We would also like to specify that YITH is ready for this new version.</p>\n<p>Before updating to WordPress 5.0, we want you to spend two minutes thinking about the future of your business and ask yourself some questions.</p>\n<h2>Do you think this is the right moment to update to WordPress 5.0?</h2>\n<p>December is a month when everyone is weighed down with work due to the upcoming holidays. All the stores are crowded and also online shops register this month as the most profitable of the year.</p>\n<p>Consider that in January, when holidays will be over, you can update calmly. Moreover, the patches already scheduled will be released and your system will be more stable.</p>\n<h2>Will your site work with Gutenberg?</h2>\n<p>WordPress 5.0 will integrate Gutenberg. Gutenberg is a new text editor with higher performances that will revolutionize the way of writing in WordPress. If you still don&#8217;t know about Gutenberg, I suggest referring to <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this</a>.</p>\n<p>YITH plugins are almost all ready and many have been already released with support to the new version, but since not all of them are ready, it is important for you to know whether those you are using can support the update.</p>\n<p>If you are using other plugins in addition to YITH ones that integrate with Gutenberg, please check (by testing them or consulting the plugin documentation) they are ready or at least that they won&#8217;t cause fatal errors. Otherwise, I suggest installing and activating the plugin <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Classic Editor</a> before the update.</p>\n<p>Just to be clear, we love Gutenberg and YITH plugins have integrated blocks to use their own shortcodes. We are ready! Yet, we think this version will be even more stable and safer in January.</p>\n<p>Therefore, our advice is the following: <strong>slow and steady wins the race</strong>.</p>\n<h2>If you still want to update to WordPress 5.0</h2>\n<p>Before updating, make a backup. If you have a staging environment, we recommend testing there the new version first.</p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have any and your site is fully active and essential for your business, create one. This advice is valid also for any major release.</p>\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";a:1:{s:10:\"commentRss\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:79:\"https://yithemes.com/blog/yit-news/wordpress-5-0-under-the-christmas-tree/feed/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";a:1:{s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1:\"0\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:2;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:61:\"\n		\n		\n				\n				\n		\n				\n\n		\n				\n								\n							\n		\n							\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:5:{s:0:\"\";a:7:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:53:\"WordCamp Barcelona 2018 – Impressive is not enough!\";s: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:82:\"https://yithemes.com/blog/events/wordcamp-barcelona-2018-impressive-is-not-enough/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:90:\"https://yithemes.com/blog/events/wordcamp-barcelona-2018-impressive-is-not-enough/#respond\";s: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, 27 Nov 2018 09:18:15 +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:8:\"category\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:6:\"Events\";s: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:30:\"https://yithemes.com/?p=998071\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:1:{s:0:\"\";a:1:{s:11:\"isPermaLink\";s:5:\"false\";}}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:342:\"We didn’t miss our appointment in Barcelona.

Do you need something? <strong>Just ask and someone will help you!</strong> The organizers made a great job, and this goes for both what they did and how they did it. Priceless!\n</p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\nOn the same topic, volunteers contribution was then a great plus, this year the volunteers were 170, a huge number and their help was precious during the event.

The initiative is very similar to <a href=\"https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Summer of Code</a>, except it is focused on documentation and technical writing contributions instead. </p>\n<p>Prospective participants can apply during the month of April 2019. Google plans to publish a list of accepted organizations with their ideas for documentation projects. Technical writers can choose a project and submit a proposal to Season of Docs. The accepted proposals will be published July 30, 2019, and participants will then spend a month bonding with their open source communities and collaborating with mentors. The Season of Docs program officially runs from September 2 &#8211; November 29, and participants will receive a stipend of $2400 &#8211; $6,000 USD, calculated based on <a href=\"http://siteresources.worldbank.org/ICPINT/Resources/270056-1255977254560/6483625-1338834270350/FVogel_WhatisPurchasingPowerParity.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Purchasing Power Parity</a>.</p>\n<p>In 2017, <a href=\"https://opensourcesurvey.org/2017/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google&#8217;s Open Source Survey</a> results showed that incomplete or missing documentation was one of the most common problems encountered in open source, observed by 93% of respondents. The Season of Docs program aims to give technical writers an opportunity to contribute to open source projects in a more structured way while learning about open source code. Participating organizations gain the chance to improve their processes for documenting their projects while working with a technical writer.

The event was held during Contributor Day at the same venue, tucked into a comfortable corner with soft chairs and ample floor space for the kids to stretch out. </p>\n<p><a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/petya/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Petya Raykovska</a> led the workshop and participants followed along with the help of a large screen for demonstrating basic publishing-related tasks. The kids learned how to use the editor, add text and images, create galleries, and customize their sites by selecting a theme. Each participant left the workshop with their own WordPress site hosted at WordPress.com.</p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s like an exercise in creativity, showing them how to use a tool to express themselves on the web,&#8221; Raykovska said.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Teaching kids how to use WordPress is far easier than teaching adults how to use it for the first time, because they don&#8217;t have preconceived notions about how the editor should behave. Raykovska said the group at WordCamp Nordic had no issues using Gutenberg.</p>\n<p>&#8220;It doesn&#8217;t matter for them what editor they use,&#8221; Raykovska said. &#8220;They are very intuitive; they go along with anything that comes their way.&#8221;</p>\n<p>She also reported that many of the kids from past kids workshop events have kept their blogs going and maintain strong relationships with the volunteers who helped them get started. </p>\n<p>Each kids workshop is a new opportunity for organizers to test and refine different methods for teaching kids how to use WordPress. As these workshops become more common at WordCamps around the globe, it would be exciting to see them grow to become large scale events where more experienced kids can present on what they are learning and doing with WordPress. </p>\n<p>If you are interested in running a kids workshop at another WordCamp, Raykovska has created an <a href=\"https://paper.dropbox.com/doc/WordPress-Workshop-for-Kids-organiser-kit-kxmOjjycWysa3jFYoaBTv\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">organizer kit</a> for training the next generation of WordPress users and developers.

The directory would make blocks searchable and installable from within the Gutenberg editor. Building a directory for discovering blocks and seamlessly installing them is one of the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/12/08/9-priorities-for-2019/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">nine projects</a> that Matt Mullenweg identified as a priority for 2019.</p>\n<p>Block collections have become one of the most popular ways for distributing a group of related blocks but this method can cause bloat. Users currently cannot search for individual blocks by name and plugin names and descriptions are not always a good indication of what the blocks do.</p>\n<p>Shiels proposed the new directory be limited to single block plugins, frontend JavaScript blocks with no UI outside of the editor. It would be a separate section inside the Plugins Directory, optimized for users to find blocks by name and description. Developers would be required to use a block.json file with metadata as outlined in the <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/288853cc57436b0eda17a82f6a58b77e21d5c7ba/docs/rfc/block-registration.md\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Block Registration RFC</a>, which provides a technical specification for block type registration.</p>\n<p>The most controversial part of the proposal is having blocks installable from within the Gutenberg editor. The long term goal is to make that process as seamless as possible. Block collections and blocks that do not meet the requirements of the single block directory would still be available via the normal plugin installation process. This could be confusing for users who do not know that blocks can be found in two separate directories.</p>\n<p>&#8220;The Gutenberg editor should NOT be a plugin installation source,&#8221; Matt Cromwell commented on the proposal. &#8220;That just seems ripe for scope-creep. That’s not its purpose or function. Let it be an editor, layout builder, content manager, etc. Moving into searching an external library and installing plugins is the definition of losing site of the purpose of a &#8216;product.\'&#8221;</p>\n<p>Cromwell suggested a centralized block manager as an alternative that would offer a better experience for searching and installing blocks. He also echoed other participants&#8217; opinions on the importance of including dynamic blocks in the directory, instead of limiting it to &#8220;JavaScript only&#8221; blocks.</p>\n<p>&#8220;A centralized Block Manager like has already been suggested is a far better user-experience for searching and installing blocks than doing that in the Gutenberg editor. I like the idea of single-block plugins being the only option in the Directory. But make sure Dynamic Blocks that depend on other existing plugins or outside functionality are able to be added to that very important Directory as well. I really don’t see a benefit to limiting this Directory so much.&#8221;</p>\n<p>WordPress developer Jamie Schmid also expressed hesitation about pursuing a solution that puts block installation inside the editor, as it may discourage users from thinking about their block usage across the entire site.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I am not convinced that making blocks searchable and installable from within the editor is the best solution,&#8221; Schmid said. &#8220;This, along with page level block controls and style overrides, is encouraging a very short-sighted, page-level solution to an issue that is very likely a global site (or content or even business) issue. I’d love to instead see a central view for all installed blocks – similar to how plugins are, but more organized by type/function/etc and with a visual alongside. This will encourage making decisions at the site level, encouraging some bigger-picture reflection. And same to being able to apply access controls to the installation of new blocks.&#8221;</p>\n<p>The proposal would place the single block plugin search interface inside the block inserter in the Gutenberg editor. This would enable users to quickly search for and install a block if they don&#8217;t see one they need among the existing blocks.</p>\n<a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/inserter-with-search-results-from-block-dir.jpg?ssl=1\"><img /></a>A mockup of what inline block installation might look like\n<p>Riad Benguella, Gutenberg&#8217;s technical lead for phase 2, encouraged participants in the discussion to think about blocks as pieces of content that do not rely on the post editor but can be configured anywhere inside WordPress.</p>\n<p>&#8220;It is important to think of blocks as its own unit that have a meaning on its own, and that can be used in different contexts,&#8221; Benguella said. &#8220;A block is a piece of content (static or dynamic) that can be configured and rendered anywhere.&#8221; This includes blocks found both inside and outside post_content, content in a full site editor, inside the WordPress admin, a headless application, or even another CMS.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We should be ambitious and think about all these contexts (the final picture), but at the same time we should be pragmatic and iterate to achieve this goal,&#8221; Benguella said.</p>\n<p>The discussion regarding the new block directory and block plugin architecture continues across WordPress contributor teams.

Vulnerable! Transparent! &amp; guess what…I don’t give a fuck! So buckle up boys…you’re about to go for a ride!</p>\n<h3>Escape</h3>\n<p>June 2014 when I decided to leave my life I’ve lived with my husband for thirteen years, left everything behind. My community I always knew, my friends, my way of life, I just dropped everything!</p>\n<p>The only thing I took with me was my idea box and my two kids to started our new life in Chandler Arizona. When I moved, I lived with my mom till I figured it out. At the time I was in school for my Computer Science degree at Austin Peay State University. I figured I have only one year, so why not finish, get a good paying job and my mom was ok with us living in her house. It was difficult and the most challenging experiences as my mom had her own health challenge and having her newly divorced 29 year old daughter with two kids in her house was not easy for her. I was so broken. I was broken spiritually. I was broken mentally and this affected my overall physical health. And still had to find the strength to be strong in front of my kids. I did not have a job. I had never worked a day in my life as my husband did not allow it.</p>\n<blockquote><p>So here I was, 29 years old, two kids, divorced, no degree, no work experience…yet I had to find a way to not only support myself but my kids as well.</p></blockquote>\n<p>While living with my mom, the atmosphere got a little tense. As I mentioned above, my mom went through a lot, she had her own struggles, her own journey, and I happened to be a part of her narrative. With the loss of the man she loved so dearly, and her health declining, she as well had her own capacity of what she can handle, and having me in the house with the kids was getting burdensome. I tried to do my part with buying food in bulk as there was nine of us in a five bedroom house. But sometimes, my idea of “doing my part” does not match the other, and issues may arise.</p>\n<p>One day my mom approached me with the Cox internet bill and asked me to pay for it. Honestly, I probably could have afford the bill under $100.00 dollars, but the inconsistent deposit of child support from my ex at that time, I was not able to commit to paying for anything. That is why I would buy food from Costco in bulk, etc. But, that was the turning point for my mom to pull the plug and say,</p>\n<p>“I don’t want you in my house anymore.”</p>\n<p>So the plan to finish school within a year went out the door!</p>\n<p>I came home one day I and found my stuff in a baskets in front of the garage. I reversed the car from my moms driveway and went in search of an apartment I could afford. At the time, my ex was depositing a total of $1,000 dollars in the joint account for our kids. I had to find an apartment that was under $1,000 dollars plus cover the cost of gas and food. To my surprise I found an apartment called CrossWinds Apartments for $550 a month on Arizona Ave and Pecos rd.</p>\n<h3>Restarting</h3>\n<p>On Aug. 2014 I moved in my first apartment with my two kids.</p>\n<p>So here I was 29 years old, no job yet, the idea of finishing school went out the door, and I have to find a way to make it.</p>\n<p>Breath…just breath…(sometimes breathing doesn’t work. I mean…I feel like I was gasping for air in order to breath!)</p>\n<blockquote><p>My kids where very sad. I was confused. I had no idea what to do and where to go and I needed a job.</p></blockquote>\n<p>After reaching out my friend,  <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/DeedraNotion/\"><i>Deedra Hill Abboud</i></a> who helped me with revamping my resume based on past experiences, I started applying to every job I could find. And just a side note, <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/DeedraNotion/\"><i>Deedra Hill Abboud</i></a> not only helped with my resume which I was clueless on how to put together, but also helped me with my mindset, reminded me to be grateful even though I felt so defeated, and I was at my lowest point in my life. But, I had no luck with my job hunt and I was ready to settle for anything! I was hired as a nanny on Aug 29, 2014. I moved that month into a new apartment, never lived on my own before, never payed for bills (like what the fuck are those yo), and was able to find a job by the end of the month that payed me $300.00 a week. I was so happy. Like you have noooo idea! I was so happy.</p>\n<p>My family visited sporadically. But, on October 2014, my sister Eman, who’s known for <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/emanbfendi/?hl=en\"><i>Eman B. Fendi</i></a>, came over to visit. I had no couch, no bed, no furniture for a while. We had a long conversation about life, and everything in between. During the conversation, I pulled out my idea box and shared with her a card game I had created when I used to tutor Muslim kids back in Clarksville TN. She informed me about <a href=\"https://www.score.org/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjOW5lofO4AIV0iCtBh2LHAhAEAAYASAAEgLaFPD_BwE\"><i>Score</i></a><i>,</i> a non-profit organization that provides free business mentorship all over the USA. She said, “reach out to them. They will help you with your idea.”</p>\n<h3>First Steps</h3>\n<p>I’m like…OMG! I was soooo excited! I went to <a href=\"https://peixotocoffee.com/\"><i>Peixoto</i></a> coffee in Chandler AZ…for internet…I could not afford internet at the time. I checked out <a href=\"https://www.score.org/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjOW5lofO4AIV0iCtBh2LHAhAEAAYASAAEgLaFPD_BwE\"><i>Score</i></a> website and they had an event I attended on November 2014. I was so nervous and so scared. As I did not know what to really do with my idea. All I know is I had an idea, I was passionate about it, and had the drive to do something about it! The event host asked everyone in the room to stand up and introduce themselves. Everyone had their fancy title and so much amazing experience to represent themselves, and here I am trying to make something out of myself I have never done before. In all my insecurities, self doubt, and internal contradictions, my intro goes as follows…</p>\n<p>“Hi! My name is Amena Mabrouk and I have a card game idea that helps kids learn the name and position of Salah(prayer). I am here because I have no idea what to do with my idea.”</p>\n<p>After the session was over a man walked towards me by the name of <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/douglaswhitneyarizona/\"><i>Doug Whitney</i></a>. He was a certified <a href=\"https://www.score.org/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjOW5lofO4AIV0iCtBh2LHAhAEAAYASAAEgLaFPD_BwE\"><i>Score</i></a> mentor helping clients who want to start or grow their businesses. He approached me and said,</p>\n<p>“Hi! My name is <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/douglaswhitneyarizona/\"><i>Doug Whitney</i></a>. I think I can help you with your idea. Here’s my business card.”</p>\n<p>WOW! I was thrilled! I booked an appointment with him that day and I continued to meet with my business mentor weekly for two years. The journey was lonely. As I was so focused on work, my kids, and my idea, I started to miss being apart of a community.</p>\n<blockquote><p>During the two years I was meeting with my business mentor, <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/douglaswhitneyarizona/\"><i>Whitney</i></a> said to me, “You need to start building a website. I recommend you start building your website on WordPress.”</p></blockquote>\n<p>“I’m like, WordPress. Ok! I will start tonight. Like what is it? I press words? “</p>\n<p>Ha…ha…Just kidding! I figured you lasted this long reading my blog, we’re practically related at this point….might as well add a little humor…lol</p>\n<p>So please continue on…</p>\n<h3>WordPress</h3>\n<p>So I went to <a href=\"https://peixotocoffee.com/\"><i>Peixoto</i></a> coffee, opened my computer, went to <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/\"><i>wordpress.org</i></a>, created an account and started to build my website. This was my first time building a website. I googled everything and lots of youtube videos. And man, I got stuck. I was frustrated. I was so disappointed especially when you see all the pretty websites out-there, I was a little discouraged to continue. In the process of trying to figure out this <i>WordPress</i> thing, I also learned about co-working spaces which I became obsessed with!</p>\n<p>Did you know there all over the valley! OMG!</p>\n<p>I found out about one near my home called <a href=\"https://gangplankhq.com/chandler/\"><i>GangPlank </i></a>in Chandler Arizona. I started working out of GangPlank and fell in love with the community there. This was the first time in two years to finally feel a sense of community after my divorce. I worked there consistently and an amazing woman by the name of <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/annewatson.barber.9?__tn__=C-R&eid=ARDgx1bJAP6i7lOBAplL8Wzf3ktNKZrCGQiOP563d9GQzUAhUw-BDwvKH2tmQu7ZYvZO8mllj_-GSsTw&hc_ref=ARTqRfmleXnPPIEZjIvgFRjGV_b6g1HAolr8x1djPRbY-o2CxGcichNRB19TTOGEzIU&fref=nf&__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARD66y89DBaB1hqI3FpzMqP-zIFIUw-dS1ZwT3OL2qB6-YVgZqEmiGfsyIgh0KA2-AhWIm3qo81qbiXJxOpQLciMX200P0_Q5geFvyHml7MFg8jxJkz8uOalO0lVRNS7-Ll4PwdBI7bKG5AeySV57vPv9letQrbH_bQPgBl0XRt06iFz97T1QQUo8lwhIv06cSbdoAq9LyA8CxLNrYTDZmZIVD9S8vodbLHNcti65yUK76SmDaf-q6SDsR7gW9HD-MoJwe-dV5GJCr5FQ6exvu5hsy9r7Scd\"><i>Anne Watson Barber. </i></a>During our conversation, I informed her about my dilemma with my WordPress website. She automatically, without hesitation, offered to help me without any question. I was so so excited! Thrilled! You have no idea!</p>\n<p>I consistently met up with <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/annewatson.barber.9?__tn__=C-R&eid=ARDgx1bJAP6i7lOBAplL8Wzf3ktNKZrCGQiOP563d9GQzUAhUw-BDwvKH2tmQu7ZYvZO8mllj_-GSsTw&hc_ref=ARTqRfmleXnPPIEZjIvgFRjGV_b6g1HAolr8x1djPRbY-o2CxGcichNRB19TTOGEzIU&fref=nf&__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARD66y89DBaB1hqI3FpzMqP-zIFIUw-dS1ZwT3OL2qB6-YVgZqEmiGfsyIgh0KA2-AhWIm3qo81qbiXJxOpQLciMX200P0_Q5geFvyHml7MFg8jxJkz8uOalO0lVRNS7-Ll4PwdBI7bKG5AeySV57vPv9letQrbH_bQPgBl0XRt06iFz97T1QQUo8lwhIv06cSbdoAq9LyA8CxLNrYTDZmZIVD9S8vodbLHNcti65yUK76SmDaf-q6SDsR7gW9HD-MoJwe-dV5GJCr5FQ6exvu5hsy9r7Scd\"><i>Anne Watson Barber</i></a> at <a href=\"https://gangplankhq.com/chandler/\"><i>GangPlank</i></a> for a while. In all honesty, without this WordPress thing, I would have never looked for a place where people work out of, which led me to meeting <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/annewatson.barber.9?__tn__=C-R&eid=ARDgx1bJAP6i7lOBAplL8Wzf3ktNKZrCGQiOP563d9GQzUAhUw-BDwvKH2tmQu7ZYvZO8mllj_-GSsTw&hc_ref=ARTqRfmleXnPPIEZjIvgFRjGV_b6g1HAolr8x1djPRbY-o2CxGcichNRB19TTOGEzIU&fref=nf&__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARD66y89DBaB1hqI3FpzMqP-zIFIUw-dS1ZwT3OL2qB6-YVgZqEmiGfsyIgh0KA2-AhWIm3qo81qbiXJxOpQLciMX200P0_Q5geFvyHml7MFg8jxJkz8uOalO0lVRNS7-Ll4PwdBI7bKG5AeySV57vPv9letQrbH_bQPgBl0XRt06iFz97T1QQUo8lwhIv06cSbdoAq9LyA8CxLNrYTDZmZIVD9S8vodbLHNcti65yUK76SmDaf-q6SDsR7gW9HD-MoJwe-dV5GJCr5FQ6exvu5hsy9r7Scd\"><i>Anne Watson Barber</i></a> and many other amazing people. But that was the beginning. As not only did I get a sense of community I was missing in my life at <a href=\"https://gangplankhq.com/chandler/\"><i>GangPlank</i></a>, I was making legit friends who selflessly are willing to help out no matter what! WOW!</p>\n<p>Can we just stop for a moment and talk about it!</p>\n<p>Throughout our meetings my friend Anne informed me about <a href=\"https://www.meetup.com/Arizona-WordPress-Group/\"><i>Meetup</i></a> groups for WordPress.</p>\n<p>I started to google <a href=\"https://www.meetup.com/Arizona-WordPress-Group/\"><i>Meetup</i></a> groups around the valley for WordPress. I went to all of them! Some WordPress <a href=\"https://www.meetup.com/Arizona-WordPress-Group/\"><i>Meetup</i></a> where one hour and thirty minutes way! I loved every bit of it! Disclaimer, most of it was over my head, but I still went, made new friends, and continued building my WordPress website.</p>\n<p>How WordPress Changed My Life, well the story speaks for itself. Choosing to build my site on WordPress was the catalyst from the beginning that opened many doors I was not aware of. I continued to build my site for a few years, and then moved on to a different venture.</p>\n<blockquote><p>But, without WordPress which lead to the WordPress community, I would not have learned how to build an online presence, to fearlessly ask questions when I’m stuck, to be around people who are willing selflessly help out, even-though I needed the information repeated over and over again for me to understand it.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Without the WordPress community, I would not have learned to be ok with failure that’s free of judgment, as we are all trying to make it. Without the WordPress community, I would not have learned to be ok with the idea of shared information – because your success is my success. Without the WordPress community, I would not have learned how to be tolerant when feeling defeated and to continue with the little courage I had to figuring it out. It really did change my life.</p>\n<p><i>After venturing off with other things</i>, the universe has it’s way of reminding me of where I belong. I was informed about volunteering at <a href=\"https://2019.phoenix.wordcamp.org/\"><i>WordCamp Phoenix 2019</i></a> by a good friend, <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/justinnealey/\"><i>Justin Nealey</i></a> at <a href=\"https://www.godaddy.com/\"><i>GoDaddy</i></a>. So I used my volunteer and sick time to take off from work to be apart of the event. I was blown away! I never knew what WordPress really meant to its people. I did not understand the heart of the WordPress project, and how important it is in the way it impacts the community. When I started with WordPress, it was about building my website for my startup business. But this time, I had a glimpse of it’s magnitude in the world and I am so thrilled to be apart of it on a whole new level!</p>\n<p>During my time at <a href=\"https://2019.phoenix.wordcamp.org/\"><i>WordCamp Phoenix 2019</i></a> , I meet amazing people and had the time of my life!

فى يونيو 2014 عندما قررت أن أترك حياتي التى عشتها مع زوجي لمدة ثلاثة عشر عاما ، تركت كل شيء خلفى. مجتمعي ألذى عرفته ،أصدقائي ، طريقه معيشتى، فقد تركت كل شيء! الشيء الوحيد الذي أخذته معي كان صندوق أفكارى وأطفالي الاثنين لكى نبدأ حياتنا الجديدة في تشاندلر أريزونا. عندما انتقلت ، عشت مع أمي حتى أكتشفت الأمر. ويوم ان كنت في المدرسة لكى أحصل على درجتى العلميه فى علوم الكمبيوتر في جامعة أوستن بيي ستيت. كان لدى سنة واحدة فقط لانهى دراستى، فلماذا لا انهيها ، وأحصل على وظيفة جيدة الأجر ، وكانت أمي طيبه معنا في منزلها. كان ذلك صعبا ومن اكثر  التجارب تحدياً &#8230;فقد كانت أمي تواجه تحديهاالخاص من الناحيه الصحيه ، ولديها ابنتها المطلقة حديثا والبالغه من العمر 29 عاما مع طفلين في منزلها لم يكن ذلك سهلا بالنسبه البها. كنت محطمه بشكل كبير . فقد تحطمت روحيا وعقليًا وأثر ذلك على حالتى الصحيه بشكل عام. وكان يجب ان أكون قويه أمام أطفالي. ولم أكن أعمل. فلم أعمل ابدا ولم يسمح زوجي بذلك. ﻟذا ، والان ، انا ابلغ 29 ﻋﺎﻣﺎً ، وأم لطفلين  ومطلقه وليست لدى درجه علميه ولا خبره مهنيه  ورغما عن كل ذلك كان يتوجب على ان ابحث عن وسيله ليس فقط لاعاله نفسى و لكن لاعاله أطفالى أيضا ً. أثناء الاقامه مع والدتى ، أصبحت الحياه  متوترةً شيئا ما . فكما ذكرت ، فقد مرت أمي بالكثير ، ولديها صراعاتها ورحلتها  الخاصة ، وقد أصبحت انا جزءا من قصتها. ومع خسارتها بفقدان الرجل الذي أحبته كثيرا ، وصحتها المتدهوره، فهى أيضا لها قدراتها الخاصة على تحمل ما تتعامل معه ، وأصبح وجودى في المنزل مع اطفالى عبئا ثقيلا بالنسبه اليها. وقد حاولت أن أقوم بدوري بشراء الطعام بكميات كبيرة فقد كنا تسعة أشخاص  في منزل مكون من خمس غرف نوم. لكن أحيانا ، لا تتطابق مع وجهه نظرى عن &#8220;القيام بدوري&#8221; مع الأخرىن ، وأحيانا تحدث بعض المشكلات. ففي أحد الأيام اتصلت والدتى وطلبت منى دفع فاتوره الإنترنت . بصراحة ، قد استطيع  دفع فاتورة أقل من  100.00 دولار ، ولكن النفقه الغير عادله  لاطفالى من طليقى في ذلك الوقت ، لم تمكننى من الالتزام بدفع أي شيء. وذلك هو السبب في أنني أشتري الطعام من كوستكو بكميات كبيرة ، وهكذا. ولكن ،  كانت تلك نقطة التحول بالنسبة لأمي فقد قالت لى  ، &#8220;أنا لا أريدك في منزلى بعد الآن&#8221;. لذا فإن خطتى لإنهاء المدرسة في عام واحد اختفت ! وعدت إلى المنزل في يوم ما  لاجد أغراضي قد وضعت في سلات أمام الجراج. فغيرت اتجاه السيارة  وذهبت في البحث عن شقة أستطيع تحمل نفقتها. في ذلك الوقت ، كان زوجى السابق يودع  1000 دولار في الحساب المشترك لأطفالنا. كان علي أن أجد شقة أقل من 1000 دولار بالإضافة إلى تغطية تكلفة البنزين والطعام . ولدهشتي وجدت شقة تسمى شقق كروس ويندز مقابل 550 دولار شهريا فى أريزونا افي وبيكوس . في أغسطس 2014 ، انتقلت للعيش فى شقتى الأولى مع أطفالى. كنت في التاسعة والعشرين من عمري ، ولم يكن لدى وظيفة بعد ، وتلاشت فكرة إلانتهاء من المدرسة ، ولا بد لي من إيجاد طريقة للتغلب على ظروفى . اتنفس &#8230; فقط اتنفس &#8230; (فاحيانا لا أستطيع. أعني &#8230; أشعر وكأنني كنت أبحث عن الهواء حتى اتنفس!) وكان أطفالي فى حاله حزن شديده. وكنت مشوشه. لم يكن عندى أدنى فكرة عما يجب أن أفعله وأين أذهب فأنا أحتاج إلى وظيفة.  بعد أن وصلت إلى صديقتي ، ديدرا هيل ابود التى ساعدتني في ان اجدد السيرة  الذاتية الخاصه بى بناءا على خبراتى السابقة ، بدأت أتقدم بطلب لكل وظيفة أعثر عليها. وكملاحظة جانبية ، فإن ديدرا هيل ابود لم تساعدنى في عمل سيرتي الذاتية والتى لم أكن أعرف طريقه تنظيمها فقط ، ولكن أيضا  ساعدتني  في طريقه تفكيري ، وذكّرتني بأن أكون  شاكره حتى مع  شعوري بالهزيمه ، وقد كنت في أدنى نقطة من مراحل  حياتي. ولكن ، لم أكن محظوظه في البحث عن عمل  ، وكنت على استعدادأن أقبل بأى شىء!  ولكن في أكتوبر 2014 ، جاءت شقيقتي إيمان ، التي كانت شهرتها إيمان بى فندي ، لزيارتى. لم يكن لدي مقعد ، ولا سرير ، ولا أثاث لفتره. وتحدثنا طويلا عن الحياة ، وكل شيء بيننا. خلال المحادثة ، حدثتها عن فكرتي وشاركت معها لعبة بطاقة ابتدعتها عندما كنت أعلم الأطفال المسلمين مرة أخرى في كلاركسفيل تينيسي.  وفى 29 أغسطس  2014 تم تعيينى كمربية. وانتقلت في ذلك الشهر إلى شقة جديدة ، لم أحيا أبدا فى شقه خاصه بى من قبل ، ولم أقم بدفع أيه  فواتير (كما يفعل الاخرون ) ، وأستطعت العثور على وظيفة فى نهاية الشهر وكان راتبها  300.00 دولار في الأسبوع. وكنت سعيدة جدا بدرجه لا يمكن أن تتخيلوها. كنت سعيدة جدا. وكانت عائلتي تزورنى فى اوقات متفرقه.  أخبرتني عن &#8220;سكور&#8221; ، وهي منظمة غير ربحية تقوم بتقديم  إرشادًات مهنيه مجانيًة في جميع أنحاء الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية. قالت ، &#8220;تواصلى معهم. سيقومون بمساعدتك في فكرتك. و انا &#8220;يا اللهي!&#8221; فقد كنت متحمسة للغايه! ذهبت إلى مفهى بيكسوتو في تشاندلر  أيه زى &#8230; للولوج الى الإنترنت &#8230; فلم أكن أستطيع تحمل تكلفة الإنترنت في ذلك الوقت. وتفقدت موقع سكور على الإنترنت  وكان لديهم حدث قمت بحضوره في نوفمبر 2014. كنت متوترة وخائفه جدًا.  لاننى لم أكن أعرف ماذا أفعل  بفكرتي. كل ما أعرفه هو أن لدي فكرة ، وكنت متحمسة لها ، ولدى الدافع لعمل أى شيء لتلك الفكره! طلب مضيف الحدث من جميع الحضور الوقوف وتقديم أنفسهم. الجميع كان لهم لقب ممتاز وتجربة رائعة جدا لتقديم أنفسهم ، وعندئذ حاولت ان اقدم شيئا عن نفسى لم اقم به من قبل. بكل ما لدى من عدم الاحساس بالامان ، وعدم الثقة بالنفس ، والتناقضات الداخلية ، وقمت بتقديم نفسى كالتالى  &#8230; &#8220;مرحبا! اسمي أمينة مبروك ولدي فكرة لعبة بطاقة تساعد الأطفال على ان يتعلموا اسم ومكان  (الصلاة).  أننى هنا لأنني لا أعرف ماأفعله بفكرتي &#8220;. بعد الجلسة ، كان هناك رجل يتجه نحوي يسمى&#8221; دوج ويتني &#8220;. وهو معلمًا معتمدًا في سكور ، وهو يساعد العملاء الراغبون في البدء فى أعمالهم أو تنمية أعمالهم. اقترب مني قائلا: &#8220;مرحبا! أنا اسمي دوج ويتني. أظن أنني أستطيع أن أساعدك في فكرتك.هذا هو الكارت المهنى الخاص بى . وااو ! فقد شعرت بسعادة كبيره! وقمت بحجز موعدًا معه في ذلك اليوم ، واستمريت فى مقابلة المشرف المهنى الخاص بى اسبوعيا و لمدة عامين.  كنت أشعر بالوحدة  فى رحلتى . فقد كنت أركز على العمل ، أطفالي وفكرتي ، بدأت أفتقد كونى جزء من المجتمع. خلال السنتين اللتين كنت التقى فيهما مع المشرف المهنى  ، قال لي ويتني: &#8220;يجب عليكى ان تبدأى  في بناء موقع إلكتروني. أنصحك  بإنشاء موقع الويب الخاص بك على وورد بريس . &#8221; أنى أحب وورد بريس . حسنا! سأبدأ الليلة. و انا كمن يقول &#8220;ما هذا؟ اقوم بالضغط علي الكلمات؟&#8221; ها ها اني امزح فحسب! لقد اكتشفت انك استغرقت هذا الوقت في قراءة مدونتي,  حيث ترتبط عمليًا في هذه المرحلة &#8230; .كما يضفى قليلا من المزاح &#8230;   أكمل ارجوك  &#8230; ثم ذهبت إلى قهوة بيكسوتو ، وفتحت جهاز الكمبيوتر الخاص بي ، ثم ولجت إلى wordpress.org ، أنشأت حسابًا وبدأت إنشىء موقع الويب الخاص بي. كانت هذه المرة الأولى التي أنشئ فيها موقعًا على الويب. وبحثت فى جوجل عن كل شيء وكثيرا من  الفيديوهات على يوتيوب. اتدري, لقد تعلقت بما ابحث فيه. فقد كنت محبطة. واحسست بخيبة أمل كبيرة وخاصة عندما رأيت المواقع الجميلة هناك ، كنت متردده قليلاً فى الاستمرار.  ففي محاولة معرفة  هذا الوورد بريس  ، تعلمت أيضًا ماهى مساحات العمل المشترك التي صرت مهووسة بها! هل تعلم أنهم هنا في جميع أنحاء المدينه! يا الله ! لقد اكتشفت أن أحدا هنهم قريبا من منزلى   جانج بلانك في تشاندلر أريزونا. بدأت العمل من خلال جانج بلانك وأحببت ذلك المجتمع. كانت تلك هي المرة الأولى منذ عامين أشعر بالتواصل الاجتماعى بعد الطلاق. عملت هناك باستمرار وقابلت سيدة رائعه اسمها أن واتسون باربر ومن خلال أحاديثنا ، أخبرتها عن مشكلتى مع موقع الوورد بريس</p>\n<p>وبدون تردد و بتلقائيه عرضت على مساعدتى بدون أى سؤال. كنت متحمسة جدا! ليس لديك فكره عن السعادة الكبيرة التى احسست بها! كنت ألتقي باستمرار مع آن واتسون باربر في جانج بلانك كثيرا. وبأمانة ، بدون الوورد بريس ، ماكنت بحثت  عن مكان يعمل فيه الناس معا ، والذى قابلنى بآن واتسون باربر والكثير من الأشخاص الرائعين . لكن ذلك كان البداية.  فلم احصل فقط على شعور التواصل الاجتماعى والذي كنت افتقده في حياتي في جانج بلانك ، بل قمت بعمل صداقات مع اشخاص رائعين ممن هم مستعدين لتقديم المساعدة مهما حدث ! هل يمكن ان نتوقف لحظه ونتحدث عن ذلك.! فمن خلال اجتماعاتنا ، أخبرتنى صديقتي &#8220;آن&#8221; عن مجموعات Meetup   في وورد بريس. بدأت أبحث فى جوجل عن مجموعات الميت اب من حولى  للوورد بريس. ذهبت الى كل منهم! بعض من  WordPress Meetup  تكون ساعة وواحد وثلاثون دقيقة  ولقد احببت كل هذا !  ولكني استمريت فى تكوين أصدقاء جدد ، واستمريت في بناء موقعي على وورد بريس. كيف غيرت وورد برس حياتي ، تتحدث القصة عن نفسها.  فاختيارى لبناء موقعي على وورد بريس كان هو الحافز منذ البداية والذي فتح لى الكثير من الأبواب التي لم أكن على علم بوجودها. واصلت بناء موقعي لسنوات عديده ، ثم انتقلت إلى مشروع آخر. ولكن ، بدون الوورد بريس والذى عرفنى على  مجتمع الوورد بريس ، لم أكن لاتعلم كيفية بناء وجود لى على الإنترنت ، لكى أطرح الأسئلة بلا خوف عندما أعجز عن عمل الاشياء ، وأن يكون حولى أشخاص على استعداد للمساعده بلا أنانيه ، وبالرغم من أنى أحتاج إلى تكرار المعلومات كثيرا لكى افهمها.</p>\n<p>فبدون مجتمع الوورد بريس  ، لم أكن لاتعلم أن أتقبل الفشل والذى يخلو من  من النقد ، حيث أننا جميعا نحاول أن نحقق مانريد. وبدون مجتمع الوورد بريس ، لم أكن لاتعلم فكرة مشاركه المعلومات  &#8211; حيث أن نجاحك هو نجاحي. بدون مجتمع وورد بريس ، لم أكن لأتحمل ألشعور بالهزيمة وان استمر ولو بقليل من الشجاعة التى امتلكها لتحقيق ما أريد. لقد غير الوورد بريس حياتى حقا. بعد المغامرة بأشياء أخرى ، و للكون طريقتة فى تذكيري بما أنتمي إليه. أبلغت عن التطوع. ففي  15 – 17 من فبراير 2019 ابلغنى صديقى جاستن نيلى بالتطوع فى وورلد كامب فينكس #WCPHX  ،  في جو دادى.  لذا استخدمت تطوعي وأوقات المرض  للإبتعاد لاكون جزءا من هذا الحدث. لقد كنت b! لم أكن أعرف أبداً ماذا تعنى الوورد بريس لاصحابها. لم أفهم قلب مشروع الوورد بريس ، ومدى أهميته في طريقة تأثيرة على المجتمع. عندما بدأت مع الوورد بريس  ، فقد كان من أجل بناء موقعي على الويب لنشاطي المبدئى. لكن في هذه المرة ، تلقيت نظره خاطفة عن أهميتها في العالم ، وأننى سعيدة بأن أكون جزءا منها على مستوى جديد! وأثناء تواجدى فى وورد كامب فينكس من 15 – 17 فبراير 2019  قابلت اشخاصا رائعين  وكان هذا من اسعد اوقات حياتى! وقد اتاح لى هذا الحدث الفرصه لالتقاط الصور والفيديوهات فى يوم المشاركة و تنظيم أجتماعات المناقشة الخاصه بوورد بريس فى جالفانيز فينكس.  وفتح ذلك مزيدا من الأبواب لمقابلة توفر دى روسيا الذي اقترح  وألهمني أن أكتب  هذه المدونة لموقعه الإلكتروني والذي أطلق عليه أسم هيرو بريس ؛ ولمقابلة آدم وارنر مدير التسويق الميداني لـ جو دادى ؛  ولمحادثة رائعة مع آرون كامبل | WordPress Core / Ecosystem؛ والكثير من الاشخاص  الرائعين الذين ظهروا فى حياتي بسبب ذلك! والان اناأعمل  في جو دادى هوستنج سابورت. فأنا أحب عملي وأقاتل فى مجتمع الوورد بريس هنا في المدينه.  إنني أعمل قريبه من  ماثيو كلانسي لتسجيل وتحرير برنامج وورد بريس المتقدم وتطوير الاجتماعات وغيرذلك من الأحداث القادمة. أننى متحمسة جدا للمستقبل! ، وأذا ما كنت تتساءل عن فكرتى لبطاقه الصلاة &#8230; فهذه مدوّنة أخرى ، و سعادة أخرى. في نفس الوقت ، دعنا نكن أصدقاء! دعنا نتواصل! على تويتر  AmenaMabrouk</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: How WordPress Changed My Life\" class=\"rtsocial-twitter-button\" href=\"https://twitter.com/share?text=How%20WordPress%20Changed%20My%20Life&via=heropress&url=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fhow-wordpress-changed-my-life%2F\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"></a></div></div><div class=\"rtsocial-fb-horizontal fb-light\"><div class=\"rtsocial-fb-horizontal-button\"><a title=\"Like: How WordPress Changed My Life\" class=\"rtsocial-fb-button rtsocial-fb-like-light\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fhow-wordpress-changed-my-life%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%2Fhow-wordpress-changed-my-life%2F&title=How+WordPress+Changed+My+Life\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share: How WordPress Changed My Life\"></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/how-wordpress-changed-my-life/&media=https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/030619-min-150x150.jpg&description=How WordPress Changed My Life\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pin: How WordPress Changed My Life\"></a></div></div><a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"perma-link\" href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/how-wordpress-changed-my-life/\" title=\"How WordPress Changed My Life\"></a></div><p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/how-wordpress-changed-my-life/\">How WordPress Changed My Life</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:\"Fri, 08 Mar 2019 01:30:09 +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:\"Amena Mabrouk\";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:92:\"WPTavern: WPWeekly Episode 348 – RIP Alex, Facebook Moderators, and Shorter Release Cycles\";s: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:59:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=87851&preview=true&preview_id=87851\";s: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/wpweekly-episode-348-rip-alex-facebook-moderators-and-shorter-release-cycles\";s: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:2067:\"<p>In this episode, <a href=\"http://jjj.me\">John James Jacoby</a> and I review feedback from last week&#8217;s show, share a few more memories of Alex Mills, and discuss an article that describes what it&#8217;s like to be a content moderator for Facebook.

If you&#8217;re not familiar with WebAuthn, <a href=\"https://webauthn.io/\">here&#8217;s a little demo</a> (if you don&#8217;t own a security key, it&#8217;ll probably work best on an Android phone with a fingerprint reader).</p>\n\n\n\n<p>That I needed to add a disclaimer for the demo indicates the state of WebAuthn authenticator support. It&#8217;s nice when it works, but it&#8217;s clearly still in progress, and <a href=\"https://caniuse.com/#feat=webauthn\">that progress varies</a>. WebAuthn also doesn&#8217;t cover how the authenticator device works, that falls under the <a href=\"https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-v2.0-ps-20190130-pub/fido-client-to-authenticator-protocol-v2.0-ps-20190130.html\">proposed CTAP standard</a>. They work together to form the <a href=\"https://fidoalliance.org/fido2/\">FIDO2 Project</a>. Currently, the most reliable option is to purchase a security key, but <a href=\"https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/22/18235173/the-best-hardware-security-keys-yubico-titan-key-u2f\">quality varies wildly</a>, and needing to carry around an extra dongle just for logging in to sites is no fun.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What WordPress Needs</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Anything that replaces passwords needs to provide some extra benefit, without losing the strengths of the password model:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Passwords are universally understood as an authentication model.</li><li>They&#8217;re portable: you don&#8217;t need a special app or token to use them anywhere.</li><li>They&#8217;re extendable: strong passwords can be enforced as needed. Additional authentication (2FA codes, for example) can be added, too.</li></ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Magic login links are an interesting step in this direction. The WordPress mobile apps added <a href=\"https://en.blog.wordpress.com/2017/08/15/an-updated-login-coming-to-the-wordpress-mobile-apps/\">magic login support for WordPress.com accounts</a> a while ago, I&#8217;d love to see this working on all WordPress sites. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>A WebAuthn-based model would be a wonderful future step, once the entire user experience is more polished.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The password-less future hasn&#8217;t quite arrived yet, but we&#8217;re getting closer.</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, 06 Mar 2019 02:13:26 +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:4:\"Gary\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:10;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:63:\"WPTavern: Global WordPress Translation Day Set for May 11, 2019\";s: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=87768\";s: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/global-wordpress-translation-day-set-for-may-11-2019\";s: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:2290:\"<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WordPress-Translation-Day4.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>One of the the most important factors in WordPress&#8217; growth is the software&#8217;s availability in <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">186 languages</a>. Its vibrant community of translation volunteers, known as the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Polyglots team</a>, continually update the translations to ensure access for millions of non-English speakers around the world. In 2016, the team began hosting their own events dedicated to educational sessions and topics that affect the translation community, along with coordinated translation sprints.  </p>\n<p>The 4th edition of the <a href=\"https://wptranslationday.org\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Global WordPress Translation Day</a> (GWTD) has been set for Saturday, May 11, 2019. It is a 24-hour virtual and in-person event that brings together new and experienced translators. The most recent event was held in 2017 with 71 local events in 29 countries. More than 1,300 people RSVP&#8217;d for local events and volunteers around the world translated 93,179 strings in core, themes, and plugins. The event was also successful at growing the local translation communities, adding 217 new translators to the project.</p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to overstate the importance of events like this that support and grow WordPress&#8217; vital translation community.

The library is included with many popular plugins, such as NextGEN Gallery (1,000,000+ installs), 404 &#8211; 301 (100,000+ installs), WP Security Audit Log (80,000+ installs), and FooGallery (100,000 installs+). Freemius CEO Vova Feldman said he would classify it as &#8220;a severe vulnerability.&#8221; </p>\n<p>Feldman had planned to wait to publish anything about the vulnerability until more plugin authors had updated, but the security team at PluginVulnerabilities.com published a <a href=\"https://www.pluginvulnerabilities.com/2019/02/26/hackers-are-probably-already-exploiting-this-authenticated-option-update-vulnerability-just-fixed-in-freemius/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">detailed explanation of the vulnerability</a> within 24 hours of plugin developers getting notified about the patch: </p>\n<blockquote><p>The vulnerability, an authenticated option update vulnerability, would allow anyone with access to a WordPress account to take complete control of the website. That is a type of vulnerability that hackers will try to exploit if there is significant usage of a plugin. Anyone that allows untrusted individuals access to WordPress accounts and is using a plugin with this library is at a pretty significant risk if they haven&#8217;t updated the plugin to a version that fixes this or deactivated the plugin.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Plugin developers using the library have already been notified by Freemius, the team at pluginvulnerabilities.com, and will soon be contacted by the WordPress.org plugin team. A full list of the plugins impacted by this vulnerability is not available yet, but Freemius has a page on its website <a href=\"https://includewp.com/freemius/#focus\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">showcasing 96 WordPress.org plugins and nine themes that use it</a>.</p>\n<p>&#8220;More than 60% of the developers who are using our SDK have already upgraded to the patched version,&#8221; Feldman said. As of today, Feldman said he has not received any reports of the vulnerability having been exploited.</p>\n<p>Feldman published a <a href=\"https://freemius.com/blog/sdk-security-vulnerability/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">summary of his company&#8217;s actions on the security issue</a> and described how Freemius is working to mitigate exposure and try to give users more time to update. The company requested two things from developers using its wordpress-sdk library: </p>\n<ul>\n<li>If this security upgrade will be included in your changelog, please only use generic wording like “Security fix”.</li>\n<li>Even after updating and releasing the patched versions, please do not disclose this issue during the next 30 days, allowing enough time for all our partners and their users to update.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>It is in a company&#8217;s best interest to keep the details of a product&#8217;s security issue under wraps for as long as possible, but that may leave some users exposed when the vulnerability has already been published on the web. Any user who sees an update for a plugin using Freemius is advised to act on that update immediately, regardless of whatever generic note appears in the changelog. </p>\n<p>As a company providing a security service, PluginVulnerabilities.com had different priorities in publishing details about the vulnerability, according to a representative who identified himself as John:</p>\n<blockquote><p>In this case where we are not the discoverers. The biggest issue is that vulnerability looks to have already been being exploited when we came across it, so hiding the situation from the public seems highly irresponsible. Our customers pay us to warn them about vulnerabilities in their plugin, so we would need to warn them right away once we became aware of this. If we only warned our customers that obviously raises some serious questions since others in WordPress community would be left in the dark.</p></blockquote>\n<p>In cases like this, where developers are including a third-party library in their plugins, it can take longer for users to receive an update that fixes the vulnerability, since the need for a patch has to be communicated to multiple parties. The situation is similar to the <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/bootstrap-patches-xss-vulnerability-in-versions-4-3-1-and-3-4-1\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">recent vulnerability that Bootstrap patched</a> two weeks ago. Bootstrap announced the vulnerability in the same week it was reported and fixed, instead of trying to delay disclosure, even though thousands of products across the web use the Bootstrap framework.</p>\n<p>WordPress.org doesn&#8217;t currently have a mechanism to flag certain plugin updates as security updates, but if a security update is severe enough, the plugin team can push updates out faster with cooperation from plugin authors. That route has not yet been pursued in this case, but we will continue monitoring the situation. In the meantime, if you are using a plugin that includes Freemius and the author has not updated, you may want to consider turning the plugin off temporarily until a patch is available.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 01 Mar 2019 19:47:49 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:12;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:47:\"Dev Blog: The Month in WordPress: February 2019\";s: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=6652\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:72:\"https://wordpress.org/news/2019/03/the-month-in-wordpress-february-2019/\";s: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:7523:\"<p>A new version of WordPress, significant security enhancements, important discussions, and much more &#8211; read on to find out what has been going on in the WordPress community for the month of February.</p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" />\n\n\n\n<h2>Release of WordPress 5.1</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Near the end of the month, <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2019/02/betty/\">WordPress 5.1 was released</a>, featuring significant stability and performance enhancements as well as the first of the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2019/01/14/php-site-health-mechanisms-in-5-1/\">Site Health</a> mechanisms that are in active development.

Designers working on the new Navigation Menu block have <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/design/2019/02/26/proposal-navigation-menu-block/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">published a prototype</a> this week with detailed notes on how users will interact with the block.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/navigation-menu-prototype.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>The proposed solution would automatically generate a menu and users would able to delete menu items using the keyboard or block settings ellipsis menu.

One of the principles the designs are based on is that &#8220;The editing state of the block itself should mimic as closely as possible the front-end output.&#8221; However, it&#8217;s difficult to fully visualize how this will work. Navigation menus are most likely to be used in the header and/or footer of a website, but it&#8217;s not yet clear how themes will reveal a navigation area to Gutenberg.</p>\n<p>There are still many questions to be answered and the design team is seeking feedback on the prototype.

The tickets related to the navigation block discussion are listed in the proposal. The design team is currently working on usability testing and aims to have a final design by the end of March.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 01 Mar 2019 04:55:59 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s: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:87:\"WPTavern: WPWeekly Episode 347 –  Chair Buying, Pressing Issues, and Block Management\";s: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:59:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=87718&preview=true&preview_id=87718\";s: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:91:\"https://wptavern.com/wpweekly-episode-347-chair-buying-pressing-issues-and-block-management\";s: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:2347:\"<p>In this episode, <a href=\"http://jjj.me\">John James Jacoby</a> and I start off by discussing the office chair purchasing process.

The discussion began during a recent core dev chat in mid-February when Gutenberg phase 2 lead Riad Benguella proposed the project move to shorter, automated release cycles. </p>\n<p>The Gutenberg team has successfully been releasing a new version of the plugin every two weeks on schedule and any features that aren&#8217;t ready are postponed to the next releases automatically. Benguella contends that this type of release schedule has the potential to bring several benefits to WordPress:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Less stress for contributors</li>\n<li>Predictability: People can plan around the release timelines easily</li>\n<li>No delays as releases are not feature-based</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Shortening major releases may prove more challenging for WordPress, which is at a much larger scale than the Gutenberg plugin. The plugin also has the added advantage of being able to manage releases and development on GitHub. </p>\n<p>&#8220;I think there are a lot of infrastructure problems that need to be solved for WordPress before we could move to a fast, automated release cycle,&#8221; Gary Pendergast said. </p>\n<p>&#8220;Having a major release once a month is achievable, it’s something I’d like us to get to, but the release process is too manual to have multiple releases running at the same time at the moment.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Jonathan Desrosiers drafted a <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2019/02/27/major-and-minor-version-release-cadence/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">proposal</a> that summarizes this discussion and  outlines some of the manual tasks required for getting a major release out the door. These include time-consuming tasks like Trac gardening, creating a Field Guide, blog posts for the betas, RCs, and official release, documentation updates, videos, dev notes, and other items that are often completed by volunteers. </p>\n<p>The 3-4 month release cycles that WordPress had from versions 3.9 &#8211; 4.7 allowed for all of the administrative overhead outlined above to be completed in a reasonable amount of time, but the general consensus is that some of these tasks could be more simplified and/or automated. </p>\n<p>Desrosiers highlighted several benefits of moving to a shorter major release cycle, including less drastic change for users that might ultimately result in more users being comfortable enabling automatic updates for major releases. Detriments to shortening the release cycle are the increased burden it puts on volunteers as well as theme and plugin developers who need to push compatibility releases. It would also introduce more backporting work for security releases. </p>\n<p>Several contributors have left feedback on the post with insight gleaned from other projects&#8217; release scheduling. Jeremy Felt reviewed <a href=\"https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/Release_owners\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Firefox&#8217;s release owner table</a> that assigns leadership and dates for several releases in advance.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I think getting to a shorter release cycle in general will involve scheduling multiple releases and assigning their release leads in advance,&#8221; Felt said. &#8220;So far most of our scheduling is done as soon as the last release has been shipped.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Joe McGill examined <a href=\"https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/Development-Process\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">VS Code&#8217;s development process</a> and found several similarities to the process he thinks WordPress could adopt in the future: </p>\n<ol>\n<li>A long term roadmap (theirs is 6–12 months) outlining major themes and features.</li>\n<li>A monthly release cadence based on 4 week sprints which begin with milestone planning and always results in a release of whatever was completed in that monthly iteration.</li>\n<li>Regular project triage, with release priorities managed at the team (i.e. Component) level.</li>\n<li>Documentation integrated into the development process.</li>\n<li>Automated testing of releases and upgrades.</li>\n<li>Only important regressions and security issues are handled in minor releases between monthly milestones, everything else is moved forward to the next release (or reprioritized in the backlog).</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Several of these points echo feedback from other contributors who have identified documentation integrated into development and automated testing as ways to speed up major release cycles.</p>\n<p>&#8220;If we don’t have the infrastructure and tooling to support a 1 month cycle, then I think we could attempt a 2 month cycle with a goal towards moving to shorter cycles,&#8221; McGill said.</p>\n<p>The Gutenberg plugin&#8217;s relentless pace of iteration and predictable release cycles have opened up a world of new ideas for improving the process for WordPress core. Discussion around moving the project to shorter, time-based release cycles is still in the preliminary stages. No major changes have been agreed upon yet, but the process of exploring different ideas has put the spotlight on tasks that could afford to be tightened up in the release process. This falls in line with WordPress&#8217; 2019 theme of &#8220;tightening up.&#8221; </p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 28 Feb 2019 18:21:39 +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:16;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:56:\"Post Status: Branching out: An interview with Peter Suhm\";s: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=55639\";s: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/branching-out-an-interview-with-peter-suhm/\";s: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:7073:\"<p>In Peter’s words, “the most basic way to think of WP Pusher is that it replaces FTP with a flow where updates come directly from GitHub/Bitbucket” through the WordPress core auto-updater.</p>\n<p>You may <em>not</em> know Peter built the first version of <a href=\"https://wppusher.com/\">WP Pusher</a> in a shopping mall in Thailand while traveling the globe for four years. Originally from Copenhagen, today Peter is settled down in Glasgow and has just launched <a href=\"https://usebranch.co/\">Branch</a>, a Docker-based build and deployment tool for WordPress developers that goes quite a bit further than WP Pusher. Branch is a continuous integration service for WordPress that adds “the ‘build’ and ‘test’ steps” before deployment.</p>\n<p><strong>DK: You’ve launched Branch with a manifesto that declares “WordPress developers are developers too” before outlining the well-known lack of modern tools for WordPress development. Why do you think that has been such a long-lamented situation and was there something unique in your experience that drove you to do something about it?</strong></p>\n<p><strong>PS: </strong>One of the things that makes WordPress really special is its low barrier of entry. The 5-minute install and all of that. The WordPress community proudly consists of a large percentage of amateurs and hobbyists. A lot of people have their first experience with programming because of WordPress, which is great and something WordPress should be really proud of. Most development frameworks exist to make the developer more productive, but I think WordPress has another purpose. The purpose of WordPress is to democratize publishing (which is something user facing), not to be an awesome tool for developers. There are obviously some political decisions behind this lack as well. Religiously supporting outdated versions of PHP is just one of them. Not having any sort of dependency management, so everyone has to reinvent the wheel on each project is another one.</p>\n<p>Every WordPress developer is asking the same questions. “How do I manage my dependencies?” or “how do I migrate changes to the database?” These are questions people literally ask me because I sell WordPress developer tools. Personally, I didn’t get into programming because of WordPress. I have been doing PHP development since my early teens, and my first job was as a Ruby on Rails junior developer. “Growing up” as a developer, I was raised very strictly! My co-workers would write failing unit tests for me, and I’d have to implement the code. This made me pretty religious about best practices, testing etc. After RoR I discovered Laravel in 2013 and helped build the Laravel community in Copenhagen. However, during high school, I had built quite a few different projects using WordPress for myself and my clients. Once in a while, I’d have to update these old WordPress sites, which always involved installing an FTP client. This was rough after five years of continuous deployment using Git and automated tests. I hate FTP with a passion. It’s an error-prone and outdated way to deploy your code.</p>\n<p>Inspired by some of the tooling I knew from RoR and Laravel, I set out to build a better way to deploy WordPress code. After a lot of experimentation, I landed on WP Pusher. However, WP Pusher only moves the code. It doesn’t run your build scripts or your unit tests. It just blindly moves your code from a Git repository to WordPress. I was intentionally ignoring this problem for a while, being kind of intimidated by it I guess. However, people kept asking me the questions I described earlier, so I started experimenting again and believe I found a really cool solution with Branch. Branch is built on top of Docker, so everything you can imagine doing inside of Docker containers will eventually be available within Branch. A major part of building Branch is to make this great, but highly technical, stack available to WordPress developers.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_55795\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"wp-image-55795 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.poststatus.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/branch_screen.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"4152\" height=\"2305\" /><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Branch Dashboard showing the configuration options for a theme&#8217;s build steps.</p></div>\n<p><strong>DK: Does Branch build on or incorporate WP Pusher, or are these totally separate technologies? As SaaS businesses, will they remain separate or merge? I imagine some of your agency customers for WP Pusher might want to move up to Branch, if they don’t lose anything in the process.</strong></p>\n<p><strong>PS:</strong> The best way to understand Branch, and why it’s different from WP Pusher, is to imagine it as two separate parts: The build + test part (continuous integration) and the deployment part (continuous deployment). The deployment part of Branch very much builds upon WP Pusher. The build part is what’s new. It’s the missing link between developing on your local machine and shipping to production.</p>\n<p>One of the things that excite me the most about Branch is that it’s a hosted SaaS, compared to WP Pusher which is “just” a WordPress plugin. That allows me to add a much more advanced feature set and ship much faster. With a SaaS, you are in control of the environment in which the software runs. That gives you a lot more flexibility and opportunity. I want WP Pusher to stay around for everyone to keep using. However, I want to make Branch so good that everyone wants to switch eventually. But WP Pusher will stay around. That’s for sure.</p>\n<p><strong>DK: What did you learn from life as a digital nomad? Have you given it up for good now, or do you plan to do more traveling?</strong></p>\n<p><strong>PS:</strong> That’s a good question, I should probably spend some more time thinking about! I came into the “nomadic” lifestyle sort of by accident. It wasn’t very purposeful. I think on a personal level the number one lesson has been how important for me it is to have a base. Traveling for a long time, you become very aware of your roots. You spend a lot of time thinking about the good and the bad parts of being back home. I think ideally it allows you to go “home” and have a better idea of which parts of settled life you like, and which ones you’d rather be without.</p>\n<p>On a business level, WP Pusher was born on the road and has a very different nature than most businesses. From day one it’s been a premise that I wasn’t always around 24/7. It’s never been a problem, because it’s never been an expectation. I’ve never had to change anything about WP Pusher to allow me to travel, because I was already traveling when I built it. Now I’m pretty settled, and I live with my fiancé and only travel for smaller trips. I’ll never stop traveling, hopefully, but I don’t think I’ll ever live on the road again! <img src=\"https://cdn.poststatus.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/cropped-logo-blue-192x192.png\" width=\"16px\" height=\"16px\" /></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, 27 Feb 2019 22:15:08 +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:10:\"Dan Knauss\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:17;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:100:\"WPTavern: Gatsby WordPress Themes Project Partners with Theme Shops to Port Popular Themes to Gatsby\";s: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=87635\";s: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:111:\"https://wptavern.com/gatsby-wordpress-themes-project-partners-with-theme-shops-to-port-popular-themes-to-gatsby\";s: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:6696:\"<p><a href=\"https://gatsbywpthemes.com/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Gatsby WordPress Themes</a> is a new collaborative project led by Zac Gordon with help from Jason Bahl, Rich Tabor, Muhammad Muhsin, and Alexandra Spalato. The group is working together to port popular themes for use with <a href=\"https://www.gatsbyjs.org/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Gatsby</a>, the React-based static site generator that uses GraphQL for its data layer.</p>\n<p>Known for its performance and ease of deployment, Gatsby has captured developers&#8217; attention and was <a href=\"https://risingstars.js.org/2018/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">one of the rising stars</a> of the React ecosystem throughout 2018. Using WordPress as a headless CMS, developers can pull data into Gatsby and enjoy the scalability, speed, and security that comes with serving static files. </p>\n<p>Although static site generators have been around for awhile, the current Gatsby craze seems to be rooted in the fact that the project uses React, Webpack, and modern JavaScript and CSS. </p>\n<p>&#8220;WordPress devs love Gatsby because it lets them throw away the entire old school PHP based WordPress theming system and built sites with React and GraphQL,&#8221; Gordon said.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Gatsby devs are finding a new interest in WordPress because by default you have to edit Gatsby content in Markdown.  WordPress gives a much richer editing experience.&#8221;</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://twitter.com/jasonbahl\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jason Bahl</a>, creator of the <a href=\"https://www.wpgraphql.com/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WPGraphQL</a> project, is a technical advisor for the Gatsby WP Themes project. He was inspired to collaborate with the team because he thinks Gatsby has a lot of benefits for WordPress sites.</p>\n<p>&#8220;The end result of a Gatsby site is a static site with no live Database connection,&#8221; Bahl said. &#8220;Just HTML and JavaScript files, so performance is better than even the most highly cached WordPress sites, and security is better because there&#8217;s no live database connection to be compromised.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Also, Gatsby is fully React. With Gutenberg in core, WordPress developers are writing a LOT more React. Using Gatsby as the presentation layer for a site allows for components to be re-used across the admin and the theme, where now developers need to create React components for Gutenberg and PHP template partials for the &#8216;regular&#8217; theme rendering.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Regular WordPress theme are not immediately compatible with Gatsby, since the entire theme has to be built with React, but developers can use the same styles. </p>\n<p>&#8220;We are taking a distinctly different direction than the WordPress themes on the Gatsby themes repo currently,&#8221; Gordon said. &#8220;We are going to base all of our themes on the WP GraphQL plugin. The default Gatsby themes now work on a wrapper on top of the REST API and don&#8217;t have live GraphQL endpoints, so they are limited.&#8221;</p>\n<h3>Gatsby WordPress Themes Project Partners with Theme Shops to Offer Free and Commercial Gatsby Themes</h3>\n<p>The Gatsby WordPress Themes project will offer a combination of free and commercial Gatsby themes. Gordon is partnering with theme shops that are open to his team doing the heavy lifting of porting popular themes over to Gatsby.</p>\n<p>&#8220;The first two theme partners are Rich Tabor of <a href=\"https://coblocks.com/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CoBlocks</a> and <a href=\"https://themebeans.com/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ThemeBeans</a>, who is licensing us his super clean and Gutenberg perfect &#8216;Tabor&#8217; premium theme,&#8221; Gordon said. &#8220;Then we have Leland Fiegel, a fellow DC WP chap and long time friend, from <a href=\"https://themetry.com/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Themetry</a>. They specialize in themes on WordPress.com, which means they are also battle tested.  They have licensed us their great business theme Belmont.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Gordon said the first versions of the Gatsby themes are targeted towards business and brochure sites that might have a couple pages laid out in Gutenberg and possibly a news/blog section and contact page.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Since headless sites don&#8217;t work with a lot of plugins by default, the V1 of all the themes will be super opinionated and focused (but 100% extendable),&#8221; Gordon said.</p>\n<p>&#8220;The final set of themes are from the WordPress default themes collection.  We will have a detailed article showing how we ported the Twenty Nineteen theme over to a Gatsby theme and that will be the first of the default themes we do.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Although this initiative is aimed at simpler WordPress sites, creating and maintaining a Gatsby site isn&#8217;t necessarily going to be well-suited to beginners.</p>\n<p>&#8220;As far as the target audience, I think any WordPress site that doesn&#8217;t have super fast moving content &#8211; like the average marketing site or documentation site is perfect for Gatsby,&#8221; Bahl said.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Gatsby does have a &#8216;Build&#8217; step, where it collects ALL the data needed for the entire site, then outputs the content in the static Gatsby site. So even changing a typo on a post would require the ENTIRE SITE to rebuild, which can take anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes, which may not be acceptable for sites that need content live FAST (like a newspaper).</p>\n<p>&#8220;But for your average WordPress site, waiting two minutes for your changes to be live in production is acceptable. Many heavily cached WordPress sites already experience a delay in content being live anyway.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Gordon said he doesn&#8217;t believe Gatsby is the right fit for all WordPress sites but for certain projects it &#8220;can be a really cool approach both in terms of development experience and gains in speed and security.&#8221;</p>\n<p>The group is aiming to have its first themes released for WordCamp Miami in mid-March and plans to release more as they make new partnerships and see an actual demand. Gordon is actively looking for more theme shops to bring on board.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Zac will be primarily maintaining the Gatsby themes, though I’ll help where I’m needed,&#8221; ThemeBeans founder Rich Tabor said. &#8220;We’re still in the very initial stages of development. </p>\n<p>&#8220;Overall, it’s a super interesting idea. Static site generators are increasing in popularity and Gatsby is pretty much leading the pack in terms of performance and ease-of-use — both of which WordPress is not particularly well-known for (but is making strides to improve).&#8221;</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 27 Feb 2019 19:50:48 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:18;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:38:\"HeroPress: Know That You Are Not Alone\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:56:\"https://heropress.com/?post_type=heropress-essays&p=2692\";s: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:128:\"https://heropress.com/essays/know-that-you-are-not-alone/#utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=know-that-you-are-not-alone\";s: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:9625:\"<img width=\"960\" height=\"480\" src=\"https://s20094.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/022719-min-1024x512.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"Pull Quote: WordPress for me has been a life skill that has brought be wealth.\" /><p>I remember when I was about 10 years and my mom got our first ever computer. She went to the store and got a bunch of CD’s which I was hyped about because I knew some of them were games. She gave me a yellow box that had “Microsoft FrontPage” on the front and said, “Here, learn this”. She saw my confused face and said “It shows you how to build websites. The web is huge right now. If you have this skill, one day you can make a lot of money.” I did go through the course and was pretty good at HTML and CSS but never stuck with it.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Besides, no one else I knew was doing it and what do moms know anyway?</p>\n<p>Everything. They know everything.</p></blockquote>\n<p>This was my first taste of coding. But it definitely wasn’t the last.</p>\n<h3>Growing Out</h3>\n<p>2016 was a bad year. I was still living in my hometown Philly, constantly working overtime at my low paying job, constantly stressed, trying to prove myself to a company that only viewed me as a number. That combined with the two hour commute both ways daily and I eventually burned myself out severely. I was so depressed that I would go to sleep crying and then wake back up crying again willing myself to get out of bed so that I could go to work. Eventually, I saw a therapist who diagnosed me with depression and she recommended that I take a break from work to recover. I was out of work for three months still recovering when my job called not to check on me, but to see when I was coming back. I ended up quitting over the phone, and never looked back.</p>\n<p>But I knew I needed to find out what I wanted to do career-wise. I decided to start teaching myself HTML and CSS again to see what I could do with that skill. I took the CodeAcademy courses and was surprised at how much I remembered.</p>\n<blockquote><p>I eventually found someone who wanted me to do maintenance on their site for really cheap. I was excited because in just a couple of months I landed a client! But it was also a HUGE mistake.</p></blockquote>\n<p>He was constantly nagging me daily on fixing his site, and every time I would fix it he would find something else wrong. Worse part is that went on for months without me collecting any extra money from him. I didn’t have him sign a contract (BIG Mistake) and he would contact me at various hours which I always responded right away because I felt I had to (Another mistake). Eventually, it got to be too much and I had to cut him off completely. I learned quite a bit about the business of web development and knew I needed to do more research before jumping head first into this again.</p>\n<h3>A Leap Of Faith</h3>\n<p>Fast forward to December 2017, I got offered an IT Management job in DC and moved within a couple of weeks with only $50 in my pocket which no place to live. But I made it work.  I stayed in a hostel for two weeks while I found an apartment. My mom helped with getting the funds for my apartment and without her support, I don’t know think I would be here now. I stopped my web stuff for a while so I can focus on my transition. I’m not gonna lie, as much as I was happy to move here, I was also very lonely. The folks at my job were older and they were all family people, and I knew no one out here. But the biggest challenge was trying to run a whole IT department by myself and the upper-management C-Suite folks not having a clue about tech or why it costs so much. It also didn’t help that there were folks that had a huge dislike of IT and therefore transferred that dislike to me. I knew about a month into this job that this wasn’t going to be the path that I was going an needed to do something else.</p>\n<p>I searched online for a web course that would help me learn front-end development and eventually I came across Skillcrush. They were offering a course to teach WordPress development and all you needed to know was HTML and CSS. They offered the course for $150 a month for 3 months. After researching and seeing how many companies were using WordPress and the value in it I decided to take the plunge and take the course. I started in May and completed it in August.</p>\n<blockquote><p>While taking the course I joined their Slack and met a group of amazing women, some who were alumni and found success from freelancing building websites with WordPress. They shared advice and tips on how to find clients and freelance and how they made the transition.</p></blockquote>\n<p>I took all the knowledge I saw and absorbed it like a sponge. Then in September, I took the plunge and quit my job.</p>\n<h3>Finding Community</h3>\n<p>Now, this was reckless of me. While I did have some savings to keep me afloat for a minute I never planned this out. If you’re going to freelance I highly recommend you don’t go this route. I started looking everywhere I could to get gigs. Upwork was the most successful platform especially for finding WordPress gigs. I was able to find a few successful gigs and luckily got to work with a web agency which gave me a steady stream of income for a while. I learned how to do contracts, set rates and expectations and through these methods and more was able to secure quality clients that I still work with today. One client referred me to others who needed work, which brought in even more income. While I was doing this I also decided to join Twitter and found a community of other black folks who were also starting their tech journey. I was able to help others and well as ask for advice when I needed it. Finally, I no longer felt alone.</p>\n<p>But then in February, the agency jobs started to slow down. I could have gone a little longer without a proper job but I decided to go back into the workforce because I wanted to build back up my savings faster and also invest in other parts of my business. So I decided to get back into the job world and got a contract job with the federal government. The job was good and I did so well that after 2 months they offered me a full-time position. I still work at this job to this day.</p>\n<p>As for my WordPress websites, I still do work for existing clients if they really need it. In addition, I run a blog called #WordPressWednesday (now named #WordPressWisdom) where I share tips and tricks on all things WordPress. But my journey isn’t over. I recently got accepted into Flatiron Software Development Bootcamp where I will be diving into more backend development. I also have a lot of other things coming which I can’t share just yet. It took a lot of work to get to this point.</p>\n<blockquote><p>I don’t think I would have ever gotten to this point without the support of the tech community on Twitter and most notably the Digital Empire community that I’m a part of.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Having a place to share resources, tips and jokes daily have kept me motivated and going for the past year.</p>\n<p>WordPress for me has been a life skill that has brought wealth. It has given me the ability to generate a whole other means of income as well and give resources to other people who are looking for a place to start in the coding world. But it wasn’t an easy journey to get this point. And if you feel stuck like I was, know that there are people here for you. Start your journey today. Get on Twitter and introduce yourself to the community. Ask for help. And most importantly, know that you are not alone.</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: Know That You Are Not Alone\" class=\"rtsocial-twitter-button\" href=\"https://twitter.com/share?text=Know%20That%20You%20Are%20Not%20Alone&via=heropress&url=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fknow-that-you-are-not-alone%2F\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"></a></div></div><div class=\"rtsocial-fb-horizontal fb-light\"><div class=\"rtsocial-fb-horizontal-button\"><a title=\"Like: Know That You Are Not Alone\" class=\"rtsocial-fb-button rtsocial-fb-like-light\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fknow-that-you-are-not-alone%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%2Fknow-that-you-are-not-alone%2F&title=Know+That+You+Are+Not+Alone\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share: Know That You Are Not Alone\"></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/know-that-you-are-not-alone/&media=https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/022719-min-150x150.jpg&description=Know That You Are Not Alone\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pin: Know That You Are Not Alone\"></a></div></div><a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"perma-link\" href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/know-that-you-are-not-alone/\" title=\"Know That You Are Not Alone\"></a></div><p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/know-that-you-are-not-alone/\">Know That You Are Not Alone</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, 27 Feb 2019 12:00:39 +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:14:\"Sarah Williams\";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:60:\"WPTavern: Block Editor Now in Beta for WordPress Mobile Apps\";s: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=87647\";s: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:71:\"https://wptavern.com/block-editor-now-in-beta-for-wordpress-mobile-apps\";s: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:2369:\"<p>The new Gutenberg block editor that arrived in WordPress 5.0 is <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/mobile/2019/02/26/the-block-editor-is-coming-to-the-mobile-apps/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">now in beta testing on the mobile apps</a>.

Even though it&#8217;s still rough around the edges, the posting interface is more consistent with what users experience on the desktop. During this transition time, users will retain the ability to use either editor, since the Gutenberg implementation just provides the basics for now.</p>\n<p>After version 11.9 rolls out to the apps, users can choose if they want to use the block editor. The app detects which editor a post was created with and will automatically open it when a user attempts to edit a post. Users can manually switch back to the old editor for posts that have blocks by selecting “Switch to Classic Editor” under the ellipses menu. New posts will still use the Classic Editor by default but users can change the default to the block editor by going to Me > App Settings and enabling the &#8220;Use Block Editor&#8221; option. </p>\n<p>After 11.9 is released the team plans to work on UX improvements and bug fixes before moving on to add support for the most common blocks and use cases.</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, 27 Feb 2019 01:00:28 +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:82:\"WPTavern: Gumroad Plugin for WordPress Adds Gutenberg Block for Embedding Products\";s: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=87606\";s: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:93:\"https://wptavern.com/gumroad-plugin-for-wordpress-adds-gutenberg-block-for-embedding-products\";s: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:2290:\"<p><a href=\"https://gumroad.com/\">Gumroad</a> has updated its WordPress <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/gumroad/\">plugin</a> to include a Gutenberg block for embedding a product in any page or post.

The upcoming release will be led by Matt Mullenweg with Josepha Haden acting as Release Coordinator. Gary Pendergast posted a <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2019/02/19/wordpress-5-2-schedule-and-scope/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">proposed scope and schedule</a> that would have 5.2 arriving April 23, 2019. </p>\n<p>One of the proposed features is block management, the ability for users to hide or turn off blocks that they are not using. An avalanche of blocks is pouring into the WordPress ecosystem, especially with the push to convert core widgets to blocks. Users&#8217; expectations will soon become firmly rooted in the concept of the block interface as widgets slowly become a relic of the past. It&#8217;s also quite common for users to install block collections that introduce a dozen or more new blocks when they really only have use for a handful of blocks.</p>\n<p>Several standalone plugins already provide block management features, such as <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/manager-for-gutenberg/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Gutenberg Manager</a> and <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-gutenberg-blocks/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Disable Gutenberg Blocks</a>. They all have different UI&#8217;s and approaches to letting users turn off blocks. For example, Gutenberg Manager uses a tabbed interface with checkboxes for disabling core blocks. The Disable Gutenberg Blocks plugin offers an admin screen that is similar to plugin management:</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/disable-gutenberg-blocks.jpg?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>A few block collections have also implemented their own block management features, including <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-gutenberg-blocks/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Advanced Gutenberg Blocks</a> and <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/coblocks/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CoBlocks</a>. Advanced Gutenberg Blocks adds a screen under its own top level menu for disabling blocks.  </p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/advanced-gutenberg-blocks-disable-blocks.jpg?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://coblocks.com/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CoBlocks</a> recently introduced a block management feature that is one of the more elegant implementations currently available. It adds the block management interface inline with the editor in a modal window, instead of relegating it to its own admin page. It also offers the ability to turn entire categories on/off.  </p>\n<p></p>\n<p>After CoBlocks announced its block management feature, Nick Hamze contended that this should be replicated for WordPress core. His comments received a bit of pushback from Gutenberg technical lead Riad Benguella who sees it as a feature for more advanced users.</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Yeah, nice plugin. It feels like something for advanced WordPress users / developers / agencies&#8230; and not something that should be baked in initially but happy to discuss.</p>\n<p>&mdash; Riad Benguella (@riadbenguella) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/riadbenguella/status/1096382553521602560?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 15, 2019</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<p>&#8220;The ability to disable blocks seems pretty basic,&#8221; Hamze <a href=\"https://twitter.com/NickHamze/status/1096400194311254017\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">responded</a>. &#8220;Rich didn&#8217;t make this feature for fun. Regular users (not advanced ones or developers) asked for this. He made it to solve a problem that real users are having. You are telling me that more regular users will use the Amazon Kindle Embed Block (that is being baking into 5.1) than would like the ability to turn off blocks they don&#8217;t want to use.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Last week when I spoke to Benguella about the possibility of block management capabilities being included in core sometime in the future, he said it wasn&#8217;t an immediate priority for the project.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Block management is not an immediate focus in the Gutenberg roadmap and is considered plugin territory, but we keep close attention to the work done in the community and adapt in case user research and suggestions that bring value for the majority of users,&#8221; Benguella said. &#8220;My personal opinion for the moment is that, these are advanced features not required by every user of WordPress.</p>\n<p>&#8220;That said, it&#8217;s important to enable plugin developers to implement more block management features, and one important piece of the puzzle here is the work we&#8217;re doing right now to <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/13693\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">improve the block registration and discovery both using REST APIs, PHP helpers and JavaScript APIs</a>.&#8221;</p>\n<p>The project&#8217;s priorities seem to have changed since that time, as block management is now a strong consideration for WordPress 5.2. Thousands of users have already installed a plugin that includes these kinds of capabilities, a good indication that there is a demand for this. As everything in the plugin ecosystem gradually moves towards blocks, it will be easy for users to get inundated by the many blocks available in the editor. Plugins are currently answering users&#8217; needs with many different UI&#8217;s for turning blocks on/off. It&#8217;s clear that WordPress core needs to lead the way by providing a standard UI for block management.</p>\n<p>In recent #core-editor chats Benguella said he has some concerns regarding the short time frame for the newly proposed block management feature, but is starting initial explorations of what the first iteration may look like in WordPress 5.2.</p>\n<p>&#8220;So in addition to the currently shipped enhancements and the work done on the widget blocks, there has been a bunch of requests and feedback suggesting the need for a block management solution and block directory work,&#8221; Benguella said. &#8220;This is actually proposed for 5.2 and something we need to start thinking about and exploring the existing possibilities.&#8221; </p>\n<p>Pendergast referenced CoBlocks&#8217; implementation in his <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2019/02/19/wordpress-5-2-schedule-and-scope/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">5.2 scope and schedule post</a> as an example of how plugin developers have approached block management.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We weren’t the first by far, but I’d argue it’s clearly the best experience,&#8221; CoBlocks author Rich Tabor said. &#8220;I built it because folks have been asking for just that, and I wanted to deliver a much better experience than asking them to go to a WP admin page elsewhere. I’d love to see something like the Block Manager in core and am available to help out in any way I can.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Other proposed features for WordPress 5.2 include the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Site Health Check</a> plugin, PHP error protection, and package signing for updates. The first beta is expected March 14, 2019, and RC 1 is slated for April 10, 2019.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Mon, 25 Feb 2019 17:22:38 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i: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:113:\"WPTavern: Ecwid E-Commerce Plugin Adds Gutenberg Support, Focuses on Small Businesses to Compete with WooCommerce\";s: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=87223\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:123:\"https://wptavern.com/ecwid-e-commerce-plugin-adds-gutenberg-support-focuses-on-small-businesses-to-compete-with-woocommerce\";s: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:5542:\"<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/ecwid-shopping-cart/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ecwid&#8217;s e-commerce plugin for WordPress</a> is now fully integrated with the Gutenberg editor. The cloud-based store builder, pronounced &#8220;eck-wid,&#8221; is short for e-commerce widgets, but the service has fully embraced blocks in its latest releases. </p>\n<p>The new default Storefront block comes pre-installed and embeds the entire Ecwid store on a page, including product listing, filters, navigation, and checkout. It provides a quick way for a new seller to get everything working without having to do anything besides add the plugin. Inside the block sidebar, the seller can tweak the storefront&#8217;s appearance, including thumbnails, page layout, colors, and other settings. The short screencast below shows the block in action and part of it was featured during Matt Mullenweg&#8217;s State of the Word address in December 2018.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Ecwid also has a new Single Product block with a buy now button. It enables sellers to select a product and display it as a card with an image, title, and buy now button. This is convenient for using inside a blog post without having to open the whole storefront.  </p>\n<p>The team behind Ecwid is working on adding more Gutenberg blocks, despite having only a small fraction of their customers using WordPress. The company has more than 1.5 million customers running stores in 175 countries, but only 1.3% (20,000) are using WordPress. Even with so few active installations of the company&#8217;s WordPress plugin, Ecwid has its sights set on competing with WooCommerce, the most dominant player in this spacee. Last year at <a href=\"https://2018.moscow.wordcamp.org\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WordCamp Moscow</a>, Ecwid Product Manager Matvey Kuritsyn gave a presentation titled “Why does anyone need a WooCommerce alternative?” Much of the company&#8217;s strategy is outlined in the <a href=\"https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ElElYLGav9tJ1u99GidbSsfd5sVr-h7hsMrw5WTU-Ok/edit#slide=id.g3ecb0d6708_0_11\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">slides from that presentation</a>.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We are focusing on small businesses and resolving their problems — where WooCommerce is weak,&#8221; Ecwid Marketing Manager Kseniya Pinkova said. She identified a few ways that Ecwid is working to differentiate itself from competitors:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ecwid is easy-to-use. Developers can set it up very quickly, but also the end users can do that themselves. 75% of Ecwid installations on WordPress are made by the end users, not developers.</li>\n<li>With Ecwid, everything is in the cloud, which means we handle updates, security patches, backups, huge loads ourselves (with no actions required on the user side).</li>\n<li>Ecwid is secure, it’s PCI DSS Level 1 certified &#8211; a bank level of security.</li>\n<li>Ecwid works with any hosting (even the cheapest and crappiest ones) even if you have 10,000 products in your store.</li>\n<li>Ecwid provides customers support by email, chat, and phone.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>This level of security, support, and maintenance is only available for WooCommerce via a managed solution like <a href=\"https://wordpress.com/ecommerce/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress.com</a> or <a href=\"https://www.liquidweb.com/products/managed-woocommerce-hosting/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Liquid Web</a>, but sellers may still struggle with setup and customization due to the vast number of options and integrations available. Ecwid is focusing on its strengths as a SaaS-only solution to target small businesses in the WordPress space, instead of trying to replicate all the features that the dominant plugins already have.</p>\n<p>The company started in 2009 and has a distributed team of 160 people who work in development, IT, operations, support, content, and business development.</p>\n<p>&#8220;The WordPress plugin is technically a separate application (because Ecwid is a cloud solution, SaaS), and it appeared in 2009 as well,&#8221; Pinkova said. &#8220;But everything is interconnected — when a new featured is released in Ecwid, WordPress plugin users see it appear in their stores as well and can use it even without updating their WordPress plugin. For example, we rolled out new in-house Product Filters last week and they are now available for all Ecwid users, including those using WordPress. Some other features touch the WordPress plugin code — for example, some SEO enhancements involve both robust cloud part (API) and changes on the plugin side. The Gutenberg block is a good example of a third kind of Ecwid feature — it mostly resides in the plugin and it’s great to see how it improves the experience of our WordPress user base segment specifically.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Ecwid&#8217;s roadmap for 2019 includes tighter integration with Facebook and Instagram, an in-house multilingual catalog, and marketing features to help small businesses find their customers. Because the WordPress plugin essentially hooks up the cloud-based solution, many of the features and improvements on Ecwid&#8217;s general roadmap for all platforms will be automatically available whenever they roll out. </p>\n<p>&#8220;Regarding our WordPress plugin, the main thing for us is Gutenberg,&#8221; Pinkova said. &#8220;We’re very excited about it, we’re looking forward to new features Gutenberg is going to provide, and working on our plugin to make sure we’re making those available and easy-to-use for Ecwid sellers.&#8221;</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 22 Feb 2019 19:57:40 +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: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:101:\"WPTavern: WordPress 5.1 Improves Editor Performance, Encourages Users to Update Outdated PHP Versions\";s: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=87494\";s: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:111:\"https://wptavern.com/wordpress-5-1-improves-editor-performance-encourages-users-to-update-outdated-php-versions\";s: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><a href=\"https://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/betty-carter.jpg?ssl=1\"><img /></a>image credit: <a href=\"http://jazzmuseuminharlem.org/events/the-hall-of-fame-singer-betty-carter/\" target=\"_blank\">National Jazz Museum in Harlem</a></p>\n<p>WordPress 5.1 &#8220;Betty&#8221; was released today, honoring American jazz singer <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty_Carter\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Betty Carter</a>. This is the first major release since Gutenberg came into core. As part of WordPress&#8217; 2019 &#8220;<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wro3bqi4Eb8\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">tighten up</a>&#8221; theme, this release was focused on improving performance in the editor and helping users update outdated versions of PHP.</p>\n<p>WordPress 5.0 had been downloaded more than 35 million times prior to 5.1&#8217;s release. Users who have adopted the block editor will notice that it is much more responsive and writing posts should feel smoother. WordPress 5.1 includes the performance improvements from Gutenberg 4.8 &#8211; faster page initialization time, improved typing performance, and optimization of various background processes.</p>\n<p>This release introduces new features from the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2019/01/14/php-site-health-mechanisms-in-5-1/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Site Health</a> project. WordPress will now detect if a site is running on an insecure, outdated version of PHP and display a notice in the dashboard with information about how to update PHP. It also includes checks for PHP version compatibility with plugins. WordPress 5.1+ will prevent users from installing plugins that require newer versions of PHP than they have running.</p>\n<p>This release also introduces a medley of miscellaneous improvements under the hood for developers, including (but not limited to) the following:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>New database table to store metadata associated with multisite networks</li>\n<li>Updated Cron API with new functions to assist with returning data, new filters for modifying cron storage </li>\n<li>New JavaScript build processes</li>\n<li>Updates to values for the WP_DEBUG_LOG constant</li>\n<li>Improved taxonomy metabox sanitization</li>\n</ul>\n<p>WordPress 5.1 was led by Matt Mullenweg with help from Gary Pendergast and 561 contributors. Approximately 41% (231 people) were new contributors to the project.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 22 Feb 2019 00:29:53 +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:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:24;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:35:\"Dev Blog: WordPress 5.1 “Betty”\";s: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=6589\";s: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:41:\"https://wordpress.org/news/2019/02/betty/\";s: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:42726:\"<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\"></div>\n\n\n\n<h2>A Little Better Every Day</h2>\n\n\n\n<img src=\"https://s.w.org/images/core/5.1/update.svg\" alt=\"\" />\n\n\n\n<p>Version 5.1 of WordPress, named &#8220;Betty&#8221; in honour of acclaimed jazz vocalist Betty Carter, is available for download or update in your WordPress dashboard.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2018/12/bebo/\">WordPress 5.0</a> — a major release which introduced the new block editor — 5.1 focuses on polish, in particular by improving the overall performance of the editor. In addition, this release paves the way for a better, faster, and more secure WordPress with some essential tools for site administrators and developers.</p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\"></div>\n\n\n\n<h2>Site Health</h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image inline-svg\"><img src=\"https://s.w.org/images/core/5.1/site-health.svg\" alt=\"\" width=\"191\" height=\"168\" /></div>\n\n\n\n<p>With security and speed in mind, this release introduces WordPress’s first <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2019/01/14/php-site-health-mechanisms-in-5-1/\">Site Health</a> features. WordPress will start showing notices to administrators of sites that run long-outdated versions of PHP, which is the programming language that powers WordPress.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you install new plugins, WordPress&#8217;s Site Health features will check them against the version of PHP you&#8217;re running.

Most significantly, WordPress 5.1 includes solid performance improvements within the editor.

All widgets have now been <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2019/02/18/porting-widgets-to-blocks-feb-18-2019/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ported over to blocks</a>, a major Phase 2 milestone. The next phase of that project will explore how the widgets screen will change in response to core widgets becoming blocks.</p>\n<p>Version 5.1 also brings more polishes to existing blocks, introducing micro-animations for a smoother experience when <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/13617\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">hovering over menus</a> or <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/13635\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">accessing the sidebar</a> in the editor.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://cloudup.com/ceCaS-RNWKi\"><img src=\"https://i2.wp.com/cldup.com/XkGFmONOUH.gif?resize=627%2C408&ssl=1\" alt=\"New menus\" width=\"627\" height=\"408\" /></a></p>\n<p>This release includes dozens of small stylistic improvements to blocks for a more consistent display, improvements to CSS specificity of styles, more options for the Quote block styling, improvements to using the editor on mobile devices, and lots of bug fixes. Documentation is also progressing with a new tutorial for working with editor notices, expanded JavaScript build tools documentation, and enhanced block edit/save documentation and code examples.</p>\n<p>Gutenberg phase 2 technical lead Riad Benguella also included a table of benchmarks, showing the editor&#8217;s performance improvements since it was first released in WordPress 5.0. Each release of the plugin since then has significantly cut the loading time, and this is a noteworthy improvement to continue tracking. </p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Screen-Shot-2019-02-21-at-1.33.43-PM.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>These benchmarks compare performance for a post with approximately 36,000 words and 1,000 blocks.

In September 2018, Sacha Greif and his collaborators sent out the State of JS survey for the third year running but dropped the CSS libraries category in favor of keeping it from getting too long. The new <a href=\"https://stateofcss.com/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">State of CSS</a> survey takes up this category and expands upon it.</p>\n<p>The success of the State of JS survey has brought valuable information to the industry for developers, employers, startups, project maintainers, and even those who are just beginning their coding journey and wondering which frameworks are worth learning. The 2018 State of JS survey received more than 20,000 responses. Results showed that React was once again the most popular front-end framework and Vue.js received the highest satisfaction rating. The detailed results are influential in helping framework maintainers know how the development community perceives their projects.</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I think Vue got the highest satisfaction rating among frameworks in State of JS this year (91.2%) &#8211; thanks to our users, and we aim to do even better! Hope we can change the mind of the 568 people who don’t want to use it again ;) <a href=\"https://t.co/7MrM8Y4ekq\">https://t.co/7MrM8Y4ekq</a></p>\n<p>&mdash; Evan You (@youyuxi) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/youyuxi/status/1064659533975429120?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 19, 2018</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<p>The new survey for CSS developers was created to help identify the latest trends in the rapidly changing CSS landscape. It includes the following topics:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>CSS Features – Grid, Flexbox…</li>\n<li>Tools – preprocessors, frameworks…</li>\n<li>Environments – Browsers, devices…</li>\n<li>Resources – Blogs, podcasts…</li>\n<li>Opinions – How you feel about CSS</li>\n<li>About You – Experience, salary…</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://stateofcss.com/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">State of CSS Survey</a> is powered by <a href=\"http://typeform.com\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Typeform</a> and all questions are optional. It is quick to scroll through and can take as little as 10 minutes to complete.

It is essentially a WordPress Tamagotchi, or digital pet, that resides in your dashboard and monitors the health of the site. </p>\n<p>The plugin checks to make sure WordPress has been updated (plugins, themes, and core) and backups have run. Wapuu&#8217;s appearance will change based on these factors. Thorpe used her illustration skills to create the images, which indicate if wapuu is feeling <a href=\"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wapuu-dashboard-pet/trunk/images/dead.png\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">dead</a>, <a href=\"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wapuu-dashboard-pet/trunk/images/happy.png\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">happy</a>, <a href=\"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wapuu-dashboard-pet/trunk/images/sad.png\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">sad</a>, <a href=\"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wapuu-dashboard-pet/trunk/images/sick.png\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">sick</a>, or <a href=\"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wapuu-dashboard-pet/trunk/images/verysick.png\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">very sick</a>. The threshold for a dead wapuu is 10+ updates. The example below is a &#8220;very sick&#8221; wapuu on a site with five or more updates pending. </p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Screen-Shot-2019-02-20-at-12.19.12-PM.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>After updating, the happy and healthy wapuu is displayed, as shown below.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Screen-Shot-2019-02-20-at-12.30.11-PM.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>The Wapuu Dashboard Pet is featured at the bottom of every page in the admin. It also comes with an option to enable weekly email notifications that will only send if wapuu is feeling sick (has one or more updates available). This feature can help site administrators who don&#8217;t log into their dashboards very often, resulting in more updated and secure WordPress sites.</p>\n<p>The plugin is currently very effective in its simplicity but there are a lot of interesting features that its authors could add. It could be set up to check for PHP and MySQL versions, similar to what the Health Check plugin offers. It would also be useful if wapuu could detect whether or not any of the necessary updates are security-related, which might inspire administrators to act faster on the emails. There may be other useful applications for forks of this plugin, such as a wapuu that helps bloggers stay on track with their monthly posting goals.</p>\n<p>When wapuu is feeling unwell, the image displayed is a pathetic-looking creature that appears to have been left out in the rain.

We really don’t understand why the company Yoast is being attacked, why the #yoastcon is being used for something the person Joost did 10 years ago. Our company and our company culture is nothing like the tweets imply.</p></blockquote>\n<p>van de Rakt also referenced <a href=\"https://medium.com/@gisele_navarro/dear-seo-industry-we-need-to-talk-about-elitism-and-sexual-harassment-23a338e56e73\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a post from Gisele Navarro</a>, a woman who has been working in the SEO industry for 10 years.  </p>\n<p>&#8220;I totally agree with Gisele that the SEO industry was not welcoming to women ten years ago,&#8221; van de Rakt said. &#8220;And although some things may have changed, I still think that the SEO industry has a long way to go. I also think that the problem is much bigger than the SEO industry.&#8221;</p>\n<p>After the tweets and videos began circulating on the #YoastCon hashtag, the @yoast Twitter account was quietly scrubbed of potentially offensive tweets.

Since the tweets were public, many onlookers said they felt uncomfortable reading these types of interactions within a professional context. </p>\n<p>Navarro&#8217;s post described how the tweets made her feel as an outside onlooker working in the male-dominated SEO industry: </p>\n<blockquote><p>I don’t know the story behind the &#8216;friendly and consensual sexual banter&#8217; (as someone called it) of those tweets so I’ve got zero context on how the conversations led to Joost saying things like:</p>\n<p><i><strong>&#8216;I bet you’d look good, even when pregnant ;-)&#8217;</p>\n<p>&#8216;Ahem, why are you not naked indeed?&#8217;</p>\n<p>&#8216;Nothing beats a yummy young mummy :)&#8217;</strong></i></p>\n<p>When I read those tweets, that was all I could think of &#8211; Decades of obscenities been pushed on me by men who thought that was normal, acceptable behavior.</p>\n<p>I thought about how much it would have crushed me back then if someone I respected were to have said something like that to me. I wondered if I would still be part of the SEO community had that happened.</p>\n<p>I imagined how would I have felt if before or after that tweet, I were to have been an attendee at SEOktoberfest surrounded by Playboy escorts who touched themselves looking at the camera while I was having a beer in a corner, trying to network my way to a job interview at an agency I loved.</p></blockquote>\n<p>After the tweets and videos began to get attention on the #YoastCon hashtag, many in the SEO industry dismissed the content as an attack orchestrated by trolls who they alleged are also guilty of harassment. Several spoke out against David Cohen in particular, who had originally started the controversy by unearthing the old content, describing him as the person behind other troll accounts known for sending harassing tweets. </p>\n<p>Regardless of how the old content came to light on Twitter, both Joost de Valk and Yoast CEO Marieke van de Rakt have admitted that the tweets and videos are indefensible and not representative of their company&#8217;s current push to empower women.</p>\n<p>Navarro&#8217;s post calls readers to look at the tweets and videos from the perspective of someone working in the SEO industry, wondering if they should attend conferences after seeing leaders and role models behaving this way:</p>\n<blockquote><p>To those of you who are defending the SEO personality that is Joost: remove the so-called SEO trolls and #YoastCon from the picture, go through the tweets and ask yourself how would YOU feel if someone you look up to says those things to you on a public forum. Would you feel comfortable attending a conference knowing this person would be there? Would you want him to be your boss? Would you feel safe around this person? Would you have anybody to talk to about what happened and how you felt? Would you even bring it up?</p></blockquote>\n<p>The #YoastCon Twitter controversy has had the positive effect of highlighting behavior and public communication styles that need to be addressed in order to create a more welcoming and diverse SEO industry. In spite of the recent challenges, van de Rakt said she is hopeful that her company can continue working towards creating &#8220;an atmosphere at conferences that is friendly for all people, regardless of their gender.&#8221; On this Navarro and van de Rakt both agree &#8211; the conditions for women working in the SEO industry are ripe for improvement.</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, 20 Feb 2019 05:22:32 +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:31;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:50:\"WPTavern: Alex Mills Ends His Battle With Leukemia\";s: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=87400\";s: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:61:\"https://wptavern.com/alex-mills-ends-his-battle-with-leukemia\";s: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:5232:\"<p>Today, we are reminded that life is fleeting and that plugins, themes, and WordPress itself is built and maintained by humans.

The vulnerability specifically affects usage of the tooltip and popover features: </p>\n<blockquote><p>Earlier this week a developer reported an XSS issue similar to the data-target vulnerability that was fixed in v4.1.2 and v3.4.0: the data-template attribute for our tooltip and popover plugins lacked proper XSS sanitization of the HTML that can be passed into the attribute’s value.</p></blockquote>\n<p>The fix includes a new JavaScript sanitizer that allows only whitelisted HTML elements in the data attribute. Developers can modify Bootstrap&#8217;s sanitization implementation or customize their own function. In addition to patching the vulnerability, Bootstrap has published new sanitizer documentation for versions <a href=\"https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.3/getting-started/javascript/#sanitizer\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">4.3</a> and <a href=\"https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.4/javascript/#js-sanitizer\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">3.4</a>. </p>\n<p>According to data from <a href=\"https://trends.builtwith.com/docinfo/Twitter-Bootstrap\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">BuiltWith</a>, Bootstrap is used by approximately 16% of the internet. It is also used widely in WordPress plugins and themes. There are <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/bootstrap/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">hundreds of listings in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory that implement Bootstrap</a> in one way or another. Many of them have not been updated for months or even longer than a year. It&#8217;s tough to say which ones may be affected by this vulnerability, as it depends on how the plugin author has implemented Bootstrap and, in some cases, what the users have decided to output to the frontend. If you have a plugin or theme that uses Bootstrap, it may be worth getting in touch with the author to see if a security update will be necessary.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 19 Feb 2019 19:54:10 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:33;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:27:\"Dev Blog: WordPress 5.1 RC2\";s: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=6585\";s: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://wordpress.org/news/2019/02/wordpress-5-1-rc2/\";s: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:3060:\"<p>The second release candidate for WordPress 5.1 is now available!</p>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress 5.1 will be released on <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/5-1/\"><strong>Thursday, February 21</strong></a>, but we need <em>your</em> help to get there—if you haven’t tried 5.1 yet, now is the time!</p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two ways to test the WordPress 5.1 release candidate: try the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-beta-tester/\">WordPress Beta Tester</a> plugin (you’ll want to select the “bleeding edge nightlies” option), or you can <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/wordpress-5.1-RC2.zip\">download the release candidate here</a> (zip).</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For details about what to expect in WordPress 5.1, please see the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2019/02/wordpress-5-1-release-candidate/\">first release candidate post</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This release includes the final About page design.

Someone mentioned the other day how they learned HTML through View Source, and I did that as well, but then it occurred to me that I learned how to do <em>that</em> through WordPerfect&#8217;s &#8220;View Codes.&#8221; Same idea, different platform.</p>\n<p>The college that I went to had a VAX/VMS computer network for the whole campus. Dumb terminals with either green or orange letters hooked up to a computer that was probably five feet tall, eight feet long, and about four feet wide. It could do email so that we could send an Electronic Message all the way across campus!  It was incredible. Then I was told we were going to be connected to The Internet. I remember where I was standing, and who I was talking to when I said the words &#8220;What&#8217;s the Internet?&#8221;</p>\n<p>A year later we got a World Wide Web client installed, called Lynx. It took me a while to figure out why it was better than Gopher, but then I loved it. One day a friend said, &#8220;Hey, look what I made!&#8221; and he had made his own web page. I was floored.  He said, &#8220;You should do it too!&#8221;  I said &#8220;No, I could never figure that out&#8221; to which he responded, &#8220;Sure, let me show you.&#8221;  That right there summarizes how I&#8217;ve tried to treat new people in my profession.</p>\n<p>He showed me how HTML worked, and I learned every single HTML tag in about an hour.  There were only about 30 tags, and the H tags were six of them.</p>\n<p>Within a year people were paying me to build web pages.  (Here&#8217;s <a href=\"https://topher1kenobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/cornerstone_college_website_lynx.png\">a screenshot of my first paid web gig</a>.)</p>\n<p>I did plain HTML for a number of years. <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Side_Includes\">Server Side Includes</a> came and went. In 1997 someone asked me to build a site with <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP#Early_history\">PHP/FI 2.0</a>, so I went home from work, went to <a href=\"http://devshed.com/\">devshed.com</a> and looked up an article on how to do that, thus starting my career as a PHP developer.</p>\n<p>A couple of years later &#8220;cascading style sheets&#8221; looked like they were here to stay and I picked those up and became a &#8220;full stack developer&#8221; though no-one used that phrase back then.  I was a Webmaster.</p>\n<p>When WordPress was first released, I was working at a University, teaching a class on the side for fun.  It was Intro to Web Development. Each student had to do a project, so I decided to take one on as well.  I built a blogging system to compete with WordPress. To my knowledge, one other person used it, ever. But I used it for about ten years. I didn&#8217;t really like WordPress back then because it really WAS &#8220;just for blogging.&#8221; Trying to make it do other things was hard.</p>\n<p>But then came WordPress 3.0 with Custom Post Types, and everything changed. WordPress morphed into a real CMS with that one version.</p>\n<p>In 2010 I went freelance (on purpose!) about the same time 3.0 came out, and I immediately started using it, and haven&#8217;t really used anything else since.</p>\n<p><strong>DK: I&#8217;m curious, how did you come by the nickname &#8220;Topher?&#8221; Is there a good story there?</strong></p>\n<p><strong>TD:</strong> When I was three, my Aunt was babysitting, and she asked me if I knew what my middle name was.  I knew my first name was Chris, last name DeRosia, and full name Christopher DeRosia, so I assumed Topher was my middle name. She laughed and wrote it on the fridge notebook and called my Grandma etc. I still have the paper she wrote it on. People called me Topher very occasionally until college when there were four Chris&#8217; on my dorm floor. We each picked something, and I&#8217;ve been 100% Topher ever since. When I was young and vain, I considered making it a mononym, but&#8230; such a nerd.</p>\n<p><strong>DK: What have you learned from HeroPress over time? Did it surprise you in any way, what people had to say? What do you think about people and groups on the &#8220;fringe&#8221; of the WordPress community today? Who/what are we (North Americans) least attentive to/aware of?</strong></p>\n<p><strong>TD:</strong> I read your question about what I&#8217;ve learned from HeroPress over time and then sat in my chair for a good ten minutes just thinking about everything. HeroPress has become so pervasive in my personal relationships with people that it&#8217;s hard for me to separate these days. I never thought I would be such close friends with people so far away. People I laugh with, cry with, talk long into the night, have days-long conversations on Twitter.</p>\n<p>Most times when I approach someone about being a contributor I have some idea of their background, so while surprises happen they&#8217;re not usually too big. One time that really blew my mind though was at WCUS in Philly. A speaker looked like a good candidate, and so without knowing anything about her, I approached her in the hall and introduced myself. I asked if I could tell her about my project, HeroPress, and she agreed.  About 20 seconds into my pitch she started sobbing. Deeply and loudly. I was literally speechless. As it turns out she had a story that needed to be told, a story that started with a family leaving her country of origin when she was very young, and all the things that happened to her after that. I cried then with her, and I&#8217;m crying a little bit now as I write it. I will always say that HeroPress has affected me personally more than anyone else in the world.</p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve learned that people are diverse, so I can&#8217;t say anyone is like X or wants Y because of my perception of where they live. Some poor people want money.  Some don&#8217;t. Some people want freedom. Some never think about it. It doesn&#8217;t matter where they live or what they have; I can never assume about them.</p>\n<p>I have noticed that wealthier people tend to forget they&#8217;re wealthy and take it for granted. They usually don&#8217;t feel wealthy. One WordPress person might say &#8220;I&#8217;m a little short on cash this year, I&#8217;ll only go to one WordCamp.&#8221;  Another WordPress person might say &#8220;I wish attending WordCamp didn&#8217;t cost two years salary.&#8221; Or perhaps &#8220;I wish people I don&#8217;t know didn&#8217;t think I was a terrorist, so I could go learn.&#8221; I feel so flippant sometimes. I want to learn something, so I spend $100 on an online class. My friend wants to learn the same thing, and $100 is six months salary. Even in wealthy nations like America, where our poorest are among the richest internationally, WordCamp is a couple of months rent, or gas, or electricity.</p>\n<p>I could write for a long time, but it has been impressed upon me the difference in life choices between the haves and the have nots.</p>\n<p><strong>DK: How do you look at your freelance career now? What kind of work did you do? And how did that path lead to Sandhills, Modern Tribe, and now BigCommerce?</strong></p>\n<p><strong>TD:</strong> I started freelancing in college, though I didn&#8217;t know that&#8217;s what it was called, or even that people actually did it for a living. I was just picking up odd jobs. After I graduated, rather than get a Real Job, I just kept taking contracts. A few months after graduation I took a three-month contract with Kellogg&#8217;s and built their first intranet web site. Netscape 3 was the hotness at the time.</p>\n<p>After that, I took a real job at a hosting company of sorts, and I was there until 2000 when I took a job at my old university running their radio station websites for ten years.  I never quit freelancing on the side though. Always there was someone emailing me saying &#8220;Hey, my brother&#8217;s wife&#8217;s uncle&#8217;s nephew says you do internet. Can you help?&#8221; Or worse &#8220;Hi there, someone told me you know web stuff, my username and password are *****. Can you help?&#8221;</p>\n<p>Over Christmas break in 2009, my wife and I were talking, and I realized I had spent all of every evening working on side work for two years <em>solid</em>. I was spending eight hours a day at work making $25/hr (granted, with benefits etc.) and three hours every evening making $65/hr. We reasoned that if I got that day job out of the way and managed four billable hours a day, we&#8217;d be in about the same position.  Except I wouldn&#8217;t be at the office eight hours a day (nine if you include driving) and I&#8217;d get my evenings back.  What&#8217;s not to like? <a href=\"https://topher1kenobe.com/freelance-freedom/\">So in February 2010, I was done</a>.</p>\n<p>People often ask me &#8220;How do you know when it&#8217;s time to freelance?&#8221; The answer is, start now, on the side.  When you&#8217;re making enough that the day job is getting in the way, fire it.</p>\n<p>As for what kind of work I did, there&#8217;s some irony. Before 2010 I did all custom PHP/MySQL/HTML/CSS stuff. 2010 is when WordPress 3.0 came out and changed everything. I did only WordPress after that. So the metric I had based my freelance career on changed as soon as I started full time.  But it worked out.</p>\n<p>I wasn&#8217;t very good with WordPress when I started, but I was a very good PHP dev, so I quickly learned how to mess with custom post types. Most implementors didn&#8217;t know how but needed them, so I did a <i>lot</i> of work for other WordPress devs. I would say the majority of my freelance work since 2010 has been building doodads for other WordPress developers, as opposed to building websites.</p>\n<p>Somewhere around 2011, a client talked me into joining their startup. I become CTO, and it was sort of a Real Job.  Then we took investment and became a really Real Job. <a href=\"https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/varsity-news-network\">Varsity News Network</a> is still going today. While there I built a monolithic plugin that did everything I could think of — it was ridiculous.  It was my first plugin, and it showed. It was decently secure and whatnot, but I didn&#8217;t fully understand hooks and filters, and the whole thing was a bit of a mess.  But who doesn&#8217;t look at their code from eight years ago and cringe?</p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t really enjoy my time there, and my partner knew it, so in the summer of 2013 he took me out to breakfast and fired me. It was awkward because that meant I didn&#8217;t have a job or insurance anymore, but he was right, I didn&#8217;t want to be there. It also meant I had to go tell my wife that we were out of work.</p>\n<p>There were some upsides, however. My partner went to bat for me with the board and got me my stock options, without having to work six more months to vest them. Also, there was a New Thing in the WordPress world: agencies. I&#8217;d been hearing about one called 10up, and I knew there were others. By this time I knew some people in the WordPress world, and I felt pretty confident I could get a job fast. I emailed a friend at 10up, and he said, &#8220;You need to talk to Jake.&#8221; So a few minutes later I was talking Jake at 10up.  He gave me some advice and gave me a test to take to see if I&#8217;d fit in there. I&#8217;m going to skip ahead here, because the next few months are an interesting story in and of themselves, and it would make this tome even more epic.</p>\n<p>Long story short, <a href=\"https://topher1kenobe.com/new-job/\">I started a trial with X-Team in November of 2013</a> and went full time in January. I worked there until the fall of 2013 when Dave Rosen, the owner of X-Team/XWP approached me about <a href=\"https://heropress.com/about/\">starting HeroPress</a>. HeroPress took about four months to fail, and during that time several people approached me and said &#8220;If this doesn&#8217;t work out, come see me,&#8221; which was a very nice safety net.</p>\n<p>Of course, it did fail. <a href=\"https://topher1kenobe.com/moving-forward/\">I went and saw Pippin Williamson</a> and worked for him writing docs for about a year and a half. In the spring of 2016, I wasn&#8217;t very happy writing docs. Pippin was great, the company was great, but I just didn&#8217;t fit well. I heard Peter Chester from Modern Tribe talk about how they work, and getting back to coding sounded like just the thing to me. <a href=\"https://topher1kenobe.com/a-new-job-at-modern-tribe/\">I worked there for about five months</a>. Some miscommunication during hiring put me in a position I was ill-suited for, and it wasn&#8217;t good for either of us.</p>\n<p>After that, <a href=\"https://topher1kenobe.com/a-grand-experiment/\">I joined with Tanner Moushey for about a year</a> to spin up a WordPress agency. In typical startup fashion it was a lot of hard work and not quite enough pay for either of us, so we ended that at the beginning of 2018, and I had to decide what I wanted to do next.</p>\n<p>I freelanced for about six months. What I really wanted was a community job — something where I did a lot of shaking hands and kissing babies.</p>\n<p>Then at 11:33 PM on June 11th, my friend Luke sent me this in Slack:</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-54974\" src=\"https://cdn.poststatus.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/topher-sms.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1294\" height=\"152\" /></p>\n<p>This may come as a surprise to you, but I WAS interested. A week later they made an offer, and I accepted. <a href=\"https://topher1kenobe.com/a-dream-job/\">I started at BigCommerce on my birthday, 17 July</a>.</p>\n<p><strong>DK: So do you get to do a lot of shaking hands and kissing babies as a WordPress Developer Evangelist?</strong></p>\n<p><strong>TD:</strong> A lot of shaking hands, not too many babies yet, which is sad, I love babies.  <img src=\"https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/1f642.png\" alt=\"🙂\" class=\"wp-smiley\" /> I&#8217;ve been tasked with going to twenty WordCamps in 2019, and I travel in person to at least one Meetup per month. On top of that, I spend a ton of time talking with people on Slack, Twitter, Hangouts, etc.</p>\n<p><strong>DK: Tell us about the good news of headless eCommerce.</strong></p>\n<p><strong>TD:</strong> The joys of headless eCommerce are many.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>You build the presentation layer of your store in whatever language you&#8217;re most comfortable with. With a good enough API, the language really doesn&#8217;t matter. PHP, .Net, React, Rails, whatever you want. If you change your mind two years later, fine, your store is all still there with everything important still configured.</li>\n<li>It makes your website much more modular. By this, I mean that you can build a website and connect it to your store.  Then you can build <em>another</em> website and also connect it to your store.  Then a mobile app. Then Amazon, or eBay, or Facebook.</li>\n<li>It leaves the hardest parts of eCommerce to people who do nothing else but that. They know all the intricacies of PCI compliance, they have entire teams dedicated to security, and there&#8217;s 24/7 support</li>\n<li>A SaaS typically has quite a bit of leverage with third-party services like shippers and credit card processors. This means they can not only get solid integrations but also at prices you can afford. For example, BigCommerce has a deal with Braintree to offer the lowest PayPal rates anywhere. A SaaS has the power of volume when negotiating on your behalf with third-party services.  There&#8217;s huge value in that.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>DK: Is BigCommerce unique in the WordPress space?</strong></p>\n<p><strong>TD:</strong> Depends on how you define it.  <img src=\"https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/1f642.png\" alt=\"🙂\" class=\"wp-smiley\" />  There are other eCommerce plugins, and there are other SaaS plugins.  There&#8217;s even a Shopify plugin that works over API just like BigCommerce. That said, Shopify&#8217;s API handles two requests per second out of the box, whereas BigCommerce&#8217;s does 400 per second.  I think if you want to look at the purely SaaS angle, plugins like OptinMonster and Kraken.io started the movement.  I think larger companies like BigCommerce are going to help turn the tide toward heavy SaaSification (<a href=\"https://twitter.com/mor10/status/1084887261471072257\">that&#8217;s a @Mor10 term</a>).</p>\n<p><strong>DK: Are developers or site owners hesitant to move inventory to an API-first service where pricing is based on fixed API call limits?  Or is this what the future of WordPress looks like, as a Digital Experience Platform?</strong></p>\n<p><strong>TD:</strong> We haven&#8217;t seen that with the developers who use our platform most. The most traffic we&#8217;ve ever gotten is a small fraction of what our theoretical limits are on the API, so there hasn&#8217;t been any concern there. Mostly what we&#8217;ve seen is excitement about being able to break out of our built-in Stencil framework and build without limits, while keeping the core power of the eCommerce platform. (Here&#8217;s <a href=\"https://firewiresurfboards.com/\">a simple example</a>.) There&#8217;s a simple form where you can put in your weight and skill level, and it will tell you your surfboard volume. In WordPress, that&#8217;s ridiculously simple, but in Stencil, on BigCommerce it would be really hard.  Putting WordPress on the front end of BigCommerce gives the benefits of both platforms.</p>\n<p>Something that has really surprised me is the excitement of agencies that have been working in Stencil on BigCommerce for years. Most of them also do WordPress sites, and they are <em>thrilled</em> at the possibilities. I know of more than one agency that is giving up all other eCommerce options (like Magento or Shopify) to go exclusively BigCommerce on WordPress. It&#8217;s very exciting.</p>\n<p><strong>DK: What do you do when you&#8217;re not working to relax or to decompress when you&#8217;re off work?</strong></p>\n<p><strong>TD:</strong> I typically spend time with my family watching TV or playing games.

The blueprints are templates that provide a starting point where users can create a new skill by filling in the blanks and then publish it to the store for US customers. </p>\n<p>This first round of blueprints is targeted at content creators, bloggers, and organizations. It includes blueprints for personal trainers, flashcards, facts, quizzes, and a fable blueprint for storytellers. There are also new blueprints available called University and Spiritual Talks for live and recorded audio content from institutions and organizations.</p>\n<p>Amazon has also created a blueprint specifically for WordPress blogs. It works in connection with the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-polly/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon AI Plugin for WordPress</a> to read blogs aloud on Alexa-enabled devices. Setup is not trivial but it is much easier for users than having to create their own blueprints from scratch.</p>\n<h3>How to Get Alexa to Read Your WordPress Blog Aloud</h3>\n<p>According to Amazon&#8217;s announcement, the new <a href=\"https://blueprints.amazon.com/bp/amzn.ask.bp.560100e2-ff88-496b-846c-6fb44445d5d0\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress blog blueprint</a> converts posts into speech and creates an audio RSS feed:</p>\n<blockquote><p>The Amazon AI Plugin for WordPress is a sample application that enables WordPress bloggers to easily convert their blog posts into speech by leveraging Text-to-Speech (TTS) and translation tools provided by Amazon. Bloggers can generate an audio feed (RSS feed) for text-based blog content, and simply add this to the new Blog blueprint to create and publish their own Alexa skill.</p></blockquote>\n<p>If you want to get this working for your WordPress blog, the first step is to install the official <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-polly/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon AI Plugin for WordPress</a>. Follow the instructions on the <a href=\"https://blueprints.amazon.com/bp/amzn.ask.bp.560100e2-ff88-496b-846c-6fb44445d5d0\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Blog skill blueprint</a> page. The plugin will generate an RSS feed that you will enter into your skill content section. It also needs to be configured with the AWS access key, secret key, and AWS region. There are options available for specifying a post type, enable logging, audio player settings, the ability to exclude certain tags from generating audio, translations, audio excerpts, and more.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/amazon-plugin-for-wp.png?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>After setting up the plugin, you can complete the blueprint by customizing the welcome messages, naming the skill, and publishing it to the Alexa Skills Store, as demonstrated in the video below. Anyone with an Alexa-enabled device can then have Alexa read your RSS feed to them.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Amazon also introduced a new blueprint for creating flash briefing skills, which include short-form content in the form of an audio feed. This format lends itself well to local weather reports, news and sports updates, and other information that can be quickly communicated via an audio update. This may be another option that WordPress news site owners may want to consider. The <a href=\"https://blueprints.amazon.com/bp/amzn.ask.bp.0758a769-9b10-4089-9679-1791ee6bfa5f\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">flash briefing skills</a> page has instructions for creating one and there is also an unofficial WordPress plugin called <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-alexa-flash-briefing/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WP Alexa Flash Briefing</a> that has its own Alexa skill already set up.</p>\n<p>If you want to go one step further and manage your WordPress blog with Alexa, the unofficial <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/blog-helper-an-alexa-skill-for-managing-a-wordpress-blog-with-your-voice\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Blog Helper skill</a> will enable you to log new drafts and moderate comments.

Over the past 14 years since founding Automattic, he has become an expert and an industry advocate for distributed work, having grown the company to more than 800 employees.

Here&#039;s why a \"distributed\" workforce is better for business — and employees:</p>\n<p>Posted by <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/TEDsTheWayWeWork/\">The Way We Work</a> on Monday, January 14, 2019</p></blockquote>\n</div>\n</div>\n\n<p>When I first started working as a developer from home in 2008, many of my friends and family didn&#8217;t believe I had &#8220;a real job.&#8221; People would often say things like, &#8220;Remind me what it is that you do at home all day&#8230;?&#8221; Sometimes I would even receive honest questions from incredulous friends, asking, &#8220;Why don&#8217;t you go find a real job?&#8221; The culture of remote and distributed work is still not widely understood 11 years later but it is slowly improving.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I think a distributed work force is the most effective way to build a company,&#8221; Mullenweg said. &#8220;The key is that you have to approach it consciously. I believe that talent and intelligence are equally distributed throughout the world but opportunity is not.&#8221; Large tech companies, along with more traditional style companies, still struggle to get on board with this way of working. </p>\n<p>Mullenweg&#8217;s TED talk explains a few advantages of distributed work. He also anticipates responses from managers in traditional work environments, who might say, &#8220;Sure, that may work for all you fancy tech folks but not for us.&#8221; Mullenweg outlines a few tips for getting started, such as documenting everything, increasing communication online, and experimenting with collaboration tools. </p>\n<p>Automattic was the first WordPress company to operate a completely distributed workforce. Many other product companies, hosts, and agencies have followed suit. Remote and distributed teams have now become so common in the WordPress ecosystem that many who have experienced this way of working can never return to their old way of life.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 14 Feb 2019 19:02:35 +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: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:82:\"WPTavern: WPBrigade Patches Critical Vulnerability in Simple Social Buttons Plugin\";s: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=87279\";s: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:93:\"https://wptavern.com/wpbrigade-patches-critical-vulnerability-in-simple-social-buttons-plugin\";s: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:1750:\"<p><a href=\"https://wpbrigade.com\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WPBrigade</a>, the developers behind the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-social-buttons/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Simple Social Buttons</a> plugin, have patched a critical privilege escalation vulnerability. The security issue was discovered by the team at WebARX. Developer and researcher Luka Šikić summarized the vulnerability in a <a href=\"https://www.webarxsecurity.com/wordpress-plugin-simple-social-buttons/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">post</a> published this week:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Improper application design flow, chained with lack of permission check resulted in privilege escalation and unauthorized actions in WordPress installation allowing non-admin users, even subscriber user type to modify WordPress installation options from the wp_options table.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Simple Social Buttons is a plugin that makes it easy for users to add social buttons to posts, pages, archives,  and, popups, fly-ins, and custom post types. More than 40,000 users have the free version of the plugin active on their sites. A commercial version is also available through the developer&#8217;s website.</p>\n<p>The plugin&#8217;s authors released version 2.0.22 the day after WebARX disclosed the vulnerability, but some site owners and agencies may not have heard about the security issue. Not everyone checks for updates automatically or even once per month. WPBrigade has not yet alerted users to the vulnerability on their blog or Twitter account.

Users can also edit the title of the review, author name, review summary, and call-to-action button.</p>\n\n\n\n<img />\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most interesting features of the plugin is that it is schema-enabled, which means that the reviews use a standard <a href=\"https://schema.org/\">schema for structured data</a> that can be easily read by applications like Google, Microsoft, Pinterest, and others. For example, when Google finds a schema-enabled review, it can display it as a rich <a href=\"https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/review-snippet\">review snippet</a> with stars and other summary info. These snippets may appear in search results or in Google Knowledge Cards.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s important to clarify that this block is for the site owner to write their own reviews. It&#8217;s not a block that adds a frontend form for visitors to leave reviews. It&#8217;s more useful for site owners who want a nice way to display their own reviews for books, movies, restaurants, or any other type of information.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>After testing the plugin, I was impressed by how the star rating calculations all work live inside Gutenberg while setting up the block. The back and frontend styles also match fairly well. The Reviews block is generic enough to be used for virtually any type of review a user wants to display. It would even more useful if the author expanded it to support frontend review submissions, which would allow users to create their own community review sites. </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, 13 Feb 2019 20:34:06 +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: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:108:\"WPTavern: Speaker Applications Now Open for 2nd Annual JavaScript for WordPress Conference, July 11-13, 2019\";s: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=87220\";s: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:117:\"https://wptavern.com/speaker-applications-now-open-for-2nd-annual-javascript-for-wordpress-conference-july-11-13-2019\";s: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:2477:\"<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/JS-for-WP-conf-2019.jpg?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>Last year Zac Gordon organized a free virtual <a href=\"https://javascriptforwp.com/conference/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">JavaScript for WordPress conference</a> and the event drew 1,200 live attendees. With attendance numbers higher than most WordPress conferences and hundreds more views on the videos published afterwards, Gordon considered it a success and committed to organize another event this year.</p>\n<p>The next edition is set for July 11-13, 2019, and has been expanded to feature three free days of talks, workshops, and contribution focused on JavaScript and WordPress. The goal for the event&#8217;s contributor day is to improve Gutenberg documentation. Applications for speakers and sponsors are now open and attendees can reserve their seats by signing up on the event&#8217;s <a href=\"https://javascriptforwp.com/conference/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">website</a>.</p>\n<p>&#8220;The conference aims to cover intermediate and advanced topics (not so much beginner),&#8221; Gordon said. &#8220;Most of the talks are about latest trends of how JS and WP can be used together. Accessibility is really important, as is diversity in speakers. I&#8217;d love to have more folks share about cool things they do at work.&#8221; He said topics like headless WP, Gatsby, React, state management, Gutenberg, and blockchain are a few examples that seem to be popular in this space right now. Testing and internationalization are two topics that still need speakers.</p>\n<p>Gordon teaches both beginner and more advanced <a href=\"https://javascriptforwp.com/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">courses</a> on JavaScript and Gutenberg development, giving him a unique window into the landscape of JavaScript education. After Gutenberg made its way into core, Gordon said folks &#8220;finally have a tangible reason to learn JavaScript.&#8221; </p>\n<p>&#8220;Also, I think folks are finding it easier than first thought,&#8221; he said. &#8220;A lot of folks have taken my Gutenberg Development Course with zero React or tooling experience and that served as a good introduction to it all.</p>\n<p>&#8220;At first Matt said, &#8216;Learn JavaScript Deeply.&#8217; But at the last WCUS he said, &#8216;Learn Blocks Deeply.&#8217; Luckily, I think it is becoming easier to learn what we need to know with JS and React and tools to get by.&#8221;</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 13 Feb 2019 03:39:31 +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:41;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:62:\"WPTavern: WordCamp Nordic to Host Workshop for Kids on March 7\";s: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=87229\";s: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/wordcamp-nordic-to-host-workshop-for-kids-on-march-7\";s: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:4786:\"<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/kids-workshop-belgrade.jpg?ssl=1\"><img /></a>photo credit: Ivan Gatić</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://2019.nordic.wordcamp.org/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WordCamp Nordic</a>, a new regional WordCamp taking place in Helsinki, is just 23 days away.

Demand for the kids&#8217; workshops has grown in the past two years and Raykovska started receiving requests from other European WordCamp organizers to lead events at their camps. As a result, she has created an <a href=\"https://paper.dropbox.com/doc/WordPress-Workshop-for-Kids-organiser-kit-kxmOjjycWysa3jFYoaBTv\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">organizer kit</a> for others wanting to host their own WordPress workshops for kids.</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Thank you to all the kids workshop volunteers at <a href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/WCSOF?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WCSOF</a> and to all the kids who created their first <a href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/WordPress?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WordPress</a> sites today.

Facebook (and soon to be Snapchat) is widely regarded as an &#8220;app for old people&#8221; and its <a href=\"https://www.newsweek.com/facebook-officially-old-people-803196\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">users under the age of 24 are rapidly declining</a>. WordPress is in a better position, because an influx of older users doesn&#8217;t affect the overall experience of the app the same way. However, if WordPress usage isn&#8217;t growing among the school age population, it is in danger of suffering the same fate as Facebook &#8211; becoming an application that will live and die with its current generation of users. Onboarding new young WordPressers doesn&#8217;t just help to ensure the software&#8217;s future but it also gives kids a tool that can help them find their place on the open web, a home for their content that will outlast all the ephemeral social networking apps. </p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 12 Feb 2019 23:38:52 +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: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:98:\"WPTavern: Gutenberg Blocks Design Library Offers Pre-Built Page Designs Using Existing Core Blocks\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=87200\";s: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:109:\"https://wptavern.com/gutenberg-blocks-design-library-offers-pre-built-page-designs-using-existing-core-blocks\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2845:\"<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/design/\">Gutenberg Blocks Design Library</a> is a new plugin that provides pre-built page designs, including demo content, using only the default core blocks that come with WordPress. The free version comes with 50 different designs that users can import from the growing Gutenberg Blocks Design Library. These include simple designs for all kinds of page building items, such as text with images, columns with headers, call-to-action sections, team member listings, testimonials, contact page layouts, and more.</p>\n\n\n\n<img />\n\n\n\n<p>The plugin is fully compatible with other Gutenberg themes and plugins, since it simply adds styles to existing core blocks. It can be used in combination with block collections, such as Atomic Blocks, Editor Blocks, CoBlocks, Caxton, Kadence, GhostKit, WooCommerce blocks, and many others.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few major advantages to this approach. Simply adding styles to core blocks means that the plugin doesn&#8217;t introduce a bunch of new blocks for users to scroll through in the block inserter. It also ensures data portability. If a user ends up deactivating and removing the plugin for any reason, the content is still there in the default block design.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Gutenberg Blocks Design Library is compatible with any WordPress theme that works with the new editor, the appearance of the the pre-made designs vary somewhat across themes. I tested various blocks with different themes and found that it seems to adapt to the active theme&#8217;s look and feel. This can be a positive feature or a negative one if the user is hoping for the designs to match the demo exactly.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>After installing the plugin, the design library is available by toggling the carrot icon in the menu at the top of the editor. The user is then prompted to import 50 free designs.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The creators of the Gutenberg Blocks Design Library have also built a commercial subscription service to sell &#8220;<a href=\"https://wpdesignhub.com/pro/\">pro designs</a>.&#8221; Pricing during the beta period starts at $9/year for a single site.  The company aims to have 1,000 commercial designs available to subscribers by November 2019. They plan to release new designs every other week.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Gutenberg Blocks Design Library is helpful for users who don&#8217;t need the more advanced capabilities of a full-featured page builder plugin but still want some simple, pre-built page elements. The placeholder content makes it easy for users to know where to insert their own content. It is much more intuitive than importing an XML file for demo content. This plugin is a great example of the interesting new product opportunities that Gutenberg has introduced by replacing tools that previously might have been built with widgets or cumbersome shortcodes.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Mon, 11 Feb 2019 21:55:08 +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:\"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:43;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:106:\"WPTavern: Open Source Initiative Calls Organizations to Reaffirm Support for Its Definition of Open Source\";s: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=87165\";s: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:117:\"https://wptavern.com/open-source-initiative-calls-organizations-to-reaffirm-support-for-its-definition-of-open-source\";s: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:5611:\"<p>The Open Source Initiative (OSI) took a strong, unequivocal stance on its <a href=\"https://opensource.org/osd-annotated\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">definition of open source</a> this week, encouraging organizations to sign a <a href=\"https://opensource.org/node/966\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">public affirmation</a> of its role in maintaining and stewarding the definition. The organization has been instrumental in combatting issues caused by license proliferation, as many open source licenses cannot be legally combined and this can be detrimental to the open source ecosystem.</p>\n<p>The affirmation published this week explains the need for a standard definition of open source: </p>\n<blockquote><p>Without this single, standard definition of &#8220;open source,&#8221; software development as we know it would not be possible. There is no trust in a world where anyone can invent their own definition for open source, and without trust there is no community, no collaboration, and no innovation.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Recent controversy surrounding Redis Labs licensing some of its modules under the <a href=\"https://redislabs.com/community/commons-clause/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Apache 2.0 modified with a Commons Clause</a> has highlighted the need for an authoritative definition of open source. Salil Deshpande, who helped create the Commons Clause (written by open-source lawyer <a href=\"https://heathermeeker.com/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Heather Meeker</a>), wrote an <a href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2018/11/29/the-crusade-against-open-source-abuse/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">article</a> for TechCrunch two months ago about how he perceives large cloud infrastructure providers, such as AWS in this case, to be a threat to the viability of open source. He explained why he and collaborators commissioned the Commons Clause:</p>\n<blockquote><p>We wished to define a license that prevents cloud infrastructure providers from running certain software as a commercial service, while at the same time making that software effectively open source for everyone else, i.e. everyone not running that software as a commercial service.</p>\n<p>With our first proposal, Commons Clause, we took the most straightforward approach: we constructed one clause, which can be added to any liberal open-source license, preventing the licensee from “Selling” the software  —  where “Selling” includes running it as a commercial service. (Selling other software made with Commons Clause software is allowed, of course.) Applying Commons Clause transitions a project from open source to source-available.</p></blockquote>\n<p>In referencing MongoDB&#8217;s <a href=\"https://www.mongodb.com/licensing/server-side-public-license\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Server Side Public License (SSPL)</a>, Deshpande questioned the authority and relevance of OSI:</p>\n<blockquote><p>OSI, which has somehow anointed itself as the body that will “decide” whether a license is open source, has a habit of myopically debating what’s open source and what’s not. With the submission of SSPL to OSI, MongoDB has put the ball in OSI’s court to either step up and help solve an industry problem, or put their heads back in the sand.</p></blockquote>\n<p>The Commons Clause, which has no chance of being approved by OSI, was a reaction to cloud-based services making a profit from open source software without contributing much back to the software&#8217;s creators. This is a common issue encountered by maintainers of popular open source projects. However, the Commons Clause isn&#8217;t a good solution for this problem, because it effectively neuters open source software, removing the vital freedoms identified in the open source definition, including free distribution and no discrimination against a specific field of endeavor. OSI President Simon Phipps called the Commons Clause an &#8220;abrogation of software freedom&#8221; after Redis changed its license.</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Redis just went proprietary, which sucks.<a href=\"https://t.co/CfIN99Cz5q\">https://t.co/CfIN99Cz5q</a></p>\n<p>No, this is not just \"a limitation concerning fair use\", it is an abrogation of software freedom.</p>\n<p>&mdash; Simon Phipps (@webmink) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/webmink/status/1032016976170967040?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 21, 2018</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<p>In light of these recent conversations, OSI is calling organizations to band together in recognition of its authority to maintain a single, standard definition of open source:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Recently there have been efforts to undermine the integrity of open source by claiming there is no need for a single, authoritative definition. These efforts are motivated by the interests of a few rather than the benefit of all, and are at odds with the principles that have so demonstratively served us  well in the past decades.

I got some really upsetting tweets. After that it started focusing on #yoastcon. It seems like they want to show the hypocrisy in our statements about women. I never spoke at SEO events before, though I have been to SEOktoberfest. It felt totally welcoming back then. That being said, the pictures and movies aren’t something I particularly enjoy watching. I do think they&#8217;re bad, but also a bit out of context. The environment at Yoast is nothing like that. And although my husband likes to party (as do I), I feel he’s always been a strong believer in equal rights and opportunities. I think we all make mistakes and learn from them. At Yoast, we’re really trying to improve inequality with both the diversity fund and my empowerment project.</p></blockquote>\n<p>For those watching the #yoastcon hashtag, the way the situation unfolded it almost seemed like a coordinated personal attack on de Valk, especially given how the SEOktoberfest videos were spliced together with the YoastCon promotional videos. <a href=\"https://twitter.com/explorionary\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">David Cohen</a>, a Philadelphia-based Digital Marketing Director who previously worked at a large SEO agency, started the conversation by publishing de Valk&#8217;s old tweets that he had found years ago when researching Yoast and its founder.</p>\n<p>&#8220;As far as the tweets from Joost are concerned, I&#8217;ve known about them since 2014,&#8221; Cohen said. &#8220;I just never knew what to do with them or how to proceed questioning why that behavior was perfectly acceptable for him.</p>\n<p>&#8220;As far as the harassment and abuse in the SEO industry, particularly at the SEO conferences, I&#8217;ve known about this since 2011 after seeing it firsthand while working at a large SEO agency in Philly, Seer Interactive.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Cohen said that he began publicly criticizing people he calls &#8220;SEO celebs&#8221; in 2014, for &#8220;saying they are against the SEO harassment and abuse, claiming to be &#8216;male feminists,&#8217; yet knowingly covering up the abuse and enabling the abusers who happen to also be their friends, peers, colleagues, etc.&#8221;</p>\n<p>While the discussion on the #yoastcon hashtag seems centered around de Valk&#8217;s admitted indiscretions, Cohen said his objective in publicizing the old tweets goes beyond de Valk. He&#8217;s calling out other leaders in the industry who he alleges have harassed and abused women for years. </p>\n<p>&#8220;This started a solo mission to take action as a messenger of questions for the group of SEOs most prominent figures who hold the power of influence over the industry about the 10+ year ongoing issue of alleged harassment and abuse of women in the SEO world, particularly at SEO conferences between 2009 and 2012 era.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Cohen said the timing with YoastCon was &#8220;a mission looking for direct and public answers on this topic once and for all while they were all gathered together at the event.&#8221; He began tweeting about these issues well before the event and was using the #yoastcon hashtag to call out other SEO industry leaders for the past few months. </p>\n<p>When asked about his motive, Cohen said he simply wants answers from de Valk, Rand Fishkin, his wife Geraldine, John Doherty, Martin MacDonald, Marcus Tandler, and others regarding what he perceives to be hypocrisy in the SEO industry.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Why has it been totally cool for the SEO celebs, rock stars, ninjas, and conference speakers to be misogynists, to objectify and sexualize women, to hire Playmates for their SEO events, and to engage in behavior that would easily be classified as &#8216;toxic masculinity?\'&#8221; Cohen said. He claims that industry leaders have been covering up harassment and abuse that they have known about and have refused to help the women who have been abused. Cohen and several others who have been circulating the tweets claim that victims of this abuse have been contacting them to share their stories but have not yet gone public with them.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I chose to act on this now because I wanted answers to two questions from specific people: 1. Do you know of alleged harassment or abuse because someone went to you directly and told their story? And if so, did you refuse to use your power and influence to help them at the risk of your own professional and personal interests?&#8221; Cohen said.</p>\n<p>&#8220;As for Joost, going with the &#8216;if I offended anyone&#8217; apology approach is empty and lacks personal accountability for behaviors that are completely misaligned with words. He had to respond publicly. But the question remains open &#8211; why?&#8221;</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 08 Feb 2019 04:42:54 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i: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:41:\"Dev Blog: WordPress 5.1 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:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:34:\"https://wordpress.org/news/?p=6577\";s: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/2019/02/wordpress-5-1-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:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3950:\"<p>The first release candidate for WordPress 5.1 is now available!</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an important milestone, as the release date for WordPress 5.1 draws near. &#8220;Release Candidate&#8221; means that the new version is ready for release, but with millions of users and thousands of plugins and themes, it’s possible something was missed. WordPress 5.1 is <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/5-1/\">scheduled to be released</a> on <strong>Thursday, February 21</strong>, but we need <em>your</em> help to get there—if you haven’t tried 5.1 yet, now is the time!</p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two ways to test the WordPress 5.1 release candidate: try the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-beta-tester/\">WordPress Beta Tester</a> plugin (you’ll want to select the “bleeding edge nightlies” option), or you can&nbsp;<a href=\"https://wordpress.org/wordpress-5.1-RC1.zip\">download the release candidate here</a>&nbsp;(zip).</p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What&#8217;s in WordPress 5.1?</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspired by Archie Bell &amp; The Drells, WordPress&#8217;s theme for 2019 is to &#8220;tighten up&#8221;, and WordPress 5.1 focussed on exactly that.</p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n\n</div>\n\n\n\n<p>With security and speed in mind, this release introduces WordPress’s first <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2019/01/14/php-site-health-mechanisms-in-5-1/\">Site Health</a> features. WordPress will start showing notices to administrators of sites that run long-outdated versions of PHP, which is the programming language that powers WordPress.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, when installing new plugins, WordPress&#8217;s Site Health features will check whether a plugin requires a version of PHP incompatible with your site. If so, WordPress will prevent you from installing that plugin.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new block editor has kept improving since its introduction in WordPress 5.0. Most significantly, WordPress 5.1 includes solid performance improvements within the editor. The editor should feel a little quicker to start, and typing should feel smoother. There are more features and performance improvements planned in upcoming WordPress releases, you can check them out in the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/gutenberg\">Gutenberg plugin</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Plugin and Theme Developers</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Please test your plugins and themes against WordPress 5.1 and update the <em>Tested up to</em> version in the readme to 5.1. If you find compatibility problems, please be sure to post to the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/forum/alphabeta/\">support forums</a> so we can figure those out before the final release.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The WordPress 5.1 Field Guide has also been published, which goes into the details of the major changes.</p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\"><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2019/02/08/wordpress-5-1-field-guide/\">WordPress 5.1 Field Guide</a></blockquote>\n</div>\n\n\n\n<h2>How to Help</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you speak a language other than English?&nbsp;<a href=\"https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp/dev\">Help us translate WordPress into more than 100 languages!</a> This release also marks the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/glossary/#hard-freeze\">hard string freeze</a>&nbsp;point of the 5.1 release schedule.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>If you think you’ve found a bug</strong>, you can post to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/forum/alphabeta\">Alpha/Beta area</a>&nbsp;in the support forums.

Riad Benguella, the project&#8217;s technical lead for phase 2, published a demo of the block and its settings. Users can set the number of items displayed and also toggle on/off the author, date, and excerpt.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/rss-block.gif?ssl=1\"><img /></a></p>\n<p>RSS is still relevant today as one of the linchpins of the open web and Gutenberg makes it possible to easily place a feed inside a post or page. (This feature was previously limited to widgetized areas.) The creation of this block is part of a larger effort to <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/12/08/9-priorities-for-2019/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">port all of WordPress&#8217; existing core widgets over to blocks</a>.</p>\n<p>Version 5.0 also introduces a new <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/13510\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon Kindle embed block</a>, providing an <a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=13489836011\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">instant preview</a> from an Amazon Kindle URL. WordPress already has oembed support of Amazon Kindle URLs but it was missing from the Embeds section of the accordion in the block inserter.</p>\n<p>One of the most exciting additions in this release is a new <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/10925\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FocalPointPicker for the Cover block</a>. It allows users to visually select the ideal center point of an image and returns it as a pair of coordinates that are converted into &#8216;background-position&#8217; attributes. The result is that the user has more control over how the image is cropped. This feature solves so many problems users have experienced in cropping and displaying images in their WordPress themes and content.

And here&#8217;s a need in our community to surface those conversations because we are in a position now where we need to start acting, taking on the responsibility of being 34.7% of the web and actually using that responsibility for something other than just saying it as a marketing campaign.</p><cite>Morten Rand-Hendriksen </cite></blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The transcript is in .txt format for maximum compatibility and includes the speaker&#8217;s names. </p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/EPISODE-344-Introduction-to-the-WordPress-Governance-Project.txt\">EPISODE-344-Introduction-to-the-WP-Governance-Project</a><a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/EPISODE-344-Introduction-to-the-WordPress-Governance-Project.txt\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\">Download</a></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, 06 Feb 2019 23:04:40 +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:49;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:34:\"HeroPress: WordPress Saved My Life\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:56:\"https://heropress.com/?post_type=heropress-essays&p=2679\";s: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:120:\"https://heropress.com/essays/wordpress-saved-my-life/#utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=wordpress-saved-my-life\";s: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:11264:\"<img width=\"960\" height=\"480\" src=\"https://s20094.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/020619-1024x512.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"I am thankful for WordPress because without it, I\'m really not sure I would have been able to live a decent life.\" /><p>This probably is the first time I will be telling my story because I have always lived a fairly secret live.</p>\n<p>I am from Nigeria where I was born and still live in. I know we are all stereotyped as scammers and thieves but trust me, a lot of us own and operate legit (online) businesses. Just like in every country, there are good and bad people and we are no exception.</p>\n<p>I had a great childhood. Everything was fine and rosy until I lost my Dad which meant I had to shoulder the responsibility of my family as the first child. I manage to finish secondary school and was awarded the best Math student.</p>\n<h3>Introduction to The Internet / Web</h3>\n<p>Back then in secondary school, I had a rich friend who owned a Nokia phone (that could browse the internet) he brings to class which he uses to play games and do fun stuff online even though we weren’t allowed to bring nor use a phone in the class. (Funny right? :D)</p>\n<p>I have always been a football lover (called soccer in the U.S). I still play very well and support Chelsea FC. So each time I have the opportunity to use his phone, I always visit Goal.com to read football news especially concerning my team Chelsea FC of England.</p>\n<p>Being a very inquisitive person, I wanted to learn how the web works as well as have my own website. I was able to buy a Nokia 3120 classic phone via the menial jobs I did after school.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2681\" src=\"https://s20094.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/img2.jpg\" alt=\"Nokia 3120\" width=\"413\" height=\"500\" /></p>\n<p>I visited Google and search how to create my <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_Application_Protocol\">wapsite</a>. We refer to mobile phones optimized sites as “wapsite”. The result of my search were filled with site builders like xtgem.com and wapzan.com.</p>\n<p>I chose the xtgem.com and discovered I needed an email address to sign up. Didn’t know what that means so I googled it and eventually created a Yahoo email address. Finally registered and built my first website. Sadly, the site is no longer online but I was able to get a screenshot of the site thanks to <a href=\"https://web.archive.org/\">Wayback Machine</a>.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2680\" src=\"https://s20094.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/img1-786x1024.png\" alt=\"WAPsite built by Collins\" width=\"786\" height=\"1024\" /></p>\n<p>I had to learn HTML and CSS from <a href=\"https://www.w3schools.com/\">w3schools</a> to build the site and it came out well didn’t it?</p>\n<p>I later moved on to wapka.mobi site builder which allows you to build dynamic websites such as a social network or forum using its own programming language called “wapka tags”. I was able to build a <a href=\"https://web.archive.org/web/20120915021200/http:/www.wapden.net:80/index.html\">community/forum</a>, <a href=\"https://web.archive.org/web/20121211011719/http:/www.smsbag.tk:80/index.html\">sms collection</a> and a <a href=\"https://web.archive.org/web/20121029021153/http:/www.wapbooks.tk:80/index.html\">file sharing</a> site.</p>\n<p>I later came across <a href=\"http://www.simplemachines.org/\">simple machine forum</a> and <a href=\"https://mybb.com/\">MyBB</a>, I learned them deeply and used them to build forums and community sites for interested people.</p>\n<h3>Meeting WordPress</h3>\n<p>I came across a Facebook group called BloggersLab and discovered I could make money blogging. Two prominent platform at the time to create a blog was Blogger.com and WordPress. I chose WordPress because WordPress blogs were always pretty.</p>\n<p>From my savings, I bought the cheapest hosting plan from a local web hosting here in Nigeria and installed WordPress using Softaculous included in cPanel and started writing wapka.mobi tutorials. See <a href=\"https://w3guy.com/?s=wapka\">https://w3guy.com/?s=wapka</a>.</p>\n<blockquote><p>I did all this with my Nokia phone.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Here’s how I publish a new post: first I write it on a notebook before publishing on my blog. I was also building mobile sites for people for small amount of money.</p>\n<p>I couldn’t go to the university because of my precarious financial situation. I continue to do menial jobs during the day and started learning PHP in the evenings and at night using my mobile phone via w3schools.com. I later was able to get a cheap old IBM Thinkpad laptop which I used in getting eBooks from torrent sites because I couldn’t afford them at the time and also to practice coding. Mind you, I was also blogging about the stuff I was learning on w3guy.com</p>\n<p>I later took up a job teaching children at a school primarily because I got tired of the menial jobs and wanted to earn enough to take care of my internet data plan. After a while, I became fairly proficient in PHP and even took up a job to build a school management system which was really slow and ugly.</p>\n<h3>WordPress Saved My Life</h3>\n<p>I needed to start making money with the PHP, HTML &amp; CSS skill I had because my blog wasn’t making any money via AdSense. I think I got to the $100 payout on my second year of blogging.</p>\n<p>I came across a post on Sitepoint.com that they were looking for writers. I applied and got in. I started writing PHP and WordPress development tutorials and got paid few hundreds of dollars per article. In Nigeria, that’s quite a lot of money. I was able to improve the life and well-being of my family and I. I also wrote for Smashing Magazine, Designmodo, Tuts+ and Hongkiat.</p>\n<p>I later got admission into a polytechnic to study computer science and decided to stop writing and try to make and sell WordPress plugins for a living.</p>\n<p>I discovered my tutorial on <a href=\"https://designmodo.com/wordpress-custom-login/\">building custom login</a> form on Designmodo was popular with lots of comment so I decided to make a plugin out of it. That was how my first premium plugin <a href=\"https://profilepress.net/\">ProfilePress</a> was born. I wanted to sell it on Codecanyon but it was rejected so I decided to sell it myself. It was and still hard doing development and marketing at the same time.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Thankfully, after a year, it started making enough revenue for me to live pretty comfortably here in Nigeria because the cost of living here is little.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Few years later, I came across a payment processing library for PHP called <a href=\"https://github.com/thephpleague/omnipay\">Omnipay</a> which included support for many payment providers like Stripe, PayPal. I use 2Checkout as my payment gateway to sell my plugins via EDD and discovered the driver for 2Checkout in Omnipay was old and unsupported so <a href=\"https://github.com/collizo4sky/omnipay-2checkout\">I built one</a>. I figured I could make money building EDD and WooCommerce payment gateways base on the Omnipay and I did and place them on Codecanyon for sale. They didn’t do well sales wise and I had to stop selling them and moved the 2Checkout gateway for WooCommerce to <a href=\"https://omnipay.io/\">omnipay.io</a>. I have since built an EDD Paddle gateway which I now sell alongside.</p>\n<p>My latest product is <a href=\"https://mailoptin.io/\">MailOptin</a>, a WordPress optin form and automated newsletter plugin. I initially built it for my own need. I figured there might be interest in it so I made a free version and a paid version.</p>\n<p>I currently live on the revenue from my plugins.</p>\n<h3>Wrap Up</h3>\n<p>I am thankful for WordPress because without it, I&#8217;m really not sure I would have been able to live a decent life. Who knows what would have become of me.</p>\n<p>I am also thankful for the community. I have made lots of friends that has been very supportive and helpful in my journey.</p>\n<p>If you live in a third world country like myself and going through hardship, I hope my story will inspire you to be great.</p>\n<blockquote><p>I tell people, life won’t give you what you want. You demand from life what you want. You make these demands by being determined and never giving up on your dreams and aspiration.</p></blockquote>\n<p>If you are poor perhaps because you came from a humble and poor background, it is not your fault. You can’t go back in time to change things. I implore you to be strong, determined and hustle hard.</p>\n<p>I will end with this story.</p>\n<p>Two guys had become shipwrecked and were directionless-ly drifting on the vast ocean, desperately holding onto a wooden plank.</p>\n<p>A big ship comes along. Elated, one of the guys let&#8217;s go of the plank and makes a bold move, using his last strength to reach the ship.</p>\n<p>The other guy holds the plank and tells himself: &#8220;God will save me.&#8221;</p>\n<p>A few days later he died and is sent to heaven.</p>\n<p>In heaven, he angrily asks God: &#8220;Why didn&#8217;t you save me?&#8221;</p>\n<p>&#8220;I sent you a boat you idiot.&#8221;</p>\n<p>No one is coming to save you. You are all alone. It’s up to you to change your fortune.</p>\n<p>Do nothing, be nothing.</p>\n<p>La fin.</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 Saved My Life\" class=\"rtsocial-twitter-button\" href=\"https://twitter.com/share?text=WordPress%20Saved%20My%20Life&via=heropress&url=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fwordpress-saved-my-life%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 Saved My Life\" class=\"rtsocial-fb-button rtsocial-fb-like-light\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fwordpress-saved-my-life%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-saved-my-life%2F&title=WordPress+Saved+My+Life\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share: WordPress Saved My Life\"></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-saved-my-life/&media=https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/020619-150x150.jpg&description=WordPress Saved My Life\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pin: WordPress Saved My Life\"></a></div></div><a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"perma-link\" href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/wordpress-saved-my-life/\" title=\"WordPress Saved My Life\"></a></div><p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/wordpress-saved-my-life/\">WordPress Saved My Life</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, 06 Feb 2019 08:00:33 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:18:\"Collins Agbonghama\";s: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:\"type\";i:128;s:7:\"headers\";O:42:\"Requests_Utility_CaseInsensitiveDictionary\":1:{s:7:\"\0*\0data\";a:8:{s:6:\"server\";s:5:\"nginx\";s:4:\"date\";s:29:\"Wed, 13 Mar 2019 12:14:42 GMT\";s:12:\"content-type\";s:8:\"text/xml\";s:4:\"vary\";s:15:\"Accept-Encoding\";s:13:\"last-modified\";s:29:\"Wed, 13 Mar 2019 12:00:10 GMT\";s:15:\"x-frame-options\";s:10:\"SAMEORIGIN\";s:4:\"x-nc\";s:9:\"HIT ord 1\";s:16:\"content-encoding\";s:2:\"br\";}}s:5:\"build\";s:14:\"20190311113356\";}', 'no');
