension/releases/tag/v2.10.30\">update to 2.10.30</a> as soon as possible as it contains the aforementioned security fix.</strong></p>\n<p>It&#8217;s impossible for Contact Form DB users to automatically install updates from GitHub without installing an <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/github-updater-4-1-to-add-remote-installation-for-wordpress-plugins-and-themes\">updater plugin</a>. This leaves thousands of sites at risk.</p>\n<h2>How to Know When Installed Plugins Are No Longer in the Directory</h2>\n<p>In the comments of <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/why-plugins-sometimes-disappear-from-the-wordpress-plugin-directory\">our article</a>, Tavern reader Central Geek <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/why-plugins-sometimes-disappear-from-the-wordpress-plugin-directory#comment-209776\">shared links</a> to a couple of plugins aimed at providing useful information such as, whether a <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/vendi-abandoned-plugin-check/\">plugin has been abandoned</a> and <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-plugin-compatibility-control/\">better plugin compatibility information</a>.</p>\n<p>One of the plugins he mentions is called <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/no-longer-in-directory/\">No Longer in Directory, </a>developed by <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/whitefirdesign/\">White Fir Design</a>. The plugin adds a page to the WordPress backend that informs users if any of the plugins that are installed are available in the plugin directory. It also separately lists installed plugins that haven&#8217;t been updated in two years or more.</p>\n<p><img /></p>\n<p>The check is performed using the plugin directory&#8217;s folder name. The author notes that this could lead to plugins that have never been in the plugin directory to be flagged if they use the same name as a plugin that was in the directory in the past. If you encounter this situation, you&#8217;re encouraged to create a new thread on the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/no-longer-in-directory\">plugin&#8217;s support forum</a>.</p>\n<p>So far, No Longer in Directory is actively installed on more than 1K sites. Out of a total of <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/no-longer-in-directory/reviews/\">six reviews</a>, its average rating is 4.8 out of 5 stars. I tested the plugin with WordPress 4.8 alpha and didn&#8217;t encounter any issues.</p>\n<p>If this is a feature you&#8217;d like to see implemented in WordPress, consider <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/ideas/topic/alert-when-installed-plugins-have-been-removed-from-the-plugin-directory\">voting for it</a>. So far, the idea has 43 votes with a five-star average rating. <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/ipstenu\">Mika Epstein</a>, Plugin Directory Representative, <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/ideas/topic/alert-when-installed-plugins-have-been-removed-from-the-plugin-directory#post-22481\">responded to the idea</a> four years ago noting that it was being worked on.</p>\n<p>As Epstein mentioned in our previous article, explaining WHY a plugin has been closed is complex.</p>\n<p>“Obviously the last thing we want are people getting hacked, but it presents us with a few options and they all have flaws,&#8221; she said.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We’ve not been able to determine a way to tell people ‘This plugin is gone, don’t use it’ and ‘This plugin is gone, but use it if you want.’ without putting users at risk.”</p>\n<h2>If a Plugin Is Permanently Removed From the Directory, Users Should Be Notified</h2>\n<p>I believe users should be informed if a plugin is permanently removed from the directory. It doesn&#8217;t make sense to notify users if it&#8217;s temporarily hidden due to violating a guideline or a security issue. Plus, between upgrade and admin notices, users are receiving enough notifications as it is.</p>\n<p>I&#8217;m unsure if the notification should be an admin notice as we&#8217;ve <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/please-stop-abusing-wordpress-admin-notices\">already documented</a> how plugin authors are using them to advertise. Users are increasingly getting annoyed by them and they&#8217;re usefulness is in decline.</p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also the question as to who is responsible for informing users. This responsibility should fall squarely on the plugin author. If I was a plugin author and not interested in someone <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/adopt-me-plugin-tag-is-now-in-use-on-wordpress-org\">adopting my plugin</a> and wanted it removed from the directory, I&#8217;d do so by pushing out one last update.</p>\n<p>I&#8217;d explain in the plugin&#8217;s description and changelog that support and updates would no longer occur and that users should seek alternatives. I might even suggest a few that come to mind. Then, after about a month, I&#8217;d submit a request to the plugin review team to permanently remove it.</p>\n<p>This would give users a heads up and plenty of time to seek out an alternative. The Post Template plugin is a good example of this idea in action. Here is the notice it displayed on all of its settings pages before it disappeared.</p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Since version 4.0.0, the plugin has been released under a commercial license. New features such as addition of custom fields to the templates have been added. Furthermore, this version is discontinued, which means that no further bug fixes, new features and compatibility fixes for new WordPress versions will be implemented. If you want to buy the latest version of Post Template, please visit the plugin web page.</strong></p></blockquote>\n<p>By notifying users ahead of time, the responsibility shifts to the user to find an alternative.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-is-missing-on-the-wordpress-org-directory/page/2/#post-8726059\">Simpon </a>said he&#8217;ll work to get the plugin re-listed but it may take some time as he&#8217;s swamped with work. At the time of publishing, <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7-to-database-extension/\">the plugin</a> is not available on WordPress.org.</p>\n<h2>An Unfortunate Situation for Users of Contact Form DB</h2>\n<p>While <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-is-missing-on-the-wordpress-org-directory/page/2/\">users sympathized</a> with Simpson over his decision, I think it&#8217;s partly irresponsible. If a plugin has a security vulnerability, patching it and making it available as soon as possible should take precedence over how one feels about a situation.</p>\n<p>Instead of putting aside differences and pushing out an update to patch a security vulnerability, Simpson chose to move the plugin and the patched version to GitHub. The decision not to work with the plugin review team has put thousands of sites at risk with no easy way for users to update.</p>\n<p>Hopefully, Simpson will work with the team to get a patched version of Contact Form DB back onto the directory as soon as possible. Until then, if you use Contact Form DB, please <a href=\"https://github.com/mdsimpson/contact-form-7-to-database-extension/releases/tag/v2.10.30\">update to 2.10.30</a> manually as it patches the security vulnerability.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 17 Feb 2017 08:52:15 +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:37;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:87:\"WPTavern: WPWeekly Episode 263 – Plugins Disappearing, WordCamp Miami, and OSTraining\";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=66103&preview=true&preview_id=66103\";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/wpweekly-episode-263-plugins-disappearing-wordcamp-miami-and-ostraining\";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:3129:\"<p>In this episode, <a href=\"http://marcuscouch.com/\">Marcus Couch</a> and I discuss the news making headlines including, WordCamp Miami in its 9th year, OSTraining partnering with GoDaddy to release training videos, and why plugins sometimes disappear from the WordPress plugin directory.

This second iteration of the event was a great one, with informative, diverse talks, a laid back atmosphere, and it was very well organized &#8212; which is especially impressive considering the challenges that mother nature caused. As an added bonus, you can now <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLod7ww284cBH0DZshlVXRR5XtpaIZXfTF\">watch all the talks for free</a>.</p>\n<p>Originally planned for Miami last year, LoopConf was postponed due to a hurricane in southern Florida &#8212; hence the &#8220;.1&#8221; above &#8212; and rescheduled closer to organizer Ryan Sullivan&#8217;s home in Salt Lake City. Despite the postponement, most attendees were still able to make it, and some folks (like me) could only go to the newly scheduled event.</p>\n<p>Salt Lake City was unseasonably warm, making it a pleasant few days, mixed with great food and company. It was also a pleasure to be able to meet more people from local companies, including the newly minted BlueHost and MOJO headquarters downtown.</p>\n<p>Post Status was at LoopConf as a media partner, and <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/profiles/brian-richards/\">Brian Richards</a> and I took a lot of pictures, as well as several video interviews.</p>\n<h3>What to know about LoopConf</h3>\n<p>In our first video interview, Ryan talked about the origins of LoopConf, and described what he hoped attendees would get out of the event:</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>I hope to see a future LoopConf 3, and I think the venue and atmosphere worked really well in Salt Lake City.</p>\n<h3>A small sampling of valuable talks</h3>\n<p>There were many great talks. I didn&#8217;t attend them all, as I was working on other stuff for much of the two days, but the feedback was pretty universally positive, and every talk I did attend, I found valuable.</p>\n<h4>The competitive landscape for WordPress</h4>\n<p><img /></p>\n<p>The first day kicked off with a great talk by Pantheon co-founder Josh Koenig, who spoke on the <a href=\"https://youtu.be/BsKkFf4vDyw?list=PLod7ww284cBH0DZshlVXRR5XtpaIZXfTF\">competitive landscape for WordPress</a>, including opportunities and risks. It was a really excellent start to the event.</p>\n<h4>Empathetic communication</h4>\n<p><img /></p>\n<p>I met Sharon Steed prior to her talk, and she spoke about <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ke9hfBKebxc\">empathetic communication</a>. And due to her own journey as a communicator, going through life with a stutter, it has impacted how she thinks about communication and how she advises her clients.</p>\n<p>There were two quotes I loved: &#8220;Technology cannot replace the social aspect of face-to-face communication.&#8221; And, &#8220;Silence kills collaboration.&#8221; I think greater empathy in our ecosystem and society in general is pivotal.</p>\n<h3>Put an &#8220;S&#8221; on it</h3>\n<p><img /></p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know anyone who knows more about HTTPS than Zack Tollman, who directed the effort to make WIRED&#8217;s website fully HTTPS. They learned many lessons, and he <a href=\"https://youtu.be/McAzEj2iXaA?list=PLod7ww284cBH0DZshlVXRR5XtpaIZXfTF\">shares them in his outstanding talk</a>.</p>\n<h4>Bootstrapping a WordPress business</h4>\n<p><img /></p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/jason-cohen-wp-engine-founder/\">most recent podcast</a> episode featured a video interview and extended audio interview with <a href=\"https://wpengine.com\">WP Engine</a> founder and LoopConf keynote speaker Jason Cohen, which I highly recommend you check out. Jason is full of knowledge, and my interview with him pairs well with his keynote talk.</p>\n<p>Jason&#8217;s talk will certainly get you thinking about whether you should raise your prices, that&#8217;s for sure.</p>\n<h4>Watch them all!</h4>\n<p>Don&#8217;t take my word for which talks to see. I just feature these because I got a lot out of them in the moment. However, in general I found this lineup to be one of the most proficient groups of speakers I&#8217;ve seen yet at a WordPress event.</p>\n<p>Check out <a

I chatted with several core contributors and developers about specific experiences they&#8217;ve had with WordPress. Keep an eye out for those!</p>\n<h3>A fun, niche event with a lot of value</h3>\n<p>LoopConf was pretty laid back, and did a lot of things really well.</p>\n<p>For one, I&#8217;m super jealous of how quickly they got the videos uploaded, and they&#8217;ve generously made them available for free for everyone. Also, there were no noticeable event hiccups, and the team was always available to help with whatever attendees may need.</p>\n<p>The venue itself was really nice, as you can hopefully see in the pictures, and the whole place was laid out in a way that made both the talks and the hallway track highly accessible. And sponsors were in the center of the whole event, which was great.</p>\n<p>I found that the size of the event (I&#8217;d guess around 200 people) made it so that conversations were easy to have, and we were able to go in-depth. And because everything from breakfast to dinner to the after party were at the venue, it made everything super convenient.</p>\n<p>If and when there&#8217;s a LoopConf 3, you should go! I&#8217;ve also found this general theme to be true at other niche WordPress events &#8212; including <a href=\"https://adayofrest.hm\">A Day of REST</a> (specific to the REST API in WordPress, which you should go to next month!) and <a href=\"https://pressnomics.com\">PressNomics</a> (a WordPress business event, which you should go to in April!), and even my own <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/publish\">Publish</a> event (which may have a second iteration later this year).</p>\n<p>To learn more about LoopConf, <a href=\"https://loopconf.com/\">check out the website</a>.

Arciszewski has since retracted the post but you can <a href=\"http://web.archive.org/web/20170214062414/https://medium.com/@CiPHPerCoder/stopmullware-on-the-security-of-27-of-the-websites-on-the-internet-298a7e5b6871\">read it</a> via the Wayback Machine.</p>\n<p>Arciszewski is working on a project known as <a href=\"https://download.libsodium.org/doc/\">libsodium</a>, a core extension to PHP 7.2 which allows for encryption, decryption, signatures, password hashing and more. Its goal is to enable developers to build higher-level cryptographic tools.</p>\n<p>WordPress&#8217; automatic update system is handled through api.wordpress.org. Since updates do not have a digital signature, if api.wordpress.org were compromised, attackers could send malicious updates to thousands or millions of sites. This scenario was at the forefront of people&#8217;s minds late last year after Wordfence <a href=\"https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2016/11/hacking-27-web-via-wordpress-auto-update/\">published details</a> of a complex security vulnerability that could have compromised the update servers.</p>\n<p>Arciszewski suggests offline code signing and elliptic curve cryptography as solutions, &#8220;The key that can produce a valid signature for a file isn’t stored on the server (only the file itself and a valid signature are), so even if the server gets hacked, attackers can’t just add trojan horse malware to the file,&#8221; he said.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://php.net/manual/en/book.openssl.php\">OpenSSL</a> is an extension of PHP and is commonly used as public-key cryptography but it only supports RSA which Arciszewski deems inadequate. Since WordPress is written in PHP and supports versions 5.2-7+, Arciszewski needed to create a solution that was as compatible. This inspired him to create <a href=\"http://web.archive.org/web/20170214062414/https://github.com/paragonie/sodium_compat\">sodium_compat</a> that adds <a href=\"https://ed25519.cr.yp.to/\">Ed25519 signature verification</a> to WordPress&#8217; automatic updater.</p>\n<p>Arciszewski submitted a number of patches to WordPress but was told by Dion Hulse, WordPress core developer, that the sodium_compat library could not be merged into core until it passed a security audit by a third-party. Audits can cost a lot of money so Arciszewski&#8217;s plan was to see if Automattic could take on some of the cost or crowd-source the funds. However, his project was put on hold after Mullenweg informed Hulse to stop working on the feature as it&#8217;s not related to the three core focus areas of the Editor, Customizer, and the REST API.</p>\n<p>Arciszewski described the decision as irresponsible and that every user has a reason to be alarmed, &#8220;The WordPress team has shown that they are not responsible enough to govern their impressive ownership of the Internet (with the exception of some folks powerless to correct the organization’s course),&#8221; he said. &#8220;This act of negligence <em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">will</em> put the rest of the web in harm’s way.&#8221;</p>\n<h2>Update Signing is Important but Not a Priority</h2>\n<p>Mullenweg <a href=\"https://medium.com/@photomatt/wordpress-and-update-signing-51501213e1\">responded to the post</a> on Medium.com with one of his own and reiterated the WordPress development team&#8217;s commitment to security.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Everyone involved takes their responsibility very seriously, and the growth of WordPress has meant many thoughtful, hard-working people have gotten involved and think of the security of WP sites holistically, from every angle,&#8221; he said.</p>\n<p>Mullenweg also clarified what attacks would be stopped by implementing digital signatures to WordPress updates.</p>\n<p>&#8220;It could stop a man in the middle attack, where someone modifies the update files on the network in between your blog and WordPress.org, or it could stop a situation where the part of .org that serves the update is compromised but the signing part isn’t, and someone decided to send out updates even though they know they’ll be rejected,&#8221; he said.</p>\n<p>The team is unaware of any WordPress sites that have been attacked this way. While the possibility exists, the extent of the damage would likely be limited. The update servers are monitored around the clock and since many large webhosting companies automatically scan their customer&#8217;s sites for malware, the malicious update would likely be discovered quickly.</p>\n<p>Mullenweg describes what would happen if an update server was compromised.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We would turn it off really quickly, notify the world there was an issue, fix the problem, turn it back on, and notify the specific sites or hosts as able,&#8221; he said. Although WordPress <a href=\"https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/cm-wordpress/all/all\">powers 27.5%</a> of the top 10 million sites tracked by Alexa, it&#8217;s highly unlikely that number of sites would be compromised.</p>\n<p>He goes on to say that there are easier ways to compromise a WordPress site and listed the biggest issues to WordPress security based on impact.</p>\n<ol class=\"postList\">\n<li id=\"6e1f\" class=\"graf graf--li graf-after--p\">Sites not updating core.</li>\n<li id=\"8121\" class=\"graf graf--li graf-after--li\">Sites not updating plugins.</li>\n<li id=\"9cf6\" class=\"graf graf--li graf-after--li\">Sites not updating themes.</li>\n<li id=\"0f5b\" class=\"graf graf--li graf-after--li\">Weak passwords, without brute-force protection or two-factor authentication.</li>\n<li id=\"9601\" class=\"graf graf--li graf-after--li\">Hosts (professional or ad-hoc) not scanning and fixing sites.</li>\n<li id=\"3b2e\" class=\"graf graf--li graf-after--li\">Hypothetical issues not seen in practice, which distract from the above existing priorities.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Mullenweg confirms that he offered to donate to the audit of sodium_compat a day before Arciszewski published his post. Even if the library passed an audit, the code couldn&#8217;t immediately be added to core, &#8220;You would also need to do some significant work on the server-side to isolate the signing from the update server, so it’s worthwhile in the first place,&#8221; he said.</p>\n<p>And if the code were added to core, only the sites that updated to the version that has the cryptographic library and the update checking would be able to take advantage of it. WordPress.org would still need to send updates to older versions that don&#8217;t have update checking. These sites would still be vulnerable to receiving a malicious update.</p>\n<p>Mullenweg says that digital signatures and update signing will end up in WordPress eventually but it&#8217;s not a priority as there are other security issues in front of it, &#8220;We are prioritizing those issues above a nice-to-have, defense in-depth effort,&#8221; he said.</p>\n<p>&#8220;A good approach would be to build the server-side first, because doing that properly, say with an <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_security_module\">HSM</a>, is the difficult and important part; then get the packages signed; then test out verification in a plugin because we don’t want to break auto-updates; and then finally merge into core and set the client to reject non-signed updates. On the client side we need to pick a cryptography library, and get it audited.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Mullenweg ended his post explaining why he published his response on Medium instead of his <a href=\"http://ma.tt\">personal site</a>. &#8220;Seems to be the most popular place for rants like this. I also wanted to try out the famous Medium editor,&#8221; he said.</p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s Next For sodium_compat</h2>\n<p>While the prospects don&#8217;t look good for his library being added to WordPress in 2017, Arciszewski says there are plenty of other PHP projects that could benefit from it, &#8220;For their sake, I’m still strongly inclined to pursue an independent third-party cryptography audit, and attempt to crowd-fund the cost,&#8221; he said.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";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, 15 Feb 2017 23:48:41 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i: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:49:\"BuddyPress: BuddyPress 2.8.0 – “San Matteo”\";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:32:\"https://buddypress.org/?p=263791\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:59:\"https://buddypress.org/2017/02/buddypress-2-8-0-san-matteo/\";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:8634:\"<p>BuddyPress 2.8.0 &#8220;San Matteo&#8221; is now available for download from the WordPress.org plugin repository, or right from your WordPress Dashboard. &#8220;San Matteo&#8221; focuses on various improvement for developers, site builders and site managers.</p>\n<h2 class=\"headline-title\">For Developers &amp; Site Builders</h2>\n<h3 class=\"headline-title\">Modernizing the Codebase</h3>\n<p>To continue the migration of legacy code to modern standards and techniques necessary for the <code>BP REST API</code> project and other new features moving forward, <a href=\"https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/buddypress-2-8-will-require-php-5-3/\">BuddyPress 2.8 requires at least PHP 5.3</a>.

A client requested I use WordPress and a Revolution theme they’d purchased to build their new site. When I was done, I submitted it to the theme showcase, and Brian Gardner reached out to tell me how much he’d liked it.</p>\n<p>I continued working with Brian and his themes as Revolution became Revolution 2, and then StudioPress and Genesis. That led to me designing and developing Family Tree, one of the first commercial themes targeted at women entrepreneurs. It was released in May of 2011.</p>\n<p>Right around the release of my first theme, Brian asked if I was going to be at WordCamp San Francisco. There was going to be a Genesis Connect event there, and he wanted me to be there. I really wanted to go, but didn’t know how I was going to pull it off.</p>\n<p>See, after a years long struggle I had recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.</p>\n<blockquote><p>I was trying to rebuild my design career with WordPress, but I was really struggling.</p></blockquote>\n<p>I felt like flying to San Francisco to see my internet friends was a luxury I couldn’t afford.</p>\n<p>But when I mentioned it to my wife, she told me we’d find a way. She started hitting travel sites and found a cheap airline ticket. Then she went on AirBnB and booked me a couch in the lobby of an art gallery in the Tenderloin&#8211;it was the cheapest thing we could find. I left on August 11, 2011, three days before my 40th birthday.</p>\n<h3>My first day of WordCamp SF was a nightmare</h3>\n<p>I have pretty severe social anxiety, so my plan was to maintain a low profile and keep to myself until I could meet up with some of my Genesis friends. About 20 minutes into the first talk I went to I was totally lost, so I thought I’d sneak out and hit lunch early. It seemed like a solid plan.</p>\n<p>My foot had fallen asleep during the presentation, though, and as I stood up to sneak out my ankle buckled and I fell. Every head in the auditorium whipped around to stare at me slowly rolling down the aisle. It was painfully obvious to me that not only did I not belong, but I had just made a very public ass of myself and was mortified.</p>\n<h3>Then the WordPress Community stepped in</h3>\n<p>There was already a huge crowd in the courtyard when I managed to slink out of the auditorium. I felt like someone had dropped me back into my junior high cafeteria. I stood in the massive line, wanting nothing more than to find a quiet corner to nurse my wounded pride, call my wife, maybe cry a little, and tell her that coming had been a huge waste of time and money.</p>\n<blockquote><p>If that’s how my day had panned out, my WordPress story might have been a lot different. Instead, I ran into my first ambassador of the WordPress community.</p></blockquote>\n<p>This kind of goofy guy in front of me started chatting me up.</p>\n<p>I told him it was my first WordCamp. He asked me where I was from, and we discovered we lived maybe an hour away from each other: me in San Diego, him in Orange County. He invited me to eat lunch with his group. And that’s how I wound up sitting at a table eating lunch with Steve Zehngut and his crew.</p>\n<p>These people were more like me: marketers and designers, theme authors and SEO specialists, food bloggers and digital nomads. I started to feel like I might belong there, after all. The phone call I made to my wife after lunch was about how much fun I was having, and how many cool people I was meeting.</p>\n<p>Later that day I went to dinner with the crew from Genesis and met even more amazing people I’d only known online. After that, there was a huge Genesis Connect happy hour. The more people I met and talked to, the more friends I made. On Sunday, before one of the final presentations, an auditorium of my new friends sang “Happy Birthday” to me. (I won’t lie&#8211;it was cool but also almost as embarrassing as falling down the first day, lol!)</p>\n<h3>One person can make a difference</h3>\n<p>If Steve hadn’t asked me to eat lunch with his group that day, I might have never gone to another WordCamp. Instead, when WordCamp San Diego 2012 came around Dre Armeda encouraged me to submit a speaker application, and I gave my first talk. For six years now I’ve spoken at every local WordCamp that’s accepted my speaker application, trying to inspire other people to get and stay involved in our community.</p>\n<p>I spent some time looking at the 2011 WCSF attendees list when I was writing this essay. Some of my best friends (and best WordCamp stories) can be directly linked to that list. Even the people I may not have met at that event came into my life because of that event.</p>\n<h3>Six degrees of a lunch invitation</h3>\n<p>I don’t remember whether or not I met Alex Vasquez in San Francisco, but he’s one of the people who actually wants an honest answer when he asks how I’ve been. I’m pretty sure I didn’t meet Andy Stratton there, but I eventually travelled to Baltimore to speak at the WordCamp he and Drew Poland organized. I’m positive I didn’t cross paths with Karim Marucchi, but he eventually became my boss, mentor, and go-to puppy picture friend. And those are just the connections from one event that happened 6 years ago.</p>\n<blockquote><p>WordCamp San Francisco taught me that being a hero doesn’t have to be a huge, dramatic thing.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Sometimes the biggest heroes are the people who notice that someone else feels out of place, extend their hand, and welcome them in. Of all of the lessons I’ve learned in WordPress, that’s the most important one. Thanks, Steve!</p>\n<p><em>(P.S. If anyone knows where I can find some adult Superman Underoos in stock, LMK. WordCamp San Diego is coming up at the end of March, and I never got Steve a proper thank you gift.)</em></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: Not every hero wears a cape\" class=\"rtsocial-twitter-button\" href=\"https://twitter.com/share?text=Not%20every%20hero%20wears%20a%20cape&via=heropress&url=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fnot-every-hero-wears-cape%2F\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"></a></div></div><div class=\"rtsocial-fb-horizontal fb-light\"><div class=\"rtsocial-fb-horizontal-button\"><a title=\"Like: Not every hero wears a cape\" class=\"rtsocial-fb-button rtsocial-fb-like-light\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fnot-every-hero-wears-cape%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%2Fnot-every-hero-wears-cape%2F&title=Not+every+hero+wears+a+cape\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share: Not every hero wears a cape\"></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/not-every-hero-wears-cape/&media=https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/021517-150x150.jpg&description=Not every hero wears a cape\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pin: Not every hero wears a cape\"></a></div></div><a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"perma-link\" href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/not-every-hero-wears-cape/\" title=\"Not every hero wears a cape\"></a></div><p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/not-every-hero-wears-cape/\">Not every hero wears a cape</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, 15 Feb 2017 12:00:46 +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:10:\"Chris Ford\";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:42;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:86:\"WPTavern: Open Source Leadership Summit to Live Stream Keynote Sessions February 14-16\";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=66058\";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:97:\"https://wptavern.com/open-source-leadership-summit-to-live-stream-keynote-sessions-february-14-16\";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:1865:\"<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/open-source-leadership-summit.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>The Linux Foundation&#8217;s <a href=\"http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/open-source-leadership-summit\" target=\"_blank\">Open Source Leadership Summit</a> is happening in Lake Tahoe, CA, February 14-16, 2017.

There is usually a good reason for why this happens but the only information available to the public is a page that says the plugin cannot be found. If the plugin is popular enough, concerned users will <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/contact-me\">contact us</a> and ask to investigate what happened.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/ipstenu\">Mika Epstein</a>, Plugin Directory Representative, says there are a number of reasons for why a plugin can end up hidden from view, &#8220;The most well-known, but not the most common, is security issues,&#8221; Epstein said.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Plugins are removed and, by default, hidden mostly because we&#8217;re on bbPress 1.0 and there is not as granular a control with post statuses when compared to WordPress itself.&#8221;</p>\n<p>The plugin review team has three options to choose from when altering a plugin&#8217;s visibility, active, closed, and disabled. Although rarely used, when a plugin is disabled, it is hidden from view but updates are able to be pushed out.</p>\n<p>I asked Epstein why there&#8217;s not more detailed information when a plugin is hidden and the answer is complex, &#8220;The lack of information is partly technical as bbPress 1.0 is limited and partly because we can&#8217;t all agree on the <em>right</em> way to disclose, when to disclose, and when <em>not</em> to disclose,&#8221; she said.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Obviously the last thing we want are people getting hacked, but it presents us with a few options and they all have flaws. We&#8217;ve not been able to determine a way to tell people &#8216;This plugin is gone, don&#8217;t use it&#8217; and &#8216;This plugin is gone, but use it if you want.&#8217; without putting users at risk.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Epstein uses WooCommerce and Jetpack as examples, &#8220;Let&#8217;s say I close Jetpack today and tell people &#8216;WordPress decided not to support it anymore.&#8217; But tomorrow I close WooCommerce and tell people &#8216;I can&#8217;t tell you why.&#8217; That means an intelligent person knows that WooCommerce is <em>probably</em> vulnerable.&#8221;</p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a conundrum without an easy solution. The team typically closes plugins which makes the plugin&#8217;s page disappear. This has the added benefit of making it more difficult to determine if the plugin ever existed. Then the team contacts and works with the developer directly.</p>\n<p>Most closures are done with the knowledge of the plugin author as they are often the ones who request that their plugins be closed.</p>\n<h2>The New WordPress Plugin Directory Will Modernize Plugin Administration</h2>\n<p><a href=\"https://wptavern.com/new-wordpress-plugin-directory-now-in-open-beta\">Announced</a> at WordCamp Europe 2016, the WordPress plugin directory redesign has been in <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins-wp/\">open beta</a> for about eight months.</p>\n<img />WordPress Plugin Directory Redesign\n<p>In addition to bringing a fresh new look to plugin pages, the migration away from bbPress to WordPress will help make the plugin review team&#8217;s job easier, &#8220;Like far too many things in Plugin Land, everything depends on modernizing the backend to something that is functional.&#8221; Epstein said.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Once the new directory is out and I have some more people trained to do reviews properly, then we&#8217;ll have the bandwidth to sit down and really figure out a <strong>best</strong> solution.</p>\n<p>&#8220;A stopgap might be making the page say &#8216;This plugin is no longer available.&#8217; But I&#8217;m personally not sure if that would make FUD better or worse.&#8221;</p>\n<p>If you discover that a plugin you rely on has suddenly vanished from the directory, don&#8217;t panic.

The vulnerability was patched silently and disclosure was delayed for a week to give WordPress site owners a head start on updating to 4.7.2. Last week <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wordpress-rest-api-vulnerability-is-being-actively-exploited-hundreds-of-thousands-of-sites-defaced\" target=\"_blank\">hundreds of thousands of vulnerable sites had already been defaced</a> and the damage reports are still rolling in.</p>\n<p>Over the weekend the attacks increased and WordPress security firms have seen more attempts blocked by their firewalls. <a href=\"https://sucuri.net/\" target=\"_blank\">Sucuri</a>, the website security firm that reported the vulnerability to WordPress, was tracking the &#8220;Hacked by w4l3XzY3&#8221; campaign last week and estimated 66,000 defacements. That particular campaign has now passed 260,000 pages indexed by Google. It is one of nearly two dozen defacement campaigns targeting the vulnerability.</p>\n<p>&#8220;During the past 24 hours we have seen an average growth in defaced pages per campaign of 44%,&#8221; Wordfence CEO Mark Maunder <a href=\"https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2017/02/rapid-growth-in-rest-api-defacements/\" target=\"_blank\">said</a> on Friday. &#8220;The total number of defaced pages for all these campaigns, as indexed by Google has grown from 1,496,020 to 1,893,690. That is a 26% increase in total defaced pages in just 24 hours.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Maunder referenced a <a href=\"https://www.google.com/trends/explore?date=2017-01-01%202017-12-31&q=%22Hacked%20By%20MuhmadEmad%22,%22Hacked%20By%20SA3D%20HaCk3D%22,%22by%20w4l3XzY3%22,%22Hacked%20By%20Imam%22,%22Hacked%20By%20BALA%20SNIPER%22\" target=\"_blank\">Google Trends chart</a> which he said demonstrates the success the defacement campaigns have had over the past week. The spike began on the day WordPress disclosed the vulnerability.</p>\n<p> &q;</p>\n<p>However, White Fir Design, another company that offers security services, <a href=\"https://www.whitefirdesign.com/blog/2017/02/10/unreliable-claim-that-1-5-million-wordpress-pages-defaced-is-reminder-of-the-terribleness-of-security-companiesjournalists/\" target=\"_blank\">disputes Wordfence&#8217;s claims</a> that 1.8 million pages were hacked. The ~2  million pages figure is cited in reports from <a href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-38930428\" target=\"_blank\">BBC</a>, <a href=\"http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/3004423/wordpress-hacking-spree-sees-15-million-web-pages-defaced\" target=\"_blank\">The Enquirer</a>, <a href=\"https://arstechnica.com/security/2017/02/virally-growing-attacks-on-unpatched-wordpress-sites-affects-2m-pages/\" target=\"_blank\">Ars Technica</a>, <a href=\"http://www.cio.com/article/3168761/security/recent-wordpress-vulnerability-used-to-deface-1-5-million-pages.html\" target=\"_blank\">CIO.com</a>, and other publications. White Fir Design contends that the hacked pages that have been indexed by Google are not an accurate representation.</p>\n<p>Sucuri CTO Daniel Cid also does not fully agree with Wordfence&#8217;s assessment of the situation. After doing some research over the weekend, Sucuri estimates more than 50,000 sites hacked with 20-30 pages per site defaced. This would be roughly a million on the lower end of the estimate and ranges up to 1.5 million.</p>\n<p>Sucuri is also starting to see more serious attempts on the REST API vulnerability in the form of <a href=\"https://blog.sucuri.net/2017/02/rce-attempts-against-the-latest-wordpress-rest-api-vulnerability.html\" target=\"_blank\">remote code execution (RCE) attacks</a> on sites using plugins that allow for PHP execution from within posts and pages. One such campaign attempts to inject a PHP include to add content from a compromised site and then inject a backdoor hidden in /wp-content/uploads.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Defacements don’t offer economic returns, so that will likely die soon,&#8221; Cid said. &#8220;What will remain are attempts to execute commands (RCE) as it gives the attackers full control of a site – and offers multiple ways to monetize – and SPAM SEO / affiliate link / ad injections. We are starting to see them being attempted on a few sites, and that will likely be the direction this vulnerability will be misused in the coming days, weeks and possibly months.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Hackers are targeting any sites that haven&#8217;t updated to 4.7.2 &#8211; there doesn&#8217;t seem to be any pattern among them. A quick look at the Google results for the most active campaigns shows that compromised sites include blogs, media, government, education, sports, medical, and technology websites.</p>\n<h3>Why the REST API is Enabled by Default</h3>\n<p>The WordPress REST API is enabled by default, as the plan is for more admin and plugin functionality to rely on the REST API in the future. After the recent attacks, several users <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/02/01/disclosure-of-additional-security-fix-in-wordpress-4-7-2/#comment-32110\" target=\"_blank\">commented</a> on the vulnerability disclosure to ask why it is enabled by default.</p>\n<p>&#8220;The security issue is in a feature I do not use on any of my sites (REST API) and yet still, this feature is first enabled by default and second since WordPress 4.7 you even need a plugin – which could introduce further security issues – to disable the feature?&#8221; one user (@helios2121) <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/02/01/disclosure-of-additional-security-fix-in-wordpress-4-7-2/#comment-32123\" target=\"_blank\">commented</a> on the post. &#8220;Please rethink your approach to security. Make features that not everyone needs opt-in. Or <em>at least</em> give a way to opt out without requiring additional plugins.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Morten Rand-Hendriksen opened a trac ticket to discuss <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/39806#ticket\" target=\"_blank\">disabling the REST API by default</a> and only enabling it when the site admin requests it, or a theme or plugin is dependent on it.</p>\n<p>Core Committer Sergey Biryukov confirmed that the plan is to introduce more core functionality that relies on REST API. &#8220;Turning off the REST API is like turning off admin-ajax.php — both will break your site,&#8221; Biryukov said.</p>\n<p>Rand-Hendriksen asked why the content endpoints cannot be protected by default while allowing the REST API to be on by default for admin purposes. Another user asked why the Users endpoint isn&#8217;t protected by default (i.e. <a href=\"https://news.microsoft.com/wp-json/wp/v2/users\" target=\"_blank\">https://news.microsoft.com/wp-json/wp/v2/users</a> or <a href=\"https://www.obama.org/wp-json/wp/v2/users\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.obama.org/wp-json/wp/v2/users</a>), which &#8220;makes it easier than ever to get all the usernames&#8221; on any site using 4.7+.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/users-endpoint.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>&#8220;If you really want to disable the REST API on your site(s), this is our current recommendation: restrict it to authenticated users,&#8221; Core Committer James Nylen said. &#8220;However, we want to continue to increase adoption and usage of the REST API, and I expect that even this modification will break more and more WP functionality as time goes on, such as API-driven themes and embeds.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Nylen recommends the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-json-api/\" target=\"_blank\">Disable JSON API</a> plugin for those who want to follow that recommendation on sites using WordPress 4.7+. The plugin currently has more than 10,000 active installs.</p>\n<p>The WordPress security team worked diligently to mitigate the attacks by helping hosts and security firms put protections in place before the issue was made public. However, the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/02/01/disclosure-of-additional-security-fix-in-wordpress-4-7-2/\" target=\"_blank\">full disclosure of the vulnerability</a> was buried on the Make/Core blog, a site that is not widely read among regular WordPress site owners. The link to the disclosure was published as an addendum to <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2017/01/wordpress-4-7-2-security-release/\" target=\"_blank\">the previous post</a> on the WordPress news blog a week later.</p>\n<p>&#8220;While I appreciate the responsible disclosure of this issue and the effort to resolve it, I hope you consider making future announcements via a new post on the WordPress News site, rather than just appending an update to a previous post,&#8221; user @johnrork <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/02/01/disclosure-of-additional-security-fix-in-wordpress-4-7-2/#comment-32105\" target=\"_blank\">commented</a> on the official disclosure. &#8220;I am probably not the only one who could have avoided being compromised had this shown up as a new item in my RSS reader on Wednesday.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Those who read the Make blogs had a head start on fixing their own sites and/or their clients&#8217; sites. Those who depend on the WordPress news blog for information on security updates probably read the post when it was initially published and never returned to see the update a week later. An issue this severe warranted WordPress&#8217; transparency in a new post on its news blog. This would have also automatically sent out a tweet to more than half a million followers on the official WordPress account and the Facebook account which has more than a million likes.</p>\n<p>Fortunately, the number of vulnerable sites that also have plugins that could allow attackers to piggyback on this vulnerability is a much smaller number. Defaced sites are embarrassing but easy to fix. In most cases administrators need only update to 4.7.2 and roll back the defaced posts to the most recent revision. Most site owners have no idea how fast exploits begin to pop up after public disclosure, but this situation provided a gentle reminder of the importance of updating WordPress and the benefit of leaving automatic updates on.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";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, 13 Feb 2017 22:59:41 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"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:45;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:86:\"WPTavern: 10up Unveils ElasticPress.io: Elasticsearch as a Service for WordPress Sites\";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=65981\";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:96:\"https://wptavern.com/10up-unveils-elasticpress-io-elasticsearch-as-a-service-for-wordpress-sites\";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:7053:\"<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/elasticpress-logo.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://10up.com\" target=\"_blank\">10up</a> launched <a href=\"https://www.elasticpress.io/\" target=\"_blank\">ElasticPress.io</a> this week, its new Elasticsearch SaaS product with plans starting at $299/month. <a href=\"https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch\" target=\"_blank\">Elasticsearch</a> is an open source, distributed search engine that speeds up searching by using JSON documents to store data in indices. The indices store mapping fields to the corresponding documents and the engine searches the index instead of a site&#8217;s entire database.</p>\n<p>Elasticsearch can perform near-real-time searches and is highly scalable, but the setup is technically demanding. It is used by many large companies, such as GitHub, Soundcloud, Etsy, Netflix, Cisco, and Samsung. It is also one of the most popular enterprise search engines for WordPress sites, as searching WordPress tables with thousands or even millions of records is simply not going to be fast.</p>\n<p>The WordPress plugin directory has a dozen plugins for using and extending Elasticsearch but 10up&#8217;s <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/elasticpress/\" target=\"_blank\">ElasticPress</a> is by far the most popular with more than a thousand installs. After supporting the plugin for several years, along with many enterprise clients using Elasticsearch, 10up decided to create a hosted service that integrates with ElasticPress.</p>\n<p>&#8220;The reason we created this solution for our clients, and that we’re now making this public, is that we don’t think anyone has provided a super easy, end-to-end (plugin to hosted service) that offers all of the benefits of Elasticsearch and our ElasticPress plugin, while being completely agnostic to your site hosting,&#8221; 10up founder Jake Goldman said.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/elasticpress.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>ElasticPress.io is an end-to-end solution that is specifically tailored for those using the ElasticPress plugin. This is one of the key differences between managing your own Elasticsearch infrastructure with a service like AWS. ElasticPress.io controls both the hosting and the plugin, allowing the service to optimize performance for both.</p>\n<p>&#8220;There are a number of really neat use cases for ElasticPress on our roadmap that add either risk (security) or headaches (complicated setup and management procedures) if you can’t control both ends,&#8221; Goldman said. &#8220;For instance, there are optional Elasticsearch modules (just like there are optional Apache and Nginx modules) for features like indexing media that many hosted Elastic services don’t enable by default or support. We also want to be able to index and handle content that isn’t public, and many hosted Elastic services aren’t locked down / secured end-to-end with the website by default.&#8221;</p>\n<h3>How ElasticPress.io&#8217;s Pricing Compares to Competitors</h3>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.elastic.co/\" target=\"_blank\">Elastic</a>, the creators of Elasticsearch were one of the first companies to launch Elasticsearch as a service in 2012. Two years later the company raised $70 million in a Series C funding round. Dozens of other Elasticsearch as a service companies have sprouted up since then, with pricing ranging from under $20 to tens of thousands of dollars depending on the resources offered.</p>\n<p>The ElasticPress.io service is the first of its kind in the WordPress ecosystem. Most hosting companies do not have it built into their enterprise level plans. WordPress.com VIP is one of the few that offers Elasticsearch for sites on its <a href=\"https://vip.wordpress.com/our-services/#hosting-plans\" target=\"_blank\">plans</a> which range from $5,000 &#8211; $25,000 per month. WP Engine has an Elasticsearch solution as part of its <a href=\"https://wpengine-labs.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Labs program</a>, which is based on a fork of ElasticPress. However, the solution has not yet been officially added to the company&#8217;s enterprise plans.</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https://twitter.com/10up\">@10up</a> <a href=\"https://twitter.com/mgibbs189\">@mgibbs189</a> <a href=\"https://twitter.com/cabgfx\">@cabgfx</a> <a href=\"https://twitter.com/sbangnielsen\">@sbangnielsen</a> <a href=\"https://twitter.com/SearchWP\">@SearchWP</a> ElasticPress plus lower cost providers is still extremely powerful for under $12 a month</p>\n<p>&mdash; Scott Kingsley Clark (@scottkclark) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/scottkclark/status/830165095045033984\">February 10, 2017</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<p>For the most part, developers who have to implement Elasticsearch for a WordPress site are faced with hosting their own instance and managing it themselves. This is the most cost effective option but comes with a great deal more responsibility.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Elasticsearch is a quickly evolving platform, and they don’t exactly have the same commitment to infinite backwards compatibility that WordPress has these days,&#8221; Goldman said. &#8220;Major Elasticsearch upgrades can break old integrations. That means the site owner needs to either worry about automatic version upgrades breaking their site, or has to manage their upgrades carefully. By controlling the integration with Elastic on the website site and controlling the hosting, we can carefully handle version upgrades for customers while making sure nothing breaks.&#8221;</p>\n<p>10up is aiming at the higher end of the market where customers are looking for convenience and access to the creators of ElasticPress for support. Goldman anticipates many of those customers will be similar to the product&#8217;s existing customers who simply need a robust keyword search or related content engine that will &#8220;just work.&#8221; ElasticPress.io is also targeting smaller and mid-tier businesses that are experiencing performance bottlenecks with WordPress&#8217; native query engine.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Those customers are typically relying on rather complicated faceting / filtering of content, the classic use-case being a WooCommerce store where customers are constantly filtering on a handful of unique (unique = hard to cache) meta data all the time,&#8221; Goldman said. &#8220;That’s where ElasticPress really shines: our native WooCommerce support and optimization take those very taxing queries and makes them lightning fast.&#8221;</p>\n<p>As the service is fairly unique in the WordPress space, ElasticPress.io&#8217;s <a href=\"https://www.elasticpress.io/#pricing\" target=\"_blank\">pricing</a> has room to evolve as 10up learns from its customers. The plans currently range from $299 &#8211; $999 per month with increasing storage space and tiered support response times. Goldman said they haven&#8217;t ruled out other pricing points and may explore more pricing options in the future.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";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, 11 Feb 2017 06:33:32 +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:46;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:94:\"Post Status: Jason Cohen, founder of WP Engine, on growing your company well — 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=33802\";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:53:\"https://poststatus.com/jason-cohen-wp-engine-founder/\";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:2420:\"<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.

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>Interviewed for WordPress.tv</h2>\n<p>A few weeks ago, Marcus Couch and I were interviewed by John Parkinson. Parkinson is a volunteer moderator and performs community outreach for WordPress.tv. In the interview, we discuss the benefits of WordPress.tv, the WordPress community, WordCamps, and more. I encourage you to check out his <a href=\"https://blog.wordpress.tv/tag/interview/\">other community interviews</a> as well.</p>\n<p></p>\n<h2 class=\"selectionShareable\">WooCommerce and WordPress Used to Sell Stress Cubes</h2>\n<p>CNBC has <a href=\"http://www.cnbc.com/2017/01/30/a-24-year-old-made-345000-by-beating-kickstarters-to-market.html\">an interesting story</a> that features a 24-year-old who made $345K in two months selling <a href=\"https://stresscube.com/\">Stress Cubes</a>, a knock-off of the Fidget Cube. The Fidget Cube raised <a href=\"https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/antsylabs/fidget-cube-a-vinyl-desk-toy\">nearly 6.5M dollars</a> in crowdfunding money.</p>\n<p>The Fidget Cube experienced significant delays in shipping due to manufacturing issues. The 24-year-old contacted suppliers in China, purchased 1,000 plastic cubes, created a similar product, and shipped it to market before the Fidget Cube had a chance to reach backers. He used WordPress and WooCommerce to sell Stress Cubes grossing him nearly $350K in two months.</p>\n<h2>Why WordPress in Education</h2>\n<p>Jared Bennett <a href=\"https://dev.commons.hwdsb.on.ca/2017/02/08/why-wordpress-in-education/\">explains</a> how the <a href=\"http://www.hwdsb.on.ca/\">Hamilton Wentworth District School Board</a> uses WordPress.  &#8220;We run over 100 individual school websites on a WordPress Multisite Network, and back in May of 2011, we launched the HWDSB Commons: a second Multisite Network which now hosts over 8,000 blogs for over 30,000 users,&#8221; Bennett said.</p>\n<p>Bennett <a href=\"https://github.com/hwdsbcommons/\">shares links</a> to plugins the team created to solve specific issues such as comment moderation in BuddyPress and blocking specific modules in Jetpack. Since WordPress is free as in beer, it allows his school board to spend public money in a more responsible way.</p>\n<p>&#8220;In the WordPress ecosystem we operate in, I pay for functionality to be developed, and I share it openly on platforms like the WordPress plugin repository, or on sites like <a href=\"https://github.com/hwdsbcommons/\">Github,</a>&#8221; Bennett said.</p>\n<p>&#8220;The money you would have spent to enable the previously developed functionality, you can now spend on something else, something that I might benefit from. Think about how much more responsible this model is, particularly when we are talking about spending public money.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We are all contributing; and the community benefits from those contributions; and our money — and the functionality of our platforms — improves exponentially faster than if we were all spending our money paying the private company over and over for code that has already been paid for by previous customers.&#8221;</p>\n<p>To learn more about WordPress in education, listen to <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wpweekly-episode-261-wordpress-for-schools-with-cameron-barrett\">episode 261</a> of WordPress Weekly where we interview Cameron Barrett, founder of <a href=\"http://schoolpress.co/\">SchoolPresser, LLC</a>. Barrett explains how he negotiated and helped migrate Newark New Jersey’s public school system from a proprietary CMS to WordPress.</p>\n<h2>WP101 Plugin Now Has WooCommerce and Jetpack Videos</h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://wp101plugin.com/\">WP101 plugin</a> has added Jetpack and WooCommerce training videos.

The plugin was created nine years ago by <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/alanft/\">Alanft</a>. Prior to WPChef gaining commit access, the last time Widget Logic was updated was <a href=\"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/widget-logic/tags/0.57?rev=1592418\">two years ago</a>.</p>\n<p>After gaining access, WPChef released Widget Logic 5.7.0. This version fixed a PHP 7 compatibility issue, a conflict with WPML, added a new default load logic point, and a Ukrainian translation. In addition to bug fixes, a global admin notice to install Limit Login Attempts Reloaded was also added. Limit Login Attempts Reloaded is a separate plugin owned and maintained by WPChef.</p>\n<p><img />Limit Login Attempts Reloaded Admin NoticeThe wording of the notice and appearing globally caused some users to <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incorrect-widget-logic-team-security-recommendation/\">be concerned</a> or upset. Some users responded to the update by <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/widget-logic/reviews/?filter=1\">writing 1-star reviews</a>. After a user <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/taking-over-and-forking-this-plugin/#post-8781763\">described the notice</a> as sounding like fake news, WPChef changed it.</p>\n<h2>From SupportPress to Help Scout!</h2>\n<p>The WordPress.org community team is moving away from <a href=\"https://supportpress.com/\">SupportPress</a> to Help Scout.

Unlike the <a href=\"https://search.creativecommons.org/\" target=\"_blank\">current search tool</a>, which will only search one source by sending the visitor offsite, <a href=\"https://ccsearch.creativecommons.org/\" target=\"_blank\">CC Search</a> loads the results from multiple sources onsite.</p>\n<p>The Commons includes approximately 1.1 billion works in various formats &#8211; literary works, videos, photos, audio, scientific research, and other formats.

One-click attribution is built in, making it easy for users to properly attribute the works.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/cc-search.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>As Creative Commons is a small organization and fairly lean on resources, the new search was built by a single contractor over seven months. Software engineer Liza Daly was selected to <a href=\"https://hackernoon.com/cc-search-developer-notes-and-reflection-418271194682#.6f8mudh02\" target=\"_blank\">research and build a proof-of-concept for CC Search</a>, a project which she understood to be &#8220;a front door to the universe of openly licensed content.&#8221;</p>\n<p>&#8220;CC Search is meant to make material more discoverable regardless of where it is hosted,&#8221; Daly said. &#8220;For this reason (and for obvious cost-saving objectives), we decided to host only image metadata — title, creator name, any known tags or descriptions — and link directly to the provider for image display and download. A consequence of this is that CC Search only includes images which are currently available on the web; CC is not collecting or archive any images itself.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Daly built the search feature on AWS cloud infrastructure using Python, Django, Postgres, and Elasticsearch. The beta has estimated hosting costs of $1,400/month. She opted for Python, because she was most familiar with it.</p>\n<p>&#8220;As the prototype evolved, we decided the opportunity for an engaging front door to the Commons lay in curation and personalization,&#8221; Daly said. &#8220;Because of its dedicated maintenance team and frequent patch management, I chose Django as the web framework.&#8221; She chose Elasticsearch over Solr (and other options) primarily because of the AWS’s Elasticsearch-as-a-service.</p>\n<p>&#8220;CC Search is not, at this time, a particularly sophisticated search application; image metadata is relatively simple and when dealing with a heterogeneous content set from a diversity of providers, one tends towards a lowest-common-denominator approach — our search can only be as rich as our weakest data source,&#8221; Daly said. &#8220;There is much to be improved here.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Daly also described an interesting idea for adding a blockchain-type architecture that would record licensing transactions, sharing, and gratitude in a distributed way. This idea falls outside of the scope of the MVP but may be something the project&#8217;s future developers will consider when implementing the final version.</p>\n<p>&#8220;A long-term goal of this project is to facilitate not only search and discovery, but also reuse and &#8216;gratitude,\'&#8221; Daly said. &#8220;A frequent complaint about open licenses in general — both for creative works and software code — is that contributing to the commons can be a thankless task. There are always more consumers than contributors, and there’s no open web equivalent to a Facebook &#8216;like.\'&#8221;</p>\n<p>Other future improvements that the team will consider based on user feedback include adding more content partners, more tools for customizing lists, allowing users to search from their own curated material, and giving trusted users the ability to push metadata back into the collection. Search filters may also be expanded to allow for searching by color, drilling down into tags, and searching public lists.</p>\n<p>Check out the beta for the new CC Search at <a
