<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Beta 2 updates and highlights</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress 7.0 Beta 2 contains more than 70 updates and fixes across the Editor and Core since the Beta 1 release. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Each beta cycle focuses on bug fixes; and more are on the way with your help through testing. You can browse the technical details for all issues addressed since Beta 1 using these links:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/commits/wp/7.0?since=2026-02-20&until=2026-02-26">GitHub commits for 7.0</a> since February 20, 2026</li>

</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Beta 2 also contains a new feature</strong>!</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI provider management is more intuitive in 7.0 Beta 2 with a new Connectors UI dashboard page. WordPress users can now manage external AI connections in a central place in wp-admin, under Settings > Connectors. The new UI enables users to add, delete, and update external connections. It is powered by an extensible, route-based architecture that allows plugins and themes to hook into the page and expand its functionality. The new Connectors page builds on PHP-based script and menu infrastructure, and adds route components powered by <code>@wordpress/components</code> and <code>@wordpress/admin-ui</code>. A new <code>connections-wp-admin-init</code> hook and registration APIs allow plugins to integrate cleanly. This makes managing external connections easier while giving developers a clearer path to extend the experience.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What’s new in WordPress 7.0?</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress 7.0 boasts numerous upgrades in the editing and admin experience, delivering enhanced real time collaboration, refined customizability, new dashboard styles, and an expanded developer toolbox for people who create, design, and build with WordPress every day.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Working as a team just got easier with the ability for multiple users to edit together in real time, while visual revisions allow a visual comparison between page versions, adding agility to the creation and review process. Working with patterns has been simplified, making layout updates and content changes more intuitive, while view transitions smoothly move you from screen to screen as you click.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">New and improved blocks and design features in 7.0 make sites more customizable, with video embed backgrounds in the Cover block, a responsive-enabled Grid block, and new Icons, Breadcrumbs and Heading blocks. An updated Navigation block makes menu changes easier and more reliable in fewer steps. Responsive, mobile-friendly controls in 7.0 allow you to hide or reveal blocks based on screen size, while client-side media handling speeds up media processing. The Font Library screen for managing installed fonts is now enabled for all themes, so site editors are always able to browse, install, and organize fonts. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For developers, it’s now easier to build modern experiences while staying aligned with Core principles. The new WP AI Client in WordPress 7.0 brings a layer into Core that allows leveraging of AI models from any provider within the WordPress framework. This means plugins and themes can tap into any AI model to expound on its endless options. 7.0 offers even more versatility with the Client Side Abilities API that introduces a standardized way to register and run “abilities” in the browser, supporting richer, more consistent workflows. Additionally, 7.0 introduces PHP-only block registration with auto-generated inspector controls, adding a new dimension to block creation, while Block Bindings updates for pattern overrides expands support to custom dynamic blocks, giving block creators more options.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Needless to say, this release offers a wide range of flexibility to creators, teams and developers, while bringing a visual refresh to the admin experience you know and love with a fresh default style.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Work together in real time</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Building on the momentum started in WordPress 6.9, the ability for teams to create and edit together is more refined and robust in 7.0. With this version of WordPress multiple users can edit and collaborate on the same post or page in real time, with data syncing and stabilized notes for smoother teamwork and a more streamlined editing and review process.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Real Time Collaboration: Teams can now edit posts and pages together live from multiple locations, with offline editing and data syncing enabled, and a new default HTTP polling sync provider with options for plugins or hosts to include websocket support. With this collaborative content creation workflow, teams can brainstorm more effectively and boost productivity. For the beta period, real-time collaboration is opt-in in order to get broader feedback and testing.</li>
<li>Notes: 7.0 introduces real time syncing of notes that helps facilitate collaboration, a keyboard shortcut for new notes, and a series of quality-focused fixes that bring more stability to the Notes feature.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Refined Admin Experience</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress 7.0 gives the wp-admin experience a boost with a fresh default color scheme, and a cleaner, more modern looking dashboard, while keeping the interface familiar. The upgraded dashboard enhances the editing experience with new visual revision comparisons, and smooth transitioning between screens.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Visual Revisions: Working with revisions is even better in 7.0 with the added ability to make visual comparisons to revision versions within the editor.</li>
<li>View transitions: Cross-document view transitions in the dashboard offer visual continuity with seamless movement from screen to screen.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Customizing content with ease</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Creators have more flexibility in 7.0 with new tools for content and design, enhanced editing controls, and attention to mobile friendliness. </p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Responsive Editing Mode: Block visibility is now more responsive and mobile-friendly, with the ability for blocks to be displayed or hidden based on screen size. </li>
<li>Pattern Editing and contentOnly interactivity: WordPress 7.0 introduces pattern-level editing modes, a tree view for buttons and list blocks, and the ability to opt out of the default content only mode. The new Spotlight mode helps you isolate content in patterns and notes, while the Isolated Editor mode can be used for editing symbols and reusable pieces like synced patterns, template parts, or navigation. </li>
<li>Block supports and design tools: 7.0 includes text line indent support, text column support, aspect ratios for wide and full images, dimension width and height support, and dimension presets, tools and controls.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New blocks and design options at your fingertips</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">7.0 delivers a series of new and improved blocks and block features, a streamlined navigation workflow, and more versatile design options like video embeds as section backgrounds.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Navigation Block: Navigation workflow is now more intuitive and clear, with improved editing and presentation. 7.0 introduces customizable navigation overlays as template parts, including mobile version overlays that can be hidden or revealed based on custom breakpoint settings. </li>
<li>Heading Block: Heading levels are now available as block variations, giving more control over page hierarchy and design.</li>
<li>New blocks: 7.0 makes building pages more diverse with new Breadcrumbs and Icons blocks.</li>
<li>Cover block embedded videos: Video embeds can now be used as a background in the cover block, opening up opportunities for sleeker and more creative designs.</li>
<li>The Grid block is now responsive-enabled allowing grid-based layouts to adapt more smoothly across screen sizes.</li>
<li>The Gallery block now has lightbox support that lets the user click through and view each gallery image.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Developer’s toolbox</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Working with WordPress on the backend is now more robust for developers, with new and enhanced API features that support flexibility and lay a foundation for future advancements. The Client Side Abilities API provides a client-side registry for WordPress capabilities that allows you to tap into new and innovative website options. WordPress 7.0 offers even more by introducing the Web Client AI API to Core, enabling access to generative AI models in one central interface.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Web Client AI API: The new AI client and API acts as a command center for accessing and communicating with generative AI models, with providers remaining external to WordPress Core, and Abilities API integration.</li>
<li>Abilities and Workflows API: With the new client side abilities package users have access to new and hybrid abilities, filter and search functionality for abilities, and an improved command palette and UI.</li>
<li>Blocks and patterns created on the server: WordPress 7.0 boasts the ability for PHP-only blocks and patterns to be generated server-side and auto-registered with the Block API.</li>
<li>DataForm: Introducing a new details layout, new controls (combobox, adaptiveSelect), and updated trigger for panel layout (dedicated edit button). Additionally, the initial iteration for validation is complete: all controls have support, and all layouts display error messages.</li>
<li>DataViews: DataViews has a new activity layout, and a foundation has been laid to be able to register 3rd party types in future releases.</li>
<li>CodeMirror update: CodeMirror has been updated to version 5.65.40, aiding more flexible extensibility and library options.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Media processing in the browser</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress 7.0 introduces Client-side media processing, leveraging the browser’s capabilities to handle tasks, like image resizing and compression, for smoother image processing. This enables the use of more advanced image formats and compression techniques, and reduces demand on the web server; providing a more efficient media handling process for both new and existing content, and supporting smoother media workflows.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With so many options and enhancements in WordPress 7.0 Beta 1, this is still only the beginning. You can expect future releases to be even better.</p>

7F�=Nq�u�� =N�
� ?� Press-focused micro-credential, designed to help students build practical AI skills, earn a recognized credential, and connect more directly to job opportunities.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The program, <a href="https://ai-leaders.org/">AI Leaders</a>, is a workforce-oriented credential rooted in WordPress and open source contributions. Students are paid for their time, work on real WordPress projects, and gain hands-on experience applying AI in ways that are directly relevant to the WordPress ecosystem. This pilot represents a meaningful step forward in how the project supports learning, contribution, and career pathways.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Beginning in March 2026, AI Leaders launches its first cohort of 80 students from Illinois and Louisiana, with <a href="https://today.uic.edu/uic-and-wordpress-foundation-launch-workforce-focused-ai-literacy-course/">University of Illinois Chicago</a> (UIC) students given priority to apply before enrollment expands to the public. Enrollees begin with an orientation covering generative AI tools and AI literacy. From there, 40 participants are selected for the full course experience. Ultimately, the program leads to the AI Leader WordPress Micro-Credential and an opportunity to pursue living-wage job pathways. Learners who complete the course also earn $1,000 (USD).</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This pilot is the result of collaboration across several organizations, each playing a distinct role. The program is funded through the UIC Tech Solutions Open Source Fund, with support from the University of Illinois Chicago and <a href="https://automattic.com/2026/02/03/uic-tech-solutions-open-source-fund/">Automattic</a>. That funding supports program delivery, participant compensation, and the institutional infrastructure needed to run the pilot. Alongside that funding, the WordPress project and the WordPress Foundation will contribute to the development of the credential itself. This includes shaping the curriculum, grounding the work in real WordPress AI use cases, and ensuring alignment with open source values and public benefit.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is the first WordPress Foundation-backed micro-credential, and it is intentionally being run as a pilot. We are exploring how the Foundation could support additional credentials over time, across different skill areas and partners, while maintaining clear governance, openness, and alignment with the WordPress project. It represents a step toward a future where WordPress contributors can more easily translate their skills into credentials, careers, and long-term opportunities.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Faster Way For AI Agents To Test</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI code agents are getting better at writing WordPress plugins and themes, but testing can still be the slow part. WordPress contributor <a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/bpayton/">Brandon Payton</a> has published <mark style="background-color:#eff2ff" class="has-inline-color has-dark-strokes-grey-color">wp-playground</mark>, a new AI agent skill designed to run WordPress via the Playground CLI<strong>, </strong>giving agents a fast, repeatable way to run WordPress and verify their work as they iterate.<br></p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“AI agents work better when they have a clear feedback loop. That’s why I made the wp-playground skill. It gives agents an easy way to test WordPress code and makes building and experimenting with WordPress a lot more accessible.”</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">— Brandon Payton, WordPress Contributor</p>
</blockquote>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What the Playground skill does</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When launched, the skill starts WordPress and detects where the current code should live inside a WordPress install. For example, it can mount a plugin into <mark style="background-color:#eff2ff" class="has-inline-color has-dark-strokes-grey-color">wp-content/plugins</mark> or a theme into <mark style="background-color:#eff2ff" class="has-inline-color has-dark-strokes-grey-color">wp-content/themes</mark> by recognizing common file signatures (such as plugin headers or a theme’s <mark style="background-color:#eff2ff" class="has-inline-color has-dark-strokes-grey-color">style.css</mark>). This helps agents move from “generated code” to “running site” with fewer manual steps.<br></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Early results and testing workflow</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In testing, agents were able to start WordPress, build playful plugins, and validate behavior in a tight feedback loop. Once Playground was running, the agent alternated between tools such as <mark style="background-color:#eff2ff" class="has-inline-color has-dark-strokes-grey-color">curl</mark> and Playwright to interact with WordPress, verify results, apply fixes when needed, and then re-verify with Playground.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Faster startup and smoother iteration</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Helper scripts handle startup and shutdown, so an agent doesn’t waste time guessing when WordPress is ready. Using helper scripts reduced the “ready to test” moment from roughly a minute to a few seconds on the author’s machine. The Playground CLI can also log in automatically for easier <mark style="background-color:#eff2ff" class="has-inline-color has-dark-strokes-grey-color">WP-Admin</mark> access during testing.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Install and try it now</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For those who want to try it in Claude Code, Codex, or another AI agent, installation requires <a href="https://nodejs.org/">Node.js</a> and npm and looks like this:</p>
<p class="has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-dark-strokes-grey-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-2a77bf7f3e8595318d429b5c7a3f6dd5 wp-block-paragraph" style="padding-top:10px;padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:10px;padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)"># Run this in a project directory to install the skills for that project <br>npx openskills install WordPress/agent-skills<br><br># Make skills available to non-Claude agents<br>npx openskills sync</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A new repo for WordPress agent skills</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This release also comes with a new home for this kind of work: <br><a href="https://github.com/WordPress/agent-skills">https://github.com/WordPress/agent-skills</a>. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s an early step in exploring how AI agents can collaborate with WordPress tooling, and contributions from the community are welcome. Future additions being explored include persistent Playground sites based on the current directory, running commands against an existing Playground instance (including <mark style="background-color:#eff2ff" class="has-inline-color has-dark-strokes-grey-color">wp-cli</mark>), and Blueprint generation.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordCamp isn’t just about sessions and schedules. It’s about connection. It’s about learning directly from people who are building, scaling, and sustaining WordPress in the real world. It’s about sharing ideas, debating the future of the open web, and leaving with renewed energy for the work ahead. And in 2026, that spirit returns stronger than ever.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A clearer path into the WordPress ecosystem</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress Education is designed to help students turn knowledge into practice, discover their strengths, and understand how their contributions can make a real impact through three core programs: WordPress Campus Connect, WordPress Credits, and WordPress Student Clubs.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through hands-on campus events, such as WordPress Campus Connect, on-campus groups like WordPress Student Clubs, and a practice-based program called WordPress Credits, participants can gain practical experience, publish real-world projects, and build confidence as contributors to a global culture of open-source creation.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At its heart, these WordPress education programs are about three simple ideas:</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Learn. Build. Connect.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This update brings WordPress education programs together in one place, with an easy way to explore initiatives, understand how they work, and take the next step.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You will find:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>A home for WordPress Education programs and updates</li>
<li>Clear “how to get involved” paths for students, educators, mentors, organizers, and sponsors</li>
<li>Stories, highlights, and examples of real projects created through the programs</li>
<li>Links to the Education Handbook for program guidelines and resources</li>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress Playground had a busy year in 2025, with updates that make it more capable for day-to-day development, plugin previews, and learning environments. The project’s latest year-in-review highlights progress across performance, compatibility, database support, and tooling, expanding what can be done in a WordPress environment that runs in the browser and through the command line.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From faster load times to broader plugin support, the throughline is clear: Playground is moving beyond quick demos and into workflows that help developers and educators test, iterate, and share WordPress experiences more easily.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p>
<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Plugin previews are more reliable: </strong>99% of the top 1,000 plugins can be installed and activated successfully, making demos and evaluations more trustworthy.</li>
<li><strong>Everything is faster:</strong> A performance upgrade reduced average response time by 42%, and further optimizations improved overall “time to first useful click.”</li>
<li><strong>Database tools work in browser:</strong> Improved database compatibility enabled tools like phpMyAdmin to be used directly on <a href="https://playground.wordpress.net">playground.wordpress.net</a>.<br><strong>More practical tooling for real work:</strong> Testing configurations and previewing changes can happen in one place, without a complete local environment first.</li>
<li><strong>New visual gallery of blueprints:</strong> A new <a href="https://wordpress.github.io/blueprints/">visual gallery of blueprints</a> provides excellent starting points for various types of sites.</li>
<li><strong>Global adoption:</strong> Playground was used 1.4 million times globally, with growing documentation translations and community contributions.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reliable Plugin Previews and Experimentation</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A headline update from 2025 is the focus on compatibility. In testing with the top 1,000 plugins from the WordPress plugin directory, 99% installed and activated successfully. That matters because it raises confidence in what Playground is best known for: letting people try things quickly, without a complex setup, and with fewer surprises.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This highlighted that Playground is increasingly useful as a general-purpose PHP sandbox. Alongside WordPress, it can support standard PHP tools and projects, which makes it easier to explore how WordPress fits into broader development workflows and to share reproducible environments with others.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you try something new and unexpected in Playground, the update encourages you to share what you learn in the <a href="https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/playground">#playground</a> Slack channel, so the community can build a clearer picture of what works well today and what is improving next.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Faster Load Times</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Speed was a central theme in 2025. A recent <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/playground/2025/12/03/wordpress-playground-2025-year-in-review/">year-in-review report</a> revealed a 42% reduction in average response time, and this is not just a single change. A series of improvements make Playground feel quicker in the moments people notice most, such as loading WordPress, opening wp-admin, and switching between tasks.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Several behind-the-scenes updates were described in plain terms as “less waiting”: checks happen earlier, parts of the experience load in a smarter order, and more content is reused from cache, so repeat actions are snappier.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For people using Playground to review a plugin, validate a bug fix, or teach a class, these improvements mean the same thing: faster feedback loops, with fewer pauses that break concentration.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Better Tooling and Compatibility</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In 2025, Playground also became more “toolbox-like” in the browser. The update highlighted features that reduce context switching, such as editing files on the page, building and testing starter configurations (Blueprints) in a dedicated editor, and launching database tools such as phpMyAdmin and Adminer with a single click.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the database side, a significant compatibility upgrade was introduced to improve support for more complex database behavior. The practical outcome is that more WordPress sites and plugins behave as expected in Playground, and more developer tools can run inside the environment.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Blueprints also advanced in ways that benefit both builders and sharers. The updates focus on making starter setups easier to create, browse, and reuse, especially when a demo requires content, media, or a specific configuration that should launch consistently.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the clearest ways to see that progress is the <a href="https://wordpress.github.io/blueprints/"><strong>WordPress Blueprints Gallery</strong></a>, a community library of ready-to-launch WordPress environments. From practical “building block” examples (such as starting with a specific login role) to demos that automatically install themes and plugins, to richer setups that generate posts and featured images via WP-CLI, the gallery demonstrates how quickly an idea can become a fully functional site that you can browse and share.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>For anyone who wants to experience the power of WordPress without the setup, the gallery serves as a strong reminder of what Playground makes possible: shareable, repeatable site experiences that work the same way every time — ideal for demos, workshops, testing, and “try it now” links. </em></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Clear adoption signals back all of this. The review reports 1.4 million uses globally, documentation translations in multiple languages, and growing integration across the plugin directory through Playground-powered previews. It also points to a steady increase in community contribution, from documentation and support to talks and real-world workflows built on top of Playground.<br><br>A huge thank you to everyone who tried Playground over the past year, whether you launched a quick demo, tested a change, taught a workshop, or helped make the documentation more accessible in your language. And if there’s anything that would make Playground even more helpful for your day-to-day work, the project actively welcomes ideas and feature requests via the WordPress Playground GitHub issues tracker.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Looking Ahead</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As we closed out 2025 and now look forward to 2026, we can see several forward-looking initiatD�,=O��� =O�
� ?� ives, including work on MySQL binary protocol support (to enhance broader compatibility with MySQL tools) and continued exploration of debugging enhancements, such as expanded XDebug access.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For anyone who last tried Playground as a quick demo environment, 2025’s updates suggested a shift in direction: Playground is increasingly positioned as a practical layer for testing, teaching, previewing, and reviewing WordPress, both in the browser and in local workflows.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">State of the Word 2025 brought the WordPress community together for an afternoon that felt both reflective and forward-moving, blending stories of global growth with technical milestones and glimpses of the future. This year also marked the twentieth State of the Word since the first address in 2006, a milestone noted in the WordPress history book <a href="https://wordpress.org/book/2015/11/wordcamp-2006/"><em>Milestones: The Story of WordPress</em></a> as the beginning of a tradition that has helped the project tell its own story.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From the outset, the keynote carried a sense of momentum shaped by thousands of contributors, educators, students, and creators whose steady participation continues to define the open web. It was a reminder that WordPress is more than software. It is a community writing its future together.</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What we have is more than code. It’s momentum, it’s culture, and it’s a system that lets people learn by doing and lead by showing up. — <a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/4thhubbard/">Mary Hubbard</a>, WordPress Executive Director</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mary opened the evening by reflecting on her first full year as Executive Director, a year spent listening deeply and seeing firsthand how people across regions learn, contribute, and lead. Her remarks grounded the keynote in the lived reality of a community that grows because people invest in one another, teach openly, and build trust through contribution.</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ve met people using WordPress to unlock new careers. I’ve met contributors who started a single translation or forum post and are now leading major pieces of the project. In LatAm, Europe, and the States, I’ve seen students get access to WordPress tools and start building faster than we could have ever imagined. I’ve watched communities build in public, resolve disagreements in the open, and collaborate across languages and time zones.</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That reflection offered a clear reminder of what makes WordPress resilient through change: a culture of showing up, learning by doing, and supporting others along the way. The project moves forward because people choose to participate in ways both large and small, strengthening the foundation that has carried WordPress for more than two decades.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With that foundation in place, the keynote moved through a series of stories and demonstrations that highlighted where WordPress stands today and where it is headed next — from a historic live release of WordPress 6.9 to expanding global education pathways, emerging AI capabilities, and deeper collaboration across the entire ecosystem.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">WordPress by the Numbers</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Project Cofounder <a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/matt/">Matt Mullenweg</a> began with a wide-angle view of the project’s growth. WordPress powers over 43% of the web, with 60.5% of the CMS market. Shopify, its nearest competitor, holds 6.8%. Among the top 1,000 websites, WordPress’s share climbed to 49.4%, up 2.3% from the previous year.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-43.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1" alt="Globe graphic noting 43% of websites and 60.5% CMS market share" class="wp-image-19500" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-43-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-43-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C169&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-43-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C432&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-43-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-43-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&ssl=1 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Multilingual usage continued its strong rise. Over 56% of WordPress sites now run in languages other than English. Japan stood out, with WordPress powering 58.5% of all Japanese websites and 83% of the CMS market. Japanese became the second most-used language on WordPress at 5.82%. Spanish followed, then German, French, and Brazilian Portuguese.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The plugin ecosystem saw explosive growth. The directory surpassed 60,000 plugins, and plugin downloads were on pace to reach 2.1 billion by year-end. Over 1,500 themes have been released this year as well.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Contributors also hit new highs. The 6.8 release included 921 contributors, the largest group yet. WordPress 6.8 saw 79.5 million downloads, up 13%, and WordPress 6.9 included contributions from 230 first-time contributors and more than 340 enhancements and fixes.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Release Moment to Remember</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This year’s keynote delivered something WordPress had never attempted before: a live on-stage release of <a href="https://wordpress.org/download/releases/6-9/">WordPress 6.9</a>.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-gene.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1" alt="WordPress 6.9 Gene album cover art" class="wp-image-19511" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-gene-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-gene-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C169&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-gene-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C432&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-gene-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-gene-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&ssl=1 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mary set the moment up earlier in the program, calling WordPress 6.9 “fast, polished, and built for collaboration.” She explained that it reflected a year of intentional iteration, improved workflows, and deeper cross-team participation. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Matt took the stage with some of the release leads, the release button in hand. The room counted down, and then WordPress 6.9 shipped live, instantly updating millions of sites around the world. It was both a celebration and a testament to the reliability and trust the WordPress community has built into its release processes. Shipping a major version of WordPress in real time, on stage, without drama, is something the early contributors could hardly have imagined.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/release-leads.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1" alt="Photo of WordPress release leads pressing the button to release 6.9" class="wp-image-19457" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/release-leads-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/release-leads-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C169&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/release-leads-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C432&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/release-leads-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/release-leads-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&ssl=1 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That reflection connected back to WordPress’s origin story. Matt talked about discovering the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WordPress#History">B2</a> forums, asking questions, and eventually reaching the point where he could answer someone else’s. That transition from learner to contributor remains at the heart of the project today. Two decades later, WordPress has grown from those early interactions into a platform that can ship a major release in front of the world, powered by thousands of contributors building together.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">WordPress and the Future of AI</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As the keynote shifted toward the future, Matt acknowledged what has become an essential truth of the moment: it would be impossible to talk about the next chapter of WordPress without talking about AI. He reminded the audience that in 2022, long before ChatGPT entered global conversation, he encouraged the community to “learn AI deeply.” The speed of change since then, he said, has exceeded every expectation, and WordPress has been preparing for it in ways both visible and behind the scenes.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-AI.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1" alt="Timeline of AI: 2022 ChatGPT launches, 2023 GPT-4 and Claude launches, 2024 Multimodel and video generation, 2025 AI everywhere" class="wp-image-19510" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-AI-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-AI-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C169&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-AI-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C432&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-AI-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-AI-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&ssl=1 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Matt introduced one of the most important architectural developments of the year: the Abilities API and the MCP adapter. The Abilities API defines what WordPress can do in a structured way that AI systems can interpret, while the MCP adapter exposes those abilities through a shared protocol. This means AI agents — whether built by individuals, companies, or larger platforms — can understand and interact with WordPress safely and predictably. Instead of relying on one-off integrations or brittle interfaces, WordPress now participates in a broader ecosystem of tools that can query its capabilities and perform tasks using a standard, governed approach.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Matt then highlighted how developers are already using AI in their everyday work through tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and next-generation CLIs. These tools can explore entire codebases, generate documentation, produce tests, refactor large components, and even coordinate sequences of WP-CLI commands. For many developers, they expand what a single person can accomplish in an afternoon. They don’t eliminate the need for human judgment — they amplify it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With that foundation laid, Matt turned the audience’s attention to <a href="https://telex.automattic.ai/">Telex</a>, the experimental environment designed to turn natural-language prompts into Gutenberg Blocks. Telex has already moved beyond experimentation and into real use. Matt showed examples from community creator Nick Hamze, who uses Telex to power micro-business tools that represent practical, revenue-generating workflows that previously required custom engineering.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-video"><video height="2160" style="aspect-ratio: 3840 / 2160;" width="3840" controls src="https://wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/Telex-demo-776.mp4"></video></figure>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Matt then widened the lens to show what companies across the ecosystem are building with AI. Hostinger’s Kodee can generate a complete WordPress site from a single description. Elementor AI demonstrated similarly rapid creation inside its own editor, producing full sections and layouts in seconds. WordPress.com showcased how its AI tools help users draft, rewrite, and refine content while keeping language aligned with the site’s voice. Yoast demonstrated how AI can support SEO workflows by generating structured suggestions and improving readability. Together, these examples illustrated that AI is not arriving in one place — it is arriving everywhere.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Experimental browsers can navigate WP Admin autonomously, performing tasks such as clicking buttons, opening menus, changing settings, and performing multi-step tasks without requiring any custom plugins or APIs. This raised a key question that Matt encouraged the community to consider: Which AI capabilities should live inside WordPress itself, and which should remain external, operating through the browser or operating system?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Matt closed the section by discussing WordPress-specific AI benchmarks and evaluation suites. These shared tests will measure how well AI systems understand and execute WordPress tasks, from enabling plugins to navigating WP Admin to modifying content and settings. The goal is to create a foundation where future AI tools behave predictably and responsibly across the entire ecosystem, giving creators confidence that intelligent tools understand the platform deeply.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mary then returned to the stage to celebrate the ecosystem that supports WordPress’s growth. Across continents, diverse groups of people have hosted WordPress events, training new contributors and welcoming newcomers into the project. WordCamp growth in 2025 reflected that: more than 81 WordCamps across 39 countries, powered by over 5,000 volunteers and attended by nearly 100,000 people, with sixteen more events still underway.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-wordcamps.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-19503" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-wordcamps-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-wordcamps-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C169&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-wordcamps-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C432&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-wordcamps-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-wordcamps-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&ssl=1 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Education played a major role in this community expansion. Learn.WordPress.org served over 1.5 million learners this year, with clearer pathways into more structured programs like <a href="https://wordpress.org/education/campus-connect/">Campus Connect</a> and <a href="https://wordpress.org/education/credits/">WordPress Credits</a>. This bridging was deliberate. Many learners arrive through tutorials or workshops but need clearer guidance on how to deepen their skills. By reshaping navigation and improving wayfinding across WordPress.org, the project began closing that gap.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">She spotlighted <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/community/2025/09/29/wordpress-and-higher-education-an-alliance-that-transforms/">Costa Rica’s Universidad Fidélitas</a>, where WordPress moved beyond extracurricular interest into formal academic integration. Long before signing an agreement with the WordPress Foundation, their students were hosting WordCamp San José, forming student clubs, and treating WordPress as a crucial part of digital literacy and professional development.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-photo.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-19505" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-photo-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-photo-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C169&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-photo-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C432&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-photo-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-photo-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&ssl=1 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Students of the WordPress Fidélitas Club</figcaption></figure>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wapuu appeared across events as a familiar companion and a cultural thread running through contributor tools and community projects. Its presence was a reminder that creativity and playfulness are as essential to open source as documentation or code.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-wapuu.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1" alt="Various Wapuu artwork examples" class="wp-image-19506" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-wapuu-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-wapuu-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C169&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-wapuu-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C432&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-wapuu-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-wapuu-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&ssl=1 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Matt highlighted the story of <a href="https://events.wordpress.org/managua/2025/wordpress-youth-day/">Youth Day in Managua, Nicaragua</a>. Seventy-five young people spent a full day building their first WordPress sites. Sessions were taught by teenagers, for teenagers. They learned to pick themes, customize layouts, create contact forms, and publish content. Contribution often starts with a simple moment of confidence, and those early sparks can shape entire careers.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-video"><video height="2160" style="aspect-ratio: 3840 / 2160;" width="3840" controls src="https://wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/wapu-513.mp4"></video></figure>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Together, these moments illustrated a project expanding not just in numbers, but in depth, diversity, and global reach. WordPress is growing because communities are finding their own ways to embrace it.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What’s New in WordPress 6.9</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Joining virtually, WordPress Lead Architect, <a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/matveb/">Matías Ventura</a>, shifted the keynote from vision to practice. Matías offered a detailed walkthrough of what makes WordPress 6.9 one of the most refined, collaborative, and forward-looking releases the project has shipped in years. He returned to the four familiar lenses of creation — writing, designing, building, and developing — and showed how each evolved in this release cycle.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He began with notes in the Block Editor, one of the most anticipated features. Notes allow collaborators to comment directly on individual blocks in a post or page. When a note is selected, the surrounding content subtly fades, helping contributors stay focused on context. Because notes are built on WordPress’s native comment system, they integrate seamlessly with existing communication workflows, including email notifications. Matías highlighted that notes development exemplified collaboration at its best, with contributors from various companies working together to bring the feature to life.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="600" height="338" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vkYulcN0lbc?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe>
</div></figure>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From there, he turned to refinements across the writing and design experience. Editor interactions feel smoother and more consistent. Patterns behave more predictably. Spacing and typography controls are clearer, more organized, and more intuitive. Together these capabilioties make the experience of writing and designing inside WordPress calmer, more reliable, and more empowering.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Block bindings now provide a more intuitive, visual way to connect blocks to dynamic data sources. Users can switch or remove bindings with a single click, and developers can register additional sources to support custom workflows. This work lays the foundation for a future where dynamic data flows more naturally through blocks, enabling site creators to build richer interfaces without writing code.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the developer front, Matías focused on three foundational upgrades that represent major steps forward in how WordPress will evolve over the coming years.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The first was the <strong>Abilities API</strong>, a unified registry that describes what WordPress can do — across PHP, REST endpoints, the command palette, and future AI-driven interactions.</li>
<li>The <strong>HTML API</strong> introduces new ways of working with and modifying HTML server-side. The API ensures safer, more reliable handling, lowering the barrier for theme and block developers who work with dynamic or structured markup.</li>
<li>The <strong>Interactivity API</strong> delivers smoother, faster interactions without requiring heavy JavaScript frameworks. Improved routing, better state management, and clearer conventions help developers create rich, modern interfaces without leaving the WordPress philosophy of simplicity and flexibility.</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After Matías wrapped his presentation, Matt stepped back in to highlight several developments that build on the foundations of 6.9 and strengthen the overall WordPress ecosystem. He pointed first to the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-check/">Plugin Check Plugin</a>, a tool designed to help developers align with current WordPress standards and catch common issues early, making plugins more reliable for users and easier to maintain over time. Matt then spoke about ongoing progress in <a href="https://wordpress.org/data-liberation/">Data Liberation</a>, noting improvements to the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-importer/">WordPress importer</a> that make it easier for people to bring their content into WordPress without disruption or loss, an important step toward ensuring the open web remains portable and resilient. He also highlighted advances across the <a href="https://playground.wordpress.net/">Playground</a> ecosystem, including <a href="https://developer.wordpress.com/studio/">WordPress Studio</a>, the Playground CLI, and an expanding set of Blueprints. These allow developers and learners to spin up complete WordPress environments in seconds, test ideas, and experiment without servers or configuration. Matt closed this portion by emphasizing work on safer updates, which help WordPress avoid partial installs and ensure that updates complete smoothly even in less predictable hosting conditions, reinforcing WordPress’s commitment to stability as the platform continues to grow.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Matt emphasized that WordPress 6.9 is not defined by any single headline feature, but by a broad spectrum of refinements across the entire experience. It is a release that deepens reliability, expands capability, and sets the stage for future innovation.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Insights from the AI Panel</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The keynote transitioned into a live AI panel moderated by Mary Hubbard. The panel brought together four perspectives from across the ecosystem: <a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/isotropic/">James LePage</a> (Automattic), <a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/flixos90/">Felix Arntz</a> (Google), and <a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/jeffpaul/">Jeff Paul</a> (Fueled, FKA 10up), and Matt Mullenweg. Their conversation touched on the philosophy, practice, and future of AI inside WordPress — not as a distant trend, but as an active part of the project’s evolution.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A central theme was AI’s ability to amplify human creativity. James LePage put it plainly:</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s not that we’re going to just add sparkle buttons everywhere. We’re going to do some crazy stuff here — things we’re going to build into the way you interact with creating content, with expressing yourself digitally. We want to give you more power, more control, and make you more effective at creating.</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jeff Paul echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that AI should make developers more productive by handling repetitive work and freeing them to focus on higher-level decisions. Felix Arntz expanded the idea further, describing how Google sees AI as a way to make the web more accessible and intuitive, especially for new creators who may not have formal technical training.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="572" src="https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/panel.jpg?resize=1024%2C572&ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-19462" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/panel-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C572&ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/panel-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C168&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/panel-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C429&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/panel-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C858&ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/panel-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1144&ssl=1 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">From left to right: Mary Hubbard, Matt Mullenweg, Jeff Paul, Felix Arntz, James LePage</figcaption></figure>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Looking ahead, the panelists predicted deeper contextual integrations, AI-assisted debugging and scaffolding for developers, and workflows where agents can take on sequences of tasks while remaining directed by human decisions. They also highlighted the importance of standards, shared protocols, and privacy-focused design as essential components of WordPress’s long-term approach.</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The next 20 years looks like WordPress remaining what it is today, which is the center of the open web.</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The panel closed on a forward-looking but steady note. AI is accelerating, but WordPress is designing its foundations with flexibility and values that endure. The tools may change, but the commitment to openness, agency, and creative freedom remains the compass.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Questions That Push Us Forward</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Matt introduced the Q&A as one of his favorite parts of State of the Word because it reveals what people are imagining, struggling with, or eager to build.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-QandA.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1" alt="Q&A" class="wp-image-19512" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-QandA-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-QandA-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C169&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-QandA-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C432&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-QandA-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/12/State-of-the-Word-2025-QandA-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&ssl=1 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" />��C�=P:��hb =Po
� !�����</figure>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first question addressed the growing interconnectedness of today’s web. What happens, a participant asked, when a major provider like Cloudflare goes down? As tools and agents rely more heavily on external services, failures can cascade. Matt acknowledged that outages are increasingly visible, but also argued that each one strengthens the system.</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Every failure, every edge case, everything that you never imagined is just another opportunity to find that new edge case,” he said. Resilience is not avoidance of failure, but the ability to grow stronger after it.</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another question focused on the longevity of web content. With platforms shutting down or links breaking over time, how can creators ensure their work endures? Matt pointed to the Internet Archive as one of the great stabilizers of the open web. He highlighted a <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/internet-archive-wayback-machine-link-fixer/">new plugin</a> that automatically scans posts and replaces dead links with archived versions, helping preserve the historical fabric of the web even as individual services come and go.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The next question turned to real-time collaboration inside WordPress. A participant asked how co-editing fits into the future of WordPress and how these tools might help creators work more confidently. Matt talked about how collaboration tools can support people who are just starting their creative journeys — whether they are entrepreneurs, students, or first-time site builders. He described real-time editing as part of a broader vision of WordPress “just doing the work for you” in high-pressure or early-stage creative moments.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The final question considered long-term decision-making. Matt noted that predicting what will change is difficult, but identifying what will remain the same is much easier. For WordPress, he said, the invariant is clear: people will always want agency, openness, and the ability to publish on their own terms. These values guide decisions not only in the present, but across decades of future evolution.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After the Q&A, the keynote shifted gears with a live crossover segment featuring TBPN (the Technology Business Programming Network), a tech-focused podcast. The segment introduced a lively, unscripted energy into the room.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The hosts kicked things off by asking Matt what the “word of the year” should be. He chose “freedom”, connecting it directly to the core philosophy of open source. He described open source licenses as a kind of “bill of rights for software,” giving users inalienable rights that no company can revoke. In a world increasingly shaped by software platforms and digital ecosystems, these freedoms form the heart of what keeps the web open and accessible.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Conversation then moved to <a href="https://www.beeper.com/">Beeper</a>, the multi-network messaging client. Asked whether Beeper aims to “tear down walled gardens,” Matt rejected that framing. Instead, he offered a more collaborative metaphor: bringing gardens together. Most people have friends and colleagues scattered across WhatsApp, Instagram, LinkedIn, Messenger, and SMS. Beeper doesn’t replace those apps — it brings messages together into a unified interface..</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The conversation eventually returned to publishing. Matt referenced the same principle he noted earlier: the importance of identifying what won’t change. For WordPress, he said, that means doubling down on freedom, agency, and the ability to publish without gatekeepers. Even as AI evolves, even as platforms shift, even as new tools emerge, these are the values that will guide the project forward.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Building the Web We Believe In</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As the keynote drew to a close, Matt returned to a message that had threaded through every section of the evening. The future of WordPress is not arriving from outside forces — it is being crafted, questioned, tested, and expanded by the people who show up. Contributors, students, educators, community organizers, designers, developers, business owners, and first-time site builders all play a role in shaping the platform.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He spoke about the opportunities ahead: new tools that expand what creators can build, collaborative features that make teamwork feel natural, and AI systems that enhance creativity rather than diminish it. Across continents, generations, and skill levels, people are discovering WordPress as a path to learning, empowerment, and expression.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The values that brought the project this far remain the ones that will carry it forward: freedom, participation, learning, and community. These aren’t abstract principles. They are lived every day in the decisions contributors make, the ideas they pursue, and the care they bring to the work.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Future Events</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re feeling inspired to revisit past moments from the project’s annual address, the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1pJFUVKQ7ES1piZxljCvMTJCYpVBnwYU">State of the Word YouTube playlist</a> offers a look back at years of community milestones and product progress. The excitement continues into 2026, with major WordPress events already on the horizon: <a href="https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/">WordCamp Asia</a> in Mumbai, India,<a href="https://europe.wordcamp.org/2026/">WordCamp Europe</a> in Kraków, Poland, and <a href="https://us.wordcamp.org/2026/">WordCamp US</a> in Phoenix.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="the-specificity-cascade">The specificity cascade</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Before diving in, it helps to understand WordPress’s style hierarchy for block themes. Styles resolve in this order, with later layers overriding earlier ones on four levels.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Default </strong>mostly the styling and layouts of WordPress Core.</li>
<li><strong>Block-level</strong> styling can be altered with plugins and overwrites the Default styling.</li>
<li><strong>Theme-level </strong>styling is the whole suite of design tools controlled by the active Theme. It overwrites Default and block-level styles and layouts for instance (e.g. template and template parts).</li>
<li><strong>User-level</strong> styling uses the Design tools within the Site Editor to modify styles and layouts. These changes are stored in the database and overwrite the theme-level styling.</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Within each layer, more specific targets (per block, per element) override more general ones. This cascade is central to how all the methods below interact.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="1-theme-json-structured-style-properties">1. theme.json — structured style properties</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Who:</strong> Theme developers, child theme authors<br /><strong>Where:</strong> <code>theme.json</code> (root of your theme) → <code>styles</code> section</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is the <strong>recommended first choice</strong> for styling in block themes. Rather than writing raw CSS, you define styles as structured JSON properties — colors, typography, spacing, borders, shadows, and more — at the global, element, or per-block level.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can use hardcoded values directly in <code>styles</code>, and they work just fine:</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As your theme grows, hardcoded values become harder to manage. If you decide to change your primary color, you’d need to find and update every instance of <code>#0073aa</code> across styles. A more maintainable approach is to define your values as presets in the <code>settings</code> part of theme.json and then reference them in <code>styles</code> using the <code>var:preset||</code> syntax. WordPress converts these presets into CSS custom properties (e.g., <code>--wp--preset--color--primary</code>), keeping everything connected:</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This token-based approach pays off in a few ways. When a user changes “Primary” in the Global Styles UI, every element referencing that token updates automatically. It keeps your theme internally consistent — no risk of one button being <code>#0073aa</code> while another drifted to <code>#0074ab</code>. And it makes global style variations far simpler to create: a dark mode variation only needs to redefine the palette, not hunt down every color reference in styles. Either approach is valid, but tokens tend to save time as a theme matures.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Advantages:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Automatic integration with the Global Styles UI:</strong> Users can view and override your styles in the Site Editor without writing CSS.</li>
<li><strong>WordPress manages specificity for you:</strong> the “base → theme → user” cascade works correctly.</li>
<li><strong>Generates CSS custom properties automatically</strong> (e.g. <code>--wp--preset--color--primary</code>).</li>
<li><strong>Visual parity</strong> between editor and front end.</li>
<li><strong>Machine-readable: </strong>other tools and plugins can consume and extend these styles.</li>
<li><strong>Reduces the amount of CSS</strong> enqueued overall.</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Limitations:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Can only express what <a href="https://schemas.wp.org/trunk/theme.json.">theme.json’s schema</a> supports (growing with each release, but not yet comprehensive).</li>
<li>Pseudo-classes like <code>:hover</code>, <code>:focus</code>, <code>:active</code>, and <code>:visited</code> are supported for elements such as links and buttons (e.g., <code>"elements": { "link": { ":hover": { "color": { "text": "var:preset|color|contrast" } } } }</code>), but pseudo-elements like <code>::before</code> and <code>::after</code>, media queries, and more complex selectors are not available in the structured properties — use the <code>css</code> property (#2) or block stylesheets (#3) for those.</li>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress auto-generates the selector for per-block CSS—you don’t need to know the block’s class name. The <code>&</code> selector is supported for targeting nested elements and pseudo-selectors (<code>:before</code>, <code>:after</code>, <code>:hover</code>, <code>:not()</code>, etc.).</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Advantages:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Integrates with the Styles interface in the Site Editor — users can see and modify your per-block CSS under Styles → Blocks → [Block] → Advanced → Additional CSS.</li>
<li>WordPress handles the selector, so you avoid specificity conflicts.</li>
<li>CSS from elements and variations is also supported (from WordPress 6.6).</li>
<li>Provides a bridge between structured theme.json properties and full CSS freedom.</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Limitations:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>JSON doesn’t support line breaks, so everything must be on one line — cumbersome for large blocks of CSS.</li>
<li>No syntax highlighting in JSON files.</li>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Who:</strong> Site owners with CSS knowledge<br /><strong>Where:</strong> Appearance → Editor → Styles → three-dot menu (⋮) → Additional CSS</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is the block theme replacement for the classic Customizer’s Additional CSS panel. A free-form CSS editor for site-wide custom styles.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Advantages:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Free-form CSS handles any valid CSS.</li>
<li>Stored in the database as part of Global Styles (not in theme files), so it’s theme-specific but survives code deployments.</li>
<li>Preview changes before saving.</li>
<li>Revision history (last 25 versions).</li>
<li>Higher specificity than theme styles.</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Limitations:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Not scoped to blocks — loads globally.</li>
<li>No syntax highlighting or code formatting.</li>
<li>Intended as a last resort for styles that can’t be achieved through theme.json or the visual Styles interface.</li>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Add custom class names to a specific block instance. The CSS itself must be defined elsewhere (style.css, block stylesheets, Additional CSS, etc.). As a user the global Additional CSS is probably the most practical place. </p>

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Precision targeting of individual block instances rather than all blocks of a type.</li>

<li>Multiple classes can be added, separated by spaces.</li>
<li>Works with any CSS source — just define the class styles somewhere.</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Limitations:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Only adds class names — you still need to write the CSS elsewhere.</li>
<li>Per-instance, which means it doesn’t scale well for repeated patterns (use block style variations for those).</li>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Provide entire alternative site-wide style schemes. Each variation is a JSON partial that can override settings and styles from the main theme.json. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since WordPress 6.6, style variations are further classified into three subtypes based on their content. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A variation file that defines only <code>settings.color</code> or <code>styles.color</code> is automatically recognized as a <strong>color variation</strong>, appearing under <strong>Styles → Colors → Palette. </strong></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One that defines only <code>settings.typography</code> or <code>styles.typography</code> becomes a <strong>typography variation</strong>, appearing under <strong>Styles → Typography → Presets. </strong></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Files that touch other properties remain full <strong>theme style variations</strong>. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Color and typography variations can be mixed and matched with each other and with theme variations. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To keep the <code>/styles</code> folder organized, it’s recommended to use subfolders (e.g., <code>/styles/color</code>, <code>/styles/typography</code>, <code>/styles/global</code>). </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="10-block-style-variations-json-php-and-javascript">10. Block Style Variations (JSON, PHP, and JavaScript)</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Who:</strong> Theme developers, plugin developers<br /><strong>Where:</strong> JSON files in <code>/styles</code>, PHP via <code>register_block_style()</code>, or JavaScript via <code>wp.blocks.registerBlockStyle()</code></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Block style variations give content creators pre-made styling options in the Styles panel — like “Rounded” or “Outline” on core blocks. You can register them via JSON files in <code>/styles</code> (WordPress 6.6+, no PHP needed), PHP with <code>register_block_style()</code>, or JavaScript. The JSON-based methods integrate with Global Styles so users can customize them in the Site Editor; <code>inline_style</code>, <code>style_handle</code>, and JavaScript methods do not.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For a thorough walkthrough of all six registration methods — with code examples, a companion theme and plugin on GitHub, and a comparison table showing which methods support Global Styles — see the comprehensive guide <strong><a href="https://wordpress.com/blog/2025/05/07/custom-block-styles/">Mastering Custom Block Styles in WordPress: 6 Methods for Theme and Plugin Developers</a>.</strong></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="11-section-styles">11. Section Styles </h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Who:</strong> Theme developers<br /><strong>Where:</strong> JSON files in <code>/styles</code> directory, targeting mostly group or column blocks. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Section styles are more of a convention than a separate feature. They are essentially Block Style Variations. The difference is naming the variation slug: <code>style-1</code>, <code>style-2</code>, etc. so that they can be reused across themes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since WordPress 6.6, block style variations can style nested inner blocks and elements, enabling “section styling” — where a Group block’s style variation changes the appearance of all blocks within it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Twenty Twenty Five theme showcases this convention quite nicely. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Limitations:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="what-s-the-difference-between-wp-enqueue-style-and-add-editor-style">What’s the difference between wp_enqueue_style and add_editor_style?</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>wp_enqueue_style()</code> is the general-purpose function for loading stylesheets — you choose where it loads by picking your hook (<code>wp_enqueue_scripts</code> for the frontend, <code>enqueue_block_editor_assets</code> for the editor). When you use it on the editor hook, the stylesheet loads into the entire editor page, including the UI chrome (sidebar, toolbar, etc.).</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>add_editor_style()</code> is specifically designed for visual parity between the editor and the frontend. WordPress takes the stylesheet you pass it and automatically scopes every selector to <code>.editor-styles-wrapper</code>, so your styles only affect the content canvas and don’t bleed into the editor UI. In block themes it’s typically called from an <code>after_setup_theme</code> hook — this is how themes get their <code>style.css</code> to apply inside the editor.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The practical upshot: if you want your theme’s frontend styles to look the same in the editor, use <code>add_editor_style()</code>. If you need to style the editor UI itself (like a custom sidebar panel) or need fine-grained control over loading conditions, dependencies, and versioning, use <code>wp_enqueue_style()</code> on the appropriate hook.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The traditional main stylesheet still works in block themes, but its role has changed significantly. It now primarily holds theme metadata (name, version, description) and is loaded globally. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Start here:</strong> Use <strong>theme.json structured properties</strong> (#1) for everything they support. This gives you the best integration with the Global Styles system and lets users customize your styles.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Need CSS that theme.json properties can’t express?</strong> Use the <strong>theme.json <code>css</code> property</strong> (#2) for small additions or <strong>block stylesheets</strong> (#12) for anything substantial.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Want to offer style choices to content editors?</strong> Create <strong>block style variations</strong> (#10) so they appear in the Styles panel.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Site owner making tweaks?</strong> Use the <strong>Global Styles UI</strong> (#5) first, then fall back to <strong>Additional CSS</strong> (#7 or #7) for anything the visual interface can’t handle.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Need to target one specific block instance?</strong> Use <strong>Additional CSS Class(es)</strong> (#8) and define the class in your preferred CSS source.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Building a child theme?</strong> Override the parent via <strong>child theme.json</strong> (#4) and add block stylesheets as needed.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Beta 2 updates and highlights</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress 7.0 Beta 2 contains more than 70 updates and fixes across the Editor and Core since the Beta 1 release. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Each beta cycle focuses on bug fixes; and more are on the way with your help through testing. You can browse the technical details for all issues addressed since Beta 1 using these links:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/commits/wp/7.0?since=2026-02-20&until=2026-02-26">GitHub commits for 7.0</a> since February 20, 2026</li>

</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Beta 2 also contains a new feature</strong>!</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI provider management is more intuitive in 7.0 Beta 2 with a new Connectors UI dashboard page. WordPress users can now manage external AI connections in a central place in wp-admin, under Settings > Connectors. The new UI enables users to add, delete, and update external connections. It is powered by an extensible, route-based architecture that allows plugins and themes to hook into the page and expand its functionality. The new Connectors page builds on PHP-based script and menu infrastructure, and adds route components powered by <code>@wordpress/components</code> and <code>@wordpress/admin-ui</code>. A new <code>connections-wp-admin-init</code> hook and registration APIs allow plugins to integrate cleanly. This makes managing external connections easier while giving developers a clearer path to extend the experience.</p>

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Flogging luxury goods is one of the few fields of business in which Europe excels (if one excludes the crafting of regulation). In an ironic twist, an egalitarian continent with an ever-declining share of global GDP hosts an industry that thrives on inequality and bombastic money-making.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I mean, gosh, look at every word there. How they flow. The density of concepts and metaphors. Here’s another delicious excerpt.</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Luxury houses sell the idea of scarcity, with hordes of publicists explaining that the years-long wait for a Birkin handbag is due to the lack of sufficient artisans to craft these pinnacles of refinement. This is a fairy tale stitched in fine silk. The luxury-goods industry has roughly tripled in size since 2000; its €358bn in annual sales—half a Walmart or Amazon, give or take—betrays how thoroughly mainstream supposed exclusivity has become. Fifty years ago, Louis Vuitton had but two outlets, both in France. These days it has two stores in Ningbo, China’s 34th-biggest city. Exclusive, <em>moi</em>?</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:00:19] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Welcome to the Jukebox Podcast from WP Tavern. My name is Nathan Wrigley.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jukebox is a podcast which is dedicated to all things WordPress. The people, the events, the plugins, the blocks, the themes, and in this case WordPress sustainability, community engagement and release strategies.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’d like to subscribe to the podcast, you can do that by searching for WP Tavern in your podcast player of choice. Or by going to wptavern.com/feed/podcast, and you can copy that URL into most podcast players.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you have a topic that you’d like us to feature on the podcast, I’m keen to hear from you and hopefully get you, or your idea, featured on the show. Head to wptavern.com/contact/jukebox, and use the form there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So on the podcast today, we have Jonathan Desrosiers. Jonathan has been involved with WordPress for almost two decades, both as a user and a contributor. He’s a principal software engineer at Bluehost, where his role sees him sponsored to work on WordPress through the Five for the Future program. Over the years, he’s become a Core committer, and has spent many hours thinking about how to enhance the contributor experience, and make it easier for people to get involved in the project.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this episode we discuss how WordPress releases might become more impactful by synchronizing them with flagship community events like WordCamps and State of the Word. A recent experiment of combining a major release with a live event spark some excitement, and Jonathan shares insights on the logistics behind such synchronized moments, the challenges posed by international holidays, and regional scheduling, and the broader vision for connecting releases with community gatherings.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We also get into the challenging landscape of the WordPress community, how it’s recovering from the effects of COVID, the struggle to rebuild local Meetups, and efforts like mentorship and educational initiatives to bring in new contributors, particularly from younger generations.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jonathan reflects on the importance of making release moments engaging and fun, akin to the anticipation of a new TV series or software launch, and the role of AI and open source in empowering a new wave of builders.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re interested in how release cycles, community events, and contributor onboarding are involved in WordPress, or what the future might hold for the platform and its community, this episode is for you.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re interested in finding out more, you can find all of the links in the show notes by heading to wptavern.com/podcast, where you’ll find all the other episodes as well.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so without further delay, I bring you Jonathan Desrosiers.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I am joined on the podcast by Jonathan Desrosiers. Hello.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:06] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> Hi, how are you?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:07] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, good. Jonathan’s joining me again. Most recently, I think we were at WordCamp somewhere. I can’t exactly remember where, but I was chatting with him and Joe Dolson if memory serves. And a very different conversation to be had today because Jonathan has been mulling over how we can make releases impactful, and also how we can bind those to community events, particularly flagship WordPress events like WordCamps, things like that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Before we begin that conversation, Jonathan, I wonder, it’s a bit of a banal question, but people like to have the context of who you are. So would you mind just, very quick potted bio. Just tell us who you are and what you do in the WordPress space.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:44] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> Sure. So my name is Jonathan Desrosiers. I am a principal software engineer at Bluehost and I am sponsored there, the majority of my time is sponsored to contribute back to the WordPress project through the Five for the Future program. And so I’ve been there, probably since 2018, I think. And I’ve been a Core committer for almost eight years now.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ve been involved as an accredited contributor for 13 years now. And so I’ve been involved with WordPress for over a decade in many ways, contributing, but also as a user for almost, geez, almost two decades now I think. And so, I just had that realisation, it’s been a really long time. It’s been almost 20 years that I’ve been at least using WordPress in some way.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But week to week I do a lot of thinking about contributor experience, how we can automate things, or how we can make our processes more clear so that more people can participate. And just generally making sure that everybody has what they need to be successful. And whether that’s mentorship, or they have blockers they need, certain people to come together and discuss, and get a consensus or understanding, you know, how the sausage is made in some way.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:04:56] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I think it’s fair to say that you are very much connected to the WordPress project. I think it’s the fulcrum of your working life, and you are working at a very high level as well. So Core committer, things like that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, in the recent past, it was probably, I want to say December in the year 2025, we had a kind of strange event happened. Not strange in the sense of weird, but strange in the sense of different, unusual. A release of WordPress came out and it coincided with an actual event. Now, in this case, it was State of the Word. So there was a bunch of people, and I believe they were gathered in New York. I could be wrong about that, but I think it was in.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:05:33] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> It was in San Francisco.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:05:35] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> San Francisco. Okay, there we go. Thank you for the correction. It was in San Francisco and the idea was that the release of WordPress would go out and it would be bound to this event. And there was this almost, how can we describe it? It was almost like television, basically. It was being filmed and streamed live all over the place. And there was this feeling of a big red button. There was a lot of people gathered around and they all sort of leaned in and pushed a big red button, and the release of WordPress came out.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, I don’t know if the button actually did anything or if it was really sort of smoke and mirrors. I like the idea that the button actually did signal the release, but I don’t know if that’s the case. But the point was, there was a little bit of theater put into it. There was this idea that, okay, we’ve got this live event which lots of people will be watching. We’ve got a release which we need to do, which lots of people will be looking forward to. Why don’t we sort of combine the two things?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so it was a bit of PR really. And it also felt a bit like sort of marketing, and I’m going to use gimmick in the real sense of the word. So not like gimmick as in something pointless, but gimmick as in something different, unique. Something to draw your attention and grab you in. And I think the idea has been proposed that in the year 2026, the flagship events, the flagship WordCamps, so I’ll list them in order in which they’re happening.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So we’ve got WordCamp Asia, and then we’ve WordCamp Europe, and then we’ve got WordCamp US. The three releases of WordPress during 2026 will happen in tandem with those events. Now, why? Why would we want to do this?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:07:12] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> Yeah, so I don’t think it was intentional, but the schedule just happened to coincide. You know, we were working on 6.9 and we realised, oh, the release date is the same as State of the Word. And so, I can’t remember who originally had the idea, but it was mentioned that it would be really neat to just be able to publish it live at the event and celebrate that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I guess the main reason behind it is just that, the more I’m involved in open source, the more I realise that the code and the license and all those things are important, but the most important thing underneath any open source project is the community that’s involved with it. And what better way to celebrate our achievements and our accomplishments when we get together in different ways.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so, typically that’s in Slack or social media, right? We celebrate a release and we share the posts and say what we’re excited about. But we also get together at different events and we do the same thing, right? We talk about what we’re excited about, what we’re working on, what’s coming, or what we think should change in certain ways. Why not just do that at the same time and create even a more ultimate celebration, right? Another community moment where people have another opportunity to feel involved in something greater than them.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:08:25] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Do you have any notion that this is going to be carried forward? I mean, I know that there was obviously a bit of serendipity in how it happened. The coincidence of timing and things like that. But do you have every confidence that this will happen, that Asia will get a release, Europe will get a release, and the US will get a release. In the year 2026, do you think that’s going to actually occur?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:08:46] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> We will see. So as the proposed schedule is for this calendar year, right? There’s three releases. Unfortunately, it’s tough because the people planning WordCamps don’t plan around our software’s release cadence, right? They plan around budget, regional holidays, travel factors, weather, cost of venues and availability.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so, you know, it’s not reasonable for the Core team and the people working on releases to say you have to have an event in a certain month, right? And so this year, some people may not have noticed, but WordCamp Asia is in April this year, which it’s been in February so far in the previous editions. And WordCamp Europe is in June, which it’s traditionally usually in.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so that’s not a big enough gap to have another major release. And so the proposed schedule is saying, let’s release during WordCamp Asia, let’s release during WordCamp US, and then we’ll release again at the end of the year around State of the Word. We don’t have a date for State of the Word yet, but it’s around where we think it might be.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And likewise, creating a schedule for relea;+<=Rte�� $ =R�
� ?� %ses is incredibly hard because if we don’t release in the first week of April, for example, then I believe the whole month of April has major religious holidays scattered throughout it in different areas of the world. And if we released in March, that was way too soon because we started the alpha phase of 7.0, that starts when the previous release is branched, like it’s separated from the primary branch in the code base, and that happened in like November.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But there’s US Thanksgiving, there’s Hanukkah, there’s Christmas, there’s New Year’s, right? A lot of people in the community take the majority of December off, and so that’s like a washed month, right? And so we would’ve had essentially four weeks until the feature complete point of the release. So that was too soon. And so it’s just as hard to plan the release schedule in a way that doesn’t negatively impact everybody as best as possible as it is to plan these major events.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so I can’t say that it will be a guarantee going forward. We’re trying it out this year to see how it goes and what we can learn from it. We felt that the State of the Word was successful and it was exciting. It was unique in its own ways. And so we want to try, continue trying this this year and see how it goes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:11:06] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Gosh, the piece that you just said there about the religious holidays and what have you, that really opens up a really interesting discussion. Because it is quite likely, I imagine, that the listenership to this podcast probably never gave that any thought, that this kind of international calendar, be it a religious calendar or maybe just a vacation calendar in certain parts of the globe would really impact when the release can happen.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because there are people who are committing to the project, and they tend to be in certain jurisdictions. And so if there are people who are on, I don’t know, a week long holiday, nationally, in a specific jurisdiction, and they typically are a large part of the team that are committing in various different respects, that’s important, but probably something that many people would not have thought about.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, in terms of these releases then, is the idea, well, I’ll backpedal a little bit. It occurred to me that quite a lot of the people who may be involved in releases are the very kind of people who would find themselves also at some of these flagship events. Now, obviously it’s not going to be 100%, maybe it’s 25% of the people who are release leads and part of the teams that are committing here, there, and everywhere.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I was worried that there’d be people on airplanes, people trying to land and orientate themselves in the country that they’ve landed in in the same period of time when they would’ve been heads down, in their office, in their study, figuring out the bits that might be broken with the upcoming release. Is that a thing? Is that part of the jigsaw puzzle of this?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:12:32] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> It definitely is, yeah. With any release, there’s no time of the day where everyone on the planet is available to work on something, right? And so another part of this is that, in a way it forces us to have a major release in different geographic areas so that everywhere on the globe there’s a WordPress release that they may be able to participate in, right?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so, likewise with travel, right? So when we assemble a release squad, we have to think, okay, it’s based in, for example, this one was planned to be released at WordCamp Asia in India. So we want to make sure we have a mix of people that are in different areas of the world. And not just so that there’s always people around to respond to things throughout the entire cycle, but we also want to have people that are present and not present at the event that are participating. And maybe the wifi is completely unusable or maybe something happens, right? So it’s good to have people that are there and not.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And that was part of the announcement too, is that we tried to underscore the point that it would be great if everybody could go to WordCamp Asia, but traveling is not a requirement to participate in the release at all. And that’s a good thing, because it’s good to have people in multiple areas, multiple time zones.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With WordCamp Asia, once contributor day ends, it’s the beginning of the US daytime, right? And so those contributors can sign off and there’s people around to help carry that torch and continue on if there’s any follow-up issues or anything that needs to be investigated.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so, yeah, that’s also a consideration is how, I guess we can call it global coverage, right? Like, how can we ensure we have global coverage so that there are people with the right skill sets, and right availability, and right knowledge, to be able to take on certain tasks or responsibilities or perform investigations, whatever may need to be done as part of that release process.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:14:26] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I, like you, am really in the weeds of the WordPress project. I obsess about it in a way that’s probably not all that healthy. I’m very well aware of when the next release is coming up. I’m usually fairly aware of what is going to be in that release. But I imagine most people using WordPress, it’s probably a bit of a surprise. You know, they open up WordPress one day and either it has updated. If it’s a point release, probably it’s a more manual thing, if it’s a major release, I should say, but if it’s a more minor release, maybe things have updated in the background during the course of the night and what have you.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I’m thinking of TV series now. So when a successful TV series has a new season, there’s all this fanfare and buildup and you know it’s coming. You see the commercials, you see the adverts. And the moment that TV series comes around, you are excited, you’re ready to go. And I remember back in the day, this is going back a long time, when Firefox would make a release, they sort of did this thing like, I don’t know, every 18 months or something like that. Not like now where it’s every couple of hours it seems, that browsers update themselves.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But when it went to, I don’t know, 3.6 or something like that, there was this big fanfare, this big moment. Everybody took stock and what have you. And are you trying to encourage a bit of that? Are you trying to create a bit of razzmatazz and drama and intrigue and awareness and all of that around the release, and make it feel like an important thing, which with the best will in the world, it kind of has not been more recently? Most people, it just updates. There’s no fanfare whatsoever. But we can leverage it to make it important, significant, fun, interesting.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:16:04] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> Yes and no, right? Like, we want to celebrate the community and the work we’re doing now. I actually would love it if we could get to a point where we’re releasing every, I don’t know, every week or every month even, right? Not have to wait every three or four months. There’s some value in having that penultimate moment, right? Of, we’ve worked for three months on this. But there’s also aspects of the world where we expect things faster and more instant and waiting for the patch that you submit in January to be released in April is not really, like maybe you lose interest in contributing in that time, right? So there’s many different things like that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some things that you mentioned really resonated with me as far as awareness of what’s coming or like what’s been done. In a way, the fact that users are not so aware of what’s being added or what their site has updated to, it’s a sign of the success of auto updates and how seamless those are.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because for a little while I’ve been considering, when you update WordPress manually, you’re redirected into the about page in the dashboard, right? And every release, there’s a new about page that’s designed, it works hand in hand with, we call them the micro sites, which is like a wordpress.org’s landing page that showcases the release. And it just explains all the features that have been added.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But you only see that if you either go to the about page manually or you manually click update when you’re in the dashboard. And a site might have many administrators that only the person that actually updates will see it. And so I’ve been thinking about ways that we can make users more aware that their site is updated. Or maybe that’s not the important part, but maybe it’s just the important part to make them aware of the new features that are available to them, right?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Maybe we put some type of a widget on the dashboard where we link off to a Learn WordPress page that teaches you about how to use the Notes feature that got added. The other thing too is you mentioned about the TV shows advertise when they’re coming up, right? Maybe we need to do a better job of advertising what’s coming up and encouraging people to opt in early and test.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And in a way a more rapid release cycle leads to that because many of the browsers have different feature flags and they build features out in different branches, and you can actually opt into testing a specific feature and that would get turned on, but maybe not all the other things that they’re working on until it’s ready.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so maybe we need different ways for people to get involved testing, or trying things out earlier to understand what’s coming, but also to give us valuable feedback, how it works on their site, what breaks, what it doesn’t interact with. All of that is very valuable feedback, and we should always be striving to get more testers and more awareness around what’s coming because it creates new feedback loops that are valuable for different reasons.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:18:58] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, it’s kind of interesting, and what I’m about to say, I am sure that a significant proportion of the listeners to this podcast will say, no, Nathan, we don’t want this. But here’s a proposal then. Here’s an idea. And again, I’m going to hark back to the TV series.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The TV series, typically when they’ve started advertising between other television programs, that TV series has been made, the footage has been shot, the graphics have been done. It’s basically ready to roll. And then they parcel all that up and then they release little snippets of what’s coming so that you can prepare yourself and get excited.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I kind of wondered if something like that in the dashboard, akin to the about us page, but in the run up to the release. So all the graphics have been made. We know basically what’s going to drop in this release. Now it may get tweaked here and there at the edges, but we know what’s coming. I’ve always thought that would be a really nice idea.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I would love to see that. And I realise a proportion of people would think, no, we really don’t want that. But I think that’s a perfect opportunity to get people drawn into, oh, this is coming. Collaborative editing, that’s about to happen is it? Gosh, that’s really interesting.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then this call to action could be dropped in, but we need some testing around the edges of it. We’ve got the bare bones of it, but we need some more eyeballs on it and what have you. So that proactive demonstration of what’s going to happen rather than the reactive, your site has been updated, here’s what there is, which is already there. This is more of a here’s what’s coming, get excited, get involved, yada yada.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:20:29] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> In some ways the feature branch model that I described lends to that, right? Because then it’s not, here comes this feature and then, oh, actually we left it out of this release, right? It’s its own thing that’s being worked on. And then when it’s released, it’s released, and it’s here. But it doesn’t make it any less, any worse off than other things that are shipping in the release, right? Because it’s its own thing, and it’s its own, it has its own criteria to be ready, in a state that we’re comfortable with shipping it and supporting it forever because of backwards compatibility.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so yeah, I think that what you’re describing is essentially what I was describing, a little bit more detail. And there’s of course a lot of nuance there around how often do we do that? We have a lot of parts of the release process that need to be automated before we can even consider that. The different parts of the block editor are, many of it is managed as packages, NPM packages. And so a lot of those are so interconnected, it’s a little difficult to release just one feature because they’re all being updated at the same time.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so like there’s some architectural things to think about around that. Like, how do we compartmentalize things better to be able to do that? Make sure we don’t accidentally include something that’s not ready but when we intended to include a certain feature. There’s a lot to unpack there and I don’t know that we’ll ever get there just because of the sheer size of the project and how, backwards compatibility, how long we’ve been around.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I think that training users that auto updates are important to have enabled that are quality, you know, not shipping things that break people’s sites as much as possible, even though it’s unavoidable because of how flexible WordPress is.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After 6.9 came out, I was looking into some of the data because I had this gut feeling that 6.9 was being updated to, slower than other releases. And so for a little while I was looking at that. And after about a month, I was like, okay, this is just a hunch. Let me go and actually look at the data around this.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so what I noticed was actually the opposite. When I looked at, I created 5% thresholds for the percentage of total WordPress sites. And when I looked at the data, I realised that for the last 10 releases, let’s see here. So every major version of the last six to eight releases has passed 35% of all WordPress sites in two days or less. And also every one of these columns as far as percentages is increasing.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so WordPress 6.9 reached the 50% threshold of all WordPress sites in 10 days, and that’s four days faster than 6.8, which was the next fastest. And currently we’re approaching 65% threshold of all WordPress sites. And only six other releases have done that so far. All of them are the most recent ones, except for 4.9e��=R�e�� % =R�
� ?� @, which we all know had a waiting period for Gutenberg. And the only release the past 70% was 6.8.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so I’m interested to see how this trend continues because it’s showing an acceleration of adoption for each new major version of WordPress. They’re getting installed faster, by more people. It’s a sign that we’re shipping stable software. People are more confident. People are opting into auto updates for major versions. And in general, it’s just a quality sign that we’re doing something right here. And so how can we lean into that more?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:23:52] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Okay, let’s pivot a little bit. Let’s sort of bind community, we did touch on this a minute ago, but let’s spend a little bit of time binding the community to these kind of things because right at the start you mentioned that really the community is the underpinnings of your interest in the WordPress space. The code is obviously tremendously important, but without the community there is no code basically.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so we’ve got these events. We’re trying to create interest around the WordCamps and the releases at the same time. But just looking back over the last period of time, let’s go for year, two years, something like that. I don’t know what your spidey sense is telling you, but my spidey sense is telling me that that community portion, it’s sort of slowly but surely, it feels like it’s withering away slightly.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’m not really picking up on like this angry mob of people who are stamping their feet and shouting, I don’t want anything to do with the WordPress community and then disappearing. I mean maybe there’s a few of those, probably, somewhere. But I don’t get a sense of that. I just get this sense of sort of, somebody’s pulled the plug out of a bathtub and it’s slowly sort of draining away.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Attendance down at WordCamps. Meetups struggling to sort of get the numbers that they had several years ago. And so it would feel like at the moment, you would have to be watching the news fairly closely, especially right now. So at the beginning of February, 2026 is when we’re recording this. There does seem to be a push from the senior leadership to make WordPress Meetups and things like that, a much more central part.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then there’s this whole broad spectrum of educational initiatives as well going on. So we’ve got WP Campus Connect, we’ve got the Credits Program and a whole smorgasbord of other things which is happening.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So there’s no question there, really, what I’m just trying to do is give you the opportunity to bind the two things, the WordPress community and the software, and really just talk about whether you’ve noticed the same thing as me, where there’s this slow, withering of the community. And maybe this is a part of just sort of getting it all back together, making events like this a bit more fun and interesting.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:26:02] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> Yeah. I think there’s a few things there to call out. The first observation I’ve had over the last year is there’s a palpable excitement to build with WordPress again. I’m noticing there’s a renewed enthusiasm. People, they want to move on from certain things, and they want to get back to building experiences and tools and things on the WordPress platform.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But there’s also, I think we’re dealing with some, in some ways, a long tail COVID effect, right? There was obviously, you know, a lack of in-person events for a while, and during that time a lot of the people who were keeping Meetups alive and WordCamps alive, they moved on, or burnt out, and chose not to return after. And so there was a break in that pipeline of, usually there’s a lead doing that and there’s other people learning under them, and then they move up and take over. And that was totally disrupted and I think that we’re still trying to rebuild that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I think that it manifests differently in different areas too. So for example, the APAC WordCamp community is very strong and they have lots of WordCamps. But in the United States, there was one WordCamp that wasn’t WordCamp US last year, I think, Montclair. And I lead the Boston WordPress Meetup and so finding speakers is difficult. Getting people to come out is difficult as well. And I think those are partially just larger societal shifts where it’s harder to get people to come out to certain things. And we just have different preferences as far as how we consume information or learn.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I’m still not sure why the difference in the geographical areas, and I think it may have to do more with, APAC is a more emerging market when it comes to WordPress, right? Like their community, especially in certain areas has been growing and is much newer than it is in the US. And so I think that they’re growing their communities for the first time in many ways, right? But in the US it’s the second or third or fourth time that we’re growing those communities or revitalising those communities. And the form that that needs to take, I think is a little different. And I’m not clear on what the holdup is there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I do know that a big factor of that is to get new people involved with WordPress and interested in WordPress, and that’s why some of the priorities that Mary Hubbard published, and one of them in particular is education and awareness and all of those different things that work together in the form of the WP Credits program, mentorship programs. There’s been the contributor mentorship programs that happen every few quarters in WordPress over the last few years.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And we’ve seen some really great contributors who were mentored in that program, and then the next time the program happened, they mentored, and then they became a team lead, and then they served on release squads. And so we’ve seen some really great contributed journeys through those paths.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:28:53] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I’ll just sort of run through with you the kind of things that I’ve noticed in my part of the world. So I think COVID is an enormous part of it. It upended so many ordinary things in life. So, as an example, you know, people obviously, they ceased going out, and then that pattern of not going out became habituated. People didn’t go out because that’s not what you do.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And in the UK we have this institution called the pub, which I’m sure you’ve heard of. And it used to be that prior to COVID, the pub was the real centerpiece of many communities. You know, towns, suburbs, what have you. Everybody would coalesce around the pub and that was very important. Since the pandemic, a lot of those institutions, they don’t really function in that way anymore. You know, there isn’t the throughput, there isn’t the footfall and so they go out of business.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And the same, I presume is true in the WordPress space. You know, we’re trying to encourage people to get up, leave their home, spend money on transportation. Obviously there’s the time cost, the sunk cost of time and what have you as well. It’s difficult, but it makes me more sanguine that it’s not just like, it’s not just a WordPress thing, you know, it’s the whole of society.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But like you said, I get the feeling that the WordPress community has begun to address it. And the way it’s being addressed is through these educational initiatives. Trying to get a throughput of younger talent. So get them at the school age, get them at the university age, and then hopefully they will have an interest. They’ll get a flavor of what it means to be involved in these Meetups and things like that and hopefully take those on.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s a laudable goal. I hope that it has the capacity to transfer. You know, so in a decade’s time we can look back and say, look what happened. This young blood emerged. I think it’s yet to be seen. I think certainly in the area, the locale where I am, the United Kingdom, we don’t see evidence of that yet. Maybe in the US that would also mirror.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But from everything that I’ve learned and the people that I’ve talked to for this podcast and events in Asia and places like that, that seems to be a really different picture. There seems to be a real thirst for solutions like WordPress. Because there’s a direct kind of career path there. You know, you can pick up a free piece of open source software, crack open a laptop and get going and start to sell your services far and wide. And so again, there’s no question there, just observations that I hope these initiatives bear fruit. But it’ll be interesting to see. Only time will tell.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:31:16] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> I think at the root of what we’re dealing with is that people are motivated by what they see as valuable, right? If they’re not going out to events, so they’re not engaging with the community, they don’t recognise or feel that it’s valuable to them in some way. And so we’re having to reprove why communities are valuable, why open source is valuable, why you should care.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then the other aspect of it is, you know, overall project sustainability. We can’t just keep getting older. We need to have a balance of new, younger people that get involved as well.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so one way to lean into getting younger is obviously, like you said, to approach people at schooling age, right? Or university, and teach them about open source. Show them how to contribute, how to be a part of a community, and why it’s valuable. But we have to be really careful because we need to be prepared to, I’ve written in the past that we need to be prepared to activate these contributors, right?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So it’s one thing to make them aware of this, but it’s another thing to make sure they’re properly supported and we give them pathways to grow. We give them clear criteria to be successful, clear projects to work on, so they understand what they’re doing and what they’re trying to accomplish.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And I think that this is one thing that is also a benefit of having the releases coincide with these major events because new people are getting together already, so why not use that opportunity?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the goals that every table lead and every organiser of a Contributor Day has is to ensure as many contributors see, realise their work over the finish line. And so on the Core team that’s a patch that someone tests gets committed, or a patch someone writes gets committed to WordPress, right? How can we make that more valuable, where it’s not just ending when they leave Contributor Day?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so I’ve been thinking about all the different logistics and helping to coordinate with the WordCamp Asia team and the 7.0 release team to make sure we’re prepared for that final day. And one of the things I’ve been thinking about is the release process itself. One of the best, lowest friction ways to get involved with WordPress in the actual release process. And you don’t need any experience contributing to really take part in it. And that’s when we get to a point where we say, okay, here’s the zip file of what we think we’re going to ship, go test it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so people will take it, and they install it on their server and they say which version of PHP they’re using, and how they installed it and what they did and, you know, it worked. And the majority of that though is just looking for problems. And when problems don’t come up, we just don’t do anything with all the information that people are dropping, right? And there might be 50 people at a major release. We call them parties, but at the release parties that are dropping information. And again, if there’s no red flags, that information just largely goes away.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But, how can we rethink that and make that effort more meaningful, and also create a pathway for them to continue contributing in some way past that moment? And having everybody in person is a great way to have pilot programs for different approaches, because there can be someone that briefs a set of contributors on what we’re going to try this time, here’s what we want to do, give us feedback on how you felt it went. Everybody that’s involved in the squad and doing the release can say, oh yeah, that actually was really helpful and better than what we do before.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And these newer individuals that are learning also have fresh perspective. And so having them participate in these, I guess I’ll call them experiments of such, but just these processes and things that we are considering, it helps get that fresh opinion and perspective on why things are working and why things aren’t and helps us just improve.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:35:04] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I’ve got three children and they’re all of a certain age now, they’re certainly no longer small. You know, they’re basically adults. And it’s really fascinating looking at the kind of things that engage them. I think they’ve just grown up in a different era. The diet of the kind of things that excite them is very different to the kind of things that excited somebody of my generation, just because, you know, they’ve had the whole world in their pocket ever since they were born.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And having that dialogue with the next generation, and trying to figure out what it is that they want and that they desire. And even things like open source. So when, I was already an adult before the internet began to be put into everybody’s homes, and people started to own personal computers and things like that. And so I was ready to receive that message of open source right at the start. And it became really obvious to me, oh, that’s a really clever way of making software.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But now of course we’ve got this landscape of closed platforms. Everything’s free at the point of use, but everything’s not free in any way, shape, or form. You can think of the siloed platforms that I’m talking about. My children have been raised with those and so just even making the argument about open source is hard enough.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So I think what I’m really advocating for is, obviously we’ve got to shepherd these people in, but at the same time, I think we have to be willing to let go of a lot of the things that we think the project is. We think the Meetup should contain. We think the WordCamp should maintain. Because at the end of the day, we’re competing for eyeballs and if we don’t make it, I’m going to use the word exciting, if we don’t make it exciting, they’re just not going to show up.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And I feel that’s a piece of the next five, six years, trying to figure out whe��=R� k��1 @ >�V

� ?� Cs. So you have a full 36-degree view on the block. And because the documentation is auto updated, it comes right there when the new features are kind of added to the block and it will be shown in the documentation. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This not only helps the developers and theme developers to have a better handle on or one lookup page or section in the documentation, it also helps AI agents to form a comprehensive space to learn about WordPress blocks. Because I have found that AI sometimes just does a custom HTML block and puts it all there instead of using a column block or cover block or something like that. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So this is a very big deal because that’s something where AI elevates human capabilities because he used AI to run the code that parses the block JSON and puts it into the documentation page and then also has that documentation page from the GitHub repo into the developers.wordpress.org document block editor documentation automatically merged there. So this is a big deal. And kudos to Juan Margarido. He also spent some time getting some community input from the documentation team from the Gutenberg leadership. We had a hallway hangout with a Q and A and it finally was merged now. So kudos.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> Yeah, that’s pretty cool. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Gutenberg 23.5</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I think now we’re moving to the latest release, 23.5, released July 1. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Enhancements</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I think the first thing we wanted to highlight was that the design system token defaults now with out a runtime which practically, as far as I understand it correctly, helps that all the styling from the design system is just there by default. There’s nothing that got missed. Is that correct? Yeah, because it happened before that some design elements were in style.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Exactly. Yeah. It’s now available as public export. That’s pretty much so you can use it in your own apps that you put into apps. I say it’s also called plugin, so you can use it without having to import it into your plugin via NPM and these kinds of things via the build process. So you can just import it into your app here. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I also want to point out again the match proposal for the design system. Everything there is kind of in a holistic way explained and also what it’s supposed to come to. And these are all plenty of the component work that’s done for 23.5 and released or merged is actually in support of the design system and the UI revamp of the components.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> I think about the block library. And we have a few other updates in the release. The first one is that the viewport states and the controls are now support for they supporting aspect ratio and all the related controls with that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> So I think yeah, it’s part of the styling system. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> For image blocks featured image block media library also no, no background images. A background cover image and cover block, yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Also yeah, okay, that’s the viewport states is the name that they give the responsive editing screens. So those controls are now also available. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There’s also a line item in the block library section of the changelog about the classic block to hide it from the inserter that has been reverted. That’s part of the blog post that I mentioned earlier that was published after the release of 23.4, so I wanted to point that out. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The next one is that the media editor modal is now available also for the cover block that comes with that. I think I mentioned that already. But now when you have a cover block with an image, you can also use the media editor modal to crop it, to rotate it, to tilt it and all that kind of things.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> That’s a nice add on small but also visually really nice to have is that the icon block now has controls for flip and rotate the icons, which is very nice to have like a. One of the things you like kind of expect to be able to do and then it’s super difficult. So now you can do that. And then it also. What is the second one about?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Oh, it just adds a default placeholder instead of to the blockchain.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yeah. So there was also a big push to have text alignment support for some of the text blocks. And now the block quote. I think there were seven or eight blocks that have that again. This time there was missing text align support and that has been rectified. So now you have also text align support for the block quote. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yeah, that was one thing that threw me quite a bit and quite often I always went back to the quotes block. But a quote block and a pull quote have different use cases and a pull plot is an excerpt from the article and you couldn’t make it not centered. It was kind of odd that you couldn’t left align it. Which is my favorite. Yeah. Centered when you have more than one word in the center, you hardly can read it. Or more than one line. Yeah. So I always wanted to be left aligned and I can’t quote just a sentence. Yeah. So I’m really great that they have a text aligned support now that makes sense.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> It’s these little things that kind of throw you, throw you off if you don’t have them and you’re like, why can’t I then? I think one of the biggest things in this release is that the resizable editor now it’s like fully resizable. You can drag it along. It’s not just mobile, tablet, desktop, you can get your own size and preview it. I think this is one of the biggest releases in this. In this update 23.5. So can you do anything else? You can resize it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Birgit Pauli-Haack: Yeah, yeah. It has a handle though. You can resize it. So you have a handle to make it smaller but not as small as mobile. So you can see if. If somebody uses a tablet whatever and odd width you can kind of test it if, if your settings actually work there or your. If the. The layout is there. But you cannot change the viewports themselves. Yeah. They are not customizable. It’s just so you can see the preview there. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> Which is very helpful like visually.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. Especially when you get a call and you don’t have that device on hand. Yeah. That a client sees or a client has a complaint from their clients that something is wrong on the view. You can just kind of tested in the block editor without having the device on hand. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But there is a long standing request to be able to change the viewport numbers and because right now they are hard coded to I think 768 is the desktop and then 467. Yeah. 468 is the tablet and or between there is tablet and then below is the mobile. But there is good news. There is coming with 23.6. It’s already merged is in PR where you can change that via the theme JSON. So theme developers are now able to change viewport numbers for their sites. There is no UI yet for it. But that’s typical. That theme JSON is first. So theme developers can test it out and can actually use it. But for the UI you need a little bit more information how things are going and how users would work with it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> And there’s also been a smaller change on. If you add a note that just. It’s simplified how the show more or less collapse works. If you have a long note you want to collapse it and show more or less. I think that just has been reworked or simplified.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Right.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> I don’t think it’s anything we see on the user side. Right. It’s more in the background. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> It’s just faster. Yeah. It’s kind of that. Okay. Mostly performance issue. Yeah. You’ll see a slight change there. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is the experiment of the omnipresent toolbar which is pretty much the admin bar. In the editors you see the admin bar, the black admin bar on top of the screen when you’re logged in and you look at your website from that perspective and you also in the post editor you see the black toolbar but you couldn’t in the site editor or in the other editors. So now the experiment is to show it but then also unify the interface because the design view or the site editor has its own W to go back to the other admin. And when it’s in the admin bar you just click where you normally click to get to the site. So it’s all unification of the interface pretty much. And now you can see the site icon instead of the dash icon if you select it as well in the toolbar. So there has been an ongoing effort and some of it might come to 7.1. It’s on the roadmap for the admin bar everywhere, so to speak.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> I think one thing that I remember I struggled with quite a lot is the flex behavior of children. So now there has been.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> You mean your child? Well, it’s not the flexibility of toddlers.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ellen Bauer: The Flex elements. I love flexbox CSS always have. But I think we always had a problem that they weren’t behaving like exactly like CSS. Flexbox should behave. So now one of the changes has been that so flex children that had a fixed width, this is now like truly fixed. I think it was squishable before. Can you say that? Is that correct? And now it’s like a truly fixed width to zero. So I think that’s one of the things visually that helps a lot. And then the other one was grid layouts now have fill available space, toggle. Is that correct? I think it’s just a toggle in the settings. Right. That you can toggle on and off and then you have auto fill and auto fit behavior. Okay. And this behaves exactly like CSS grid behavior.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, you would expect. Yeah, that’s pretty nice. There was some. Some quirkiness to the grid block and the grid layouts and I’m glad that Isabella is working on that constantly to improve it and to get back to it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> Yeah, she’s doing great work. I met her live at WordCamp Asia this year and it was really pleasant because I love flexbox Grid. I always love these blocks and CSS settings and they never quite worked. How I or like went into that depth, I wish they had. And yeah, she’s. I think, like, she has the same opinions, so it was a good chat. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another thing that is kind of cool and fun to have is that now global styles allow text shadow settings. So, yeah, there’s these options of text shadow, if you ever want to use that in like a cool, fun design or. So now you can set it in global styles, which is really cool. That wasn’t possible before at all, I believe. Right?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> Right.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: It’s a new style support.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> I really like that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, I tested it and it’s really nice. There are some presets in there that come from core, and I still need to figure out or find out how you can switch off some of the styles and how you can add your own styles like you can do with the shadow box. The shadow box has a feature that you can switch out the core styles with your own styles or just switch them off, but you definitely would need that for the texture as well.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> Maybe we will add that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, it’s not there. It’s the first version and the first version is pretty much a minimal viable kind of setup. Yeah. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The next thing is again Media Editor modal. It now has some error states. You can magnify the crop to fill the canvas and the current post always includes the initial options. There are also minor fixes, but that is because it gets ready for 7.1 release. So every aspect of it is actually and comes from feedback from the call for testing. The call for testing was actually already issued in I think in May. So it’s already a month in or two months in. So there is already some feedback coming back. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The data layer has a feature for the real time collaboration or many features, but one of them stands out is that you can disable collaboration per post. So if you have maybe a recipe or a book post type and you don’t want anybody to collaborate with you on that, you can switch that off. It’s probably best for very visual post types or it’s also necessary for template parts or for navigation. Those are also post types. You can control that now. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So there was a for a while in the text controls there was a prop to have the next 40px default size and there was underscore. Underscore was an experimental property and that now has been made the default. So if you had a 36 before or 32 on the default size for the text box, then if you wanted to be in the same realm as WordPress itself, you had to use the underscore next 40px default size prop to have the same sizes of the controls and now those are default now. So you don’t have to do this experimental prop to use but it will change how things work. So you might want to, as a theme developer or a plugin developer, you probably want to check your plugins, your text control components, how they change behavior or at least the default layout. So that’s why I’m calling that out here in the episode. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And also a similar thing is known that 23.6 Gutenberg 23.5 bumps. The minimum required version to install the Gutenberg plugin is now 6.94 versions 23.5 and newer. So if you are on 6.7 or 6.8, you are not getting the newest version of the Gutenberg plugin. So I think. Oh, there’s one more. Did I overlook something?</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Performance</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> No, I think on performance you highlighted that blocks migrate markdown converter from showdown to marked. And what does that do?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> It actually is just performed faster. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> Oh, yeah. Okay.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> And it also has a different parser, so it might have a say. It’s G. What’s it called? GTM. There is a standard for markdown that comes from GitHub and it now adheres to that standard. Yeah. So that’s updated. It’s a minimum change most people wouldn’t even need to do. But if you copy paste something from GitHub or from other Markdown editors or from your AI agent, it’s a different parsing process.</p>
<p class="wp-block-pa��\�@�Ɖ C \#�
� ?� Dragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> I just researched that and it said that the previous one was like from 2018 or so and this is just like a faster newer version that we updated to. Okay, that makes sense. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Experiments</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then there was one last highlighted thing on the block library unwrapping. Classic block migration notice experiment.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, that’s part of the effort to the classic logic. But that has also been reverted so it will not announce that this is deprecated. So it’s important to know that that line item in the change log has been overwritten already with a newer version that comes to 23.6 on July 22.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Various</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> And there was another small update on icons to self declare icons color on the icons block.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Oh, nice. Yeah, I overlooked that. I got lost in the changelog already. So.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> I mean there were a lot of these smaller things.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Oh yeah. So if you have an icon, it can say I’m. I’m only in blue or something like that. What does it mean, the current color?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Oh, current color. Yeah, of course. Duh. Yeah. I was still stuck on tab sync finally second the tab sync because it’s the. For stabilizing it to come into 7.1. The tabs block is still under active development until July 14, so don’t start building on it yet because there’s API cleanup and refactoring going on where the contributors try to nail down the final version before it gets into core. Yeah, that’s the end of it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> Wow.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, we still had a lot to talk about, Ellen. Yeah. So apart from the responsive styling, are you excited about some things that come to 7.1 in the near future?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> I think for me, being like a Visual X thing builder or and working on blocks, I think responsiveness is a big one and I’m excited to see how. Yeah. How we just kind of improve things. Also, I like that we are looking more into the dashboard and finding ways to unify the experience. I think this is one of the things that always come up that it looks kind of like two different versions, partly outdated. And I think we need to move along and kind of come to maybe not make everyone happy, of course, but come to a compromise that we can all live with and then move forward. I think this would really help WordPress to kind of shine in a way that it doesn’t look outdated or not like one product. I think if we can come together and do that and push for that change, that would be really, really helpful for all of us and for everyone and for WordPress. So I’m excited to contribute and help to make this happen.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Awesome. Awesome. Yeah. Yeah. I like the new blocks that are coming. Of course. I have been a fan of blocks since the beginning of the block editor, so I like that the playlist block and the TAMS block. And finally. The table of content. There is an effort to actually have the table of content come to WordPress. Right now. It’s only available for years in the Gutenberg plugin.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> I didn’t even know. I thought it would be in.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> Even small things like rotating icons and stuff like that or having them be the current color and all these grid and Flexbox things. They. We need these things. I think it’s still very, very important to have professional settings like that available.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. And this is a visual person. You’re probably also happy that you now can have in the group block. Background gradients. Gradients. We all love gradients. I love gradients. I love gradients. Yeah. And there’s these kinds of things.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> They’re like, why aren’t they there? And so responsiveness. And I think just of kind of growing up Gutenberg and the editing experience.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> Seems. And even like with AI helping on a lot of things and being able to patch CSS and stuff on onto things to make things better that we don’t have. I think it’s still important that we aim for a really high quality experience in manual editing so people find what they’re looking for and are not frustrated or get lost. I think that’s just the quality we want to stand for and have in WordPress no matter what.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> I think the standard should like, should be. We aim. Should aim for that as being just there for people, for users.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> I think we. We develop, as I say. Yeah. Are kind of really immersed in this AI grace and hype and also the possibilities and the usefulness of AI in our work. There is a danger that we forget that WordPress users that are writers or publishers actually are not using AI to do their work on WordPress. So we definitely need a delightful interface and all these small changes, quality of life changes and the big changes like the responsive editing and the dynamic galleries and whatever is going to come. The modal editor, the media editor needs to be delightful and useful for humans that are kind of having fun and producing more content for the Internet that is kind of. Yeah. Eating it whole, so to speak, with AI.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> Yeah, yeah, I love that too. Delightful is a beautiful word to use. Yeah. We want to delight people using WordPress and this should be our aim. AI or not, like in whatever. We have to meet users wherever they are, however they want to use the tool. It shouldn’t be, oh, we can leave this stuff now because everyone uses AI. I think if we have a user interface, it would be delightful. If it’s not yet delightful, we have to make it delightful. And AI can only help us to do that because we can contribute faster, we can move things faster. So let’s use AI for that, to delight users to meet them wherever they are for everything we offer, and we do offer a user interface. So here we are with some work to do.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haac</em>k: I think that’s a good end of the show today. Thank you so much, Ellen, to be on the show and walk with me through those changes that are coming and if people want to reach you, how is a good way to reach out to you.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> So I am in the community Slack WordPress community Slack. I’m also on social media, not that active to be fair, but reachable anytime. I think for WordPress community, the community Slack is the best place to reach me. But if you look at my name, Ellen Bauer, you can find me online on all kinds of platforms and I’m oh, I’m actually revamping my Manu and my Little Elmo Studio blog. So there’s going to be a new design and I’m really excited to get blogging again. Also doing a lot more like a few more YouTube videos. I have some ideas for that over the summer month now. So, so wonderful. Yeah, I will share if I have some news on that. Look out for Ellen or Elmer Studio and just reach out anywhere.</p>

� ?� Ere calls for testing</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Anne McCarthy</strong> published <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/2026/06/19/roadmap-to-7-1/">Roadmap to WordPress 7.1</a>., scheduled for August 19, 2026. Longstanding styling gaps are being tackled: responsive styling and interactive-state styling let you adjust blocks per viewport or on hover — no custom CSS required. You’ll also find new Playlist, Table of Contents, and Tabs blocks, a smarter command palette, a Design → Identity screen, the admin bar inside the editors, a media editor modal, and expanded Unicode support for email addresses.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Also mentioned Real-time collaboration, Knowledge Guidelines, React 19 upgrade, Classic block deprecation have been punted since the posts came out. Beta 1 arrives July 15 and will settle which of the other Roadmap features are in and which will be punted to a future release.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Nikunj Hatkar</strong>, this year’s team rep of the Core Test team, posted a <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/test/2026/07/03/call-for-testing-responsive-styling/">call for testing responsive styling</a>. You’ll be able to style blocks differently for tablet and mobile right in the editor — no custom CSS or media queries needed. The underlying PR unifies the resizable canvas with the device-preview switcher. Fire up the linked WordPress Playground instance, walk through the four test scenarios, and share what feels intuitive or broken. Plugin and theme developers should test their canvas integrations, too.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Dennis Snell</strong> published a <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/2026/06/10/call-for-testing-unicode-email-addresses/">call for testing Unicode email addresses</a>. With initial support merged, <code>is_email()</code> and <code>sanitize_email()</code> now accepting non-ASCII addresses like <code>grå@grå.org</code>, and validation aligns with the <a href="https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/input.html#valid-e-mail-address"><em>Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group</em> (WHATWG) spec.</a> You’ll want to check your plugins and themes: the new <code>WP_Email_Address</code> class gives you structured access to local and domain parts, and a snippet lets you disable Unicode support until third-party integrations catch up.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="three-merge-proposals">Three Merge Proposals </h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Core contributors put together three merge proposal for new features to be added to Core for public comment. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Andrew Duthie</strong> published a <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/2026/07/07/merge-proposal-design-system-theming/"><strong>merge proposal for Design System Theming</strong></a>, bringing design tokens and a new theme component to WordPress. Built by the Gutenberg Components Team, it turns hard-coded admin styles into CSS custom properties, so your plugins and screens stay consistent and accessible. A color ramp tool generates harmonious, accessible scales from just two seed colors, and the user color scheme reaches the Site Editor — with dark mode on the horizon. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Anne Katzeff </strong>published a tutorial <strong><a href="https://www.askdesign.biz/blog/2026/05/exploring-the-wordpress-cover-block-parallax-scroll/">exploring the WordPress Cover Block for parallax scrolls</a>. </strong>You’ll learn how the Fixed Background setting turns a Cover block into a layered parallax effect — background, middle ground, and foreground text moving at different speeds. The post steps through nesting a second Cover block, switching which layer scrolls, and improving text readability with grouped backgrounds. A video tutorial rounds it out. She also demos her process in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dux016qIXSM">this YouTube video</a>. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Carrie Dils </strong>shared a case study, <a href="https://carriedils.com/one-header-two-themes/"><strong>One Header, Two Themes</strong></a>, on phasing a legacy Elementor site toward Full Site Editing without a rebuild or content freeze. Using ThemeSwitcher Pro to run two themes side-by-side, she built one shared header in a plugin that both themes render. You’ll learn from five real-world snags — WooCommerce’s hooked blocks, cascade conflicts, routing gaps, query-string bypasses — and why shipping the shared layer first de-risks everything after.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Gina Lucia</strong> compared <a href="https://olliewp.com/wordpress-theme-vs-page-builder/"><strong>WordPress block themes vs page builders</strong></a> on the <em>Ollie</em> blog. You’ll get a clear-eyed walkthrough of what classic themes, page builders, and block themes each handle — scope, design control, performance, lock-in, and maintenance — with side-by-side tables. Her conclusion: block themes combine sitewide design control with visual editing natively, so you rarely need a page builder anymore, though migration costs and team habits can justify keeping one.</p>

You’ll appreciate his candor: 10,590 widgets migrated via a purpose-built plugin, re-run against fresh production snapshots, with flaky conversions fixed by hand. Even untuned, PageSpeed jumped from 22 to 67.</p>

<span id="more-3943"></span>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Markup and mixed content</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the first jobs of a parser for any plaintext-oriented format is to determine if the next input character represents real text or is part of a syntax form that carries special meaning. If it’s a syntax form we would call it <em>markup</em>, but if the characters are part of real text meant for display or rendering or reading then we call it <em>data</em>.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Anything that is not syntax is data.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The interpretation of the next character depends on the region of the document in which it’s parsed. While the rules for syntax forms are complicated<sup class="fn"><a href="https://fluffyandflakey.blog/tag/wordpress/feed/#0ba56e66-ab0f-4fbd-93d2-df22a6984fd7" id="0ba56e66-ab0f-4fbd-93d2-df22a6984fd7-link">1</a></sup>, this post will focus on the data forms.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">PCDATA — “parsed character data”</h3>
<p class="is-style-plain wp-block-paragraph"><em>May form: tags, comments, sections, character references, literal text.</em></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Characters in this region could be data or could form the start of a new markup element. It’s “parsed” because it needs parsing before determining what it represents.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The HTML specification renames this to <code>Data</code>, which is simpler and a bit harder to search for. In XML, however, it’s used in a document-type definition (DTD). When an element may contain content — text — its data model must include <code>#PCDATA</code>. Otherwise the only characters allowable within that element are other elements, comments, and whitespace. XML documents are required to be valid SGML documents, so its own specification adopts the terminology from SGML’s.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Those who have worked with DTDs might note that <em>elements</em> in XML may contain <code>#PCDATA</code> while <em>attributes</em> contain <code>CDATA</code> instead. First of all, the <code>#</code> is there only to make it explicit that <code>PCDATA</code> is referring to the reserved keyword, rather than a <code><pcdata></code> element. Secondly, there’s a good reason for this, which is that attributes can only contain text — they can’t contain other elements of markup. If an attribute value could contain a <code><span></code> element, for example, then the attribute value would need to be <code>#PCDATA</code> instead, but this is prevented by design.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">PCDATA actually contains more than just literal text and elements. In addition to comments, processing instructions, and other node-like syntax, one important feature of PCDATA is the <em>character reference</em>. These make it possible to represent characters that would conflate with syntax (such as ‘<code><</code>’ — <code>&lt;</code>) or which might be cumbersome to enter on a keyboard (such as ‘§’ — <code>&sect;</code>). When parsing, each character in these sequences neither creates an element nor displays as the text itself; rather, the entire sequence is parsed and translates into the character it refers to.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">HTML pre-specifies <a href="https://github.com/w3c/html/blob/master/entities.json">a fixed set of named character references</a>, but any Unicode code point may be referenced by its decimal or hexadecimal numeric index. While XML also allows referencing code points by their index<sup class="fn"><a href="https://fluffyandflakey.blog/tag/wordpress/feed/#6d3de5b9-f8a6-4f46-853b-3d407731feca" id="6d3de5b9-f8a6-4f46-853b-3d407731feca-link">2</a></sup>, it only pre-specifies the five named characters which correspond to its main markup introducers: <code><</code>, <code>></code>, <code>&</code>, <code>'</code>, and <code>"</code>. In XML, any additional named character references are created through the DTD by defining <em>entities</em>.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"> CDATA — “character data”</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>May form: [character references], literal text.</em></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If a character isn’t markup, then it’s <em>character data</em>, which means that it’s representing its literal self or it’s part of a <em>character reference</em>. Once the parser has entered this region it will not create markup elements.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">CDATA is the most confusable kind of character data; this is because there are many kinds of CDATA that share the same name:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">CDATA sections contain only literal text</h4>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many people are familiar with <code>CDATA sections</code>, but it took me far longer to understand them than my intuition led on. They are the vestige of SGML “marked regions” which tell the parser to handle a specific range of bytes in a special way. The <code>CDATA</code> section is one of those, which tells the parser to <em>completely turn off until it reaches <code>]]></code></em>.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">There are no CDATA sections in HTML</h4>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Internet is full of discussions about the use of CDATA sections in HTML, but there are no such things, mostly. HTML itself is an amalgam of pure HTML and embedded SVG and MathML. Content inside of those <em>embedded</em> SVG and MathML elements is parsed differently, and within this “foreign content” there <em>are</em> <code>CDATA section</code> nodes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When something which <em>look like a CDATA section</em> appears in an HTML document, it’s transformed into a “bogus” HTML comment and considered a snippet of malformed markup. To make things more confusing, the parsing rules differ inside an HTML document for these regions depending on whether they are found within HTML elements or foreign elements.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>When a real CDATA section appears within SVG and MathML, it parses as in XML or SGML — everything is literal text <em>until</em> the nearest <code>]]></code>.</li>
<li>When a malformed CDATA look-alike appears in an HTML element, it gets special treatment — the parser only turns off until the nearest <code>></code>. This means that these sections end even without a closing <code>]]></code>, and when they do, all of their contained content disappears from the page.</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That small difference confuses naïve parsers and is a regular source of bugs.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">SGML contains CDATA regions outside of marked CDATA sections</h4>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SGML made it possible to define more kinds of content than XML does for a given element. For example, an element in SGML can be declared to have a CDATA content model, in which case the element itself behaves like a CDATA section. All characters after the opening tag are treated as literal text until the parser finds the nearest appropriate end tag<sup class="fn"><a href="https://fluffyandflakey.blog/tag/wordpress/feed/#2d0aee27-cf77-4b19-a4c5-3b1cc4192c53" id="2d0aee27-cf77-4b19-a4c5-3b1cc4192c53-link">3</a></sup>. XML rejected this ability because it increases the complexity of the parser and requires that every document also contains a full DTD when parsing. For example, if an element were declared to have CDATA content, then <code>a <at> b</code> would represent that literal string; on the other hand, if it were declared like any other normal element, it would have three children: “<code>a </code>”, the <code><at></code> opening tag, and “<code> b</code>”.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These kinds of elements do exist in HTML, though a few were modified when HTML5 was standardized in 2008. Inside of the elements, the parser essentially turns off, which makes them easy to parse and can help avoid the need to extensively escape content. These elements are, of course, <code><script></code> and <code><style></code><sup class="fn"><a href="https://fluffyandflakey.blog/tag/wordpress/feed/#68152c30-bf36-4e5b-a7df-3f0610daeadb" id="68152c30-bf36-4e5b-a7df-3f0610daeadb-link">4</a></sup>.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Were it not for the CDATA declared content model, every angle bracket and ampersand would have to be escaped in included JavaScript and CSS. In XHTML this was required, because it had no CDATA declared content model (since it was XML)<sup class="fn"><a href="https://fluffyandflakey.blog/tag/wordpress/feed/#21aeab38-6e1f-4700-a8f4-27c96ebe0c3b" id="21aeab38-6e1f-4700-a8f4-27c96ebe0c3b-link">5</a></sup>.</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">All text in XML is CDATA</h4>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Herein lies the most-confusing aspect of discussing CDATA — XML contains CDATA sections as well as <em>CDATA</em> as normal text. After parsing there is no distinction between <code>&lt;tag&gt;</code> and <code><![CDATA[<tag>]]></code> in the parsed content.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many XML generators (or serializers) provide two mechanisms for creating text content: one wraps text in a <code>CDATA section</code> and leaves the text as it came (apart from avoiding including the terminating sequence); the other escapes syntax characters instead. While there are times where it would be appropriate to intentionally pick one over the other, a good library design would at least offer a third mechanism (if not <em>only</em> providing this third mechanism) which simply produces <em>CDATA</em>, itself determining when to wrap and when to escape<sup class="fn"><a href="https://fluffyandflakey.blog/tag/wordpress/feed/#6e56b2ce-8156-4bf5-a4d3-d297a401c1a3" id="6e56b2ce-8156-4bf5-a4d3-d297a401c1a3-link">6</a></sup>, and whether or not to produce chunks of wrapped text interspersed with chunks of escaped text.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The real difference between these two kinds of CDATA is purely presentational in the source document, as the XML snippet below only contains one text node, not two. <em>Creating CDATA does not imply creating a <code>CDATA section</code>!</em></p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">RCDATA — “replaceable character data”</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>May form: character references, literal text.</em></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There’s one more confusing designation for characters in the HTML and XML input streams: <em>RCDATA</em>. RCDATA is almost identical to CDATA, except that in contexts where CDATA does not decode character references and entities, RCDATA <em>will</em> decode them <em>into</em> CDATA. This is confusing, because in the context of an XML attribute, the <code>CDATA</code> designation in a DTD automatically implies that character references are decoded, unlike the <code>CDATA</code> sections in <em>content</em>.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To this end there are no RCDATA attributes, since character references are always decoded inside attribute values. The RCDATA declaration is like the SGML CDATA content declaration: all characters following the opening tag for this element will be treated as text until the nearest matching closing tag (the difference being only that character references are recognized and decoded).</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s worth remembering that XML rejected the CDATA content type because of how it complicates parsing, and it also rejected the RCDATA type. On the other hand, RCDATA was incorporated into HTML, but statically so. HTML has no configurable DTD, but in its specification two elements contain RCDATA content:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><code>TITLE</code></li>
<li><code>TEXTAREA</code></li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While it’s easy to comprehend the way that <code><textarea></code> works, and that’s probably because we are used to entering text into one on a web page, the behavior of <code><title></code> is consistently confused in all manner of programming languages, platforms, and HTML-parsing code.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The TITLE element <em>only</em> contains character data — it cannot contain other markup. The parsing is among the easiest sections of an HTML document to parse: once the <code><title></code> opening tag is detected, the parser can capture everything until the nearest <code></title></code> closing tag. Everything it captured is literal text, after decoding character references.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This complicates content management systems like WordPress which allow posts to have HTML in their <em>post titles</em>, because a page can show richly-formatted article titles which cannot be represented in the browser tab’s label, and care must be taken to extract the plaintext content from that HTML before display in those contexts.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="summary">Coda</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">HTML and XML both speak about different kinds of characters in their source documents and content models, which traces from the complicated ways that SGML documents could be constructed. SGML’s complexity almost always stems from the central idea that computers should do extra work to remove the hassle for humans to enter structured content in plaintext documents.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">HTML, inspired by SGML, adopted some of the names and mechanisms for parsing those regions of text in distinct ways, but codified a single parsing standard independent of SGML. When XML was later developed, it was meant to form a simplified subset of SGML. This subset flipped the tradeoffs, leaning on humans performing extra work to remove the hassle for computers to parse structure in plaintext documents. For these text forms, this meant rejecting a few of the constructs while retaining others.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is also another demonstration of how <em>balanced tags are not enough</em> to have well-behaved HTML with a naïve parser. A well-formed XML document <a href="https://www.ch.imperial.ac.uk/rzepa/talks/pmr11/xml-dev/9708/0152.html">may be parsed with a terse PERL script and regular expression</a>, but HTML relies heavily on the context in which characters are found. Any HTML parser <em>must</em> know the special rules for each kind of element’s content model.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">In summary</h3>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>When it’s unclear whether a character forms text or markup, that is PCDATA. Once parsed, there is no PCDATA anymore; it’s either a form of DATA or MARKUP.</li>
<li>All text nodes in HTML are “DATA.”</li>
<li>“CDATA” just means “character data” and means that after parsing, the content is text. It does not indicate whether character references are to be decoded or not; that comes from the region in the document, based on its context.</li>
<li>There are no CDATA sections in HTML<sup class="fn"><a href="https://fluffyandflakey.blog/tag/wordpress/feed/#31e75dae-1847-44df-92e1-8ae5756eeec6" id="31e75dae-1847-44df-92e1-8ae5756eeec6-link">7</a></sup>.</li>
<li>All text nodes in XML are CDATA, but only after being parsed.</li>
<li>CDATA sections offer a convenient way to avoid escaping, but are indistinguishable from the equivalent escaped text.</li>
<li>HTML contains two special RCDATA elements which <em>only</em> and <em>always</em> contain a single text node child: <code><title></code> and <code><textarea></code>. Everything until the closing tag will be parsed as text, even if it looks like markup.</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This post is already long and still over-simplifies the picture. SGML is a rich and robust specification and includes <code>NDATA</code> and <code>SDATA</code>, HTML includes a <em>latching</em> <code>PLAINTEXT</code> parsing mode in which <em>the rest of the entire document is parsed as literal character data</em>, and there are other surprising goodies in how entities interact with the character mode.</p>

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Form elements are now standardized in the mobile viewport (<a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/64999">#64999</a>)</li>
<li>The image editor’s scale and crop inputs no longer mismatch in size, and the info icon uses the new color scheme (<a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/64937">#64937</a>, <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65428">#65428</a>)</li>
<li>The publish settings panel no longer crowds its primary action buttons together (<a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65286">#65286</a>)</li>
<li>The Media Library’s loading spinner is properly aligned in the modal filter toolbar, and the search bar no longer jumps position after a search (<a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65275">#65275</a>, <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65296">#65296</a>)</li>
<li>A “black flash” that briefly appeared on wp-admin pages before the interface finished loading is gone (Gutenberg <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/78493">#78493</a>)</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Emoji behave correctly again.</strong> Two related fixes: the emoji detection script is once more printed in the admin (<a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65310">#65310</a>), and certain characters are no longer incorrectly replaced by Twemoji images (<a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/64318">#64318</a>).</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Accessibility improvements to the new revisions experience.</strong> The Visual History / Revisions feature introduced in 7.0 receives several accessibility fixes: focus now moves to the revisions slider when entering revisions mode, and changed blocks are marked with a CSS outline as a secondary, non-color indicator — important for users with low vision or color blindness (<a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65122">#65122</a>, Gutenberg <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/77530">#77530</a>, <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/78393">#78393</a>, <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/79691">#79691</a>).</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The most important fixes for developers</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><code>wp_kses()</code> no longer corrupts valid CSS (<a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65270">#65270</a>).</strong> Since 7.0 RC4, <code>wp_kses()</code> could mangle legitimate <code>background-image: url(…)</code> declarations into a broken <code>style=")"</code> attribute. If your theme or plugin outputs inline background images through KSES-filtered content, 7.0.1 restores expected behavior — any workarounds you shipped can now be removed.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><code>global-styles-inline-css</code> can be dequeued again (<a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65336">#65336</a>).</strong> Since 7.0, developers were unable to remove the global styles inline stylesheet. If your build pipeline or performance optimization strips this and re-serves it another way, that control is back.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>PHP 8.5 compatibility fix in <code>wp_get_attachment_image_src()</code> (<a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/64742">#64742</a>).</strong> An incorrect array access triggered issues under PHP 8.5. If you’re testing sites on newer PHP versions, this removes one blocker.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>A removed Navigation function returns as a deprecated shim (Gutenberg <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/78484">#78484</a>).</strong> <code>block_core_navigation_submenu_render_submenu_icon()</code> was removed in 7.0, breaking themes and plugins that called it directly. It’s restored as a deprecated shim — but treat this as your migration notice, not a reprieve. Update any code that references it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Editor state management fixes reduce false “unsaved changes” warnings.</strong> Two Gutenberg fixes matter here: </p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>controlled/mode block changes are now marked non-persistent (<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/79350">#79350</a>), and </li>
<li>related navigation entities are no longer dirtied during passive renders (<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/79000">#79000</a>). </li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Together these should mean fewer spurious dirty states and a cleaner undo history — a quality-of-life improvement if you build with template parts and navigation blocks.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Block Visibility: “hide everywhere” keeps working after a block opts out of visibility support (<a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65389">#65389</a>).</strong> If you register blocks that disable visibility support, previously hidden instances now stay hidden as expected.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to update</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can update directly from <strong>Dashboard → Updates</strong> in your site’s admin, run <code>wp core update</code> with WP-CLI, or download WordPress 7.0.1 from WordPress.org and install it manually. Sites that support automatic background updates for minor releases will begin updating on their own shortly.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The full ticket list is available in the<a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/2026/07/01/wordpress-7-0-1-rc1-is-now-available/"> release candidate announcement</a>, Trac report 4, and the 7.0.x editor tasks board on GitHub.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What’s next: WordPress 7.1</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With 7.0.1 out the door, attention turns to the next major release: WordPress 7.1 is scheduled for August 19, 2026.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the WordPress open source project, community participants receive credit for contributing to a given change or deliverable by receiving “props.”</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Props should be given to all those who contributed to the final commit, whether through patches, refreshed patches, code suggested otherwise, design, writing, user testing, or other significant investments of time and effort.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The names of all the contributors who helped make a specific release possible are collected in the weeks leading up and added to the Credits API, which powers the Credits page in the WordPress dashboard.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To date, I have been listed on the Credits page for 24 consecutive releases starting with 4.7, and 29 of the 35 releases overall since my first credited contribution in <a href="https://wordpress.org/news/2013/08/oscar/">WordPress 3.6 “Oscar”,</a> alongside 224 other contributors.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Every year is a bit different than the last, but I can confidently say that this past year has been significantly different. What it means to develop software or contribute to open source is changing rapidly with advanced AI innovations seemingly every day combined with these tools being accessible to more people than ever before.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today is the 13th Anniversary of my first credited contribution to the WordPress project. I try to write a blog post each year to mark the occasion.</p>

Please go and read all of my past posts (accessible here at this category feed https://jonathandesrosiers.com/category/contributing-anniversaries/feed) and give me 10-12 ideas for what to focus on this year. You can also look through the other content on my site for other ideas.</p>

<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li class=""><strong>The nocturnal committer.</strong> ~50 of your commits land between <strong>midnight and 4am</strong>. Tuesday (37) and Thursday (31) are your peak days; Saturday is nearly dead (3).</li>
<li class=""><strong>The month that didn’t exist.</strong> <strong>January 2026: zero commits.</strong> March 2026: <strong>40</strong>. Your cadence is a heartbeat synced to the 6.9 and 7.0 release cycles, not the calendar.</li>
<li class=""><strong>The June 30th ritual.</strong> You bumped Gutenberg’s pinned hash <strong>seven times in a single day</strong> (v22.8.0 → v23.4.0) — a whole quarter of catching-up compressed into one sitting.</li>
<li class=""><strong>Supply-chain quiet work.</strong> Pinning full-length action SHAs, replacing abandoned third-party actions, migrating release logic to a GitHub App, ca-bundle updates — you spent the year hardening the software supply chain nobody thanks you for.</li>
<li class=""><strong>Keeping the ancient libraries breathing.</strong> lodash, underscore, backbone, getID3, Twemoji — you’re the caretaker of WordPress’s legacy vendored code.</li>
<li class=""><strong>Future-proofing the matrix.</strong> MyS�L�z\n�I��� I \��
� ?� JQL 9.5/9.6/9.7, MariaDB 12.1, PHP 8.5 (HEIF/HEIC) — you test tomorrow’s platforms today.</li>
<li class=""><strong>A first, quietly historic commit:</strong> <em>“Include example for disclosing AI usage”</em> — you helped write core’s early AI-disclosure norms.</li>
</ol>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-10-12-ideas-for-the-year-13-post">10–12 ideas for the year-13 post</h4>
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li class=""><strong>“The Plumber’s Year: 67% of My Commits Were Infrastructure.”</strong> Own the unglamorous. A love letter to build/test/CI work — the contributions that never show up in a release announcement but without which nothing ships. This is your strongest, most authentic angle.</li>
<li class=""><strong>“Confessions of a Nocturnal Committer.”</strong> Fun, human, data-driven: your midnight-to-4am commit cluster, Tuesday/Thursday peaks, the dead January. Chart your year as a heartbeat and reflect on what it says about maintainer rhythms (and sustainability/burnout).</li>
<li class=""><strong>“216 Times.”</strong> Companion to your 2024 props post, flipped: this year you <em>received</em> credit ~216 times in core (119 committed + 97 propped). Explore the two halves of a committer’s fingerprint — the work you land yourself vs. the work you shepherd for others.</li>
<li class=""><strong>“The Boring Commits That Keep 40% of the Web Safe.”</strong> The supply-chain security angle: pinned SHAs, abandoned-action replacement, the GitHub App migration, ca-bundle. Frame maintenance-as-security — timely and underappreciated.</li>
<li class=""><strong>“I Test the Future So You Don’t Break in It.”</strong> MySQL 9.7, MariaDB 12.1, PHP 8.5 — a piece on being the person who runs tomorrow’s platforms against today’s code, and why the test matrix is a form of care.</li>
<li class=""><strong>“The Commit I’m Proudest Of Was One Line About AI.”</strong> Use <em>“Include example for disclosing AI usage”</em> as a springboard into how WordPress (and you) navigated AI’s arrival in the contribution workflow in 2025–26. Very of-the-moment.</li>
<li class=""><strong>“Anatomy of a Revert.”</strong> Six times this year you reverted your own or others’ work. A candid, senior-contributor essay on why reverting is a feature not a failure — iteration, humility, and trunk stability.</li>
<li class=""><strong>“A Year in Dependencies.”</strong> The stewardship story — lodash/underscore/backbone/getID3/Twemoji. What it means to be the caretaker of code written a decade ago that you can’t just delete. Legacy as responsibility.</li>
<li class=""><strong>“Who I Built With.”</strong> Refresh your collaborator lens for year 13: westonruter (24), jorbin (22), johnbillion (15), peterwilsoncc (14), wildworks (13)… Name the people behind the props lines and tell a story or two about the work you shared.</li>
<li class=""><strong>“The Shape of a Release Cycle, Drawn in Commits.”</strong> Overlay your monthly commit counts on the 6.9 and 7.0 timelines — the March spike, the December bundled-themes push, the quiet stretches. Show readers what a maintainer’s year <em>looks like</em> mapped to what shipped.</li>
<li class=""><strong>“Same Job, New Tools: Automating Myself Out of the Loop.”</strong> Your Gutenberg PRs are almost all release automation — GitHub App auth, GHCR publishing, reproducible builds, Dependabot. A reflective piece on spending your labor building the machine that does the labor, and what that means for the next generation of contributors.</li>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>We need to tell the story of Open Source in as many ways and places as possible. It’s never been more critical. </strong></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Film is new to us, and it’s funny how quickly things change: There’s a segment with a few “OpenAI not open” sound bites, but to their credit, they <a href="https://openai.com/open-models/">have been releasing open-weight models (Safeguard is particularly interesting)</a>. That said, the <a href="https://artificialanalysis.ai/leaderboards/models?weights=open">top open-weight models are all from China</a>, save for <a href="https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/ai-data-science/foundation-models/nemotron/">Nvidia’s Nemotron</a>, in ~12th place. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When I went to the first WordCamps <a href="https://ma.tt/2008/09/first-day-in-beijing/">in Beijing</a> and <a href="https://ma.tt/2008/09/shanghai-wordcamp/">Shanghai</a> in 2009, it was a very different time. They were the biggest in the world at the time! I don’t think you could <a href="https://ma.tt/2008/09/first-day-in-beijing/#jp-carousel-7712">take photos in Tiananmen Square as freely as I did then</a>; now to visit I think you need an appointment, ID checks, and security checks. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Even during WordCamp, it felt like the freedom of Open Source was in high demand, but it also created a lot of fear. I found out later that one of the student volunteers who helped their professor organize everything had been taken in for hours of questioning following the event.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On that trip, I saw how fine-grained the Great Firewall could be when individual posts (IIRC, about bad milk from a factory harming babies) wouldn’t load, but the rest of the site would. WordPress.com had been totally blocked, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090601162213/http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5igVn4hcj6ZNWlawSvzLvgEMkZmkQ">taking about a quarter of our traffic at the time</a>, but behind the Firewall, Open Source continued to thrive and grow, and now the frontier open models are being driven by China in a way I never would have predicted!</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Once you’ve had a taste of freedom, it’s hard to go back.</strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:00:19] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Welcome to the Jukebox Podcast from WP Tavern. My name is Nathan Wrigley.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jukebox is a podcast which is dedicated to all things WordPress. The people, the events, the plugins, the blocks, the themes, and in this case, building trust and collaboration in the hosting industry with the Secure Hosting Alliance.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’d like to subscribe to the podcast, you can do that by searching for WP Tavern in your podcast player of choice, or by going to wptavern.com/feed/podcast, and you can copy that URL into most podcast players.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you have a topic that you’d like us to feature on the podcast, I’m keen to hear from you, and hopefully get you, or your idea, featured on the show. Head to wptavern.com/contact/jukebox, and use the form there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So on the podcast today, we have David Snead. David has been involved in the hosting industry since 1999, starting out as legal counsel for one of the earliest shared hosting companies, and going on to work with over 50 others. He helped found the i2Coalition, serve as in-house counsel for cPanel and WebPros, and now leads the Secure Hosting Alliance.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re listening to this podcast, I’m sure that many of you will have worked closely with hosting companies. Perhaps you run an agency, or business, that depends on the reliability, ethics, and security of hosting providers. David is here to talk about cross-industry collaboration in the hosting world, specifically around improving security, professionalism, and communication between hosts.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The conversation focused on why, and how, the Internet Infrastructure Forum, or IIF, is building a framework for real-time intelligence sharing and abuse reporting, aiming to help the entire ecosystem detect and prevent attacks faster than adversaries can adapt.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">David talks about the challenges hosting companies face, especially smaller ones, in keeping up with security, and how this evolving project hopes to ease this by sharing actionable, non-proprietary abuse information across registrars, hosting providers, DNS services, and more.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He discusses the growth of both the Secure Hosting Alliance and the IIF, the businessI���\��V�x� J \�
� ?� K case for collaboration, and the nuances of legal and technical information sharing across borders.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re in hosting, run a web agency, or just want to know how the backbone of the web is working to stay more secure and connected, this episode is for you.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re interested in finding out more, you can find all of the links in the show notes by heading to wptavern.com/podcast, where you’ll find all the other episodes as well.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so, without further delay, I bring you David Snead.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I am joined on the podcast by David Snead. Hello David.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:20] <strong>David Snead:</strong> Hello.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:21] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Very nice to have you with us. David’s got a really interesting background, and a really interesting, I’m going to use the word project. I don’t know if that’s the right word. It feels like it’s got more solidity and it’s got a lot more history than that. It’s something which is, I think going, but we’ll find out a little bit more about it. It’s all about the hosting industry and trying to get hosts to, I guess communicate with each other in ways going forwards.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:44] <strong>David Snead:</strong> That is a part of it. There are really two goals and one is to level up the ethics and professionalism in the hosting industry. And the second is to facilitate more comradery and interaction among hosts. Something that folks felt occurred in the early 2000s, and with all the consolidation that occurred went away. And so that’s something that we’re also trying to facilitate.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:04:16] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Okay. So given that we’re going to be talking about hosting, I guess it’s a good idea to paint your credentials and find out a little bit more about you. So a short opportunity to just tell us a little about you and your background in WordPress and hosting specifically, I suppose.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:04:29] <strong>David Snead:</strong> Sure. So I have been working in the hosting industry since 1999. As I often say, I was working in the hosting industry when hosting was cool. It is not so cool anymore. In fact most people don’t really pay attention to it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You know, and I started as a lawyer for a hosting company, and I was in-house counsel for a company that actually owned a hosting company and was one of the earliest hosting companies that specialised in shared hosting. And so I was their general counsel. And for some reason it stuck, and I’ve just kind of turned it into a career.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So after that I had a private practise as a lawyer and I worked with probably 50 different hosting companies, mostly writing policies that nobody ever reads, which makes me super fun at parties.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then from there, my friend Christian Dawson and I formed the i2Coalition as a response to some legislation in the US that would’ve been kind of the death nail for internet providers. So we started the i2Coalition. I then went in-house for cPanel and worked at cPanel and WebPros for 10 years, and then started the Secure Hosting Alliance.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:05:52] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Okay. So you’ve got all all the history. That’s pretty good. You know, if we’re going to talk about hosting.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:05:57] <strong>David Snead:</strong> All the hosting history in one person. That’s kind of a very scary idea, no?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:06:02] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> But that’s excellent. So do you still offer counsel? Is that still, so you haven’t sort of sidestepped and do half of the week on a sort of more technical basis? It’s still the legal side that you’re involved in.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:06:13] <strong>David Snead:</strong> I do. Right now I’m doing mostly M&A work for, it’s weird. So I don’t know if anybody has ever said this to you before, but web hosting is kind of like the Hotel California. It’s like, once you start in the web hosting industry, you never leave. And so I have all these clients from 15 years ago who are now running like little baby hosts, and they’re talking to bigger hosts and they want to get acquired. So I’m doing some of that now. I am not writing any of the policies that nobody ever reads because that was just, I did that for too long.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:06:51] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> There were too many moments parties.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:06:53] <strong>David Snead:</strong> Yes, exactly. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:06:55] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Okay, so I’m going to read into the record the title and the blurb that went with the presentation that you are doing or done.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:07:02] <strong>David Snead:</strong> I did it yesterday.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:07:03] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Okay, we’ll get into that in a moment. So the title is coordinating the fight, cross industry collaboration, and the blurb goes as follows. WordPress hosting threats cross company lines. When one provider falls victim, the entire ecosystem suffers. This session explores how the Internet Infrastructure Forum, or IFF, enables hosting providers, registrars and registries to coordinate abuse response through real time intelligence sharing. Learn how operational collaboration helps responsible operators detect and stop attacks faster than adversaries can adapt. And why working together produces results no single provider could achieve alone.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When I read that, immediately was, yeah, that’s a really sensible idea. Why are we separately, as hosting companies, I say we, I mean the hosting companies. Why are they all trying to do the same work over and over again, separately? When presumably this aspect of the work, the security bit is something they all have in common.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:08:05] <strong>David Snead:</strong> Right? So that’s the fundamental question, right? So the IIF is a voluntary organisation that is made up of everyone in the infrastructure stack. So from registrars, registries, DNS providers, hosting providers, cloud providers, everyone in the stack. So it is facilitated by the Internet and Jurisdiction Foundation. They’re based in Paris, and they’re the actually the secretariat for it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And what it’s designed to do is create a common way for everyone who’s in the infrastructure stack to share information about abuse and abuse issues. And it’s one of the fundamental problems that you referred to is everybody is operating in a silo, right? And that’s mostly because that’s the way the internet is architected, right?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So the internet is architected, so it’s distributed, right? Registrars and registries basically do their own thing with domain names. They might have a small hosting component or maybe a cloud component, but by and large, all they do is domain names.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hosting providers probably resell domain names, but they’re not part of that industry. And so how do they all coordinate? And that’s what the IIF is trying to facilitate, is more information sharing among the participants.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:09:39] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Well I imagine some of the hosting companies are probably fairly good. You know, they’ve got a giant customer base. Let’s imagine hosting company X over there, they’ve got millions of customers. They’ve got a huge budget that they can put over to, let’s say, security things. Well that’s all well and good, brilliant. But then there are other companies who are much scrappier. You know, they maybe have only a few thousand customers. And so their budget for the exact same work is going to be reduced.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">How will this work? Is it going to be like a subscription service basically? Will you have a membership, which is in some way equal to the number of clients that you’ve got? Will there be some expectation that, okay, we’ll look at your revenue, your membership will be equivalent to a percentage of your revenue? How will that all work?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:10:20] <strong>David Snead:</strong> We don’t know. This is a very early stage project. Right now we are in a prototype phase where we have just figured out what information folks should submit to the secretariat.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So the way it works is, you submit the information that you collect for a particular abuse issue to the secretariat, who then enriches it with all the other information that’s been submitted and sends it to the right person.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So a great example is, let’s say a registrar reported a phishing domain. They turn off the phishing domain and they have maybe a timestamp, an IP address where it was submitted from. They submit that to the secretariat, who then finds the hosting company who is providing the services for the hosting and says, this came in about this particular site. Can you take action on that? So that’s the way it works.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Right now it’s very early stage. It’s in the first phase of a test, and we’re going to look at whether the way we’ve architected it, or the way the group has architected it, actually makes sense.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:11:39] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Is this going to be then a sort of slow on ramp whereby you bring a few companies in at the beginning, hopefully. And then one or two more and iron out the wrinkles, and then some more and some more? Because I imagine, if you just threw the switch, everybody’s in, a lot could go wrong at that point. And I’m guessing there’s going to be more of a slow on ramp.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:12:00] <strong>David Snead:</strong> So you’ve pointed out my particular frustration with the IIF, and the reason that the secretariat is moving slowly, right? So fortunately, or unfortunately, based on my cultural background, I’m just sitting here going, this needs to move faster. We need to have everybody involved, we need to have all the hosts involved, we need to have all the registrars and registries. And other folks who are a little bit more skilled in this type of work say, no, we need to figure out what we’re doing and that requires a small number of people.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The phase that we’re in right now is looking for more folks who are interested in sitting at the table and being part of the discussion. Particularly in the hosting industry and in the web design and marketing industry. Those are folks who don’t generally participate in these kind of industry led collaboration exercises. And that’s the reason that I’m at WordCamp, is to talk to web designers, marketing agencies about why they should participate in something like this.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:13:13] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So this really isn’t bound in any way to WordPress, is it? It just so happens that WordPress has a significant chunk of the internet, so this is a good place to start. But if you happen to be a, I don’t know, Drupal user, or you’re just into writing PHP code or whatever it may be, this is still applicable. There’s no real WordPress layer to this. This is just a good place for you to come because, well, there’s probably, what, 30 hosts, 100 yards away from us out there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:13:37] <strong>David Snead:</strong> I know. And I haven’t seen all of them yet.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:13:39] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, there’s work to do. But agnostic to any platform, basically.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:13:42] <strong>David Snead:</strong> It is completely platform agnostic, yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:13:43] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Okay. Okay, that’s interesting. But WordPress is a, is certainly a good place to start.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, I’m imagining, if I was a hosting company and I was the chief executive, I definitely have some questions for you in terms of, okay, we’re going to share our valuable intel with you, what are you going to do with that? How can we trust you? How do we know that the sharing is going to be done effectively and what have you?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So I guess really what I’m getting to is, what is the assurances or checks and balances that you, in the end, will hope to offer the host? That you can assure them that, look, if you hand us this body of work, you don’t need to think about it again. You can trust us to do it honourably, effectively, collaboratively. You get where going.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:14:26] <strong>David Snead:</strong> Yeah, yeah. And I suspect that you wanted to be a lawyer at some time, because that’s one of the issues that we’re facing. Information that can be shared freely, as an example, in the United States, might not be capable of being shared so freely in the European Union, or in Brazil, or in India or someplace like that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So one of the things that’s being done, not by me, but by another group, another working group that’s part of this, is analysing the legal issues around information sharing.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The information that’s being shared, to answer the proprietary and confidentiality question, is not proprietary or confidential information. So it’s things like timestamps, domain names, IP addresses for the initial abuse submission. Things like that that really don’t indicate some sort of company confidential information. And it’s further abstracted into xarf, which is a language that’s used for abuse reporting, that we all can share. And so I think that the only thing that would be of concern is whether that information is personal information that’s subject to jurisdictional restrictions around the world.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:15:48] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Would the idea be that this organisation would do the remedial work? So is there any notion that, let’s say for example, some sort of security problem was discovered by hosting company A over there, and they share that intel with you. Maybe the question is kind of asking, will you then appoint people to figure out what the patch is for that? Or is your idea just to, oh, red flag, we’ve got this problem, now you all know about it. Is it just information sharing as opposed to fixes?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:16:17] <strong>David Snead:</strong> Yeah, it’s the latter. So the thing that we’re solving for right now, so there’s just one issue that, one abuse issue, that we’re testing out and it’s issues related to fake shops. And so the fake shop issue is the test abuse issue for the project, and where folks are sharing information. It’s a particular problem right now with credentials harvesting. And so that’s what we’re trying to look at.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:16:43] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> And how has the conversations that you&V�x�\�chv� K \5&
� ?� L#8217;ve had thus far, how have they gone? Has this been warmly received or are you facing a little bit of pushback?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:16:50] <strong>David Snead:</strong> So, look, I’ll be very direct with you. If something isn’t just an immediate threat to them, it’s very difficult to conceptualise why you should participate. And I am pretty used to answering that question simply based on the political work that I do with the i2Coalition. But once you talk about, so let’s use fake shops as an example. Fake shops, and you’re providing services to fake shops, actually has an impact on your bottom line.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So if you are providing, let’s say, payment processing to an entity that is running a fake shop, it very easily can make your credit card processing charges higher. It ends up eating bandwidth. It will tax your abuse resources.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the things that you referred to initially is, you know, larger hosts have a lot of money. I wouldn’t say they have a lot of money, but they have more bandwidth to handle a vast fire hose of abuse issues. Most smaller hosting companies might only get five or six abuse issues in a month. But if you have a fake shop, that’s going to generate a huge amount of abuse, and it’s taking away resources that you can use to actually grow your business. So that argument actually is relatively persuasive in getting folks to pay attention.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I find that the business argument around abuse is a much more compelling discussion than kind of moral persuasion. I don’t think moral persuasion works in the context of a community that is trying very hard just to keep their heads above water.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:18:42] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> It feels to me from what you’ve just said, and I could be reading too much between the lines, but it feels to me as if a good target audience would be smaller hosts to begin with, simply because they’re probably going to be more receptive because they have less bandwidth themselves. And so would welcome anything that can make the burden of sharing this information easier. So 10 of the small hosts combined is, well, it’s much bigger than each of them individually would be, whereas I suppose you’ll have to get a critical mass of them on board until maybe some of the bigger hosts start to look at you with favourable eyes, let’s say that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:19:15] <strong>David Snead:</strong> Well, so we have some pretty large hosting companies who are participating. So as an example, both GoDaddy and Newfold are participating. But we also have smaller hosts. But I agree with you, the information that’s being provided, particularly since it is actionable, realistic information that can be adapted for bespoke systems, is invaluable, right?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So if you only get five or six abuse complaints and you get an abuse complaint, and you can go to the secretariat and say, we got a complaint about this domain, and the secretariat says, here’s what the registrar did. Here’s what Cloudflare did. Here’s the information they provided us. And you can use that to make a decision on how to address that problem. It saved you hours and hours and hours of research time.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:20:09] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Technically speaking, what would the conduit of information both toward you and away from you look like? So if I’m hosting company X, how are you imagining that I will supply you with that information? But also, if I’m just looking for information from you on a daily, weekly basis, whatever it may be, how do I receive that? Is this like a, I don’t know, a website or an API or?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:20:33] <strong>David Snead:</strong> It’s an API. So it’s a file. It’s just a general file download.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:20:37] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Right, okay. So it’s readily available 24/7?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:20:40] <strong>David Snead:</strong> Right. That’s the goal. Right now it’s not, but the goal is to kind of figure out a way to make something like that possible.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:20:47] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, okay. I also suppose that the hosting companies, whilst this is good for their business if they can minimise costs and hand a lot of this work over to you, there’s a part of them which would also probably like to put some sort of badge on their website to say, this is what we’re doing. We’re part of this alliance, for want of a better word. Is that something that you are looking to develop as well, you know, some sort of credentialing system to demonstrate that you’re in this?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:21:12] <strong>David Snead:</strong> So that’s not something that the IIF is working on. It’s something that the Secure Hosting Alliance does. The Secure Hosting Alliance has a trust seal that we give to hosts who fulfil our Trust Seal Certification provisions. But that’s not something that the IIF does.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Talking about like why, other than business reasons, folks should participate in this, one of the things that is going on that I would suggest that most hosts know about, is there’s a little bit of a moral panic going on in the world about what contents you have. And regulation is actually a very real thing for the hosting industry, who has not ever been regulated. This is the time where you can say, hey, this is what we’re doing, right? We’re dealing with issues. This way a trust seal is the same thing, right? It’s something that you can say, we are actually taking steps to make the internet a better place.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:22:18] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I think if you are a general agency owner or, I don’t know, just a freelancer, hosting is one of those things that you, once you’ve done it once, you’re in it for the long haul until something goes wrong. But you’re also browsing around for any tiny indication of why is this host slightly different? You know, what is it that they’re doing that, I don’t know, is faster? What is it that they’re doing that’s more secure? So it feels to me if you had a credentialing system and I began to hear about it and see it pop up again and again, it would be one of the metrics which I would weigh up when looking at hosting.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:22:51] <strong>David Snead:</strong> I would think so. One of the things that a trust seal does is it indicates that there’s been some vetting of the host. That someone has determined the things that are important to the hosting industry and are important to the web design industry. The agency industry are also important to the host.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Great example of that is one of the provisions of the Secure Hosting Alliances’ Trust Seal Certification is that a contract is presented to the customer before they sign up, which is super customer friendly.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the things as a lawyer that you hear about all the time when people are dissatisfied with their services is, yeah, well, I never saw that contract. Or it was just a hyperlink in an email that I got. That’s one of the differentiators for a Trust Seal certified host is that the contract is actually presented to them, to the customer beforehand.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:23:57] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So in terms of the WordPress crowd, is this a thing that you are pitching only to hosts? Like when you step out of here, are you trying to have conversations only with hosts? Or is there some bit of the WordPress community, the freelance, the agency owners? Are you trying to communicate with them just to scope out what they need?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:24:15] <strong>David Snead:</strong> So for both the Secure Hosting Alliance and for the IIF, it is that. I really enjoy talking to agencies and developers about whether this is important to them, or why it might be important to them.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:24:31] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> In terms of how long this project’s been going, I’ve only heard of it because of your participation here, but I don’t know if you’ve been banging this gong for a decade or, I mean you’ve been in the industry for long enough to have been banging it for decades. Is this a new initiative or is this something which has a long and storied history?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:24:49] <strong>David Snead:</strong> So the Secure Hosting Alliance has only been active for a year, a little bit over a year. I’ve been talking about abuse for a long time, but the Secure Hosting Alliance has only been around for a year.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:25:01] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> And have you, in that year, got any intuitions that you’ll be here for another year? Is it basically going in the right direction?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:25:09] <strong>David Snead:</strong> It is going in the right direction. So we started out with two or three charter members. We now have 25 hosting members. We have three security vendors who are members as well. We have, I think, 17 Trust Seal Certified members, and we’re launching in 2027 a trust seal for security vendors who provide services to hosting companies.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:25:40] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I know that several owners of hosting companies listen to this podcast. They may very well be the people that you’ve spoken to already, but if they are not, and they are people who would like to investigate this further, I suppose the thing that’s going to be in their head is, okay, Nathan and David, you’ve explained what I’ll get out of it, what do I need to put into it? So is this an annual financial commitment? How does it all work from that point of view?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:26:02] <strong>David Snead:</strong> Yeah, so you become a member of the i2Coalition. And so the Secure Hosting Alliance is a working group of the i2Coalition. So you would be a general member and you would participate in the Secure Hosting Alliances’ working groups. You also have the ability to participate in the i2Coalition as a whole, which is a much larger trade association that represents almost everyone in the internet infrastructure vertical. Mostly doing policy work, primarily in the US and the EU. Although there’s, we’re doing some work in India right now as well.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:26:40] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> And does membership allow you to steer the future of the project? I know that lots of chefs in the kitchen results in terrible food, but that, I fear, is something that could happen. You’ve got 87 members, 260 members. And then the 260 members all start to bicker and, you know, we want this, no. You see how it goes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:26:59] <strong>David Snead:</strong> I do.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:26:59] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> What’s the position there? You know, is there sort of gated levels of membership? How are you organising all of that?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:27:04] <strong>David Snead:</strong> There are not. The membership is based on self-reported revenue. The membership is not horrifically expensive from my perspective. And I think that that, most of our members would say that it is, it’s actually relatively affordable, particularly for the small to medium sized hosts. And registrars or design agencies, anyone who’s participating.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The question about, who’s running the show, comes up quite a bit. We haven’t really faced that issue, particularly in the Secure Hosting Alliance. Folks seem to get along. But the organisation runs on the idea of rough consensus. And so decisions end up not being controlled by one member or not. Some of the i2Coalition has some very large companies who everybody knows about, who get along with startups, and folks against whom they compete directly. And policies still get made. The organisation still moves forward.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:28:11] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, I guess you’re in a space where, obviously all of these hosting companies commercially are vying for everybody else’s business. But in this particular situation, that is not the case. Nobody’s vying for their websites to be less secure. They all want the same level of security. So at least in that sense, you would hope that consensus could be maintained even if, commercially, the two companies that are in the room, the 10 companies that are in the room might be commercially at loggerheads with each other. At least on this they could agree. That would be the hope, I suppose, anyway.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:28:47] <strong>David Snead:</strong> It seems to be, not only the hope, but the actual way that things work. You ask about how compromise is reached. What comes to mind is I have a much different concept of privacy than, particularly when I was at WebPros, than other folks in the i2Coalition had. And another company just called me up and we worked through our disagreements about how privacy should be handled within the i2Coalition and were able to move forward.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The industry I’ve found to be hugely collaborative, particularly the hosting industry. Everybody knows what their competitor is doing. But when it comes to addressing an issue like, how are we going to deal with abuse as a community? Folks come together. CEOs of hosting companies while they compete tend to be relatively good friends.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As I said at the very beginning, it really is like the Hotel California, right? You come in as a CEO of a hosting company, you grow it and you sell it to another company. All of a sudden you’re at the bottom again with a server in your grandma’s basement, you know, trying to start again.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:30:08] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> It’s a really curious effort. I suppose really at the bottom of this entire podcast is your endeavour to be heard and to reach out and get some conversations going. So with that in mind, where do people find the information about this? So maybe there’s a website that we could mention. But also, is there a specific place where you hang out? Is there a place where you would like to be contacted most?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:30:33] <strong>David Snead:</strong> Sure. So our website is hostingsecurity.net. I’m not too afraid of getting too much spam. So folks can email me at snead@i2coalition.com And the two is the numeral two. So it’s snead@i2coalition.com. And I’m happy to answer questions.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In terms of hanging out, I am at most industry conferences in the hosting industry. In the WordPress industry, I’ll be at WordCamp US. We also participate very heavily in ICANN. So there is an i2Coalition member at every single ICANN meeting.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:31:12] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So if you go to wptavern.com and you search for the episode with David Snead, S-N-E-A-D, you’ll be able to find those details. I’ll put everything into the show notes. So anything that I missed? Was there a particular focus that we didn’t touch?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:31:26] <strong>David Snead:</strong> No, this is actually one of thchv�\5&�\�� L \wO
� ?� Me most thorough podcasts I’ve been on recently.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:31:31] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> That’s love to hear it. Well, David Snead, thank you very much for joining me today.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:31:35] <strong>David Snead:</strong> Glad to be here. Thanks for having me.</p>
</div></details>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the podcast today we have David Snead.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">David has been involved in the hosting industry since 1999, starting out as legal counsel for one of the earliest shared hosting companies and going on to work with over 50 others. He helped found the i2Coalition, serve as in-house counsel for cPanel and WebPros, and now leads the Secure Hosting Alliance.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re listening to this podcast, I’m sure that many of you will have worked closely with hosting companies. Perhaps you run an agency or business that depends on the reliability, ethics, and security of hosting providers. David is here to talk about cross-industry collaboration in the hosting world, specifically around improving security, professionalism, and communication between hosts.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The conversation focused on why and how the Internet Infrastructure Forum (IIF) is building a framework for real-time intelligence sharing and abuse reporting, aiming to help the entire ecosystem detect and prevent attacks faster than adversaries can adapt.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">David talks about the challenges hosting companies face, especially smaller ones, in keeping up with security, and how this evolving project hopes to ease this by sharing actionable, non-proprietary abuse information across registrars, hosting providers, DNS services, and more. He discusses the growth of both the Secure Hosting Alliance and the IIF, the business case for collaboration, and the nuances of legal and technical information sharing across borders.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re in hosting, run a web agency, or just want to know how the backbone of the web is working to stay more secure and connected, this episode is for you.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Listen… the birds are already singing,” said Danylo — a Ukrainian I’d met at a previous WordCamp — as we were wrapping up the last hour of the WCEU afterparty in Krakow. “It’s time for us to go.” He started singing “Hei! Hei! Hei, sokoly! Omynaite hory, lisy, doly.” I started singing with him. The Polish guys next to us continued singing in Polish “Dzwoń, dzwoń, dzwoń dzwoneczku, Mój stepowy skowroneczku.” Some people behind us joined the choir. That was “Hey Sokoly” — a Ukrainian-Polish folk song — carrying us out of Bastion III, a 19th-century Austrian fortress on the edge of Krakow’s Old Town, as the night turned to morning.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-mykolaiv">Mykolaiv</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It all started in Mykolaiv, the city of shipbuilders and brides, where I spent my childhood. I graduated from two universities I had been attending simultaneously and started looking for a job during a gap year. I planned to find work to earn some money for further education while preparing for the entrance exams to one of the Finnish universities. Mykolaiv didn’t provide good opportunities for graduates unless you had very good connections, but I managed to find a job at an “IT” company. In 2011, the term “IT” didn’t mean much to me, but they required English, which was my major, so I thought — why not. The work wasn’t particularly difficult: I had to pretend to be “Bob” from the United States, helping customers who had purchased physical products by tracking their orders and walking them through setup instructions. I was fired after a month and a half. Maybe I underperformed, or maybe somebody just didn’t like me — either way, it’s water under the bridge.<br /><br />The first job I’d gotten entirely on my own, the first paycheck that proved I could be independent, and the first time being fired — all of it hit me at once. The last part was devastating, made worse by comments like “it was too good to be true,” “we told you they’d trick you,” and “look at so-and-so, doing such-and-such and earning properly.” It was hard to sit with feeling like a failure. But somewhere in that difficulty, I got tougher — and more determined to prove everyone wrong.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-templatemonster">TemplateMonster</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first job was a failure, but it gave me one clear answer: I needed to stay in IT. The next job was TemplateMonster.com — well known in certain circles. It was the complete opposite of what I’d experienced before. In 2012 they were selling templates for the most popular CMS platforms of the time: WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, and various e-commerce solutions. The onboarding alone took two months, which tells you something about how seriously they took their people — staff rarely left, and when they did, it was for personal reasons, not because they were pushed out.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><br />My job was to help customers with their templates: installation, editing, customization. Difficult, but genuinely interesting — I liked it. This was the first time I encountered WordPress. I worked six nights a week, and Sundays were the strangest — your day off, but your body had adjusted to night shifts and refused to cooperate. None of that bothered me much. Being able to build sites and make things look exactly right was addictive. I overworked, learned constantly, pestered developers with questions, all just to quench my thirst for knowledge. It ended quickly: I got accepted into three master’s programs in Finland, chose one, and left for Central Finland.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-helsinki">Helsinki</h2>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Studying in Finland was genuinely different from anything I’d known in Ukraine — in the best possible way. Once the mandatory courses were done, I started looking for work. It was harder than I expected: a year of passive searching, then six months of applying every day. Eventually, I landed at a Helsinki-based agency building WordPress websites — which is still what I do today. A friendly team, around ten people — I’m still close with many of them. We built sites of varying complexity during the day and spent evenings playing board games, swapping stories, and throwing the occasional party.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That’s also where I attended my first WordPress event: WordCamp Helsinki 2017, a two-day conference. It didn’t blow me away, but it opened something. When you work in a small agency, you live inside your own bubble — and then suddenly a whole other world appears. You see the other side of WordPress: the community, the people pushing it forward, the people wrestling with the same problems you are and finding creative ways through.<br /><br />That first local WordCamp was enough to make us want to go further. In 2019 the team went to Berlin for WCEU — my first trip abroad outside of the Finland-Ukraine route I knew well. We spent a few days exploring the city and attending the event. WordCamp Europe is a different scale entirely: thousands of attendees, hundreds of volunteers making it happen. Standing in that crowd, I knew I wanted to be part of it — not just as a visitor. And then corona happened.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-porto">Porto</h2>
<figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><a href="https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/3026/07/image1.webp"><img alt="Volodymyr leaning on a handrail with Krakow in the background." class="wp-image-8718" height="1024" src="https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/3026/07/image1-768x1024.webp" style="width: 400px;" width="768" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Me, standing on the roof the Super Bock Arena, where the WCEU 2022 took place. Photo by Oleksandr Misyats.</figcaption></figure>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WCEU 2020 and 2021 were online, and I felt they were missing the whole point — thousands of people in one place, feeding off each other’s energy. So when Porto was announced for 2022, I started packing. This time, I joined as a volunteer, to see WordCamp from the inside. It was the right call. It was also a difficult time for Ukrainians — the full-scale invasion was by then well into its second year, and everyone was finding their own way to cope. For me, this event became a source of strength. I connected with the Ukrainian community, had real conversations with speakers, and came away feeling like I’d experienced what WCEU is actually for.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><br />That trip also clarified something I’d been circling around for a while. I’ve always loved traveling, but there was a barrier that had nothing to do with visas or money — though those were factors too. It was a justification problem. Coming from a culture where time should be spent purposefully, traveling for its own sake felt hard to defend. A work conference, though? Completely justifiable. Nobody asks how much fun you had. I’ve been to Germany, Portugal, Italy, Switzerland, and Poland this way. Spain is next.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Attending WordCamps is one thing. Building a similar event is another.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-wp-suomi">WP Suomi</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In 2025 I became the lead organizer of <a href="https://wpsuomi.fi/">WP Suomi</a> — the first independent Finnish WordPress event, held in Helsinki. The months before October 10th were intensive in ways I hadn’t anticipated: budgets, logistics, gifts, merch, catering, venue coordination, a hundred small details that needed to be right simultaneously. I remember waking up at midnight worrying that I hadn’t ordered something in time and it wouldn’t arrive before the event. Most of the work that goes into an event like this is invisible to the people attending. They see the schedule, the food, the afterparty. They don’t see the half a year of pieces being polished before the puzzle comes together.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/3026/07/image5.webp"><img alt="Banner for WP Suomi" class="wp-image-8721" height="576" src="https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/3026/07/image5-1024x576.webp" width="1024" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">WP Suomi hall screen graphics. Graphics by Sergei Shchegrinets.</figcaption></figure>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the day of the event, there was nothing left to worry about. Whatever needed doing had been done — if something had been missed in the preparation, it would show up now and there would be little we could do about it. So why worry? The time for that was the preparation, not the day itself. The team — experienced, reliable, no hand-holding required — knew exactly what they were there for.<br /><br />Around 300 people attended WP Suomi. Forty filled out our feedback form afterward, giving an overall score of 4.47 out of 5. But the number mattered less than what people wrote: networking, atmosphere, meeting old friends and new ones, a community that welcomes everyone openly. Reading that, I recognized the same feeling I’d had at WordCamp Helsinki 2017 — something new, interesting, and full of possibility.<br /><br />Organizing WP Suomi gave me a clearer understanding of what goes into making these events happen. Having been a volunteer at WCEU and then a lead organizer at WP Suomi, I arrived in Krakow with a slightly different perspective — a better sense of what the people around me were going through. This year I’m back on the WP Suomi organizing team as speakers coordinator — a different role, another angle.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-krakow">Krakow</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordCamps have changed for me over the years — less about the sessions on stage, more about what happens between them. As an organizer, you miss most of the talks anyway, pulled in ten directions at once. But real life happens in the corridors, and at the parties in the evenings. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This matters especially for the Ukrainian community. The war has scattered us across Europe — different countries, different companies, different lives. WordCamp Europe has become one of the few places where we reassemble in person: to share what the year brought, to meet people we only knew online, to see the community still growing despite everything. Many couldn’t make it to Krakow, some would not be able to visit these events anymore. For those of us who could, the room carried extra weight. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That’s what Danylo and I were singing about at dawn outside Bastion III, even if neither of us said it out loud. I hope to do that someday in the afterparties in Helsinki and Kyiv — whenever that becomes possible again.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">«Послухай… пташки заспівали», — сказав Данило, українець, з яким я познайомився на попередньому WordCamp — ми якраз протеревенили останню годину afterparty WCEU у Кракові. «Значить нам теж час іти». І тут він від душі почав співати «Гей, гей, гей, соколи, оминайте гори, ліси, доли». Я підхопив пісню разом із ним. Поляки, що ішли поруч продовжили польською: «Dzwoń, dzwoń, dzwoń dzwoneczku, mój stepowy skowroneczku». Хтось позаду теж приєднався до хору. Це була «Гей, соколи» — українсько-польська народна пісня — під акомпанемент якої нас виносив натовп із Бастіону III, австрійської фортеці XIX століття на околиці краківського Старого міста, саме тоді, коли вже ніч переходила у ранок.<br /><br />Щоб пояснити, як я там опинився, доведеться повернутися до самого початку цієї історії.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-миколаїв">Миколаїв</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ця історія бере свій початок у Миколаєві – місті суднобудівельників і наречених, де я виріс. Здобув освіту у двох університетах, де навчався одночасно і почав шукати роботу під час року перерви перед продовженням навчання. Я планував знайти собі роботу, щоб заробити грошенят для продовження навчання, готуючись до вступу в один із фінських університетів. У Миколаєві було важко знайти якісь серйозні перспективи для випускника, хіба що в тебе є зв’язки, але я примудрився знайти роботу в “IT” компанії. У 2011 термін “АйТі” нічого мені не говорив, але там потрібна була англійська, яка була моїм основним предметом в університеті, тому я подумав, а чом би й ні? Робота не була важкою: треба було казати, що я “Боб” із США і допомагати клієнтам, які купували фізичні продукти, відслідковувати їх замовлення і давати інструкції, як використовувати оте, що вони поназамовляли. Мене звільнили через півтора місяці. Можливо, я щось не так робив, можливо, просто не вдався обличчям — у будь-якому випадку, що було, то загуло. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><br />На цю роботу я влаштувався самостійно, без будь-якої підтримки, перша заробітна плата була символом моєї незалежності, і перше звільнення — це був бурхливий вир емоцій. Але остання частина просто вибила землю з-під моїх ніг, гірше тільки зробили коментарі на кшталт: “це було занадто добре, щоб бути правдою”, “та ми тобі казали, що там надурять”, і “подивись на нього — він робить те та й се, ще й добре заробляє”. Дуже важко було бути вдома і відчувати себе невдахою. Але це відчуття зробило набагато більше ніж будь-яка ефемерна підтримка — воно мене загартувало і пробудило палке бажання довести, що всі помилялися щодо мене.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-templatemonster-0">TemplateMonster</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Хоч перша робота виявилась провалом, вона дала мені чітке розуміння, що треба продовжувати шукати роботу в IT. Наступну роботу я знайшов у TemplateMonster.com — добре відому у певних колах. Вона була повною протилежністю моєму минулому досвіду. У 2012 році вони продавали шаблони для більшості популярних CMS-ок того часу: WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, і для різних рішень електронної комерції. Лише ознайомлення з роботою і навчання зайняло два місяці, що промовисто свідчить про те, наскільки серйозно компанія сприймала своїх людей — майже ніколи не звільняли, а якщо люди й ішли з роботи, то з власних причин.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><br />Моїм завданням було допомагати клієнтам із шаблонами, які вони придбали: встановлення, налаштування, редагування. Було доволі складно, але дуже цікаво — мені подобалося. Тоді я вперше познайомився із WordPress. Я працював шість ночей на тиждень, а неділі були найважчими, бо тіло звикало до активності вночі і відмовлялося спати. Хоча такий графік мене не дуже турбував. Можливість створювати будь-які сайти і кастомізувати їх саме під себе — оце було до дідька захопливо. Я багато перепрацьовував, вивчав щось нове, заколупував розробників питаннями, щоб хоч трохи вгамувати жагу до знань. Але усе закінчилося несподівано швидко: я отримав три листи про зарахування на магістратуру у Фінляндії, вибрав один університет і поїхав до Центральної Фінляндії.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-гельсінкі">Гельсінкі</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Система навчання у Фінляндії побудована зовсім по-іншому — і, на мою думку, на краще. Коли я закінчив основні курси моєї спеціальності, я почав шукати роботу. Завдання було не з легких: рік я шукав пасивно, де-не-де подаючи заявки на роботу, і ще пів року я зайнявся цим активно, відгукуючись на декілька вакансій щодня. Зрештою, доля занесла мене у Гельсінське агентство, що розробляло сайти на WordPress — цим я займаюся і сьогодні. У нас була дуже дружня команда, приблизно з десяти людей, з більшістю з них я досі дружу. Ми будували сайти дуже різного рівня складності, удень, вечорами грали в настолки, ділились історіями зі свого життя і влаштовували грандіозні вечірки.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><a href="https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/image3.webp"><img alt="" class="wp-image-8751" height="1024" src="https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/image3-1024x1024.webp" style="width: 400px;" width="1024" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Вранішній “Weekly” у booncon PIXELS, моєму першому агентстві у Гельсінкі. Фото зроблене Володимиром Мельниченко. </figcaption></figure>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">З цією командою я вперше відвідав подію WordPress: WordCamp Helsinki 2017 — дводенну конференцію. Я не був вражений наповал, але вона відкрила мої очі на дещо. Коли ти працюєш у маленькому агентстві, і живеш у своїй бульбашці, а тут неочікувано відкривається цілий всесвіт. Ти бачиш іншу сторону WordPress — спільноту, людей, які рухають увесь проект вперед, людей, які стикаються з тими самими проблемами, які знаходять творчі способи ці проблеми вирішити. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><br />Того першого місцевого WordCamp’у було достатньо, щоб нам захотілося рухатися далі. У 2019 році наша команда поїхала до Берліна на WordCamp Europe — це була моя перша закордонна поїздка за межі звичного для мене маршруту між Фінляндією та Україною. Ми провели кілька днів, досліджуючи місто й відвідуючи конференцію. Масштаб відчувався зовсім по-іншому: тисячі учасників і сотні волонтерів, які усе організовують. Стоячи серед цього натовпу, я зрозумів, що хочу бути частиною цього, і не просто як відвідувач.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">А потім почалася пандемія коронавірусу.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-порто">Порто</h2>
<figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><a href="https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/image1.webp"><img alt="" class="wp-image-8754" height="1024" src="https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/image1-768x1024.webp" style="width: 400px;" width="768" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Я, стою на даху Super Bock Arena, де проводився WCEU 2022. Фото зроблене Олександром Місяц</figcaption></figure>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordCamp Europe 2020 і 2021 років проходили онлайн, і мені здавалося, що вони втратили найголовніше — тисячі людей, зібраних в одному місці, які заряджають одне одного своєю енергією. Тож коли оголосили, що WCEU 2022 відбудеться в Порту, я почав збирати валізу. Цього разу я приєднався до команди волонтерів, щоб побачити WordCamp зсередини. І це було правильне рішення. Для українців це був непростий час — повномасштабне вторгнення вже тривало, і кожен шукав свій спосіб впоратися з новою реальністю. Для мене цей захід став джерелом сили. Я ближче позн"��\�/�u. N \�/
� %Q����айомився з українською спільнотою, жваво дискутував зі спікерами й повернувся з відчуттям, що нарешті зрозумів, нашо той WordCamp.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Та поїздка також допомогла мені усвідомити дещо, над чим я давно розмірковував. Я завжди любив подорожувати, але існував бар’єр, який не мав стосунку ні до віз, ні до грошей — хоча й вони теж відігравали свою роль. Проблема була в тому, як виправдати саму подорож. Я виріс у культурі, де час потрібно витрачати з користю, тому подорожувати просто заради подорожі здавалося чимось, що важко пояснити. А ось робоча конференція — зовсім інша справа. Це цілком виправдана причина. Ніхто не питає, скільки задоволення ти на ній отримав. Саме так я побував у Німеччині, Португалії, Італії, Швейцарії та Польщі. Наступна — Іспанія.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Відвідувати WordCamp — це одне. Створювати подібний захід — зовсім інше.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-wp-suomi-0">WP Suomi</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">У 2025 році я став головним організатором <a href="https://wpsuomi.fi/">WP Suomi</a> — першого незалежного фінського заходу, присвяченого WordPress, що відбувся в Гельсінкі. Місяці, які передували 10 жовтня, виявилися набагато напруженішими, ніж я очікував. Бюджет, логістика, подарунки, мерч, кейтеринг, координація локації — і сотні дрібниць, які мали зійтися в потрібний момент. Пам’ятаю, як прокидався посеред ночі з думкою, що не встиг замовити щось вчасно і воно не приїде до початку події. Більшість роботи, яка стоїть за такими заходами, залишається непомітною для учасників. Вони бачать програму, їжу, афтепаті. Але не бачать тих пів року, протягом яких окремі деталі поступово складаються в єдину картину.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/image5.webp"><img alt="" class="wp-image-8758" height="576" src="https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/image5-1024x576.webp" width="1024" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Графіка WP Suomi на великому екрані у холі місця проведення. Графіка створена Сергієм Шенгрінцем</figcaption></figure>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WP Suomi відвідали близько 300 людей. Після заходу сорок учасників заповнили форму зворотного зв’язку, оцінивши його в середньому на 4,47 із 5. Але для мене важливішою була не сама оцінка, а те, що люди писали: нетворкінг, атмосфера, зустрічі зі старими друзями й нові знайомства, спільнота, яка відкрито приймає кожного. Читаючи ці відгуки, я згадав себе і те саме відчуття, яке пережив на WordCamp Helsinki 2017, — це щось нове, захопливе й сповнене можливостей.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><br />Організація WP Suomi допомогла мені значно краще зрозуміти, що стоїть за проведенням таких заходів. Після досвіду волонтера на WCEU, а згодом і головного організатора WP Suomi, я приїхав до Кракова вже з іншим поглядом — набагато краще розуміючи, через що проходять люди, які працюють поруч. Цього року я знову в команді організаторів WP Suomi, але вже в ролі координатора спікерів. Інша відповідальність, інший погляд.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-краків">Краків</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">За ці роки WordCamp для мене змінився. Тепер він менше про доповіді на сцені й більше про те, що відбувається між ними. Як організатор, ти все одно пропускаєш більшість виступів, адже тебе одночасно тягнуть у десять різних боків. Але справжнє життя вирує в коридорах і на вечірках після завершення основних сесій.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Особливо важливо це для української спільноти. Війна розкидала нас по всій Європі — різні країни, різні компанії, різні життя. WordCamp Europe став одним із небагатьох місць, де ми можемо знову зустрітися наживо: поділитися тим, що приніс цей рік, побачитися з людьми, яких досі знали лише онлайн, і переконатися, що наша спільнота продовжує зростати попри все. Багато хто не зміг приїхати до Кракова, на жаль дехто вже ніколи не зможе побувати на цих заходах. Для тих із нас, кому це вдалося, ці зустрічі мають особливе значення.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Саме про це ми з Данилом співали на світанку біля Bastion III, хоча ніхто з нас не сказав цього вголос. Сподіваюся, колись мені ще доведеться робити це на афтепаті в Гельсінкі та Києві — щойно це знову стане можливим.</p>

� ?� \ary one, for the fractional CGO, is the teams. Product shops that are a team of people. A small team, medium sized team. They’ve built something, it’s successful, they are paying employees, but they’re looking for that next level up, in order to start growing into what they hope to be, more sustainable growth in the long term.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The other one is what I call the solo lab, where I am trying to position more towards solo individual founders who are by themselves and maybe just got their product out the door and are trying to grow from the ground up. That’s more of like a coaching environment and it’s a group environment and things like that. But both of them are, it’s not that there’s a, I don’t believe really in playbooks. I don’t believe in silver bullets. I believe in process and diligence.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And that’s what I am trying to bring in both of those circumstances is I help the solo folks understand the type of activities that they have to force themselves to do. The solo folks typically are very dev oriented. They know how to build more things. And if you ask them to write a blog post, they’re like, okay, I’ll do that tomorrow and tomorrow never comes. You know, helping them to focus on the work that they have to do to grow their product.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While the teams, it’s more generally about, they have founders who have done all the things. They have been the dev, they have been the HR lead, they have been the marketer, they have been the support guru. They’ve done all of it, and they’re just tired. And they need the growth but there’s just a missing gap. They need somebody to kind of put on the hat of, you are going to be responsible for finding growth in this team, so that that founder can focus more on other parts, the things that energise them more.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:24:59] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I’m curious as to whether or not, when you were doing the busy work of being at GiveWP and then StellarWP, whether you drew the intuitions that you are now going to be helping people with. Whether you were aware of this in your head, or it was just the busy work that you were doing. You know, day in, day out, you do this task and over the decade or more that you were doing it, you just kind of perfected it. And, okay, when this thing arises, I do this thing. And when this thing arises, I do this thing.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now I expect you’re in that curious position where you are having to lift yourself away from the whole process, stare back at it, and sort of examine how you would do it with a third party. Again, there’s no real question there, but I’m curious as to how different that is for you being the outsider, but relying on the insider knowledge that you must have acquired over time.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:25:49] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Yeah. I think that’s one of the reasons why I felt a certain amount of confidence in moving in this direction is because I’m helping people that are in the position I was in years ago. I’ve been there and I have done that, and I have absolutely failed. And I don’t have a perfect record or a perfect playbook, but I know what it’s like, and I have done the hard work to see successes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I think what also makes my experience a little bit unique is that I had the experience of GiveWP and I honestly, going into being acquired and working at Liquid Web, I had that whole feeling of like, what if I’m a one hit wonder? What if I like did a great job with Give, but I try to apply this anywhere else and it just is like, well you got lucky with Give, that doesn’t work anywhere else? And it turns out that most of the things that I learned can be applied to other products with success as well. It does give me a fair amount of confidence that I do believe I can be helpful with these other shops.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:26:50] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> You’re not sort of saying there’s a formula, you know, that kind of snake oil mentality. But there are wise things to do and less wise things to do. Let’s just put it that way. And by repeating the wise things over and over again, you give yourself kind of a fighting.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:27:05] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Yeah, and there’s a process and there’s also the ability to form smart priorities. That’s, I think, a lot of what I’m trying to help provide is being able to help founders learn how to say no to a lot of things. Because sometimes, especially when it comes to anything that’s growth oriented or marketing oriented, we see a million opportunities. And so then we start dabbling in all the things because we don’t know what else to do.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We’re like, oh, there’s like, I can go and jump into Reddit and find a whole bunch of leads, or I can like spend a bunch of time on LinkedIn, or I could write a whole bunch of really good emails, or I can maybe do a paid ad campaign. And then we start doing just like a million small things. But that doesn’t lead to growth, you know? So the ability to prioritise around growing rather than noise and activity.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:27:57] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I think it’s just really nice to be able to put down the scatter gun. You know, that thing that you’re firing tiny pellets in a million different directions. But you put the scatter gun down because somebody says, put the gun down because that’s not effective, and here’s why it’s not effective, and here’s some things that you could do to try which might be more effective.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There’s just something nice in listening to the words of wisdom coming out of somebody else’s mouth who’s obviously been there, done that. It’s kind of hard to put that into words, but just knowing that somebody’s got your back, and that somebody’s been through that before. And the million, gazillion little things that you are trying without a great deal of success are things that you can put away and listen to your advice.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I feel that you’ve hit a real vein of, well, let’s go fruit. You’ve got that in the title of your business. And the reason I say that, and I’ve said this in this podcast a few times before, it really does feel like there are an awful lot of people who have done the code side of things in our ecosystem. They are, as you’ve described, you know, you used the word nerd or something like that. They have built this thing with very little thought for the business side of it because WordPress, for many people, has been like this sort of hobby thing, this passive income thing, this side gig kind of thing. But they don’t know how to do it. And I get email, no doubt you get email, and certainly will be getting email, about this kind of thing. And so I feel that there is a real undercurrent of people who hopefully will tap into your service. Let’s hope so anyway.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:29:29] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Yeah, let’s hope so. So far, so good. I’ve already secured a couple folks.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:29:33] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> In which case, we’re sort of around the half an hour mark, which is exactly perfect. So I will just point the people to the domain once more. It is rootsandfruit.com. Go check that out. Where would we find you, apart from the contact us form, which no doubt exists on that website? Where might we find you elsewhere online, Matt?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:29:52] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> I have been on LinkedIn a lot. So look for Matt Cromwell on LinkedIn. You can also look for Roots & Fruit on LinkedIn. That’s kind of where I prefer, but I’m also on the nefarious x.com as learnwithmattc.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:30:06] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Well, good luck with the new adventure, Matt. I really hope it works out well and, yeah, speak to you soon.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:30:12] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Thanks.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the podcast today we have <a href="https://rootsandfruit.com">Matt Cromwell</a>.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Matt has been an influential figure in the WordPress ecosystem for many years. He co-founded GiveWP, led its growth, and continued his journey as part of the StellarWP leadership after it was acquired. Recently, Matt has shifted gears, launching something new. It’s called Roots and Fruit, and is an agency dedicated to helping WordPress product businesses thrive.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In recent years, WordPress has gone through a period of flux. There’s been shifting stats about WordPress’ market share, tightening budgets, and increasing competition from both within and outside the .org plugin repo. Despite these changes, Matt remains optimistic about the opportunities for product makers, especially as WordPress evolves alongside emerging technologies like AI.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Matt starts off by sharing his background, his experience with GiveWP, and the unique perspective he gained navigating growth, crisis, and the challenges facing plugin developers. We then talk about how the WordPress product space has matured, why building a plugin or theme and hoping users will simply discover it is no longer enough, and how focusing on the customer journey, branding, and marketing is more crucial than ever.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Matt is now positioning himself as a mentor and guide for solo founders and product teams, helping them prioritise growth efforts, refine their product experience, and avoid the scattered approach that many developers fall into. He brings practical insights from years of hands-on experience, and explains why a successful WordPress product business relies on process, diligence, and wise prioritisation, not just code and hope.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re building digital products in WordPress and want to learn how to make them stand out in a crowded, competitive ecosystem, this episode is for you.</p>

Birgit Pauli-Haack shares her recovery journey and emphasizes the value of Carolina Nymark’s expertise. Carolina Nymark introduces herself as a long-time WordPress core committer and theme bundle maintainer, explaining her role in triaging, testing, and updating default themes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They highlight key updates in the Gutenberg plugin and developer resources, such as enhanced plugin settings page creation, streamlined theme development using WordPress Playground and GitHub, and new tools for AI integration. The hosts dive into major Gutenberg enhancements: block visibility controls now let users tailor which blocks appear on various devices, custom CSS can be applied to individual blocks in posts, and image cropping has become more intuitive. Pattern editing is stabilized, improving content-only editing and preventing accidental layout changes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Notable new features include a dedicated fonts page in the appearance menu, improvements to navigation (like mobile overlays and submenu options), a responsive grid block, enhanced breadcrumbs and tabs blocks, and greater customization in the query and image blocks. They touch on the growing importance of collaborative tools—real-time editing and notes within WordPress—and mention plans for visual revision comparisons.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Throughout, Birgit Pauli-Haack and Carolina Nymark stress community involvement, feedback, and testing as crucial for these features’ success. The episode wraps up with encouragement to try the new capabilities, share feedback, and a reminder to balance tech work with life outside the screen.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Welcome to our 126th episode of the Gutenberg Changelog Podcast. In today’s episode, we will talk about Gutenberg releases 22.3, 22.4, and 22.5. And in certain parts also about WordPress 7.0. I’m your host, Birgit Pauli-Haack, curator at the Gutenberg Times and a full-time core contributor for the WordPress open source project sponsored by Automattic. Dear listeners, have you missed me? I missed you. My voice is still not entirely recovered from the surgery I had in December. Everything else turned out totally okay. But I’m really glad I have Carolina Nymark back on the show and on my side. We will go through these last 3 Gutenberg releases that were released since before the holidays. So let’s start with you, Carolina. Please tell our listeners briefly who you are and what you do. Glad you’re here. Thank you for coming.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Hi, thank you for inviting me again. It’s been a while. So my name is Carolina Nymark. I am from Sweden. I am a WordPress core committer and a bundled theme component maintainer. I previously worked at Yoast, but from mid-February, I’m now unemployed and I hope to come back to contributing to WordPress. And I’ve been away for almost a year, so I’m excited and looking forward to going back and seeing what you have been working on for the past year. Not only these 3 Gutenberg releases.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>Well, yeah, we missed you, Carolina. That’s for sure. Yeah. Your voice of reason and creativity was really missing at some point. Yeah. I know you also— what does it mean, a theme bundle maintainer? Maybe you can explain that to our listeners.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> It means that when someone finds a bug in the default themes like Twenty Twenty-Five or Twenty Twenty-One, we triage new reports. We help sort people who should go to the support forum and who can, you know, who should be actually opening a ticket in the ticket system. Then we help people who are creating a pull request for these bugs and we test the pull request and we eventually update the themes. And when we update the themes, there is a new release in the Theme directory.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Oh, okay. So even if you, if the default theme is Twenty Twenty-Five, which came out in December ’24, but that’s now in its version 1.4.5, 1.5 or something like that. So all the releases before that were done by Theme Bundle maintainers since the first release. Cool. I understand that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> But only, but yes, we do have a couple of component maintainers who are working actively on it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, yeah, it’s not all you. Nobody can really do it all by themselves in the WordPress Contributor teams.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Most of the updates are actually part of the major releases.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Oh, okay. So, and if people who don’t know you from before you had to stop contributing, you’re also the maintainer of a website called fullsitediting.com. Which has some great tutorials on theme building, on block themes, and also on getting started. There is a block theme starter kit there, yeah, where you can select, do you have one, a basic and advanced or full advanced kind of theme? And then on, on the press of a button, you can download a whole theme building kit, which I have found quite helpful learning everything. So Check it out, fullsitediting.com.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Thank you. Uh, yeah, I just found that the best way for me to learn was to really deep dive into, you know, if I found something difficult, the best way was to go back and, you know, read the code and test things and look at what other people have, you know, recorded YouTube videos about and, you know, actually sit down and write it in my own words. That’s how I learn. The best. That’s what I did. And I published those articles or lessons on the site.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, that was absolutely genius. And I think you started in 2020 with that during the pandemic. Yeah. So when the full site editing team was kind of getting started. Yeah. We also have some back then, some videos and you were on that. So we, we have quite some, you’ve been right at the forefront of all this cool stuff now.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark</em>: Yeah, it’s, it’s still strange that it was so long ago. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> But yeah, good things take its time. They have to take time. So I think it will be good to get started because we don’t have a whole lot of time, but we need to go through a whole lot of stuff.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What’s Released – WordPress 6.9.1</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So we start with WordPress 6.9.1 has been released and it’s a maintenance release with 49 bug fixes throughout core and the block editor. And then the release was led by Aaron Jorbin and Aki Hamano. And they have release posts. And if your site has automatic minor updates, you already have it, but you should definitely update now manually. I’ll share the release post in the show notes in the interest of time because they were all bug fixes. So you can do your deeper dive from there. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I also want to point out, because we cannot cover everything, point out some updates on the WordPress official developer blog. There were two What’s New for Developers posts published by Justin Tadlock, and the one from January as well as from February, and that gives you probably also what is not covered with Gutenberg plugin releases that might come into WordPress 7.0. So you can catch up there. And then there were 3 tutorials published on the developer blog in January and February. One was to use the data form to create plugin settings pages, which is pretty interesting because you use WordPress’s own component for the settings pages. You don’t have to make any, not a whole lot of design decisions. You definitely have to. You don’t have to maintain that code for the components because that’s done by the core developers. So you have a streamlined pathway to your plugins and that tutorial walks you through it. Yeah, there’s also one that’s called Streamlining Block Theme Development with WordPress Playground and GitHub. That kind of covers the problem space that most, a lot of designers want to design their theme in the site editor. Over the global styles and the patterns and all that. But how does that— and everything there is stored in the database. But then there is a theme. So how does all that new or changed modifications all go back to the file system is through Playground and GitHub and the Create Block Theme plugin. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So these three tools play together so you can as a designer just work in the site editor and then post a PR to GitHub for the developers to sign off on and get it all into version control, which is pretty much the whole— yeah, developers get really antsy when they don’t have control over code or over settings. So this is a good way to work together with developers on, on a theme development. And then the third one was about the abilities for AI agents when Justin— no, not Justin, Jonathan Bossinger introduces the WordPress MCP adapter that was published by the Core AI team and to see how that all works together. So those are good. It kind of covers the whole thing, range of developer things on the developer blog, of course. Any thoughts about that, Carolina?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah, I mean, especially the settings pages for me who doesn’t, you know, normally create plugins. I really like that because it just seems like such a huge time saver to not have to do it from scratch. I mean, the choice of the topics, it’s really great.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> And if you, Carolina, now on you, if y��� ����#� ] ���
� ?� ^ou have a topic that you want to talk about and you want to write about because you want to discover it, like you said, the full site editing, I have the right place for you. That’s the developer blog. That’s how I approach it as well. If I want to deep dive into a certain topic, I say, okay, I’m going to write about on the developer blog and then we’ll me through an example plugin or example theme or something and then walk through my steps and then publish it. So I’m inviting you to kind of think about things.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> I mean, there is a GitHub repository. I know that there is a list of suggested topics that someone needs to pick up and write about.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> We have a few topics that are not— that are approved by an editorial kind of group that haven’t been picked up by writers yet. So that’s definitely the first thing you can look at. But if it doesn’t fancy you, go ahead and just suggest your own topics. We will have the next meeting on the first Thursday of the month, every month. So get it in before that, and then you can start writing after the approval. And for the listeners, there is a subscribe button on the— or subscribe feature on the WordPress Developer Blog. So you will never miss another post again if you haven’t looked at any of those before. All right. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Gutenberg Releases</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I think we need to get started on the Gutenberg releases. So this time we’re going to do it a little bit differently because we have 22.3, 22.4, and 22.5 Releases to cover and with over 700 PRs over all three releases. All we can do today is pick and choose and summarize features. Most of them have been worked on for the upcoming WordPress 7.0 release, but there are also updates that lay the foundation for future WordPress releases or that might not get into 7.0. So whatever we say today that might go or that will go, we only know it next week for sure, because that’s when the WordPress 7.0 beta 1 comes out. And beta 1 is always— there have been exceptions though— feature freeze. And then 4 weeks later is the release candidate 1. That’s the string freeze. But between beta 1 and release candidate 1, there’s a whole 4 weeks where we work on bug fixes that come out of the release or from other places. So that’s when we know. And yeah, so I link in the show notes to all 3 release posts from the Gutenberg releases. And so you can follow up on the specifics. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So first, a few numbers. I said one number already, that’s 700 and over 700. The next one is 22.3 had 131 PRs among them, 23 enhancements, 36 bug fixes. 22.4 was a whopper. It had 406 PRs. So many because we skipped the schedule around the holidays. So there it’s a 4-week period and that’s what you get. You get 100 PRs per week and it includes 119 enhancements and 86 closed bugs and 22.5, which was released just last week with 153 PRs and 49 enhancements and 39 bug fixes. So yeah, you might appreciate that we are cutting down on going PR by PR. So, but let’s go on to some of the features. Are you ready, Carolina?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Well, yes, but I also just want to say thank you because I know that you have helped publish some of these releases, including the latest minor. You’re the one who’s been pushing the button so that the rest of us can download the updates in our, you know, through our WordPress installations. So thank you.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> You’re welcome. You’re welcome. It’s always fun to get through some of the releases. So I, yeah, I released 22.3 and 22.4. My coworker on the team, Juan Margorito, did the whopper, the 22.4, and in between we kind of looked again on the release documentation because we all kind of hit some blockers there where we needed help. And so yeah, it’s definitely something interesting to do once in a while. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I must say the automation of those releases is really well thought through. Yeah, so If you want to try it, if you have been a core contributor and on the Gutenberg release, on the Gutenberg and a member of the Gutenberg team, GitHub team, contact us if you want to get into release processes. All right. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Major Features</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So the major features, the first one is it’s random. There are a lot of good ones in there, but it’s not the first one. It’s not in the order of importance. So block visibility controls. In 6.9, we had the hide button. You can hide it or show it, but you couldn’t really say when and not when. It’s only yes or no, which was good when you do just draft sections or you have holiday things and you just want to switch it off. But now we have viewport-based visibility rules. Do you know more about it, Carolina?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> I’ve tried it. I also read a couple of the comments in their pull requests. Actually, I struggled a little bit with finding where it was, and then I remembered, yes, it’s actually in the list view. So when you open your post or page and you go to the list view, you have the visibility control, and then you have the additional options with the different viewports, and it’s a checkbox. So it’s super easy to use. And yes, of course, it works well on the front end. It’s hidden depending on the CSS class name on the block. But I’m really interested in knowing what’s next. Speculations, like when are we going to be able to change, you know, our custom viewport sizes? When do we, as, you know, site owners or developers, When can we decide? Very curious to find out that. But yeah, it’s very, very easy to use. It’s excellent if you need to do something quick.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, definitely. And kind of mobile is everything under 480 pixel width. Tablet is between 480 and 782. I don’t know where the 2 comes from. Can’t we do just round numbers? And then the desktop is everything the desktop view, viewport is everything above 782 pixels. It works, yeah, just out of the box. And the only thing I found is when you want to test it and you just do it by using the browser view, sometimes it doesn’t— the browser small one doesn’t get under 480. So, but yeah, I use it through the developer tools and then see it as well.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah. So speaking of doing something quickly, the next feature we chose was the custom CSS for individual blocks. So previously we’ve had, you know, you select your block and you can add a class name and then your CSS is elsewhere in a CSS file or maybe even in the customizer CSS setting. Who knows if you’re using it, you know. An old theme. But now you can actually add CSS directly in the editor when you’re selecting your block. And this CSS is of course only applied to that specific block. So if you have two groups, they will have diff— they will look differently because only one of them is gonna have this CSS. So the difference between the old setting, which was in the site editor, that was for every single block. That was for all the groups. All the paragraphs. And this setting is for the individual single block on that specific post or page.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. And there’s another, I don’t know if you had this. I really like this because now you have post and it’s not only for this block. It’s just the block in this post. Yeah. So it will, every post has a new set of blocks that need to be customized CSS. So if you do it twice, think about it, go back to the styles. To the blocks and put it in your global styles so you don’t— you remember, okay, it’s always going to look like that. But I think in the process of making decisions for your whole site, that’s a really good place to try something out, to see how it drives. And then once you know, okay, this is the right setting or this is the right way to do it, then you kind of take it out of there and put it into your global styles. There’s also a global styles custom CSS that’s actually hidden, but then you go to the styles three, three dot menu on top of the styles section. And there is the additional CSS that kind of covers the whole site.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: And then another place to do custom CSS is actually in the theme.json file. And that’s kind of the best way to get it out of the hands of users and cement it there so you can lock down some of the blocks. Some designers really want to have those guardrails. And I need to look for the dial to turn it off.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So, yeah, in theme JSON, you can have the CSS for the entire site. For example, if you need to change something on the body Or, and you also have the CSS for the individual block types, but never for a single block.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> So when everything is in the play, it’s going to be hard for designers to track down some CSS things that are not working right. I have no idea how to actually mitigate that problem. There’s one feature request to have for the individual blocks in the post that there is in the list view a little CSS kind of thing to know, okay, which block actually has custom CSS. So you don’t have to go through every block, through every paragraph block, for instance, if you have one kind of stands out, but we’ll see how that works.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So for example, if you add a very simple CSS for a text color to a paragraph block, and then you go to the color settings, the color settings, if you pick a color in the color picker, will actually override your CSS unless you start using CSS important. Then your CSS is going to override the color settings. So this is, this is, you know, that’s something that I looked at immediately and it seems like it’s been tested really thoroughly and everything seems to work as, you know, as it should. So I like that. Seems to be tested really well.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, so the next thing is image cropping tools. Well, we were able to crop images in the editor as well as in the media library, but it was very haphazard. It was kind of, it wasn’t very intuitive. And now you can, it’s much easier to do that. There’s a new package built that works in the media library as well as in the editor. And now you can crop either by certain aspect ratio, or you can actually have drag and drop that you know from other graphics programs, how to crop things. So you can really go in and pixel perfect crop it without having to figure out how to enlarge it so I can crop it. It’s kind of, that’s my brain always had a hard time with it. I have to zoom in so I can crop it. So now I can just say, okay, here, this is the rectangle that I wanted to crop to. You can also rotate it. And what was the other one?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark</em>: Yeah, the support for the rotation is supposed to be better. That’s what I read. If I understand correctly from a developer perspective, it’s now also a public package. So it’s much easier for you as a third-party developer, plugin developer, to actually use the new image copy package now than before. So that’s good. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Next we have stabilized pattern editing. So this is something that has been in Gutenberg for a long while, I believe. But now it’s stabilized in a way because we want to add it to 7.0. And as a user, I believe that the biggest change is that when you insert a pattern, it’s kind of locked. You will see, for example, if I was testing patterns from 2026, from the bundled themes anyway. And yeah, so the colors are locked when you start, but you can start typing in, for example, headings and paragraphs. I believe that’s the biggest difference for users. The risk of breaking something is lower. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> What I also found is that there’s a new kind of entity there. It’s called the section that kind of guardrails the pattern. So it can do just the content-only editing and people can kind of feel a little bit secure in there. It also helps with changing the design, if there are style variations for certain blocks, that they can do it, but they cannot break out of the pattern. Yeah, the original pattern was that as soon as it’s on the canvas, the blocks are all individual blocks. There is no reference back to the pattern itself. And I think that has been, has been mitigated, yeah, it kind of gapped that that is possible if it has the content-only kind of attributes. It now can be followed back to the original pattern, I think. But its editing has been quite complicated. So making it easier with these new attributes and features is probably a good way to go to have a little bit more, so content creators who are not technically kind of, they have a better trust on the patterns and they can’t break things easily.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> They have to try harder to break it, which is good.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Try harder. Yeah. That’s what we say to developers. Oh, it works. Oh, I wanted to break it. Try harder.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> The panels do look a little bit different than before. But I do believe it’s easier.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> And the sidebar also has an additional tab in there. That’s the content tab. We’ll see it for the image block as well. And we see it in the patterns or even the COVID blocks, all those container blocks here, column blocks, and they have a sidebar now with the content. So it’s a little bit duplicated from the list view, but it’s just block-oriented. So you know exactly what’s in the block or in the section that you kind of highlight there. There’s another one that will come that’s a list view for the— the list view on the right is a different list view than to the left. Terms, it’s hard naming things. So we name it all the same. On the right-hand side, there is a list view when you have actually lists in your canvas. And you see the items in there and you can manage that from there and don’t have to kind of fiddle around with the canvas there. I don’t know. I think it’s people kind of try to figure out or contributors try to figure out what’s the best way to do that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So I haven’t seen that, but it sounds kind of like the separate list view for the navigation block. You’re dragging the in, you see the inner blocks and you can move them and you can delete them and et cetera.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> That’s exactly right. Yeah. Yeah, it’s for all those that have components inside, like the buttons block has other buttons inside. Those social icons block has social icons in there and you get them in that list view, the same as the list has multiple list items. So it was also important for the other combination of blocks that are coming to WordPress 7.0. Or have already been the accordion block, the tabs block, the breadcrumbs block. They all need additional detailed interfaces.</p>
<p class="wp-�#� ����{� ^ ��
� ?� _block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah, they’re quite complicated compared to most other blocks, but they’re good additions.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Oh yeah, additions that we have been waiting for quite a bit. So the next thing on our list is the dedicated fonts page. So Block themes now have a dedicated fonts page in the appearance menu where you can go directly to managing your typography selection. And it moves from the controls and it was always hidden in the global styles under fonts controls. So who— nobody actually found it unless you deal with it on a day-to-day basis. You remember where to look. For those who are not working on block themes, the non-block support is planned. It will not make it into 7.0, but it’s definitely on the roadmap for the next following releases. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Navigation Improvements</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So navigation improvements. Oh, where they’re needed.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Well, I haven’t actually been able to test that. I tried, but I actually couldn’t figure out how to activate it. So maybe you can teach me.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> So the idea of the feature is that you now have choices to create mobile overlays for your mobile versions. That’s another way to a full responsive design. And that you have, you were always having overlays were all available, but you weren’t able to edit them. And the way they do it now is to create a theme parts, the theme part like you do header and footer and call it overlays and then push it into the design for the navigation. So there is now on the right-hand side a menu where you can say for the overlay and you can pick the various parts and there are patterns for that. So the team also created a few patterns, I think 8, that will come with 7.0. So you can kind of have a selection. You don’t have to come up with the overlays yourself, or at least get started. So there is a— with the accent color or black backgrounds. And so you can also say, okay, always show the navigation, the overlays. That means that the navigation, it’s always the hamburger menu and even on the desktop side and then comes with the overlay. There is also a sidebar preview of those overlay patterns and some, some controls there to add blocks like you do with a navigation block as well, because what you do is actually have a navigation, a second navigation on your site. So it definitely needs testing. There is a call for testing out by the team who built it. It’s under the Make Test Block. And I will add it to the show notes. That’s the best way to learn is to kind of heed a call for testing and see what it’s supposed to work. Because Dave Smith published that a couple of weeks ago. And he also added videos how it was supposed to work. And so you can really follow up on that if you want to kind of dive into that because you’re so keen to doing it. Like Carolina is. Yes, it’s always hard to test something if you don’t know how it’s supposed to work. So it’s like jumping into a pool, not able to swim. I mean, if you don’t— there’s quite.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> A few buttons to choose from. Do I click here? Do I go there? Do I go to edit or navigation? Or do I go to my header? Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> It’s not a lot of choices. Or you can do it through your header and then the navigation block. So like that, that’s definitely a good entrance to do. Yeah. All right. I have not yet experimented with additional patterns for that. But I wanna kind of go in there and make my own patterns.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark</em>: You have 8 new designs. That’s really nice. That’s a lot. Can you just, you know, imagine the amount of work that went into this?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Big part of it was by Maggie Cabrera. Yeah, when she came out of sabbatical, so she, that’s how she jumped in to kind of get working on that, I think. Yeah, but the mobile menu overlays are not the only new advanced navigation features. There’s also the improvements on the submenu handling. You can say, okay, that always needs to be open, and then you can better handling of the custom overlays as well. Also, the link picker is a little bit easier to manage. And there were in previous Gutenberg releases that will come to 7.0, there was also background. When it’s not 100%, it’s opacity, the opacity of the background for the site menu. So because it goes over the website, so it needs to have a different background. And you can select the color as well as the opacity of it. So is it shine through or not? And so that’s kind of interesting as well.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> I know so many users who have requested this, the feature to keep the submenu always open, especially if the menu is vertical, then you don’t always want to go there with your keyboard or hover over it to open it. So I think that one’s gonna be very well received.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. And it really helps with the left side navigation. That was, yeah, for the navigation block was really hard to do, but now with the submenus being always open and kind of you, you can organize them with the overlays and, or in a separate, yeah, it’s, it’s really nice to, to work with navigation that way.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>But. It’s always going to be complicated because there are some— oh, what they also fixed was that the links to pages are actually dynamic. So if you change the pages, the slug or the title, it kind of replicates it in the navigation menu. That was something that came over from the classic menus. And in the first iteration of the navigation block, that was not the case. That was all hardcoded and you had to, you had to kind of figure that out that if you change the page, you also needed to change all the navigation stuff. Yeah. So sometimes you think, oh, okay.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Well, we have to start with something.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Exactly.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Text Alignment Standardization</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Right. Yeah. So next we have text alignment standardizations. I don’t believe that there is anything visible for the editor or the user for this, but this was something that we needed to do to enable other options that are planned because it was inconsistent. So different blocks had different settings and they were, you know, the code was, they actually did kind of the same thing, but in the code they had different names. It was kind of confusing.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> True. Yeah. And some of the blocks didn’t have text-align because they also were referencing that from the parent block. But now they do. And I have to update. There is a roster for all the design kinds of things, features we published for 6.8 and 6.7. And I guess I need to update it now for 7.0. I haven’t found a very good automatic thing yet, but I might be talking to my AI about that. So we can publish it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Maybe that’s good use of it. But you also have until April, I suppose.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Right, right, right, right. I can do it manually. But I’m also working on the source of truth for the other content creators in the space.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So thank you.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Enhanced Block Features</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>Yeah, it’s a lot of stuff. To go through. Yeah. So it becomes— some blocks are just have been enhanced, and one is the COVID block now has a focal point picker for the fixed backgrounds. So if you have a background image, you can actually decide where’s the focal point of that. That’s good if you use a picture that it’s actually tall, but you use it in a horizontal cover block, you kind of— it crops it, but then you need to use the focal point picker to figure what’s actually in, in the block. The paragraph block got an enhancement of the text column support. So you could select that under typography that you can have a paragraph displayed in multiple columns automatically. And it kind of depending on the screen size, it kind of does the pattern, the columns there, which is really nice.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah, classic design elements. And now you might need to use, for example, the row or column block, and you can just use your paragraph.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, and it’s flexible, so you don’t have to decide what’s happening with responsiveness and all that. Because sometimes well, anyway, it’s always a little hazard.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> We have some image block improvements and we already mentioned the improvements to the focal point picker for the COVID block, for example. We also have aspect ratio controls for wide and full width blocks, image blocks, excuse me. Because before this you could actually get a little bit weird results if you choose one of the aspect ratios that’s supposed to be wide and your block wasn’t wide, depending on, you know, how big you actually want it. So that’s nice.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, I tested this and I think the headline is a little bit confusing because the image block per se doesn’t have wide or full alignment. It’s only the hero section or so, the COVID block, if you put an image in there and then you couldn’t decide how it actually uses the image. So now you can select the aspect ratio for the image in the COVID block when it’s full or wide width.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Interesting.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. And then the other, that is a little bit of an orphan in there, the reorganize content tab and inspector controls. That’s what we talked about earlier, that there are additional tabs in the sidebar of the block editor. That is actually for the image block as well, where you can see the image in a small thing and then can click on it and replace it. So there are a few controls that were before in the block toolbar are now also replicated in the sidebar and for a content tab. And that also includes the alt text. So you don’t have to hunt for the alt text. It’s just in the default open content tab. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Next one is the breadcrumbs block. Well, that breadcrumbs block comes into, will come for 7.0, and the team has been working on in the last, I think, 6 Gutenberg plugin releases. So in those last 3, there’s now theme.json block support for it, block schema support, and then also it applies now post type archive titles into the breadcrumbs. So, and you can decide how many breadcrumbs you wanna display in there. But it actually knows your categories and all that. So don’t forget to put in the primary category when you have more than one category so it can pick up, pick that up. And then there’s also a filter hook to override the final array. And so there are some, some good improvements there that roundup the breadcrumbs block for the WordPress 7.0 release. Actually, Yoast had in the SEO plugin had some nice breadcrumbs features in there. Yeah, but there were never, I don’t think there were block related. They were all in the classic theme paradigm. This breadcrumbs block you can put anywhere. You can put it on a post, you can put it on a page, you can put it in a template for archives, for authors, for anybody. And it will pick up in your header. Yeah. And if it doesn’t pick up as you think it would, file a bug report because that’s a living experience. And it’s just the— it’s the first version, but it’s actually for a first version really powerful.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So the next on the list is the tabs block has been restructured. I’m not familiar with this change, so maybe I should be quiet.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. Why? So yeah, there were from the original proposal, there were a few changes that after feedback from core contributors and users, there needed to be a few changes. So what it does is you have tabs on top or writers and you need to tackle those in an array. So it’s tabs 1, tabs 2, tabs 3, like, or product details. Technical specs or whatever you think needs to be in a tabs block. So that’s the tabs menu items. And then you need to manage those because you can say, okay, you want to go left or right with one, you want to change the order. So there is a way to do that. And that’s one section. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The other one is the content panel, the panels for each one of those tabs. You have different panels and in those panels are actually content blocks, like a paragraph, a picture, and all that. So it’s probably a little complicated to style, but they’ve made some changes. So it’s a little bit easier to handle. It’s definitely worth testing out in the latest Gutenberg plugin release to see if that actually works for you and to have your feedback as well. Dear listeners, it’s important to get real-life use cases on it so it can be improved for 7.0.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> I mean, I would suspect that WooCommerce would be interested in this for their tabs. Absolutely. That would be like, you know, that’s my light bulb. So I haven’t looked who’s actually working on this. Maybe they are. Maybe that’s the team who’s been contributing feedback to it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>Well, it’s, yeah, I’m sure they have because, or also WordPress.com who also has business sites. But the developer who’s working on that was Seth Rubenstein, who is from Pew Research Institute, and he has done some amazing block development stuff for his own company. So he knows blocks in and out. So it was good to have a first version from him and then kind of modify it to fit into the core paradigm. So that was actually some great work from Seth in there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Oh, great.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> And then there were some grid layout enhancements. The grid block is now responsive when columns are set. Before, it was only responsive when it was on auto columns. So the system decided how the columns worked. And now you can actually set column widths and it still will be responsive. So that’s definitely an additional feature there. And it’s a little bit easier to edit in, just kind of move things around and remove the drag handles because it’s just clutter. You know, you can drag and drop from one section to the other of the content. And there’s also a height block support for the dimension, added in the dimensions. So you can also say, okay, I want to, this block needs to be kind of 25 and everything kind of wraps around it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> I really appreciate this change because I was stuck on always using auto. The other options were, you�{� �� _ ��G
� ?� ` know, basically unusable for what I wanted to do.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. Same here. Same here.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Set width. Yes, that’s really nice.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. So the query block gets just a little feature, but it’s definitely big from getting more customization, more flexibility into the block was that now you can exclude specific terms when you select a category or a tag. So you can say without this. Yeah, you can say multiple categories, but then you can say, oh, not this. Or say, okay, I want all the blocks. All the posts in my query loop, but not the site news or something like that. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah, exactly. Or categories.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> That’s really cool.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah. I’m always worried about the panel because, you know, we now have so many filters, but we are, I mean, it has to be easy for users. You have to make it as easy as possible, which means you’re entering either the, you know, the slug or the ID or the But then with all filters available, you know, visible, then it does get kind of wild. There’s a lot of features now in the interface.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Absolutely, absolutely, yeah. And then you install Ryan Welcher’s Advanced Query Block and you get even more because he has a whole other section about how to filter some of the queries.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah, it does feel a little bit like You’re taking what Ryan did and then just, you know, adding one thing at a time until we eventually begin to have something very, very similar. I mean, not exactly the same panels, but similar features.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>So yeah, I think when he finds time, he might update the Advanced Query block and take some of the filters out because they’re now in core, which is pattern for plugin developers that they say, okay, I did this for 8 years and now it’s actually in core and I can take it out. So yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah, except you still have to redo everything because, you know, different ways of using it, different names to have for everything.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, or people have used it for 8 years on their blog and now they have thousands of blogs in that. Yeah, don’t take it out. It just makes a migration path or something like that. That’s a whole different problem space here.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah, definitely.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. So as with the data views, there’s also a data form package or components there. And they also— it’s not going to be used yet for WordPress itself. But some of the site editor or WordPress core, but the site editor uses those components and you can also use them for your own plugins. So there’s an additional form field validator with minimum and max support. And then Form Blocks also switched to SVG icons instead of the Dashicons. So yeah, there are some smaller enhancements in those releases, but the team is working on the data views and the data form since last year in summer, I think for a whole year now to kind of get this all done for the whole WordPress ecosystem to use before it actually will also be used by core.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So yeah, so core in 7.0 is not going to use any of the new data forms for like posts or pages, but there is, I mean, again, we soon have better one, but the plan is to do at least a UI refresh so that the interface is actually going to be looking more like Gutenberg or block editor or site editor.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. Yeah. I’m not sure if it’s a UI refresh. I think it’s a CSS refresh.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Based on the component color scheme.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> As well as the width and this. Yeah. It’s not yet perfect and I’m not sure if it’s going to make it into 7.0. That’s true. But there is I can, I can link the track ticket into the show notes so people can kind of check up on that and also share opinions. Yeah, that’s in the stage where opinions matter and voices matter.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So it looks pretty nice.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> It looks nice.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Form field sizes changes and buttons.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. And it looks more like the site editor. So the mental model of, oh, this is the 15-year-old admin stuff. This is the new stuff kind of merges together. So it kind of bleeds into each other, which is nice because then you know you’re at the right side. We talked about Ryan Welcher before with his advanced query loop. He’s actually working on getting the icons block ready for 7.0. He has another week to merge the PR. And there is a big discussion that are the icons block really helpful if you can’t add custom icon collection? Or is it just with the Gutenberg icon collections? Is it still— it’s not as useful, but it’s still valuable to kind of put into core because the whole API to add additional custom icons collections might be for the next version.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So yeah, that’s, that’s how I feel as well. I mean, We cannot add custom icons now, but I can’t believe that the plan is that we will never be able to do it. But there is still that debate about, you know, users adding SVGs and are they safe or not. And that does not— doesn’t look like that’s going to be resolved, and you know, in our lifetime. But then again, I didn’t know AI was coming either this way, right? Maybe, maybe next year we’ll say something different. But, if we have developers adding what they would consider like icon sets, I, I mean, that has to be part of the, you know, the plan for the future, right?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Well, we’ll see what happens, what the powers that be will decide.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> But yeah, I’ve been watching the live streams where he’s been working on the, on the blog. So I guess we’ll see later this week if he’s going to—.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Well, next week now. I think he published another live stream yesterday, but I think that’s one of the decisions to make is for designers, the design leads or the Gutenberg leads to kind of say, yeah, we, we take it in 7.0 or we wait till we have API to update icons collections. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">List View and Navigation Improvements</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yeah, that the next one is what we already talked about, the ListView access for the button blocks, list blocks, social icons, and pattern editing. That’s in the sidebar. And then there will be some component overhauls. That’s for the primitives. This new UI component is actually for the admin redesign that has been in there. And it won’t come to WordPress 7.0, but it’s definitely interesting for people to try out if they want to. So the primitives are for the field, for the icon, for fieldset buttons, badges, select tooltips. So you have fixed components that you can use in your own apps. Editor performance has always been in the mind of the contributors. And there are a few— it’s all very technical, so I’m going to jump over that. That. But definitely the editor has been really fast on certain things. There’s also the data view has now density picker for styles and group headers and daytime formatting implementation. That’s very important, especially for localization. You get a total count in the footer. So the beta views have been really been involved now.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah, I really recommend that people do, plugin developers especially, go in and play around with it. I did with data forms and data views.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, they’re definitely stable. People always ask me kind of, are these data views stable? Well, they’re in active development, but Gutenberg is using them. So at some point they’re considered stable. Yeah. So they will still have additional features in there and additional attributes and variables, but the storyboard of those is really helpful in figuring out what’s all in there. The next thing is real-time collaboration, and I just found an update from yesterday from the project lead. It’s now ready to test in trunk of Gutenberg. They merged a sync provider that works on every WordPress installation. It’s via HTTP. And it even works on local Playground. I learned local Playground instances since the database is backed on local file system. But I’m not sure how collaboration would work because it’s my browser. So it probably, we need to kind of figure out how that should work. It probably is in Studio where you can have multiple people going to the same website, but the Playground browser. Probably doesn’t work. You don’t have to look for it to disable it. It’s disabled by default. And you can enable it through the settings, the writing settings. And it just has a button, a checkbox there, enable real-time collaboration. And then you can test it. You either use 20— no, it’s not yet in the latest Gutenberg release, though you can use the Gutenberg Nightly from the Gutenberg Times. You’ll find it in there. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the release candidate 20.6 that’s going to be run next week, just before WordPress beta. And then we see how that is. Real-time collaboration is really something that single bloggers won’t use. But if you have an editorial team of maybe 2 or 3, you definitely want to use it because it eliminates one step on your content creation, and that is the Google Docs collaboration, then the copy paste into WordPress from Google Docs.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark</em>: And maybe I’m guessing no more of that. Would you like to take over this post? Well, you know, someone is already editing, etc. We can now, you know, back together. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. People can work on the images and other people can proofread it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> I mean, I’m thinking it works really nice together with the new— what do you even call it in Webflow now? The new notes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Notes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Little notes that you can add about, hey, excuse me, user B, can you please add this tomorrow? And then, yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Right. What also happens with the notes is that there are a few more features in there now. And one of them is that you can now highlight partial paragraphs. At least that was planned. I haven’t tested it yet and I haven’t seen it on change logs. So I need to go back. Maybe I just overlooked it, which is highly possible and probable even. And I definitely gonna surface something for the source of truth for that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Of course, I’m thinking I can actually write my whole novel in WordPress and then just let my editor just log in and hey, you need to fix this.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, right, right, right.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Using the wrong tense in your text. Okay. Yeah. All right. Nice.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Nice. Yeah. Yeah. I really like it. Yeah. It’s an end. I hope we’re gonna get real soon, get it into the developer blog as well, because that’s where I kind of do my editing stuff. Yeah. So I, we have a few writers and always something new and Yeah, we need to kind of have that. And right now we are really doing everything in Google Docs and we need a first review and a second review and we’re all kind of in there. But when it goes into the website, so I want to start to actually compose in the developer blog and not go through the Google Docs section. And it would be so much easier to do this together because we have a few doing reviews. Yeah, and if you’re doing it all on the same page, that would be really cool.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> And I mean, I kind of like the revisions that are in WordPress when multiple people are editing, you know, compared to Google Docs.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There’s a whole PR about handling the revisions rate in the collaborative editing things. Yeah, read through this and said that, well, that’s mind-boggling that people can think about how to do the complicated things. But speaking about revisions, it’s probably not going to go in 7.0, but Ella has made— Ella Van Dorp has made some real progress in making revisions being block— no things about blocks. So you can have the comparison next to each other and you see actually how it’s going to be, how it looks in blocks and not just the text and the coding that you see now, which is kind of— you have to squint a lot to find things.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> So I’m really looking forward to that. I don’t think it’s going to come to 7.0 because it’s only the foundation will come to 7.0, but the interface is not yet built out yet. So yeah, I think we are through the most important stuff. Have you seen anything that you over— that we overlooked and that you want to talk about?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> No, they’re just so— the amount of changes and improvements is huge for 3 releases.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> So yeah, yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So I’m really looking forward to testing the navigation overlay now that I understand a little bit better how it’s supposed to work.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So that’s, you know, it’s my weekend fun, I guess.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> So weekend fun. Yeah. Some people have some interesting fun stuff. Yeah, I read somebody’s blog about— so I’m always thinking about doing a good life balance at work. And the interesting question is, if technology is your hobby, how do you get that? Yeah, because you definitely need to have a break from your screens and all that. So I’m kind of working on that because I need to get it out of my head that I want to— oh, I need to ��GR�� ` ��o
� ?� a test this and I need to do this, and then I’m sitting and now. Yeah, it is. Yeah, but it’s also fun to go outside and go into a museum, meet friends.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark: </em>Yeah, well, I have a screen in my pocket if I go outside.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, that’s true. You can read anywhere. And I actually, if you have never tried to do editing of a blog post on your mobile phone, do it now. The mobile app actually works. So that was kind of my fun yesterday when I was off the screen and I found out I wanted to add another link to my blog post and kind of was able to do it. I said, oh, this is cool because I get my ideas out of that. </p>

Personally, I probably would have accepted the original PR. But it also raises interesting questions, <a href="https://www.copyright.gov/newsnet/2025/1060.html">since AI-created stuff can’t be copyrighted</a>, can the contributor license it as MIT/GPL or whatever the license of the project was?

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="0-word-press-release-information">Developing Gutenberg and WordPress</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a reminder, <strong>WordPress 7.0 Beta 1</strong> is scheduled for February 19th and is considered <em>Feature Freeze</em> during <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/7-0/">this release cycle</a>. Only bug fixes will make it into WordPress 7.0 after that date, until March 19, 2026, Release candidate 1 will be released. Around that time, the Field Guide will be published and it also comes with a <em>String Freeze</em>, so the translators of the Polyglotts team can start their work in translateing WordPress 7.0 into many languages.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="0-p">Plugins, Themes, and Tools for #nocode site builders and owners</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Bud Kraus</strong> walks you through <a href="https://kinsta.com/blog/wordpress-blocks-telex/"><strong>building WordPress blocks with Telex</strong></a>, Automattic’s browser-based AI tool that generates block plugins from natural language prompts. You’ll see two real examples — a ChatGPT embed and an editor-only Social Draft block — highlighting both the speed of prototyping and the iterative refinement that vibe coding still demands. Telex handles scaffolding, building, and packaging without a local dev environment, though Kraus is clear that understanding block architecture remains essential once you move beyond experimentation.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And I just tested Telex again, and now it also can build block themes from a plain-english prompt. Try it out! </p>

Preferences persist via localStorage with cross-tab sync, and the block is fully accessible with keyboard navigation, ARIA labels, and reduced-motion support.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In her post <a href="https://humanmade.com/wordpress-for-enterprise/wordpress-from-cms-to-agentic-platform/"><strong>WordPress: From CMS to agentic platform</strong></a> Human Made’s <strong>Sarah Jones</strong> explains that WordPress is changing from a content management system to a more active platform. This change involves new tools like the Abilities API, which helps plugins function better, and MCP, which allows AI agents to use real site data. The important takeaway for businesses is that these agents have the same permissions as human users, maintaining control while benefiting from WordPress’s large network of 60,000 plugins, which offers advantages that closed systems can’t provide.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I revamped my workflow writing tutorials for the Developer Blog and shared some details on my personal blog: <strong><a href="https://icodeforapurpose.com/my-local-tutorial-writing-flow/">my local tutorial creation flow with Claude Code</a>.</strong> I walk you through how I build example plugins, draft developer blog posts in block notation, and publish directly to a local WordPress Studio site — all from the terminal. The setup relies on the WordPress MCP Adapter and a custom Content Abilities plugin to give Claude content access locally. The workflow saves me quite a bit of context switching.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to <strong>James LePage, </strong> WordPress.com launched the first hosted <a href="https://wordpress.com/blog/2026/02/05/claude-connector/"><strong>Claude Connector for WordPress</strong></a>, building on their earlier MCP access and OAuth 2.1 support. You can connect Claude to your site in a few clicks through the connectors directory, choose which tools to expose, and get site-specific answers grounded in your real data. Claude receives read-only access, so nothing on your site changes, and you can revoke the connection at any time.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In <a href="https://regionallyfamous.com/nobody-rips-out-the-plumbing/"><strong>Nobody Rips Out the Plumbing</strong></a>, <strong>Nick Hamze</strong> makes a spirited case that AI isn’t replacing WordPress — it’s enhancing it. Drawing on WordPress’s history of absorbing every supposed threat from mobile to JAMstack, the post argues that AI excels at generating the visible layer but still needs WordPress as the content management backbone underneath. With the Abilities API, MCP Adapter, and tools like Telex already shipping, the real question for your community isn’t the technology — it’s staying open and welcoming. It’s a great article to bookmark and share with people doubting WordPress. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Rich Tabor</strong> argues that <a href="https://richtabor.com/api-ui"><strong>the API is becoming the new UI</strong></a> as AI agents emerge as the fastest-growing users of your products. Agents don’t need buttons or drag-and-drop chrome — they need clean schemas, structured data, and predictable endpoints. The visual editor shifts to a review-and-refine layer where you steer what the agent built. For WordPress, the block model already provides the stable foundation agents can write to, making what happens beneath the interface the most important design work ahead.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this live stream session, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/0o73vD9AYz0"><strong>Road to WordPress 7.0: Upcoming Features for AI Integration</strong></a> <strong>JuanMa Garrido</strong> walks you through the major AI features heading to WordPress 7.0, focusing on the WP AI client and core abilities. He explains how the WP AI client — currently available as a Composer package — provides a foundation layer managing credentials, caching, and HTTP transport for connecting to external models like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. Through a working demo, he shows you how WordPress can both consume AI models and, via the Abilities API, become a tool that agents interact with. He then dives into the core abilities proposal, defining built-in capabilities like create_post, get_post, find_posts, and update_post.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Think back to February 2020.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you were paying close attention, you might have noticed a few people talking about a virus spreading overseas. But most of us weren’t paying close attention. The stock market was doing great, your kids were in school, you were going to restaurants and shaking hands and planning trips. If someone told you they were stockpiling toilet paper you would have thought they’d been spending too much time on a weird corner of the internet. Then, over the course of about three weeks, the entire world changed. Your office closed, your kids came home, and life rearranged itself into something you wouldn’t have believed if you’d described it to yourself a month earlier.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="3-building-themes-for-fse-and-word-press">Building Blocks and Tools for the Block editor.</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Carolina Nymark</strong> published two companion lessons on her Full Site Editing resource site. The <strong><a href="https://fullsiteediting.com/lessons/block-bindings-api/">Block Bindings API guide</a> </strong>walks you through connecting dynamic data—post meta, custom sources, and more—to core blocks like paragraphs, images, and buttons, potentially saving you from building custom blocks altogether. In her <a href="https://fullsiteediting.com/lessons/block-hooks-api/"><strong>Block Hooks API lesson</strong></a>, she shows you how plugins can automatically insert blocks into templates and patterns using PHP filters, with practical examples including WooCommerce and context-aware placement.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the latest article on the WordPress Developer, I show you exactly <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/news/2026/02/how-to-add-custom-entries-to-the-editor-preview-dropdown/"><strong>How to add custom entries to the editor Preview dropdown</strong></a>. Using the <code>PluginPreviewMenuItem</code> component from <code>@wordpress/editor</code>, you can extend the Preview menu with your own options — the tutorial walks you through building a “Social Card Preview” to show how to add an entry and serve up a modal for content. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Paulo Carvajal</strong> dives deep into <a href="https://wp-block-editor.com/building-dynamic-lists-and-collections-with-data-wp-each/"><strong>Building Dynamic Lists and Collections with data-wp-each</strong></a> on WP Block Editor. The <code>data-wp-each</code> directive from the Interactivity API lets you build reactive lists — product catalogues, task lists, feeds — that update automatically when state changes, no manual DOM manipulation needed. You’ll learn how to coordinate PHP server-side rendering with JavaScript-derived state and implement advanced patterns like filtering, sorting, and pagination following WordPress best practices.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Ryan Welcher</strong> gave a talk at <em>WordCamp Sofia</em> titled <strong><a href="https://wordpress.tv/2026/02/14/from-static-to-dynamic-mastering-the-interactivity-api/">From Static to Dynamic: Mastering the Interactivity APIn the Interactivity API</a>.</strong> With the arrival of the <strong>I</strong>nteractivity API, WordPress offers a native, declarative way to add client-side behavior to blocks using directives like <code>data-wp-on–click</code>, <code>data-wp-bind</code>, and <code>data-wp-context</code>. Developers can define reactive behavior, state management, and side effects—all while staying in the WordPress stack. The talk’s recording just appeared on WordPressTV. It’s a well-rounded introduction to the Interactivity API with real-life examples.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Ray Morey</strong> reported on WordPress.com’s launches of a <a href="https://www.therepository.email/wordpress-com-launches-built-in-ai-assistant-that-works-in-editor-media-library-and-notes" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Built-In AI Assistant That Works in Editor, Media Library, and Notes</strong></a>. She notes that in the block editor, users can make plain-language requests — adjust layouts, swap color palettes, rewrite copy — and see changes render in real time. Notes users can tag “@ai” for fact-checks or edits, and the media library gets image generation and editing too. Morey adds that the feature, powered by <em>Google’s Nano Banana</em> models, is available on Business and Commerce plans.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>AI security audit wave incoming</strong>: Expect AI tools to flood WordPress core and the 70,000+ plugin ecosystem with both improvements and newly discovered security vulnerabilities, requiring infrastructure to triage at scale.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Avoid vibe-coding compliance surfaces</strong>: For payments, fraud, and regulated commerce flows, prioritize battle-tested WooCommerce and vetted extensions over bespoke AI-generated code.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Reposition plugins around durable differentiation</strong>: If AI collapses “nice-to-have” features (e.g., basic image manipulation), shift value to workflow ownership, integrations, compliance, performance, and support.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Agencies gain leverage, not obsolescence</strong>: AI tools give motivated technical people 10-100x capability increases, meaning agencies can serve existing clients far better rather than being replaced by DIY site builders.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Sell outcomes, not hours, as an agency</strong>: Client expectations will compress delivery timelines; adapt pricing to value-based packaging and use AI internally to raise throughput and QA coverage.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Design for agentic usability</strong>: Strengthen APIs, WP-CLI, and machine-friendly interfaces so personal agents can safely operate WordPress tasks without brittle UI automation.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>WordPress Playground enables AI verification</strong>: Spinning up fully containerized WordPress instances in 20-45 seconds inside browsers allows AI to test code across 20+ environments simultaneously, fundamentally changing plugin compatibility testing.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Benchmark AI outputs against WordPress-specific evals</strong>: Adopt WordPress block, plugin, and site-generation evaluations to catch “small file” failures (readme, headers, packaging) that break deployments.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Prioritize compatibility testing by real-world co-install patterns</strong>: Reduce factorial plugin-combination risk by sampling tests based on which plugins are commonly used together and automating those paths.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Plugin directory needs editorial curation</strong>: With submissions accelerating toward 100,000+ plugins, WordPress will introduce editorial spotlights on newer plugins with excellent code/design to balance discoverability with marketplace openness.</p>
<p B8%"8<ٱbTA i "8=
� ?� jclass="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Improve plugin discoverability without freezing innovation</strong>: Curate “trusted” and “high quality” signals while preserving pathways for new entrants to earn distribution through measurable excellence.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Plan for uneven economic diffusion</strong>: Even with today’s models, enterprise adoption lags consumer usage; build internal enablement and governance now so teams can scale impact as tooling matures.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Learning to learn beats domain expertise</strong>: When advising students/parents, the most future-proof skills are curiosity-driven learning, command of language, and study of classics/philosophy/ethics rather than specific technical domains.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>WordPress 7.0 promises AI integration</strong>: The upcoming release will feature “lots of fun AI stuff” and represents one of the most exciting technology years in Matt’s career since starting in the industry.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I had no idea that <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-code-security">today Anthropic would release their security thing that does exactly what I said</a>.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The best thing you’ll read about AI engineering today is <a href="https://www.modular.com/blog/the-claude-c-compiler-what-it-reveals-about-the-future-of-software">Chris Lattner’s take on Claude’s C compiler implementation</a>. To steal Techmeme’s headline: “Claude’s C Compiler shows AI elevates the role of human judgment and vision; it’s a milestone, but closely mirrors LLVM/GCC, and hard codes things to pass tests.” The entire post is important, but this paragraph is particuluarly profound:</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> As writing code is becoming easier, designing software becomes more important than ever. As custom software becomes cheaper to create, the real challenge becomes choosing the right problems and managing the resulting complexity. I also see big open questions about who is going to maintain all this software.</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To bring this back to WordPress: While I was in another meeting today, Claude Code with Opus 4.6 completed a cleanroom implementation of the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/">ACF plugin</a> in about 45 minutes. It was about to go off and implement all the pro features, but I stopped it because it would be a tremendous waste of tokens. The entire point of open source is collaborating on a shared goal rather than reinventing the wheel every time.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We’ve seen a slow version of this play out over the past decade, where every single web host that offers WordPress also spun up some sort of proprietary website or ecommerce builder. Bless their hearts. None has caused Shopify any lost nights of sleep. With countless person-years of development and who knows how many tens or hundreds of millions of dollars spent, I think we can now safely say that all of these efforts have had at most a marginal impact on their businesses, while the benefits of WordPress have continued to compound. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The thought experiment of whether <a href="https://wordpress.org/five-for-the-future/">those same resources had been used to make WordPress better</a> is left as an exercise for the reader.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What’s new in WordPress 7.0?</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress 7.0 boasts numerous upgrades in the editing and admin experience, delivering enhanced real time collaboration, refined customizability, new dashboard styles, and an expanded developer toolbox for people who create, design, and build with WordPress every day.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Working as a team just got easier with the ability for multiple users to edit together in real time, while visual revisions allow a visual comparison between page versions, adding agility to the creation and review process. Working with patterns has been simplified, making layout updates and content changes more intuitive, while view transitions smoothly move you from screen to screen as you click.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">New and improved blocks and design features in 7.0 make sites more customizable, with video embed backgrounds in the Cover block, a responsive-enabled Grid block, and new Icons, Breadcrumbs and Heading blocks. An updated Navigation block makes menu changes easier and more reliable in fewer steps. Responsive, mobile-friendly controls in 7.0 allow you to hide or reveal blocks based on screen size, while client-side media handling speeds up media processing. The Font Library screen for managing installed fonts is now enabled for all themes, so site editors are always able to browse, install, and organize fonts. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For developers, it’s now easier to build modern experiences while staying aligned with Core principles. The new WP AI Client in WordPress 7.0 brings a layer into Core that allows leveraging of AI models from any provider within the WordPress framework. This means plugins and themes can tap into any AI model to expound on its endless options. 7.0 offers even more versatility with the Client Side Abilities API that introduces a standardized way to register and run “abilities” in the browser, supporting richer, more consistent workflows. Additionally, 7.0 introduces PHP-only block registration with auto-generated inspector controls, adding a new dimension to block creation, while Block Bindings updates for pattern overrides expands support to custom dynamic blocks, giving block creators more options.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Needless to say, this release offers a wide range of flexibility to creators, teams and developers, while bringing a visual refresh to the admin experience you know and love with a fresh default style.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Work together in real time</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Building on the momentum started in WordPress 6.9, the ability for teams to create and edit together is more refined and robust in 7.0. With this version of WordPress multiple users can edit and collaborate on the same post or page in real time, with data syncing and stabilized notes for smoother teamwork and a more streamlined editing and review process.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Real Time Collaboration: Teams can now edit posts and pages together live from multiple locations, with offline editing and data syncing enabled, and a new default HTTP polling sync provider with options for plugins or hosts to include websocket support. With this collaborative content creation workflow, teams can brainstorm more effectively and boost productivity. For the beta period, real-time collaboration is opt-in in order to get broader feedback and testing.</li>
<li>Notes: 7.0 introduces real time syncing of notes that helps facilitate collaboration, a keyboard shortcut for new notes, and a series of quality-focused fixes that bring more stability to the Notes feature.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Refined Admin Experience</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress 7.0 gives the wp-admin experience a boost with a fresh default color scheme, and a cleaner, more modern looking dashboard, while keeping the interface familiar. The upgraded dashboard enhances the editing experience with new visual revision comparisons, and smooth transitioning between screens.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Visual Revisions: Working with revisions is even better in 7.0 with the added ability to make visual comparisons to revision versions within the editor.</li>
<li>View transitions: Cross-document view transitions in the dashboard offer visual continuity with seamless movement from screen to screen.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Customizing content with ease</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Creators have more flexibility in 7.0 with new tools for content and design, enhanced editing controls, and attention to mobile friendliness. </p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Responsive Editing Mode: Block visibility is now more responsive and mobile-friendly, with the ability for blocks to be displayed or hidden based on screen size. </li>
<li>Pattern Editing and contentOnly interactivity: WordPress 7.0 introduces pattern-level editing modes, a tree view for buttons and list blocks, and the ability to opt out of the default content only mode. The new Spotlight mode helps you isolate content in patterns and notes, while the Isolated Editor mode can be used for editing symbols and reusable pieces like synced patterns, template parts, or navigation. </li>
<li>Block supports and design tools: 7.0 includes text line indent support, text column support, aspect ratios for wide and full images, dimension width and height support, and dimension presets, tools and controls.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New blocks and design options at your fingertips</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">7.0 delivers a series of new and improved blocks and block features, a streamlined navigation workflow, and more versatile design options like video embeds as section backgrounds.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Navigation Block: Navigation workflow is now more intuitive and clear, with improved editing and presentation. 7.0 introduces customizable navigation overlays as template parts, including mobile version overlays that can be hidden or revealed based on custom breakpoint settings. </li>
<li>Heading Block: Heading levels are now available as block variations, giving more control over page hierarchy and design.</li>
<li>New blocks: 7.0 makes building pages more diverse with new Breadcrumbs and Icons blocks.</li>
<li>Cover block embedded videos: Video embeds can now be used as a background in the cover block, opening up opportunities for sleeker and more creative designs.</li>
<li>The Grid block is now responsive-enabled allowing grid-based layouts to adapt more smoothly across screen sizes.</li>
<li>Th�bTA"8=��� j "8=)
� ?� ke Gallery block now has lightbox support that lets the user click through and view each gallery image.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Developer’s toolbox</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Working with WordPress on the backend is now more robust for developers, with new and enhanced API features that support flexibility and lay a foundation for future advancements. The Client Side Abilities API provides a client-side registry for WordPress capabilities that allows you to tap into new and innovative website options. WordPress 7.0 offers even more by introducing the Web Client AI API to Core, enabling access to generative AI models in one central interface.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Web Client AI API: The new AI client and API acts as a command center for accessing and communicating with generative AI models, with providers remaining external to WordPress Core, and Abilities API integration.</li>
<li>Abilities and Workflows API: With the new client side abilities package users have access to new and hybrid abilities, filter and search functionality for abilities, and an improved command palette and UI.</li>
<li>Blocks and patterns created on the server: WordPress 7.0 boasts the ability for PHP-only blocks and patterns to be generated server-side and auto-registered with the Block API.</li>
<li>DataForm: Introducing a new details layout, new controls (combobox, adaptiveSelect), and updated trigger for panel layout (dedicated edit button). Additionally, the initial iteration for validation is complete: all controls have support, and all layouts display error messages.</li>
<li>DataViews: DataViews has a new activity layout, and a foundation has been laid to be able to register 3rd party types in future releases.</li>
<li>CodeMirror update: CodeMirror has been updated to version 5.65.40, aiding more flexible extensibility and library options.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Media processing in the browser</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress 7.0 introduces Client-side media processing, leveraging the browser’s capabilities to handle tasks, like image resizing and compression, for smoother image processing. This enables the use of more advanced image formats and compression techniques, and reduces demand on the web server; providing a more efficient media handling process for both new and existing content, and supporting smoother media workflows.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With so many options and enhancements in WordPress 7.0 Beta 1, this is still only the beginning. You can expect future releases to be even better.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:00:19] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Welcome to the Jukebox podcast from WP Tavern. My name is Nathan Wrigley.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jukebox is a podcast which is dedicated to all things WordPress. The people, the events, the plugins, the blocks, the themes, and in this case, redefining WordPress product growth in a crowded ecosystem.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’d like to subscribe to the podcast, you can do that by searching for WP Tavern in your podcast player of choice, or by going to wptavern.com/feed/podcast, and you can copy that URL into most podcast players.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you have a topic that you’d like us to feature on the podcast, I’m keen to hear from you and hopefully get you, or your idea, featured on the show. Head to wptavern.com/contact/jukebox, and use the form there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So on the podcast today we have Matt Cromwell. Matt has been an influential figure in the WordPress ecosystem for many years. He co-founded GiveWP, led its growth, and continued his journey as part of the StellarWP leadership after it was acquired.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Recently, Matt has shifted gears, launching something new. It’s called Roots and Fruit, and is an agency dedicated to helping WordPress product businesses thrive. In recent years, WordPress has gone through a period of flux. There’s been shifting stats about WordPress’s market share, tightening budgets, and increasing competition from both within and outside the.org plugin repo. Despite these changes, Matt remains optimistic about the opportunities for product makers, especially as WordPress evolves alongside emerging technologies like AI.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Matt starts off by sharing his background, his experience with GiveWP, and the unique perspective he gained navigating growth, crisis, and the challenges facing plugin developers. We then talk about how the WordPress product space has matured. Why building a plugin, or theme, and hoping users will simply discover it is no longer enough, and how focusing on the customer journey, branding, and marketing is more crucial than ever.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Matt is now positioning himself as a mentor and guide for solo founders and product teams, helping them prioritize growth efforts, refine their product experience, and avoid the scattered approach that many developers fall into. He brings practical insights from years of hand-on experience, and explains why a successful WordPress product business relies on process, diligence, and wise prioritization, not just code and hope.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you are building digital products in WordPress, and want to learn how to make them stand out in a crowded, competitive ecosystem, this episode is for you.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re interested in finding out more, you can find all of the links in the show notes by heading to wptavern.com/podcast, where you’ll find all the other episodes as well.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so without further delay, I bring you Matt Cromwell.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I am joined on the podcast by Matt Cromwell. Hello, Matt.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:22] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Hi. Happy to be here.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:24] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Matt and I have chatted many times. In fact, we were having a nice chat just before we realised that the time was going to get away from us. So we’ve diverted and pressed record. We were getting into AI, but we’re going to park that because that’s a whole different episode. Well, maybe not. Maybe there’ll be bits of that leaking into this episode.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:39] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> It’ll come up.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:39] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I’m sure it will. But as I say, Matt’s been on the podcast before. He has had a significant sort of reshaping of his career in the recent past. And so we’re going to talk a little bit about what the new direction is, and where he’s going to be focusing his efforts in the near to long term.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But Matt, just before we begin, do you want to tell us a little bit about you and what you’ve been doing in the WordPress space these many years?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:04:01] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Absolutely. Thanks so much. I’m Matt Cromwell. I am was, it’s hard to figure out how to introduce myself anymore. I was co-founder of GiveWP and sold that product in 2021 to Liquid Web and stayed on and came on the leadership team of what became StellarWP, and took all the things I learned from Give and got to apply them across lots of products, in an excellent learning journey.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Recently exited back this last fall, 2025, and went on a journey of discovering in what I want to do, and found that I could not prime myself away from the keyboard enough and decided that now’s the time I get to invest my time and efforts and energy in the WordPress product ecosystem like I always have. So I built a new agency called Roots & Fruit, which I have basically said is your fractional chief growth officer agency. I just launched a couple weeks ago and it’s going well. So that’s what I’m doing. That’s how I say it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:05:02] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, I love the domain, by the way. The minute I saw that, I think I got where you were going without even having read a word. Roots & Fruit sort of says it all, doesn’t it? It’s the growth to the actual harvesting at the end. And so we will get into that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Can I just ask you though, we’ll begin this way because we’ve had several years now of flux in the WordPress ecosystem. You have charted the growth of many products in the WordPress space. You’ve been involved in them personally, and you’ve seen the journeys of other founders and what have you.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Do you have the same level of optimism that the Matt Cromwell, let’s say from the year 2020, when everything was going gangbusters, that 35% went to 38%, went to 40%, and on it went. Do you have the same level of optimism? Do you think there still is fruit to be harvested in the WordPress space in 2026?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:05:59] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Absolutely I do. There’s a lot of caveats in there, I have to say. Being at GiveWP, we had a unique perspective when it came to things like a pandemic. It was like an internal thing where we were afraid of becoming ambulance chasers, okay? Because, especially in the US, when a crisis would come, suddenly our sales would go through the roof. And it’s because when bad things happen, people need to do fundraising. And the worst thing we wanted to do was start capitalising on trauma or things like that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so when COVID came along, we were like, woah, this is going to be significant. And it was. It was a very significant thing. But we had been through the motions, so we knew that it was going to have a downside on the tail end of it, sales-wise. And I think a lot of folks understood that conceptually as well. But we had experienced it a lot.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But what a lot of folks found out on the tail side of COVID was that the downside was worse than it was pre COVID. A lot of folks felt that, even GiveWP to some extent and several of the Stellar products were like, oh, we’ve leveled out, we’ve come down off of the COVID high, and actually it feels a little bit worse than it was before. Budgets got tight in terms of businesses and agencies, nonprofits, things like that. There’s lots of circumstances to those things. But over the last year or so, a lot of product companies have started to see things start to slowly climb again.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But in the WordPress space, I think it’s important that everybody also look at our ecosystem in the bigger ecosystem of just the web. On the web there are small to medium to large companies launching all the time with huge amounts of success. Just a couple years ago, nobody knew what Lovable was. Now it’s a billion dollar company. Things like that do happen and they happen regularly. That to me means there is still lots of appetite for the kinds of solutions that we are trying to bring to the world through the web. And we can be part of that solution.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, the conversation you and I had a little bit before was more about like, what about WordPress and the threat or the opportunity of AI? I do think the way in which WordPress Core has been tackling AI and trying to bring tooling into WordPress Core is making sure that WordPress itself as a platform has not only a future, but it has a lucrative future. I think the way that they’re going about it is really smart and really intelligent, and it is going to actually build the platform in a way that makes AI understand how to build with WordPress better than anything else out there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress is the most, one of the most documented, open source projects in the world, and it’s been open source this whole time, and AI loves that kind of stuff. So it just has been able to scrape the WordPress database, the WordPress code, all the WordPress documentation over years and years and years. AI now knows WordPress really, really, really well. So I think there’s lots of opportunity.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:09:07] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, no, it’s really great because you covered a lot of ground there. I should say, dear listener, at this point, maybe go and have a look at Matt’s domain. I mentioned it, but I’ll just read it into the record. So it’s Roots with an S. Roots and fruit singular, .com, rootsandfruit.com. So go and check that out. Maybe pause the podcast if you’re at a screen and.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:09:28] <strong>Matt Cromwell:<S\ �"8=Q �c l "8=y
� ?� m/strong> Singular and plural.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:09:29] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Both. Yeah, you’ve managed to get all the goodness in there. Go and pause the podcast and have a little poke around and you’ll get some intuition as to what Matt is doing over there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’m going to sort of sidestep a little bit though, because I want to frame this question slightly differently, and that is to, I’ll frame it like this. I, as a consumer of WordPress things, I’ve spent the last 15 or so years pottering around, having a problem, then going to Google and discovering that there’s typically a WordPress plugin or theme or what have you, for that. And then I go to their website and perhaps there’s two or three websites that I might be juggling and thinking which one is superior for the needs that I have. And then I purchase something, you know, I go and I buy a premium version of something or maybe download the free version to give it a test.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But the point is, I have this really abstracted concept of what it is. I’m buying a commodity. So I buy the finished thing and it comes as a zip file, and I typically don’t interact with a human being. And that’s the interesting bit that I want to get into to begin with, is the human behind all of this, which was you for many years.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so can we just explore that a little bit? What is the stuff that somebody like you, when you were with GiveWP, but maybe now the clients that you are going to be servicing, what is their day involved with? What do these people do? What are the anxieties they have? What is the stuff that makes up a plugin or theme developer’s life and business?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:10:55] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Generally speaking, product folks are nerds, love to be behind the screen. And they like this kind of industry, specifically because they don’t have to be the person dealing with the customer as much. That distance that goes between the screen basically, is something that gives them a sense of safety, where they get to focus on the work that they love and they enjoy, without having to deal with the noise of the people.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The exception to that are all the folks that are highly motivated to help with technical support. And I love those people. Those are my people. My focus as a founder was more on the customer support and marketing side of things, so I enjoyed being more of the face of things for our brands over the years.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But the allure there is both being able to have that separation from the noise of the public, but also having a little bit of the security of what might be called mildly passive income. And that’s the big difference between folks who are running an agency and folks who love to run product. Agencies are service oriented folks. They have to be with the customer and the client all the time. You are paying for hours. You’re being paid for the time that you put in, in many ways. With agency service work, there’s ways to get away from just purely time-based charging, but by and large.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the product space, you’re not being paid for the time you put in. You’re being paid for the product, and for the outcomes that the customer experiences. And that’s what you bought Nathan, when you went and bought a utility or a tool or whatnot. You weren’t looking to hire a person, you were looking for a specific outcome on your website, and you felt that that one product could provide you that outcome. And once you had that outcome, you’re happy.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And that’s exactly why product shops are, in my mind, have to be customer oriented first because all of the success, all of the success of the product, of the marketing, of the business, all starts with whether or not the customer is happy.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:13:05] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah. We have this expression in the English language which is, a rising tide carries all boats. And essentially what it means is, when there’s this sort of groundswell of growth, everything touching it grows. And I think we had that in all sorts of ways recently, over the last decade or so.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The mobile phone app ecosystem, that just was taking off and all the developers over there were doing incredibly well. Same with the WordPress space. Just year on year growth. And so there was this notion, which you reference on your website quite a lot, of build it and they will come. And that phrase essentially is, okay, I am one of those people. You said, nerds.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’m going to build a product, and I have a complete expectation that I am part of that rising tide. I’m one of the boats. I’ll build this thing, I’ll mention it a few times on social media, and this thing that I’ve spent hours and hours doing will take off and I will be able to have some kind of passive income from it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, I don’t know when you started saying that those days were gone, but you are definitely saying those days are gone. Why are those days gone? What happened? What changed to make it so that the rising tide carries all boats analogy, possibly no longer fits?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:14:17] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> It depends on the context. I mean, it fits in several different ways. But when it comes to product in the WordPress space nowadays, we used to depend so much on the wordpress.org plugin, or theme, directory as a primary outlet for discoverability. I want people to find that I exist and that I am a solution for their problems, and this is where you find me.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The plugin directory in particular, when we launched GiveWP, I think there were 30,000 plugins at the time, or approaching 30,000. And now there’s over 60, and they are growing every day more or less. They grow and they shrink. They get rid of plugins too, actually. But that does increase the amount of surface area where you have to break through in order to be found. If you try to be an AI alt text generator right now, good luck. There are three dozen of those that got shipped yesterday. It’s crazy.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But even more so than just the noise and the volume on the plugin directory, it’s also that the consumers that are building their websites, they are not thinking about WordPress as much anymore. They’re building with WordPress, but they kind of don’t care that it’s WordPress. They’re just building a website. They have specific outcomes and they know that there are lots of products out there that can serve their needs, and they don’t care if it’s a SaaS, or a platform, or a plugin, or a theme. They don’t care. They’re just going to look for that outcome and they’re going to plug it into their website in one form or another, if that solution is pluggable.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And that space, the SaaS space in particular, has gotten a lot more crowded and a lot more competitive for being applied directly to the WordPress customer. So we’re not just competing WordPress to WordPress, we’re competing WordPress to the rest of the whole world.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:16:18] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, that’s interesting. So my analogy, when I said a rising tide carries all boats, what I’m imagining 10 years ago is that there was a really nice looking harbor with a few little boats. And the tide came up and these little boats just bobbed along and they all rose up. Whereas now it feels like the harbor is just chockablock. There’s boats cheek by jowl with other boats. They’re slamming into each other. And instead of it being a gentle rise, it’s stormy, clouds. The sea is choppy all over the place, and everything is sort of bumping into each other.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In other words, it’s saturated. If you are going to be doing the alt text plugin for AI, well, there were six that came out this morning. There’s going to be nine more by the time we close the doors this evening. Whatever it is that you are doing in the WordPress space, chances are somebody’s already done it. They may already have an existing audience. They may already have paid subscribers.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So this all sounds very bleak. It sounds like we’ve got no way out of this. But your endeavor, what you want to turn your attention to in the years to come, is to persuade people that’s not the case. So what is the rainbow? What is the shining light on the horizon? How would a plugin developer, a theme developer, somebody in the WordPress space, how do they cut through all of this and get noticed?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:17:28] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Yeah. A lot of things have changed over the years, but I would say the majority of things, when it comes to digital products, have not changed. And that’s really the brass tacks of what it takes to be a winning product on the web in general. SaaS companies have known this for a really long time because they didn’t have the obvious distribution channel of wordpress.org that we have.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So they knew if they were going to ship a product, they’re going to have to market it a ton. In the SaaS space, there’s very, very, very few just handy developers who are like, hey, I just built this cool thing, I’ll just put it out there. And then all of a sudden it just goes off like crazy. It doesn’t work that way, and they know it. And so they partner up with marketers.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And in the WordPress space, for way too long, we got lazy because we had the .org distribution channel. And we assumed that we could build it and people would come. And that’s not like one hundred percent wrong. The directory is still a good tool, and it’s still helpful, and I love the freemium model for products in general. But the thing that WordPress product folks in particular have to learn is to learn how to be a product business, not a code business.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And that’s even more significant now that everyone is learning that code was never the product, because now nobody is building with code anymore. The humans do not build the code anymore. The machines build the code. And you’ll find lots of marketers or CX folks who are building their own apps now as well because they’re savvy enough to use the tools to be able to generate the code that they need and that they want.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:19:11] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Can I just pause for a second there Matt, is that all right? Just because there’s a couple of things that you said, and clearly for you it’s common knowledge. You know, you’ve been in and out of this all the whole time. You painted a strong definition there between a product and code. What’s the boundary between those two things? I mean, I think I can encapsulate, I just want to be clear that the audience know. What’s the difference between product and code businesses, if you know what I mean?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:19:33] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Let’s go back to when you said, I’m building my website and I have a problem that needs to be solved, and I see this plugin and it solves my problem. And I installed it, or I bought it and I installed it and it worked. That process that you went through, all of those things that you said, you never once said, I inspected the code to figure out if it was good enough or not. You never once said that. All of the things that convinced you to use that product had nothing to do with the code at all.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You went to the website and there was marketing involved that told you that we know what your problem is, and we know how to solve it. And there was a checkout experience that was calm and soothing enough and giving you enough confidence that they’re not just stealing your money. Then you installed the product and there was a user experience involved that made you feel like it’s actually going to solve your problem, and then it did actually solve your problem. All of those things cannot happen without code, but that is what a product does. And that’s a product experience, is the whole entire customer journey that happens from discovery, to purchase, to adoption is what a product is actually made of.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:20:43] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So I’m going to infer from that then that from the year 2026 and onwards, what you are saying is that the focus now needs to be on the product. More than ever, the product and the way that you market the product and the way that you pitch the product, and all of the things that wrap around the sales process and the discovery process of the product. That’s where a significant amount of the effort needs to go once the code is in place. Have I parsed that correctly?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:21:11] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Yeah, I might even go at it from the perspective of the customer because you only understand the product when you look at that whole thing through the lens of the customer. If you think about everything from, oh, I can build that, I just need to pipe these APIs and do this kind of thing, and then you get the outcome, it’s like, well that’s not really what the customer’s ever going to experience.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They’re going to experience a website first. They’re going to try to have trust first. Look at the whole thing through the customer lens and then you’ll start to understand your product. I mean, you’ll understand your brand in the first place. A lot of WordPress folks don’t think about brand particularly well either. They just name it like Advanced Custom Fields. Now, I love that product. It’s a great, but it’s one of those things where like, let’s just name it what it is. Okay, I guess.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:22:04] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So this is really interesting. So presumably then, if product is the way forward, it feels like you have now kind of invented a new career angle for yourself where you are going to hopefully kind of helicopter yourself in, or be helicoptered in, to businesses who maybe have got this product bit missing. You know, there are bits of that they, I don’t know, maybe they feel that they’re weak on that, or that past endeavors haven’t really worked out. Or maybe they’re at the first step of that journey and they just want to try and figure out what direction they should point themselves in to have some success.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So that’s kind of interesting. That’s the role that you are going to be taking on in the future. And I can see you nodding. Dear listener, he’s nodding away, so that’s good. But, do you have like a one size fits all template here, or is the endeavor very much to be, okay, I’m going to go in, have a long listen, figure out how you differ from the other people that are on my roster? There’s not really a question in there, but I’m kind of asking you how you are going to position yourself for the different clients that you’re no doubt going to be taking on.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:23:06] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Yeah, yeah, Well, one thing I’ll caveat a little bit is I’m trying to position myself towards two related audiences. The prim �c"8=y�R\ m "8=�
� ?� nary one, for the fractional CGO, is the teams. Product shops that are a team of people. A small team, medium sized team. They’ve built something, it’s successful, they are paying employees, but they’re looking for that next level up, in order to start growing into what they hope to be, more sustainable growth in the long term.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The other one is what I call the solo lab, where I am trying to position more towards solo individual founders who are by themselves and maybe just got their product out the door and are trying to grow from the ground up. That’s more of like a coaching environment and it’s a group environment and things like that. But both of them are, it’s not that there’s a, I don’t believe really in playbooks. I don’t believe in silver bullets. I believe in process and diligence.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And that’s what I am trying to bring in both of those circumstances is I help the solo folks understand the type of activities that they have to force themselves to do. The solo folks typically are very dev oriented. They know how to build more things. And if you ask them to write a blog post, they’re like, okay, I’ll do that tomorrow and tomorrow never comes. You know, helping them to focus on the work that they have to do to grow their product.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While the teams, it’s more generally about, they have founders who have done all the things. They have been the dev, they have been the HR lead, they have been the marketer, they have been the support guru. They’ve done all of it, and they’re just tired. And they need the growth but there’s just a missing gap. They need somebody to kind of put on the hat of, you are going to be responsible for finding growth in this team, so that that founder can focus more on other parts, the things that energise them more.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:24:59] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I’m curious as to whether or not, when you were doing the busy work of being at GiveWP and then StellarWP, whether you drew the intuitions that you are now going to be helping people with. Whether you were aware of this in your head, or it was just the busy work that you were doing. You know, day in, day out, you do this task and over the decade or more that you were doing it, you just kind of perfected it. And, okay, when this thing arises, I do this thing. And when this thing arises, I do this thing.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now I expect you’re in that curious position where you are having to lift yourself away from the whole process, stare back at it, and sort of examine how you would do it with a third party. Again, there’s no real question there, but I’m curious as to how different that is for you being the outsider, but relying on the insider knowledge that you must have acquired over time.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:25:49] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Yeah. I think that’s one of the reasons why I felt a certain amount of confidence in moving in this direction is because I’m helping people that are in the position I was in years ago. I’ve been there and I have done that, and I have absolutely failed. And I don’t have a perfect record or a perfect playbook, but I know what it’s like, and I have done the hard work to see successes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I think what also makes my experience a little bit unique is that I had the experience of GiveWP and I honestly, going into being acquired and working at Liquid Web, I had that whole feeling of like, what if I’m a one hit wonder? What if I like did a great job with Give, but I try to apply this anywhere else and it just is like, well you got lucky with Give, that doesn’t work anywhere else? And it turns out that most of the things that I learned can be applied to other products with success as well. It does give me a fair amount of confidence that I do believe I can be helpful with these other shops.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:26:50] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> You’re not sort of saying there’s a formula, you know, that kind of snake oil mentality. But there are wise things to do and less wise things to do. Let’s just put it that way. And by repeating the wise things over and over again, you give yourself kind of a fighting.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:27:05] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Yeah, and there’s a process and there’s also the ability to form smart priorities. That’s, I think, a lot of what I’m trying to help provide is being able to help founders learn how to say no to a lot of things. Because sometimes, especially when it comes to anything that’s growth oriented or marketing oriented, we see a million opportunities. And so then we start dabbling in all the things because we don’t know what else to do.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We’re like, oh, there’s like, I can go and jump into Reddit and find a whole bunch of leads, or I can like spend a bunch of time on LinkedIn, or I could write a whole bunch of really good emails, or I can maybe do a paid ad campaign. And then we start doing just like a million small things. But that doesn’t lead to growth, you know? So the ability to prioritise around growing rather than noise and activity.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:27:57] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I think it’s just really nice to be able to put down the scatter gun. You know, that thing that you’re firing tiny pellets in a million different directions. But you put the scatter gun down because somebody says, put the gun down because that’s not effective, and here’s why it’s not effective, and here’s some things that you could do to try which might be more effective.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There’s just something nice in listening to the words of wisdom coming out of somebody else’s mouth who’s obviously been there, done that. It’s kind of hard to put that into words, but just knowing that somebody’s got your back, and that somebody’s been through that before. And the million, gazillion little things that you are trying without a great deal of success are things that you can put away and listen to your advice.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I feel that you’ve hit a real vein of, well, let’s go fruit. You’ve got that in the title of your business. And the reason I say that, and I’ve said this in this podcast a few times before, it really does feel like there are an awful lot of people who have done the code side of things in our ecosystem. They are, as you’ve described, you know, you used the word nerd or something like that. They have built this thing with very little thought for the business side of it because WordPress, for many people, has been like this sort of hobby thing, this passive income thing, this side gig kind of thing. But they don’t know how to do it. And I get email, no doubt you get email, and certainly will be getting email, about this kind of thing. And so I feel that there is a real undercurrent of people who hopefully will tap into your service. Let’s hope so anyway.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:29:29] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Yeah, let’s hope so. So far, so good. I’ve already secured a couple folks.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:29:33] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> In which case, we’re sort of around the half an hour mark, which is exactly perfect. So I will just point the people to the domain once more. It is rootsandfruit.com. Go check that out. Where would we find you, apart from the contact us form, which no doubt exists on that website? Where might we find you elsewhere online, Matt?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:29:52] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> I have been on LinkedIn a lot. So look for Matt Cromwell on LinkedIn. You can also look for Roots & Fruit on LinkedIn. That’s kind of where I prefer, but I’m also on the nefarious x.com as learnwithmattc.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:30:06] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Well, good luck with the new adventure, Matt. I really hope it works out well and, yeah, speak to you soon.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:30:12] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Thanks.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the podcast today we have <a href="https://rootsandfruit.com">Matt Cromwell</a>.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Matt has been an influential figure in the WordPress ecosystem for many years. He co-founded GiveWP, led its growth, and continued his journey as part of the StellarWP leadership after it was acquired. Recently, Matt has shifted gears, launching something new. It’s called Roots and Fruit, and is an agency dedicated to helping WordPress product businesses thrive.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In recent years, WordPress has gone through a period of flux. There’s been shifting stats about WordPress’ market share, tightening budgets, and increasing competition from both within and outside the .org plugin repo. Despite these changes, Matt remains optimistic about the opportunities for product makers, especially as WordPress evolves alongside emerging technologies like AI.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Matt starts off by sharing his background, his experience with GiveWP, and the unique perspective he gained navigating growth, crisis, and the challenges facing plugin developers. We then talk about how the WordPress product space has matured, why building a plugin or theme and hoping users will simply discover it is no longer enough, and how focusing on the customer journey, branding, and marketing is more crucial than ever.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Matt is now positioning himself as a mentor and guide for solo founders and product teams, helping them prioritise growth efforts, refine their product experience, and avoid the scattered approach that many developers fall into. He brings practical insights from years of hands-on experience, and explains why a successful WordPress product business relies on process, diligence, and wise prioritisation, not just code and hope.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re building digital products in WordPress and want to learn how to make them stand out in a crowded, competitive ecosystem, this episode is for you.</p>

Birgit Pauli-Haack shares her recovery journey and emphasizes the value of Carolina Nymark’s expertise. Carolina Nymark introduces herself as a long-time WordPress core committer and theme bundle maintainer, explaining her role in triaging, testing, and updating default themes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They highlight key updates in the Gutenberg plugin and developer resources, such as enhanced plugin settings page creation, streamlined theme development using WordPress Playground and GitHub, and new tools for AI integration. The hosts dive into major Gutenberg enhancements: block visibility controls now let users tailor which blocks appear on various devices, custom CSS can be applied to individual blocks in posts, and image cropping has become more intuitive. Pattern editing is stabilized, improving content-only editing and preventing accidental layout changes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Notable new features include a dedicated fonts page in the appearance menu, improvements to navigation (like mobile overlays and submenu options), a responsive grid block, enhanced breadcrumbs and tabs blocks, and greater customization in the query and image blocks. They touch on the growing importance of collaborative tools—real-time editing and notes within WordPress—and mention plans for visual revision comparisons.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Throughout, Birgit Pauli-Haack and Carolina Nymark stress community involvement, feedback, and testing as crucial for these features’ success. The episode wraps up with encouragement to try the new capabilities, share feedback, and a reminder to balance tech work with life outside the screen.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Welcome to our 126th episode of the Gutenberg Changelog Podcast. In today’s episode, we will talk about Gutenberg releases 22.3, 22.4, and 22.5. And in certain parts also about WordPress 7.0. I’m your host, Birgit Pauli-Haack, curator at the Gutenberg Times and a full-time core contributor for the WordPress open source project sponsored by Automattic. Dear listeners, have you missed me? I missed you. My voice is still not entirely recovered from the surgery I had in December. Everything else turned out totally okay. But I’m really glad I have Carolina Nymark back on the show and on my side. We will go through these last 3 Gutenberg releases that were released since before the holidays. So let’s start with you, Carolina. Please tell our listeners briefly who you are and what you do. Glad you’re here. Thank you for coming.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Hi, thank you for inviting me again. It’s been a while. So my name is Carolina Nymark. I am from Sweden. I am a WordPress core committer and a bundled theme component maintainer. I previously worked at Yoast, but from mid-February, I’m now unemployed and I hope to come back to contributing to WordPress. And I’ve been away for almost a year, so I’m excited and looking forward to going back and seeing what you have been working on for the past year. Not only these 3 Gutenberg releases.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>Well, yeah, we missed you, Carolina. That’s for sure. Yeah. Your voice of reason and creativity was really missing at some point. Yeah. I know you also— what does it mean, a theme bundle maintainer? Maybe you can explain that to our listeners.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> It means that when someone finds a bug in the default themes like Twenty Twenty-Five or Twenty Twenty-One, we triage new reports. We help sort people who should go to the support forum and who can, you know, who should be actually opening a ticket in the ticket system. Then we help people who are creating a pull request for these bugs and we test the pull request and we eventually update the themes. And when we update the themes, there is a new release in the Theme directory.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Oh, okay. So even if you, if the default theme is Twenty Twenty-Five, which came out in December ’24, but that’s now in its version 1.4.5, 1.5 or something like that. So all the releases before that were done by Theme Bundle maintainers since the first release. Cool. I understand that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> But only, but yes, we do have a couple of component maintainers who are working actively on it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, yeah, it’s not all you. Nobody can really do it all by themselves in the WordPress Contributor teams.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Most of the updates are actually part of the major releases.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Oh, okay. So, and if people who don’t know you from before you had to stop contributing, you’re also the maintainer of a website called fullsitediting.com. Which has some great tutorials on theme building, on block themes, and also on getting started. There is a block theme starter kit there, yeah, where you can select, do you have one, a basic and advanced or full advanced kind of theme? And then on, on the press of a button, you can download a whole theme building kit, which I have found quite helpful learning everything. So Check it out, fullsitediting.com.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Thank you. Uh, yeah, I just found that the best way for me to learn was to really deep dive into, you know, if I found something difficult, the best way was to go back and, you know, read the code and test things and look at what other people have, you know, recorded YouTube videos about and, you know, actually sit down and write it in my own words. That’s how I learn. The best. That’s what I did. And I published those articles or lessons on the site.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, that was absolutely genius. And I think you started in 2020 with that during the pandemic. Yeah. So when the full site editing team was kind of getting started. Yeah. We also have some back then, some videos and you were on that. So we, we have quite some, you’ve been right at the forefront of all this cool stuff now.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark</em>: Yeah, it’s, it’s still strange that it was so long ago. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> But yeah, good things take its time. They have to take time. So I think it will be good to get started because we don’t have a whole lot of time, but we need to go through a whole lot of stuff.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What’s Released – WordPress 6.9.1</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So we start with WordPress 6.9.1 has been released and it’s a maintenance release with 49 bug fixes throughout core and the block editor. And then the release was led by Aaron Jorbin and Aki Hamano. And they have release posts. And if your site has automatic minor updates, you already have it, but you should definitely update now manually. I’ll share the release post in the show notes in the interest of time because they were all bug fixes. So you can do your deeper dive from there. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I also want to point out, because we cannot cover everything, point out some updates on the WordPress official developer blog. There were two What’s New for Developers posts published by Justin Tadlock, and the one from January as well as from February, and that gives you probably also what is not covered with Gutenberg plugin releases that might come into WordPress 7.0. So you can catch up there. And then there were 3 tutorials published on the developer blog in January and February. One was to use the data form to create plugin settings pages, which is pretty interesting because you use WordPress’s own component for the settings pages. You don’t have to make any, not a whole lot of design decisions. You definitely have to. You don’t have to maintain that code for the components because that’s done by the core developers. So you have a streamlined pathway to your plugins and that tutorial walks you through it. Yeah, there’s also one that’s called Streamlining Block Theme Development with WordPress Playground and GitHub. That kind of covers the problem space that most, a lot of designers want to design their theme in the site editor. Over the global styles and the patterns and all that. But how does that— and everything there is stored in the database. But then there is a theme. So how does all that new or changed modifications all go back to the file system is through Playground and GitHub and the Create Block Theme plugin. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So these three tools play together so you can as a designer just work in the site editor and then post a PR to GitHub for the developers to sign off on and get it all into version control, which is pretty much the whole— yeah, developers get really antsy when they don’t have control over code or over settings. So this is a good way to work together with developers on, on a theme development. And then the third one was about the abilities for AI agents when Justin— no, not Justin, Jonathan Bossinger introduces the WordPress MCP adapter that was published by the Core AI team and to see how that all works together. So those are good. It kind of covers the whole thing, range of developer things on the developer blog, of course. Any thoughts about that, Carolina?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah, I mean, especially the settings pages for me who doesn’t, you know, normally create plugins. I really like that because it just seems like such a huge time saver to not have to do it from scratch. I mean, the choice of the topics, it’s really great.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> And if you, Carolina, now on you, if y���"8=�A��� o "8=�
� ?� pou have a topic that you want to talk about and you want to write about because you want to discover it, like you said, the full site editing, I have the right place for you. That’s the developer blog. That’s how I approach it as well. If I want to deep dive into a certain topic, I say, okay, I’m going to write about on the developer blog and then we’ll me through an example plugin or example theme or something and then walk through my steps and then publish it. So I’m inviting you to kind of think about things.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> I mean, there is a GitHub repository. I know that there is a list of suggested topics that someone needs to pick up and write about.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> We have a few topics that are not— that are approved by an editorial kind of group that haven’t been picked up by writers yet. So that’s definitely the first thing you can look at. But if it doesn’t fancy you, go ahead and just suggest your own topics. We will have the next meeting on the first Thursday of the month, every month. So get it in before that, and then you can start writing after the approval. And for the listeners, there is a subscribe button on the— or subscribe feature on the WordPress Developer Blog. So you will never miss another post again if you haven’t looked at any of those before. All right. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Gutenberg Releases</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I think we need to get started on the Gutenberg releases. So this time we’re going to do it a little bit differently because we have 22.3, 22.4, and 22.5 Releases to cover and with over 700 PRs over all three releases. All we can do today is pick and choose and summarize features. Most of them have been worked on for the upcoming WordPress 7.0 release, but there are also updates that lay the foundation for future WordPress releases or that might not get into 7.0. So whatever we say today that might go or that will go, we only know it next week for sure, because that’s when the WordPress 7.0 beta 1 comes out. And beta 1 is always— there have been exceptions though— feature freeze. And then 4 weeks later is the release candidate 1. That’s the string freeze. But between beta 1 and release candidate 1, there’s a whole 4 weeks where we work on bug fixes that come out of the release or from other places. So that’s when we know. And yeah, so I link in the show notes to all 3 release posts from the Gutenberg releases. And so you can follow up on the specifics. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So first, a few numbers. I said one number already, that’s 700 and over 700. The next one is 22.3 had 131 PRs among them, 23 enhancements, 36 bug fixes. 22.4 was a whopper. It had 406 PRs. So many because we skipped the schedule around the holidays. So there it’s a 4-week period and that’s what you get. You get 100 PRs per week and it includes 119 enhancements and 86 closed bugs and 22.5, which was released just last week with 153 PRs and 49 enhancements and 39 bug fixes. So yeah, you might appreciate that we are cutting down on going PR by PR. So, but let’s go on to some of the features. Are you ready, Carolina?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Well, yes, but I also just want to say thank you because I know that you have helped publish some of these releases, including the latest minor. You’re the one who’s been pushing the button so that the rest of us can download the updates in our, you know, through our WordPress installations. So thank you.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> You’re welcome. You’re welcome. It’s always fun to get through some of the releases. So I, yeah, I released 22.3 and 22.4. My coworker on the team, Juan Margorito, did the whopper, the 22.4, and in between we kind of looked again on the release documentation because we all kind of hit some blockers there where we needed help. And so yeah, it’s definitely something interesting to do once in a while. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I must say the automation of those releases is really well thought through. Yeah, so If you want to try it, if you have been a core contributor and on the Gutenberg release, on the Gutenberg and a member of the Gutenberg team, GitHub team, contact us if you want to get into release processes. All right. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Major Features</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So the major features, the first one is it’s random. There are a lot of good ones in there, but it’s not the first one. It’s not in the order of importance. So block visibility controls. In 6.9, we had the hide button. You can hide it or show it, but you couldn’t really say when and not when. It’s only yes or no, which was good when you do just draft sections or you have holiday things and you just want to switch it off. But now we have viewport-based visibility rules. Do you know more about it, Carolina?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> I’ve tried it. I also read a couple of the comments in their pull requests. Actually, I struggled a little bit with finding where it was, and then I remembered, yes, it’s actually in the list view. So when you open your post or page and you go to the list view, you have the visibility control, and then you have the additional options with the different viewports, and it’s a checkbox. So it’s super easy to use. And yes, of course, it works well on the front end. It’s hidden depending on the CSS class name on the block. But I’m really interested in knowing what’s next. Speculations, like when are we going to be able to change, you know, our custom viewport sizes? When do we, as, you know, site owners or developers, When can we decide? Very curious to find out that. But yeah, it’s very, very easy to use. It’s excellent if you need to do something quick.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, definitely. And kind of mobile is everything under 480 pixel width. Tablet is between 480 and 782. I don’t know where the 2 comes from. Can’t we do just round numbers? And then the desktop is everything the desktop view, viewport is everything above 782 pixels. It works, yeah, just out of the box. And the only thing I found is when you want to test it and you just do it by using the browser view, sometimes it doesn’t— the browser small one doesn’t get under 480. So, but yeah, I use it through the developer tools and then see it as well.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah. So speaking of doing something quickly, the next feature we chose was the custom CSS for individual blocks. So previously we’ve had, you know, you select your block and you can add a class name and then your CSS is elsewhere in a CSS file or maybe even in the customizer CSS setting. Who knows if you’re using it, you know. An old theme. But now you can actually add CSS directly in the editor when you’re selecting your block. And this CSS is of course only applied to that specific block. So if you have two groups, they will have diff— they will look differently because only one of them is gonna have this CSS. So the difference between the old setting, which was in the site editor, that was for every single block. That was for all the groups. All the paragraphs. And this setting is for the individual single block on that specific post or page.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. And there’s another, I don’t know if you had this. I really like this because now you have post and it’s not only for this block. It’s just the block in this post. Yeah. So it will, every post has a new set of blocks that need to be customized CSS. So if you do it twice, think about it, go back to the styles. To the blocks and put it in your global styles so you don’t— you remember, okay, it’s always going to look like that. But I think in the process of making decisions for your whole site, that’s a really good place to try something out, to see how it drives. And then once you know, okay, this is the right setting or this is the right way to do it, then you kind of take it out of there and put it into your global styles. There’s also a global styles custom CSS that’s actually hidden, but then you go to the styles three, three dot menu on top of the styles section. And there is the additional CSS that kind of covers the whole site.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: And then another place to do custom CSS is actually in the theme.json file. And that’s kind of the best way to get it out of the hands of users and cement it there so you can lock down some of the blocks. Some designers really want to have those guardrails. And I need to look for the dial to turn it off.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So, yeah, in theme JSON, you can have the CSS for the entire site. For example, if you need to change something on the body Or, and you also have the CSS for the individual block types, but never for a single block.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> So when everything is in the play, it’s going to be hard for designers to track down some CSS things that are not working right. I have no idea how to actually mitigate that problem. There’s one feature request to have for the individual blocks in the post that there is in the list view a little CSS kind of thing to know, okay, which block actually has custom CSS. So you don’t have to go through every block, through every paragraph block, for instance, if you have one kind of stands out, but we’ll see how that works.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So for example, if you add a very simple CSS for a text color to a paragraph block, and then you go to the color settings, the color settings, if you pick a color in the color picker, will actually override your CSS unless you start using CSS important. Then your CSS is going to override the color settings. So this is, this is, you know, that’s something that I looked at immediately and it seems like it’s been tested really thoroughly and everything seems to work as, you know, as it should. So I like that. Seems to be tested really well.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, so the next thing is image cropping tools. Well, we were able to crop images in the editor as well as in the media library, but it was very haphazard. It was kind of, it wasn’t very intuitive. And now you can, it’s much easier to do that. There’s a new package built that works in the media library as well as in the editor. And now you can crop either by certain aspect ratio, or you can actually have drag and drop that you know from other graphics programs, how to crop things. So you can really go in and pixel perfect crop it without having to figure out how to enlarge it so I can crop it. It’s kind of, that’s my brain always had a hard time with it. I have to zoom in so I can crop it. So now I can just say, okay, here, this is the rectangle that I wanted to crop to. You can also rotate it. And what was the other one?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark</em>: Yeah, the support for the rotation is supposed to be better. That’s what I read. If I understand correctly from a developer perspective, it’s now also a public package. So it’s much easier for you as a third-party developer, plugin developer, to actually use the new image copy package now than before. So that’s good. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Next we have stabilized pattern editing. So this is something that has been in Gutenberg for a long while, I believe. But now it’s stabilized in a way because we want to add it to 7.0. And as a user, I believe that the biggest change is that when you insert a pattern, it’s kind of locked. You will see, for example, if I was testing patterns from 2026, from the bundled themes anyway. And yeah, so the colors are locked when you start, but you can start typing in, for example, headings and paragraphs. I believe that’s the biggest difference for users. The risk of breaking something is lower. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> What I also found is that there’s a new kind of entity there. It’s called the section that kind of guardrails the pattern. So it can do just the content-only editing and people can kind of feel a little bit secure in there. It also helps with changing the design, if there are style variations for certain blocks, that they can do it, but they cannot break out of the pattern. Yeah, the original pattern was that as soon as it’s on the canvas, the blocks are all individual blocks. There is no reference back to the pattern itself. And I think that has been, has been mitigated, yeah, it kind of gapped that that is possible if it has the content-only kind of attributes. It now can be followed back to the original pattern, I think. But its editing has been quite complicated. So making it easier with these new attributes and features is probably a good way to go to have a little bit more, so content creators who are not technically kind of, they have a better trust on the patterns and they can’t break things easily.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> They have to try harder to break it, which is good.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Try harder. Yeah. That’s what we say to developers. Oh, it works. Oh, I wanted to break it. Try harder.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> The panels do look a little bit different than before. But I do believe it’s easier.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> And the sidebar also has an additional tab in there. That’s the content tab. We’ll see it for the image block as well. And we see it in the patterns or even the COVID blocks, all those container blocks here, column blocks, and they have a sidebar now with the content. So it’s a little bit duplicated from the list view, but it’s just block-oriented. So you know exactly what’s in the block or in the section that you kind of highlight there. There’s another one that will come that’s a list view for the— the list view on the right is a different list view than to the left. Terms, it’s hard naming things. So we name it all the same. On the right-hand side, there is a list view when you have actually lists in your canvas. And you see the items in there and you can manage that from there and don’t have to kind of fiddle around with the canvas there. I don’t know. I think it’s people kind of try to figure out or contributors try to figure out what’s the best way to do that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So I haven’t seen that, but it sounds kind of like the separate list view for the navigation block. You’re dragging the in, you see the inner blocks and you can move them and you can delete them and et cetera.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> That’s exactly right. Yeah. Yeah, it’s for all those that have components inside, like the buttons block has other buttons inside. Those social icons block has social icons in there and you get them in that list view, the same as the list has multiple list items. So it was also important for the other combination of blocks that are coming to WordPress 7.0. Or have already been the accordion block, the tabs block, the breadcrumbs block. They all need additional detailed interfaces.</p>
<p class="wp-A���"8=�2� p "8>)
� ?� qblock-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah, they’re quite complicated compared to most other blocks, but they’re good additions.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Oh yeah, additions that we have been waiting for quite a bit. So the next thing on our list is the dedicated fonts page. So Block themes now have a dedicated fonts page in the appearance menu where you can go directly to managing your typography selection. And it moves from the controls and it was always hidden in the global styles under fonts controls. So who— nobody actually found it unless you deal with it on a day-to-day basis. You remember where to look. For those who are not working on block themes, the non-block support is planned. It will not make it into 7.0, but it’s definitely on the roadmap for the next following releases. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Navigation Improvements</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So navigation improvements. Oh, where they’re needed.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Well, I haven’t actually been able to test that. I tried, but I actually couldn’t figure out how to activate it. So maybe you can teach me.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> So the idea of the feature is that you now have choices to create mobile overlays for your mobile versions. That’s another way to a full responsive design. And that you have, you were always having overlays were all available, but you weren’t able to edit them. And the way they do it now is to create a theme parts, the theme part like you do header and footer and call it overlays and then push it into the design for the navigation. So there is now on the right-hand side a menu where you can say for the overlay and you can pick the various parts and there are patterns for that. So the team also created a few patterns, I think 8, that will come with 7.0. So you can kind of have a selection. You don’t have to come up with the overlays yourself, or at least get started. So there is a— with the accent color or black backgrounds. And so you can also say, okay, always show the navigation, the overlays. That means that the navigation, it’s always the hamburger menu and even on the desktop side and then comes with the overlay. There is also a sidebar preview of those overlay patterns and some, some controls there to add blocks like you do with a navigation block as well, because what you do is actually have a navigation, a second navigation on your site. So it definitely needs testing. There is a call for testing out by the team who built it. It’s under the Make Test Block. And I will add it to the show notes. That’s the best way to learn is to kind of heed a call for testing and see what it’s supposed to work. Because Dave Smith published that a couple of weeks ago. And he also added videos how it was supposed to work. And so you can really follow up on that if you want to kind of dive into that because you’re so keen to doing it. Like Carolina is. Yes, it’s always hard to test something if you don’t know how it’s supposed to work. So it’s like jumping into a pool, not able to swim. I mean, if you don’t— there’s quite.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> A few buttons to choose from. Do I click here? Do I go there? Do I go to edit or navigation? Or do I go to my header? Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> It’s not a lot of choices. Or you can do it through your header and then the navigation block. So like that, that’s definitely a good entrance to do. Yeah. All right. I have not yet experimented with additional patterns for that. But I wanna kind of go in there and make my own patterns.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark</em>: You have 8 new designs. That’s really nice. That’s a lot. Can you just, you know, imagine the amount of work that went into this?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Big part of it was by Maggie Cabrera. Yeah, when she came out of sabbatical, so she, that’s how she jumped in to kind of get working on that, I think. Yeah, but the mobile menu overlays are not the only new advanced navigation features. There’s also the improvements on the submenu handling. You can say, okay, that always needs to be open, and then you can better handling of the custom overlays as well. Also, the link picker is a little bit easier to manage. And there were in previous Gutenberg releases that will come to 7.0, there was also background. When it’s not 100%, it’s opacity, the opacity of the background for the site menu. So because it goes over the website, so it needs to have a different background. And you can select the color as well as the opacity of it. So is it shine through or not? And so that’s kind of interesting as well.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> I know so many users who have requested this, the feature to keep the submenu always open, especially if the menu is vertical, then you don’t always want to go there with your keyboard or hover over it to open it. So I think that one’s gonna be very well received.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. And it really helps with the left side navigation. That was, yeah, for the navigation block was really hard to do, but now with the submenus being always open and kind of you, you can organize them with the overlays and, or in a separate, yeah, it’s, it’s really nice to, to work with navigation that way.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>But. It’s always going to be complicated because there are some— oh, what they also fixed was that the links to pages are actually dynamic. So if you change the pages, the slug or the title, it kind of replicates it in the navigation menu. That was something that came over from the classic menus. And in the first iteration of the navigation block, that was not the case. That was all hardcoded and you had to, you had to kind of figure that out that if you change the page, you also needed to change all the navigation stuff. Yeah. So sometimes you think, oh, okay.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Well, we have to start with something.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Exactly.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Text Alignment Standardization</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Right. Yeah. So next we have text alignment standardizations. I don’t believe that there is anything visible for the editor or the user for this, but this was something that we needed to do to enable other options that are planned because it was inconsistent. So different blocks had different settings and they were, you know, the code was, they actually did kind of the same thing, but in the code they had different names. It was kind of confusing.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> True. Yeah. And some of the blocks didn’t have text-align because they also were referencing that from the parent block. But now they do. And I have to update. There is a roster for all the design kinds of things, features we published for 6.8 and 6.7. And I guess I need to update it now for 7.0. I haven’t found a very good automatic thing yet, but I might be talking to my AI about that. So we can publish it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Maybe that’s good use of it. But you also have until April, I suppose.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Right, right, right, right. I can do it manually. But I’m also working on the source of truth for the other content creators in the space.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So thank you.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Enhanced Block Features</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>Yeah, it’s a lot of stuff. To go through. Yeah. So it becomes— some blocks are just have been enhanced, and one is the COVID block now has a focal point picker for the fixed backgrounds. So if you have a background image, you can actually decide where’s the focal point of that. That’s good if you use a picture that it’s actually tall, but you use it in a horizontal cover block, you kind of— it crops it, but then you need to use the focal point picker to figure what’s actually in, in the block. The paragraph block got an enhancement of the text column support. So you could select that under typography that you can have a paragraph displayed in multiple columns automatically. And it kind of depending on the screen size, it kind of does the pattern, the columns there, which is really nice.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah, classic design elements. And now you might need to use, for example, the row or column block, and you can just use your paragraph.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, and it’s flexible, so you don’t have to decide what’s happening with responsiveness and all that. Because sometimes well, anyway, it’s always a little hazard.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> We have some image block improvements and we already mentioned the improvements to the focal point picker for the COVID block, for example. We also have aspect ratio controls for wide and full width blocks, image blocks, excuse me. Because before this you could actually get a little bit weird results if you choose one of the aspect ratios that’s supposed to be wide and your block wasn’t wide, depending on, you know, how big you actually want it. So that’s nice.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, I tested this and I think the headline is a little bit confusing because the image block per se doesn’t have wide or full alignment. It’s only the hero section or so, the COVID block, if you put an image in there and then you couldn’t decide how it actually uses the image. So now you can select the aspect ratio for the image in the COVID block when it’s full or wide width.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Interesting.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. And then the other, that is a little bit of an orphan in there, the reorganize content tab and inspector controls. That’s what we talked about earlier, that there are additional tabs in the sidebar of the block editor. That is actually for the image block as well, where you can see the image in a small thing and then can click on it and replace it. So there are a few controls that were before in the block toolbar are now also replicated in the sidebar and for a content tab. And that also includes the alt text. So you don’t have to hunt for the alt text. It’s just in the default open content tab. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Next one is the breadcrumbs block. Well, that breadcrumbs block comes into, will come for 7.0, and the team has been working on in the last, I think, 6 Gutenberg plugin releases. So in those last 3, there’s now theme.json block support for it, block schema support, and then also it applies now post type archive titles into the breadcrumbs. So, and you can decide how many breadcrumbs you wanna display in there. But it actually knows your categories and all that. So don’t forget to put in the primary category when you have more than one category so it can pick up, pick that up. And then there’s also a filter hook to override the final array. And so there are some, some good improvements there that roundup the breadcrumbs block for the WordPress 7.0 release. Actually, Yoast had in the SEO plugin had some nice breadcrumbs features in there. Yeah, but there were never, I don’t think there were block related. They were all in the classic theme paradigm. This breadcrumbs block you can put anywhere. You can put it on a post, you can put it on a page, you can put it in a template for archives, for authors, for anybody. And it will pick up in your header. Yeah. And if it doesn’t pick up as you think it would, file a bug report because that’s a living experience. And it’s just the— it’s the first version, but it’s actually for a first version really powerful.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So the next on the list is the tabs block has been restructured. I’m not familiar with this change, so maybe I should be quiet.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. Why? So yeah, there were from the original proposal, there were a few changes that after feedback from core contributors and users, there needed to be a few changes. So what it does is you have tabs on top or writers and you need to tackle those in an array. So it’s tabs 1, tabs 2, tabs 3, like, or product details. Technical specs or whatever you think needs to be in a tabs block. So that’s the tabs menu items. And then you need to manage those because you can say, okay, you want to go left or right with one, you want to change the order. So there is a way to do that. And that’s one section. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The other one is the content panel, the panels for each one of those tabs. You have different panels and in those panels are actually content blocks, like a paragraph, a picture, and all that. So it’s probably a little complicated to style, but they’ve made some changes. So it’s a little bit easier to handle. It’s definitely worth testing out in the latest Gutenberg plugin release to see if that actually works for you and to have your feedback as well. Dear listeners, it’s important to get real-life use cases on it so it can be improved for 7.0.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> I mean, I would suspect that WooCommerce would be interested in this for their tabs. Absolutely. That would be like, you know, that’s my light bulb. So I haven’t looked who’s actually working on this. Maybe they are. Maybe that’s the team who’s been contributing feedback to it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>Well, it’s, yeah, I’m sure they have because, or also WordPress.com who also has business sites. But the developer who’s working on that was Seth Rubenstein, who is from Pew Research Institute, and he has done some amazing block development stuff for his own company. So he knows blocks in and out. So it was good to have a first version from him and then kind of modify it to fit into the core paradigm. So that was actually some great work from Seth in there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Oh, great.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> And then there were some grid layout enhancements. The grid block is now responsive when columns are set. Before, it was only responsive when it was on auto columns. So the system decided how the columns worked. And now you can actually set column widths and it still will be responsive. So that’s definitely an additional feature there. And it’s a little bit easier to edit in, just kind of move things around and remove the drag handles because it’s just clutter. You know, you can drag and drop from one section to the other of the content. And there’s also a height block support for the dimension, added in the dimensions. So you can also say, okay, I want to, this block needs to be kind of 25 and everything kind of wraps around it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> I really appreciate this change because I was stuck on always using auto. The other options were, you2�"8>)/%� q "8>Q
� ?� r know, basically unusable for what I wanted to do.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. Same here. Same here.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Set width. Yes, that’s really nice.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. So the query block gets just a little feature, but it’s definitely big from getting more customization, more flexibility into the block was that now you can exclude specific terms when you select a category or a tag. So you can say without this. Yeah, you can say multiple categories, but then you can say, oh, not this. Or say, okay, I want all the blocks. All the posts in my query loop, but not the site news or something like that. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah, exactly. Or categories.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> That’s really cool.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah. I’m always worried about the panel because, you know, we now have so many filters, but we are, I mean, it has to be easy for users. You have to make it as easy as possible, which means you’re entering either the, you know, the slug or the ID or the But then with all filters available, you know, visible, then it does get kind of wild. There’s a lot of features now in the interface.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Absolutely, absolutely, yeah. And then you install Ryan Welcher’s Advanced Query Block and you get even more because he has a whole other section about how to filter some of the queries.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah, it does feel a little bit like You’re taking what Ryan did and then just, you know, adding one thing at a time until we eventually begin to have something very, very similar. I mean, not exactly the same panels, but similar features.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>So yeah, I think when he finds time, he might update the Advanced Query block and take some of the filters out because they’re now in core, which is pattern for plugin developers that they say, okay, I did this for 8 years and now it’s actually in core and I can take it out. So yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah, except you still have to redo everything because, you know, different ways of using it, different names to have for everything.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, or people have used it for 8 years on their blog and now they have thousands of blogs in that. Yeah, don’t take it out. It just makes a migration path or something like that. That’s a whole different problem space here.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah, definitely.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. So as with the data views, there’s also a data form package or components there. And they also— it’s not going to be used yet for WordPress itself. But some of the site editor or WordPress core, but the site editor uses those components and you can also use them for your own plugins. So there’s an additional form field validator with minimum and max support. And then Form Blocks also switched to SVG icons instead of the Dashicons. So yeah, there are some smaller enhancements in those releases, but the team is working on the data views and the data form since last year in summer, I think for a whole year now to kind of get this all done for the whole WordPress ecosystem to use before it actually will also be used by core.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So yeah, so core in 7.0 is not going to use any of the new data forms for like posts or pages, but there is, I mean, again, we soon have better one, but the plan is to do at least a UI refresh so that the interface is actually going to be looking more like Gutenberg or block editor or site editor.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. Yeah. I’m not sure if it’s a UI refresh. I think it’s a CSS refresh.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Based on the component color scheme.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> As well as the width and this. Yeah. It’s not yet perfect and I’m not sure if it’s going to make it into 7.0. That’s true. But there is I can, I can link the track ticket into the show notes so people can kind of check up on that and also share opinions. Yeah, that’s in the stage where opinions matter and voices matter.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So it looks pretty nice.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> It looks nice.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Form field sizes changes and buttons.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. And it looks more like the site editor. So the mental model of, oh, this is the 15-year-old admin stuff. This is the new stuff kind of merges together. So it kind of bleeds into each other, which is nice because then you know you’re at the right side. We talked about Ryan Welcher before with his advanced query loop. He’s actually working on getting the icons block ready for 7.0. He has another week to merge the PR. And there is a big discussion that are the icons block really helpful if you can’t add custom icon collection? Or is it just with the Gutenberg icon collections? Is it still— it’s not as useful, but it’s still valuable to kind of put into core because the whole API to add additional custom icons collections might be for the next version.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So yeah, that’s, that’s how I feel as well. I mean, We cannot add custom icons now, but I can’t believe that the plan is that we will never be able to do it. But there is still that debate about, you know, users adding SVGs and are they safe or not. And that does not— doesn’t look like that’s going to be resolved, and you know, in our lifetime. But then again, I didn’t know AI was coming either this way, right? Maybe, maybe next year we’ll say something different. But, if we have developers adding what they would consider like icon sets, I, I mean, that has to be part of the, you know, the plan for the future, right?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Well, we’ll see what happens, what the powers that be will decide.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> But yeah, I’ve been watching the live streams where he’s been working on the, on the blog. So I guess we’ll see later this week if he’s going to—.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Well, next week now. I think he published another live stream yesterday, but I think that’s one of the decisions to make is for designers, the design leads or the Gutenberg leads to kind of say, yeah, we, we take it in 7.0 or we wait till we have API to update icons collections. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">List View and Navigation Improvements</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yeah, that the next one is what we already talked about, the ListView access for the button blocks, list blocks, social icons, and pattern editing. That’s in the sidebar. And then there will be some component overhauls. That’s for the primitives. This new UI component is actually for the admin redesign that has been in there. And it won’t come to WordPress 7.0, but it’s definitely interesting for people to try out if they want to. So the primitives are for the field, for the icon, for fieldset buttons, badges, select tooltips. So you have fixed components that you can use in your own apps. Editor performance has always been in the mind of the contributors. And there are a few— it’s all very technical, so I’m going to jump over that. That. But definitely the editor has been really fast on certain things. There’s also the data view has now density picker for styles and group headers and daytime formatting implementation. That’s very important, especially for localization. You get a total count in the footer. So the beta views have been really been involved now.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah, I really recommend that people do, plugin developers especially, go in and play around with it. I did with data forms and data views.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, they’re definitely stable. People always ask me kind of, are these data views stable? Well, they’re in active development, but Gutenberg is using them. So at some point they’re considered stable. Yeah. So they will still have additional features in there and additional attributes and variables, but the storyboard of those is really helpful in figuring out what’s all in there. The next thing is real-time collaboration, and I just found an update from yesterday from the project lead. It’s now ready to test in trunk of Gutenberg. They merged a sync provider that works on every WordPress installation. It’s via HTTP. And it even works on local Playground. I learned local Playground instances since the database is backed on local file system. But I’m not sure how collaboration would work because it’s my browser. So it probably, we need to kind of figure out how that should work. It probably is in Studio where you can have multiple people going to the same website, but the Playground browser. Probably doesn’t work. You don’t have to look for it to disable it. It’s disabled by default. And you can enable it through the settings, the writing settings. And it just has a button, a checkbox there, enable real-time collaboration. And then you can test it. You either use 20— no, it’s not yet in the latest Gutenberg release, though you can use the Gutenberg Nightly from the Gutenberg Times. You’ll find it in there. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the release candidate 20.6 that’s going to be run next week, just before WordPress beta. And then we see how that is. Real-time collaboration is really something that single bloggers won’t use. But if you have an editorial team of maybe 2 or 3, you definitely want to use it because it eliminates one step on your content creation, and that is the Google Docs collaboration, then the copy paste into WordPress from Google Docs.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark</em>: And maybe I’m guessing no more of that. Would you like to take over this post? Well, you know, someone is already editing, etc. We can now, you know, back together. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. People can work on the images and other people can proofread it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> I mean, I’m thinking it works really nice together with the new— what do you even call it in Webflow now? The new notes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Notes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Little notes that you can add about, hey, excuse me, user B, can you please add this tomorrow? And then, yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Right. What also happens with the notes is that there are a few more features in there now. And one of them is that you can now highlight partial paragraphs. At least that was planned. I haven’t tested it yet and I haven’t seen it on change logs. So I need to go back. Maybe I just overlooked it, which is highly possible and probable even. And I definitely gonna surface something for the source of truth for that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Of course, I’m thinking I can actually write my whole novel in WordPress and then just let my editor just log in and hey, you need to fix this.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, right, right, right.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Using the wrong tense in your text. Okay. Yeah. All right. Nice.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Nice. Yeah. Yeah. I really like it. Yeah. It’s an end. I hope we’re gonna get real soon, get it into the developer blog as well, because that’s where I kind of do my editing stuff. Yeah. So I, we have a few writers and always something new and Yeah, we need to kind of have that. And right now we are really doing everything in Google Docs and we need a first review and a second review and we’re all kind of in there. But when it goes into the website, so I want to start to actually compose in the developer blog and not go through the Google Docs section. And it would be so much easier to do this together because we have a few doing reviews. Yeah, and if you’re doing it all on the same page, that would be really cool.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> And I mean, I kind of like the revisions that are in WordPress when multiple people are editing, you know, compared to Google Docs.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There’s a whole PR about handling the revisions rate in the collaborative editing things. Yeah, read through this and said that, well, that’s mind-boggling that people can think about how to do the complicated things. But speaking about revisions, it’s probably not going to go in 7.0, but Ella has made— Ella Van Dorp has made some real progress in making revisions being block— no things about blocks. So you can have the comparison next to each other and you see actually how it’s going to be, how it looks in blocks and not just the text and the coding that you see now, which is kind of— you have to squint a lot to find things.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> So I’m really looking forward to that. I don’t think it’s going to come to 7.0 because it’s only the foundation will come to 7.0, but the interface is not yet built out yet. So yeah, I think we are through the most important stuff. Have you seen anything that you over— that we overlooked and that you want to talk about?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> No, they’re just so— the amount of changes and improvements is huge for 3 releases.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> So yeah, yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So I’m really looking forward to testing the navigation overlay now that I understand a little bit better how it’s supposed to work.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So that’s, you know, it’s my weekend fun, I guess.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> So weekend fun. Yeah. Some people have some interesting fun stuff. Yeah, I read somebody’s blog about— so I’m always thinking about doing a good life balance at work. And the interesting question is, if technology is your hobby, how do you get that? Yeah, because you definitely need to have a break from your screens and all that. So I’m kind of working on that because I need to get it out of my head that I want to— oh, I need to/%�"8>Q�� r "8>y
� ?� s test this and I need to do this, and then I’m sitting and now. Yeah, it is. Yeah, but it’s also fun to go outside and go into a museum, meet friends.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark: </em>Yeah, well, I have a screen in my pocket if I go outside.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, that’s true. You can read anywhere. And I actually, if you have never tried to do editing of a blog post on your mobile phone, do it now. The mobile app actually works. So that was kind of my fun yesterday when I was off the screen and I found out I wanted to add another link to my blog post and kind of was able to do it. I said, oh, this is cool because I get my ideas out of that. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Well, dear listeners, I think we are long enough into this show that we’re going to cut it off here now.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="0-word-press-release-information">Developing Gutenberg and WordPress</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a reminder, <strong>WordPress 7.0 Beta 1</strong> is scheduled for February 19th and is considered <em>Feature Freeze</em> during <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/7-0/">this release cycle</a>. Only bug fixes will make it into WordPress 7.0 after that date, until March 19, 2026, Release candidate 1 will be released. Around that time, the Field Guide will be published and it also comes with a <em>String Freeze</em>, so the translators of the Polyglotts team can start their work in translateing WordPress 7.0 into many languages.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Bud Kraus</strong> walks you through <a href="https://kinsta.com/blog/wordpress-blocks-telex/"><strong>building WordPress blocks with Telex</strong></a>, Automattic’s browser-based AI tool that generates block plugins from natural language prompts. You’ll see two real examples — a ChatGPT embed and an editor-only Social Draft block — highlighting both the speed of prototyping and the iterative refinement that vibe coding still demands. Telex handles scaffolding, building, and packaging without a local dev environment, though Kraus is clear that understanding block architecture remains essential once you move beyond experimentation.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And I just tested Telex again, and now it also can build block themes from a plain-english prompt. Try it out! </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ai-and-wordpress">Ai and WordPress</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Eric Karkovack</strong> sits down with <strong>Jason Adams</strong> on the WP Minute+ to discuss <a href="https://thewpminute.com/inside-the-ai-teams-big-plans-for-wordpress-7-0/">the AI Team’s big plans for WordPress 7.0</a>. You’ll hear how the Abilities API and MCP adapter lay the groundwork for plugin developers to integrate AI through the WordPress AI client, while WordPress 7.0 aims to ship foundational “under-the-hood” features for your projects. The conversation also covers how web hosts can simplify AI setup and why AI should remain a choice, not a mandate, across the ecosystem.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In her post <a href="https://humanmade.com/wordpress-for-enterprise/wordpress-from-cms-to-agentic-platform/"><strong>WordPress: From CMS to agentic platform</strong></a> Human Made’s <strong>Sarah Jones</strong> explains that WordPress is changing from a content management system to a more active platform. This change involves new tools like the Abilities API, which helps plugins function better, and MCP, which allows AI agents to use real site data. The important takeaway for businesses is that these agents have the same permissions as human users, maintaining control while benefiting from WordPress’s large network of 60,000 plugins, which offers advantages that closed systems can’t provide.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I revamped my workflow writing tutorials for the Developer Blog and shared some details on my personal blog: <strong><a href="https://icodeforapurpose.com/my-local-tutorial-writing-flow/">my local tutorial creation flow with Claude Code</a>.</strong> I walk you through how I build example plugins, draft developer blog posts in block notation, and publish directly to a local WordPress Studio site — all from the terminal. The setup relies on the WordPress MCP Adapter and a custom Content Abilities plugin to give Claude content access locally. The workflow saves me quite a bit of context switching.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to <strong>James LePage, </strong> WordPress.com launched the first hosted <a href="https://wordpress.com/blog/2026/02/05/claude-connector/"><strong>Claude Connector for WordPress</strong></a>, building on their earlier MCP access and OAuth 2.1 support. You can connect Claude to your site in a few clicks through the connectors directory, choose which tools to expose, and get site-specific answers grounded in your real data. Claude receives read-only access, so nothing on your site changes, and you can revoke the connection at any time.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">in <a href="https://www.briancoords.com/my-wp-woo-plugin-scaffolding-in-2026/"><strong>My WP/Woo Plugin Scaffolding in 2026</strong></a>, <strong>Brian Coords</strong> rethinks plugin scaffolding arguing that coding agents have made mustache-based templates like <code>create-block</code> less essential. He shares a functional Woo extension starter on GitHub, built around React admin screens, DataViews, Interactivity API blocks, and WordPress Scripts. Coords also makes a compelling case for WordPress to invest in strong documentation and example repos so any AI agent can build with core’s UI components successfully.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Pablo Postigo</strong> documents his <a href="https://pablopostigo.com/thoughts/experimenting-with-studio-claude-cowork/"><strong>experiment building a WordPress block theme with Studio and Claude Cowork</strong></a>. After spending four hours hand-crafting a theme with the Create Block Theme plugin, he started fresh with Claude’s Opus 4.5 model — and had a working theme in five minutes, complete with dark mode and custom animations. The post raises thoughtful questions about whether block themes remain the best abstraction now that AI can generate and modify WordPress code so efficiently.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In <a href="https://regionallyfamous.com/nobody-rips-out-the-plumbing/"><strong>Nobody Rips Out the Plumbing</strong></a>, <strong>Nick Hamze</strong> makes a spirited case that AI isn’t replacing WordPress — it’s enhancing it. Drawing on WordPress’s history of absorbing every supposed threat from mobile to JAMstack, the post argues that AI excels at generating the visible layer but still needs WordPress as the content management backbone underneath. With the Abilities API, MCP Adapter, and tools like Telex already shipping, the real question for your community isn’t the technology — it’s staying open and welcoming. It’s a great article to bookmark and share with people doubting WordPress. </p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide" />
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Rich Tabor</strong> argues that <a href="https://richtabor.com/api-ui"><strong>the API is becoming the new UI</strong></a> as AI agents emerge as the fastest-growing users of your products. Agents don’t need buttons or drag-and-drop chrome — they need clean schemas, structured data, and predictable endpoints. The visual editor shifts to a review-and-refine layer where you steer what the agent built. For WordPress, the block model already provides the stable foundation agents can write to, making what happens beneath the interface the most important design work ahead.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this live stream session, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/0o73vD9AYz0"><strong>Road to WordPress 7.0: Upcoming Features for AI Integration</strong></a> <strong>JuanMa Garrido</strong> walks you through the major AI features heading to WordPress 7.0, focusing on the WP AI client and core abilities. He explains how the WP AI client — currently available as a Composer package — provides a foundation layer managing credentials, caching, and HTTP transport for connecting to external models like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. Through a working demo, he shows you how WordPress can both consume AI models and, via the Abilities API, become a tool that agents interact with. He then dives into the core abilities proposal, defining built-in capabilities like create_post, get_post, find_posts, and update_post.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="the-specificity-cascade">The specificity cascade</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Before diving in, it helps to understand WordPress’s style hierarchy for block themes. Styles resolve in this order, with later layers overriding earlier ones on four levels.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Default </strong>mostly the styling and layouts of WordPress Core.</li>
<li><strong>Block-level</strong> styling can be altered with plugins and overwrites the Default styling.</li>
<li><strong>Theme-level </strong>styling is the whole suite of design tools controlled by the active Theme. It overwrites Default and block-level styles and layouts for instance (e.g. template and template parts).</li>
<li><strong>User-level</strong> styling uses the Design tools within the Site Editor to modify styles and layouts. These changes are stored in the database and overwrite the theme-level styling.</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Within each layer, more specific targets (per block, per element) override more general ones. This cascade is central to how all the methods below interact.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="1-theme-json-structured-style-properties">1. theme.json — structured style properties</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Who:</strong> Theme developers, child theme authors<br /><strong>Where:</strong> <code>theme.json</code> (root of your theme) → <code>styles</code> section</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is the <strong>recommended first choice</strong> for styling in block themes. Rather than writing raw CSS, you define styles as structured JSON properties — colors, typography, spacing, borders, shadows, and more — at the global, element, or per-block level.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can use hardcoded values directly in <code>styles</code>, and they work just fine:</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This token-based approach pays off in a few ways. When a user changes “Primary” in the Global Styles UI, every element referencing that token updates automatically. It keeps your theme internally consistent — no risk of one button being <code>#0073aa</code> while another drifted to <code>#0074ab</code>. And it makes global style variations far simpler to create: a dark mode variation only needs to redefine the palette, not hunt down every color reference in styles. Either approach is valid, but tokens tend to save time as a theme matures.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Advantages:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Automatic integration with the Global Styles UI:</strong> Users can view and override your styles in the Site Editor without writing CSS.</li>
<li><strong>WordPress manages specificity for you:</strong> the “base → theme → user” cascade works correctly.</li>
<li><strong>Generates CSS custom properties automatically</strong> (e.g. <code>--wp--preset--color--primary</code>).</li>
<li><strong>Visual parity</strong> between editor and front end.</li>
<li><strong>Machine-readable: </strong>other tools and plugins can consume and extend these styles.</li>
<li><strong>Reduces the amount of CSS</strong> enqueued overall.</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Limitations:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Can only express what <a href="https://schemas.wp.org/trunk/theme.json.">theme.json’s schema</a> supports (growing with each release, but not yet comprehensive).</li>
<li>Pseudo-classes like <code>:hover</code>, <code>:focus</code>, <code>:active</code>, and <code>:visited</code> are supported for elements such as links and buttons (e.g., <code>"elements": { "link": { ":hover": { "color": { "text": "var:preset|color|contrast" } } } }</code>), but pseudo-elements like <code>::before</code> and <code>::after</code>, media queries, and more complex selectors are not available in the structured properties — use the <code>css</code> property (#2) or block stylesheets (#3) for those.</li>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Who:</strong> Site owners, content editors (no code required)<br /><strong>Where:</strong> <strong>Appearance → Editor → Styles</strong></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The visual interface for customizing your site’s appearance. Users can adjust typography, colors, spacing, and layout for the entire site, individual elements, or specific block types — all without writing any code.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img alt="" class="wp-image-44500" height="569" src="https://i0.wp.com/gutenbergtimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Screenshot-2026-02-24-at-18.40.45.png?resize=652%2C569&ssl=1" width="652" /></figure>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The <strong>Style Book</strong> helps you keep the overall context for your styles and you and double-check on how blocks behave when Styles change. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Advantages:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>No code required — fully visual.</li>
<li>Highest specificity: user styles override theme defaults.</li>
<li>Changes are stored in the database (<code>wp_global_styles</code> post type), separate from theme files, so they survive theme updates.</li>
<li>Supports global style variations — users can switch between whole-site style presets.</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Limitations:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Limited to what the UI controls expose (which grows with each WordPress release).</li>
<li>For anything the UI can’t handle, users fall back to the Additional CSS options below.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="6-additional-css">6. Additional CSS </h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Who:</strong> Site owners with CSS knowledge<br /><strong>Where:</strong> Appearance → Editor → Styles → three-dot menu (⋮) → Additional CSS</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is the block theme replacement for the classic Customizer’s Additional CSS panel. A free-form CSS editor for site-wide custom styles.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Advantages:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Free-form CSS handles any valid CSS.</li>
<li>Stored in the database as part of Global Styles (not in theme files), so it’s theme-specific but survives code deployments.</li>
<li>Preview changes before saving.</li>
<li>Revision history (last 25 versions).</li>
<li>Higher specificity than theme styles.</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Limitations:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Not scoped to blocks — loads globally.</li>
<li>No syntax highlighting or code formatting.</li>
<li>Intended as a last resort for styles that can’t be achieved through theme.json or the visual Styles interface.</li>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Add custom class names to a specific block instance. The CSS itself must be defined elsewhere (style.css, block stylesheets, Additional CSS, etc.). As a user the global Additional CSS is probably the most practical place. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Advantages:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Precision targeting of individual block instances rather than all blocks of a type.</li>
<li>Perfect for one-off styling: a highlighted paragraph, a special call to action, etc.</li>
<li>Multiple classes can be added, separated by spaces.</li>
<li>Works with any CSS source — just define the class styles somewhere.</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Limitations:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Only adds class names — you still need to write the CSS elsewhere.</li>
<li>Per-instance, which means it doesn’t scale well for repeated patterns (use block style variations for those).</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="9-global-style-variations-theme-level-style-presets">9. Global Style Variations (Theme-Level Style Presets)</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Who:</strong> Theme developers<br /><strong>Where:</strong> JSON files in the theme’s <code>/styles</code> directory (at the top level, not in a <code>/blocks</code> subfolder)</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Provide entire alternative site-wide style schemes. Each variation is a JSON partial that can override settings and styles from the main theme.json. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since WordPress 6.6, style variations are further classified into three subtypes based on their content. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A variation file that defines only <code>settings.color</code> or <code>styles.color</code> is automatically recognized as a <strong>color variation</strong>, appearing under <strong>Styles → Colors → Palette. </strong></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One that defines only <code>settings.typography</code> or <code>styles.typography</code> becomes a <strong>typography variation</strong>, appearing under <strong>Styles → Typography → Presets. </strong></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Files that touch other properties remain full <strong>theme style variations</strong>. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Color and typography variations can be mixed and matched with each other and with theme variations. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To keep the <code>/styles</code> folder organized, it’s recommended to use subfolders (e.g., <code>/styles/color</code>, <code>/styles/typography</code>, <code>/styles/global</code>). </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="10-block-style-variations-json-php-and-javascript">10. Block Style Variations (JSON, PHP, and JavaScript)</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Who:</strong> Theme developers, plugin developers<br /><strong>Where:</strong> JSON files in <code>/styles</code>, PHP via <code>register_block_style()</code>, or JavaScript via <code>wp.blocks.registerBlockStyle()</code></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Block style variations give content creators pre-made styling options in the Styles panel — like “Rounded” or “Outline” on core blocks. You can register them via JSON files in <code>/styles</code> (WordPress 6.6+, no PHP needed), PHP with <code>register_block_style()</code>, or JavaScript. The JSON-based methods integrate with Global Styles so users can customize them in the Site Editor; <code>inline_style</code>, <code>style_handle</code>, and JavaScript methods do not.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For a thorough walkthrough of all six registration methods — with code examples, a companion theme and plugin on GitHub, and a comparison table showing which methods support Global Styles — see the comprehensive guide <strong><a href="https://wordpress.com/blog/2025/05/07/custom-block-styles/">Mastering Custom Block Styles in WordPress: 6 Methods for Theme and Plugin Developers</a>.</strong></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="11-section-styles">11. Section Styles </h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Who:</strong> Theme developers<br /><strong>Where:</strong> JSON files in <code>/styles</code> directory, targeting mostly group or column blocks. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Section styles are more of a convention than a separate feature. They are essentially Block Style Variations. The difference is naming the variation slug: <code>style-1</code>, <code>style-2</code>, etc. so that they can be reused across themes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since WordPress 6.6, block style variations can style nested inner blocks and elements, enabling “section styling” — where a Group block’s style variation changes the appearance of all blocks within it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Twenty Twenty Five theme showcases this convention quite nicely. </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="what-s-the-difference-between-wp-enqueue-style-and-add-editor-style">What’s the difference between wp_enqueue_style and add_editor_style?</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>wp_enqueue_style()</code> is the general-purpose function for loading stylesheets — you choose where it loads by picking your hook (<code>wp_enqueue_scripts</code> for the frontend, <code>enqueue_block_editor_assets</code> for the editor). When you use it on the editor hook, the stylesheet loads into the entire editor page, including the UI chrome (sidebar, toolbar, etc.).</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>add_editor_style()</code> is specifically designed for visual parity between the editor and the frontend. WordPress takes the stylesheet you pass it and automatically scopes every selector to <code>.editor-styles-wrapper</code>, so your styles only affect the content canvas and don’t bleed into the editor UI. In block themes it’s typically called from an <code>after_setup_theme</code> hook — this is how themes get their <code>style.css</code> to apply inside the editor.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The practical upshot: if you want your theme’s frontend styles to look the same in the editor, use <code>add_editor_style()</code>. If you need to style the editor UI itself (like a custom sidebar panel) or need fine-grained control over loading conditions, dependencies, and versioning, use <code>wp_enqueue_style()</code> on the appropriate hook.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Advantages:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Familiar workflow for developers with classic theme experience.</li>
<li>Good for truly global CSS that should always be available (e.g., custom utility classes, print styles, CSS resets beyond what theme.json handles).</li>
<li>Full CSS syntax, syntax highlighting, and preprocessor support.</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Limitations:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Needs to be enqueued like any other stylesheet file (see #13) </li>
<li>Loads on every page, even if the styles aren’t needed — no per-block performance optimization.</li>
<li>Not integrated with the Global Styles UI.</li>
<li>Not the recommended approach for block-specific styling; use block stylesheets instead (#12)</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="decision-guide">Decision Guide</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Start here:</strong> Use <strong>theme.json structured properties</strong> (#1) for everything they support. This gives you the best integration with the Global Styles system and lets users customize your styles.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Need CSS that theme.json properties can’t express?</strong> Use the <strong>theme.json <code>css</code> property</strong> (#2) for small additions or <strong>block stylesheets</strong> (#12) for anything substantial.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Want to offer style choices to content editors?</strong> Create <strong>block style variations</strong> (#10) so they appear in the Styles panel.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Site owner making tweaks?</strong> Use the <strong>Global Styles UI</strong> (#5) first, then fall back to <strong>Additional CSS</strong> (#7 or #7) for anything the visual interface can’t handle.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Need to target one specific block instance?</strong> Use <strong>Additional CSS Class(es)</strong> (#8) and define the class in your preferred CSS source.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Building a child theme?</strong> Override the parent via <strong>child theme.json</strong> (#4) and add block stylesheets as needed.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Need to sync user edits with theme files</strong>? Use the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/create-block-theme/">Create Block Theme plugin</a>. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Beta 2 updates and highlights</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress 7.0 Beta 2 contains more than 70 updates and fixes across the Editor and Core since the Beta 1 release. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Each beta cycle focuses on bug fixes; and more are on the way with your help through testing. You can browse the technical details for all issues addressed since Beta 1 using these links:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/commits/wp/7.0?since=2026-02-20&until=2026-02-26">GitHub commits for 7.0</a> since February 20, 2026</li>
<li><a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&changetime=02%2F20%2F2026..02%2F26%2F2026&milestone=7.0&col=id&col=milestone&col=owner&col=type&col=priority&order=id">Closed Trac tickets for 7.0</a> since February 20, 2026</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Beta 2 also contains a new feature</strong>!</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI provider management is more intuitive in 7.0 Beta 2 with a new Connectors UI dashboard page. WordPress users can now manage external AI connections in a central place in wp-admin, under Settings > Connectors. The new UI enables users to add, delete, and update external connections. It is powered by an extensible, route-based architecture that allows plugins and themes to hook into the page and expand its functionality. The new Connectors page builds on PHP-based script and menu infrastructure, and adds route components powered by <code>@wordpress/components</code> and <code>@wordpress/admin-ui</code>. A new <code>connections-wp-admin-init</code> hook and registration APIs allow plugins to integrate cleanly. This makes managing external connections easier while giving developers a clearer path to extend the experience.</p>

The luxury-goods industry has roughly tripled in size since 2000; its €358bn in annual sales—half a Walmart or Amazon, give or take—betrays how thoroughly mainstream supposed exclusivity has become. Fifty years ago, Louis Vuitton had but two outlets, both in France. These days it has two stores in Ningbo, China’s 34th-biggest city. Exclusive, <em>moi</em>?</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So on the podcast today, we have Jonathan Desrosiers. Jonathan has been involved with WordPress for almost two decades, both as a user and a contributor. He’s a principal software engineer at Bluehost, where his role sees him sponsored to work on WordPress through the Five for the Future program. Over the years, he’s become a Core committer, and has spent many hours thinking about how to enhance the contributor experience, and make it easier for people to get involved in the project.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this episode we discuss how WordPress releases might become more impactful by synchronizing them with flagship community events like WordCamps and State o4�� R�/0�\M | R�W
� ?� }f the Word. A recent experiment of combining a major release with a live event spark some excitement, and Jonathan shares insights on the logistics behind such synchronized moments, the challenges posed by international holidays, and regional scheduling, and the broader vision for connecting releases with community gatherings.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We also get into the challenging landscape of the WordPress community, how it’s recovering from the effects of COVID, the struggle to rebuild local Meetups, and efforts like mentorship and educational initiatives to bring in new contributors, particularly from younger generations.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jonathan reflects on the importance of making release moments engaging and fun, akin to the anticipation of a new TV series or software launch, and the role of AI and open source in empowering a new wave of builders.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so without further delay, I bring you Jonathan Desrosiers.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I am joined on the podcast by Jonathan Desrosiers. Hello.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:06] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> Hi, how are you?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:07] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, good. Jonathan’s joining me again. Most recently, I think we were at WordCamp somewhere. I can’t exactly remember where, but I was chatting with him and Joe Dolson if memory serves. And a very different conversation to be had today because Jonathan has been mulling over how we can make releases impactful, and also how we can bind those to community events, particularly flagship WordPress events like WordCamps, things like that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Before we begin that conversation, Jonathan, I wonder, it’s a bit of a banal question, but people like to have the context of who you are. So would you mind just, very quick potted bio. Just tell us who you are and what you do in the WordPress space.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:44] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> Sure. So my name is Jonathan Desrosiers. I am a principal software engineer at Bluehost and I am sponsored there, the majority of my time is sponsored to contribute back to the WordPress project through the Five for the Future program. And so I’ve been there, probably since 2018, I think. And I’ve been a Core committer for almost eight years now.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ve been involved as an accredited contributor for 13 years now. And so I’ve been involved with WordPress for over a decade in many ways, contributing, but also as a user for almost, geez, almost two decades now I think. And so, I just had that realisation, it’s been a really long time. It’s been almost 20 years that I’ve been at least using WordPress in some way.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But week to week I do a lot of thinking about contributor experience, how we can automate things, or how we can make our processes more clear so that more people can participate. And just generally making sure that everybody has what they need to be successful. And whether that’s mentorship, or they have blockers they need, certain people to come together and discuss, and get a consensus or understanding, you know, how the sausage is made in some way.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:04:56] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I think it’s fair to say that you are very much connected to the WordPress project. I think it’s the fulcrum of your working life, and you are working at a very high level as well. So Core committer, things like that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, in the recent past, it was probably, I want to say December in the year 2025, we had a kind of strange event happened. Not strange in the sense of weird, but strange in the sense of different, unusual. A release of WordPress came out and it coincided with an actual event. Now, in this case, it was State of the Word. So there was a bunch of people, and I believe they were gathered in New York. I could be wrong about that, but I think it was in.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:05:33] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> It was in San Francisco.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:05:35] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> San Francisco. Okay, there we go. Thank you for the correction. It was in San Francisco and the idea was that the release of WordPress would go out and it would be bound to this event. And there was this almost, how can we describe it? It was almost like television, basically. It was being filmed and streamed live all over the place. And there was this feeling of a big red button. There was a lot of people gathered around and they all sort of leaned in and pushed a big red button, and the release of WordPress came out.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, I don’t know if the button actually did anything or if it was really sort of smoke and mirrors. I like the idea that the button actually did signal the release, but I don’t know if that’s the case. But the point was, there was a little bit of theater put into it. There was this idea that, okay, we’ve got this live event which lots of people will be watching. We’ve got a release which we need to do, which lots of people will be looking forward to. Why don’t we sort of combine the two things?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so it was a bit of PR really. And it also felt a bit like sort of marketing, and I’m going to use gimmick in the real sense of the word. So not like gimmick as in something pointless, but gimmick as in something different, unique. Something to draw your attention and grab you in. And I think the idea has been proposed that in the year 2026, the flagship events, the flagship WordCamps, so I’ll list them in order in which they’re happening.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So we’ve got WordCamp Asia, and then we’ve WordCamp Europe, and then we’ve got WordCamp US. The three releases of WordPress during 2026 will happen in tandem with those events. Now, why? Why would we want to do this?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:07:12] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> Yeah, so I don’t think it was intentional, but the schedule just happened to coincide. You know, we were working on 6.9 and we realised, oh, the release date is the same as State of the Word. And so, I can’t remember who originally had the idea, but it was mentioned that it would be really neat to just be able to publish it live at the event and celebrate that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I guess the main reason behind it is just that, the more I’m involved in open source, the more I realise that the code and the license and all those things are important, but the most important thing underneath any open source project is the community that’s involved with it. And what better way to celebrate our achievements and our accomplishments when we get together in different ways.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so, typically that’s in Slack or social media, right? We celebrate a release and we share the posts and say what we’re excited about. But we also get together at different events and we do the same thing, right? We talk about what we’re excited about, what we’re working on, what’s coming, or what we think should change in certain ways. Why not just do that at the same time and create even a more ultimate celebration, right? Another community moment where people have another opportunity to feel involved in something greater than them.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:08:25] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Do you have any notion that this is going to be carried forward? I mean, I know that there was obviously a bit of serendipity in how it happened. The coincidence of timing and things like that. But do you have every confidence that this will happen, that Asia will get a release, Europe will get a release, and the US will get a release. In the year 2026, do you think that’s going to actually occur?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:08:46] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> We will see. So as the proposed schedule is for this calendar year, right? There’s three releases. Unfortunately, it’s tough because the people planning WordCamps don’t plan around our software’s release cadence, right? They plan around budget, regional holidays, travel factors, weather, cost of venues and availability.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so, you know, it’s not reasonable for the Core team and the people working on releases to say you have to have an event in a certain month, right? And so this year, some people may not have noticed, but WordCamp Asia is in April this year, which it’s been in February so far in the previous editions. And WordCamp Europe is in June, which it’s traditionally usually in.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so that’s not a big enough gap to have another major release. And so the proposed schedule is saying, let’s release during WordCamp Asia, let’s release during WordCamp US, and then we’ll release again at the end of the year around State of the Word. We don’t have a date for State of the Word yet, but it’s around where we think it might be.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And likewise, creating a schedule for releases is incredibly hard because if we don’t release in the first week of April, for example, then I believe the whole month of April has major religious holidays scattered throughout it in different areas of the world. And if we released in March, that was way too soon because we started the alpha phase of 7.0, that starts when the previous release is branched, like it’s separated from the primary branch in the code base, and that happened in like November.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But there’s US Thanksgiving, there’s Hanukkah, there’s Christmas, there’s New Year’s, right? A lot of people in the community take the majority of December off, and so that’s like a washed month, right? And so we would’ve had essentially four weeks until the feature complete point of the release. So that was too soon. And so it’s just as hard to plan the release schedule in a way that doesn’t negatively impact everybody as best as possible as it is to plan these major events.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so I can’t say that it will be a guarantee going forward. We’re trying it out this year to see how it goes and what we can learn from it. We felt that the State of the Word was successful and it was exciting. It was unique in its own ways. And so we want to try, continue trying this this year and see how it goes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:11:06] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Gosh, the piece that you just said there about the religious holidays and what have you, that really opens up a really interesting discussion. Because it is quite likely, I imagine, that the listenership to this podcast probably never gave that any thought, that this kind of international calendar, be it a religious calendar or maybe just a vacation calendar in certain parts of the globe would really impact when the release can happen.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because there are people who are committing to the project, and they tend to be in certain jurisdictions. And so if there are people who are on, I don’t know, a week long holiday, nationally, in a specific jurisdiction, and they typically are a large part of the team that are committing in various different respects, that’s important, but probably something that many people would not have thought about.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, in terms of these releases then, is the idea, well, I’ll backpedal a little bit. It occurred to me that quite a lot of the people who may be involved in releases are the very kind of people who would find themselves also at some of these flagship events. Now, obviously it’s not going to be 100%, maybe it’s 25% of the people who are release leads and part of the teams that are committing here, there, and everywhere.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I was worried that there’d be people on airplanes, people trying to land and orientate themselves in the country that they’ve landed in in the same period of time when they would’ve been heads down, in their office, in their study, figuring out the bits that might be broken with the upcoming release. Is that a thing? Is that part of the jigsaw puzzle of this?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:12:32] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> It definitely is, yeah. With any release, there’s no time of the day where everyone on the planet is available to work on something, right? And so another part of this is that, in a way it forces us to have a major release in different geographic areas so that everywhere on the globe there’s a WordPress release that they may be able to participate in, right?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so, likewise with travel, right? So when we assemble a release squad, we have to think, okay, it’s based in, for example, this one was planned to be released at WordCamp Asia in India. So we want to make sure we have a mix of people that are in different areas of the world. And not just so that there’s always people around to respond to things throughout the entire cycle, but we also want to have people that are present and not present at the event that are participating. And maybe the wifi is completely unusable or maybe something happens, right? So it’s good to have people that are there and not.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And that was part of the announcement too, is that we tried to underscore the point that it would be great if everybody could go to WordCamp Asia, but traveling is not a requirement to participate in the release at all. And that’s a good thing, because it’s good to have people in multiple areas, multiple time zones.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With WordCamp Asia, once contributor day ends, it’s the beginning of the US daytime, right? And so those contributors can sign off and there’s people around to help carry that torch and continue on if there’s any follow-up issues or anything that needs to be investigated.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so, yeah, that’s also a consideration is how, I guess we can call it global coverage, right? Like, how can we ensure we have global coverage so that there are people with the right skill sets, and right availability, and right knowledge, to be able to take on certain tasks or responsibilities or perform investigations, whatever may need to be done as part of that release process.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:14:26] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I, like you, am really in the weeds of the WordPress project. I obsess about it in a way that’s probably not all that healthy. I’m very well aware of when the next release is coming up. I’m usually fairly aware of what is going to be in that release. But I imagine most people using WordPress, it’s probably a bit of a surprise. You know, they open up WordPress one day and either it has updated. If it’s a point release, probably it’s a more manual thing, if it’s a major release, I should say, but if it’s a more minor release, maybe things have upda0�\M R�Wڬ�� } R�
� ?� ~ted in the background during the course of the night and what have you.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I’m thinking of TV series now. So when a successful TV series has a new season, there’s all this fanfare and buildup and you know it’s coming. You see the commercials, you see the adverts. And the moment that TV series comes around, you are excited, you’re ready to go. And I remember back in the day, this is going back a long time, when Firefox would make a release, they sort of did this thing like, I don’t know, every 18 months or something like that. Not like now where it’s every couple of hours it seems, that browsers update themselves.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But when it went to, I don’t know, 3.6 or something like that, there was this big fanfare, this big moment. Everybody took stock and what have you. And are you trying to encourage a bit of that? Are you trying to create a bit of razzmatazz and drama and intrigue and awareness and all of that around the release, and make it feel like an important thing, which with the best will in the world, it kind of has not been more recently? Most people, it just updates. There’s no fanfare whatsoever. But we can leverage it to make it important, significant, fun, interesting.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:16:04] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> Yes and no, right? Like, we want to celebrate the community and the work we’re doing now. I actually would love it if we could get to a point where we’re releasing every, I don’t know, every week or every month even, right? Not have to wait every three or four months. There’s some value in having that penultimate moment, right? Of, we’ve worked for three months on this. But there’s also aspects of the world where we expect things faster and more instant and waiting for the patch that you submit in January to be released in April is not really, like maybe you lose interest in contributing in that time, right? So there’s many different things like that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some things that you mentioned really resonated with me as far as awareness of what’s coming or like what’s been done. In a way, the fact that users are not so aware of what’s being added or what their site has updated to, it’s a sign of the success of auto updates and how seamless those are.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because for a little while I’ve been considering, when you update WordPress manually, you’re redirected into the about page in the dashboard, right? And every release, there’s a new about page that’s designed, it works hand in hand with, we call them the micro sites, which is like a wordpress.org’s landing page that showcases the release. And it just explains all the features that have been added.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But you only see that if you either go to the about page manually or you manually click update when you’re in the dashboard. And a site might have many administrators that only the person that actually updates will see it. And so I’ve been thinking about ways that we can make users more aware that their site is updated. Or maybe that’s not the important part, but maybe it’s just the important part to make them aware of the new features that are available to them, right?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Maybe we put some type of a widget on the dashboard where we link off to a Learn WordPress page that teaches you about how to use the Notes feature that got added. The other thing too is you mentioned about the TV shows advertise when they’re coming up, right? Maybe we need to do a better job of advertising what’s coming up and encouraging people to opt in early and test.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And in a way a more rapid release cycle leads to that because many of the browsers have different feature flags and they build features out in different branches, and you can actually opt into testing a specific feature and that would get turned on, but maybe not all the other things that they’re working on until it’s ready.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so maybe we need different ways for people to get involved testing, or trying things out earlier to understand what’s coming, but also to give us valuable feedback, how it works on their site, what breaks, what it doesn’t interact with. All of that is very valuable feedback, and we should always be striving to get more testers and more awareness around what’s coming because it creates new feedback loops that are valuable for different reasons.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:18:58] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, it’s kind of interesting, and what I’m about to say, I am sure that a significant proportion of the listeners to this podcast will say, no, Nathan, we don’t want this. But here’s a proposal then. Here’s an idea. And again, I’m going to hark back to the TV series.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The TV series, typically when they’ve started advertising between other television programs, that TV series has been made, the footage has been shot, the graphics have been done. It’s basically ready to roll. And then they parcel all that up and then they release little snippets of what’s coming so that you can prepare yourself and get excited.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I kind of wondered if something like that in the dashboard, akin to the about us page, but in the run up to the release. So all the graphics have been made. We know basically what’s going to drop in this release. Now it may get tweaked here and there at the edges, but we know what’s coming. I’ve always thought that would be a really nice idea.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I would love to see that. And I realise a proportion of people would think, no, we really don’t want that. But I think that’s a perfect opportunity to get people drawn into, oh, this is coming. Collaborative editing, that’s about to happen is it? Gosh, that’s really interesting.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then this call to action could be dropped in, but we need some testing around the edges of it. We’ve got the bare bones of it, but we need some more eyeballs on it and what have you. So that proactive demonstration of what’s going to happen rather than the reactive, your site has been updated, here’s what there is, which is already there. This is more of a here’s what’s coming, get excited, get involved, yada yada.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:20:29] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> In some ways the feature branch model that I described lends to that, right? Because then it’s not, here comes this feature and then, oh, actually we left it out of this release, right? It’s its own thing that’s being worked on. And then when it’s released, it’s released, and it’s here. But it doesn’t make it any less, any worse off than other things that are shipping in the release, right? Because it’s its own thing, and it’s its own, it has its own criteria to be ready, in a state that we’re comfortable with shipping it and supporting it forever because of backwards compatibility.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so yeah, I think that what you’re describing is essentially what I was describing, a little bit more detail. And there’s of course a lot of nuance there around how often do we do that? We have a lot of parts of the release process that need to be automated before we can even consider that. The different parts of the block editor are, many of it is managed as packages, NPM packages. And so a lot of those are so interconnected, it’s a little difficult to release just one feature because they’re all being updated at the same time.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so like there’s some architectural things to think about around that. Like, how do we compartmentalize things better to be able to do that? Make sure we don’t accidentally include something that’s not ready but when we intended to include a certain feature. There’s a lot to unpack there and I don’t know that we’ll ever get there just because of the sheer size of the project and how, backwards compatibility, how long we’ve been around.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I think that training users that auto updates are important to have enabled that are quality, you know, not shipping things that break people’s sites as much as possible, even though it’s unavoidable because of how flexible WordPress is.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After 6.9 came out, I was looking into some of the data because I had this gut feeling that 6.9 was being updated to, slower than other releases. And so for a little while I was looking at that. And after about a month, I was like, okay, this is just a hunch. Let me go and actually look at the data around this.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so what I noticed was actually the opposite. When I looked at, I created 5% thresholds for the percentage of total WordPress sites. And when I looked at the data, I realised that for the last 10 releases, let’s see here. So every major version of the last six to eight releases has passed 35% of all WordPress sites in two days or less. And also every one of these columns as far as percentages is increasing.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so WordPress 6.9 reached the 50% threshold of all WordPress sites in 10 days, and that’s four days faster than 6.8, which was the next fastest. And currently we’re approaching 65% threshold of all WordPress sites. And only six other releases have done that so far. All of them are the most recent ones, except for 4.9, which we all know had a waiting period for Gutenberg. And the only release the past 70% was 6.8.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so I’m interested to see how this trend continues because it’s showing an acceleration of adoption for each new major version of WordPress. They’re getting installed faster, by more people. It’s a sign that we’re shipping stable software. People are more confident. People are opting into auto updates for major versions. And in general, it’s just a quality sign that we’re doing something right here. And so how can we lean into that more?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:23:52] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Okay, let’s pivot a little bit. Let’s sort of bind community, we did touch on this a minute ago, but let’s spend a little bit of time binding the community to these kind of things because right at the start you mentioned that really the community is the underpinnings of your interest in the WordPress space. The code is obviously tremendously important, but without the community there is no code basically.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so we’ve got these events. We’re trying to create interest around the WordCamps and the releases at the same time. But just looking back over the last period of time, let’s go for year, two years, something like that. I don’t know what your spidey sense is telling you, but my spidey sense is telling me that that community portion, it’s sort of slowly but surely, it feels like it’s withering away slightly.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’m not really picking up on like this angry mob of people who are stamping their feet and shouting, I don’t want anything to do with the WordPress community and then disappearing. I mean maybe there’s a few of those, probably, somewhere. But I don’t get a sense of that. I just get this sense of sort of, somebody’s pulled the plug out of a bathtub and it’s slowly sort of draining away.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Attendance down at WordCamps. Meetups struggling to sort of get the numbers that they had several years ago. And so it would feel like at the moment, you would have to be watching the news fairly closely, especially right now. So at the beginning of February, 2026 is when we’re recording this. There does seem to be a push from the senior leadership to make WordPress Meetups and things like that, a much more central part.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then there’s this whole broad spectrum of educational initiatives as well going on. So we’ve got WP Campus Connect, we’ve got the Credits Program and a whole smorgasbord of other things which is happening.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So there’s no question there, really, what I’m just trying to do is give you the opportunity to bind the two things, the WordPress community and the software, and really just talk about whether you’ve noticed the same thing as me, where there’s this slow, withering of the community. And maybe this is a part of just sort of getting it all back together, making events like this a bit more fun and interesting.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:26:02] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> Yeah. I think there’s a few things there to call out. The first observation I’ve had over the last year is there’s a palpable excitement to build with WordPress again. I’m noticing there’s a renewed enthusiasm. People, they want to move on from certain things, and they want to get back to building experiences and tools and things on the WordPress platform.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But there’s also, I think we’re dealing with some, in some ways, a long tail COVID effect, right? There was obviously, you know, a lack of in-person events for a while, and during that time a lot of the people who were keeping Meetups alive and WordCamps alive, they moved on, or burnt out, and chose not to return after. And so there was a break in that pipeline of, usually there’s a lead doing that and there’s other people learning under them, and then they move up and take over. And that was totally disrupted and I think that we’re still trying to rebuild that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I think that it manifests differently in different areas too. So for example, the APAC WordCamp community is very strong and they have lots of WordCamps. But in the United States, there was one WordCamp that wasn’t WordCamp US last year, I think, Montclair. And I lead the Boston WordPress Meetup and so finding speakers is difficult. Getting people to come out is difficult as well. And I think those are partially just larger societal shifts where it’s harder to get people to come out to certain things. And we just have different preferences as far as how we consume information or learn.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I’m still not sure why the difference in the geographical areas, and I think it may have to do more with, APAC is a more emerging market when it comes to WordPress, right? Like their community, especially in certain areas has been growing and is much newer than it is in the US. And so I think that they’re growing their communities for the first time in many ways, right? But in the US it’s the second or third or fourth time that we’re growing those communities or revitalising those communities. And the form that that needs to take, I think is a little different. And I’m not clear on what the holdup is there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I do know that a big factor of that is to get new people involved with WordPress and interested in WordPress, and that’s why some of the priorities that Mary Hubbard published, and one of them in particular is education and awareness and all of those different things that work together in the form of the WP Credits program, mentorship programs. There’s been the contributor mentorship programs that happen every few quarters in WordPress ڬ�� R��i�� ~ R��
� ?� over the last few years.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And we’ve seen some really great contributors who were mentored in that program, and then the next time the program happened, they mentored, and then they became a team lead, and then they served on release squads. And so we’ve seen some really great contributed journeys through those paths.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:28:53] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I’ll just sort of run through with you the kind of things that I’ve noticed in my part of the world. So I think COVID is an enormous part of it. It upended so many ordinary things in life. So, as an example, you know, people obviously, they ceased going out, and then that pattern of not going out became habituated. People didn’t go out because that’s not what you do.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And in the UK we have this institution called the pub, which I’m sure you’ve heard of. And it used to be that prior to COVID, the pub was the real centerpiece of many communities. You know, towns, suburbs, what have you. Everybody would coalesce around the pub and that was very important. Since the pandemic, a lot of those institutions, they don’t really function in that way anymore. You know, there isn’t the throughput, there isn’t the footfall and so they go out of business.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And the same, I presume is true in the WordPress space. You know, we’re trying to encourage people to get up, leave their home, spend money on transportation. Obviously there’s the time cost, the sunk cost of time and what have you as well. It’s difficult, but it makes me more sanguine that it’s not just like, it’s not just a WordPress thing, you know, it’s the whole of society.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But like you said, I get the feeling that the WordPress community has begun to address it. And the way it’s being addressed is through these educational initiatives. Trying to get a throughput of younger talent. So get them at the school age, get them at the university age, and then hopefully they will have an interest. They’ll get a flavor of what it means to be involved in these Meetups and things like that and hopefully take those on.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s a laudable goal. I hope that it has the capacity to transfer. You know, so in a decade’s time we can look back and say, look what happened. This young blood emerged. I think it’s yet to be seen. I think certainly in the area, the locale where I am, the United Kingdom, we don’t see evidence of that yet. Maybe in the US that would also mirror.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But from everything that I’ve learned and the people that I’ve talked to for this podcast and events in Asia and places like that, that seems to be a really different picture. There seems to be a real thirst for solutions like WordPress. Because there’s a direct kind of career path there. You know, you can pick up a free piece of open source software, crack open a laptop and get going and start to sell your services far and wide. And so again, there’s no question there, just observations that I hope these initiatives bear fruit. But it’ll be interesting to see. Only time will tell.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:31:16] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> I think at the root of what we’re dealing with is that people are motivated by what they see as valuable, right? If they’re not going out to events, so they’re not engaging with the community, they don’t recognise or feel that it’s valuable to them in some way. And so we’re having to reprove why communities are valuable, why open source is valuable, why you should care.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then the other aspect of it is, you know, overall project sustainability. We can’t just keep getting older. We need to have a balance of new, younger people that get involved as well.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so one way to lean into getting younger is obviously, like you said, to approach people at schooling age, right? Or university, and teach them about open source. Show them how to contribute, how to be a part of a community, and why it’s valuable. But we have to be really careful because we need to be prepared to, I’ve written in the past that we need to be prepared to activate these contributors, right?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So it’s one thing to make them aware of this, but it’s another thing to make sure they’re properly supported and we give them pathways to grow. We give them clear criteria to be successful, clear projects to work on, so they understand what they’re doing and what they’re trying to accomplish.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And I think that this is one thing that is also a benefit of having the releases coincide with these major events because new people are getting together already, so why not use that opportunity?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the goals that every table lead and every organiser of a Contributor Day has is to ensure as many contributors see, realise their work over the finish line. And so on the Core team that’s a patch that someone tests gets committed, or a patch someone writes gets committed to WordPress, right? How can we make that more valuable, where it’s not just ending when they leave Contributor Day?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so I’ve been thinking about all the different logistics and helping to coordinate with the WordCamp Asia team and the 7.0 release team to make sure we’re prepared for that final day. And one of the things I’ve been thinking about is the release process itself. One of the best, lowest friction ways to get involved with WordPress in the actual release process. And you don’t need any experience contributing to really take part in it. And that’s when we get to a point where we say, okay, here’s the zip file of what we think we’re going to ship, go test it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so people will take it, and they install it on their server and they say which version of PHP they’re using, and how they installed it and what they did and, you know, it worked. And the majority of that though is just looking for problems. And when problems don’t come up, we just don’t do anything with all the information that people are dropping, right? And there might be 50 people at a major release. We call them parties, but at the release parties that are dropping information. And again, if there’s no red flags, that information just largely goes away.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But, how can we rethink that and make that effort more meaningful, and also create a pathway for them to continue contributing in some way past that moment? And having everybody in person is a great way to have pilot programs for different approaches, because there can be someone that briefs a set of contributors on what we’re going to try this time, here’s what we want to do, give us feedback on how you felt it went. Everybody that’s involved in the squad and doing the release can say, oh yeah, that actually was really helpful and better than what we do before.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And these newer individuals that are learning also have fresh perspective. And so having them participate in these, I guess I’ll call them experiments of such, but just these processes and things that we are considering, it helps get that fresh opinion and perspective on why things are working and why things aren’t and helps us just improve.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:35:04] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I’ve got three children and they’re all of a certain age now, they’re certainly no longer small. You know, they’re basically adults. And it’s really fascinating looking at the kind of things that engage them. I think they’ve just grown up in a different era. The diet of the kind of things that excite them is very different to the kind of things that excited somebody of my generation, just because, you know, they’ve had the whole world in their pocket ever since they were born.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And having that dialogue with the next generation, and trying to figure out what it is that they want and that they desire. And even things like open source. So when, I was already an adult before the internet began to be put into everybody’s homes, and people started to own personal computers and things like that. And so I was ready to receive that message of open source right at the start. And it became really obvious to me, oh, that’s a really clever way of making software.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But now of course we’ve got this landscape of closed platforms. Everything’s free at the point of use, but everything’s not free in any way, shape, or form. You can think of the siloed platforms that I’m talking about. My children have been raised with those and so just even making the argument about open source is hard enough.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So I think what I’m really advocating for is, obviously we’ve got to shepherd these people in, but at the same time, I think we have to be willing to let go of a lot of the things that we think the project is. We think the Meetup should contain. We think the WordCamp should maintain. Because at the end of the day, we’re competing for eyeballs and if we don’t make it, I’m going to use the word exciting, if we don’t make it exciting, they’re just not going to show up.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And I feel that’s a piece of the next five, six years, trying to figure out what excites these people. Because unless we do excite them, I fear the Meetups are going to be empty and there’ll be a certain throughput from the WordPress initiatives, Campus Connect and what have you. But we need to make these things exciting, interesting, innovative, fun. But I don’t have an answer to that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:36:59] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> Yeah, you touched on something interesting that I’ve been thinking about quite a bit. I gave a talk last year about how to implement AI into open source communities while maintaining what makes them great in the first place, which is the human element, right? The community aspects of it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so I’ve been thinking a lot about just AI and how it’s affecting us. And there’s a few things that I’m really excited about with AI and those are empowerment and learning. And so you can have an AI model that digests massive amounts of information and summarises it in the specific way that you learn best, right?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And likewise, I’m noticing that people feel more empowered to try things themselves because they have more of an ability to distill a lot of information down into something that’s digestible, right?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so I feel that the tension between those two areas of closed and open is growing. Because when I was growing up, computers were just starting to be less than the size of a car, right? People were starting to have them in their house. But they were still at a point where, the computer went bad, you took it apart and fixed it. You didn’t trade it in for a new one, right?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so I feel like my generation, there was a level of, we had the tools, but we had to go out and build the things we needed ourselves in some ways, and experiment. And then there’s been the generations between that and now where they pretty much had everything that they needed.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But AI is changing what we need, or what we want, and what ways we want it. And so now there’s a new found need to build again in some ways. And in some ways it’s kind of a circle, right? Because it’s, the AI is making it easier to build, but it’s also making you more aware you have to build. It’s kind of like building against itself in certain ways.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I’m finding that there’s more of a willingness to do things on your own, try to tackle something you would typically need to hire a professional to do in the past. You know in many ways we need to lean into that because then that gets people excited. Oh, WordPress, I could use WordPress to build this, or I could use just the WordPress for just the database part of it and the REST API and have some type of application on it because it scales well and it caches or whatever it may be.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I feel like people are starting to scoff at the walled gardens a little bit more, and I’m seeing that there’s a resurgence in things like RSS. I’m seeing new RSS readers are popping up. People are leaning towards the Fediverse. People are blogging more, having their own website instead of just their business on Facebook, right? Because that can get taken away.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We saw with Twitter how they just chose to close their platform. And embeds no longer work in WordPress because they shut down oEmbeds. And I feel like it changes every month, but there’s times where you have to log in to see a post, or you can’t see a post, or you can see one post and then you can’t see any more that’s shared externally. Yeah, so it gives you more control.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:40:02] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, I think that’s really interesting. And I also noticed that swing. Obviously, I don’t have any broader data. I can only point to the things in my life, the little intuitions that I’m gaining. But I see the same thing. I see an interest in AI, so we’ll just put that to one side for a moment. But in terms of the closed platforms, I do see that the people that I know who are significantly younger than me, they have intuitions around that, and they’ve kind of figured out for themselves that this is not great. It seems to be a vehicle to serve me ads, and I wonder what the incentive is for the stuff that I’m seeing, and maybe it’s kind of pushing me off in one direction politically and all of that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And yeah, this resurgence of RSS, of the blog. I know it’s hard to talk about, but it’s almost like we’re doing some sort of archaeology in the internet space. We’ve gone back to something older. We kind of dug up the relics from the past and we found that they’re still usable. They’re still there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’ll be so interesting. But I think if it was just the RSS and it was just the open nature of things, I think that’s going to be a hard sell. But throw AI into the mix, this capacity for somebody with very little relationship with writing code who can get something credible out. Now, it may not be robust, it may have security problems here and there. The accessibility may be something that needs to be addressed and what have you. But who can argue with the excitement of it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You know, you tell a computer to make a colourful website that’s got rainbows and pictures of cats, and sure enough, two minutes later you have a website with rainbows and pictures of cats. And that wasn’t possible until just a couple of years ago. And so I think we’ve got the tools. I think there’s things that we can deploy. AI seems to be the primary one at the moment. Let’s hope that that continues to be sustainable.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But that’s interesting. That gives me some hope. And t�i�� R���>* R��
� ?� �he way that you’ve encapsulated it, open source combined with things like AI. Trying to get Meetups back. Trying to combine it with educational initiatives. Trying to combine it with WordCamps and releases.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:41:52] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> You mentioned something that’s important there in that it’s very easy for someone to get something built that they need specifically, right? And I think that’s where we’re at right now where AI is, like I said, is empowering, but more on a personal level. Once you need to scale those things, that’s when it gets difficult.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And it’s a rollercoaster of, oh my God, there’s going to be no software. And then, oh, look at all this crappy software that AI built. We are always going to have a job. And then it’s like up and down all throughout time as new tools get released. And it definitely matches what I’m seeing is like the personal empowerment level, they could take that and run with it and build this really massive thing, or they could just build something that they just want, that does specifically what they want, that they haven’t found out there that it accomplishes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And I think that another aspect of that is I’m noticing that a lot of people that you may not have thought would try things in the physical world on their own are more likely to do so as well. So maybe changing their faucet, or doing a landscaping project or something. I feel like we’ve had YouTube tutorials, right, has been a big thing for maybe a decade, right? But I feel like AI has unlocked a new level of empowerment where people feel more confident to try things because of the knowledge that’s available to them in different ways.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:43:09] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> The year 2026 is going to be punctuated by WordCamps. It’s going to be punctuated by WordPress releases. Hopefully we will start to see the needle move on educational initiatives, and maybe some younger people joining in with the community.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That has been a fascinating chat, Jonathan. I really appreciate that, getting your insight into what I think we both hope is going to happen in the WordPress project. That it will still be relevant in 10 years time, and that there’ll be children who are now, not old enough to be using computers, in a decade, they’ll be coming on podcasts like this, and hosting podcasts like this, and being involved in the community that we love so very much.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Where can we find you, Jonathan? If people want to talk to you and have a bit of a natter, where’s the best place to locate you?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:43:48] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> My website is just jonathandesrosiers.com. I’m desrosej pretty much everywhere on the internet. I try to keep it consistent and easy. And you can also, of course, find me in the wordpress.org Slack.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:44:01] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I will link to all of those in the show notes. So if you go to the wptavern.com website, search for the episode with Jonathan Desrosiers, you’ll be able to find all of the links probably at the bottom underneath the transcript and the preamble. Go and have a look down there and hopefully we’ll be speaking soon. I’ll probably see you in Mumbai in a few weeks time. Take care, Jonathan.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the podcast today we have <a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/desrosj/">Jonathan Desrosiers</a>.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jonathan has been involved with WordPress for almost two decades, both as a user and a contributor. He’s a principal software engineer at Bluehost, where his role sees him sponsored to work on WordPress through the Five for the Future program. Over the years, he’s become a Core committer, and has spent many hours thinking about how to enhance the contributor experience and make it easier for people to get involved in the project.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this episode we discuss how WordPress releases might be made more impactful by synchronizing them with flagship community events like WordCamps and State of the Word. A recent experiment of combining a major release with a live event sparked some excitement, and Jonathan shares insights on the logistics behind such synchronized moments, the challenges posed by international holidays and regional scheduling, and the broader vision for connecting releases with community gatherings.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We also get into the changing landscape of the WordPress community, how it’s recovering from the effects of COVID, the struggle to rebuild local Meetups, and efforts (like mentorship and educational initiatives) to bring in new contributors, particularly from younger generations. Jonathan reflects on the importance of making release moments engaging and fun, akin to the anticipation of a new TV series or software launch, and the role of AI and open source in empowering a new wave of builders.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re interested in how release cycles, community events, and contributor onboarding are evolving in WordPress, or what the future might hold for the platform and its community, this episode is for you.</p>

<p>I started working with WordPress in 2020. I joined a digital agency and was at the start of my professional career. I had freshly completed a developer bootcamp where we learned about web development concepts and the basics of JS, HTML and CSS. I was initially hired as a frontend developer, but soon expanded my role to UX design and WordPress.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-overcoming-prejudice"><strong>Overcoming prejudice</strong></h2>
<p>Initially, I was hesitant about working with WordPress. In some developer circles, it was looked down upon. I thought someone might think less of me for using such a basic tool instead of doing the real thing, since coding was considered the “proper” way to build things.</p>
<p>After some initial resistance, I managed to let go of my prejudice and started enjoying it. The process involved designing the website in Figma and then implementing it via WordPress. Although I like to write code, I always thought of myself as more of a visual person than a coder, so this felt quite satisfactory.</p>
<p>In the Agency we worked mostly with Elementor, and even though there were some trade-offs when using it, I still remember how glad the benefits made me feel. I could implement scroll animations and various custom effects just by adjusting a couple of settings. It was great!</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-shift-in-perspective"><strong>Shift in perspective</strong></h2>
<p>As time progressed and I became more fluent in WordPress, I stopped thinking only from a design and frontend perspective and started seeing the bigger picture. Besides getting familiar with SEO, I began to understand the relationship between design decisions, business goals, and real-world constraints.</p>
<p>I also realized that I no longer had to wait for someone else to finish the project. Design didn’t end at handoff, and implementation didn’t end at developing the frontend. I could take a project from an initial idea to a finished, high-quality website all on my own. WordPress made that possible without requiring me to become a backend specialist.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-delivering-complete-value"><strong>Delivering complete value</strong></h2>
<p>These insights changed my role more than any job title ever could and encouraged me to start freelancing. I took part in bigger, team-oriented WordPress projects, but I also worked on smaller ones where I was responsible for the whole process, from the initial “get-to-know-you” interview with the client to the final approval. I came to understand how design decisions influenced performance, how content structure shaped SEO, and how visual complexity affected load times and maintenance. </p>
<p>As I gained more experience, the scope of my work expanded. I was no longer just a designer or developer. Over time, I started to understand the business side of projects as well. It became clearer how a website fits into a broader strategy, how it supports client goals, and how decisions influence long term value. WordPress allowed me to develop a more strategic mindset. It helped me move from purely operational work toward strategic thinking. That broader business perspective became just as important to me as the technical execution itself.</p>
<p>The feeling of being able to provide a complete product to the client and own the entire process felt exciting because it satisfied my need for autonomy.</p>
<p>First time I truly felt responsible for the entire outcome was while developing a full hotel website from start to finish. Publishing the site felt different. Since working in a team is a collaborative activity, there is always sharing of responsibility, giving each other support and feedback. This is why this felt different. It was only me. It was not a contribution. It was owning the project from start to finish. Seeing the site live, functional, and in real use made this shift clear. It felt exciting to be able to deliver the full outcome.</p>
<p>Even if WordPress is not suitable for every use case and even if there are certain trade-offs, for someone like me, who wanted to feel autonomy and experience delivering a product from the initial idea to completion, WordPress was the right tool. It didn’t just teach me how to build a website or implement SEO. It taught me how to deliver real value to a client.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-conclusion"><strong>Conclusion</strong></h2>
<p>If I had to summarize what WordPress changed in my life, it would be that it helped me become more autonomous. It allowed me to take responsibility for entire projects and deliver complete value to clients, from idea to finished product. </p>
<p>It also exposed me to a much larger number of real-world projects, clients, and challenges. That volume of experience shaped my growth more than any single tool or role. More projects meant more conversations, more constraints and more responsibility. </p>
<p>In that sense, WordPress wasn’t just a tool for me. It helped me evolve from a designer and developer into a more complete professional. Someone able to understand problems, deliver outcomes, and think beyond individual tasks.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For technical details on the more than <strong>71 issues</strong> addressed since Beta 1, see the following links:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Note: <strong>Beta 2 was released on July 17, 2026</strong>, as part of the <a href="https://wordpress.org/news/2026/07/wordpress-7-0-2-release/">WordPress 7.0.2 release</a> and includes important security fixes.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Beta 3 introduces two improvements to styling.</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Applying local style changes globally is no longer an all-or-nothing action. The <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/79839" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Apply globally</a> option in the block inspector now opens a quick review step, allowing you to choose which modified styles to apply globally while keeping the rest as local overrides.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Other notable fixes include improvements to media uploads: long animated GIF uploads no longer hang, images rotated using EXIF metadata are processed correctly, and uploading a single HEIC image in Safari no longer creates two entries.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The editor also includes additional fixes for Notes, responsive styling, and custom CSS. For developers, WordPress Coding Standards has been updated to version 3.4.0.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/2026/05/22/extending-unicode-support-in-email-addresses-usernames-and-slugs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Unicode email address support</a> will <strong>not be included</strong> in WordPress 7.1. The work will continue in a community plugin, allowing broader testing of compatibility, security, and data-handling considerations.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What’s new in WordPress 7.1?</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress 7.1 delivers a more complete set of styling controls, a smoother media experience, and a more personalized admin experience. Notes have evolved to add inline notes with @mentions and rich text formatting that make asynchronous feedback feel more powerful. New styling features unlock long requested features to style how blocks look across screen sizes and to style interactive states, all without writing custom CSS. Various client side media improvements means better format support, improved performance, and more resilient uploads when adding media to your site. A new inline cropping tool brings a fresh and more robust experience to editing images. Finally, the admin experience becomes easier to navigate with an ever present admin bar in the editors, improvements to the command palette, and various quality of life improvements. Underneath it all, developers get an expanding set of APIs to build on, and site owners get better support for a truly global audience.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">New suite of Notes features</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Notes continue to grow into a fuller collaboration experience, making asynchronous feedback between teams faster and more expressive.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Text Formatting</strong>: Notes now support inline formatting like bold, italic, code, links and adding emoji; each with a respective keyboard shortcut, so feedback reads clearly without breaking your flow.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>@mentions</strong>: Type “@” in a Note to pull up a searchable list of collaborators and tag someone directly, so feedback points at the right person without leaving the sidebar.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Leave notes anywhere</strong>: Start more than one conversation on the same block instead of folding every comment into a single thread, making it easier to track distinct pieces of feedback.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Inline notes:</strong> Leave a note on a text selection instead of on an entire block.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Show more / show less</strong>: Long notes now collapse by default with a toggle to expand them, keeping the margin tidy while you write.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Style it your way, on any screen</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress 7.1 takes a major step toward built-in responsive design and interactive styling, letting you achieve looks that once required writing custom CSS.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Responsive styling</strong>: Define how a block looks at different screen sizes directly in the editor, for both Global Styles and individual blocks without the need of writing custom CSS.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Viewport breakpoint customization</strong>: Theme authors can now define their own responsive breakpoints in <code>theme.json</code>, giving more flexibility for how responsive controls behave on a given site.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Interactive state styling</strong>: Style how blocks respond to interaction, like a button changing color on hover or focus, using a standardized set of controls for both Global Styles and individual block instances.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A smoother media experience</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Uploading, editing, and browsing media keeps getting more capable and more reliable.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Client-side media processing</strong>: Image and media processing moves into the browser, now with broader format support that includes HEIC (the default format for iPhone photos), UltraHDR, AVIF and WebP support built in, plus GIF-to-video conversion for lighter, more efficient files. Uploads are also more resilient, with a progress indicator and automatic retries if your data connectivity drops off.</li>
<li><strong>New Media Editor Modal</strong>: A dedicated modal for editing images replaces the inline cropping tool, bringing cropping, rotation, and metadata editing together in one streamlined workflow.</li>
<li><strong>Smarter galleries</strong>: Gallery blocks can automatically pull in and sort media already attached to the current post, cutting down on manual set-up.</li>
<li><strong>View attached images:</strong> After you upload images to a post, the inserter will automatically surface them in a new Attached images section to make it easier to find relevant images.</li>
<li><strong>Infinite scrolling by default</strong>: The Media Library grid view now loads additional items automatically as you scroll, rather than requiring a click on “Load more” especially handy for sites that handle large media libraries. This can be disabled under your user profile.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A more personal, more navigable admin</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These meaningful upgrades make the WordPress admin easier to move around in and more consistent with how you like to work.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Persistent toolbar (Omnibar)</strong>: The admin toolbar now travels with you into the Site Editor and Block Editor, with a series of polish improvements throughout.</li>
<li><strong>Command palette improvements</strong>: Moving through the dashboard and editor with the command palette <code>(Ctrl/Cmd+K)</code> is more refined to make finding what you need even faster! Now results are grouped into <em>Recent, matching and Suggestions</em> sections instead of one flat list.</li>
<li><strong>Admin color scheme in the Site Editor</strong>: The Site Editor now reflects your chosen admin color scheme instead of always using a fixed background.</li>
<li><strong>DataViews and DataForms iterations</strong>: Continued refinement of the components behind managing lists of posts, pages, patterns, and templates, alongside the forms used to edit them.</li>
<li><strong>Excerpts in the Posts list</strong>: The Posts list view now shows a short excerpt for each entry, making it easier to identify the post you’re looking for without opening it.</li>
<li><strong>Visual revisions</strong>: This release adds a picker activity layout for browsing history in more detail, clearly labeled autosaves in the timeline, and an autosave notice that opens straight into the visual revisions view. Global Styles revisions get a small polish too, swapping the <em>active</em> style’s text label for a badge.</li>
<li><strong>A dedicated Identity section</strong>: Site identity settings like your title, tagline, and icon are now live in their own clearly labeled section of the Site Editor, making them easier to find and update.</li>
<li><strong>On This Day Widget</strong>: A new widget resurfaces what you published on this date in past years, right on your dashboard. A small nudge to look back on what you’ve written, and a reason to write something new today.</li>
<li><strong>Allow Changing Comment Parent:</strong> Fixing a misthreaded comment used to mean editing the database directly. WordPress 7.1 adds an editable “In reply to” control to the Edit Comment screen, letting you pick a new parent from a dropdown of the post’s other comments. It’s scoped to the same post, so this is about untangling threads, not moving comments across posts.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">New blocks and block-level enhancements</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress 7.1 release brings a handful of block refinements that give more control with fewer steps.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Playlist Block:</strong> A new block for adding a collection of audio files to a post or page, with an optional waveform visualization that shows the audio’s shape as it plays; a more visual way to present podcasts, music, or audio content without using any third-party plugins.</li>
<li><strong>Tabs Block:</strong> A new block for organizing content into clickable tabbed panels instead of showing everything at once. It’s a cleaner way to present related content without overwhelming the page.</li>
<li><strong>Background gradients</strong>: Background gradients and background images no longer conflict. The gradient used to get silently overridden by the image, but now they combine and display together. This fix extends beyond the Group block to Verse, Accordion, Pullquote, Post Content, and Quote block.</li>
<li><strong>HTML block editable content</strong>: The HTML block now supports editable nested blocks. This is great to use for AI-generated content, which often arrives as raw HTML.</li>
<li><strong>“Mark as decorative” for images</strong>: A new toggle on the Image block lets you hide purely decorative images from screen readers for a better accessibility experience.</li>
<li><strong>Smarter shortcode handling</strong>: Pasting or converting a shortcode into the Embed block now creates a proper Embed block instead of leaving raw shortcode text behind, and the Shortcode block gains block-specific transforms of its own.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Built for a global audience</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress 7.1 continues work to make Core reflect the full diversity of its worldwide community, with progress toward supporting Unicode email addresses so usernames, slugs, and email addresses can better represent users everywhere.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Built for developers</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress 7.1 continues to expand the foundation developers build on.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Abilities API expansion</strong>: Continued refinement of the Abilities API with improved querying, filtering, and input validation, giving developers and AI tooling a more reliable foundation to build on.</li>
<li><strong>Block Bindings for list items</strong>: Block Bindings now extend to List Item, making it possible to connect more block content to dynamic data sources without custom code.</li>
<li><strong>Custom icon registration</strong>: New functions let plugin and theme authors register their own icons �ns�[��"�u� � [�
R
� ?� �for the Icons block for use throughout the block editor.</li>
<li><strong>Enforced iframed editor</strong>: The post editor now always runs inside an iframe, isolating the editing canvas from admin styles for more predictable rendering. Blocks using Block API v2 or lower should be updated to v3 for compatibility.</li>
<li><strong>wordpress/theme stabilization</strong>: Introduces design tokens and a stable React ThemeProvider to provide a more consistent, customizable foundation for WordPress admin interfaces.</li>
<li><strong>Connectors authentication improvements</strong>: The Connectors screen now also supports username and application-password login – a more familiar way to connect plugins and services. This release also closes a security gap where browsers could auto-suggest saved credentials into the API key field.</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With so much in progress for WordPress 7.1 Beta 1, this is still only the beginning; expect continued refinement with each Beta and RC release ahead of the final release on <strong>August 19, 2026</strong> at <a href="https://us.wordcamp.org/2026/">WordCamp US 2026</a>.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordCamp US 2026 returns for another year, this time in Phoenix, Arizona, for four days, August 16 to 19. It comes at a moment of real energy for WordPress, as artificial intelligence reshapes everyday workflows, the business of building and maintaining sites is shifting, and new people keep discovering the platform every day. Four tracks address this moment, covering AI, Honing Your Skills, Technical WordPress, and Beginner WordPress. Between them, there is something for everyone, whether you lead an agency, freelance for local clients, write code for a living, or are building your very first site. Whatever draws you in, you will leave Phoenix better equipped and better connected than ever.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Phoenix itself rewards anyone who adds a day or two to their trip. The capital of Arizona sits in the Sonoran Desert and pairs a lively downtown with a rich arts and food scene. The Roosevelt Row arts district is known for its galleries, murals, and independent restaurants. It is also home to one of the largest art walks in the region. Nearby, Chase Field and the Footprint Center host professional baseball and live shows, and the surrounding desert offers striking scenery at places like Papago Park and the Desert Botanical Garden.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Explore Real-World Projects on Showcase Day</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Day 2, Showcase Day, is dedicated to real-world WordPress projects and focuses on how teams develop features, manage publishing, and run demanding sites at scale. It brings to life the kind of work collected in the WordPress <a href="https://wordpress.org/showcase/">Showcase</a>, the directory of standout sites built on the platform, from global brands like <a href="https://wordpress.org/showcase/disney-connect/">Disney</a> to community publishers and institutions like <a href="https://wordpress.org/showcase/nasa/">NASA</a>. Past WordCamp US Showcase days have brought teams from the likes of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGvh7fCOUk0">Wikimedia</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHk-Us00pTk">CANCOM</a> to explain how they manage large, high-traffic systems. Other sessions took a builder’s perspective on catching bugs faster with automated testing and even running the Block Editor inside a custom app.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dive Into Two Conference Days</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The two main conference days will bring a full slate of sessions across four tracks. First among them is the AI track, which treats the technology as a tool to handle with care rather than a headline to chase. Its sessions set guardrails for AI-assisted development, prepare for a web where AI agents become the visitors a site must serve, and weigh the legal and ethical questions of putting AI tools in the hands of clients. Speakers from companies like Elementor will be taking a look at where the web is heading, while keeping the focus on what teams can adopt today without giving up control of their work.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Technical WordPress and Honing Your Skills tracks cover the craft and business of building with WordPress. On the technical side, sessions dig into modern development workflows, automated testing with tools like the browser-based <a href="https://playground.wordpress.net/">WordPress Playground</a>, and plugin pipelines. The Honing Your Skills track adds practical guidance on pricing, maintenance, and how the agency model is changing as clients ask for more. The Beginner WordPress track keeps the door open for newcomers, with approachable sessions that make your first WordCamp less daunting. Hands-on work runs through all of these tracks, so alongside the talks, attendees will find workshops and working sessions where they can build something real and leave ready to apply it to their own projects.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Getting to Phoenix is straightforward. The <a href="https://us.wordcamp.org/2026/about/venue/">Phoenix Convention Center</a> sits in the heart of downtown, less than five miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) and about 15 minutes away on the <a href="https://www.valleymetro.org/how-to-ride/rail">Valley Metro light rail</a>. WordCamp US has a room block at the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown, close to the convention center, so <a href="https://book.passkey.com/event/51129263/owner/68648/home">book your hotel</a> before the block fills, and <a href="https://us.wordcamp.org/2026/tickets/">reserve your ticket</a> if you have not already. The full event lineup and details live on the <a href="https://us.wordcamp.org/2026/schedule/">WordCamp US 2026 site</a>, and the conference closes with an evening social before everyone heads home.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On June 23, around 40 students from the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC), Louisiana Tech University, and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette were celebrated in Chicago as the first cohort to receive the AI Leaders Micro-Credential through <a href="https://ai-leaders.org/">AI Leaders</a>, the nation’s first workforce-focused AI literacy course tied to a recognized credential. Each of them earned it by building real projects, applying generative AI to genuine work, and contributing to the open source software that powers more than 40% of the web. Students who completed the course also earned $1,000, made possible by a donation from Automattic and UIC. This celebration was the moment the program had been building toward since it was <a href="https://wordpress.org/news/2026/02/ai-leaders-credential/">first announced in February</a>.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When the pilot launched, the goal was to test whether open source learning could connect directly to job pathways rather than stopping at a certificate. What makes this program distinct is that it is built on open source from the ground up: students learn on WordPress, contribute to it, and use generative AI the way the WordPress ecosystem uses it every day, leaving with a credential that employers can verify and a community that continues long after the course ends.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The pilot reflects a shared belief that AI and open source skills should be within reach regardless of where someone lives or what they can afford.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://mercantile.wordpress.org/">Mercantile</a>, the official swag store of the WordPress project, has a newly redesigned storefront with a catalog that now sits front and center, and a design tuned to hold up across a wide range of screen sizes. There are also small touches, like automatically selecting a variant when only one is in stock and order emails styled to match the look and feel of the store.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="2048" height="1055" src="https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/06/image-1.png?resize=2048%2C1055&ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-20931" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/06/image-1.png?w=2048&ssl=1 2048w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/06/image-1.png?resize=300%2C155&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/06/image-1.png?resize=767%2C395&ssl=1 767w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/06/image-1.png?resize=1024%2C528&ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/06/image-1.png?resize=1536%2C791&ssl=1 1536w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Throughout the design, the storefront leans into the history and culture of WordPress. Visual and copy choices nod to familiar elements of the project, from the metabox and the admin bar to Wapuu making the occasional appearance, with small open source and code references for those who look closely. The aim was a storefront that feels uniquely WordPress.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Under the hood, the storefront shows what a modern WordPress and <a href="https://woocommerce.com/">WooCommerce</a> site can do. It is built almost entirely with blocks, including a block-based cart, checkout, mini-cart, and order confirmation, supported by a set of custom theme blocks created for the store. The <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/interactivity-api/iapi-about/">Interactivity API</a> powers the catalog navigation and modal states, the store runs on WordPress 7.0, and accessibility is built in throughout, honoring reduced-motion preferences across animations and meeting color contrast standards. Product pages surface per-product attributes such as size, material, and care, so shoppers have the details they need before adding an item to the cart.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This latest redesign supported the Mercantile booth at <a href="https://europe.wordcamp.org/2026/">WordCamp Europe</a>. To make in-person sales work smoothly, the team enabled local pickup at checkout and added a set of event-only products refined to match the rest of the catalog. Fifty orders were completed at the event using in-person payments, a strong real-world test of the new checkout flow.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is more on the way! A playful experiment in progress will let curious shoppers explore a text-based version of the store from the command line, a small tribute to the developers who make up much of the WordPress community. Subtle hints pointing the way will appear once it is ready.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Applications are now open for the 2026 Kim Parsell Memorial Scholarship, which supports one active WordPress contributor who identifies as a woman and has not previously attended WordCamp US. The scholarship helps make it possible for a community member with financial need to join WordCamp US 2026 in Phoenix, Arizona, and take part in one of the largest annual gatherings in the WordPress project.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The scholarship honors Kim Parsell, a longtime WordPress contributor whose work and presence left a meaningful mark on the project. Kim was known for her care, generosity, and commitment to helping others feel welcome in open source spaces. For readers who are less familiar with her story, the <a href="https://us.wordcamp.org/2019/memories-of-kim-parsell/">tributes shared by friends and colleagues</a> offer a deeper look at her role in the WordPress community and the lasting impact she had on those who knew her. Through this scholarship, the WordPress Foundation continues to recognize contributors who reflect that same spirit of participation and community.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress is built by people from many backgrounds, experiences, and areas of expertise. Events like WordCamp US create space for contributors to meet in person, learn from one another, and continue the work that supports the software and the community around it. For some contributors, the cost of travel, lodging, and registration can make attending difficult. The Kim Parsell Memorial Scholarship helps reduce that barrier for one eligible contributor each year.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Scholarship Details</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One scholarship will be awarded for WordCamp US 2026. Applicants must:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Identify as a woman. </li>
<li>Be actively involved as a contributor to WordPress.</li>
<li>Have never attended WordCamp US before.</li>
<li>Demonstrate financial need to attend the event.</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The scholarship includes the cost of a WordCamp US 2026 ticket, round-trip flight, and lodging. Applications are open through July 10, 2026, and all applicants will be notified of the decision by July 24, 2026.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This post recaps how the WordPress project’s five Global Partners — Jetpack, WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Bluehost, and Hostinger — supported community events during the first half of 2026. Across more than a dozen regional <a href="https://events.wordpress.org/novisad/2026/developer-day/">the first WordPress Developers Day</a>, and a growing network of <a href="https://events.wordpress.org/campusconnect/">WordPress Campus Connect</a> events, Global Partners staffed booths, sponsored sessions, and connected with developers, freelancers, students, and agency owners around the world.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A global footprint</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The year began in January with <a href="https://nepal.wordcamp.org/2026">WordCamp Nepal</a>, where Jetpack joined the community in Kathmandu. The momentum carried into India, where <a href="https://kolhapur.wordcamp.org/2026">WordCamp Kolhapur</a> and, a week later, <a href="https://pune.wordcamp.org/2026">WordCamp Pune</a> brought Global Partners face-to-face with a student-heavy audience of roughly 200-250 attendees. In Pune, a session on connecting WordPress with AI workflows drew a large crowd, and attendees were curious about WordPress.com plans, new AI features, and Automattic for Agencies. </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1206" height="675" src="https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/06/img_1932.jpg?resize=1206%2C675&ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-20920" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/06/img_1932.jpg?w=1206&ssl=1 1206w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/06/img_1932.jpg?resize=300%2C168&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/06/img_1932.jpg?resize=766%2C429&ssl=1 766w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/06/img_1932.jpg?resize=1024%2C573&ssl=1 1024w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In February, Jetpack traveled to <a href="https://portharcourt.wordcamp.org/2026">WordCamp Port Harcourt</a> in Nigeria, an inclusive and well-organized event with 256 attendees that featured talks on inclusion and accessibility. Locally produced swag was a standout success there, a reminder that the WordPress community’s reach extends well beyond Europe and North America.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Across Europe</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Spring brought a wave of European events. At <a href="https://madrid.wordcamp.org/2026">WordCamp Madrid</a>, with 280 attendees, WordPress.com served as a Global Sponsor and ran a Wapuu treasure hunt that drew 97 participants. </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" src="https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/06/55230328181_175ece15a5_o-scaled.jpg?ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-20921" /></figure>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Down the coast in France, <a href="https://nice.wordcamp.org/2026">WordCamp Nice</a> gave Jetpack a chance to connect with 247 freelancers and developers, an audience that appreciated concrete, easy-to-explain solutions and asked questions about newsletters, security, and Jetpack’s broader feature set.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://vienna.wordcamp.org/2026">WordCamp Vienna</a> stood out for its developer-heavy crowd of 277. From a Jetpack-branded booth staffed on both days, the team engaged with agencies and merchants, fielded numerous questions about WooCommerce and security, and booked 8 agency meetings. Many builders were interested to learn that Automattic stands behind both WordPress.com and WooCommerce. In Italy and Germany, <a href="https://torino.wordcamp.org/2026">WordCamp Torino</a> and <a href="https://leipzig.wordcamp.org/2026">WordCamp Leipzig</a> both reflected growing curiosity about AI, a theme that resurfaced throughout the year. At Leipzig, with 109 agencies, hosting companies, and freelancers in attendance, WordPress.com staffed a booth where tote bags were in high demand, while conversations kept returning to AI and WordPress Studio.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://slovenia.wordcamp.org/2026">WordCamp Slovenia </a>and <a href="https://portugal.wordcamp.org/2026">WordCamp Portugal</a> closed the European stretch. WordPress.com brought a booth to Ljubljana, and in Porto, it appeared with both a booth and logo presence alongside WooCommerce, which suited an event filled with e-commerce builders and Woo payment providers. The first WordPress Developers Day in Novi Sad introduced a new format, with Jetpack as a global sponsor and nearly 30 in-depth conversations on Jetpack, WooCommerce, performance, and the realities of client work.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Community in Uganda</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In May, <a href="https://kampala.wordcamp.org/2026">WordCamp Kampala</a> brought four Global Partners onto the sponsor roster: Jetpack, WooCommerce, Bluehost, and WordPress.com. The event, themed “Tech for Social Good,” welcomed more than 200 attendees and reflected the energy of a fast-growing local community.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Support from Global Sponsors</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Behind every one of these events is a layer of support that does not always appear at a booth. In 2026, Bluehost and Hostinger both joined the <a href="https://events.wordpress.org/sponsor/">WordPress community sponsorship program</a> as top-tier Global Sponsors, alongside Jetpack and WordPress.com. Their contributions help underwrite the global WordCamp program and the community events that make a year like this possible. That program-level backing is what allows organizers in Kathmandu, Porto, and Kampala to bring their events to life, and the WordPress community is grateful to every partner that invests at that scale.<br></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Campus Connect reaches 6,200 students</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the most notable stories of 2026 is not a WordCamp at all. It is <a href="https://events.wordpress.org/campusconnect/">WordPress Campus Connect</a>. As of early June, the program has passed 6,200 students, with 25 events completed in 2026, 45 events all-time, and 42 more in planning or already scheduled. WordPress.com has played a direct support role throughout, including providing hosting for WordPress Campus Connect events around the world.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The connective tissue between these events and the broader community is real. An organizer first met at WordCamp Mukono went on to help lead WordPress Campus Connect work in Uganda. A student who built her first WordPress site at a WordPress Campus Connect event later attended a WordCamp. These events serve as a pathway for the next generation of WordPress contributors, builders, and professionals.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Looking ahead</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If 2026 has shown anything, it is that interest in WordPress, and in the tools and services that Global Partners provide, continues to grow around the world. The questions being asked at booths and in sessions are sharper, the audiences more diverse, and the community’s reach more genuinely global. Thank you to Jetpack, WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Bluehost, and Hostinger for being part of that story this year, and to every organizer, volunteer, speaker, and attendee who made these events possible.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There’s also a #ceo <a href="https://slack.com/">Slack</a> channel where anyone can drop in and request a meeting, which my esteemed colleague <a href="https://www.dpresident.net/">Damianne President</a> did, and this morning we had an interesting chat that set my mind racing about how we might engineer happiness in the future.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>One overriding assumption:</strong> Personal agents will trounce company agents in most cases. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Your personal agent can — or soon will — know all your history, your calendar, your email, your preferences, and your photos, and it speaks your language. So much time is wasted in traditional support trying to see through the customer’s eyes, or authenticate them. That goes away, but watch your thinking! It’s so easy to fall into the mental model trap of legacy chatbots and data models.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a company, your website, your <a href="https://wordpress.org/">WordPress</a>, documentation, tutorials, menus, manuals need to be amazing and up to date. That’s the source of truth, and an agent will read all of it!</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The interface and APIs remain because that’s useful to both human visitors and the agents.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whenever possible, make support public. More blogs and <a href="https://bbpress.org/">bbPress</a>. I actually weep a little when I think of how many beautiful words are written by our Happiness Engineers that are only ever seen once in a chat box or email thread.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My goal with our products is that support is radically available, and you almost never have to use it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re in a support role, I think you can pick a lane based on where you get energy. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you love looking at screens, I think there’s a future where customer service wizards are watching over an Iron Man-like interface, armies of chat bots talking to people, where they can see how they’re going and intervene or nudge them as needed. There’s a ton of work in tuning agents and interactions.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If people recharge you, I actually think this will be the greatest era. All of the basic, mechanical stuff will be automated, but I think human connection will be what economists call a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veblen_good">Veblen good</a>, more in demand even as it is more expensive. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I think Happiness Engineering in the future will look a lot more like community building. A bot can’t host a meetup or a <a href="https://central.wordcamp.org/">WordCamp</a>.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I <a href="https://ma.tt/2023/10/wowza/">was the biggest Waymo fanboy</a>, but this year with lots of trips to and from hospitals with Om I found myself craving human connection and used Uber more than ever. (It also gave me a chance to practice the one repeatable way that money <em>can</em> buy happiness, which is keeping a couple Benjamins in your back pocket and surprising people with them.)</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, 30 Jul 2026 16:54:41 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:4:"Matt";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:1;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:21:"

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="changelog">Changelog </h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Any changes are cataloged here as the release goes on.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>July 30, 2026 </strong>– First edition.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="important-note-guidelines">Important note/guidelines</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Try not to just copy and paste what’s in this post since it’s going to be shared with plenty of folks. Use this as inspiration for your own stuff and to get the best info about this release. If you do copy and paste, just remember that others might do the same, and it could lead to some awkward moments with duplicate content floating around online.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Each item has been tagged using best guesses with different high-level labels so that you can more readily see at a glance who is likely to be most impacted.<br />Each item has a high-level description, visuals (if relevant), and key resources if you would like to learn more.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="overview">Overview</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress 7.1 rounds out the block editor’s styling controls and makes working with media noticeably smoother. Long-requested features let you style how blocks look across three screen sizes and in interactive states like hover and focus — all without writing custom CSS. The admin experience becomes more personal, too, following you with your own color scheme and toolbar across every screen.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Handling images gets a considerable upgrade, too. The new media editor modal brings free-form cropping, rotation, and metadata editing into one workflow, and client-side media processing makes uploads faster and more resilient, with broader format support and better-optimized files. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The new Playlist and Tabs blocks enrich the layout options available out of the box and make for more creative information presentation. In the same realm fall the expanded Icon API with custom icon collections, dynamic galleries, and background gradients for more blocks.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The unification of WP Admin and the block editors progresses as well: the editors now respect your admin color scheme, and the admin bar stays with you on every screen — including the editors and the front end. A new “On This Day” Widget connects you to your site’s history. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While real-time collaboration has been punted to a future WordPress version, the asynchronous collaboration in Notes took real steps forward with inline notes on partial text selections, @mentions, rich text formatting, and multiple notes per block.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Beyond the headliners, core blocks receive many quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes to make editing content in WordPress streamlined, consistent, and fast — and developers get an expanding set of APIs to build on.</p>

The feature builds on earlier steps in this direction — the ability to show or hide blocks by screen size and the Navigation block’s customizable mobile overlay — and extends the idea to styling itself.</p>

Alongside this work, the Layout controls moved from the Settings tab to the Styles tab, keeping all styling decisions together. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This considerably improves the editing experience in WordPress Block editor. The goal was to eliminate the need for external tools for basic image editing.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For the Cover Block, this new media editor modal is hooked up to the <strong>Crop background image</strong> button. The option appears whenever the Cover block uses an editable image, and the block automatically recalculates its overlay color and contrast after an edit, so text stays readable even if the crop removes the image’s brightest or darkest areas (<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/79258">79258</a> )<br /><br />Tracking: <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/73771">Media Editor Modal task tracking</a> (#73771)</p>

� ?� �site-admin-enterprise">Client-side media processing improvements <strong><sup>[developer][site admin][enterprise]</sup></strong></h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When you upload an image in the block editor, your browser — not your server — will now handle the creation of all sub-sized images using a WebAssembly (WASM) version of libvips (wasm-vips), a high-performance image processing library. The result stored on your server is improved over what server-side processing produced until today: smaller files generated directly on your device. Server-side image processing CPU usage could decline by more than 80% on capable devices (<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/79188">79188</a>)</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The update also comes with broader modern image format support that includes HEIC (the default format for iPhone photos), JPEGS with HDR gain maps (used by UltraHDR and Adaptive HDR), AVIF and WebP support built in. A great performance improvement is the GIF-to-video conversion feature for lighter, more efficient files that are faster to load on the front-end. This feature is opt-in right now. Uploads are also more resilient, with a progress indicator and automatic retries if your data connectivity drops off (<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/76765">76765</a>, <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/79307">79307</a>).</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For content creators uploading media, this update means better support for HDR images, faster, more reliable uploads, broader format support, and better-optimized files without manual intervention.<br /><br />Plugin developers should note that some server-side hooks, including `wp_generate_attachment_metadata`, `image_resize_dimensions`, and `wp_handle_upload` may not fire as before. The team is working on documentation and mitigation strategies.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="icons-now-inherit-color-and-the-icons-api-takes-shape-theme-builder-plugin-author-developer-enterprise">Icons now inherit color, and the Icons API takes shape <strong><sup>[theme builder][plugin author][developer][enterprise]</sup></strong></h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress 7.0 shipped a built-in set of SVG icons for the block editor and the Icon block. With WordPress 7.1, this grows into a proper, public API: plugins and themes can register their own icons, group them into collections, render them on the server, and read them over the REST API.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For content creators, the most visible change is the Icon block’s picker: it now <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/79681">groups icons by collection</a>, with a tab per collection plus an “All” tab, and your search query carries over as you switch tabs. Custom icons from plugins and themes appear right alongside the core set. The block itself picked up several refinements: it <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/79111">inserts a default icon</a> so you’re never staring at an empty placeholder, offers <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/77017">flip and rotate controls</a> <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/79192">in the toolbar</a>, and shows <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/80251">text and background color controls by default</a>.</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="for-developers-registering-more-collections">For developers: Registering more collections</h4>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For developers, the pieces come together on the PHP side: register a collection with wp_register_icon_collection(), add icons with <code>wp_register_icon()</code> — from an inline SVG string or an .svg file — and <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/78332">print any registered icon</a> with wp_get_icon(), including size, CSS class, and an accessible label. Icon names get <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/76079">strict validation</a>, the <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/80139">registry’s register method is now public</a>, and REST API endpoints expose collections and icons to your own code. A dev note with full code examples is on its way to the Make Core blog.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One breaking change to flag: all 330 icons in @wordpress/icons v15 now declare <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/79320"><code>fill="currentColor"</code></a>, so icons inherit the surrounding text color by default. If you’ve been tinting icons with the CSS fill property, switch to color — it’s more reliable, since an icon may use fill, stroke, or both internally. If you register your own icons, add fill=”currentColor” to their <svg> element to get the same behavior.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="admin-bar-everywhere-all">Admin Bar everywhere <sup><strong>[</strong>all<strong>]</strong></sup></h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With WordPress 7.1, the WordPress admin bar which sits at the top of your site’s front end and other admin pages is now displayed when using block editor by default. It stays hidden when Fullscreen mode and Distraction-free mode are both turned on. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Until now, entering the editor in its default fullscreen mode meant the admin bar disappeared, cutting you off from the rest of wp-admin. Since the admin bar now provides site context, the update also replaces the top-left W/site icon in the site editor with an explicit back button, making the navigation control more obvious (<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/79197">79197</a>). </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="new-blocks-all">New Blocks <sup>[all]</sup></h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This release expands the block library with versatile new tools. These additions provide content creators with improved ways to display interactive media and organize information.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="playlist-block">Playlist block</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The new Playlist block lets you create audio playlists with waveform visualization, making it easy to showcase multiple tracks or podcast episodes in a single interactive player. Visitors can browse and play through your audio content without leaving the page. For content creators this provides a rich, modern listening experience built right into WordPress to highlight podcast episodes, track of music or talks. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Each track comes with its metadata: artwork, artist name, track number, and track length. The tracklist itself is configurable — you can set the play order and toggle artwork, artist names, track numbers, and <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/78954">track length</a> individually to suit the design of your page.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75203">WaveformPlayer visualization</a> comes with a <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/76147">visualization style selector</a>. You can set <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/80065">waveform and waveform background colors</a> for more granular theming and show the <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/79938">track artwork on the play button</a>, accessible for all visitors. The Playlist and Playlist Track blocks are available in the default block library.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is the first version and contributors are working on improvements for the next WordPress version, too looking to add more waveform styles, shuffle and skip buttons, a hover overlay for more intuitive track scrubbing, as well as performance improvements.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="tabs-block">Tabs block</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The new Tabs block organizes content into separate tabbed panels that visitors click through to navigate. It’s a design pattern that presents information compactly without overwhelming readers with a wall of text. It’s a common layout for FAQs, product features, or any content where you want to show options side-by-side. For editors, it’s a familiar, flexible layout pattern now available natively in WordPress.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The block family consists of a Tab List for the navigation and Tab Panels for the content. Each panel accepts any blocks you like, and the tab buttons come with their own color, typography, border, and spacing controls, so the navigation can be styled to match your theme. Using the toolbar buttons you can reorder the tabs quickly. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Under the hood, the markup and keyboard behavior follow the best practices set out in <a href="https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/tabs/">the tabs pattern from the W3C ARIA Authoring Practices Guide</a>.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="improved-blocks-and-block-handling">Improved Blocks and Block handling</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Core blocks receive numerous quality-of-life improvements in 7.1. These updates refine existing editing workflows, simplify media handling, and provide deeper customization for layouts and design.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="block-transforms-preview-first-convert-faster-end-user-site-admin">Block transforms: preview first, convert faster<sup> <strong>[end user][site admin]</strong></sup></h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Switching a block’s look or type is now much easier to evaluate before you commit. When you open the block switcher in the toolbar, the style options a theme provides — say, a Button’s “Outline” style — show live previews on hover, so you see exactly how your block will look with the style applied. (<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75889">75889</a>) The same previews in the inspector’s Styles panel now match the toolbar presentation, so it no longer matters where you make the switch. (<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75989">75989</a>) A small polish fix also centers the Navigation block’s preview in its preview pane. (<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75741">75741</a>)</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Transforms got more capable, too: a block can now transform directly into a variation of another block. Instead of converting to a Group and then picking Row afterwards, the transform menu offers Row or Stack as direct targets — one step instead of two. (<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/78713">78713</a>)</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The same “one step instead of two” thinking extends to legacy content. Pasting or converting an <code></code> shortcode now creates a proper Embed block instead of leaving raw shortcode text behind, so embeds from YouTube and other services display correctly right away (<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/77937">77937</a>)— and if you change your mind, undo restores a paragraph with the URL rather than deleting it. (<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/77551">77551). </a></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Shortcode block joins in as well: when its content matches a registered shortcode, it now offers block-specific transforms to convert it into the equivalent block. <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/77944">(77944</a>) </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For anyone maintaining a site with years of shortcode-based posts, that removes a tedious cleanup step on the way to block-based editing.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="combine-gradient-and-image-backgrounds-end-user-theme-builder-site-admin">Combine gradient and image backgrounds <sup><strong>[end user]</strong> <strong>[theme builder][site admin]</strong></sup></h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">More blocks now support background gradients through the new background.gradient block support, which<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75859"> layers a gradient on top of a background image</a> instead of one overwriting the other — a translucent color wash over a photo, for instance, without custom CSS.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Previously, gradients lived only in the Color panel, stored as a CSS background shorthand that clashed with any image on the block. The new support adds a Gradient control to the Background panel next to the existing Image control, and the style engine combines both into a single layered background-image value on individual blocks, in Global Styles, and via theme.json. A follow-up allows<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/79791"> modern color functions in standalone gradients</a>, and the<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/77279"> text and background color controls moved</a> to the Typography and Background panels to match.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress 7.1 ships with six blocks supporting the new gradients:<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75859"> Group</a>,<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/79391"> Verse</a>,<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/79840"> Accordion</a>,<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/79841"> Pullquote</a>,<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/79842"> Post Content</a>, and<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/79843"> Quote</a>. More will follow, with a long-term plan to migrateg�/�[��
�E� � [��:
� ?� � the older color.gradient to the new system across all blocks. There’s no built-in migration path in 7.1 yet.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For extenders, opting in follows the familiar block supports pattern. Custom blocks declare it in their block.json:</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="cover-block-control-video-embed-providers-theme-builder-plugin-author-enterprise-developer">Cover Block: control video embed providers <strong><sup>[theme builder][plugin author][enterprise][developer]</sup></strong></h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Besides gaining the new media editor modal for background images, the Cover block addresses a request from community feedback. When the block’s “Embed video from URL” feature shipped in WordPress 7.0, site builders<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/75069"> asked for a way to curate or disable it</a>. WordPress 7.1 adds a new allowedVideoProviders attribute to restrict which video providers are offered, or to remove the URL-embed option entirely by allowing none (<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/80092">#80092</a>). Existing embeds keep working; only new URL input in the editor is restricted. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The details are already reflected in the<a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/core-blocks/core-blocks-media/core-block-cover/"> Cover block’s documentation</a>.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="gallery-and-the-attached-images-workflow-in-the-media-library-end-user-site-admin">Gallery and the attached images workflow in the Media Library <strong><sup>[end user][site admin]</sup></strong></h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Images you upload while writing a post have always been “attached” to that post. This specifically true for older sites, pre-Block editor. Attached images where no accessible as an cluster and need to be added the block editor canvas one at a time. WordPress 7.1 finally puts that relationship to work in the editor, via an additional filter drop-down item <strong>Uploaded to this post </strong>in the Media Library Inserter modal. Photos and other media you’ve uploaded stay within reach for reuse instead of disappearing into the media library. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Gallery block is the showcase: instead of hand-picking every image, a single <strong>Use attached images</strong> button populates a dynamic gallery from all media attached to the current post (<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/78796">#78796</a>). For content creators, this makes assembling image galleries faster and more flexible. It also helps reorganize image on older posts. The Source panel provides options for sorting the images. This brings the block editor handling of Gallery’s up to par with some features of the

The Image block’s new “Mark as decorative” checkbox tells assistive technologies to skip such an image entirely on the front end, by rendering it with role=”none” in the published post. It now eliminates the question, did we forget an alt=text or was it a deliberate decision to leave the alt-text empty?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is further processing to come with the checked box. Marking an image decorative clears its alt text and disables captions and links, since an image that links somewhere or explains something isn’t decorative by definition. Until now, the accessible route was knowing the empty-alt-text convention; the checkbox makes the intent explicit, machine-readable, and available to every content creator.

� ?� �aragraph">The Login/Logout block has an option to display a full login form instead of a simple link — but until now, that form’s submit button ignored your theme entirely, rendering with plain browser-default styles that stuck out next to every other button on the site. With a block theme active, the submit button now carries the standard button classes (wp-block-button__link and wp-element-button), so it automatically picks up the button styling your theme defines in theme.json — colors, border radius, and all — with no custom CSS required. The block follows the same approach the Comments form already uses, resolving a mismatch first reported back in 2023. (<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/76746">76746</a>)</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Navigation block picks up several improvements that give site builders more freedom in what a menu can contain and where it can be edited. The Login/Logout block can now be<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75497"> nested inside submenus</a> (#75497), handy for tucking account actions into a “My Account” dropdown instead of spending a top-level slot on them. New links can be<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75918"> created directly from the sidebar List View</a> in the Site Editor (#75918), so building out a menu no longer requires clicking into each item on the canvas. And the Home Link block<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/76672"> gains previously missing controls</a> (#76672), bringing it up to par with its navigation siblings.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="search-block-styling-theme-builder-site-admin-end-user">Search block Styling<sup><strong>[theme builder]</strong> <strong>[site admin][end user]</strong></sup></h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A styling gap is closed in the release for the Search block: color settings now apply to the search input field even when the search button is disabled (<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/77219">77219</a>), so your search boxes match your design system regardless of which display options you choose.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The block also embraces modern HTML: it can now render inside the native <search> landmark element, which carries search semantics for browsers and assistive technologies without the manual role=”search” attribute. Because dropping that attribute could break existing theme CSS, the feature is opt-in — per block via a new HTML element selector in the Advanced panel, or site-wide with add_theme_support( ‘search-element’ ) (#78485). Default output is unchanged, with a path to making the modern markup the default in a future release.(<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/78485">78485</a>)</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress 7.0 shifted pattern editing to focus on content changes rather than exposing every tool, treating patterns more like single blocks. In 7.1, work focuses on UX refinements based on feedback, bug fixes, and general maintenance. For users inserting and customizing patterns, this means a more polished, predictable experience with fewer rough edges.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="editor-enhancements">Editor enhancements </h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Beyond the block improvements, the editing experience itself picks up refinements across the board. Notes mature into a fuller commenting workflow. Visual revisions gain a more detailed timeline. And your site’s brand identity gets a dedicated home in the Site Editor.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="notes-move-toward-a-full-commenting-workflow-end-user-site-admin-developer-enterprise">Notes move toward a full commenting workflow <sup>[end user][site admin]<strong>[developer]</strong>[enterprise]</sup></h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Notes, the inline editorial comments right in the editor, continue to mature, with several additions in this release that make asynchronous collaboration richer and easier to act on without leaving WordPress.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The headline feature:<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/78218"> inline notes</a>. You can now attach a note to a specific text selection rather than to a whole block. Select part of a paragraph, add a note, and the highlight stays anchored to that text as you keep editing around it. A single block can carry multiple inline notes, sorted by the order they appear, and none of the highlighting shows up in the published post. Also, blocks are no longer limited to a single conversation, either — you can start<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75147"> multiple note threads on the same block</a>.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The conversations themselves got more expressive, too. Notes now support<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/78242"> rich text formatting</a> — bold, italic, links, and code. <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/79604">@mention autocomplete</a> makes it quick to pull a colleague into a thread. Longer notes collapse behind a<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/77446"> “Show more” toggle</a>, and a<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/80019"> “Resolved” divider</a> in the sidebar separates finished discussions from open ones, so it’s easy to see what still needs attention.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ever needed to fix a comment that landed in the wrong thread?

Top-level comments just show “None.”</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can’t create broken threads with it: the dropdown hides the comment itself and anything nested under it, and the server double-checks on save — the new parent has to be on the same post and can’t be the comment or one of its own replies (anything invalid gets bounced with a WP_Error). If the current parent wouldn’t normally show up in the list (a pingback, say), it’s kept in there as the selected option, so saving without touching the field changes nothing. Works without JavaScript too, and there are tests covering the validation. (<a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65570">65570</a>)</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Media Library grid now uses infinite scrolling by default, so attachments load continuously as you scroll instead of behind a “Load more” button. For anyone who prefers the previous behavior, there’s a new personal option: a “Disable infinite scrolling in the Media Library grid view” checkbox on the profile screen. The setting only appears for users who can actually upload files, since others never see the attachment grid.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For developers, the existing media_library_infinite_scrolling filter still works and now takes top precedence: a hooked filter always wins, followed by the user’s profile preference, with infinite scrolling enabled when neither is set. Note the filter’s default value has flipped from false to true as of 7.1.0, so any code relying on the old default should be reviewed. The change ships with unit tests covering the new user option and the full precedence chain (<a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65564">65564</a>).</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="post-editor-iframe-now-always-on">Post editor iframe now always on</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Other editors in WordPress—the site editor, the template editor, and block, template, and device previews—have been unconditionally iframed for a long time, going back to the template editor’s introduction in 5.8. The post editor was the holdout: starting in 7.0, whether it ran isolated depended on the blocks actually present in a given post, so a post using only Block API v3+ blocks got the isolated canvas, while a post containing even one older block (API v1 or v2) dropped out of it entirely. That meant the same site, even the same author, could see the editor behave differently from post to post. <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75187">In 7.1, that condition is removed</a>: every post editor is always iframed, regardless of theme type or block API version.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For most people writing and editing content, this is good news—no more switching behavior depending on which blocks happen to be inserted. Block developers have a bit of homework, though: the iframe has its own document and window, separate from the admin page where editor scripts run, so any code that reaches for the global document or window to touch the canvas will now be looking at the wrong place. The usual fix is to get the canvas’s document from an element inside it (via ownerDocument and its defaultView) rather than the global object, and to use useRefEffect for attaching and cleaning up canvas event listeners.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Theme authors can now define <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/73320">text shadows directly in theme.json</a> via a new textShadow property under styles.typography. It works everywhere you’d expect: at the root level, per-block (say, a shadow on paragraphs only), via style variations, and on elements — including pseudo-selectors like a link’s :hover state. Any valid CSS text-shadow value is accepted, including stacked multi-shadow definitions. Block placeholder text in the editor resets the shadow so it stays readable regardless of what the theme sets.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="text-align-block-support-migration">Text-Align Block Support Migration</h4>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Eight more core blocks (Post Date, Post Excerpt, Post Navigation Link, Post Title, Query Title, Site Tagline, Site Title, Pullquote and Term Name) now use WordPress’s standardized <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/block-api/block-supports/#align">text-align system</a>. As part of a larger <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/60763">migration effort</a> this update ensures consistent alignment controls across the editor and makes these blocks behave predictably alongside newer blocks. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress EndUser are not supposed to see any changes and existing blocks continue to work. Theme designers are now able to style any of these blocks text align via theme.json property. The code example shows how to set the center as the site-wide TextAlign default. And `”textAlign”: false` disables the feature for this block </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When set to false, the toolbar button and block options menu item are hidden. In this regard, it makes this block support consistent with color, typography etc.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">blockVisibility.allowEditing follows the layout flag. The reason is the two-fold nature of blockVisibility at the block supports level: a bool means don’t render the block at all, but viewport settings allow users to control visibility per viewport.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The object shape also leaves the door open to extending block visibility to triggers, not only blockVisibility.viewports but others like post type or whatever. (<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/76559">76559</a>).</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="block-supports-css-variables-by-feature-selector">Block Supports: CSS variables by feature selector</h4>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Block Supports<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75226"> now generates CSS custom properties</a> based on a block’s feature-specific selectors, not just its root selector. Some blocks—the Button block is the example given—define their outer wrapper and an inner styling target as different elements, and previously there was no way to output a preset variable (like a dimension size) onto that inner element specifically. Theme and plugin authors building design systems now have a way to target the right element per feature, without needing custom CSS to work around the mismatch.</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="a-minimum-width-option-for-block-dimensions">A minimum-width option for block dimensions</h4>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Blocks already supported height, minHeight, and width. What was missing was a way to stop something from shrinking too far—so a layout element wouldn’t collapse into an unusable sliver on a narrow screen. <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/76949">Minimum-width closes that gap</a>, mirroring how minimum-height already works.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s opt-in at the block level: the control stays hidden in the inspector until a block explicitly enables it, though it shows by default in the global styles panel. Theme-defined dimension presets carry over automatically, so existing spacing scales just work. The Group block is the first to adopt it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You’ll find more details in the Dev Note <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/2026/07/26/new-block-support-in-wordpress-7-1-minimum-width/">New Block Support in WordPress 7.1: Minimum Width</a></p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="design-system-theme-provider">Design System Theme Provider </h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first version of the design system’s theme component arrives in WordPress 7.1. It consists of standardized CSS custom properties that follow the W3C Design Tokens specification. You probably won’t spot the difference right away — the default theme was deliberately built to match existing styles — but this is the machinery that will power the admin color scheme in the Site Editor. You can read more details on the future direction in the <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/2026/07/07/merge-proposal-design-system-theming/">Merge Proposal: Design System Theming</a> </p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="admin-color-schemes-in-site-editor">Admin color schemes in Site Editor</h4>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Site Editor’s sidebar and interface now respect your chosen WordPress admin color scheme instead of always showing a dark background. This brings visual consistency across the post editor, Site Editor, and admin dashboard. If you’ve personalized WordPress with a color scheme you prefer, that choice now carries through everywhere you work. <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/78397">78397</a></p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="mix-static-html-with-editable-blocks">Mix static HTML with editable blocks</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A new innerContent block support lets a block keep static HTML fragments interleaved with editable inner blocks as the canonical source of its own markup. In practice, this means a hand-written HTML structure can have just a piece of it—a paragraph, an image—editable in place, while the rest stays fixed and can’t be moved, removed, or rearranged.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Custom HTML block is the first adopter: pasting HTML with a block comment delimiter embedded in it (for example, a <!– wp:paragraph –> block inside a larger static <div>) makes that inner piece editable directly in the canvas, while the surrounding markup remains locked in place. It’s a narrow, developer-facing capability for now—the HTML block is the only place it’s wired up—but it opens the door for custom blocks to offer the same kind of “mostly static, partly editable” experience going forward. (<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/79115">79115</a>)</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The dev note can be found on the Make Core Blog: <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/2026/07/23/editable-blocks-inside-the-custom-html-block/">Editable blocks inside the Custom HTML block</a> </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="block-bindings-for-list-items-and-inner-blocks">Block Bindings for list-items and inner blocks</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The List Item block has gained Block Bindings support. A List Item’s content can now be connected to a data source—a custom field, a pattern override, or another registered source—so individual entries in a list can be populated dynamically rather than typed in by hand. The change <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/78947">registers content as a bindable attribute</a> for core/list-item.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/79346">A related fix rounds out the feature</a>: previously, if a bound List Item also contained a nested sub-list, that nested list was dropped when the binding was rendered. Now a List Item can carry a bound value and a nested list beneath it at the same time. In practice, this means multi-level lists—say, a team member’s name pulled from a custom field, with a nested list of their current projects underneath—can now be fully dynamic without losing structure.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tracking: <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/77199">Block Bindings in WordPress 7.1</a> (#77199)</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="connectors-authentication-improvements">Connectors authentication improvements</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Connectors framework, which manages WordPress’s connections to external services like AI providers, now supports username and application password authentication as an alternative to API keys. A <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/79403">merged pull request</a> adds a default connector form for this method, along with the underlying authentication type, mirroring the equivalent API already available in WordPress Core.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The change also handles the practical details: saved passwords are masked in the UI and over REST, credentials can be set via constants or environment variables instead of the database, and a <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/12264">companion Core patch</a> keeps the two in sync. For connectors that require an account login rather than a bare API key, this removes the need for a custom settings screen.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This lands alongside a broader <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/78647">open proposal for a PHP-side field registry</a> that would let connector authors declare arbitrary settings—model choice, temperature, custom URLs, and more—the way register_setting() works elsewhere in WordPress. That registry isn’t built yet; the application password work is a first, concrete step (new auth method, not new field types), addressing one of the two gaps the proposal identified rather than the full vision.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="blocks-package-stabilizes-two-experimental-functions">Blocks package stabilizes two experimental functions</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/79928">Blocks package stabilizes</a> cloneSanitizedBlock and sanitizeBlockAttributes, dropping their __experimental prefixes now that the functions have been stable in practice for some time. The old __experimental-prefixed names still work but will log a deprecation notice, so plugins or themes importing them directly should switch to the new names.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="accessible-tooltips-and-toggle-tips-api">Accessible tooltips and toggle tips API</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress adds a core mechanism for accessible tooltips (<a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/51006">51006</a>), offering an alternative to the title attribute, which is not available to keyboard and touch users. Two new functions cover different use cases: wp_get_tooltip() exposes an accessible name when a control has focus or hover, such as for icon-only buttons, and wp_get_toggletip() implements a popover disclosure with extended help information that stays open until dismissed. Both generate accessible markup that avoids excess verbosity for screen readers and follows best practices for voice command users.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first toggle tip in core explains the “Remember Me” option on the login screen (<a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/55343">55343</a>). Plugin developers can use the functions for their own settings screens and metaboxes. (<a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/62741">62741</a>)</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:00:19] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Welcome to the Jukebox Podcast from WP Tavern. My name is Nathan Wrigley.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jukebox is a podcast which is dedicated to all things WordPress. The people, the events, the plugins, the blocks, the themes, and in this case, testing secure WordPress hosting, does the marketing match the reality?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’d like to subscribe to the podcast, you can do that by searching for WP Tavern in your podcast player of choice, or by going to wptavern.com/feed/podcast, and you can copy that URL into most podcast players.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you have a topic that you’d like us to feature on the podcast, I’m keen to hear from you and hopefully get you, or your idea, featured on the show. Head to wptavern.com/contact/jukebox, and use the form there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So on the podcast today we have Maciek Palmowski. Maciek is based in Poland and works at Patchstack, one of the companies in the WordPress ecosystem dedicated specifically to security. At Patchstack, Maciek collaborates with other security professionals on industry reports, bug bounty programmes, and solutions for agencies, product owners, and hosting companies aiming to secure their client sites.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I met up with Maciek at WordCamp Europe, and we discussed his presentation there. It examined the claims of secure hosting made by many WordPress hosting providers. He describes how Patchstack set out to test these claims with real world penetration testing, using 30 known plugin vulnerabilities across multiple hosts. Employing standardised methodologies and validating their results independently.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The findings are sobering. The majority of WordPress specific attacks still get through, and there’s a significant gap between the marketing hype and real protection.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The conversation starts with Maciek’s background, and how his journey in the WordPress security space led to a focus on the promises made by hosts.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From there, the discussion gets into the research approach, the selection of well-known vulnerabilities, consistent testing across different hosting environments, and the surprising result that even hosts with identical security tooling produce drastically different outcomes, showing it’s not just about the tools you use, but how you use them.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We talk about the Swiss cheese model of security, every layer will have holes, so you need multiple overlapping defences, and honest communication from hosts about their limitations.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We also explored whether an industry-wide standard, or badge, for secure hosting is feasible or even desirable, given how easy it is for strong marketing claims to outpace reality.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI also enters the conversation, increasing both the speed and sophistication of attacks, and making patching, and processes, even more important, especially as the volume of vulnerabilities continues to rise and the time to exploitation drops.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re interested in understanding what secure hosting really means, how to ask intelligent questions of providers, and the realities of WordPress security in 2026, this episode is for you.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’d like to find out more, you can find all of the links in the show notes by heading to wptavern.com/podcast, where you’ll find all the other episodes as well.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so without further delay, I bring you Maciek Palmowski.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:56] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> I am joined on the podcast by Maciek Palmowski. Hello Maciek.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Perfect. You did great.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:04:01] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> For some reason, your name has got into my head. A lot of the people that I interview, I struggle with their name, and I continue to struggle, but for some reason, I established many years ago that was how to say your name. And I think I’ve done it correctly ever since then.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:04:16] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> Yes you did. You’re almost having the typical Polish accent, so you’re doing great.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:04:21] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So we are at WordCamp Europe, which is in Krakow, or Krakow, I don’t know how.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:04:26] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> Krakow.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:04:27] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Thank you, that was good. And the reason Maciek is correcting my pronunciation is because Maciek is actually from Poland, which I suppose means that this is a bit of a, well, it’s like a home game to you.</p>
<p class="wp-bloѼ��[��� � [�(:
� ?� �ck-paragraph">[00:04:37] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> In a way so, but it’s also like a bit of a shame because I do like travelling when WordCamp Europe’s are happening. And, you know, just hopping on the train and going to Krakow, it was like a, I mean it’s cool because, yeah, the venue’s amazing, everything is great, but still I’m staying home, so yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:04:53] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, mixed feelings. So Maciek has done, or is going to do a presentation at WordCamp EU. Have you done it yet?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:05:02] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> I will do it tomorrow.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:05:04] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Okay. And are you all set, are you one of these like really prepared people that has all the slides done, or are you last minute?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:05:11] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> Everything is ready. I already did one version of it at the Checkout Summit in Palermo, so.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:05:17] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Oh I see. So you’ve had a sort of dry run of elsewhere.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:05:19] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> Of course.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:05:20] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Excellent. So the presentation, which is going to be the focus of today’s conversation, is called Testing the promise, does secure hosting deliver? And I may as well read the blurb because it was a reasonably short one.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So it says, secure hosting, in quotes, is everywhere in WordPress. What does it actually protect against? We put this claim to the test with real penetration testing. 30 known vulnerabilities, multiple hosting providers, standardised methodology, validated by independent observers. The findings reveal a critical gap between marketing and reality. WordPress specific attacks succeed most of the time. That’s quite an alarming sentence. This talk shares the complete results and explains why generic security fails.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, we’ll get into that in a moment. But as with all people, when I’m talking to them about security, I guess it’s good to establish who you are, and what your credentials are and what you’ve done, and how is it that you get to talk about security with authority. So over to you really, a little moment to give us your bio and tell us about you.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:06:20] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> Okay. So I work at Patchstack, and Patchstack is one of those few companies in WordPress space that are doing a lot in terms of security. We are constantly running this bug bounty for the whole ecosystem. We have quite a few solutions for both clients and hosting companies, and I work there right now. My role is, if I remember, the Growth Team Engineer, something like this.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But yeah, I do spend a lot of time working with other security people. So when we are working on all the reports, when we are checking the data, I’m also part of those teams that are working on it. So yeah, I think I know a thing or two about what is happening behind the scenes when it comes to WordPress security.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:07:02] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, thank you. Always good to get that established though, right at the outset.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Patchstack is a company which is not a host though, I suppose that’s important to mention at the beginning. It’s a company which is in the security space, very much in the WordPress space, but perhaps more broad than WordPress, I’m not sure. But not a hosting company.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But obviously your presentation focuses its aim on hosting, I guess because that’s one of the places where the claim about security is most often made. You know, you’ll go to a, the landing page of hosting Company X, and you’ll see somewhere fairly near the top, secure hosting, or something along those lines. And you’ve decided to examine that in fine detail and look at these 30 vulnerabilities.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I guess really just tell us about this test and what it is that you decided to do and some of the items that came out of that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:07:50] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> Okay, so maybe let’s start with how it even started, right? Because there was a trigger. At some point we published one report about the state of WordPress security. We tweeted about this. We got the response from none other than Matt Mullenweg, who kind of asked a very interesting question, but isn’t hosting companies taking care of this already?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And this was, kind of at this moment when we were, we thought that we know the answer that, no they aren’t. But to be honest, we didn’t have any broader proof about this.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We knew how it’s working at some hosting companies, but we could say that it was more of an anecdotal evidence that we had. So this was kind of the trigger that made us, okay, let’s check this. But not with one partner or two partners, but with more hosting companies.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So we did this research twice. First we just did kind of a beta run because we weren’t sure about the result and, is it even a good idea to go deeper inside of it? And during our first run, we were already very surprised because like the methodology was very simple. We just installed vulnerable plugins and we checked if we would be able to use the vulnerability. Because if the hosting is claiming that, we got your back, we are making your website secure, we have this and that, this means that they should protect against it. So it was as simple as that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And when we were doing our first test, we were quite surprised because we saw, if I remember, that 80% of the attacks went through. 80% of the attacks. So our first reaction was, okay, we are doing something wrong. Okay, this was only few hosting companies, less plugins, but still the result were so surprising for us because we thought that, okay, that the problem exists, but it’s not that big of a problem. But it was.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So that’s why we did the second test. And this is about which the, my talk will be mostly when we tested more hosting companies, more plugins. And we saw that the problem still exists.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Of course it was, in some cases 70 few percent. So still, it’s a huge problem, especially if we are talking about some companies that are literally saying, you don’t have to install anything additional when it comes to security on your website. We got your back. They don’t. We found a lot of interesting things, but still the problem exists.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:10:21] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So just deep diving into that a little bit, when tests like this are done, there’s obviously, the claim might be levelled, you know, obviously Patchstack would, this kind of maybe benefits Patchstack, if you know what I mean.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So let’s just sort of clear up what the test involved. So presumably the plugins that you chose are ones where it’s publicly known that there’s a vulnerability in this component or this particular file or what have you. So is that the case? This is stuff that, longstanding understanding that there’s a problem here.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:10:51] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> Yes. We only use the plugins that we had all the proof of concepts. So we know how have the vulnerability happened, what was the attack vector? They were all reported through our bug bounty programme, because that’s why we had the proof of concept. Yeah, and that’s it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It was, like I said, it was as simple as that. We had a really broad mix of all the plugins. How many? It was 30 something of those plugins, if I remember. Different ones. Some were connected with WooCommerce. So, like a very broad selection of them. Different vulnerability types. So we try to mix it up as much as possible.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:11:27] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Was the situation for each hosting company the same though? In other words, was the things that you did in one hosting environment the exact same as you did in another hosting environment? No. You mixed that up a bit as well.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:11:38] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> I mean we used all the same plugins, like the methodology was always the same. But we got totally different results. Even if, and this was one of the most interesting findings, because very often hostings will put a logo of some company that takes care of security. For example, say, Cloudflare. And despite using the same stack for security, they got different results.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:12:02] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Interesting.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:12:03] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> So it turns out, in many cases, it’s not about the tools that you are using, it’s how you are using them, which was very interesting. And we did everything. We tried to enable every feature, every security features on those hosting, to kind of give them a chance to kind of make sure that they are defending the most as they can.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And the result in most cases was very simple. They were doing quite well with the generic ones like uploads, patch reversal, things like this, which are very generic in PHP. But with those WordPress specific attacks, they just failed miserably.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:12:44] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> That’s so interesting. The word secure hosting, which you’ll see all over the place, it feels a bit like using the word healthy on food. There’s no real definition of what healthy is. You know, a company selling chocolate could probably pretend that it’s healthy compared to something else.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:13:04] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> Like here, healthy chocolate is exactly, like in some cases secure hosting.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:13:07] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Right. So what do you take from this then? I mean basically, is your survey saying that whenever you see the word secure hosting, be sceptical?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:13:16] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> Yes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:13:16] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Okay. As simple as that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:13:18] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> It’s as simple as that. Because one of the things that we were always promoting, security is not a plugin, it’s not a one button thing. Security is a process. It’s layers.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And that’s kind of why we, especially after this report starting kind of using the term, Swiss cheese layer model. Because every layer will fail in some way. That’s also why you still need all the security solutions that hosting provides, because they do have a lot of interesting solutions against those generic attacks.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because they’re doing really great when it comes to those generic ones. And that’s great because some of the attacks will be already dealt with. So whatever passes to the second layer, it has less work to do because a lot of it was already stopped at the first layer. The second layer should be something more WordPress specific that understand what is installed. And with this it can catch also a lot of it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But still, you have to be prepared that, because again, this layer also isn’t perfect. Because there are zero days vulnerabilities, there are custom code, there are a lot of things that can happen, that your website will be hacked. I mean, weak password. Simple as that. That’s why you also need to have a layer, which will be more of what to do if everything else fails. Because you do need to know that you have to inform your clients, all the GDPR related things. How to kind of, I don’t know, use the backups.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In short you need to have procedures. You have to be prepared before the attack happens. Because let’s be honest, asking some lawyers about, what should we send to our clients? The moment when, well, the milk is already spilled. It’s like the worst moment to think about it. Especially that, hey, your website was just hacked. It’s not just a technical problem, it’s also a business problem. Again, with those GDPRs and everything.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So yeah, the more layers, the better. You still need to remember, every layer can fail in some place. That’s why the more, the better.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:15:29] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Would you like to see a standard industry-wide definition of something like a badge or, I don’t know, let’s say for example, that you put the word secure hosting on your website, that has to actually stand for something.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because obviously coming from the background that you do with a broad oversight on what that is, you have a vast amount of data at your disposal. You can see all of this kind of stuff. But every company can make the claim that our food is healthy, our hosting is secure. But I don’t know, in the model that we’ve got where any company can put anything they like on a website, I don’t really know how you do that, but some sort of accreditation or something. I don’t know.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:16:08] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> Honestly, it’s really difficult because as I said before, a lot of companies using the same tools were failing in different ways. So that’s a problem. On the other hand, like sometimes the, those stupid things like weak passwords. And it doesn’t matter that you had a, let’s call it a certified secure hosting, you still failed because your password was weak, you know? So, also certificates like this can backfire because some people might think I have a secure hosting, I don’t have to worry about things. And then you have 10 admin accounts for everyone.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:16:43] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Is there is there something, some mark of that description that you, personally, that you go looking for though? Is there some credentialing system which you think actually does carry some weight? So for example, I don’t know, like the insurance space or the accountancy space or something like that. You have to have that accreditation in order to do business. Is there something like that? Is there a mark which hosting companies can apply for which you could have some confidence in it?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:17:13] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> Okay. So for sure one of those things would be, and I don’t want to say it as an advertisement, but it is a thing that you see that the hosting is thinking a bit better about security, kind of looking if they are a Patchstack partner. Because this kind of automatically means that they do have this WordPress, the security WordPress layer. So that’s already a good sign.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So yeah, I would start with this. I think that’s kind of one of the simplest ways, but again, Patchstack isn’t the only solution that does it. So looking for partners of such companies might be the best way to start because ha�[�(:wv�� � [�jj
� ?� �ving those Patchstack aware security solutions built in, into the hosting is a really good sign.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:18:05] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, okay. Now, the inevitable conversation in the year 2026 is AI. It doesn’t matter which area of WordPress you’re talking about. AI manages to get in somewhere. I am presuming that the landscape in terms of security only got more complicated because of AI. Because I’m imagining that attacks that needed to be conceived by a human can now be conceived in a fraction of the time by an AI agent. But not just one, maybe a dozen or a thousand or whatever it may be.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let’s just talk about that for a moment. It feels almost as if AI and security are like, that’s a real systemic problem for the future of the entire industry. Because these things can happen so fast, a plugin vulnerability is discovered by an AI agent. It then discovers the attack surface, implements the attack all in a matter of seconds, possibly. What’s the position? Like, how do we stay calm basically in the year 2026?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:19:09] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> So the problem already existed around a year ago, because a year ago when we did our State of WordPress Security Report, we already saw that vulnerabilities are being used after around five hours after kind of being published. So five hours. That’s the first thing, because we still have a lot of people that say, yeah, just update your WordPress weekly and you’re good to go. No, you’re not. Looking at this number, you have five hours.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:19:39] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Okay. Let’s just parse that at the moment. So the vulnerability is published. So there’s a whole thing there, like the vulnerability may well have been discovered prior to being published, so that’s a whole other thing.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:19:52] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> So first the vulnerability is discovered. Then at least how it works on, with our bug bounty. We inform the vendor they have, let’s say around a month to fix it. When they fix it, we publish everything and, yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:20:09] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Okay, so from the moment you publish, you can then detect that that is being leveraged within a space of five hours.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:20:17] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> Yes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:20:17] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Okay, that’s really interesting.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:20:19] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> But there is a problem. There is a really big problem. So if the vendor doesn’t respond, we still publish it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:20:26] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> How long do you give them? Is it like.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:20:27] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> It is the one month.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:20:28] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Okay, thirty days.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:20:30] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> Of course, if they reach out that there is some problem, they need like extra days. But in most cases, we’re talking about the vendors that just don’t respond at all. We publish it anyway.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But the problem is that, from all the vulnerabilities that were discovered last year, 50% weren’t patched at the moment of publishing about it. 50%.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:20:50] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So half of the plugins where there was a known vulnerability, the vendor had been informed, they’d had this 30 day window. Half of them made no amendment to their code.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:21:01] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> Exactly.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:21:02] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Okay. Wow, okay.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:21:03] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> Again, going back to this classical, yeah, just update your WordPress regularly. No.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:21:08] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> No, that’s a really different surface, isn’t it?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:21:11] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> It doesn’t work on so many levels. Because not only the problem is with the fact that, still the famous five hours, which also, it’s five hours now. It was much longer a few years ago. On the other hand, yeah, most of those, I mean around half of it aren’t patched, so the attacks will happen quicker than it get patched. So yeah, there is a lot of problems like this. And also the problem with security is that it’s really difficult to sell.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:21:39] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> It’s like insurance, isn’t it?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:21:40] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> Yeah. But insurance, okay, you see your car, your house, it’s real. It’s real, you kind of see it. The only category of websites that it’s much easier to kind of explain is e-commerce.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:21:54] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yes. You can feel the tightening on your wallet.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:21:56] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> They literally see the money. They can kind of really, okay, one hour of my website not working equals this and this Złotys or Euros or whatever. So that’s easier to explain. But for most people, yeah, security, meh.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:22:11] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah. That’s really interesting. So you mentioned, about this survey, you mentioned that fully 80% of your penetration testing resulted in something. What were the sort of, the high level items? Apart from that 80% figure. What were some of the other, because you said there were a few interesting things that dropped out of it. Can you mention anything else?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:22:31] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> So like I said, one of the things was that we learned that, despite using the same tools, we got different results. That was also a surprise for us.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:22:39] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So let’s just figure that out. So at hosting company A, we’ve got a WordPress website with the same collection of plugins in. Hosting company B, exactly the same as far as you can make it the same, but things are different.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:22:52] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> No, no, they are, for example, they’re using for security the same tools.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:22:56] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Right, okay.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:22:57] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> So in theory, if they’re using the same tools, we should have exactly the same results.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:23:03] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So does that then point to a different set of configurations on the backend, or is it more curious than that? You just don’t quite know what’s going on.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:23:12] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> I mean because it’s not something that they will tell us. But yeah, in most cases, it’s all about configuration because the fact that you’re using a tool, it’s also important how you use a tool.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Also, with security is very often about, is something easy to use or is something secure? And kind of finding the balance. So some of the companies probably had a bit more aggressive configuration, which is better from the security point of view, but probably more often result in some annoying side effects for the user.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Also what, this was one of the most interesting things, but also what was very interesting because we contacted every company afterwards and we informed them that we did the test. Here are the results, what went through, what was blocked. And some of the companies did an amazing job of fixing whatever they could. On the other hand, we saw that some of the companies, because we did some extra tests later just to check what they did with our report, did nothing.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That’s one of the things about security in general, not about the hosting, about even having vulnerability in your plugin. That’s normal that we make mistakes. We’re humans, right? So that’s normal. What’s important is how we deal with them. If you have a problem and you fix it as quickly as possible, as good as possible, that’s great because you learn from your mistakes, you fix it, and you move on. Perfect. Good job. Now you are in a much better position than before. But if you get this, you look at it and you say, ah, this is fine, that’s the worst behaviour from the security point of view that you can have.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:24:57] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I’m going to ask you not to name names here, but were some of the companies familiar to us?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:25:05] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> For sure, because we did test the biggest ones. But there is a reason why we didn’t want to name them, and it wasn’t about that we were afraid that I know someone will get mad or whatever. It was more about this weird side effect that could happen.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some users would think, my hosting isn’t on this list, so probably I’m secure. Probably you’re not, you just weren’t in the test. Because we also did some site checks and everything. And we saw that a lot of those problems happen at most of the hosting companies. And like I said, the more important part was how did they reacted after getting the report. Like I said, it was a more common problem that we even thought.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:25:43] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Do you, obviously, you know, caveat all of this with the fact that you work for Patchstack and what have you, do you see it even as the role of a hosting company to have any position on security publicly? Or would you prefer them not to make grand claims about things that you believe they can’t necessarily substantiate?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I don’t really know where I’m going with that question, but I’m just wondering if there’s just a sense that the language that’s being used is too strong. You know, secure hosting implies we’ve got all the padlocks, and the padlocks are there and you’ve got nothing to worry about. You’ve found a different picture. So I’m just wondering whether or not you would just prefer that the hosting companies stop talking about this altogether.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:26:27] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> I do think that’s, one of the biggest problem here is about the claims, the bold claims, the whole marketing around it. Sometimes even you can find documentation of some of them that, yeah, you don’t need to install any third party tool because we got you covered. We checked it, no they didn’t. So that’s kind of the problem.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s really more about the, how they market it. If they would say, okay, so we have a really performant hosting that does this, this and this. When it comes to security, kind of do it yourself. I mean we are providing this layer, but the rest is up to you. And that’s okay. That’s an honest claim. We are not doing everything for you. We are doing this part, but this is up to you. This would be much better.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I know that from the marketing point of view, it doesn’t sound as good as, we got all the security that you can imagine, don’t have to worry about this. Because that’s kind of the thing that very often managed hosts trying to sell, that you don’t have to worry about things. You just have to focus on whatever you have, writing content, selling stuff. If you have a e-commerce, whatever, that’s it. That’s kind of the only thing you should think of. Not about performance, because we got your back. Not about security, again, we got your back. And if you are paying for a managed hosting and suddenly they would start having like this different way of messaging to, it’s not that obvious that we have your back in everything. That would be very difficult for them.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So now it’s kind of the problem that, because everyone is kind of using this messaging, everyone else also has to. And also if we think about how a lot of those algorithms, look like that algorithms love bold claims. They want something white or black, not grey. And the truth is, most of the things we are talking about, it doesn’t matter, security, SEO performance, it’s everything in the grey zone. That’s why a lot of developers can end their talk with, yeah, it depends. There is no right or wrong. It depends because there are so many things you have to think about.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I could say that, and this is my kind of thing that, most of the websites that people have should be static. They don’t need even WordPress at all. This is a horrible claim if you’re a manager of a WordPress hosting, right? So that’s the thing. But it all depends on so many things, but yeah, the messaging is important.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:29:08] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, if you were, on a personal level, if you were going out there looking and let’s say, if you can somehow put your job hat to one side, what would be the kind of things that you would be looking for? What questions would you be asking related to security if you were to be going to these companies?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From everything that you said, obviously it’s not black, it’s not white, it’s definitely grey. So every setup has some way of being vulnerable. But what are the kind of intelligent questions that you would be bringing to hosts to get some reassurance that at least they appear to know what they’re doing, even if they can’t make the claim that they’re a hundred percent cast iron, water tight? What might be some intelligent questions to start asking?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:29:49] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> One of the best questions you can ask is just, is there any solution in your security stack that is WordPress aware? Not the general one. Because if they only start talking about some web firewall, things like this, it’s already kind of a red flag. Because this is, overall, if we’re talking about firewalls, that’s not the correct layer about which, this is the generic one.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So this is the main question. How do you take care of WordPress specific attacks? Simple question. And if they will start responding, yeah, that we have this web application firewall that, in most cases this will be a sign that, no, we are not talking about the correct layer. That’s not it. It’s probably not aware about what is happening in WordPress.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:30:40] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Okay. So given that this is a WordPress podcast, and we are at a WordPress event, that would be the beginning of your questioning is demonstrate that something in your stack is specific to WordPress.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:30:52] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> Exactly.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:30:53] <strong>Nathan Wrigleywv��[�jj;�O � [���
� ?� �:</strong> Okay. And beyond that, is there any questions that, so let’s imagine that they come back with, yes, we have something specific, it’s WordPress. What would be sort of sensible follow up questions?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:31:00] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> I mean you can kind of start off about, okay, what exactly you are using? Because there is a limited amount of tools that are really WordPress aware. So if they will answer with kind of a product name, that’s kind of the easy way that then you can check it on your own. But that’s kind of the thing. Is it WordPress aware?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:31:19] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Does it worry you in some way that there’s this perception out there that WordPress is insecure? You know, if you ask a thousand people, you’d maybe get 800 saying, oh WordPress, you know, we’re not touching that with a barge pole.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Do you worry that content like this, that you are putting out, that that might fuel that fire? Does it concern you in any way that it might lean into the argument that, I don’t know, somebody can link to that blog post from a rival CMS, or a SaaS platform, which does something similar to WordPress? Where do you sit on that?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:31:51] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> That’s a really difficult question. And this is one of the questions that when I talk on non WordPress events, I love to ask people. Is WordPress secure? And in most cases, I see that most of the room is, yes, it’s unsecure for sure. And I’m like, no, that’s not true. WordPress is secure. Every year there is just a few minor vulnerabilities in Core. That’s it. The problem is, of course, that WordPress on its own lacks some functionality. That’s why we install plugins.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And here we enter another problem because, okay, every year we have like thousands of those vulnerabilities in general in plugins. On the other hand, we have thousands of plugins. So kind of statistics will always look bad. But that’s why every time when you want to select a new plugin, you need to do some research. Yeah, I know it’s boring and everything but, hey, now we have AI, you can do it much quicker. It can help you a lot.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But looking at all those databases, for example, we have one database, WPScan has. There are those databases of WordPress vulnerabilities that occur to every plugin. And you can see, is the plugin you’re interested in had a lot of vulnerabilities? On the other hand, how it kind of looked historically. It’s not just about the number of them. In general, it requires some research.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And yeah, if we are just like looking at this, and this kind of vibe that right now we have that we are just about really bold opinions stated quickly that will fit one TikTok, yeah, WordPress is in a horrible position because, let’s be honest, it’s like, if you have, I’m not sure how many seconds does a TikTok movie has?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:33:39] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I think 30.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:33:40] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> Okay, let’s say 30. So it will sound much better that you will say, yeah, WordPress is unsecure, which is not entirely true because it depends again. One of the most boring, especially again for those algorithms and everything, it’s a grey zone.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because we are collaborating with a lot of companies that are making plugins, and we see how their security flow looks like. How they are dealing with vulnerabilies that are discovered. And honestly, I’m amazed how well some of those companies are doing it. They are very serious about it. They understand how important it is. For them it’s something very important.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:34:22] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I suppose WordPress is a victim of its own success in that sense. And it would be a bit like, I guess a good analogy might be if you’ve got a car manufacturer and they produce a thousand cars a year and you compare them to Ford who make, let’s say, I don’t know, 20 million a year. And the question is, well, whose cars break down more often?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:34:41] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> Yeah. Do we look at the percentage of the number?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:34:44] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Right. And if you say, well, 400,000 Fords broke down last year, and one of these other manufacturer, you can immediately see why there’s a problem there. And that I think is the landscape in which WordPress is often painted. The reason there’s lots of publications like yours bringing out WordPress information is because it’s the most popular thing. It makes sense to write about the most popular thing and to try to find the vulnerabilities and disclose them in a sensible way. So I don’t know what we do with that. It is just the way it is.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:35:15] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> I would also say there is one more interesting aspect because WordPress is considered unsecure because of the plugins. But what’s funny, for example, Elementor is also considered unsecure because there are plugins for Elementor. This is a very weird moment when the thing that brought WordPress to its bigger success, security wise, is its biggest problem right now.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because WordPress did a lot of, I mean it was always great to, being as it’s kind of, let’s call it entry level CMS. For many people, it was also the way how they began the adventure with PHP development because it was so easy. Now we kind of have the, all the consequences of being that easy.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:36:06] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, in a sense, this is going to sound ridiculous, we should be glad that there’s people talking about WordPress vulnerabilities, because it means the project is successful. And it also means that it’s, there’s an industry of WordPress security solutions, and there are people who take this very seriously and dedicate their lives to it. And you may not find that in some of these other ones, you know, some of the smaller CMSs and things like that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I think we’ve probably hit about the sweet spot for the amount of time. But Maciek, I don’t know if there was anything in that report that you have got lined up in your presentation that I never got to. If there was a particular thread that you wanted to pull. If there is, go for it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:36:46] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> No, I think we covered all the important things. And as you kind of said, this AI aspect, this will change so many things.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:36:55] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, we’ll come back in two years and this conversation will be a very different thing.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:36:57] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> Oh, I think even in few months which will be very interesting. Yeah, so this aspect, it’s really very surprising. And I think that everyone who is right now kind of giving somewhere a talk about AI and security is in a very difficult spot because.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:37:14] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, your content is going to look stale quickly.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:37:16] <strong>Maciek Palmowski:</strong> Yeah because you know it’s like, but a week ago everything changed. Yeah, I have to rewrite everything.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:37:20] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Speaking of which, by the time that this goes out, hopefully you have managed to give out your presentation at WordCamp Europe. I will link to it and anything else that we’ve mentioned today in the WP Tavern post. So go and check that out. But I will specifically link to the wordpress.tv version of your presentation, which no doubt will have been created by then. So Maciek, thank you for chatting to me today. Good luck.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the podcast today we have <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/maciekpalmowski/">Maciek Palmowski</a>.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Maciek is based in Poland and works at <a href="https://patchstack.com">Patchstack</a>, one of the companies in the WordPress ecosystem dedicated specifically to security. At Patchstack, Maciek collaborates with other security professionals on industry reports, bug bounty programs, and solutions for agencies, product owners, and hosting companies aiming to secure their client sites.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I met up with Maciek at WordCamp Europe in Kraków, and we discussed his presentation there. It examined the claims of “secure hosting” made by many WordPress hosting providers. He describes how Patchstack set out to test these claims with real-world penetration testing, using 30 known plugin vulnerabilities across multiple hosts, employing standardised methodologies, and validating their results independently. The findings are sobering. The majority of WordPress-specific attacks still get through, and there’s a significant gap between the marketing hype and real protection.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The conversation starts with Maciek’s background and how his journey in the WordPress security space led to a focus on the promises made by hosts. From there, the discussion gets into the research approach: the selection of well-known vulnerabilities, consistent testing across different hosting environments, and the surprising result that even hosts with identical security tooling produced drastically different outcomes, showing it’s not just about what tools you use, but how you use them.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We talk about the “Swiss cheese” model of security, every layer will have holes, so you need multiple, overlapping defenses, and honest communication from hosts about their limitations. We also explored whether an industry-wide standard or badge for “secure hosting” is feasible or even desirable, given how easy it is for strong marketing claims to outpace reality.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI also enters the conversation, increasing both the speed and sophistication of attacks, and making patching and processes even more important, especially as the volume of vulnerabilities continues to rise and the time to exploitation drops.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re interested in understanding what “secure hosting” really means, how to ask intelligent questions of providers, and the realities of WordPress security in 2026, this episode is for you.</p>

AI assistants that discover, compare, and buy products on a shopper’s behalf. You’ll get an overview of where the big AI tools stand on in-chat checkout, plus reassurance that small stores can win with verifiable facts. Fylan’s checklist for getting ready: clear product descriptions, structured data, and making sure your robots.txt isn’t blocking the agents you want.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Dave Smith</strong>, core committer and Gutenberg contributor, thinks <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIyNUmX7sFc">WordPress has a homepage problem — and he built a better version</a> to prove it. In his video, he walks you through why setting a static homepage trips up so many beginners, then demos a prototype exploring a simpler, clearer approach. You can <a href="https://getdave.github.io/rsm-editor-prototype">try the live demo</a> yourself in the browser. Smith wants to know if the direction resonates, so drop your homepage struggles in the video’s comments.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In episode 226 of the WP Tavern Jukebox podcast, <strong>Nathan Wrigley </strong>talks with <strong>Jessica Lyschik</strong> about <a href="https://wptavern.com/podcast/226-jessica-lyschik-on-why-accessibility-in-wordpress-themes-is-easier-than-you-think">why accessibility in WordPress themes is easier than you think</a>. Fresh from her WordCamp Europe 2026 <a href="https://wordpress.tv/2026/06/05/accessibility-in-themes-easier-than-you-think/">talk,</a> Lyschik walks you through the recently updated accessibility-ready requirements, quick wins like correct HTML tags, alt text, and skip links, and why block themes make much of this effortless because Core handles it. The insight: AI agents navigate your site like screen readers do.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Ryan Welcher </strong>digs into <a href="https://gutenbergtimes.com/how-wordpress-decides-a-theme-is-a-block-theme/"><strong>how WordPress decides a theme is a “block theme”</strong></a> — and the answer might surprise you. It all comes down to one file: <code>templates/index.html</code> exists, or it doesn’t. Neither theme.json nor patterns flip the switch, which is why Astra, Kadence, and Blocksy all still test classic. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In episode 477 of the WP Builds podcast, <strong>Nathan Wrigley</strong> talks with <strong>Olly Campion </strong>and <strong>Tommy Rocket</strong>t about <a href="https://wpbuilds.com/2026/07/23/477-classic-themes-to-block-editor-lessons-from-a-wordpress-plugin-business/"><strong>lessons from their WordPress plugin business</strong></a> and their block-based plugin Slidey Panel, which slides customizable side panels into any site. You’ll hear how years of client work revealed a gap in both classic themes and the block editor, the philosophy behind their “page as panel” approach, and their candid take on AI, market share shifts, and the future of bespoke agency work.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="what-s-new-with-playground">What’s new with Playground</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Playground team wants your <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/playground/2026/07/17/help-us-test-the-new-wordpress-playground-ui/">help testing the new WordPress Playground UI</a> before it officially launches. <strong>Fellyph Cintra </strong>shares four testing modules you can pick from: creating and managing Playgrounds, the Blueprint experience, developer tools like Files and Logs, and import/export workflows. Five minutes on desktop or mobile is enough, and the post walks you through each step. Feedback on text clarity, mechanics, and design goes into the GitHub issue <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-playground/issues/4092">#4092.</a></p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide" />
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Elliott Richmond</strong> shares how he <a href="https://elliottrichmond.co.uk/using-wordpress-playground-and-blueprints-to-train-clients-on-block-themes/"><strong>uses WordPress Playground and Blueprints to train clients on block themes</strong></a>, inspired by WordCamp Europe. For a client migrating from a classic theme, he trimmed a gigabyte-plus database to a 50MB export, then built a Blueprint that loads their actual theme, plugin, and content into a disposable in-browser site. You send one link, the client can safely break things, and a refresh resets everything — no hosting or credentials needed.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="wordpress-and-ai">WordPress and AI </h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the Kinsta blog, <strong>Carlo Daniele</strong> takes <a href="https://kinsta.com/blog/wordpress-ai/"><strong>a deep dive into the WordPress AI integration architecture</strong></a> that arrived with WordPress 7.0. You’ll learn how the three layers — Connectors, AI Client, and Providers — replace bundled SDKs and provider-specific code with the unified <code>wp_ai_client_prompt()</code> function. Daniele then walks you through building a real plugin, available on GitHub, that transcribes an audio note and converts it into structured Gutenberg blocks via two AI passes.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide" />
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">An interesting take: On the MemberPress blog, SEO veteran <strong>Curt Noble</strong> argues that <strong><a href="https://memberpress.com/blog/wordpress-lost-market-share-got-stronger-heres-why/">WordPress lost market share and got stronger</a>.</strong> Drawing on twenty years in SEO, including his own private blog network (PBN) days, Noble contends the dip mostly reflects Google demolishing the spam economy that ran on WordPress. Meanwhile, search interest hit a five-year high, WordPress dominates the top 10,000 sites, and the vibe-coding security hangover is sending founders back to proven platforms. Noble’s bigger point: with the AI Client, Abilities API, and MCP Adapter, WordPress became the platform AI agents can natively and safely operate.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Jeff Paul</strong> announced <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/ai/2026/07/21/whats-new-in-ai-1-2-0/"><strong>what’s new in AI 1.2.0</strong></a>, the latest release of the canonical AI plugin. You’ll find a new Suggest Reply experiment that drafts contextual comment responses for moderators to review, bulk Content Summary generation for existing content libraries, and two read-only Abilities: <code>core/read-content</code> and <code>core/read-users</code>. The settings screen got simpler, too, with advanced controls now tucked behind an opt-in Developer Tools option. Content Translations and C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) tracking are on the 1.3.0 roadmap.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For technical details on the more than <strong>71 issues</strong> addressed since Beta 1, see the following links:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&changetime=07%2F15%2F2026..07%2F22%2F2026&milestone=7.1&group=component&col=id&col=milestone&col=owner&col=type&col=priority&order=id">Closed 7.1 WordPress Core Trac tickets</a> since July 15, 2026</li>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Note: <strong>Beta 2 was released on July 17, 2026</strong>, as part of the <a href="https://wordpress.org/news/2026/07/wordpress-7-0-2-release/">WordPress 7.0.2 release</a> and includes important security fixes.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Beta 3 introduces two improvements to styling.</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Applying local style changes globally is no longer an all-or-nothing action. The <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/79839" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Apply globally</a> option in the block inspector now opens a quick review step, allowing you to choose which modified styles to apply globally while keeping the rest as local overrides.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Other notable fixes include improvements to media uploads: long animated GIF uploads no longer hang, images rotated using EXIF metadata are processed correctly, and uploading a single HEIC image in Safari no longer creates two entries.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The editor also includes additional fixes for Notes, responsive styling, and custom CSS. For developers, WordPress Coding Standards has been updated to version 3.4.0.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/2026/05/22/extending-unicode-support-in-email-addresses-usernames-and-slugs/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Unicode email address support</a> will <strong>not be included</strong> in WordPress 7.1. The work will continue in a community plugin, allowing broader testing of compatibility, security, and data-handling considerations.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:00:19] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Welcome to the Jukebox Podcast from WP Tavern. My name is Nathan Wrigley.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jukebox is a podcast which is dedicated to all things WordPress. The people, the events, the plugins, the blocks, the themes, and in this case, why accessibility in WordPress themes is easier than you think.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’d like to subscribe to the podcast, you can do that by searching for WP Tavern in your podcast player of choice, or by going to wptavern.com/feed/podcast, and you can copy that URL into most podcast players.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you have a topic that you’d like us to feature on the podcast, I’m keen to hear from you and hopefully get you, or your idea, featured on the show. Head to wptavern.com/contact/jukebox and use the form there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So �1�[�s*yǖ� � [��Z
� ?� �on the podcast today we have Jessica Lyschik. Jessica is a longtime member of the WordPress community who’s been working in the ecosystem since 2015. She’s spent years learning and advocating for web accessibility, both as a developer and as an active community participant, joining agencies, working on theme reviews, and helping improve standards.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many theme creators assume that making themes accessible is an intimidating task, but Jessica’s here to show you that achieving an accessibility ready WordPress theme is more straightforward than you might imagine.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Her WordCamp Europe 2026 presentation, accessibility in themes, easier than you think, aimed to demystify the requirements for accessible themes. Explaining what the WordPress guidelines mean in practise, where the low hanging fruit is, and how both block and classic themes can reach accessibility ready status with manageable efforts.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We talk about the personal and moral journey that brings developers to accessibility. The technical hurdles and documentation challenges, and the ways in which things like AI agents are putting accessibility in the spotlight for everyone.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jessica talks about practical steps that quickly improve accessibility, like using correct HTML tags, adding alternative text to images, and configuring skip to content links, and shares why building accessibility in from the start saves time and effort down the road.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We also explore the differences, and possible advantages, of block themes when it comes to accessibility, and why theme guidelines work the way they do, and the importance of interdisciplinary awareness across SEO, design, and content teams.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jessica mentions helpful resources, influential leaders in accessibility, and the ongoing need for documentation improvements to help everyone level up.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by accessibility requirements, or wonder why they matter, and how you can build better WordPress sites that work for everyone, this episode is for you.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re interested in finding out more, you can find all of the links in the show notes by heading to wptavern.com/podcast, where you’ll find all the other episodes as well.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so without further delay, I bring you Jessica Lyschik.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I am joined on the podcast by Jessica Lyschik. Hello, Jessica.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:39] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> Hi Nathan.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:41] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Nice to have you with us. This is my second interview at WordCamp Europe 2026. We’re in a beautiful, big media room. I’ve got to say, this is one of the nicest spaces I’ve ever had for these kind of interviews, so that’s really nice.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jessica has already done, I want to say presentation but maybe it was a workshop. I’m not sure.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:57] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> No, it was a regular talk actually, yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:59] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Okay. And how did it go?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:04:00] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> It went super well, except for my slides went missing in between. That wasn’t so great. But the audience was very respectful of that, and I made a bit fun of it, so they laughed for a second and I tried, the media guys tried to fix that. We got it fixed in the end. I would’ve winged it anyway because I, like I knew what was coming up. But it’s always good to have your slides. It’s like seeing them, because for me it’s also visual reminder. It’s like, I need to see what I’m talking about, so I’m not losing track of it. But yeah, this was just a little technical hiccup. But overall I got very great feedback so far on my talk, and I’m very glad.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There were also quite a lot of people. I did not expect this many. And that makes me just super happy that people are actually interested in this topic, although it is sort of scary for some of them if they even like try to touch this topic. We can probably get into the details later. Yeah, just overall like, what does it do? Why do I need that? These unanswered questions that they have that they were like, ah, no, I’m not really interested into that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:05:01] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Oh, that’s nice a big reception.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:05:03] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> Yeah. And that’s just great to see because I think just as we all grow older, and I even noticed that, and I’ve said that in my talk, like I kind of get to appreciate when a website is accessible. I mean I’m still have a long time to go, hopefully in my life, but I start to appreciate the small things that make just browsing websites easier, to be honest.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:05:23] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So I guess we should introduce the subject and then give you a chance to introduce yourself because it feels like in this context, the subject at hand, it’s important to know that you know what you are doing. It’s not, well, I suppose it’s a general skill in that it should be something most people know an awful lot about. But I fear that that’s not the case.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So the presentation that you’ve just given was called accessibility in themes, easier than you think. That’s nicely phrased. Let’s get them through the door.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then the blurb that went with that, I’ll just read that into the record then everybody knows what we’re talking about. So it says, many theme developers assume accessibility ready requirements are hard to meet, but that’s rarely true. This session shares practical insights for real theme reviews, and shows how both block and classic themes can reach accessibility ready status with manageable effort.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So that’s the context of what we’re going to talk about today. However, as I just alluded to, could you just tell us a bit about you, how long you’ve been using WordPress, and then I guess if you want to focus a bit on your accessibility credentials and what you’ve been doing in that space.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:06:23] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> Yeah, of course. So yeah, I’ve been using WordPress, I think I started around 2005 or 6 already. So like dipped my toes into it, played with it around, just got a feel for it. But actually professionally, I started out in 2015 in the WordPress ecosystem.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Before that, I already joined the community. So I was working at another place that did not use WordPress before. And then in 2015 I joined a WordPress agency. Today they’re called Syde, for anyone who’s wondering. And ever since I’ve been into WordPress that long.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And accessibility in that case I have, I think it was a gradual process more of. It was not just like, I’m now doing accessibility. That just didn’t happen. It was, I learned it over time. And when I started learning about how to create a website accessibility was absolutely not a thing. No one cared about it. And it just became more and more aware for people, for developers, especially in the past couple years. I think we still have some way to go but like, as I said earlier, there were so many people interested in my talk. So I think we’re now at a pace where things get really interesting for many more people.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And yeah, I learned a lot along the way. Made a lot of mistakes along the way. But I’m glad I’m learning this. I’m still learning. So it’s always something that you continuously learn, because I think the hardest part to grasp for people is that, if you are abled, it’s like you can see, you can hear, you can navigate a device with your own hands, all stuff like that, you take it for granted.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And if you suddenly see or people tell you the perspective of like a blind person, a person who’s deaf, a person who may not be able to use a device like you do, maybe have a hand injury, or no hands anymore, that’s also happening. Then you start to wonder, okay, how do these people actually like use websites or use their phones or computers? And there are many different ways to do that. And I think if you have the chance to learn about this, it is absolutely eye-opening.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can also then, there was a talk at WordCamp Leipzig this year, but also last year, I attended last year, by a blind person. And her brother was also blind. He was a developer. And they shared like how bad some websites are, and how they struggle to like get the information out of the website, and what crazy, crazy stuff people are doing to their websites that do not make it accessible for these people.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then you are sitting there and wondering, oh my God. And sometimes I have to say, I even did this in the past and I didn’t know, but I’m glad today that I learned about this and make a better web essentially. Yeah, that’s why I’m here sharing my knowledge.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:09:11] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> It kind of sounds for me, so when I talk about accessibility, there’s always two strands to it. There’s like this legal bit where the governments are increasingly talking about things that will happen to you as a company that builds websites if you don’t follow guidelines. So that’s one side.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But there’s also this moral side. There’s the side of, we ought to do this despite what the law says. You know, it’s just a necessary thing. And it feels to me as if your journey in this was a moral one.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:09:38] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> More of, yes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:09:39] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, there was a definite need here. You know, in the real world when you see somebody, let’s say somebody who’s sitting in a wheelchair and they’re trying to get into a post office and there’s a step that they can’t get over, there’s no bit of you which doesn’t see that as unjust. Every bit of you says that character can’t get over that step. That’s wrong.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And yet, the bit of the world which is becoming increasingly the way that we interact, you know, we book flights, we file our taxes, we do our banking, we, all of these things, they’re completely invisible.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Most of the time we’re doing the internet by ourselves. You know, we might be sitting on a train, but nevertheless it’s a solitary activity, or we’re in our own home or whatever. And these pitfalls, the equivalent of the step in front of the post office is totally invisible.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And it also seems that the voice of the people whose lives are made more difficult is just drowned out. Somehow that anger that they must feel never seems to rise to the top quite enough that we all take the necessary steps.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I don’t know if any of that landed, and there was definitely no question there, but I’ll hand it back to you if any of that resonates.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:10:49] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> No, I think you, you’ve put it absolutely right. And the invisibility is the thing, because a step for us is visually, like we see it I mean. If you’re blind, you’re not seeing it. But let’s put it away for a second. But in the web, the invisibility is like the key thing. And I just talked to Anne-Mieke Bovelett about, who’s doing another accessibility talk this afternoon. She told me about like a company where they put effort into their website, making it more accessible. And their sales actually increased. So it can definitely help. This is just one example.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But there’s also a new player in the field that will probably even increase the interest in accessibility, and that is AI agents. Because AI agents, they do not see a website as we do visually. They rely on that the website is technically built correctly. Google actually just last month announced that they will focus on this. They will focus on the accessibility for the AI agent. I have put a link in my slides to that document. This is basically, I think something that will be easier to grasp for people for some weird reason. But it’s made more visible to them because if an AI agent cannot read your website, and I know we are probably still at the very beginning of this AI agent stuff, but I think this will increase over the next couple months or even years.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:12:14] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> That’s really interesting because when an individual, let’s go back 10 years, when an individual is creating a website, every single bit that you have to achieve is a minute of work or another minute or 20 minutes or an hour or what have you. And so there was this whole thing of just building the website, especially when page builders and things like that came along, just building the website to see what it looks like. And that whole accessibility layer just basically gets ignored.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, that’s what you’ve just said is curious because the AI agent building the website, to the AI agent, that’s kind of no extra work to get it right, if you know what I mean? If it’s configured to do all of the bits correctly, I’m using air quotes around the word correctly, then in theory it should be quite a good custodian of accessibility when it’s building things. I guess only time will tell whether that actually happens.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:13:08] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> Yeah, but it’s also for like, not the agents itself building, but also the agents visiting your website. Especially if you do like, I think shopping will be the one thing that if you say, hey, I don’t know what the best coffee or what, this is like a good topic. Yeah, okay, here are three options. And then, okay, buy me option one, a kilo of these beans or whatever. The AI agent, if the shop is accessible, the AI agent could do the shopping for you. This is where things are going and progressing towards, that you are not actively anymore the person who actually goes to the online shop, puts it in the cart, goes to the checkout and does all that stuff for you. But if the agent knows all that, it can do it for you.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:13:50] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Can I ask a question then? Because I may have, I think I’ve understood what you were just saying and curiously, I’ve never had that thought, the one that you’ve just expressed. I want to know if I’ve got it right. Are you saying that in a world in which we increasingly ask AI to achieve things on the web for us, if it’s built with accessibility in mind, it’s more likely to be able to achieve the result of, let’s say, buy me a kilo of coffee.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:14:14] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> Yep.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:14:15] yǖ�[��Z�} � [���
� ?� �<strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> That’s so interesting.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:14:16] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> Yeah because like, Anne-Mieke, whom I just talked about, shared a long document with me recently and I was just reading through it and was like, yeah, of course. Of course, if we technically do things right, we use the right elements, we do the right descriptions for everything that a computer, because AI agent is just a computer. Like assistive technology, like a screen reader who needs to read the right structure out of it and to fit the right content. But also is able to interact with stuff, like click on that button, put that in the cart, go to the checkout and so on. It’s basically the same. An AI agent is a screen reader.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:14:53] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, that’s really interesting. I’m thinking of a map where I’m trying to get to a destination, but the map has no directions. Imagine a scenario where we set off from one place and our destination is here. What you are saying is all the instructions in between to get from the start to the end can be read if the HTML and all of the bits and pieces wrapped up in that are correct. I had never had that thought before. That’s so interesting.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:15:17] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> Yeah, that’s very interesting. And I did not focus too much on this topic in my talk, but I wanted to put it in there at least in one slide to give like the food for thought that people can actually think about it because this is like what’s hyped right now. I have not tried out this whole agent thing yet, but like from a developer perspective, I can totally see that this is something that will increasingly help AI agents to achieve stuff.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:15:41] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah. And presumably make it so that a whole tranche of people who struggle with the web as it is currently might be able to interact with their voice or whatever other technique they use. We’ve completely gone off the rails, but that was such an interesting aside, thank you.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:15:58] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> Yeah, I think this is something interesting to share. And as I said, I wanted to focus more on the technical details in my talk, so I left it kind of out. But I think it’s a great opportunity to share it here with you.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:16:08] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah. That was lovely. Thank you.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So let’s go back to the WordPress bits and pieces then, and I’ll just do the title again because hopefully that’ll refresh it in listeners’ minds. Accessibility in themes, easier than you think. Dear listener, if you’ve been using WordPress for any length of time, you’ll know that the themes still plays a giant part in the structure of your website and the way that people experience it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So where are we at then in the year 2026? Does the theme still represent a huge part of accessibility? In your experience, is it easier than most people think to get an accessible website in the year 2026? We’ll get into block based themes and classic themes and all that in a minute. But essentially what I’m asking is, is it an easier thing to get right than most people imagine?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:16:51] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> Yes, because I think what scares people off from my own experience, there are requirements to get the accessibility ready tag in the wordpress.org theme repository. And these requirements, if you first read them, they’ll sound a bit cryptic and you do not really understand what they actually mean.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In my talk, I was trying to combine this, what the requirement says with what is actually meant by that. Because right now, and this is something I would like to improve for the future, I’ve already talked to people about this, and I will have another chat with Rian Rietveld about it later, or tomorrow. Let’s see when we can make that happen.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because right now the requirements read like, okay, this must be achieved. This is what the website should do. Then there are some testing instructions, but you’re not told how to achieve it. What do you technically need to do in order to do that?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I noticed this while I was reworking. I found out about the requirements also just a month ago because the requirements got updated. I have a theme in the wordpress.org repository and I tried to apply these new rules and have another fresh look at it. I got the accessibility ready tag for this already when I first got the theme into the repository. But like it was a good refresher to like go over all the requirements because they have slightly changed a bit, they added new ones.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When I was there, I was like, okay, like I understand this now because I have learned about accessibility over the past couple years. For someone who is fresh to this topic and doesn’t know too much about it, it’s hard to understand. Because there are some descriptions of things like, basically what it means is that you need to use, for example, the right HTML tags, header, footer, the main tag. We have section and aside, which are available in HTML 5. But the requirements does not say this explicitly.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And I think this is where probably most people have gotten stuck in the past, because they did not understand like, what is actually required from me technically? Because the texts are not so much focused on that. And this is something I would like to contribute as well, to give back and to enhance. So it’s not there yet, but hopefully sooner than later we can add all this information so it gets even easier for people.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because if you’ve done a website and you know about the HTML, you know about maybe a little bit of CSS, you know how to achieve this. You just need to connect the dots to what is relevant for accessibility and how do you do this in your HTML essentially.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:19:20] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, I guess that’s a bit of a shame really, isn’t it? Is that the documentation is difficult to follow because I feel that accessibility is one of those things where if something is difficult it can get dropped basically.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:19:33] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> Yeah, people won’t do it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:19:34] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, because the majority of people browsing the internet can browse the internet despite your accessibility efforts, that will be the standard that they’re aiming for in most cases. So if it’s difficult to achieve these things and the documentation’s not really straightforward, every time somebody comes across a question and thinks, I don’t really know the answer to that, probably the quickest thing to do is just to, ah, push it to one side and not press through. But you obviously have and made it a bit of a goal.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So is there a particular accessibility requirement that developers in your estimation kind of overestimate the difficulty of? What I’m asking here really is about some low hanging fruit that you know about. In the scenario that we’ve just described where it’s easy to get put off and to sort of say to yourself, okay, I can’t do this. I’m wondering there are some sort of quick wins that you could describe that people could maybe achieve within the next half an hour, once they sat down at their machines?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:20:27] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> Yeah, I think there are definitely some. There is like underlining text in your main content, just underline the text. It’s one line of CSS, text declaration underline. For links, obviously, not for the entire text.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And there is like, as I said, the HTML tags. With block themes, it’s super easy. For example, you just need to configure that correctly in the editor, or use the correct template part and it’s basically done for you. Core does that. This is one advantage of block themes, but we can dive into this deeper later. Or the skip to content links also in block themes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As an example, in block themes it is just like putting the content block in a group and assigning the main HTML tag to that group. And WordPress does the rest for you. It’s just like assigning this one little setting correctly and then you get automatically a skip a content link for block themes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:21:18] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, but curiously, if you didn’t know that small fact, that WordPress would handle that for you, if you don’t know, you don’t know. And you’d presumably go around the houses trying to figure that out for yourself and implement some custom version of that thing. Whereas in fact, what, three clicks, four seconds and you’re done.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:21:33] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> It’s super easy, yep.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:21:33] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah. Any more before we move on?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:21:35] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> I think these are like the most, absolutely the low hanging fruit is also if you use any images to add an alternative text. I think this is probably the most common one people already know. It is so easy. And even WordPress, even if you use classic themes, it’s already in the media library, the alternative text field. For block themes you have it directly at the image so it’s already in front of you. You just need to use it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:21:57] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, you just not ignore it basically. Yeah, that’s true.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So has this become kind of a habit for you then, over the last period of time since you’ve taken more and more interest in this? Have you got to the point now where this is just how it works? You know, in the same way that I drive a car and I use the gears and that’s all just second nature. Is it like that for you when you are building your themes? Because it’s now locked away in your head. Every time you do a thing that previously you would’ve omitted. You are now just in the habit. Has that been a difficult journey or fairly straightforward?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:22:28] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> I think it’s, like starting out with this, it would feel like a bumpy road. But for me it was, it’s a gradual process. But right now it’s really like, yeah, I just know that when I use a button in a context that is not like sending off a form to add an aria label to it, it’s like, it is baked into my brain essentially already because I know.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And I just had a very interesting example this week at work where there was a client reaching out saying, hey, we did an accessibility test on our website and it marked like two buttons that did not say what they’re doing. These were essentially missing the aria label because they had only icons on the buttons, not real text.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So if there’s just an icon, the screen reader cannot read, what is this button for, essentially, with just an icon? The win here was just to add the aria labels, because the fields were already there. This was also part of the Greyd.Suite, so from our product so I knew how to put it in there. And then it was like, oh no, like I have to do this 12 times, my colleague said. And I was like, yeah, okay, then you have to do it twice, 12 times. So 24 times. But be happy it’s not 200 times you have to do it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, and I said, do not take this personally. This is a great example of why putting accessibility at the very beginning of when you’re creating this makes life so much easier than rather when you just build a website and then you figure out you have to change 300 buttons. This is probably a crazy number, but just to give you an example, to change all the buttons manually again, going through every single page or whatever you have when you just could have taken the extra step, added the aria label, and then just be done with it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:24:09] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Right. That’s an interesting thought. And also the exasperation of your colleague there kind of perfectly sums up the problem. In that you see it as a problem. Does that mean I’ve got to do something 24 times? And there’s this sense of, ugh, I’ve got to do this work. And it feels like a chore. But then I suppose if you step back and look at what you’ll actually enable by doing those 24 things.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And I know that in the workday that’s hard to do. It’s hard to sort of step back and say, okay, if I do this thing 24 times, this will be the result, and lots more people will be able to, in this case, view the image.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:24:42] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> I mean this was like they started already working on. If you fix it now, you do not have to do it for the coming pages. So if you multiply that with how many pages more you need to do, once you get this one fixed, and ideally you need to change the aria label of the text changes obviously, but this was, I think for a header, in a header, where there was like, I think one sort of popover or popup. Fully accessible by the way, so don’t worry about that. And also a button to, I think for the phone numbers, like just a phone icon. And they could click on it and it would be something like that, along the lines. I don’t exactly remember what it was. But it was just like two icons in the header. And if you take that header, use it on, I don’t know, another 250 sites, you don’t need to do the work anymore.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:25:29] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Okay. So you are painting a picture in which, get it right at the beginning, follow the guidelines, do the hard work once, then almost the career from then, from this moment forward, your life will be immeasurably easier if you build it into the theme or.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:25:45] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> And accessibility will not be taken as, ugh, and I now have to do this all. Because when you do it from the start, you have to make sure at the end of course that it still works. You may have to run into issues and redo stuff. That can happen. But I think you just have saved yourself so much work in the end if that requirement for some reason pops up later or so.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:26:10] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I’m wondering, depending on the kind of nature of where you work, and how you do this. You know, if you’re a freelance, then this is on you. If you’re in an agency, then it may be that there’s somebody, you know, maybe there’s an SEO person, there’s a design person, maybe there’s an accessibility person. But it does feel like the moral argument states everybody should have some insight. Maybe you’re not right in the weeds of it, but you should have some knowledge of what the low hanging fruit is, at least.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:26:38] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> Yeah it’s, what’s the right word for it? Interdisciplinary. It �}[���=�( � [�9�
� ?� �is like not just the developer who needs to think of accessibility. It’s like, okay, we need to because like we provide a technical structure for it. But it also needs to be for the content people who write the blog posts, the pages, whatever, for SEO people to understand that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And I think accessibility, if you want the entire website to be accessibility, everyone who works on a website needs to know about it. That an SEO person needs to know how to create a skip link, probably not. Or how to use, maybe to use the right text. But for them, the text would be just the, using the right heading structure, for example. This is also a requirement, that you do not use an H3 and then an H6 heading in your content, but you structure it correctly that you have the H1 on the top, and then every next level is H H2, and then every level under that is H3. So this way. They should know about this. But they do not need to know too much about the technical side. Because in the end, it all comes together and creates an accessible website.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:27:42] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> In your commentary a few minutes ago, you mentioned that there were some guidelines in order to put a theme on wordpress.org. Is that the nature of it? Is it a guideline, or are there some hard and fast rules, which will prevent a theme getting into the repo based upon a lack of accessibility? What I’m asking is, are there some things that you must do as of now, or is it very much, okay, if you do this, great, but if you don’t, we’ll let your theme pass anyway?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:28:09] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> Yeah. Let me explain this. So there’s this accessibility ready tag. So you have different tags for the themes in the repository. And in order to get the accessibility ready tag, you need to follow the requirements, the accessibility ready requirements, I think it’s completely called.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And these are as of now 18 requirements. I went through them all in my talk. We’ve already touched on some of these. Some are really low hanging fruit, some are, one of the newer ones are, a theme should not recommend or require a plugin that is not accessible. This is something else that the team came up with, which is an interesting one. There’s, I guess a lot of room for discussion.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But also another one is to have an accessibility.txt file in your theme. Which basically, it’s not a standard yet, but like close to a standard sort of, has information about what has been done in terms of accessibility. Are there any classes that you can, CSS classes that you can use to make use of texts for screen readers? So basically hide them visually, or hide these texts or items visually, but still have them read out by screen readers. So they’re not like discipline none where you just remove that basically from the accessibility tree, but make it still readable for screen readers. And just some more information about that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yeah, you need to meet all these requirements with your theme if you want this tag. But you can still like do not care about accessibility and still get your theme in the repo if you want.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:29:40] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Would you like that to be flipped? Would you like that to be, because I mean we’re a very open ecosystem, aren’t we? And would you like to see though a day where you don’t meet these 18 guidelines, you don’t get the tag, you don’t get to play, you’re not allowed in the repo? Or is that a touch too far?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:29:56] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> Let me share some numbers, I think. So there are like 14,700 plus themes in the repository right now. All themes. At least that’s the number I can access. I don’t know if there’s maybe a bit more, I don’t know. But this is the public number you can access. And out of these themes, I think if I saw the correct number, it’s like just 270 have the accessibility ready tag. So then that is like 1.5% of all themes who have that tag.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So I think it will be extremely hard to force sort of, if you want to flip that, force that onto people. And I think we need to do a more gradual way. And that’s what I’m sharing my knowledge because I think it is not that hard. If you can improve the documentation for it, it will be even easier for people. And I think this is the way to go instead of forcing like, because we do not like to be forced to things we do not understand.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:30:50] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> That’s right. Yeah, that’s interesting. I wonder if there’s a future in which that slowly gets ramped up.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:30:56] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> I think with the AI agents, we will have an acceleration on this, I guess. So maybe not in WordPress themes, in the repository directly, but I think the attention will be put there and then like, oh, maybe we should make it more accessible. Let’s read into this. And I think these guidelines are also very interesting, maybe not just for WordPress themes. I mean, of course they’re for the repository, but you of course can apply them to your own custom theme, definitely. You do not have an absolute check like the team will do for you. But nothing stops you from using them even on a non WordPress site.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:31:30] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Do the guidelines, do they feel like they’re kind of firmly fixed or is it always a movable feast?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:31:35] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> They’re relatively fixed.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:31:37] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Okay, so if you were to swat up, for want of a better word, on what there is right now, there’s a good chance that the rug will not be pulled out from under you in six months, a year, two years time.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:31:46] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> No, I think the last time the requirements got updated was in 2012, 14. I would need to ask, Joe Dolson did the initial, or was working on the initial thing. And so it has been a while since this got updated and they just got updated last month. So I don’t think that they will be changing anything.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The one I talked about, not requiring or recommending plugins is the one, this is something, it kind of creates a grey area sort of. And I think this will be put to discussion. It’s like, I don’t mind, but I can see many people like really, not raging against it, but like raising questions about it. If this is something that should be a requirement.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I think for like the actual technical stuff, I don’t think that there’s much that should change, because like they’re based on the WCAG requirements. These are like the standard requirements that also have, I’m not sure if they’re used on governmental things, like on the European Accessibility Act, but I think they’re a sort of base for that. And it’s not like completely this. So the theme requirements are not like the WCAG requirements 100%, but like a subset of it, sort of.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:32:57] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, it’s a fairly slow moving ship in other words. If you acquire the knowledge today, you’ve got a good chance that in a year, two years, maybe even five years, the knowledge that you’ve got will need amending. But most of it will broadly work several years from now.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:33:11] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> It’s with like development in general. So like you always need to be constantly learning. And I think if you learn about accessibility today, I think you’re in a very good spot. Because like of course we have European Accessibility Act and governmental requirements, at least in Europe we do have them. But I think there’s already so much information out there, that it should be relatively easy to onboard you. And I think this is just beneficial if you learn, it’s basically about learning about how to use things correctly. And if you’ve got that, then you’re absolutely good to go.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:33:45] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So not that long ago I suppose, we had block themes coming around, which is an entirely different way of creating themes in WordPress. So you’ve got classic themes, which is the way it always used to be. And now we’ve got block themes. Is there a striking fundamental difference in the way that you might approach accessibility if you were used to doing block themes? Is there a whole lot more to learn? Maybe it’s more straightforward if you’re using block themes. Just tell us about how those two things differ.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:34:08] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> Yeah. It is more straightforward actually. Core is handling stuff for you. So accessibility just got a tad bit easier if you use block themes actually. In classic themes, you have to do a lot of things manually. You have to make sure that the elements are right, that the skip link is there, for example, things that we touched on already. And in block themes, if you use the correct blocks on the correct structure, Core handles stuff for you.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For example, there’s a requirement labelled form fields. So when you use a form or the form fields should have a label to it. In themes you don’t really have that because usually you should not put like, something like a form in there. There are two forms that by default come with a theme that are the comments form, but that’s completely handled by Core. And there’s the search form on the search results page.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But in block themes, both of them are handled by Core. Both of them are accessible because Core handles it all for you. You just need to place them and actually not do anything to them. It is that straightforward.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And same for like template parts. If you want to use header and footer, just use the template parts and use them. You can assign them a header template part as header of course, and one as footer. And then the HTML text will be automatically added correctly for you. So there’s not too much that you need to do manually anymore, just get that right.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And as I say, I really love block themes for the much easier accessibility, or the way you can make a block theme accessible. This is so much easier than with a classic theme.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:35:38] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So presumably though, it sounds like there’s meta knowledge, if you know what I mean. You’ve got to know which block to put in which spot, and which block wraps this other block, and the parents and the children. But if you learn that, and if you make that, we were talking about habits earlier, if you make that your habit, and then save that habit and save the theme and what have you, you are painting a picture where it’s significantly more straightforward because you don’t have to think about it in many cases. Well, that’s the wrong way of phrasing it. You don’t have to do that hard work.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:36:07] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> Exactly. If you have like a, sorry to interrupt you here, but if you have a theme that already gives you the correct examples, you can build off from that theme. For example, if you’re creating a new template, you can use an existing template and then just adjust it to what you need. If you need to change like colours or something but you have the structure already correct. You do not need to think about doing the structure again and maybe just have a check that it’s actually the right one. But if you just copy what’s already there, that is part of the theme, that’s actually super easy.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:36:38] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I’m going to link to your presentation, which I know by the time that this goes out will be probably on wordpress.tv, I would’ve thought by that point. But I’ll link to your presentation and all of the different bits and pieces.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I’m curious, who in the WordPress space, and maybe not the WordPress space, maybe outside of that, who do you follow or try to get guidance from? Maybe that’s a YouTube channel or a blog, or a, I don’t know, government based website. Maybe it’s just wordpress.org, I don’t know. Where do you go to swat up on all of this?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:37:06] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> Ooh, there are some very good resources out there. So I do follow like people within the WordPress community. I mentioned a few names already, like Joe Dolson, Rian Rietveld, Amber Hinds from Equalize Digital. They do a lot of stuff in that area. And then I also follow Sara Soueidan, she’s a developer from, I think Lebanon, if I remember correctly. She does great stuff on accessibility. There is a few more names. There are some good resources out there. I can probably research that for you because I cannot remember the names right now.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:37:39] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I’m putting you on the spot. I’m sorry.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:37:40] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> Put me on the spot. That’s okay. I’ll share some links with you that you can then put in with the podcast information. There are some great resources both within the WordPress community but also outside of it that can give you a very good overview. And I think it’s just interesting to follow people who like can build the bridge between, okay, this is a requirement, this is how you technically do it, and this is why you do it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:38:05] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I have a friend who’s recently been on the journey of trying to go from zero to really quite proficient in this space. He’s found a bunch of YouTube channels and several of the names that you mentioned there, particularly the Lebanese lady that you mentioned.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And I think followed a course that they put together and found that structure profoundly helpful. The dry documentation, I think was the way it was described on the WCAG website can sometimes I think be a, you know, it’s hard to get into that in some way.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You know, if this all sounds like a lot of work, there’s definitely resources out there, which, fun is perhaps the wrong word, but make it more engaging. There’s videos to watch, and channels to follow and blogs to read and all of this. And so it turns this, I’m doing air quotes, dry subject into something a little bit more manageable and easy to take in.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:38:52] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> Yes. Yes, because like the WCAG requirements, like they’re hard to read. It’s like reading, the HTML 5 spec. This is also super hard to read.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:39:01] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, it’s the cure for insomnia.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:39:03] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> Yeah, sort of. And it’s, yeah, I think if we have, not more content, but the right content available to people in the right spot, I think this will be beneficial for every=�([�9�s�[ � [�{�
� ?� �one.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:39:14] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah. I think unless there’s something else you want to cover off, I think, Jessica, I’ve asked everything I wish to. Is there anything you think we’ve omitted or are you happy to call it a day there?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:39:24] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> I think we’re, I mean we could go on probably for days. But I think for now it’s, we’ve covered every topic.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:39:32] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Well in which case, what I’ll do, dear listener, if you go to the WP Tavern website and search for Jessica’s post, I’m not sure what number it will be as we’re recording it, go there and anything that we discussed, and any names that we discussed and those kind of things, I’ll put a link and obviously if Jessica supplies any other things she mentioned, we’ll add those in as well.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So Jessica, thank you so much for chatting to me today. And now that your presentation is done, you can relax and enjoy the rest of the spectacle.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:39:55] <strong>Jessica Lyschik:</strong> Yes. Thank you so much, and thanks for having me.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the podcast today we have <a href="https://jessicalyschik.de">Jessica Lyschik</a>.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jessica is a longtime member of the WordPress community who has been working in the ecosystem since 2015. She has spent years learning and advocating for web accessibility, both as a developer and as an active community participant, joining agencies, working on theme reviews, and helping to improve standards.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many theme creators assume that making themes accessible is an intimidating task, but Jessica’s here to show you that achieving an accessibility-ready WordPress theme is more straightforward than you might imagine. Her WordCamp Europe 2026 presentation, “Accessibility in themes: easier than you think,” aimed to demystify the requirements for accessible themes, explaining what the WordPress guidelines mean in practice, where the low-hanging fruit is, and how both block and classic themes can reach accessibility-ready status with manageable effort.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We talk about the personal and moral journey that brings developers to accessibility, the technical hurdles and documentation challenges, and the ways in which things like AI agents are putting accessibility in the spotlight for everyone. Jessica talks about practical steps that quickly improve accessibility, like using correct HTML tags, adding alternative text to images, and configuring skip-to-content links, and shares why building accessibility in from the start saves time and effort down the road.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We also explore the differences, and possible advantages, of block themes when it comes to accessibility, why theme guidelines work the way they do, and the importance of interdisciplinary awareness across SEO, design, and content teams. Jessica mentions helpful resources, influential leaders in accessibility, and the ongoing need for documentation improvements to help everyone level up.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by accessibility requirements, or wonder why they matter, and how you can build better WordPress sites that work for everyone, this episode is for you.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><code>theme.json</code> doesn’t make you a block theme.</strong> Neither do patterns, block template <em>parts</em>, or <code>add_theme_support( 'block-templates' )</code>. A theme can adopt every one of those “hybrid” features and still land on the classic side of this check, because the test only looks for a top-level <code>index.html</code> template.</p>
<p class�[[�{���H� � [��*
� ?� �s="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Child themes inherit the answer.</strong> <code>get_file_path()</code> looks in the child theme first and falls back to the parent, so a child theme of a block theme is a block theme even if the child ships no templates of its own.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>It’s a filesystem check, not a declaration.</strong> There’s no header in <code>style.css</code> that opts you in or out. Drop a <code>templates/index.html</code> into a theme and, as far as WordPress is concerned, it <em>is</em> a block theme.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The minimum files required for block and classic themes</h3>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Staying on the classic side of the check comes down to two conditions:</p>
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>No</strong> <strong><code>templates/index.html</code></strong> <strong>and no legacy</strong> <strong><code>block-templates/index.html</code>.</strong> Other block templates don’t matter: a theme with `templates/single.html` but no `templates/index.html` still tests as classic. (In practice, though, if you’re shipping block templates, ship the index and be a block theme on purpose.)</li>
<li><strong>No block-theme parent.</strong> The check falls back to the parent theme, so a child of Twenty Twenty-Five is a block theme no matter what the child contains. To be classic, the whole chain has to be.</li>
</ol>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Everything else is fair game. <code>theme.json</code>, patterns, <code>add_theme_support( 'block-template-parts' )</code>` custom templates registered from plugins — none of them flip the switch., patterns, <code>add_theme_support( 'block-template-parts' )</code>, custom templates registered from plugins: none of them flip the switch.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Where real themes land</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Running that check against some current releases from the theme directory</p>
<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><thead><tr><th>Tests <strong>classic</strong></th><th>Tests <strong>block</strong></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Twenty Twenty-One and every earlier default</td><td>Twenty Twenty-Two and every later default</td></tr><tr><td>Astra, Kadence, Blocksy, Botiga, Sydney, Hello Elementor — <em>all ship <code>theme.json</code></em></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>GeneratePress, Neve, OceanWP, Storefront</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table></figure>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Six of the themes in the first column ship <code>theme.json</code>, the marquee “block” feature, and still test classic, because the check never looks at <code>theme.json</code><br /><br />Twenty Twenty and OceanWP are another good gotcha: both ship a <code>templates/</code> directory and are still classic, because it’s full of PHP page templates (<code>template-cover.php</code>, <code>landing.php</code>). The check wants <code>templates/index.html</code> specifically, so “does it have a templates folder” is not the indicator you might assume.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The one-file switch</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><br />For all the weight the term carries, “block theme” boils down to a single file: <code>templates/index.html</code> exists, or it doesn’t. Not <code>theme.json</code>, not patterns, not any amount of hybrid adoption. Just one index template, checked up the parent chain.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That’s worth keeping in mind if 7.1 does end up drawing the iframe line at <code>wp_is_block_theme()</code>. A hybrid theme that has adopted everything <em>except</em> block templates would keep the classic editor behavior, while adding a single <code>templates/index.html</code> (even accidentally, even in a parent theme you don’t control) would flip a site to the forced iframe. If your theme or your users’ sites sit anywhere near that line, now is a good time to check which side of it you’re actually on: it’s one <code>is_file()</code> call away.</p>

As a non-profit, community-driven conference, the event demonstrated the strength of collaboration, knowledge sharing, and the spirit of open source.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">More than just a technology conference, WordCamp Rajshahi became a place where people connected, exchanged ideas, and inspired one another to contribute to the future of WordPress.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sharing Knowledge That Matters</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The conference featured a diverse lineup of local and international speakers who shared practical experiences, real-world case studies, and emerging trends shaping the web today.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Artificial intelligence was one of the most discussed topics throughout the event. Sessions explored how AI is transforming the way developers and businesses work—from integrating AI into WordPress without writing code to building customer support agents, using modern Large Language Models (LLMs) for development, debugging applications, and improving everyday workflows.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Performance, architecture, and security also received significant attention. Speakers demonstrated advanced WordPress optimization techniques, object caching strategies, no-code animations using GSAP, methods for identifying system vulnerabilities, and practical approaches to cleaning malware-infected WordPress websites with AI.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Beyond technical sessions, the conference emphasized personal and professional growth. Attendees learned about building successful careers, transitioning from startups to multinational companies, product marketing, the realities of remote work, and maintaining mental well-being while working in the technology industry.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Contributor Day: Giving Back to WordPress</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Contributor Day, held on July 2, served as one of the most meaningful parts of the event.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Participants worked alongside experienced WordPress contributors and Table Leads to improve the WordPress project itself. Whether they contributed to Core, Accessibility, Themes, Plugins, Polyglots (translations), Education, or Photos, attendees experienced firsthand how community collaboration built the global WordPress ecosystem.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For many first-time contributors, it was their first opportunity to make a direct contribution to one of the world’s largest open-source projects.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Campus Connect: Inspiring the Next Generation</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the highlights of WordCamp Rajshahi 2026 was the <strong>Campus Connect</strong> initiative.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To encourage student participation in open source, <strong>40 university students</strong> received <strong>complimentary tickets</strong> to attend the event. This initiative introduced young learners to the WordPress community, allowing them to interact with experienced professionals, attend technical sessions, and discover opportunities to contribute to open source.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By investing in students today, the community hopes to cultivate the next generation of developers, designers, and contributors who will help shape the future of WordPress.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sponsors Who Made It Possible</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordCamp events are made possible through the generous support of organizations that believe in strengthening the open-source ecosystem. Rather than simply sponsoring an event, these companies invest in community growth and knowledge sharing.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This year, the sponsorship tiers celebrated Rajshahi’s famous mango heritage.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>The first wave of WCUS 2026 speakers is live — and it reads like a who’s-who of WordPress in practice.</strong></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordCamp US just <a href="https://us.wordcamp.org/2026/speakers/">published its opening lineup</a> for August 16–19 in Phoenix: 34 confirmed speakers so far, including <strong>K Adam White, Brian Coords, Jamie Marsland, Kathy Zant, Miriam Schwab, and Robert Abela</strong>, all experienced developers, educators, security specialists, community builders.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The program runs four tracks. </p>
<ul class="wp-block-list has-small-font-size">
<li><strong>AI in Action</strong> leads with sessions on agentic workflows, AI search, and guardrails for AI-assisted development. </li>
<li><strong>Honing Your Skills</strong> covers the practical side: maintenance, privacy compliance, creator commerce, security. </li>
<li><strong>Technical WordPress</strong> digs into block migrations at scale, WP-CLI automation, and plugin pipelines. </li>
<li><strong>Beginning WP101</strong> is the on-ramp for newcomers — or for clients you’re bringing along.</li>
<li>Three <strong>hands-on workshop</strong>s round out the program, where you build something real in the room and leave with it.<br /></li>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://gutenbergtimes.com/roadmap-7-1-gutenberg-23-5-responsive-styling-migration-to-block-themes-weekend-edition-368/">Last week</a>, I shared three migration stories from page builders to the Core block editor and block themes. Here’s a fourth perspective: The team at WP Expert, an Ottawa agency founded by <strong>Frederic Sune</strong>, put together a comprehensive post on <a href="https://wpexpert.ca/migrate-agency-gutenberg-success/"><strong>migrating agency sites from page builders to Gutenberg</strong></a>, should you go on that journey, too. You’ll find the strategic arguments (better Core Web Vitals, smaller attack surface, less technical debt) alongside a practical playbook covering backups, staging, block theme selection, pattern development, and SEO safeguards. The post also explores what block-based architectures mean for an agency’s business model, from premium modernization packages to fewer layout-related support tickets. An FAQ rounds it out.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Brian Coords</strong> tackles a common WooCommerce pain point: <a href="https://www.briancoords.com/custom-product-templates-for-block-themes/"><strong>custom product templates for block themes</strong></a>. He combines two core WordPress features — the plugin template registration API from 6.7 and the venerable <code>single_template_hierarchy</code> filter — to serve custom templates for product collections, like all products in a category. His example plugin falls back to your Single Product template unless you override it. Clone the repo and give it a try; custom Product fields are next on his list.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the WordPress Developer Blog, <strong>Troy Chaplin </strong>shows you how to build <strong><a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/news/2026/07/on-brand-maintenance-mode-for-wordpress-block-themes/">an on-brand maintenance mode for block themes</a>.</strong> You add one small hook to your theme’s <code>functions.php</code> once, then design and manage the maintenance page entirely in the Site Editor with full access to your Global Styles. Renaming or deleting the template toggles maintenance mode on and off, no code needed. An SEO-friendly variant adds 503 headers so crawlers know the downtime is temporary.</p>

The Site Editor renders your blocks inside an iframe. The post editor — where most people actually spend their time — renders them directly in the admin page. That split ends with WordPress 7.1: <strong>the post editor canvas will always be an iframe, on every theme, no matter what <code>apiVersion</code> your blocks declare</strong>. The Gutenberg plugin has been enforcing exactly this for months. If you ship blocks, assume the iframe.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If your block never touches the global <code>document</code> or <code>window</code>, you can probably stop reading after you’ve changed <code>"apiVersion": 2</code> to <code>"apiVersion": 3</code> in <code>block.json</code>. For everyone else — and especially anyone shipping blocks that wrap third-party libraries — the iframe changes <em>where your code runs</em> versus <em>where your markup lives</em>. That gap is where things break.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Quick reference guide</strong>: <strong>Are your blocks ready?</strong></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="timeline">The timeline, in one table</h2>
<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><thead><tr><th>Release</th><th>What happens</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>June 21, 2021</strong></td><td>The iframed editor was <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/2021/06/29/blocks-in-an-iframed-template-editor/">announced on make.wordpress.org</a></td></tr><tr><td><strong>WordPress 6.9</strong> (Dec 2025)</td><td>Console warning (with <code>SCRIPT_DEBUG</code>) when a block registers with <code>apiVersion</code> 2 or lower. The <code>block.json</code> schema now only validates <code>apiVersion: 3</code>.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>WordPress 7.0</strong> (Apr 2026)</td><td>The iframe decision now looks at blocks <strong>actually inserted in the post</strong>, not every registered block. All inserted blocks on v3+ → canvas is iframed. Insert a single v1/v2 block → the iframe is removed on the fly. Nothing is enforced yet.<br /></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Gutenberg 22.6+</strong></td><td>The iframe is <strong>enforced regardless of theme</strong> — this is the feedback-gathering phase.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>WordPress 7.1</strong> (Aug 19, 2026)</td><td>The iframe is <strong>enforced on every theme</strong>, regardless of <code>apiVersion</code>. The conditions are gone, not tightened.</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The WordPress 7.0 change is subtle but important: before 7.0, one <code>apiVersion: 2</code> block <em>registered by any active plugin</em> — even one never used in the post — kept the entire editor out of the iframe for everyone. Now only inserted blocks count. Your v3 block gets the iframe until the user inserts a legacy one, at which point the editor quietly reloads the canvas without the iframe. The companion plugin ships a <code>legacy-api-v2</code> block so you can watch this happen — insert it into an otherwise-v3 post and the iframe disappears. In 7.1, that escape hatch closes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Worth knowing, as an aside: the “every theme” decision landed in <a href="https://wordpress.org/news/2026/07/wordpress-7-1-beta-1/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">WordPress 7.1 Beta 1</a>, and it’s deliberately being tested in public. Gutenberg merged <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/74042" rel="noopener" target="_blank">“Post editor: always iframe” (#74042)</a> on July 10, 2026, deleting the theme and <code>apiVersion</code> conditions outright. The 7.1 release lead signed off on that merge <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/74042#issuecomment-4878384706" rel="noopener" target="_blank">on the condition</a> that the team could “move to the softer approach” if Beta 1 feedback surfaced real problems — the softer approach being enforcement on block themes only, with everything else staying on the 7.0 rules. No specific mechanism is committed to; the plan is to respond to what the beta actually turns up.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Which is a reason to test harder, not to wait and see. If that rollback happens, the iframed and non-iframed editors both stay in the wild <em>longer</em> — and your block has to work in both regardless of which way it goes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s also worth noting that blocks that will break with the 7.1 changes are most likely <strong>already breaking in the Site Editor</strong>.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why the iframe is a good thing</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This isn’t change for change sake. Rendering the canvas in an iframe gives the editor a real document boundary:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Admin CSS stops leaking into your content.</strong> No more <code>#wpadminbar</code>-adjacent style resets,�+�[����B/� � [���
� ?� � no more admin styles subtly changing how blocks render in the editor versus the front end.</li>
<li><strong>Viewport units and media queries finally work.</strong> <code>vw</code>, <code>vh</code>, and <code>@media</code> rules resolve against the canvas, not the admin page — so tablet/mobile previews and zoomed-out views actually behave like the front end.</li>
<li><strong>What you see is much closer to what you get.</strong> The canvas document is built from your theme’s styles, not the admin’s.</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The issue this raises for block developers? Your editor JavaScript runs in the admin page, but your block’s DOM lives in a different document. Every assumption baked into <code>document.querySelector(...)</code> and <code>window.addEventListener(...)</code> just became wrong.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What actually breaks (and how to fix it)</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Everything below is demonstrable with the companion plugin — each pattern ships as a broken/fixed pair of blocks: <strong><a href="https://github.com/ryanwelcher/iframe-editor-examples" rel="noopener" target="_blank">iframe-editor-examples on GitHub</a></strong>.</p>

<li><code>element.ownerDocument</code> is whatever document the block is rendered into — the iframe’s document when iframed, the admin document when not. <code>ownerDocument.defaultView</code> is that document’s window.

<li><code>useRefEffect</code> (from <code>@wordpress/compose</code>) instead of <code>useRef</code> + <code>useEffect</code>: it re-runs the callback when the ref changes, so if the block ever moves between documents, your listeners re-attach to the right window.</li>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the iframed editor, clicks inside the canvas happen in the <strong>iframe’s</strong> document. They never bubble to the admin document, so the listener never fires.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Your block calls the library, the library queries the admin document, finds zero matches, and silently does nothing. No error, no warning — the block just stops being enhanced.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Your options, in order of preference:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Pass elements, not selectors.</strong> If the library accepts an element (<code>lib.init( element )</code>), hand it the block’s element from <code>useRefEffect</code> and you’re usually fine.</li>
<li><strong>Patch the library.</strong> For unmaintained dependencies, <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/patch-package" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><code>patch-package</code></a> is the pragmatic answer: edit the module in <code>node_modules</code> to resolve <code>document</code>/<code>window</code> from the element (<code>node.ownerDocument</code>), run <code>npx patch-package <pkg></code>, commit the patch, add a <code>postinstall</code> script. The <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/block-api/block-api-versions/block-migration-for-iframe-editor-compatibility/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">official migration guide</a> walks through a real patch for <code>@panzoom/panzoom</code>.</li>
<li><strong>Guard and bail.</strong> If the library is loaded inside the iframe (front-end scripts are), check for it on <code>defaultView</code> before using it: <code>if ( ! defaultView.jQuery ) return;</code></li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">So what does <code>apiVersion: 3</code> actually do?</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Less than you might think — and that’s the point. Declaring <code>"apiVersion": 3</code> in <code>block.json</code> doesn’t change how your block renders; it’s a <strong>signal that your block is iframe-ready</strong>. All core blocks have been on v3 since WordPress 6.3. For most blocks the migration is literally a one-line change… followed by the actual work: testing that nothing in your <code>edit</code> component (or the libraries it pulls in) touches the global <code>document</code>/<code>window</code>.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And to be clear about 7.1: the iframe will be enforced there <strong>regardless</strong> of <code>apiVersion</code>. Staying on v2 doesn’t opt you out anymore — it just means you get the console warning <em>and</em> the breakage.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to test today</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You don’t need to wait for 7.1. What you’re testing is that your block works in <strong>both states</strong> — iframed and not — because both will exist in the wild for a while yet.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Iframed:</strong> install the <strong>Gutenberg plugin 22.6+</strong>. It enforces the iframe regardless of theme, so this is the fastest way to live in the future. <a href="https://wordpress.org/news/2026/07/wordpress-7-1-beta-1/"><strong>7.1 Beta 1</strong> </a>does the same — I’ve confirmed it forces the iframe on a classic theme, which is the merged behavior shipping in August.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Not iframed:</strong> run <strong>WordPress 7.0 without the plugin</strong> and insert a v1/v2 block alongside yours — the canvas drops the iframe on the fly. <a href="https://github.com/ryanwelcher/iframe-editor-examples">The companion plugin’s <code>legacy-api-v2</code> block exists for exactly this.</a> Any theme will do: core 7.0 has no theme check in the iframe decision at all, so you don’t need to hunt down a classic theme to reproduce this.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Confirm which state you’re in:</strong> <code>element.ownerDocument !== document</code>, or look for <code>iframe[name="editor-canvas"]</code> in devtools.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>The Site Editor</strong> has been iframed for years — if your block already behaves there, you’re most of the way home.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>The companion plugin</strong> ships a <code>wp-env</code> setup, an example override file that adds Gutenberg for enforced mode (copy it to <code>.wp-env.override.json</code>), and <strong>two Playground blueprints</strong> — one per state, so you can flip between iframed and not in two tabs without installing anything.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The block author’s checklist</h2>
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Set <code>"apiVersion": 3</code> in every <code>block.json</code>.</li>
<li>Check your editor code for <code>window.</code> and <code>document.</code> — every hit is a suspect. Replace with <code>element.ownerDocument</code> / <code>.defaultView</code> via <code>useRefEffect</code>.</li>
<li>Check for <code>enqueue_block_editor_assets</code> — move canvas-affecting styles to <code>editorStyle</code> in <code>block.json</code>.</li>
<li>Check your editor CSS for <code>.wp-admin</code>, <code>#wpadminbar</code>, and <code>.block-editor-page</code> , admin chrome offsets and <code>!important</code></li>
<li>Audit third-party libraries: pass elements not selectors, patch what you must.</li>
<li>Test both <strong>states</strong>, not both themes: iframed (Gutenberg 22.6+ active) and not iframed (no plugin, v1/v2 block inserted). </li>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Note What’s <em>not</em> on that list:</strong> checking whether the active theme is a block theme. Core exposes that answer twice — as <code>__unstableIsBlockBasedTheme</code> in the editor settings and as <code>is_block_theme</code> on the REST themes endpoint — and there’s a shelved PR and a live debate behind it. Your block never needs to ask. <code>element.ownerDocument !== document</code> answers the only version of the question that affects you. If you’re curious what that theme check does under the hood, that’s its own story: <a href="https://gutenbergtimes.com/how-wordpress-decides-a-theme-is-a-block-theme/"><strong>How WordPress decides a Theme is a “Block theme”.</strong></a></p>

It integrates with Akismet to ensure that spammy or potentially fraudulent submissions get filtered out. Recently, some Give users saw an unusually high level of false positives on their donation forms: legitimate donation submissions that were being marked as spam.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We investigated and found that the donation forms were being sent to Akismet for checking after each step in the donation process: once after choosing an amount, again after the user entered their name, again after they entered an optional message, etc. To Akismet, this looks like sudden repeated submissions from the same user, all with similar content (better known as spam).</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Akismet supports rechecking content, but only if the integration includes <a href="https://akismet.com/developers/detailed-docs/comment-check/">the <code>recheck_reason</code> parameter</a>. If that parameter is present, Akismet knows not to classify the repeated duplicate (or nearly duplicate) checks as part of a spam attack; however, if <code>recheck_reason</code> is omitted, this kind of consecutive similar content looks very similar to spam, and Akismet blocks it.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What’s new in WordPress 7.1?</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress 7.1 delivers a more complete set of styling controls, a smoother media experience, and a more personalized admin experience. Notes have evolved to add inline notes with @mentions and rich text formatting that make asynchronous feedback feel more powerful. New styling features unlock long requested features to style how blocks look across screen sizes and to style interactive states, all without writing custom CSS. Various client side media improvements means better format support, improved performance, and more resilient uploads when adding media to your site. A new inline cropping tool brings a fresh and more robust experience to editing images. Finally, the admin experience becomes easier to navigate with an ever present admin bar in the editors, improvements to the command palette, and various quality of life improvements. Underneath it all, developers get an expanding set of APIs to build on, and site owners get better support for a truly global audience.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">New suite of Notes features</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Notes continue to grow into a fuller collaboration experience, making asynchronous feedback between teams faster and more expressive.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Text Formatting</strong>: Notes now support inline formatting like bold, italic, code, links and adding emoji; each with a respective keyboard shortcut, so feedback reads clearly without breaking your flow.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>@mentions</strong>: Type “@” in a Note to pull up a searchable list of collaborators and tag someone directly, so feedback points at the right person without leaving the sidebar.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Leave notes anywhere</strong>: Start more than one conversation on the same block instead of folding every comment into a single thread, making it easier to track distinct pieces of feedback.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Inline notes:</strong> Leave a note on a text selection instead of on an entire block.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Show more / show less</strong>: Long notes now collapse by default with a toggle to expand them, keeping the margin tidy while you write.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Style it your way, on any screen</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress 7.1 takes a major step toward built-in responsive design and interactive styling, letting you achieve looks that once required writing custom CSS.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Responsive styling</strong>: Define how a block looks at different screen sizes directly in the editor, for both Global Styles and individual blocks without the need of writing custom CSS.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Viewport breakpoint customization</strong>: Theme authors can now define their own responsive breakpoints in <code>theme.json</code>, giving more flexibility for how responsive controls behave on a given site.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Interactive state styling</strong>: Style how blocks respond to interaction, like a button changing color on hover or focus, using a standardized set of controls for both Globas�e([��z ��� � [�Ϫ
� ?� �l Styles and individual block instances.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A smoother media experience</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Uploading, editing, and browsing media keeps getting more capable and more reliable.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Client-side media processing</strong>: Image and media processing moves into the browser, now with broader format support that includes HEIC (the default format for iPhone photos), UltraHDR, AVIF and WebP support built in, plus GIF-to-video conversion for lighter, more efficient files. Uploads are also more resilient, with a progress indicator and automatic retries if your data connectivity drops off.</li>
<li><strong>New Media Editor Modal</strong>: A dedicated modal for editing images replaces the inline cropping tool, bringing cropping, rotation, and metadata editing together in one streamlined workflow.</li>
<li><strong>Smarter galleries</strong>: Gallery blocks can automatically pull in and sort media already attached to the current post, cutting down on manual set-up.</li>
<li><strong>View attached images:</strong> After you upload images to a post, the inserter will automatically surface them in a new Attached images section to make it easier to find relevant images.</li>
<li><strong>Infinite scrolling by default</strong>: The Media Library grid view now loads additional items automatically as you scroll, rather than requiring a click on “Load more” especially handy for sites that handle large media libraries. This can be disabled under your user profile.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A more personal, more navigable admin</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These meaningful upgrades make the WordPress admin easier to move around in and more consistent with how you like to work.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Persistent toolbar (Omnibar)</strong>: The admin toolbar now travels with you into the Site Editor and Block Editor, with a series of polish improvements throughout.</li>
<li><strong>Command palette improvements</strong>: Moving through the dashboard and editor with the command palette <code>(Ctrl/Cmd+K)</code> is more refined to make finding what you need even faster! Now results are grouped into <em>Recent, matching and Suggestions</em> sections instead of one flat list.</li>
<li><strong>Admin color scheme in the Site Editor</strong>: The Site Editor now reflects your chosen admin color scheme instead of always using a fixed background.</li>
<li><strong>DataViews and DataForms iterations</strong>: Continued refinement of the components behind managing lists of posts, pages, patterns, and templates, alongside the forms used to edit them.</li>
<li><strong>Excerpts in the Posts list</strong>: The Posts list view now shows a short excerpt for each entry, making it easier to identify the post you’re looking for without opening it.</li>
<li><strong>Visual revisions</strong>: This release adds a picker activity layout for browsing history in more detail, clearly labeled autosaves in the timeline, and an autosave notice that opens straight into the visual revisions view. Global Styles revisions get a small polish too, swapping the <em>active</em> style’s text label for a badge.</li>
<li><strong>A dedicated Identity section</strong>: Site identity settings like your title, tagline, and icon are now live in their own clearly labeled section of the Site Editor, making them easier to find and update.</li>
<li><strong>On This Day Widget</strong>: A new widget resurfaces what you published on this date in past years, right on your dashboard. A small nudge to look back on what you’ve written, and a reason to write something new today.</li>
<li><strong>Allow Changing Comment Parent:</strong> Fixing a misthreaded comment used to mean editing the database directly. WordPress 7.1 adds an editable “In reply to” control to the Edit Comment screen, letting you pick a new parent from a dropdown of the post’s other comments. It’s scoped to the same post, so this is about untangling threads, not moving comments across posts.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">New blocks and block-level enhancements</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress 7.1 release brings a handful of block refinements that give more control with fewer steps.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Playlist Block:</strong> A new block for adding a collection of audio files to a post or page, with an optional waveform visualization that shows the audio’s shape as it plays; a more visual way to present podcasts, music, or audio content without using any third-party plugins.</li>
<li><strong>Tabs Block:</strong> A new block for organizing content into clickable tabbed panels instead of showing everything at once. It’s a cleaner way to present related content without overwhelming the page.</li>
<li><strong>Background gradients</strong>: Background gradients and background images no longer conflict. The gradient used to get silently overridden by the image, but now they combine and display together. This fix extends beyond the Group block to Verse, Accordion, Pullquote, Post Content, and Quote block.</li>
<li><strong>HTML block editable content</strong>: The HTML block now supports editable nested blocks. This is great to use for AI-generated content, which often arrives as raw HTML.</li>
<li><strong>“Mark as decorative” for images</strong>: A new toggle on the Image block lets you hide purely decorative images from screen readers for a better accessibility experience.</li>
<li><strong>Smarter shortcode handling</strong>: Pasting or converting a shortcode into the Embed block now creates a proper Embed block instead of leaving raw shortcode text behind, and the Shortcode block gains block-specific transforms of its own.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Built for a global audience</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress 7.1 continues work to make Core reflect the full diversity of its worldwide community, with progress toward supporting Unicode email addresses so usernames, slugs, and email addresses can better represent users everywhere.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Built for developers</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress 7.1 continues to expand the foundation developers build on.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Abilities API expansion</strong>: Continued refinement of the Abilities API with improved querying, filtering, and input validation, giving developers and AI tooling a more reliable foundation to build on.</li>
<li><strong>Block Bindings for list items</strong>: Block Bindings now extend to List Item, making it possible to connect more block content to dynamic data sources without custom code.</li>
<li><strong>Custom icon registration</strong>: New functions let plugin and theme authors register their own icons for the Icons block for use throughout the block editor.</li>
<li><strong>Enforced iframed editor</strong>: The post editor now always runs inside an iframe, isolating the editing canvas from admin styles for more predictable rendering. Blocks using Block API v2 or lower should be updated to v3 for compatibility.</li>
<li><strong>wordpress/theme stabilization</strong>: Introduces design tokens and a stable React ThemeProvider to provide a more consistent, customizable foundation for WordPress admin interfaces.</li>
<li><strong>Connectors authentication improvements</strong>: The Connectors screen now also supports username and application-password login – a more familiar way to connect plugins and services. This release also closes a security gap where browsers could auto-suggest saved credentials into the API key field.</li>
</ul>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:00:19] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Welcome to the Jukebox Podcast from WP Tavern. My name is Nathan Wrigley.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jukebox is a podcast which is dedicated to all things WordPress. The people, the events, the plugins, the blocks, the themes, and in this case, the risks of legacy PHP in WordPress and why upgrading matters for security.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’d like to subscribe to the podcast, you can do that by searching for WP Tavern in your podcast player of choice, or by going to wptavern.com/feed/podcast, and you can copy that URL into most podcast players. If you have a topic that you’d like us to feature on the podcast, I’m keen to hear from you and hopefully get you or your idea featured on the show. Head to wptavern.com/contact/jukebox and use the form there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So on the podcast today we have Milan Petrović. Milan has been deeply immersed in the WordPress ecosystem since 2007, developing an array of plugins, especially for expanding bbPress forums, and running his own company, creating plugins before joining the Freemius team as a full stack developer. With nearly two decades of hand-on experience, Milan has witnessed firsthand the evolution of both the WordPress and PHP landscapes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many WordPress users may be only partially aware of PHP. Perhaps they’ve noticed version numbers in their hosting panel, but few of the millions of WordPress users understand the real impact that PHP versions have on the security and performance of their websites. Milan is here to shine a light on why embracing newer versions like PHP eight isn’t just good practise, but a crucial step for security and efficiency.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Milan begins by recounting his journey through WordPress development. The conversation gets into the heart of his recent WordCamp Europe presentation, which tackles how legacy PHP code exposes sites to thousands of open bugs and vulnerabilities. And why relying on old versions is, as he describes, an active invitation for automated exploitation.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The discussion explores the contrast between running legacy code, and using the native shields of modern PHP, and highlights how PHP 8 not only closes security holes, but also delivers major performance boosts, reducing memory usage, and accelerating speed.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re wondering why you should care about the PHP version your site is running on, or you’re a developer interested in practical ways to harden your code, Milan unpacks both the existential risks of outdated PHP, and the step-by-step benefits for hosts, agencies, and plug-in developers alike.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He introduces his Vulnerability Lab plugin, designed for developers to see firsthand how code exploits play out differently across PHP versions, and makes the case that modernising can happen gradually, one update, one plugin at a time.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’ve ever questioned how your hosting choice, or plugin stack, could affect your site’s future. Or you’re ready to take the first steps towards building more secure and future proof WordPress products, this episode is for you.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so without further delay, I bring you Milan Petrović.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I am joined on the podcast by Milan Petrović. Hello Milan.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:58] <strong>Milan Petrović:</strong> Hello Nathan. Thank you for having me here.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:04:00] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> You are very welcome. We’re in a beautiful, beautiful media room at WordCamp Europe. And I know that you have already done your presentation because we just had a little chat about the fact that you’ve done it and it went well and all of that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Do you want to tell us a little bit about you and your background working with code and developing and security and all of that kind of stuff? And then we’ll talk about your actual presentation and how it went.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:04:25] <strong>Milan Petrović:</strong> So I started with WordPress almost 20 years ago, so way back in 2007. And I created a lot of plugins for WordPress, and I especially have a lot of plugins for bbPress for expanding forums. Yeah, people still use forums these days. So that was, I really like bbPress and all the stuff I did with that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I have been working as a freelancer for a lot of years. I have my own company that was doing plugins, it’s called Dev4Press. But in 2024, I joined the amazing team at Freemius. So for almost two years I am a full stack developer at Freemius. And that was a really nice change of pace for me and the work I usually do before that. So yeah, that’s a short of it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:05:13] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah. That’s great. Thank you. And so the presentation that you did that is now over, goes like this. I’m going to read the entire blurb because it’s short enough to read, and it says, secure by design, hardening plugins with PHP 8.x. In the WordPress ecosystem, we’re often forced to choose between supporting the lowest common denominator of hosting and implementing modern security. But in 2026, writing legacy PHP 7 code isn’t just a bad habit, it’s an active invitation for automated exploitation. It’s time to stop playing whack-a-mole with sanitisation, and start building products that are secure by design. This talk isn’t just another slide deck on security tips. Through comparisons of a Vulnerability Lab plugin, you will see how common exploits like authentication bypass, and server side request forgery succeed on legacy code, only to be neutralised by the native shields of the latest PHP. You learn how to leverage the modern PHP patterns to ensure your plugins are resilient to a wide range of exploits.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now into the show notes I will put Milan’s wordpress.tv presentation so that you can go and watch the entirety of it. I guess basically if at any point you get confused, that would be a good idea, pause this podcast and go and check that out. But, how did it go? How well received was it?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:06:33] <strong>Milan Petrović:</strong> For me personally, I’m very satisfied with how how it went. I don’t know, it’s a bit overwhelming to be honest, but I am very satisfied and I got a lot of questions after the talk. I met a lot of people that liked what I had to say. And I think it’s good feedback to have, for something that is more technical like this was.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:06:52] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Well touching on the fact that it’s more technical, I have to confess that I think you are going to have to shepherd me through this, because a lot of the content that you I think probably got stuck into is beyond my pay grade. But hopefully we’ll get through it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now at WordCamp Europe, where we are now, I don’t know what the ratio is, but I’m guessing that a significant proportion of the people out there are not developers. They kind of know that PHP is a thing. They realise that WordPress is built on that, but they don’t really have an understanding.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They’ve probably heard of PHP 7. They’ve probably heard of PHP 8, because somewhere in a control panel that was shown to them. But maybe there’s not much of an understanding of the fact that it gets better over time. It gets secure over time. I think there’s probably a notion of, well, my website works. Why do I need to change anything?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So let’s get into that. What were you talking about in your presentation? What’s changed in the landscape of PHP more recently that you brought to the fore that you shared with your audience?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:07:51] <strong>Milan Petrović:</strong> Yeah, I think that PHP 8 was a big milestone for a lot of things. And I’m not sure, but I don’t think that the wider communities are kind of aware about the impact of the PHP, or the server environment in general, on how the websites work and how secure they are. Maybe the WordPress in itself needs to spread more awareness about that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because right now we get a notice in the dashboard that maybe the PHP needs to be updated. But for a lot of website users, that can be too much and too little information at the same time, because they may be not aware of how to do things on their hosting site.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We need to spread more awareness about how important the changes in the code are when it comes to the newer PHP versions, and what they can do to improve the security. And how developers should be starting to use more of those new features and the new things that PHP provides on a language level nowadays.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:08:49] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> WordPress has got this real legacy, I suppose is the right word, of supporting legacy code. So WordPress itself is supported way, way, way back. You can keep using versions of WordPress, which are many, many, many years old. And I wonder what your stance is in terms of PHP, whether or not WordPress runs versions of PHP which are far too old, in your opinion.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So in other words, should WordPress have a policy of, I don’t know, 8.x only? Or is 7 okay. And I don’t know what other CMS platforms, you know, Drupal, Joomla as was. I don’t know what they do, I don’t know what their posture is.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:09:32] <strong>Milan Petrović:</strong> I think that one of the most important decisions that, it was done with WordPress early on, is that backwards compatibility, because it opened the doors for a wider adoption. Because you don’t need to change server every year, or you don’t need to upgrade your software that often. And that helped a lot of hosting companies to provide WordPress hosting very cheaply, because they didn’t have to have the latest PHP, they didn’t have to invest much more money into all that. So WordPress got a lot of adoption from backwards compatibility policies.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But in the same time, that also proved a bit of a problem. Because even the WordPress Core code is kind of stuck because of that policy of backwards compatibility. And it’s not only compatibility with old versions of WordPress, but the old versions of PHP. And we are running now maybe six years behind end of life PHP versions. Because PHP 7.4 end of life was four and a half years ago. And we still support it in the Core.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:10:33] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, I guess it’s a nice thing to support it. And it, as you described, it was a great way of onboarding the millions of people that came along. But things have moved on.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What would be some of the top level items? And I’m inviting you to open the scary book and sort of give out the worst case scenarios basically of running legacy code. So really, go to town, frighten us all. What are some of the horrors that await if you’re quite willing to, as a hosting company, support seven point whatever or beyond, six or five, or dare I say it, four, who knows? What are some of the terrible things that await us?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:11:08] <strong>Milan Petrović:</strong> To be honest, when I was researching some of the statistics and things like that, I was kind of scared when I saw that there are 3 or 4,000 open bug reports for PHP 7 and PHP 5, which are still in use today, and there are WordPress websites running on both of them in the millions. And there are 3 or 4,000 open and confirmed bags that are never going to be fixed. Never. So PHP 7 has thousands of bugs, and I’m sure that not everything security related, but a big chunk of those bags are related to security.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And there are open exploits that run on the PHP level. They don’t care really about if you are using WordPress or using something else. It’s more like a exploit on the level of a, on a server side that can be quite scary because you, even the technical people are not really sure what are all those bugs. Who is going to go through 3,000 or 4,000 bug reports?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:12:05] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, so just to sort of describe that, the fact that there is no more updates to the 7 branch of PHP means that all of those bugs which are publicly available, anybody can go and read great detail about what they are. Well that then means that any hacker can do that, and probably did like a dozen years ago. And so really you are painting a picture there of you are asking for trouble.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:12:30] <strong>Milan Petrović:</strong> There are hosting companies that maybe do things a bit differently because you don’t need to run PHP as it was created. You can build your own version of PHP. You can patch bugs on your own. And a lot of hosting companies are doing that. But in the same time, that also poses a problem. You are going to run WordPress in your own plugins on a platform that is not actually officially PHP supported. It can have some different quirks that make your code run a bit differently.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A while ago we had the Facebook running their own PHP build, that was quite different from the public PHP. But they used it, and other people started using it. So I don’t know. Still I think that the official PHP is the one you should be on because you never know what other issues. Even when hosting company patches the PHP they’re using, maybe they’re opening doors to something else that is not quite documented on that level.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I think that the best policies, I don’t expect for WordPress to adopt the latest PHP or only supported PHP versions, but to kind of move quicker on the adoption of the newest version. So maybe we should be quicker to adopt PHP 8.0 or 8.1 is a next minimal required version for WordPress.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:13:50] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> When you say you don’t expect WordPress to do it, is that simply because it doesn’t have a history of doing it? Is there a technical reason why WordPress could not keep up with the latest version? I know we’ve got this plugin architecture where there’s thousands and thousands of developers who are all doing their own thing, and there’s all of that. Is there any technical reason why WordPress couldn’t be on the cutting edge, most up-to-date, latest version?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:14:15] <strong>Milan Petrović:</strong> There are two factors in all that. First one is you can declare, PHP 8 is the minimal version we support. We don’t support PHP 7.4 anymore. And that means that you don’t need to make any changes in WordPress at that point. You can declare it because WordPress is compatible with all PHP versions. It works on 8.0 and 8.5. That’s no problem. But say that branch 7 is no longer supported, you’re kind of pushing other developers and hosting companies to improve their support for newer versions.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And you don’t need to make immediate changes to WordPress. But at that point, you are open to modernise the code because now you can have more stricter typing across the board. There are some strict typing things in older PHP versions, but with 8.0, you can do all of that. And it doesn’t have to be a process that is done immediately. It can be done gradually. You can update parts of the WordPress Core over time. And it’ll take a few years, to get up to date, but at least you are closing doors to some older versions of PHP, and you are pushing developers as well for plugins to have that policy.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Right now, each developer can have their own plugins supporting any version of PHP you want. For my plugins, I have policy of 8.0 as a minimal version since this year. And, I’m updating the code as I go along. I don’t do it, it’s impossible to do it all at once. And for WordPress, it’s going to be even worse to make it all up to date. But declaring PHP 8 is a minimal required version, would be a great step in the right direction for wider adoption.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:15:51] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, I think the problem is simply one of the user base, isn’t it? There’s just millions of people, thousands of developers all doing their own thing. And casting 8.x, 8.0 and above as the new minimum, there’s going to be a moment where some things do go wrong.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So that calendar plugin that you’ve been using for ages, which just works. And sure, you’ve never really received any updates from the developer, but it just works. Everybody’s booking on my calendar and we are all good. And then suddenly PHP 8 is required and it turns out the calendar plugin now no longer works.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can imagine those kind of stories a million times over coming to the fore. But equally, we got to move on. There’s no way of, you know, because we can’t in 10 years still have sites on 7.4.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:16:43] <strong>Milan Petrović:</strong> We have sites on five point something. I recently checked the official WordPress tracking. 7.4 is on 20% even now. So we are far away from WordPress ditching the 7 branch. And I think there are still few percent of PHP 5 in all that so.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:17:01] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yes, I regularly look at the, it’s like a little donut chart, isn’t it? That is often produced and you gradually see the eight point x whatever section of the pie getting bigger as they produce the next survey. But you’re right, it’s still a significant chunk that’s on 7 and below.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And whilst when I look at that chart, it doesn’t really bring any alarm bells to the fore, I just think, oh, that’s a shame. But now that you are presenting this talk, and giving me this information, I realise that that attack surface is worse.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When you gave that talk, who is your target audience? Were you directly sort of aiming at the hosting companies who presumably can do a lot of work very quickly? You know, they could take a million people onto 8 with a little bit of development work and on the back end of their platform. Or are you really encouraging the general WordPress user, like me, to take a bit more interest an���h\ �Wr� � � � \���E� � 4i�$9 J ! infimum supremum 4 � jp#/ �#�e_editor_counter46auto � G � jp)3 ��_elementor_free_to_pro_upsella:2:{s:7:"timeout";i:1780815248;s:5:"value";s:723:"[{"id":"animated_headline","imageSrc":"https:\/\/assets.elementor.com\/free-to-pro-upsell\/v1\/images\/animated_headline.jpg"},{"id":"video_playlist","imageSrc":"https:\/\/assets.elementor.com\/free-to-pro-upsell\/v1\/images\/video_playlist.jpg"},{"id":"cta","imageSrc":"https:\/\/assets.elementor.com\/free-to-pro-upsell\/v1\/images\/cta.jpg"},{"id":"testimonial_widget","imageSrc":"https:\/\/assets.elementor.com\/free-to-pro-upsell\/v1\/images\/testimonial_widget.jpg"},{"id":"image_carousel","imageSrc":"https:\/\/assets.elementor.com\/free-to-pro-upsell\/v1\/images\/image_carousel.jpg"},{"id":"connect-pro-upgrade","imageSrc":"https:\/\/assets.elementor.com\/free-to-pro-upsell\/v1\/images\/connect-pro-upgrade.jpg"}]";}off� R � jp+4 ��_elementor_notifications_data � � & /2off�� (� � jp/7 �_elementor_v4_promotionsa:2:{s:7:"timeout";i:1780815250;s:5:"value";s:862:"[{"customCss":{"title":"Custom CSS","content":"Add custom CSS to refine and enrich the appearance of any element on your site.","ctaUrl":"https:\/\/go.elementor.com\/go-pro-style-custom-css\/","image":"https:\/\/assets.elementor.com\/packages\/v1\/images\/custom_css_promotion.png"},"displayConditions":{"title":"Display conditions","content":"Control when and where elements are shown across your site.","ctaUrl":"https:\/\/go.elementor.com\/go-pro-display-conditions-modal\/","image":"https:\/\/assets.elementor.com\/packages\/v1\/images\/display_conditions_promotion.png"},"attributes":{"title":"Attributes","content":"Add custom attributes when you need deeper customization and better accessibility.","ctaUrl":"https:\/\/go.elementor.com\/go-pro-attributes-modal\/","image":"https:\/\/assets.elementor.com\/packages\/v1\/images\/attributes_promotion.png"}}]";}off " 0 c � �m� _elementor_element_cache_unique_id33b1d8718473082c46428d4b3d77125bauto

� ?� �d make sure that I am going into the cPanel or whatever it is and updating myself? Or is it a bit of both?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:17:59] <strong>Milan Petrović:</strong> For everyone actually. It’s for developers to be more aware of what they can gain with the new PHP versions. It’s for hosting companies. Because it’s not only about security when it comes to the newer PHP. The PHP is faster and faster. So each new version gets you 5 or 10% more performance without doing anything. So PHP 8.5 is more than 50% faster than PHP 7.4. So that’s a significant update.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And I have even, one slide was showing how much less memory PHP 8.5 used to run exactly the same piece of code. So it’s pretty wild to see that hosting companies are maybe the biggest factor in all this. They will gain a lot more because they’re going to free a lot of resources to run more websites because PHP is going to use less memory and it’s going to be faster.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So I understand they need to invest a lot of money to do all that. But, I don’t know, I think that gains from that are very significant, on that level alone.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:18:57] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, so you described there are really compelling scenario. You know, it’s quicker, it uses less memory, you’ll save money. I mean what else do you need? You’ve just presented the entire argument.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, it hasn’t happened. So technically speaking, why do you think it hasn’t happened? Is there an acquisition of new knowledge that is difficult to take in? Is it that simply you would have to, I don’t know, retrain your staff? How do you understand that it hasn’t happened? What are the reasons people are digging their heels in and not making these updates?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:19:25] <strong>Milan Petrović:</strong> I kind of make the group of two or three types of hosting companies. One, and that’s usually more expensive managed hosting solutions. They are forcing the updates. They’re not maybe on the latest version, but they are forcing their users to use at least three or four versions of PHP back. So maybe 8.2 or 8.3, which is a great step in the right direction.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is also a problem of support. If something starts breaking, they’re going to be the first one to be asked about that, because they made the change to the server. So why now website that was working yesterday is no longer working today because of some change made on a hosting level. So there are a lot of factors to play into that adoption.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But on the other hand, there are a lot of developers that have moved on with supporting PHP 8. A lot of plugins are very much updated and, especially popular plugins. They invested a lot of time to do the update. It’s getting easier to support it. But on the other hand, you have very old websites that are simply cannot move without proper testing, without updating the plugins. And there are cases when you cannot simply update one plugin because something else may break, or you made some changes that will make some other thing break. So it’s a big puzzle that is definitely not easy to solve, but maybe we should start some work on that as a community to do it, and to move people along.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I don’t want to say force the change, but make people aware of the benefits. Make people aware of the risks if they continue to run the old and outdated software. And the same goes for not updating plugins, not updating WordPress. No matter how much work is done in that regard, there are still most likely some exploits on a WordPress level for very old versions that at some point someone is going to find out about and exploit.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:21:16] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I mean I guess the motto of WordPress was democratised publishing, which means basically make it available to everybody. No matter your level of expertise, make it available to everybody. And I’m sure that if you were to grab the CEO of any hosting company and say, I can save you money, I can save you resources, and all of those things that you outlined earlier, they would, yeah, we know, we know. But we’ve got thousands of non-technical people using WordPress.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I kind of have this analogy in my head, and it goes a bit like this. Several years ago, I bought a bike. And it sits in my garage and there is my bike. And I expect my bike to work tomorrow in the same way that it did four years ago. And in 10 years, I expect my bike to work. I don’t expect there to be an update to wheels or gears or the saddle. It doesn’t need an update. It’s just a bike. And I need my bike to be a bike and nothing more.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And I get the impression that many people treat their WordPress website as the same thing. This sort of static commodity that, sure enough, they pay a monthly fee for it, but it’s this website. It’s a thing, and it doesn’t need changing. And so what I’m trying to say is, I’m fairly sure that the hosting companies are met with that an awful lot. The customers who just, it’s a bike, it’s a website. Do you know what I mean?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:22:37] <strong>Milan Petrović:</strong> Yeah, but you need to maintain your bike. If you don’t do it, it’s going to, your belt is going to rust, your wheels are going to be deflated or whatever. A lot of things can happen with it if you don’t maintain it. So, we don’t need to upgrade everything all at once, but we can start from someplace. We can do it gradually. But still, WordPress needs to be the platform that leads the charging that, because it’s going to force other developers to do it. It’s going to force hosting companies to start doing it. And it’s not a big jump on moving just that one version, but it’s going to help to move things along faster. Let’s see how it goes in the next few years. But I really don’t expect for WordPress to drop 7.4 for at least a year or two, maybe even more.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:23:24] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I loved your rebuttal of my bike analogy there. That was perfect. That’s exactly right. The bike will rust, the wheels will be deflated and all of that, yeah. So we need to drag the WordPress users along.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, in your presentation, you mentioned something that I have never used, the Vulnerability Lab plugin, which you used to demonstrate the attack. Can you just tell us a little bit about that? Because I’d be curious to follow that up, and maybe some people listening to this would too.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:23:47] <strong>Milan Petrović:</strong> I started it for, created for this talk specifically to add few examples and to run the code that is going to show those things if you run the plugin on the old version and the new version of PHP. And I do plan to expand on it because there are a lot more PHP security elements that can be demonstrated in that way.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So it can show you, you have like a, in many cases the same code, but if you run it on one platform, you’re going to get one result. And if you run it on the newer one, you will get something different. So it’s useful to show, and some of those changes are quite small, those attributes that you can add to the code are very, very small, but they can really help you to improve security of your plugin.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And there are more complex security measures that can be implemented, but the format of the talk wasn’t really suitable to mention everything. But this was like something to get you started on the path of discovering what else PHP 8 can offer, when it comes to improving the security of the plugins and what possible exploits and vulnerabilities are there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I try to use some obvious things that are very easy to spot. And I’m sure I did made some of those errors myself in the past. So some of those examples are something that I dealt with when I was upgrading my code. So I’m sure that a lot of people can see similar problems in their own code, and similar kind of solutions that can help them to overcome those and to make them much more resilient in the future.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:25:17] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So is your plugin designed primarily, would you say for developers in mind, or is it something that just a typical end user may get some mileage out of?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:25:26] <strong>Milan Petrović:</strong> No, it’s more for developers that they can see, they can run that code and see how it behaves on the old version and the new version to demonstrate some of those things. And I will definitely expand it to include more examples in the future. Even for myself to like a document, what can happen if you run something in the old version, and the new version?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I had some suggestions coming to me like, maybe like a pattern library that is going to show what is the pattern that we use with old PHP and how to improve it with a new one, and document which version of PHP is going to support it, and how it’s going to improve the code.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:26:01] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So is the idea then that you would instal it on various different, let’s say that you’ve got a live site and you’ve got, I don’t know, a development site and another development site, is that you would put it on each of those, different PHP versions, and just sort of compare and contrast what.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:26:16] <strong>Milan Petrović:</strong> Yeah, that can be used.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:26:17] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, in that way. And what’s the reporting that you get? Is it kind of error logs, you know, that only a developer would be able to understand, or is it in plain language that somebody like me could understand?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:26:26] <strong>Milan Petrović:</strong> Right now it’s a bit technical because if you run a certain part of the code, some of those elements do have a visual component in the admin section. You will see, one of the examples, if it’s run on PHP 7.4, it’s going to result in a fatal error for sure, depending on the server settings. And if you run it on the new version, you will get a full code running and executing as expected.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So it’s a bit of a development thing that developers can use themselves to show maybe to potential clients or to website owners what is going to happen if they continue to run the outdated versions of the PHP. So it’s not just, yeah, the PHP 7.4 is bad, but here it is, why it is bad actually.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:27:12] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Okay, that’s a really interesting use case, isn’t it? So if I’m an agency owner and I’ve got, I don’t know, a client over here who is absolutely wedded to this plugin, this calendar plugin say, and we know that the development of that plugin has ended years ago, then trying to persuade that client to find something new, or have something new built is difficult.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But with the capabilities of the plugin that you’ve created, you’ll be able to show in a sort of readable human way, okay, right. That’s all very well, but we’ve got to get onto PHP 8.0. And when we do that, this is going to happen.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So that’s actually quite a useful tool for agencies to be able to dangle things in front of the noses of their clients. Potentially, I don’t know, get some new work out of it as well, because there’s this extra work that needs to be done to bring it up to the modern standards.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:28:01] <strong>Milan Petrović:</strong> Yes. And one example especially demonstrates not only security, it demonstrates the performance. It shows you how much memory that piece of code is using on old version. Almost half the memory is going to be used less with a new version. So that’s very on the nose demonstration on security, and the performance in the same time. So things like that can help. And I will definitely try to invest more time in showing more examples and anyone can contribute.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s a plugin available on GitHub, so any contributions in that regard are welcome. And we can maybe all work to create like a list of patterns that are something that a lot of people can use, and show different people how the PHP can help them move along.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And again, I don’t want to sound like we don’t need whatever WordPress is doing. We still need to use all the security enhancements that WordPress has built in the Core. Escaping, sanitisation. All that is still very important because you cannot solve everything by upgrading PHP and upgrading your code to use some of the PHP features. There are still a lot of security elements in WordPress itself that are very important and should not be replaced, or removed, from the code. There are patterns that are crucial to ensuring the security is on a top level. So combination of what WordPress already has, plus everything we get with the newer PHP is something that we should strive in the future, and to make things better.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And it’s not that complicated to start with the process. You can start upgrading small things. You can start with stricter typing. You can start with very small changes, and then gradually you can add those new attributes. You can replace some of the functions that you may be used with old version of PHP, but there is something better in the new version. So that’s something that everyone can do. Do a bit at a time so not everything at once. Spend time and make some gradual upgrades, and that’s going to help moving along.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:29:57] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> You are obviously here to talk about where PHP meets WordPress, but presumably you, yourself are gaining intel from the PHP community. Is there a resource, like a central PHP resource that you would direct people to, or would you rather steer them towards kind of WordPress resources? The things that people are doing in the WordPress space and the hosting space. There’s not really a question there, but it’s more where do you find your information? Where’s the most reliable place?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:30:25] <strong>Milan Petrović:</strong> You need to check everything. PHP website is a really good resource to find the information about what’s coming in the next version of PHP, because the preparations take up to a year to release a new version of PHP. So they’re now on a cycle that every December we get a new feature version. So in December this year, there is going to be PHP 8.6. And you already know most of the things that are coming to that version. You have the detailed list of changes for every PHP version. And that’s something that any developer should look at, and to see maybe something that will drive them to upgrade.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the current usage of third party libraries, there are a lot of libraries used in PHP that have moved on beyond 7.4. There are a lot of libraries that now require 8.1 or 8.2. If you depend on some library for, I don’t know, parsing URLs, or doing somethingE�u\ T�I� � \ �J
� ?� � else, something for security, something for whatever. You may face the problem that if you want to use the latest version of that library, you will need to have the newer PHP version. So you are kind of forced to upgrade your plugin requirements to meet with the requirements of the third party libraries.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And outside of WordPress ecosystem, those libraries will move much faster with the adoption of newer PHPs versions than WordPress itself, because they don’t deal with millions and millions of websites that are affected. They are creating the library the best way they can. And they want to ensure that their library is secure, that their library has access to the latest features. So they are going to bump requirements for those libraries on their own. And if you are depending on it, you need to do it yourself for your plugin. So it’s kind of, those libraries are kind of forcing the hand of some developers to upgrade, even if they maybe are not ready at this point to do it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:32:15] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, it certainly sounds like there’s no lack of information out there. If you make your business to find the information, then it’s all there. You’ve just got to make the effort to go and find it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ve kind of run the gamut of everything I wish to ask. However, I’m very conscious, as I said at the beginning, that this conversation is a little bit above my pay grade. Is there anything that I missed that you wished you had been asked that you wanted to get across?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:32:38] <strong>Milan Petrović:</strong> No, I think we covered a lot of stuff in that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:32:42] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Well I’m glad to hear it. That’s great. Yeah, thank you.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In which case, I’m assuming, given that you’ve come to an event like this and you’ve put a plugin on GitHub, you are sort of semi available, or very available, to have conversations with people around this. And if that’s the case, where’s the best place to find you online? A website or an email address or a Twitter handle or whatever.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:33:00] <strong>Milan Petrović:</strong> We included the slide with the contact information. So even the email, if someone wants to get more information, they can do it on various social networks as well. So any input about all that is welcome. And I’d be happy to help if someone needs, some pointers or additional information to get started with all this.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:33:21] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Well, thank you. That’s very much appreciated. As always, if you go to the show notes on the WP Tavern website and click on the episode involving Milan, you’ll be able to find, buried probably towards the bottom, all the different bits and pieces, the wordpress.tv video that will go with his presentation and various other links that have been discussed during the course of this episode.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So with that said, Milan, thank you so much for chatting to me today. I really appreciate it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:33:47] <strong>Milan Petrović:</strong> Thank you. It was really great, and I appreciate your invitation for the interview.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:33:52] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> You are so welcome. Thank you.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the podcast today we have <a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/gdragon/">Milan Petrović</a>.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Milan has been deeply immersed in the WordPress ecosystem since 2007, developing an array of plugins, especially for expanding bbPress forums, and running his own company creating plugins before joining the Freemius team as a full stack developer. With nearly two decades of hands-on experience, Milan has witnessed firsthand the evolution of both the WordPress and PHP landscapes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many WordPress users may be only partially aware of PHP, perhaps they’ve noticed version numbers in their hosting panels, but few of the millions of WordPress users understand the real impact that PHP versions have on the security and performance of their websites. Milan is here to shine a light on why embracing newer versions, like PHP 8.x, isn’t just good practice but a crucial step for security and efficiency.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Milan begins by recounting his journey through WordPress development. The conversation gets into the heart of his recent WordCamp Europe presentation, which tackles how legacy PHP code exposes sites to thousands of open bugs and vulnerabilities, and why relying on old versions is, as he describes, “an active invitation for automated exploitation.” The discussion explores the contrast between running legacy code and using the “native shields” of modern PHP, and highlights how PHP 8.x not only closes security holes but also delivers major performance boosts, reducing memory usage and accelerating speed.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re wondering why you should care about the PHP version your site is running on, or you’re a developer interested in practical ways to harden your code, Milan unpacks both the existential risks of outdated PHP and the step-by-step benefits for hosts, agencies, and plugin developers alike.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He introduces his Vulnerability Lab plugin, designed for developers to see first-hand how code exploits play out differently across PHP versions, and makes the case that modernising can happen gradually, one update, one plugin at a time.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’ve ever questioned how your hosting choice or plugin stack could affect your site’s future, or you’re ready to take the first steps towards building more secure and future-proof WordPress products, this episode is for you.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Phoenix itself rewards anyone who adds a day or two to their trip. The capital of Arizona sits in the Sonoran Desert and pairs a lively downtown with a rich arts and food scene. The Roosevelt Row arts district is known for its galleries, murals, and independent restaurants. It is also home to one of the largest art walks in the region. Nearby, Chase Field and the Footprint Center host professional baseball and live shows, and the surrounding desert offers striking scenery at places like Papago Park and the Desert Botanical Garden.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Explore Real-World Projects on Showcase Day</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Day 2, Showcase Day, is dedicated to real-world WordPress projects and focuses on how teams develop features, manage publishing, and run demanding sites at scale. It brings to life the kind of work collected in the WordPress <a href="https://wordpress.org/showcase/">Showcase</a>, the directory of standout sites built on the platform, from global brands like <a href="https://wordpress.org/showcase/disney-connect/">Disney</a> to community publishers and institutions like <a href="https://wordpress.org/showcase/nasa/">NASA</a>. Past WordCamp US Showcase days have brought teams from the likes of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGvh7fCOUk0">Wikimedia</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHk-Us00pTk">CANCOM</a> to explain how they manage large, high-traffic systems. Other sessions took a builder’s perspective on catching bugs faster with automated testing and even running the Block Editor inside a custom app.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img alt="" class="wp-image-21064" height="576" src="https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/Z637241.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1" width="1024" /></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dive Into Two Conference Days</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The two main conference days will bring a full slate of sessions across four tracks. First among them is the AI track, which treats the technology as a tool to handle with care rather than a headline to chase. Its sessions set guardrails for AI-assisted development, prepare for a web where AI agents become the visitors a site must serve, and weigh the legal and ethical questions of putting AI tools in the hands of clients. Speakers from companies like Elementor will be taking a look at where the web is heading, while keeping the focus on what teams can adopt today without giving up control of their work.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Technical WordPress and Honing Your Skills tracks cover the craft and business of building with WordPress. On the technical side, sessions dig into modern development workflows, automated testing with tools like the browser-based <a href="https://playground.wordpress.net/">WordPress Playground</a>, and plugin pipelines. The Honing Your Skills track adds practical guidance on pricing, maintenance, and how the agency model is changing as clients ask for more. The Beginner WordPress track keeps the door open for newcomers, with approachable sessions that make your first WordCamp less daunting. Hands-on work runs through all of these tracks, so alongside the talks, attendees will find workshops and working sessions where they can build something real and leave ready to apply it to their own projects.</p>

The conversation centers on the releases of Gutenberg 23.4 and 23.5, the recent WordPress 7.0.1 maintenance update, and the strategic roadmap for the upcoming WordPress 7.1.A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to major merge proposals destined for WordPress 7.1 that aim to evolve the core software. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These include “Core Abilities” for AI agent integration, the new “Knowledge” post type for managing site standards and guidelines, and “Design System Theming” to enhance consistency and accessibility via CSS custom properties. The hosts also discuss the shift toward mandatory iframing for the post editor in block-based themes, a critical architectural change designed to improve content rendering.Beyond core architecture, the episode highlights user-focused improvements such as enhanced responsive editing controls, which now allow for granular canvas resizing without preset limits. They also touch on media-related updates, including aspect ratio controls in the media editor, and improvements to the Icon block. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With WordPress 7.1’s Beta 1 approaching, Birgit and Ellen emphasize the importance of community involvement, encouraging developers and site owners to participate in ongoing “Call for Testing” efforts. Whether discussing React 19 status or new grid layout properties, the episode serves as a comprehensive briefing for anyone looking to stay current with the rapidly changing landscape of the block editor and WordPress core development.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Welcome to our 132nd episode of the Gutenberg Changelog podcast. In today’s episode, we will talk about proposals for core, calls for testing Gutenberg 23.4, Gutenberg 23.5, and whatever side ideas we have about 7.1, which is in the works. I’m your host, Birgit Pauli-Haack, curator at the Gutenberg Times and a full time core contributor for the WordPress open source project sponsored by Automattic. With me today on the show, and I’m very delighted to tell you that is Ellen Bauer, product manager at WordPress.com and early adopter of block themes. Thank you for joining me, Ellen. How are you today?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> Thank you very much. Always happy to be here. I’m great. I just landed back in Bangkok this week where we are. I’m staying here a little bit longer with my family this year from Germany, visiting family and attending a meetup. And yeah, it’s good to kind of do that travel because it always inspires me to get out of a routine. And yeah, I’m really glad I’m here now and motivated.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> To get back into working, improving WordPress.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> That’s a great time to spend in Germany. And I hope you had luck with the weather.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer</em>: Well, there was this heat wave in the second week. It completely knocked me out, to be honest.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah, that was really hard. And a lot of people say that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> It was great and went on the last day I went to Legoland for the first time, which was also an experience and exhaust 3�\����
� \]R
� ?� �ing, but great.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> That’s here between Munich and Augsburg.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> Yeah, I think it’s close. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, between my first time. Oh, nice. Yeah, maybe I should go there too. But it is fun.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> It is fun. Maybe not. I don’t recommend to go in the summer on a Sunday, which we did, but. Oh yeah, that’s actually really fun.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Family day. Yeah. So you mentioned you attended the meetup in Porto. What was your takeaway from the meetup with digital?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> So it was actually the main reason I came to Europe for it was the first time all products meetup from Automattic in beautiful Portugal for me, also the first time I’ve been to Portugal, which shouldn’t happen to not visit before. But it was really cool. I love Portugal. Really lovely people, beautiful vibe, nice weather. Yeah, it was really relaxing, really a treat. And then very inspiring and motivating to be in the product group for the first time all together in a nice setting and we had amazing conversations. For me, I also got to know my team a little bit better because I just sort of recently switched into dot com, so that was helpful. But yeah, also a lot of meaningful, deep conversations and I’m really, really motivated after that meetup.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Oh yeah. So when you said meetup, I’m still in the community brain, so I thought it might have been a WordPress meetup because I spent some time. And that’s probably also the reason why my brain went there instead of the internal. Because I spent some time with meetups, local WordPress meetups in Salzburg and in Erfurt and also in Munich. I restarted the meetup here in Munich with a few of the original founders and some other people and. And it’s a totally different vibe than a WordPress conference.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> That is true. I love meetups.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> You meet 15 maximum 20 people and then you learn more about how they use WordPress, what they really move a normal user. So it kind of grounds you much better than kind of always being in the contributor section, kind of.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> So that is true. Well, there was WordCamp Europe, which I didn’t attend because it was just so much. I attended WordCamp Asia, which I also loved this year. That was such an amazing experience and very motivating. And I talked to a lot of people who are meetup organizers in India and I really now want to visit one of their meetups. It sounds fun. I also visited the meetup here in Bangkok before and I love the people there, the really tight community. And I’m also. I have been thinking for many years now that I should actually start a meetup in our town in New Zealand. I haven’t committed, but I’m always coming back thinking about it. So maybe I should just commit and do that because it would be cool to have like a local.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> In New Zealand. There aren’t many around, but it would be cool.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Well, the first thing that you need is a co-organizer. So don’t start until you have a second person to do that because we travel a lot. Well, I travel a lot and I cannot be at every meetup, so I need somebody else to do that. So that was kind of back of mind.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> That’s a good advice.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. And the meetups in India, they’re really big. They’re 40, 50 people.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> I talked to someone and. And they have 200 people every month on Surat. I was like, I want to come. Yeah, it’s amazing. Like, I want to visit.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> It’s a small word camp for an evening kind of thing.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> That is so true.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Calls for Testing</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> All right. Yeah. So work for 7.1 is progressing and there are calls for testing out, and this is the first time that there are so many out there. There are five of them. And if you want to learn what’s really in 7.1, there’s no better way to take a deep dive and heed the call for testing. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So there’s a call for testing for the responsive styling and yes, it’s coming to WordPress now. And then there’s a call for testing for the new modal media editor that opens up when you click on the crop icon in the toolbar of an image block or a cover block. And then there is the call for testing for the client media processing. That’s a feature that comes to 7.1 where the client, the browser is actually doing a lot of work in uploading the upload side of the image uploads and the resizing and then dumps it into the WordPress media library. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There’s also a real time collaboration outreach effort that is also a call for testing. And then there’s a call for testing for getting Unicode into email addresses. And that’s kind of fun too. So the testing has done an amazing job putting those calls for testing together because you get instructions on how to use it and videos to show you how to use it and then the instructions also for the testing. So your mental work on how do I test this is already done. You’re just going to follow the script and, and then have room in your mental room to observe your feelings for whatever you’re doing and kind of try to, to verbalize them and share your feedback. So it’s really interesting and I hope you dear listeners are going to heed those calls. One or two of them. You don’t have to do all of them. Yeah, I don’t grade you, but there will be a test. Yeah. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Community Contributions</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Then there are also two. Well, I said two, but there are actually three merge proposals from the contributors. There’s new things coming to WordPress Core. One is expanding the WordPress Core abilities. It’s a merge proposal to add three read-only abilities to cover the settings, content and users for AI. And it gives AI clients real tools to call so the agents can understand what your site’s configuration, post and people are doing. There’s a discussion should this be in core, should this be a plugin and all that you can read up on the post. And the second one is also for AI is the guidelines to build knowledge on your website. Yeah, what’s your tone about what’s the tone of voice, the expression, what the topic is about and what the members are, what the standards are and all the notes for revision and capabilities. So an AI agent could follow those instructions as well.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And for people who manage multiple sites with one AI they can actually it’s different for every site. So it’s really important to have that on the site to give that that’s a new content type and new settings pages for these things. So you can even use your AI to update those guidelines. There’s one thing and then of course the last one is the bigger one and that’s a merge proposal for the design systems theming Andrew Duthie published a merge proposal bringing design tokens and new theme components to WordPress built by the Gutenberg Components team. But it turns the hard coded admin styles into CSS custom properties so your plugins and screens stay consistent and accessible. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Then a color ramp tool generates harmonious accessible scales from just two seed colors and the user color scheme reaches the site editor which will come into I think 7.1. So with a dark mode on the horizon. So it’s a good time to get involved in the discussion now, dear listeners, and to make your point of view listen to and converse with others on the impact for you and your business and for your clients because that’s where the decisions are made. Some of them are already made but they are loosely held, so to speak. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There’s a whole aspect of WordPress is we have strong opinions but they’re loosely held. If you have a good argument and you have a good use case or a different point of view, you are listened to. Of course if aired respectfully and even if it’s not respectful it should be because we all want to do the same thing. So the links to all the merge proposals and calls for testing will be in the show notes. You get to pick what you are interested in and so that’s a whole thing that happened in the last three weeks when we didn’t have a Gutenberg change log. So I wanted to catch you up. Any thoughts on that Ellen, that you want to share with our listeners?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> I think on the merge proposals but I think for the calls for testing the responsive styling of course sticks out to me because we have been calling for that for so long and the user the feedback was always there like what is that without responsive styling? So now here it is. So yeah go ahead and test it and I will do the same and kind of contribute to make it better or improve what. What we can. But here we go. We finally have. I think the number one ask always this is missing in Gutenberg.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. I think the number one ask is not the responsive design because Gutenberg is responsive in certain areas. It’s a viewpoint. It’s a media kind of thing. Yeah. So what is a tablet? What is a mobile. And to change things for those screen sizes. And there was a big hesitation and there’s. On the developer blog, there’s an article about intrinsic design that’s built into Gutenberg. And I think the thinking was, okay, intrinsic design is what comes after media queries. Comes after. So because we need to also talk to what is component in the container queries in CSS and all that. And at the start of Gutenberg people wanted to push the envelope of intrinsic design and then see what’s missing. And. And now we know where it all goes and how to. To change it. And there is a. Yeah, we talk about it a little later when we come to that. Yeah, but so that’s kind of. That part why it took so long, I think was the reason why I kind of went on the drain there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> That is true. I’m glad that we didn’t do like earlier versions of it. It seems late, but yeah, there’s. There’s a reason.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> But I think, yeah, a lot of plugin companies actually filled that gap quite nicely. I also saw a few implementations where you didn’t have three viewports or breakpoints, you had six, so. And I kind of couldn’t imagine that a normal user can keep in their head six different sizes to control the styling and when something needs to be changed to find it again where that actually was changed. I get the hesitation. So yeah, yeah..</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> You quickly go a little overboard with that. And I’m also glad that we didn’t do that on the core level.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What’s Released – WordPress 7.0.1</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Birgit Pauli-Haack: Yeah. So that brings us to what’s released and it’s release week kind of thing. So on Wednesday and we’re recording this on Friday, July 10, Thursday, July 9, WordPress 7.0.1 was released with bug fixes from the major release. And the release candidate announcement has a list of all the fixes in track and from the Gutenberg repo, </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’m preparing an article for the Gutenberg Times. I will probably put in the show notes about what the fixes actually did is the WPKSS or however say that CSS corruption on some of the admin design glitches and some more. So you can have a summary of that. Yeah. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On Wednesday, just the day before 7.0.1, a user ask in the core channel, what is. I see all the communication. Yeah. What is the latest version actually, and at that time it was still 7.0, but we say but tomorrow it’s going to be 7.0.1. 7.0.1. Yes. Yeah, yeah. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So 7.1 last month Anne McCarthy posted the roadmap 7.1. It was aspirational and also very concise with an outline and links to the tracking issue for the many features contributors have been working towards. Beta 1 of 7.1 is scheduled for next week. That’s July 15th. And by then we will know the full picture of what made it and didn’t make it into the release features from the Gutenberg plugin releases 22.6 through 23.6 will come to 7.1 unless they’re behind an experiment flag or plugin or plugin only as guardrail 23.6 release candidate. And that’s what’s getting into the beta version is on July 14, so one day before the beta version, because that’s where all the NPM packages are created and all the things get into the branches. Right feature branch. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The final release of 23.6 is moved to July 22nd. That was kind of decided by the release tech leads to get it all just in time for beta and organize that. So the deadline for enhancement into the plugin on 7.1 is July 14, the day before beta. So if you’re a contributor and you want to get the feature that you were working on in this weekend is probably crucial because it also needs to be reviewed and approved. So give people time to get in there. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So yeah, what should be on your radar for 7.1 is the mandatory iframe of the post editor. We mentioned it before. It actually has also a lead time to come to this point is the post editor runs inside or the block editor should run inside an iframe because it isolates the content from your admin styles and makes the viewport units and media queries work correctly against the editing canvas rather than the browser window. And in 7.1, iframing becomes more enforced for block based themes or for all themes because it ensures that canvas behaves predictably and the blocks render accurately for both the post editor and the site editor, template editor and pattern editor and plugin developers. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So plugin developers who have not updated their Block collections from version 2Block JSON version 2 to 3 should actually upgrade to make this all work. If you want to catch up on the newest discussion, there’s a Gutenberg PR that’s called Always the post editor for book theme. And that’s the 79819. And if you put that in your playground, you can actually add some of the plugins or your staging site, or add it to the staging site, then you can test your things. I think the biggest problems are sites that are maintained by people that do not read the make blog or do not listen to podcasts or read blog posts about their site or the software. And those are sites that haven’t been maintained for a while, otherwise they would have already upgraded things. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> So block themes need to do anything too. They haven’t. No. Right.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> I haven’t look���

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> It’s a problem for blocks. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> That are in the block plugin collections.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. That only. They were only meant for post editor and have never been used inside editor or something like that. Because those would have broken already. Because the site editor since 2020 kind of uses an iframe version. So if you use the block in a template or use the pages thing from the site editor, the pages administration from the site editor, you will know when the block breaks. And in the post editor, if you go into the console, you see the notification that it’s going to be deprecated. But if you’re only in the post editor and never look at anything else and those blocks might break if they’re not updated.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> What should they do if this happened to them?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> There are some guardrails in place and there were two PRs. That one is the hard kind of, okay, we do all the iframe insight and that’s going to be in beta. And in beta, listening to the feedback will decide if there will be a switch to the other less hard choice there in terms of saying, okay, if it’s a block theme, it’s going to be an iframe post editor. But if it’s not a block theme and. Or if there are blocks on the page that are on the old version, like the version 2, then it will not be iframed, but that is subject to change. It’s kind of. There’s a trial and error kind of process here to figure out what is the best way move forward. Because the first post blog post about that was actually published in June ‘21, so five years. And then there was another one in November 2025, and there was another one in February ‘26. So there is a lot of leeway or runway for agency developers and plugin developers to kind of update, but sooner or later there will be a push to make it final and then deal with the consequences. Yeah. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Anne McCarthy’s roadmap included two updates that we already know have been already punted. So that’s the update to React 19 and the deprecation of the classic block. Those things have been punted. And there are blog posts on the make blog for the reasons and next steps for that. It’s pretty much the classic blog where there was a lot of communication around it that said, okay, maybe it’s not a good time yet. And for the RAC 19 there were too many backwards compatibility issues, but it’s going to come. So it just needs a little bit more runway to get final to that point. All right. Any thoughts about that?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> Not really. I’m excited for 7.1. I think we haven’t mentioned the release time. Is that still planned for WordCamp US and like August 19th.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yes, the planning is July 15th being beta and then August 5th being release candidate and August 19th final release on the last day of WordCamp US.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> Okay, cool. I’m excited.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah, I’m excited too. There are nice features in there and there are nice updates to the site editor there and I’m very excited about that. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Gutenberg 23.4</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And now that brings us to Gutenberg 23.4. Let’s go and talk about things.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> So that was released June 17th. We’re also going to talk about the next release 23.5 right after. So let’s start with this one first. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So I think the most exciting things in there are related to media. And the first thing that is pretty exciting is if you load media into the post editor, you now get like a little notification snack bar that kind of tells you the progress of your uploads. Like if you load dump, just dump in like 20 images you’re going to see. And you also I think timed first image, second image, third image. We are used to it, I don’t know from apps and stuff. So I think that is really, really helpful to see the progress of the loading there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. And Adam Silverstein did an amazing job to get this all done. There’s a second one that also that the upload process is now enabled. So when it’s interrupted because you’re offline or something, it also resumes automatically the upload on the when the connection returns. So this would save quite a few hurry up and wait kind of thing. When you’re maybe on a train or in a country where you don’t have stable Internet connections to upload your media. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Right now, I only highlighted that because it’s in the same thing that the client side media processing is now geared towards 7.1. So the plugin’s only guardrail has been removed and it can be merged into WordPress.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Enhancements</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The next one is the playlist block. It now has a visualization style selector so it has the playlist lock. When you try and test it, you’ll see there is a visualization kind of where the music builds some animation on top of the track and you can select the styles now for that. And also it now has a track length setting so you can set up the settings for that as well.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> Another thing I kind of liked because I’ve built that before is if you have, I don’t know, on a WooCommerce theme or something, if you want to have the log out log in or for any other kind of purpose, you can now get that into an inner block of the navigation submenu. The lockout lock in. That wasn’t possible before. It’s a small thing but very helpful for whenever you want to have that in a drop down or sub menu.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. If you have a membership site or subscribers only content and you. You offer them a nice accessible way to log in and log out. There’s a very minimal change, but you might need. You will notice it. It’s the time to read icon has been renamed to time. So it’s not. Might be getting rid of redundancy, but I’m not sure it’s even clearer. It’s clear enough. So yeah, that’s the change.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> Yeah, I think that’s mainly kind of to reuse it, to be able to reuse it for more things. Right.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> Another thing that I think is a little bit bigger and quite helpful is that now it’s possible that columns and gallery blocks can be transformed into grid variations for layout styling. I think that’s kind of cool. I think I wanted to do that many, many times.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, me too. Because I forgot that I have a grid block and I tried to do things with the columns block.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> Yeah, yeah. So often you kind of start out in a column and then you realize no, that should be a grid.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> And then again for the media. But this time it’s out of the block editor. The media editing modal has changed and it has some new features, better features, new libraries. And we talked about it before on this podcast. But now you can reorder the details field has been reordered and then now you have aspect ratio controls for the mobile toolbar and they refactored a little bit the modal layout in total. But this is a great, great tool. So these are all just the usability issues. The main feature was already in 23.2 or 3 and there are editable attachment fields. And the mobile tool. The mobile toolbar has been updated to include the aspect ratio controls. Also uses the zoom uses now plus and minus buttons. Yeah. Instead of the spyglass.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> Oh yeah. That is actually very helpful an update on the dashboard. And you maybe have to help me out if I’m not 100% sure if I understand that correctly. So we always had the grid columns and now they are opinionated. So pre designed responsive. Is that correct if I say that like in your dashboard, like the two columns, I think it’s maximum four columns. It doesn’t go more than four and then it reduces like it nicely responsive by default, right?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. It goes from 960 desktop width, so four columns to two columns between a tablet kind of size, between if it’s smaller than 960 to 600 and if, if it’s smaller than 600 or 600 and smaller, it’s going to one column and has a mobile kind of view there. So it’s definitely responsive. But that’s the dashboard. It’s about the admin dashboard. It’s not in the block editor. So that grid has nothing to do with a grid block in the block editor. So we have a little issue there with using the same words for different things. But that’s because it’s all grid based. But it’s a good thing. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And contributors have an experiment on redesigning the dashboard and also let blocks going in there and all that. So it’s. It’s quite interesting to see that there are more additional features in there like this day before. Right. So if you’re in a block, you can. They’re figuring out how to put the previous day and previous years. So if you have a blog for 30 years or 10 years, you. You get. Or even five years. Yeah. You get a notification, what you published about this time of year, last year or something like that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> Yeah, I like that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> And that was actually kind of nice.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> It kind of embraces your blogging history.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, exactly.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> One actually kind of cool little change that I really like is in the site editor now. The admin color scheme, if you select another one, get translated into the site editor. So I know a lot of people always say, oh, you go into the site editor and it’s this black different looking user interface. And yeah it’s. Why is it so dark? So now it kind of adopts the color scheme you have selected. And I think this like part of bigger work going into kind of making the interfaces more be like one thing instead of.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. The unification of the admin interface is also a long time coming and I think that’s a, that’s a fantastic step. Yeah. To kind of just make it sure that if you have a green sidebar that it’s also green in the site editor.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> Yeah. Because why, why wouldn’t it be?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. So on the client media side again, the ultra HDR JPEGs that are detected by upload and then the originals are kept unmodified and the sizes subsizes. They preserve their ICO standards. So you have a better quality of the Ultra HD but it also handles the bigger sizes. So it’s a nice addition to the media upload feature that we talked about before.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">APIs</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> And then we also have an update on APIs. Oh, God. You have to help me with this one. I read it, but now I’m kind of like what was that about again? The future it will help.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: So it tracks per entity, the view configuration for pages. And then so it’s about the pages of pages, posts, patterns, template parts, templates and have their default layout in the grids being the, the layout grid in the admin. So when you’re in the site editor you have a choice when you look at templates, what kind of layout. You have a grid layout, a list layout and these kinds of things. And now there is actually an API that you can extract that view configuration for several other things. If you’re plugin developers, you can then replicate what the, what the priority is or what the preference is for your user. And you see that in the rest API when you pull out the information and display it again, that you get the configuration with it. I don’t know.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> So you can practically kind of unlock whatever the configuration was in default and then use that in a plugin or something, right?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Exactly. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> The same screen.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> So when you. One use case could be if you are using WordPress as your content container, but have another application that displays things as a headless or in another. In another admin content management system that only talks to WordPress with all and pulls out the things that are in WordPress and measures it up with other data that’s also in the system, then you are able to display the same what the user sees in the WordPress admin, you can display that also in your system at the same time. So that kind of would be one of the use cases that I just made up.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Ellen Bauer:</em> Yeah, that makes sense and very good to explain in that way. What else do we have next?</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Experiments</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> So the dashboard we talked about that now has also an events widget that can be filled. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Documentation</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I wanted to point out one documentation thing that is really a big deal that Juan Margarido has taken on in April or May and push that through a merge now with 23.4 and that is the auto generation of the per block API reference from the block JSON files. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, until now it was really hard to figure out, okay, what’s the block markup and are there all the supports in there? Because the documentation was handmade. So if somebody updated a block’s configuration and block JSON and added support to it for other things, it would not show in the documentation until someone touches the documentation page. And for 90 blocks or so that are in core right now, that’s a moving target and fast moving target. So he proposed to go in and auto generate that documentation page for humans and AI to map multiple things. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So one is the parent relationship with other blocks like think accordion block and the sub blocks there, the attributions in the table, in a table that what the block supports and with links to explain those features. So if you don’t know what the alignment or support of a block is, you can look it up right from there and then what block styles come with core so you don’t have to figure that out from the interface. So like the button comes with two styles, one is the default, the other one is the outline style. Then which CSS selectors are automatically created and then an example of the block markup. And last but not least, also the links to the source of the information and the package�se\�|"� l � � � ] �E� �

� ?� �se of WordPress 7.0, focusing on the features arriving with beta 2 and their impact on users and developers. They begin by emphasizing the importance of testing betas, especially for plugin and theme creators, highlighting how early testing helps prevent compatibility issues at launch. A walk-through of the beta testing process, tools like the beta tester plugin, and considerations for time zone differences during the official release (scheduled for April 9th) are discussed.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The majority of their conversation centers around the headline features of WordPress 7.0. Real-time collaboration steals the spotlight, now allowing multiple users to edit posts and pages simultaneously—streamlining workflows and minimizing version conflicts. The episode also celebrates the introduction of visual revisions within the block editor, making change tracking clearer and more intuitive. Other notable updates include responsive block visibility controls, enhanced navigation and submenu options, improved lightbox support for gallery blocks, and the long-awaited introduction of the icon and breadcrumbs blocks.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Birgit Pauli-Haack and Jessica Lyschik also discuss the new content-only pattern editing feature, revamped backend color schemes, and incremental improvements for both end-users and developers, such as the font library UI and under-the-hood advances. They note that some planned features, like the playlist and tabs blocks, did not make the cut for 7.0 but might arrive in future releases. The episode ends with practical advice: test your sites early and stay informed to ensure a seamless transition to WordPress 7.0.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> So welcome to our 127th episode of the Gutenberg Changelog podcast. In today’s episode, we will talk mostly about WordPress 7.0 because Beta 2 has been out and a little bit about Gutenberg 22.6, but most of what’s in that release is actually coming to WordPress 7.0. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’m your host, Birgit Pauli-Haack, curator at the Gutenberg Times and a full-time core contributor for the WordPress open source project, sponsored by Automattic. And today, Jessica Lyschik is with me on the show again, and we will tackle most of the WordPress 7.0 updates. Jessica is a core contributor to WordPress, default theme co-lead for Twenty Twenty-Four, speed building champion Twenty Twenty-Five, and works as a senior developer for Grade, a company building WordPress products for agencies and large companies. And Jessica is a regular host on the Grade Conversations to be found on YouTube. How are you today, Jessica? Welcome to the show again.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik:</em> Thanks for having me. I’m good. I’m good. I mean, the sun is shining outside, so I’m expecting hopefully a nice workday today and then catch some sun rays because it’s been a long winter here. Yeah, it’s been very cold, very moody, cloudy. So the sun is very nice. Having some sunshine is a very nice change.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, I was walking the streets of Munich the other day and I saw the little plants kind of coming out, crocuses and whites and yellow. So spring is coming.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik: </em>Definitely, definitely.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>And it’s— I actually saw a sunrise at 6:30 in the morning. So the days are getting longer too, which is part of my mood changing thing. Yeah. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What’s Released – WordPress 7.0</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So WordPress 7.0 comes in big steps and WordPress 7.0 Beta 2 was released just yesterday and we’re recording this on February 27th. So let’s go through the list of things that actually made it into 7.0. I’m also sharing in the show notes, not only the list, but also a link to the help test WordPress 7.0 that the test team has put together with some nice instructions and videos on how things are supposed to work. And you have to— can go in and test if they’re actually working like that or if something else is breaking. And you ask dear listeners to help do that. I also always kind of say, the best way to learn what’s in WordPress 7.0 is to heed to the call of testing, because that’s the first step to learn what’s working for you, what works with your sites and with your plugins. And it will be really helpful to know this before the release comes out. So if you just follow the instructions on how to present feedback and bug reports. Your team has started testing. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: When you have a plugin and you do not look at the Beta versions or release candidates and suddenly the release date rolls around and you’re not prepared and clients update their websites and then they say, hey, my site’s broken, then you’re in trouble. So avoid that as best as possible. That’s why I’m glad that we have Beta phase and release candidate phase so we can like really have a closer look. And it’s so easy with the Beta tester plugin. To be honest, that’s still the one way I’m using it, just installing the plugin. I configure the default configuration a little bit differently only to show me Beta and release candidates versions. And then it’s just hit update and go for it with whatever installation you have at the moment. So that’s actually, I find this to be one of the easiest ways without needing to have big technical knowledge about that. Of course there’s WP CLI, there’s many other ways you can achieve that, but for me, this is probably the easiest and can be thrown on any installation, local or online, probably not live sites, but any staging or testing environment that you have.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: So exactly. And it’s a good point. Don’t test this on a live site.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Yeah. Things can break. I mean, that’s why it’s called a Beta version or release candidate. Things are supposed to break. I spotted an issue this morning with something, not a big issue, but it is an issue. So we have to look into this, but we still have time. How long are we away? 6 weeks, I think about 6 weeks.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: So yeah, April 9th is the final release date. So we are a little bit 5 weeks more than 6 weeks.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: And it will be, I just saw the note, will be released during Contributor Day at WordCamp Asia. So some of the release squad members will be in Mumbai to hit the big button. But of course, it’s all remotely and you can do it from anywhere. So it doesn’t really matter where the release squad is. The only thing that might screw it a little bit, skew it, not screw it, skew it a little bit is the time difference between where the other release squad members are and the ones in Mumbai. But for Europe, it’s a 3.5-hour time difference. So it’s not that big of a deal. You just need to organize it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Yeah, usually they are fast in Europe, their releases are in the evening. So something around 7 PM, 8 PM sometime. It depends on when the dates are announced and the times. So it will be a bit earlier for us in the day, but still like afternoon-ish. So not in the middle of the night. So, but of course, if you move further to US time zones, like East Coast, West Coast is particularly early for them, I guess. If it’s fun, it could be like early morning for them.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah, could be in the middle of the night.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Oh no, no, we have to, we have to think backwards. It will be like, I don’t know, but is it like in the afternoon on the 9th? Do you know more details about that?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: I was looking for the release party. Post, but I haven’t seen it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: I mean, there’s an overview post somewhere.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. I remember that. Yeah. On the Make blog. Definitely. I’m just looking at it when the release party schedule is.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: I’ll see if, uh, there’s only a date so far on the, on the overview.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. Beta release was about 3 PM UTC. So that’s 4 o’clock in the afternoon in Europe. -9, that’s about 7 o’clock in the morning.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: It’s early morning. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: In Pacific time. Yeah. So about that time. Yeah. I’ll get a better look at that when we get closer to see when they actually schedule the release parties. But it’s always great fun to be in the core channel to kind of see it coming together.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. So that’s about the process. April 9th, we mentioned it, is the release. We have release candidate. So Beta is the feature freeze. So after that, only bug fixes are going to be merged into core. Release candidate 1 is on March 19th, and that is considered a string freeze. There will be release candidate 1, 2, and 3, and only things that are— don’t have a string. Well, the reason why they do string freeze is because then the translator can start translating the version or the new strings into their respective languages. And to give them about 3 weeks to 4 weeks is a good number. But when you don’t do string freeze, then they have to start all over again when the new version comes out.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: So many things change. I mean, things will change. Maybe there’s always the thing that a bug appears and maybe strings have to be changed. So there’s always some moving parts, but it is way much reduced if you would just, if you’re stopping to actually make massive changes so people can catch up with things and then when it’s just a few more strings that need to be adjusted or retranslated, then it’s not like 500 new strings, but only 5 the day before the release. So yeah, it makes total sense. I mean, it has worked great over the past many years that we’ve been doing this like that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Absolutely. Yeah. So now with all the talk about the release, what’s actually going to be in WordPress 7.0? And there have been quite a few. So there was a roadmap and then there were these tracking issues that are on the Gutenberg repo. So there is not a whole lot of mystery behind what’s coming, but we definitely should talk through that. And one of the biggest features is the real-time collaboration. So now the message that somebody else is editing your post will go away, or it will still be there, but you still can access the post and then you can see who else is working on the post. And you can have more than one person in the post or in the page to actually edit that and not get into trouble with losing content. So that’s a feature that has been a long time coming. And it’s also something that has been tested already in the enterprise section for, I think, a little over a year or half a year since August last year. So, and now it comes to WordPress core. So it’s really cool. I’ve, I like it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: I have not seen it in action yet because I mostly work on things where it’s only me and rarely anyone else, but I’ve seen the notes feature. This is like the kind of site quest, if you will, which has been already around since 6.9, if I remember correctly.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Right.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: But yeah, I’ve just opened the GitHub issue around it that is linked in the testing post. And it’s quite interesting. It will be interesting to see. I think we have to spin up a session with my colleagues and all go into one page and see what it looks like, how it feels li��c�{ZAe�� � �{�
� ?� �ke.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: So yeah, there are some avatar bubbles showing up on multiple places. Yeah, it’s kind of in the headline and also when they’re both there. And also if they’re the notes and the real-time collaboration are kind of merging now. So the same avatars that show up in the notes will also show up in the, in as where the cursor is. So it’s kind of really interesting to see. I think it’s not only for enterprise, it’s also for if you have a blog site, you probably also have a designer or a person that manages your media. You can all be in the post and kind of do things just right before publishing and you don’t have to coordinate, get out of the post, get into the post. What do we change? Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: It will save things. Even if you have a team of two, it’s still an interesting feature. And I’m really hoping as working on the WordPress developer blog that we kind of cut out the step where we do everything in Google Docs, do all the comments there. And then once everybody kind of has their word and say to move it and that we actually start creating the post in the blog and then just do the reviews from there. The only caveat is that to review and help, you have to be a member of the blog. You have to be an editor of the blog. But I think everybody who’s writing and reviewing either will be on the blog or will in the future or already has written a blog post. So they should be able to do it. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Right now it’s only me doing it. Yeah, I publish in January and in February a post and it’s only me doing it. But it’s interesting to do this via notes. Yeah, because you get emails and all of that. Yeah, already. So it’s a good feature. The real-time collaboration, I haven’t done anything on that yet because it just came out. Yeah. So it’s not yet implemented. Anything else about real-time collaboration? Oh yeah. At the moment, and that’s with Beta 2, it’s a setting that you can opt into. So you have to go to settings. Writing, and I think the fourth from the top is the enable collaborative editing or real-time collaboration. Otherwise it wouldn’t work. I think for later versions it will be an opt-out, but it will be on the same space.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Where do you put this? I’ve just opened up the preferences. I have a test site which I spin this one up.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: But you go to the admin settings, the normal settings for writing.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Ah, the normal setting. Okay. I was in the editor, so that’s probably why I’m not seeing it there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. It’s not in the preferences. It’s in the admin dashboard and then settings and then writing.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Writing. Yeah. Oh yeah. There it is. Enable real-time collaboration. Let’s just try this out, how it looks like.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: I mean, I’m curious to see.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: You don’t see it when, when you are alone, all alone.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Well, I could create a second user and then just—</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah, and switch over in the second browser.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Switch over in another browser or another incognito tab.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: I think it could be in a different browser window. I tested it with Firefox and Google just to kind of not get into the way of each other.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Yeah, you need a different browser tab in the same browser. It’s not going to work because then you’re logged in with the same user, so you need to be logged in with two different users in order to make that happen.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: So it’s either an incognito window in the same browser or a different browser.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>Basically, you log in as admin, but you can switch the user over. There’s a user switching plugin. That’s what I’m using by John Blackburn. He has a very easy user switching plugin, and I’ll share the plugin link in the show notes. But then you can switch over to a different user. And then because I uploaded two avatars, so I can see the difference and all that. In the same note, another big feature, it’s not a new feature, but it’s a total revamp, is the visual revisions.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Oh yeah. Yeah. This is a big change. I’ve, I’ve tested this out before we started because I was really curious to see and Yeah, this is no more text walls and complicated HTML tags to understand and everything like before. I mean, I think the old one does have an advantage for like someone like me who’s used to looking at code all day and I can get my way around it. But I guess for many people who are not this, do not have an eye for this, this is like a massive wall of text and some green and some red stuff flying around somewhere. So I found it a very interesting way to create the revisions, to visualize the changes. I mean, I only made minimal changes to a page, like adding a paragraph, removing, removing a sentence and whatnot. But yeah, it’s actually kind of interesting.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: So one of the major features is it’s in the editor. You don’t have to switch screens to see your revisions. That’s also a plus. It knows what blocks are. So every change is filled in red and green. Red when you remove something, green when you add something. And it has a little banner on the right-hand side to outline.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: To indicate where on the page about where. I mean, I only had a short page, so it wasn’t that big of a deal, but it kind of, I think it really showed where it was. Like if there’s a specific paragraph you’re looking at, then let me just open up this.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah, it’s really nice. Ella did a fabulous job on that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: And there’s also not just red and green, but there’s also yellow if something inside a paragraph changes that is not like completely adding or I think I know for this one, I added something inside an existing block. So the block itself is outlined in yellow. Hey, something changed here. And then the part where I added the words that is highlighted in green. So it’s like also kind of detailed and not just red and green like before, but you have also yellow, which indicates some sort of change, maybe with either an additional removal.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. Yeah. It’s really nice. It’s very visual and staying in the block editor is such a relief. You don’t have to go back and forth and you have on the top of the screen. You also have the different versions of things. So you can, it’s a slider with the dates attached. So you can kind of, and the publish button changes to a restore button. So you can select the version that you wanna restore here.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: And you can also exit there. So it’s like you do not have the editing ability anymore. So the entire editing ability is stripped from that page. And instead you have either restore or exit. So I think this makes it distraction-free. So it’s also good because then people will not start editing inside that. It’s just a visual representation of things that have changed.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Exactly. Yeah. Good. And then do you want to take the next feature or?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: I have not. I have seen this. So I was curious to see because I saw something else down in the Gutenberg 22.6 Release notes, if you will. But I saw that when you’re trying to hide any block, you can now hide them specifically either on desktop, tablet, or mobile. So it’s not just on or off, but you can now, in WordPress core without any extra plugins, say this either show only on desktop, show only on tablet, show only on mobile. The little downside here is that if I’m not mistaken, you can still not change the ranges of the viewports. You can?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: No, no, that’s still hard-coded. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Exactly. So you’re still tied to the default states of what is desktop, what is tablet, what is mobile. So that is the little downside, if I say so, because oftentimes, at least in my experience, people want to really hone in. I want mobile to go to up until this specific size and tablet to be in this range. And they often differ from what WordPress offers by default. So that’s why many plugins have been popular in the past and many different integrations are there. So I think it’s important to mention that it does work. I guess it does work because otherwise it wouldn’t be in the Beta version, but it is restricted to what core says about the viewports.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: So yeah, yeah. And it’s a, it’s a range. It’s mobile starts at 480 and desktop starts at 768 and in between is the tablet. So I have found that I cannot make my browser window small enough to see the mobile version, but that’s, I think, a setting on my desktop. I’m not quite sure, but if you use the developer tools, you can see it or the previews, of course. Yeah, the preview inside the block editor will show you yes or no. With 20.6, they also added a feature for the list view where you see the eye for visible or invisible. It also has a little tooltip saying, okay, it’s visible on desktop or it’s visible on mobile and hidden on tablet and these kind of things. So there’s a little bit more visual support for figuring out why is that block not working. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Yeah, that’s true. Yeah, it seems to work pretty well. So I just played around with it and put a paragraph to hide on desktop. It does no longer show at desktop, but once I make the browser smaller, it appears again. So seems to be working pretty well.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. Yeah, the next feature is, well, it’s kind of a set of features for the navigation block. That has been coming in. There are a few things that are making navigation easier. One is that you now have control for your hamburger menus, your mobile hamburger menus, or if you want them on desktop too. Yeah. So you can now create different overlays for your navigation. And 7.0 will come with a few patterns. So you don’t have to do the whole creative work. You can just kind of say, okay, I will use this one and this one. It’s on the basis of template parts, so it can be reused on other places and templates if you have different overlays. And so I really like that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Yeah, it gives more customization that wasn’t there before because you just only had a mobile version of the navigation you created. And I know from our experience at Grade that people like to switch up things in this mobile view because they want to add a button or add information or whatever, or change the menu items by default to have less menu items than they would have on desktop. So this was only possible with other tools, and now it’s in core as well. I also played around with it a bit, just adding random blocks to it. So it’s not just limited to specifically a navigation, but can add anything you need into that because it’s a template part, as you said.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: So yeah, right.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: So it actually is then also possible to create mega menus, which is also something that a lot of people wanted to do with those template parts.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Well, I haven’t played with, played it that far so far. I haven’t looked at the settings in detail, but. I guess I have to test this out.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. Well, there are a lot of people who are going to be testing things and I wish they would share a little bit more about their successes or, well, they never really talk about their successes, mostly about, oh, this is a bug that needs to change kind of thing. But it would be really cool to see some other implementations. Yeah. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They also revamped the submenus a little bit with handling that. So it now defaults to open or closed states, and you have a place to put the close button for that. Yeah, the patterns we talked— the overlay patterns is kind of with a black background, with an orange background, with a side info as well. So it’s pretty cool. Oh yeah, and what also changed in the navigation is that you can now— well, you always could add new pages when you create a navigation bar, create a new page, but now you can, you have a toggle switch that you can actually publish it. So the create a page is then available in your pages, but the menu works. And they did also a fantastic job making the links in the menu a little bit more smart. Yeah. So when you change the title or the slug of a page, it now reflects in the menu where it’s actually used. So that is, was also a big big pain point that you always had to think about, oh, I changed the slug of my page or my post. Now I need to update two menu items because I have a header, a footer, a header menu and a footer menu. And yeah, it’s all kind of a, it was a little bit.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Or another five menus in different places that you all need to update and you forgot about them. So yeah, that’s actually very nice. I just opened up also the, when you have a navigation block focused and go select one of the pages that is in there. It now shows a little, I’m not sure how long this has been there, but there’s a box popping out saying the title of the link and then it links to this specific page, which is a page. So the post type is shown and also what status it has. So it is published, is it draft or whatever. So there’s, I think if I click on that, yeah, I can now go directly into editing and I can go back. Oh, this is fancy.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. Yeah. That’s also fairly new. I think it was in 22. So it’s between 6.9 and 7.0. It’s a new feature. It’s a new feature.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Yeah. I think this will definitely enhance the whole working with navigation, with navigation in general, because to be honest, it has been a pain to work with navigation. So I’m glad to see some improvements here. They’re lookinAe���{���W � �{�
� ?� �g really good. Oh, you can even add more stuff, description and real attribute. Nice. That’s looking good. I like that. I honestly like that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Awesome. Very good, Birgit. What’s next on the list?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Next on the list is gallery block add lightbox support.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Ooh, that’s my personal favorite. Yeah. Well, lightbox support was there before, right?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: I was just saying that the lightbox has been around for a while. But yeah, not only for images, right? Not for the gallery.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: It was for the gallery, but it only added the click to open big. It wasn’t a real lightbox. It kind of— you needed to close it and then look at the next picture and open it up again. And now you actually have navigation with next and previous, so you could actually have a really nice gallery viewing experience. And I was waiting for this for quite a while. Not that I didn’t find any plugins that do that, but yeah, to have it in the browser.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: I think that’s a very nice feature because it reduces the need for a plugin if the functionality is enough for the user. I mean, there will always be plugins that enhance this functionality or create another variation of a lightbox with even more features. There’s always like that, but it’s, it’s good to have that because it’s just, I’ve never really worked so much with galleries in the past, but probably I will do more because now you can continue switching to the other images without even having to close that. So I think that’s really a good quality of life improvement.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. Those sites that have big visual assets on there, like pictures and they have portfolios or they want to show a decoration or be it food. Yeah. Each one of the sites. And what I like about it is also that you can swipe it on mobile. You don’t need to—</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Oh, nice.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: It’s not animated, but it’s definitely there. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So the thing that moved to the next version in WordPress is showing the captions somewhere on that. Yeah. Right now it’s just a picture and the navigation, but that’s a huge step forward. What also is new for the gallery block and many blocks is that the sidebar where the settings and the styles are now also have a content tab where you can see, for instance, all the pictures in a list and then just open it up and add an alt text to it, for instance. So you can have an easier way to update the content of things. You’ll see that also on other blocks that are kind of multi-blocks, like the social icons or the buttons or the list, that you get now a little content section on the right-hand side. And you don’t have to, for that, open up the list view. It’s a little bit of duplication, but I think it’s a different mindset when you just want to edit that particular group of blocks and see it in one view.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Yeah, but you can, I just created a gallery on my test site and picked some of the pictures. And when you are in this content section and you click on an image, you are put to the specific image block within the gallery. So I don’t think this is too much of a crazy thing. Yeah, you are right about the duplication that if you are on the gallery block itself, you can add something. That’s probably easier on the right side now to add something. But you also get the context options that you would have in the list view. So this is the duplicated part. But to be honest, I mean, I work a lot with the list view. I always— the first thing I do when I come into a brand new editor is go to preferences and say, list view, always show list view. Because I still don’t get why this is not the default. But yeah, for people who may be not using the list view too much, I think this is a pretty nice way to work with the gallery block. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: And there are also people who are overwhelmed by the list view. Yeah. So kind of, they don’t.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Yeah, I can understand. But yeah, I’m a big fan of the list view.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: So yeah, there will be two new blocks. There’s a breadcrumbs block and the icon block. And the icon block just made it out of experimental with 22.6. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: I think this was a very close call, right? I just saw Ryan’s post the other day. It’s like, we made it. And I was like, oh, that’s close. Isn’t Beta 1 already out yet?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah, no, it was, uh, actually in Beta, but the discussion was about— not about the icon block per se, but it only has limited functionality. When you— for a designer, you cannot register your own icon collection.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: That would have been my question. Yes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: And that has been the API that was too close to be comfortable in creating a new API at the last minute, so to speak. And they said that needs to be similar for a moment. And that was pushed in 7.1, but you still can use the icons that are in the block editor already.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: It mostly, it will be arrows or the chevrons or maybe something like pencil or image or home. Yeah. The default ones are there. So it’s, I would say for, for the, for the beginning, it’s fine. And I think for the extensibility, it’s definitely needed that we have an API to add any kind of icon that we want or that the user needs because people work with the most different things. I think the same, we had the same thing with the social icons block, if I remember correctly, like you had a fixed set, but then later on. It was added the ability that you can upload your own icons, if I’m correct.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: So I would very much look forward to potentially in 7.1 that we get the ability to extend this icon library to whatever icons we need, have an upload.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. Yeah. I think designers really work, love working with icons and when they design sites, it would be really helpful to actually have the branded icons, whatever they have to be uploaded. But yeah, in the release post of 22.6, Bernie Reiter, who was a release lead, he uploaded an implementation which makes perfect sense, which is the location for a map, kind of, yeah, what’s the address, what’s the link for Google Maps, and what are the ratings, so to speak. And you can all do that with the icon set that’s already in the block editor. It was worth it, even with not registering the API, to put that into a core. And it’s still helpful.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: I mean, the icon block has been long awaited, so it was about time.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. And the other block is the breadcrumbs block, which I’m really happy that it made it because that’s a very versatile block. It has a lot of smartness behind it where you can put it on any page and then it figures out what are the breadcrumbs to get to that page and also to get back again. So you could do categories, archives, subpages, parent pages, child pages. It’s all picking up those things. And it’s a really nice addition for larger websites to have a user find their way back or orient themselves on the website.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Yeah, I think there’s also enough settings to work with it. So it’s looking good. I just added it to my test page. You have all the color, typography, dimensions, border. So there’s, there’s something to do with it. I would say.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah, you can definitely work with that. So then the existing blocks obviously also get some improvements. Do you have any favorite of those? I do. So the paragraph has two new things. One is the indentation. So you can make a paragraph or on a page manage the indentation of the first line in a paragraph. There are two versions of it that you need to handle in the settings page. One is to have the first paragraph not indented, but all the subsequent paragraphs. And then if you toggle that off, then also the first paragraph is indented. And that is that it’s in the English-speaking countries, the first paragraph is not indented. But in the right-to-left and other countries, even if they are left-to-right, they always want all the paragraphs indented. So it’s a different standard for publications in different countries. So they needed to take care of that. But the default is to have the first paragraph not indented and all the subsequent paragraphs are.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Interesting.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: It’s like I usually do not come around that the need for this. But obviously if there’s a need for it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. A lot of publications have that as standard, especially those that are in the news and long-form content publications like essays and that kind of thing.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Apparently I do not read those, so I do not have any experience with that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Or you just haven’t noticed it because it feels natural.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: But probably, yeah, yeah, I maybe, maybe that’s also the case. I don’t know. Yeah, but it’s interesting to see that. I was wondering, didn’t we have something like this before, or was it something else, or I’m mixing this up with something? I don’t know.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. And the second formatting part for paragraph block is that automatic text columns. So you can have a larger paragraph and say, okay, but I need this into a smaller space, but I have multiple columns. And that also works very well. That was actually a plugin from the Block Editor Learn program. There was one course that actually created that kind of columns. So I’m glad that it made it to core because I really found it nice to have that possible. It automatically creates those columns. You can say 2 columns or 3 columns, and it’s really nice. You need to enable it through the typography, the 3-dot menu. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: I was just about to say, I’m not seeing the setting. Where is it? Ah, here it is. Columns.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah, yeah, columns. And also the indentation. And that’s also where you’ll find the fit the text into that. So there are typography changes, but right now only, I think, available for the paragraph block.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Yeah, it made sense to have moved to the tools panel to get a bit more in the technical side, because if I’m looking now at the typography settings that are available, but this list is like endless. Yeah, it’s getting endless. So having this to be hidden by default and you can, if you need the to change something, you edit. That’s something, yeah, definitely to not clutter the sidebar too much.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: So yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Yeah. Yeah. It’s a good call to always look at the three dots in the menu to see, okay, what other options do I have available there? Because they may not be visible just, and you look stupid like I did to find the columns.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: You look not that stupid.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Yeah, it’s just like, well, why, why I’m not seeing this? Where is this? Is this a setting somewhere? It’s like panicking on the inside on the podcast. I know it’s, it’s like day-to-day business.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: So yeah, I’m all good. So what else is in the current block? There are so many things in there. So the font library has now its own menu item in the appearance menu. Yeah. Nothing else.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: So it’s available for any themes if I recall correctly.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: So it’s not—</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: you can now do all the stuff. Yeah, it’s exactly the same like the modal. You just have it like as in the regular backend, basically. It’s been like extracted from the editor to be its own backend page.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: But it’s in the new style. I just realized that when switching between the default themes, we have the overview to switch the themes. It’s like still the we did get a little change in the backend. Maybe we can talk about that later. But when you are on themes, you have still this dark, not dark, but lighter gray, very light gray background. And it’s no rounded corners. And when you go into fonts, you have this more site editor-like white background and rounded corners around. I just realized that there’s this kind of difference.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah, I think that the team really wanted to do the data views. Use components from the data views for these new pages. And it will also be, and I just saw that for the Beta 2, that the connector for the AI client, that the connector page is under Settings. Yep. And the page also follows that data view.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Correct.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Design from what’s actually going to be the new admin design that’s not coming to 7.0, but some of the pages are, look a little bit different yet. Now.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: I just see, I just see these small details like instantly. So I was like, oh, this looks different.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. Yeah. It looks a little bit fresher. It’s my personal view on that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: And I, I think the most visual change everyone will have is when they log in. So, or when they upgrade to 7.0 and they have not seen the Beta or release candidate that suddenly the default color scheme changes. In the backend. So I think this will be a bit of a woo moment for everyone who is not like looking into this before. So ��W �{���\ � �{�
� ?� �if I guess it’s a shout out to everyone who’s working with clients who do not see a Beta version before, be prepared because I’m sure there will be questions coming in from everyone like, my admin looks different. What happened?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah, the buttons all have a different color. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Yeah, the, the, I think the black is a bit darker if I remember correctly. And of course the blue shines very differently. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: So, but the color scheme was available before. It’s called the modern.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Yes, correctly.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. So it’s now just the default. I don’t think we have materialized any writing about that. So I kind of need to look at the core changes. Right now I’m just looking at the block changes, but yeah. Oh, and one thing that we should mention is the content-only pattern editing that’s now coming with 7.0. And that is a way, if you have a pattern that you put into a post or a page, that the edit the pattern is kind of reduced to edit the content of it. So you don’t have to change the pattern. Yeah. And I think that’s reducing a little bit the overwhelm. And the danger that people get into when they just use pattern, that they are kind of, you still can edit them, throw out the image and put a different block in there. You always can, you can change the headline, paragraph, whatever the pattern is designating as content only. Blocks, patterns, headlines, paragraphs, lists, buttons, those can all be just added, just change the content of it. But there is an edit button on the right edit pattern, and it’s for unsynced patterns as well as for sync patterns. The sync patterns has a different workflow when you change the original. That was always in there, but now this is coming to the unsynced patterns as well. When there are multiple patterns in multiple blocks in a pattern. So they’re kind of designated a section and then you can reduce the trouble a content editor can get themselves into.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: I see. I see. Yeah, it certainly looks different. Yeah, you have different buttons. But yeah, you cannot go into like— yeah, you can like make it bold or italic or any of the work with the text. But yeah, you cannot say I want the button color to change. Is this the default for all patterns? As you said, it’s like I’ve now just added a regular pattern. And it’s not synced. So I assume it’s not synced.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Let me check.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: I think so. Interesting. So when I go to edit pattern, oh, I now have to go to edit pattern in the toolbar. In the sidebar. I have now edit pattern.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: No, no, in the block toolbar.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: That’s the block toolbar. You can say edit pattern and then you get all the controls for each block to move them, delete them, whatever. And then you can go back and then you have, when you are in the pattern, you have only the editing ability as you described. So you can, cannot change the blocks itself, but you can like change the contents. I can change the image and set an alternative text, but I cannot say, give it a different aspect ratio or use a different image size or whatever.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Or make the paragraph a list or something like that. There, those decisions.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: So this is actually very good to know because I just stumbled upon that and, ooh, this will be why I wanted to do this. This will be interesting because that’s like, that’s a huge change. I can see the struggle people will have who are not aware of this to get into the editor. They have added a pattern, simply a pattern, and now they want to change the heading. For example, and now on 7.0, they’re like, the possibility to change the heading is gone. And they do not realize that they have to click on the edit pattern block first in order to change the heading level, for example. So I think this could be from the user experience part.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah, a little bit of a stumble block. Yeah, absolutely. The dev note, and I see, I saw the draft of this dev note for that. There’s also a way for site admins to opt out of content-only. That especially if you are working with clients or you’re creating themes, you probably want to, because you want to edit the pattern all the time. You can opt out of it with a filter. And both are available for PHP as well as for JavaScript. And as a plugin developer or theme developer, you can designate patterns as content-only. And with an attribute in the pattern. Block thing. Those who create custom blocks, they can also designate in the block JSON which attributes are content only. You give it a role equals content in the block JSON. So there are multiple ways to kind of skin that cat, as they say in America. So for the end user, I think the advantage is that there is no ambiguity if I change that. Is that getting me into trouble or something like that? Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Yeah. Yeah. From that point of view, I’m coming from a different point of view where the user is used to working with that and suddenly they cannot on the first glance, they cannot edit stuff anymore. Like they cannot change the heading level or font, font size, font, font family, whatever. So I think from that perspective, this will be a bit of a struggle.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: So yeah. But I think the edit pattern button is prominent enough in the sidebar. But yeah, we’ll kind of need to see what the verdict is about that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Yeah, yeah, true, true. So this will be an interesting thing to catch on, especially if you’re a heavy pattern user. This will be very interesting.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah, I think the—</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik: </em>I mean, I do see, I do see, don’t get me wrong, I do see the point in like having this content only. I mean, we have something very similar in our Grid plugin. Where you can lock down, like you have the structure, but you can only edit the content. It’s very, very similar. So there is the need for this. It’s just like coming when you are already working with WordPress and then you’re coming to this. That is the issue that I’m seeing. So, but for real, for real, the, yeah, for real, the, this reduction of overwhelm to, oh my God, I have so many options, but the pattern is there, but you cannot break it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Mm-hmm.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Uh, totally. That’s totally a cool thing.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. And I get your point, but what is it? It’s a 30-second, oh, I need to click on edit pattern. Uh, kind of reveal of that. Yeah. It’s not a kind of totally, oh, I, I get your point.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Well, if, if you are lucky, if you are lucky and the people see it and have the, I do not want to sound, uh, too, too negative about it, but if they have the curiosity to like explore. To do like, okay, what happens if I click on edit pattern? But you also have those people like who are like literally overwhelmed already by this and then go to whatever support people you have, whether it’s a plugin, a specific plugin is, I do see an increase of people coming into our support, for example, and saying, hey, things are not working anymore because of, I don’t know what’s happening here.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: So, yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. So I get that, especially because people just go into the website to get something done. And if they are overwhelmed with all the changes, it’s kind of a certain whoops.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: I didn’t expect that to change on me forever. Yeah. I totally get it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: If they just want to add a text, they will probably not notice or maybe realize, okay, something is different. But as soon as they want to change anything that is related to the blog, I think then it’s when it’s going to be—</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: just to the design. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah, exactly.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: So I think the last thing that we talk about a little bit here is what did not make it into the 7.0. That was on the roadmap. And that was the playlist block didn’t finish in time. The dialog block, which I really like. The dialog block is something that you get a button or a link and then you can control what dialog comes up for that. And the tabs block that I’m really sad about that it did not make it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Do you know what happened to like why the decision was made to not bring it in?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: They have some, there was an aspect of the active tab state in a non-standard way. There were some accessibility issues that they kind of wanted to revisit.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Oh yeah. Tell me about it. Tell me about it. I made the Tabs plugin, the great plugin accessible. So it’s possible. So, but yeah, I get that this may be the reason why it has been cut out.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: I think there were too many people, too many cooks in the kitchen for that with different changes. So I think they need to be finalized as well. And then the playlist block. I’m really sad about that, but we will see. And then some of the notes features that were thought about didn’t make it either. There were a few things that haven’t been worked on that were in the roadmap, were kind of, kind of was aspirational, but it wasn’t really prioritized. So like there were short blocks. A lot of people would like to see that. That’s like block binding, but inside the paragraph. So you can change dynamic data in a paragraph and just in, in a certain way. It could be a date or could be a change like the time zone change, yeah, depending on something. Or data from the meta fields, custom fields that are just in the flow text kind of, you want to put them in. I know that people work on that. Slider block was not worked on and some of the media things. Didn’t make it either. So are you excited about WordPress 7.0? </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: I mean, there’s a lot of very interesting changes and I mean, just because something didn’t make it, I think there’s a lot that made it that is already giving an impact. We haven’t even touched the AI part. So I think this is also something that is really coming. And even that in itself is probably enough to make another episode about if you want to. Yeah. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But overall, I think there’s some good quality of life improvements. I mean, real-time collaboration is something that everyone has to look for themselves if it’s useful. I can see it useful, of course, in like Google Docs style if you need to collaborate really on something, but also in support essentially to like, okay, let me get into the same page and show me on a video call what are you doing, or without even being on a video call, without screen sharing, to see what the other person is doing essentially. I’m not sure if I think you can only see the editing sort of things, but overall to see, okay, I do this, I do that, and then this happens. I don’t know. This could maybe be a thing. Maybe we get the icon block, long, long awaited. We do have some more responsive hiding features, if you will. It’s, how to say, rudimentary, but it’s like, it works. So if you’re fine with that, then you’re good. Font library available to everyone. I think that’s not bad either. So yeah, I think overall this will be an interesting, an interesting release to have available.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: And I mean, there’s always work to do, so we’re not running out of work. You know, no, even if, uh, with the help of AI, I think the work is always going to be there. So for the developers amongst us, I think you want to look at the PHP-only registration for blocks. Also, some of the data view package changes for your own plugin might be very interesting for you. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Gutenberg 22.5 RC</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Also, the client-side media improvements, they are there, but it’s not visible to anybody. It’s just kind of that the browser is now doing all the changes to the image, the downsizing for smaller aspect ratios or sizes. Yeah, it is done in the browser and doesn’t have to go to server and back. But that’s all relatively invisible to a normal user. True. I would come to an end here. We are almost at the hour and it was so much stuff to talk about. So is there anything, Jessica, that you want our listeners to know and you didn’t get a chance to talk about?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Not really. Go testing, I would say. Make sure if you have a product like us, make sure things work so you do not get in too much trouble. There will always be people coming to you saying, hey, something does not work. I mean, we do have that too. It’s like, then it’s just simply helping people with WordPress that is not related to the product itself. But yeah, overall, just make sure things work because like there are some changes happening. We also didn’t touch too much on the iframe editor situation in our chat. So I think this is something you should look into. I think there has been a new post by Ella this week with some more information. So yeah, for the developers of us, take a look at that because I think that maybe can potentially cause issues.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: It shouldn’t, but yeah. And I’m kind of hard to think about a scenario how we could test this with older plugins because I don’t see sites that are in with maintenance with a developer, so they probably won’t have a problem. They’re already kind of up there because the Gutenberg plugin has always already been updated with the iframe. So, I’m looking at people who haven’t updated their site for 5 years or something like that with the old blocks version in there. And all of a sudden they come back, but they, the front end won’t change. So they wouldn’t see it unless they go in, in the��\�{Ց��k � �|
� ?� � editor. And I have not seen yet something that fails. So that’s why it’s now in the Gutenberg plugin. That the post editor is loaded in the iframe.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Yeah, it will not be enforced in 7.0, but on the horizon we already see, okay, if it’s now in Gutenberg 22.6, potentially we will have to deal with it in 7.1. So this summer around that time. Yeah, I think that’s, that’s something important to, to just have in the back of your mind that if you have a product or if you have not just a product, but also like, like you said, created custom blocks for a client for specific websites. And there is like either no maintenance or very low maintenance contract, then you need to be aware that things can change, will change. And we had these discussions in the past. I have to say that there are people who were very frustrated that things have changed in the editor and made actually their frontend go sideways and not too bad, but like, okay, wasn’t looking as it was before. So I can totally understand that frustration, but, I mean, it’s software. It’s a moving project. It’s never going to be this forever unless you lock in the default WordPress version and only receive security updates, then well, okay, you can deal with that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: But yeah. Yeah. But I don’t think that this block iframe or block editor iframe thing for post edits, this is really a major change or breaking change. That, yeah, it, I don’t think that most WordPress users would even know that that happened or haven’t even noticed that it’s already happening. So for those who do client-side that are a little older, yeah, keep an eye out and let us know or let the contributors know if it’s breaking, what is breaking, so it can be dealt with for the next iteration on it. All right. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And I also share in the show notes, the latest conversations that Grade and Jessica had with two agency owners about the block editor and FSE. I think that’s pretty insightful.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Jessica Lyschik</em>: Oh, that was with the Codable Experts. Yeah, it was not the agency owners, but the Codable Experts.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. Yeah. Codable is an agency that matches up projects with freelancers and they have a very strict screening method for the freelancers. So they are real experts and they know what they’re doing and so, thank you for telling me that. Anyway, so I will share that. So if anybody who wants to listen some more, it’s on YouTube and it was Jessica. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, and as always, the show notes will be published on <a href="http://gutenbergtimes.com/podcast">gutenbergtimes.com/podcast</a>. This is episode 127. And if you have questions and suggestions or news you want us to include, send them to <a href="mailto:changelog@gutenbergtimes.com">changelog@gutenbergtimes.com</a>. That’s <a href="mailto:changelog@gutenbergtimes.com">changelog@gutenbergtimes.com</a>.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress <strong><a href="https://wordpress.org/news/2026/02/wordpress-7-0-beta-2/">7.0 Beta2</a> </strong>is now available for testing. How? Glad you asked. The Test team has compiled a great list in their post <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/test/2026/02/20/help-test-wordpress-7-0/"><strong>Help Test WordPress 7.0</strong></a>.

If they’re all Block API version 3 or higher, you get the iframe — if not, it steps back gracefully. Full enforcement isn’t happening in 7.0, but <em>Gutenberg plugin 22.6</em> enforces it for classic themes to gather real-world feedback first.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Tom Finley</strong> introduces <a href="https://tomfinley.com/stop-rebuilding-wordpress-block-patterns-from-scratch-use-block-zapper/"><strong>Block Zapper</strong></a>, a utility block that strips custom colors, spacing, typography, and backgrounds from WordPress block patterns in one click — so you can actually use them as clean starting points. You get granular control: preserve images and cover backgrounds while clearing everything else. Finley’s one important warning: it’s largely vibe-coded with AI assistance, so sandbox it thoroughly before touching any real project, and move your zapped blocks out before leaving the editor.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This seems to be inline with the <strong>Content Only Pattern editing experience</strong>, core contributors also try to achieve abstracting away the design aspects of working with patterns for content creators.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In his post on The Repository, <strong><a href="https://www.therepository.email/wordpress-faces-an-event-horizon-not-a-sunset">WordPress Faces an Event Horizon, Not a Sunset</a></strong>, <strong>Matt Cromwell</strong>, founder of Roots & Fruits, pushes back on the “WordPress is dying” narrative, reframing what looks like decline as an event horizon — a boundary where old rules break and new, denser ones form. AI, he argues, actually favors WordPress’s open, structured architecture. Flat plugin sales signal market maturity, not collapse. Educational pipelines are creating new builders. The real question isn’t whether WordPress survives, but whether its community will design for the physics ahead.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="the-specificity-cascade">The specificity cascade</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Before diving in, it helps to understand WordPress’s style hierarchy for block themes. Styles resolve in this order, with later layers overriding earlier ones on four levels.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Default </strong>mostly the styling and layouts of WordPress Core.</li>
<li><strong>Block-level</strong> styling can be altered with plugins and overwrites the Default styling.</li>
<li><strong>Theme-level </strong>styling is the whole suite of design tools controlled by the active Theme. It overwrites Default and block-level styles and layouts for instance (e.g. template and template parts).</li>
<li><strong>User-level</strong> styling uses the Design tools within the Site Editor to modify styles and layouts. These changes are stored in the database and overwrite the theme-level styling.</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Within each layer, more specific targets (per block, per element) override more general ones. This cascade is central to how all the methods below interact.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="1-theme-json-structured-style-properties">1. theme.json — structured style properties</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Who:</strong> Theme developers, child theme authors<br /><strong>Where:</strong> <code>theme.json</code> (root of your theme) → <code>styles</code> section</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is the <strong>recommended first choice</strong> for styling in block themes. Rather than writing raw CSS, you define styles as structured JSON properties — colors, typography, spacing, borders, shadows, and more — at the global, element, or per-block level.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can use hardcoded values directly in <code>styles</code>, and they work just fine:</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As your theme grows, hardcoded values become harder to manage. If you decide to change your primary color, you’d need to find and update every instance of <code>#0073aa</code> across styles. A more maintainable approach is to define your values as presets in the <code>settings</code> part of theme.json and then reference them in <code>styles</code> using the <code>var:preset||</code> syntax. WordPress converts these presets into CSS custom properties (e.g., <code>--wp--preset--color--primary</code>), keeping everything connected:</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This token-based approach pays off in a few ways. When a user changes “Primary” in the Global Styles UI, every element referencing that token updates automatically. It keeps your theme internally consistent — no risk of one button being <code>#0073aa</code> while another drifted to <code>#0074ab</code>. And it makes global style variations far simpler to create: a dark mode variation only needs to redefine the palette, not hunt down every color reference in styles. Either approach is valid, but tokens tend to save time as a theme matures.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Advantages:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Automatic integration with the Global Styles UI:</strong> Users can view and override your styles in the Site Editor without writing CSS.</li>
<li><strong>WordPress manages specificity for you:</strong> the “base → theme → user” cascade works correctly.</li>
<li><strong>Generates CSS custom properties automatically</strong> (e.g. <code>--wp--preset--color--primary</code>).</li>
<li><strong>Visual parity</strong> between editor and front end.</li>
<li><strong>Machine-readable: </strong>other tools and plugins can consume and extend these styles.</li>
<li><strong>Reduces the amount of CSS</strong> enqueued overall.</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Limitations:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Can only express what <a href="https://schemas.wp.org/trunk/theme.json.">theme.json’s schema</a> supports (growing with each release, but not yet comprehensive).</li>
<li>Pseudo-classes like <code>:hover</code>, <code>:focus</code>, <code>:active</code>, and <code>:visited</code> are supported for elements such as links and buttons (e.g., <code>"elements": { "link": { ":hover": { "color": { "text": "var:preset|color|contrast" } } } }</code>), but pseudo-elements like <code>::before</code> and <code>::after</code>, media queries, and more complex selectors are not available in the structured properties — use the <code>css</code> property (#2) or block stylesheets (#3) for those.</li>

They were now moving steadily down the river, passing the dark shapes of ships at anchor, and London was a swarm of lights with a pale yellow canopy drooping above it.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress auto-generates the selector for per-block CSS—you don’t need to know the block’s class name. The <code>&</code> selector is supported for targeting nested elements and pseudo-selectors (<code>:before</code>, <code>:after</code>, <code>:hover</code>, <code>:not()</code>, etc.).</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Advantages:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Integrates with the Styles interface in the Site Editor — users can see and modify your per-block CSS under Styles → Blocks → [Block] → Advanced → Additional CSS.</li>
<li>WordPress handles the selector, so you avoid specificity conflicts.</li>
<li>CSS from elements and variations is also supported (from WordPress 6.6).</li>
<li>Provides a bridge between structured theme.json properties and full CSS freedom.</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Limitations:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>JSON doesn’t support line breaks, so everything must be on one line — cumbersome for large blocks of CSS.</li>
<li>No syntax highlighting in JSON files.</li>
<li>Best for small, targeted additions — for anything extensive, use block stylesheets instead.</li>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Override or extend the parent theme’s <code>theme.json</code> with a child theme. WordPress merges both files automatically.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Advantages:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>All changes survive parent theme updates.</li>
<li>Full access to every theme.json capability — structured properties, css property, presets, and settings.</li>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Who:</strong> Site owners, content editors (no code required)<br /><strong>Where:</strong> <strong>Appearance → Editor → Styles</strong></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The visual interface for customizing your site’s appearance. Users can adjust typography, colors, spacing, and layout for the entire site, individual elements, or specific block types — all without writing any code.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img alt="" class="wp-image-44500" height="569" src="https://i0.wp.com/gutenbergtimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Screenshot-2026-02-24-at-18.40.45.png?resize=652%2C569&ssl=1" width="652" /></figure>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Advantages:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>No code required — fully visual.</li>
<li>Highest specificity: user styles override theme defaults.</li>
<li>Changes are stored in the database (<code>wp_global_styles</code> post type), separate from theme files, so they survive theme updates.</li>
<li>Supports global style variations — users can switch between whole-site style presets.</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Limitations:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Limited to what the UI controls expose (which grows with each WordPress release).</li>
<li>For anything the UI can’t handle, users fall back to the Additional CSS options below.</li>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Who:</strong> Site owners with CSS knowledge<br /><strong>Where:</strong> Appearance → Editor → Styles → three-dot menu (⋮) → Additional CSS</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is the block theme replacement for the classic Customizer’s Additional CSS panel. A free-form CSS editor for site-wide custom styles.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Advantages:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Free-form CSS handles any valid CSS.</li>
<li>Stored in the database as part of Global Styles (not in theme files), so it’s theme-specific but survives code deployments.</li>
<li>Preview changes before saving.</li>
<li>Revision history (last 25 versions).</li>
<li>Higher specificity than theme styles.</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Limitations:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Not scoped to blocks — loads globally.</li>
<li>No syntax highlighting or code formatting.</li>
<li>Intended as a last resort for styles that can’t be achieved through theme.json or the visual Styles interface.</li>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Add custom class names to a specific block instance. The CSS itself must be defined elsewhere (style.css, block stylesheets, Additional CSS, etc.). As a user the global Additional CSS is probably the most practical place. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Advantages:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Precision targeting of individual block instances rather than all blocks of a type.</li>
<li>Perfect for one-off styling: a highlighted paragraph, a special call to action, etc.</li>
<li>Multiple classes can be added, separated by spaces.</li>
<li>Works with any CSS source — just define the class styles somewhere.</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Limitations:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Only adds class names — you still need to write the CSS elsewhere.</li>
<li>Per-instance, which means it doesn’t scale well for repeated patterns (use block style variations for those).</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="9-global-style-variations-theme-level-style-presets">9. Global Style Variations (Theme-Level Style Presets)</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Who:</strong> Theme developers<br /><strong>Where:</strong> JSON files in the theme’s <code>/styles</code> directory (at the top level, not in a <code>/blocks</code> subfolder)</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Provide entire alternative site-wide style schemes. Each variation is a JSON partial that can override settings and styles from the main theme.json. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since WordPress 6.6, style variations are further classified into three subtypes based on their content. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A variation file that defines only <code>settings.color</code> or <code>styles.color</code> is automatically recognized as a <strong>color variation</strong>, appearing under <strong>Styles → Colors → Palette. </strong></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One that defines only <code>settings.typography</code> or <code>styles.typography</code> becomes a <strong>typography variation</strong>, appearing under <strong>Styles → Typography → Presets. </strong></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Files that touch other properties remain full <strong>theme style variations</strong>. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Color and typography variations can be mixed and matched with each other and with theme variations. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To keep the <code>/styles</code> folder organized, it’s recommended to use subfolders (e.g., <code>/styles/color</code>, <code>/styles/typography</code>, <code>/styles/global</code>). </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="10-block-style-variations-json-php-and-javascript">10. Block Style Variations (JSON, PHP, and JavaScript)</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Who:</strong> Theme developers, plugin developers<br /><strong>Where:</strong> JSON files in <code>/styles</code>, PHP via <code>register_block_style()</code>, or JavaScript via <code>wp.blocks.registerBlockStyle()</code></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Block style variations give content creators pre-made styling options in the Styles panel — like “Rounded” or “Outline” on core blocks. You can register them via JSON files in <code>/styles</code> (WordPress 6.6+, no PHP needed), PHP with <code>register_block_style()</code>, or JavaScript. The JSON-based methods integrate with Global Styles so users can customize them in the Site Editor; <code>inline_style</code>, <code>style_handle</code>, and JavaScript methods do not.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For a thorough walkthrough of all six registration methods — with code examples, a companion theme and plugin on GitHub, and a comparison table showing which methods support Global Styles — see the comprehensive guide <strong><a href="https://wordpress.com/blog/2025/05/07/custom-block-styles/">Mastering Custom Block Styles in WordPress: 6 Methods for Theme and Plugin Developers</a>.</strong></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="11-section-styles">11. Section Styles </h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Who:</strong> Theme developers<br /><strong>Where:</strong> JSON files in <code>/styles</code> directory, targeting mostly group or column blocks. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Section styles are more of a convention than a separate feature. They are essentially Block Style Variations. The difference is naming the variation slug: <code>style-1</code>, <code>style-2</code>, etc. so that they can be reused across themes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since WordPress 6.6, block style variations can style nested inner blocks and elements, enabling “section styling” — where a Group block’s style variation changes the appearance of all blocks within it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Twenty Twenty Five theme showcases this convention quite nicely. </p>

<li>Powerful for creating consistent design sections (hero areas, dark sections, testimonials).</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Limitations:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Easy to overwhelm users with too many section style options — restraint is needed.</li>
<li>Requires careful design token architecture (using base/contrast/primary/secondary color naming).</li>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is the recommended approach when you have more CSS than what’s comfortable in theme.json’s <code>css</code> property.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="what-s-the-difference-between-wp-enqueue-style-and-add-editor-style">What’s the difference between wp_enqueue_style and add_editor_style?</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>wp_enqueue_style()</code> is the general-purpose function for loading stylesheets — you choose where it loads by picking your hook (<code>wp_enqueue_scripts</code> for the frontend, <code>enqueue_block_editor_assets</code> for the editor). When you use it on the editor hook, the stylesheet loads into the entire editor page, including the UI chrome (sidebar, toolbar, etc.).</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>add_editor_style()</code> is specifically designed for visual parity between the editor and the frontend. WordPress takes the stylesheet you pass it and automatically scopes every selector to <code>.editor-styles-wrapper</code>, so your styles only affect the content canvas and don’t bleed into the editor UI. In block themes it’s typically called from an <code>after_setup_theme</code> hook — this is how themes get their <code>style.css</code> to apply inside the editor.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The practical upshot: if you want your theme’s frontend styles to look the same in the editor, use <code>add_editor_style()</code>. If you need to style the editor UI itself (like a custom sidebar panel) or need fine-grained control over loading conditions, dependencies, and versioning, use <code>wp_enqueue_style()</code> on the appropriate hook.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="14-the-theme-s-style-css">14. The Theme’s <code>style.css</code></h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Who:</strong> Theme developers<br /><strong>Where:</strong> <code>style.css</code> in the theme root</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The traditional main stylesheet still works in block themes, but its role has changed significantly. It now primarily holds theme metadata (name, version, description) and is loaded globally. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In block themes it’s typically called from an <code>after_setup_theme</code> hook — this is how themes get their <code>style.css</code> to apply inside the editor.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="decision-guide">Decision Guide</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Start here:</strong> Use <strong>theme.json structured properties</strong> (#1) for everything they support. This gives you the best integration with the Global Styles system and lets users customize your styles.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Need CSS that theme.json properties can’t express?</strong> Use the <strong>theme.json <code>css</code> property</strong> (#2) for small additions or <strong>block stylesheets</strong> (#12) for anything substantial.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Want to offer style choices to content editors?</strong> Create <strong>block style variations</strong> (#10) so they appear in the Styles panel.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Site owner making tweaks?</strong> Use the <strong>Global Styles UI</strong> (#5) first, then fall back to <strong>Additional CSS</strong> (#7 or #7) for anything the visual interface can’t handle.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Need to target one specific block instance?</strong> Use <strong>Additional CSS Class(es)</strong> (#8) and define the class in your preferred CSS source.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Building a child theme?</strong> Override the parent via <strong>child theme.json</strong> (#4) and add block stylesheets as needed.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Beta 2 updates and highlights</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress 7.0 Beta 2 contains more than 70 updates and fixes across the Editor and Core since the Beta 1 release. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Each beta cycle focuses on bug fixes; and more are on the way with your help through testing. You can browse the technical details for all issues addressed since Beta 1 using these links:</p>

</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Beta 2 also contains a new feature</strong>!</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI provider management is more intuitive in 7.0 Beta 2 with a new Connectors UI dashboard page. WordPress users can now manage external AI connections in a central place in wp-admin, under Settings > Connectors. The new UI enables users to add, delete, and update external connections. It is powered by an extensible, route-based architecture that allows plugins and themes to hook into the page and expand its functionality. The new Connectors page builds on PHP-based script and menu infrastructure, and adds route components powered by <code>@wordpress/components</code> and <code>@wordpress/admin-ui</code>. A new <code>connections-wp-admin-init</code> hook and registration APIs allow plugins to integrate cleanly. This makes managing external connections easier while giving developers a clearer path to extend the experience.</p>

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Luxury houses sell the idea of scarcity, with hordes of publicists explaining that the years-long wait for a Birkin handbag is due to the lack of sufficient artisans to craft these pinnacles of refinement. This is a fairy tale stitched in fine silk. The luxury-goods industry has roughly tripled in size since 2000; its €358bn in annual sales—half a Walmart or Amazon, give or take—betrays how thoroughly mainstream supposed exclusivity has become. Fifty years ago, Louis Vuitton had but two outlets, both in France. These days it has two stores in Ningbo, China’s 34th-biggest city. Exclusive, <em>moi</em>?</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:00:19] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Welcome to the Jukebox Podcast from WP Tavern. My name is Nathan Wrigley.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jukebox is a podcast which is dedicated to all things WordPress. The people, the events, the plugins, the blocks, the themes, and in this case WordPress sustainability, community engagement and release strategies.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’d like to subscribe to the podcast, you can do that by searching for WP Tavern in your podcast player of choice. Or by going to wptavern.com/feed/podcast, and you can copy that URL into most podcast players.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you have a topic that you’d like us to feature on the podcast, I’m keen to hear from you and hopefully get you, or your idea, featured on the show. Head to wptavern.com/contact/jukebox, and use the form there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So on the podcast today, we have Jonathan Desrosiers. Jonathan has been involved with WordPress for almost two decades, both as a user and a contributor. He’s a principal software engineer at Bluehost, where his role sees him sponsored to work on WordPress through the Five for the Future program. Over the years, he’s become a Core committer, and has spent many hours thinking about how to enhance the contributor experience, and make it easier for people to get involved in the project.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this episode we discuss how WordPress releases might become more impactful by synchronizing them with flagship community events like WordCamps and State of the Word. A recent experiment of combining a major release with a live event spark some excitement, and Jonathan shares insights on the logistics behind such synchronized moments, the challenges posed by international holidays, and regional scheduling, and the broader vision for connecting releases with community gatherings.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We also get into the challenging landscape of the WordPress community, how it’s recovering from the effects of COVID, the struggle to rebuild local Meetups, and efforts like mentorship and educational initiatives to bring in new contributors, particularly from younger generations.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jonathan reflects on the importance of making release moments engaging and fun, akin to the anticipation of a new TV series or software launch, and the role of AI and open source in empowering a new wave of builders.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re interested in how release cycles, community events, and contributor onboarding are involved in WordPress, or what the future might hold for the platform and its community, this episode is for you.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so without further delay, I bring you Jonathan Desrosiers.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I am joined on the podcast by Jonathan Desrosiers. Hello.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:06] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> Hi, how are you?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:07] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, good. Jonathan’s joining me again. Most recently, I think we were at WordCamp somewhere. I can’t exactly remember where, but I was chatting with him and Joe Dolson if memory serves. And a very different conversation to be had today because Jonathan has been mulling over how we can make releases impactful, and also how we can bind those to community events, particularly flagship WordPress events like WordCamps, things like that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Before we begin that conversation, Jonathan, I wonder, it’s a bit of a banal question, but people like to have the context of who you are. So would you mind just, very quick potted bio. Just tell us who you are and what you do in the WordPress space.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:44] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> Sure. So my name is Jonathan Desrosiers. I am a principal software engineer at Bluehost and I am sponsored there, the majority of my time is sponsored to contribute back to the WordPress project through the Five for the Future program. And so I’ve been there, probably since 2018, I think. And I’ve been a Core committer for almost eight years now.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ve been involved as an accredited contributor for 13 years now. And so I’ve been involved with WordPress for over a decade in many ways, contributing, but also as a user for almost, geez, almost two decades now I think. And so, I just had that realisation, it’s been a really long time. It’s been almost 20 years that I’ve been at least using WordPress in some way.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But week to week I do a lot of thinking about contributor experience, how we can automate things, or how we can make our processes more clear so that more people can participate. And just generally making sure that everybody has what they need to be successful. And whether that’s mentorship, or they have blockers they need, certain people to come together and discuss, and get a consensus or understanding, you know, how the sausage is made in some way.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:04:56] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I think it’s fair to say that you are very much connected to the WordPress project. I think it’s the fulcrum of your working life, and you are working at a very high level as well. So Core committer, things like that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, in the recent past, it was probably, I want to say December in the year 2025, we had a kind of strange event happened. Not strange in the sense of weird, but strange in the sense of different, unusual. A release of WordPress came out and it coincided with an actual event. Now, in this case, it was State of the Word. So there was a bunch of people, and I believe they were gathered in New York. I could be wrong about that, but I think it was in.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:05:33] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> It was in San Francisco.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:05:35] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> San Francisco. Okay, there we go. Thank you for the correction. It was in San Francisco and the idea was that the release of WordPress would go out and it would be bound to this event. And there was this almost, how can we describe it? It was almost like television, basically. It was being filmed and streamed live all over the place. And there was this feeling of a big red button. There was a lot of people gathered around and they all sort of leaned in and pushed a big red button, and the release of WordPress came out.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, I don’t know if the button actually did anything or if it was really sort of smoke and mirrors. I like the idea that the button actually did signal the release, but I don’t know if that’s the case. But the point was, there was a little bit of theater put into it. There was this idea that, okay, we’ve got this live event which lots of people will be watching. We’ve got a release which we need to do, which lots of people will be looking forward to. Why don’t we sort of combine the two things?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so it was a bit of PR really. And it also felt a bit like sort of marketing, and I’m going to use gimmick in the real sense of the word. So not like gimmick as in something pointless, but gimmick as in something different, unique. Something to draw your attention and grab you in. And I think the idea has been proposed that in the year 2026, the flagship events, the flagship WordCamps, so I’ll list them in order in which they’re happening.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So we’ve got WordCamp Asia, and then we’ve WordCamp Europe, and then we’ve got WordCamp US. The three releases of WordPress during 2026 will happen in tandem with those events. Now, why? Why would we want to do this?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:07:12] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> Yeah, so I don’t think it was intentional, but the schedule just happened to coincide. You know, we were working on 6.9 and we realised, oh, the release date is the same as State of the Word. And so, I can’t remember who originally had the idea, but it was mentioned that it would be really neat to just be able to publish it live at the event and celebrate that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I guess the main reason behind it is just that, the more I’m involved in open source, the more I realise that the code and the license and all those things are important, but the most important thing underneath any open source project is the community that’s involved with it. And what better way to celebrate our achievements and our accomplishments when we get together in different ways.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so, typically that’s in Slack or social media, right? We celebrate a release and we share the posts and say what we’re excited about. But we also get together at different events and we do the same thing, right? We talk about what we’re excited about, what we’re working on, what’s coming, or what we think should change in certain ways. Why not just do that at the same time and create even a more ultimate celebration, right? Another community moment where people have another opportunity to feel involved in something greater than them.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:08:25] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Do you have any notion that this is going to be carried forward? I mean, I know that there was obviously a bit of serendipity in how it happened. The coincidence of timing and things like that. But do you have every confidence that this will happen, that Asia will get a release, Europe will get a release, and the US will get a release. In the year 2026, do you think that’s going to actually occur?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:08:46] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> We will see. So as the proposed schedule is for this calendar year, right? There’s three releases. Unfortunately, it’s tough because the people planning WordCamps don’t plan around our software’s release cadence, right? They plan around budget, regional holidays, travel factors, weather, cost of venues and availability.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so, you know, it’s not reasonable for the Core team and the people working on releases to say you have to have an event in a certain month, right? And so this year, some people may not have noticed, but WordCamp Asia is in April this year, which it’s been in February so far in the previous editions. And WordCamp Europe is in June, which it’s traditionally usually in.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so that’s not a big enough gap to have another major release. And so the proposed schedule is saying, let’s release during WordCamp Asia, let’s release during WordCamp US, and then we’ll release again at the end of the year around State of the Word. We don’t have a date for State of the Word yet, but it’s around where we think it might be.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And likewise, creating a schedule for releases is incredibly hard because if we don’t release in the first week of April, for example, then I believe the whole month of April has major religious holidays scattered throughout it in different areas of the world. And if we released in March, that was way too soon because we started the alpha phase of 7.0, that starts when the previous release is branched, like it’s separated from the primary branch in the code base, and that happened in like November.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But there’s US Thanksgiving, there’s Hanukkah, there’s Christmas, there’s New Year’s, right? A lot of people in the community take the majority of December off, and so that’s like a washed month, right? And so we would’ve had essentially four weeks until the feature complete point of the release. So that was too soon. And so it’s just as hard to plan the release schedule in a way that doesn’t negatively impact everybody as best as possible as it is to plan these major events.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so I can’t say that it will be a guarantee going forward. We’re trying it out this year to see how it goes and what we can learn from it. We felt that the State of the Word was successful and it was exciting. It was unique in its own ways. And so we want to try, continue trying this this year and see how it goes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:11:06] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Gosh, the piece that you just said there about the religious holidays and what have you, that really opens up a really interesting discussion. Because it is quite likely, I imagine, that the listenership to this podcast probably never gave that any thought, that this kind of international calendar, be it a religious calendar or maybe just a vacation calendar in certain parts of the globe would really impact when the release can happen.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because there are people who are committing to the project, and they tend to be in certain jurisdictions. And so if there are people who are on, I don’t know, a week long holiday, nationally, in a specific jurisdiction, and they typically are a large part of the team that are committing in various different respects, that’s important, but probably something that many people would not have thought about.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, in terms of these releases then, is the idea, well, I’ll backpedal a little bit. It occurred to me that quite a lot of the people who may be involved in releases are the very kind of people who would find themselves also at some of these flagship events. Now, obviously it’s not going to be 100%, maybe it’s 25% of the people who are release leads and part of the teams that are committing here, there, and everywhere.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I was worried that there’d be people on airplanes, people trying to land and orientate themselves in the country that they’ve landed in in the same period of time when they would’ve been heads down, in their office, in their study, figuring out the bits that might be broken with the upcoming release. Is that a thing? Is that part of the jigsaw puzzle of this?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:12:32] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> It definitely is, yeah. With any release, there’s no time of the day where everyone on the planet is available to work on something, right? And so another part of this is that, in a way it forces us to have a major release in different geographic areas so that everywhere on the globe there’s a WordPress release that they may be able to participate in, right?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so, likewise with travel, right? So when we assemble _ W)�}VI� � �}�
� ?� �a release squad, we have to think, okay, it’s based in, for example, this one was planned to be released at WordCamp Asia in India. So we want to make sure we have a mix of people that are in different areas of the world. And not just so that there’s always people around to respond to things throughout the entire cycle, but we also want to have people that are present and not present at the event that are participating. And maybe the wifi is completely unusable or maybe something happens, right? So it’s good to have people that are there and not.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And that was part of the announcement too, is that we tried to underscore the point that it would be great if everybody could go to WordCamp Asia, but traveling is not a requirement to participate in the release at all. And that’s a good thing, because it’s good to have people in multiple areas, multiple time zones.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With WordCamp Asia, once contributor day ends, it’s the beginning of the US daytime, right? And so those contributors can sign off and there’s people around to help carry that torch and continue on if there’s any follow-up issues or anything that needs to be investigated.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so, yeah, that’s also a consideration is how, I guess we can call it global coverage, right? Like, how can we ensure we have global coverage so that there are people with the right skill sets, and right availability, and right knowledge, to be able to take on certain tasks or responsibilities or perform investigations, whatever may need to be done as part of that release process.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:14:26] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I, like you, am really in the weeds of the WordPress project. I obsess about it in a way that’s probably not all that healthy. I’m very well aware of when the next release is coming up. I’m usually fairly aware of what is going to be in that release. But I imagine most people using WordPress, it’s probably a bit of a surprise. You know, they open up WordPress one day and either it has updated. If it’s a point release, probably it’s a more manual thing, if it’s a major release, I should say, but if it’s a more minor release, maybe things have updated in the background during the course of the night and what have you.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I’m thinking of TV series now. So when a successful TV series has a new season, there’s all this fanfare and buildup and you know it’s coming. You see the commercials, you see the adverts. And the moment that TV series comes around, you are excited, you’re ready to go. And I remember back in the day, this is going back a long time, when Firefox would make a release, they sort of did this thing like, I don’t know, every 18 months or something like that. Not like now where it’s every couple of hours it seems, that browsers update themselves.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But when it went to, I don’t know, 3.6 or something like that, there was this big fanfare, this big moment. Everybody took stock and what have you. And are you trying to encourage a bit of that? Are you trying to create a bit of razzmatazz and drama and intrigue and awareness and all of that around the release, and make it feel like an important thing, which with the best will in the world, it kind of has not been more recently? Most people, it just updates. There’s no fanfare whatsoever. But we can leverage it to make it important, significant, fun, interesting.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:16:04] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> Yes and no, right? Like, we want to celebrate the community and the work we’re doing now. I actually would love it if we could get to a point where we’re releasing every, I don’t know, every week or every month even, right? Not have to wait every three or four months. There’s some value in having that penultimate moment, right? Of, we’ve worked for three months on this. But there’s also aspects of the world where we expect things faster and more instant and waiting for the patch that you submit in January to be released in April is not really, like maybe you lose interest in contributing in that time, right? So there’s many different things like that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some things that you mentioned really resonated with me as far as awareness of what’s coming or like what’s been done. In a way, the fact that users are not so aware of what’s being added or what their site has updated to, it’s a sign of the success of auto updates and how seamless those are.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because for a little while I’ve been considering, when you update WordPress manually, you’re redirected into the about page in the dashboard, right? And every release, there’s a new about page that’s designed, it works hand in hand with, we call them the micro sites, which is like a wordpress.org’s landing page that showcases the release. And it just explains all the features that have been added.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But you only see that if you either go to the about page manually or you manually click update when you’re in the dashboard. And a site might have many administrators that only the person that actually updates will see it. And so I’ve been thinking about ways that we can make users more aware that their site is updated. Or maybe that’s not the important part, but maybe it’s just the important part to make them aware of the new features that are available to them, right?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Maybe we put some type of a widget on the dashboard where we link off to a Learn WordPress page that teaches you about how to use the Notes feature that got added. The other thing too is you mentioned about the TV shows advertise when they’re coming up, right? Maybe we need to do a better job of advertising what’s coming up and encouraging people to opt in early and test.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And in a way a more rapid release cycle leads to that because many of the browsers have different feature flags and they build features out in different branches, and you can actually opt into testing a specific feature and that would get turned on, but maybe not all the other things that they’re working on until it’s ready.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so maybe we need different ways for people to get involved testing, or trying things out earlier to understand what’s coming, but also to give us valuable feedback, how it works on their site, what breaks, what it doesn’t interact with. All of that is very valuable feedback, and we should always be striving to get more testers and more awareness around what’s coming because it creates new feedback loops that are valuable for different reasons.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:18:58] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, it’s kind of interesting, and what I’m about to say, I am sure that a significant proportion of the listeners to this podcast will say, no, Nathan, we don’t want this. But here’s a proposal then. Here’s an idea. And again, I’m going to hark back to the TV series.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The TV series, typically when they’ve started advertising between other television programs, that TV series has been made, the footage has been shot, the graphics have been done. It’s basically ready to roll. And then they parcel all that up and then they release little snippets of what’s coming so that you can prepare yourself and get excited.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I kind of wondered if something like that in the dashboard, akin to the about us page, but in the run up to the release. So all the graphics have been made. We know basically what’s going to drop in this release. Now it may get tweaked here and there at the edges, but we know what’s coming. I’ve always thought that would be a really nice idea.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I would love to see that. And I realise a proportion of people would think, no, we really don’t want that. But I think that’s a perfect opportunity to get people drawn into, oh, this is coming. Collaborative editing, that’s about to happen is it? Gosh, that’s really interesting.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then this call to action could be dropped in, but we need some testing around the edges of it. We’ve got the bare bones of it, but we need some more eyeballs on it and what have you. So that proactive demonstration of what’s going to happen rather than the reactive, your site has been updated, here’s what there is, which is already there. This is more of a here’s what’s coming, get excited, get involved, yada yada.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:20:29] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> In some ways the feature branch model that I described lends to that, right? Because then it’s not, here comes this feature and then, oh, actually we left it out of this release, right? It’s its own thing that’s being worked on. And then when it’s released, it’s released, and it’s here. But it doesn’t make it any less, any worse off than other things that are shipping in the release, right? Because it’s its own thing, and it’s its own, it has its own criteria to be ready, in a state that we’re comfortable with shipping it and supporting it forever because of backwards compatibility.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so yeah, I think that what you’re describing is essentially what I was describing, a little bit more detail. And there’s of course a lot of nuance there around how often do we do that? We have a lot of parts of the release process that need to be automated before we can even consider that. The different parts of the block editor are, many of it is managed as packages, NPM packages. And so a lot of those are so interconnected, it’s a little difficult to release just one feature because they’re all being updated at the same time.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so like there’s some architectural things to think about around that. Like, how do we compartmentalize things better to be able to do that? Make sure we don’t accidentally include something that’s not ready but when we intended to include a certain feature. There’s a lot to unpack there and I don’t know that we’ll ever get there just because of the sheer size of the project and how, backwards compatibility, how long we’ve been around.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I think that training users that auto updates are important to have enabled that are quality, you know, not shipping things that break people’s sites as much as possible, even though it’s unavoidable because of how flexible WordPress is.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After 6.9 came out, I was looking into some of the data because I had this gut feeling that 6.9 was being updated to, slower than other releases. And so for a little while I was looking at that. And after about a month, I was like, okay, this is just a hunch. Let me go and actually look at the data around this.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so what I noticed was actually the opposite. When I looked at, I created 5% thresholds for the percentage of total WordPress sites. And when I looked at the data, I realised that for the last 10 releases, let’s see here. So every major version of the last six to eight releases has passed 35% of all WordPress sites in two days or less. And also every one of these columns as far as percentages is increasing.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so WordPress 6.9 reached the 50% threshold of all WordPress sites in 10 days, and that’s four days faster than 6.8, which was the next fastest. And currently we’re approaching 65% threshold of all WordPress sites. And only six other releases have done that so far. All of them are the most recent ones, except for 4.9, which we all know had a waiting period for Gutenberg. And the only release the past 70% was 6.8.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so I’m interested to see how this trend continues because it’s showing an acceleration of adoption for each new major version of WordPress. They’re getting installed faster, by more people. It’s a sign that we’re shipping stable software. People are more confident. People are opting into auto updates for major versions. And in general, it’s just a quality sign that we’re doing something right here. And so how can we lean into that more?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:23:52] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Okay, let’s pivot a little bit. Let’s sort of bind community, we did touch on this a minute ago, but let’s spend a little bit of time binding the community to these kind of things because right at the start you mentioned that really the community is the underpinnings of your interest in the WordPress space. The code is obviously tremendously important, but without the community there is no code basically.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so we’ve got these events. We’re trying to create interest around the WordCamps and the releases at the same time. But just looking back over the last period of time, let’s go for year, two years, something like that. I don’t know what your spidey sense is telling you, but my spidey sense is telling me that that community portion, it’s sort of slowly but surely, it feels like it’s withering away slightly.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’m not really picking up on like this angry mob of people who are stamping their feet and shouting, I don’t want anything to do with the WordPress community and then disappearing. I mean maybe there’s a few of those, probably, somewhere. But I don’t get a sense of that. I just get this sense of sort of, somebody’s pulled the plug out of a bathtub and it’s slowly sort of draining away.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Attendance down at WordCamps. Meetups struggling to sort of get the numbers that they had several years ago. And so it would feel like at the moment, you would have to be watching the news fairly closely, especially right now. So at the beginning of February, 2026 is when we’re recording this. There does seem to be a push from the senior leadership to make WordPress Meetups and things like that, a much more central part.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then there’s this whole broad spectrum of educational initiatives as well going on. So we’ve got WP Campus Connect, we’ve got the Credits Program and a whole smorgasbord of other things which is happening.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So there’s no question there, really, what I’m just trying to do is give you the opportunity to bind the two things, the WordPress community and the software, and really just talk about whether you’ve noticed the same thing as me, where there’s this slow, withering of the community. And maybe this is a part of just sort of getting it all back together, making events like this a bit more fun and interesting.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:26:02] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> Yeah. I think there’s a few things there to call out. The first observation I’ve had over the last year is there’s a palpable excitement to build with WordPress again. I’m noticing there’s a renewed enthusiasm. People, they want to move on from certain things, and they want to get back to building experiences and tools and things on the WordPress platform.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But there’s also, I think we’reVI� �}�� � � �}�
� ?� � dealing with some, in some ways, a long tail COVID effect, right? There was obviously, you know, a lack of in-person events for a while, and during that time a lot of the people who were keeping Meetups alive and WordCamps alive, they moved on, or burnt out, and chose not to return after. And so there was a break in that pipeline of, usually there’s a lead doing that and there’s other people learning under them, and then they move up and take over. And that was totally disrupted and I think that we’re still trying to rebuild that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I think that it manifests differently in different areas too. So for example, the APAC WordCamp community is very strong and they have lots of WordCamps. But in the United States, there was one WordCamp that wasn’t WordCamp US last year, I think, Montclair. And I lead the Boston WordPress Meetup and so finding speakers is difficult. Getting people to come out is difficult as well. And I think those are partially just larger societal shifts where it’s harder to get people to come out to certain things. And we just have different preferences as far as how we consume information or learn.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I’m still not sure why the difference in the geographical areas, and I think it may have to do more with, APAC is a more emerging market when it comes to WordPress, right? Like their community, especially in certain areas has been growing and is much newer than it is in the US. And so I think that they’re growing their communities for the first time in many ways, right? But in the US it’s the second or third or fourth time that we’re growing those communities or revitalising those communities. And the form that that needs to take, I think is a little different. And I’m not clear on what the holdup is there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I do know that a big factor of that is to get new people involved with WordPress and interested in WordPress, and that’s why some of the priorities that Mary Hubbard published, and one of them in particular is education and awareness and all of those different things that work together in the form of the WP Credits program, mentorship programs. There’s been the contributor mentorship programs that happen every few quarters in WordPress over the last few years.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And we’ve seen some really great contributors who were mentored in that program, and then the next time the program happened, they mentored, and then they became a team lead, and then they served on release squads. And so we’ve seen some really great contributed journeys through those paths.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:28:53] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I’ll just sort of run through with you the kind of things that I’ve noticed in my part of the world. So I think COVID is an enormous part of it. It upended so many ordinary things in life. So, as an example, you know, people obviously, they ceased going out, and then that pattern of not going out became habituated. People didn’t go out because that’s not what you do.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And in the UK we have this institution called the pub, which I’m sure you’ve heard of. And it used to be that prior to COVID, the pub was the real centerpiece of many communities. You know, towns, suburbs, what have you. Everybody would coalesce around the pub and that was very important. Since the pandemic, a lot of those institutions, they don’t really function in that way anymore. You know, there isn’t the throughput, there isn’t the footfall and so they go out of business.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And the same, I presume is true in the WordPress space. You know, we’re trying to encourage people to get up, leave their home, spend money on transportation. Obviously there’s the time cost, the sunk cost of time and what have you as well. It’s difficult, but it makes me more sanguine that it’s not just like, it’s not just a WordPress thing, you know, it’s the whole of society.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But like you said, I get the feeling that the WordPress community has begun to address it. And the way it’s being addressed is through these educational initiatives. Trying to get a throughput of younger talent. So get them at the school age, get them at the university age, and then hopefully they will have an interest. They’ll get a flavor of what it means to be involved in these Meetups and things like that and hopefully take those on.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s a laudable goal. I hope that it has the capacity to transfer. You know, so in a decade’s time we can look back and say, look what happened. This young blood emerged. I think it’s yet to be seen. I think certainly in the area, the locale where I am, the United Kingdom, we don’t see evidence of that yet. Maybe in the US that would also mirror.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But from everything that I’ve learned and the people that I’ve talked to for this podcast and events in Asia and places like that, that seems to be a really different picture. There seems to be a real thirst for solutions like WordPress. Because there’s a direct kind of career path there. You know, you can pick up a free piece of open source software, crack open a laptop and get going and start to sell your services far and wide. And so again, there’s no question there, just observations that I hope these initiatives bear fruit. But it’ll be interesting to see. Only time will tell.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:31:16] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> I think at the root of what we’re dealing with is that people are motivated by what they see as valuable, right? If they’re not going out to events, so they’re not engaging with the community, they don’t recognise or feel that it’s valuable to them in some way. And so we’re having to reprove why communities are valuable, why open source is valuable, why you should care.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then the other aspect of it is, you know, overall project sustainability. We can’t just keep getting older. We need to have a balance of new, younger people that get involved as well.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so one way to lean into getting younger is obviously, like you said, to approach people at schooling age, right? Or university, and teach them about open source. Show them how to contribute, how to be a part of a community, and why it’s valuable. But we have to be really careful because we need to be prepared to, I’ve written in the past that we need to be prepared to activate these contributors, right?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So it’s one thing to make them aware of this, but it’s another thing to make sure they’re properly supported and we give them pathways to grow. We give them clear criteria to be successful, clear projects to work on, so they understand what they’re doing and what they’re trying to accomplish.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And I think that this is one thing that is also a benefit of having the releases coincide with these major events because new people are getting together already, so why not use that opportunity?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the goals that every table lead and every organiser of a Contributor Day has is to ensure as many contributors see, realise their work over the finish line. And so on the Core team that’s a patch that someone tests gets committed, or a patch someone writes gets committed to WordPress, right? How can we make that more valuable, where it’s not just ending when they leave Contributor Day?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so I’ve been thinking about all the different logistics and helping to coordinate with the WordCamp Asia team and the 7.0 release team to make sure we’re prepared for that final day. And one of the things I’ve been thinking about is the release process itself. One of the best, lowest friction ways to get involved with WordPress in the actual release process. And you don’t need any experience contributing to really take part in it. And that’s when we get to a point where we say, okay, here’s the zip file of what we think we’re going to ship, go test it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so people will take it, and they install it on their server and they say which version of PHP they’re using, and how they installed it and what they did and, you know, it worked. And the majority of that though is just looking for problems. And when problems don’t come up, we just don’t do anything with all the information that people are dropping, right? And there might be 50 people at a major release. We call them parties, but at the release parties that are dropping information. And again, if there’s no red flags, that information just largely goes away.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But, how can we rethink that and make that effort more meaningful, and also create a pathway for them to continue contributing in some way past that moment? And having everybody in person is a great way to have pilot programs for different approaches, because there can be someone that briefs a set of contributors on what we’re going to try this time, here’s what we want to do, give us feedback on how you felt it went. Everybody that’s involved in the squad and doing the release can say, oh yeah, that actually was really helpful and better than what we do before.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And these newer individuals that are learning also have fresh perspective. And so having them participate in these, I guess I’ll call them experiments of such, but just these processes and things that we are considering, it helps get that fresh opinion and perspective on why things are working and why things aren’t and helps us just improve.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:35:04] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I’ve got three children and they’re all of a certain age now, they’re certainly no longer small. You know, they’re basically adults. And it’s really fascinating looking at the kind of things that engage them. I think they’ve just grown up in a different era. The diet of the kind of things that excite them is very different to the kind of things that excited somebody of my generation, just because, you know, they’ve had the whole world in their pocket ever since they were born.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And having that dialogue with the next generation, and trying to figure out what it is that they want and that they desire. And even things like open source. So when, I was already an adult before the internet began to be put into everybody’s homes, and people started to own personal computers and things like that. And so I was ready to receive that message of open source right at the start. And it became really obvious to me, oh, that’s a really clever way of making software.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But now of course we’ve got this landscape of closed platforms. Everything’s free at the point of use, but everything’s not free in any way, shape, or form. You can think of the siloed platforms that I’m talking about. My children have been raised with those and so just even making the argument about open source is hard enough.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So I think what I’m really advocating for is, obviously we’ve got to shepherd these people in, but at the same time, I think we have to be willing to let go of a lot of the things that we think the project is. We think the Meetup should contain. We think the WordCamp should maintain. Because at the end of the day, we’re competing for eyeballs and if we don’t make it, I’m going to use the word exciting, if we don’t make it exciting, they’re just not going to show up.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And I feel that’s a piece of the next five, six years, trying to figure out what excites these people. Because unless we do excite them, I fear the Meetups are going to be empty and there’ll be a certain throughput from the WordPress initiatives, Campus Connect and what have you. But we need to make these things exciting, interesting, innovative, fun. But I don’t have an answer to that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:36:59] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> Yeah, you touched on something interesting that I’ve been thinking about quite a bit. I gave a talk last year about how to implement AI into open source communities while maintaining what makes them great in the first place, which is the human element, right? The community aspects of it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so I’ve been thinking a lot about just AI and how it’s affecting us. And there’s a few things that I’m really excited about with AI and those are empowerment and learning. And so you can have an AI model that digests massive amounts of information and summarises it in the specific way that you learn best, right?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And likewise, I’m noticing that people feel more empowered to try things themselves because they have more of an ability to distill a lot of information down into something that’s digestible, right?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so I feel that the tension between those two areas of closed and open is growing. Because when I was growing up, computers were just starting to be less than the size of a car, right? People were starting to have them in their house. But they were still at a point where, the computer went bad, you took it apart and fixed it. You didn’t trade it in for a new one, right?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so I feel like my generation, there was a level of, we had the tools, but we had to go out and build the things we needed ourselves in some ways, and experiment. And then there’s been the generations between that and now where they pretty much had everything that they needed.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But AI is changing what we need, or what we want, and what ways we want it. And so now there’s a new found need to build again in some ways. And in some ways it’s kind of a circle, right? Because it’s, the AI is making it easier to build, but it’s also making you more aware you have to build. It’s kind of like building against itself in certain ways.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I’m finding that there’s more of a willingness to do things on your own, try to tackle something you would typically need to hire a professional to do in the past. You know in many ways we need to lean into that because then that gets people excited. Oh, WordPress, I could use WordPress to build this, or I could use just the WordPress for just the database part of it and the REST API and have some type of application on it because it scales well and it caches or whatever it may be.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I feel like people are starting to scoff at the walled gardens a little bit more, and I’m seeing that there’s a resurgence in things like RSS. I’m seeing new RSS readers are popping up. People are leaning towards the Fediverse. People are blogging more, having their own website instead of just their business on Facebook, right? Because that can get taken away.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We saw with Twitter how they just chose to close their platform. And embeds no longer work in WordPress because they shut down oEmbeds. And I feel like it changes every month, but there’s times where you have to log in to see a post, or you can’t see a post, or you can see one post and then you can’t see any more that’s� ��}��� � �}�
� ?� � shared externally. Yeah, so it gives you more control.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:40:02] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, I think that’s really interesting. And I also noticed that swing. Obviously, I don’t have any broader data. I can only point to the things in my life, the little intuitions that I’m gaining. But I see the same thing. I see an interest in AI, so we’ll just put that to one side for a moment. But in terms of the closed platforms, I do see that the people that I know who are significantly younger than me, they have intuitions around that, and they’ve kind of figured out for themselves that this is not great. It seems to be a vehicle to serve me ads, and I wonder what the incentive is for the stuff that I’m seeing, and maybe it’s kind of pushing me off in one direction politically and all of that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And yeah, this resurgence of RSS, of the blog. I know it’s hard to talk about, but it’s almost like we’re doing some sort of archaeology in the internet space. We’ve gone back to something older. We kind of dug up the relics from the past and we found that they’re still usable. They’re still there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’ll be so interesting. But I think if it was just the RSS and it was just the open nature of things, I think that’s going to be a hard sell. But throw AI into the mix, this capacity for somebody with very little relationship with writing code who can get something credible out. Now, it may not be robust, it may have security problems here and there. The accessibility may be something that needs to be addressed and what have you. But who can argue with the excitement of it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You know, you tell a computer to make a colourful website that’s got rainbows and pictures of cats, and sure enough, two minutes later you have a website with rainbows and pictures of cats. And that wasn’t possible until just a couple of years ago. And so I think we’ve got the tools. I think there’s things that we can deploy. AI seems to be the primary one at the moment. Let’s hope that that continues to be sustainable.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But that’s interesting. That gives me some hope. And the way that you’ve encapsulated it, open source combined with things like AI. Trying to get Meetups back. Trying to combine it with educational initiatives. Trying to combine it with WordCamps and releases.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:41:52] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> You mentioned something that’s important there in that it’s very easy for someone to get something built that they need specifically, right? And I think that’s where we’re at right now where AI is, like I said, is empowering, but more on a personal level. Once you need to scale those things, that’s when it gets difficult.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And it’s a rollercoaster of, oh my God, there’s going to be no software. And then, oh, look at all this crappy software that AI built. We are always going to have a job. And then it’s like up and down all throughout time as new tools get released. And it definitely matches what I’m seeing is like the personal empowerment level, they could take that and run with it and build this really massive thing, or they could just build something that they just want, that does specifically what they want, that they haven’t found out there that it accomplishes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And I think that another aspect of that is I’m noticing that a lot of people that you may not have thought would try things in the physical world on their own are more likely to do so as well. So maybe changing their faucet, or doing a landscaping project or something. I feel like we’ve had YouTube tutorials, right, has been a big thing for maybe a decade, right? But I feel like AI has unlocked a new level of empowerment where people feel more confident to try things because of the knowledge that’s available to them in different ways.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:43:09] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> The year 2026 is going to be punctuated by WordCamps. It’s going to be punctuated by WordPress releases. Hopefully we will start to see the needle move on educational initiatives, and maybe some younger people joining in with the community.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That has been a fascinating chat, Jonathan. I really appreciate that, getting your insight into what I think we both hope is going to happen in the WordPress project. That it will still be relevant in 10 years time, and that there’ll be children who are now, not old enough to be using computers, in a decade, they’ll be coming on podcasts like this, and hosting podcasts like this, and being involved in the community that we love so very much.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Where can we find you, Jonathan? If people want to talk to you and have a bit of a natter, where’s the best place to locate you?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:43:48] <strong>Jonathan Desrosiers:</strong> My website is just jonathandesrosiers.com. I’m desrosej pretty much everywhere on the internet. I try to keep it consistent and easy. And you can also, of course, find me in the wordpress.org Slack.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:44:01] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I will link to all of those in the show notes. So if you go to the wptavern.com website, search for the episode with Jonathan Desrosiers, you’ll be able to find all of the links probably at the bottom underneath the transcript and the preamble. Go and have a look down there and hopefully we’ll be speaking soon. I’ll probably see you in Mumbai in a few weeks time. Take care, Jonathan.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the podcast today we have <a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/desrosj/">Jonathan Desrosiers</a>.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jonathan has been involved with WordPress for almost two decades, both as a user and a contributor. He’s a principal software engineer at Bluehost, where his role sees him sponsored to work on WordPress through the Five for the Future program. Over the years, he’s become a Core committer, and has spent many hours thinking about how to enhance the contributor experience and make it easier for people to get involved in the project.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this episode we discuss how WordPress releases might be made more impactful by synchronizing them with flagship community events like WordCamps and State of the Word. A recent experiment of combining a major release with a live event sparked some excitement, and Jonathan shares insights on the logistics behind such synchronized moments, the challenges posed by international holidays and regional scheduling, and the broader vision for connecting releases with community gatherings.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We also get into the changing landscape of the WordPress community, how it’s recovering from the effects of COVID, the struggle to rebuild local Meetups, and efforts (like mentorship and educational initiatives) to bring in new contributors, particularly from younger generations. Jonathan reflects on the importance of making release moments engaging and fun, akin to the anticipation of a new TV series or software launch, and the role of AI and open source in empowering a new wave of builders.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re interested in how release cycles, community events, and contributor onboarding are evolving in WordPress, or what the future might hold for the platform and its community, this episode is for you.</p>

<p>I started working with WordPress in 2020. I joined a digital agency and was at the start of my professional career. I had freshly completed a developer bootcamp where we learned about web development concepts and the basics of JS, HTML and CSS. I was initially hired as a frontend developer, but soon expanded my role to UX design and WordPress.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-overcoming-prejudice"><strong>Overcoming prejudice</strong></h2>
<p>Initially, I was hesitant about working with WordPress. In some developer circles, it was looked down upon. I thought someone might think less of me for using such a basic tool instead of doing the real thing, since coding was considered the “proper” way to build things.</p>
<p>After some initial resistance, I managed to let go of my prejudice and started enjoying it. The process involved designing the website in Figma and then implementing it via WordPress. Although I like to write code, I always thought of myself as more of a visual person than a coder, so this felt quite satisfactory.</p>
<p>In the Agency we worked mostly with Elementor, and even though there were some trade-offs when using it, I still remember how glad the benefits made me feel. I could implement scroll animations and various custom effects just by adjusting a couple of settings. It was great!</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-shift-in-perspective"><strong>Shift in perspective</strong></h2>
<p>As time progressed and I became more fluent in WordPress, I stopped thinking only from a design and frontend perspective and started seeing the bigger picture. Besides getting familiar with SEO, I began to understand the relationship between design decisions, business goals, and real-world constraints.</p>
<p>I also realized that I no longer had to wait for someone else to finish the project. Design didn’t end at handoff, and implementation didn’t end at developing the frontend. I could take a project from an initial idea to a finished, high-quality website all on my own. WordPress made that possible without requiring me to become a backend specialist.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-delivering-complete-value"><strong>Delivering complete value</strong></h2>
<p>These insights changed my role more than any job title ever could and encouraged me to start freelancing. I took part in bigger, team-oriented WordPress projects, but I also worked on smaller ones where I was responsible for the whole process, from the initial “get-to-know-you” interview with the client to the final approval. I came to understand how design decisions influenced performance, how content structure shaped SEO, and how visual complexity affected load times and maintenance. </p>
<p>As I gained more experience, the scope of my work expanded. I was no longer just a designer or developer. Over time, I started to understand the business side of projects as well. It became clearer how a website fits into a broader strategy, how it supports client goals, and how decisions influence long term value. WordPress allowed me to develop a more strategic mindset. It helped me move from purely operational work toward strategic thinking. That broader business perspective ����}�́�5 � �~3
� ?� �became just as important to me as the technical execution itself.</p>
<p>The feeling of being able to provide a complete product to the client and own the entire process felt exciting because it satisfied my need for autonomy.</p>
<p>First time I truly felt responsible for the entire outcome was while developing a full hotel website from start to finish. Publishing the site felt different. Since working in a team is a collaborative activity, there is always sharing of responsibility, giving each other support and feedback. This is why this felt different. It was only me. It was not a contribution. It was owning the project from start to finish. Seeing the site live, functional, and in real use made this shift clear. It felt exciting to be able to deliver the full outcome.</p>
<p>Even if WordPress is not suitable for every use case and even if there are certain trade-offs, for someone like me, who wanted to feel autonomy and experience delivering a product from the initial idea to completion, WordPress was the right tool. It didn’t just teach me how to build a website or implement SEO. It taught me how to deliver real value to a client.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-conclusion"><strong>Conclusion</strong></h2>
<p>If I had to summarize what WordPress changed in my life, it would be that it helped me become more autonomous. It allowed me to take responsibility for entire projects and deliver complete value to clients, from idea to finished product. </p>
<p>It also exposed me to a much larger number of real-world projects, clients, and challenges. That volume of experience shaped my growth more than any single tool or role. More projects meant more conversations, more constraints and more responsibility. </p>
<p>In that sense, WordPress wasn’t just a tool for me. It helped me evolve from a designer and developer into a more complete professional. Someone able to understand problems, deliver outcomes, and think beyond individual tasks.</p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading" id="hrvatski"><strong>Pronalaženje autonomije kroz WordPress</strong></h1>
<figure class="wp-block-audio"><audio controls="controls" src="https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/3026/02/croatian.mp3"></audio><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Ovdje je hrvatska audioverzija Edovog eseja, pročitana njegovim vlastitim glasom.<br /></figcaption></figure>
<p>S WordPressom sam počeo raditi 2020. godine, na samom početku svoje profesionalne karijere. Pridružio sam se digitalnoj agenciji nakon što sam završio developerski bootcamp na kojem smo prošli osnove web razvoja te rad s JS-om, HTML-om i CSS-om. Isprva su me zaposlili kao frontend developera, ali se moja uloga ubrzo proširila na UX dizajn i WordPress.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-suocavanje-s-predrasudama"><strong>Suočavanje s predrasudama</strong></h2>
<p>U početku sam bio skeptičan prema WordPressu. U nekim developerskim krugovima na njega se gledalo s visoka. Imao sam dojam da će netko pomisliti kako radim s lakšim alatom, umjesto da radim stvari “kako treba”, kroz čisti kod.</p>
<p>Nakon početnog otpora, ta se percepcija promijenila. Počeo sam uživati u procesu. Prvo dizajn u Figmi, zatim implementacija kroz WordPress. Iako volim pisati kod, uvijek sam sebe doživljavao više kao vizualni tip nego kao klasičnog programera. Ovakav način rada mi je prirodno odgovarao.</p>
<p>U agenciji smo najčešće koristili Elementor. Imao je svoja ograničenja, ali prednosti su mi bile važnije. Mogućnost da relativno brzo implementiram animacije na scroll, razne interakcije i custom efekte, bez kompleksnog kodiranja, bila mi je konkretna vrijednost.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-promjena-perspektive"><strong>Promjena perspektive</strong></h2>
<p>Kako sam postajao sigurniji u WordPressu, prestao sam razmišljati isključivo iz dizajnerske ili frontend perspektive. Počeo sam sagledavati širu sliku. Postalo mi je jasnije kako su dizajnerske odluke povezane s poslovnim ciljevima i potencijalnim ograničenjima koje svaki projekt nosi sa sobom.</p>
<p>Također sam shvatio da više ne moram čekati druge da završe svoj dio posla. Dizajn nije završavao primopredajom, a implementacija nije stajala na frontendu. Mogao sam projekt iznijeti od početne ideje do potpuno gotove web stranice, bez da budem stručnjak za backend. WordPress mi je to omogućio.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-isporuka-cjelovite-vrijednosti"><strong>Isporuka cjelovite vrijednosti</strong></h2>
<p>Ta promjena utjecala je na moju ulogu više nego bilo koja titula. Potaknula me da se krenem baviti freelancingom. Radio sam na većim timskim WordPress projektima, ali i na manjima gdje sam samostalno vodio cijeli proces. Od prvog razgovora s klijentom do finalnog odobrenja. Počeo sam razumijevati kako dizajnerske odluke utječu na performanse, kako struktura sadržaja oblikuje SEO i kako vizualna kompleksnost utječe na brzinu učitavanja i održavanje.</p>
<p>Međutim, kako sam postajao iskusniji, širio se i opseg mog rada. Više nisam bio samo dizajner ili developer. S vremenom sam počeo razumijevati i poslovnu stranu projekata. Postalo mi je jasnije kako se web stranica uklapa u širu strategiju, kako podržava ciljeve klijenta i kako odluke utječu na dugoročnu vrijednost. WordPress mi je pomogao razviti strateški način razmišljanja. Pomaknuo sam se od operativnog izvršavanja zadataka prema razumijevanju šireg konteksta i donošenju odluka. Ta šira, poslovna perspektiva postala mi je jednako važna kao i sama tehnička izvedba.</p>
<p>Prvi put sam stvarno osjetio punu odgovornost kada sam samostalno razvio kompletnu web stranicu za jedan hotel, od početka do lansiranja web-a u produkciju. Osjećaj kada je stranica napokon otišla online bio je drugačiji. U timu uvijek postoji dijeljenje odgovornosti, podrška i zajedničke revizije. Ovdje je sve bilo na meni. Nije to bila samo kontribucija, nego vlasništvo nad cijelim procesom. Vidjeti tu stranicu online, za mene je jasno označilo tu promjenu.</p>
<p>Iako WordPress nije rješenje za svaki projekt i ima svoja ograničenja, meni je omogućio upravo ono što mi je tada bilo važno: autonomiju i mogućnost da isporučim cjelovit proizvod, od ideje do realizacije. Nije me samo naučio kako izraditi web stranicu ili optimizirati SEO, nego kako klijentu isporučiti stvarnu vrijednost.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-zakljucak"><strong>Zaključak</strong></h2>
<p>Ako moram istaknuti jednu stvar koju je WordPress promijenio u mom profesionalnom razvoju, rekao bih da mi je omogućio veću autonomiju. Dao mi je prostor da preuzmem odgovornost za cijeli projekt i isporučim potpunu vrijednost, od inicijalne ideje do finalnog proizvoda.</p>
<p>Uz to, otvorio mi je pristup većem broju stvarnih projekata, klijenata i izazova. Količina iskustva koju sam tako stekao oblikovala je moj rast više nego bilo koja pojedinačna uloga ili alat. Više projekata značilo je više različitih razgovora, ograničenja, odgovornosti i drugačijih prosudbi.</p>
<p>U tom smislu, WordPress nije bio samo alat. Bio je to način rada koji mi je omogućio da izađem iz okvira dizajnera i developera te razvijem sposobnost razumijevanja problema, preuzimanja odgovornosti i razmišljanja šire od pojedinačnog zadatka.</p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading" id="deutsch"><strong>Autonomie durch WordPress finden</strong></h1>
<figure class="wp-block-audio"><audio controls="controls" src="https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/3026/02/german.mp3"></audio><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Hier ist die deutsche Audioaufnahme des Essays von Edo, gelesen mit seiner eigenen Stimme.</figcaption></figure>
<p>Ich habe 2020 angefangen, mit WordPress zu arbeiten. Zu dieser Zeit stand ich am Anfang meiner beruflichen Karriere und trat einer Digitalagentur bei. Kurz zuvor hatte ich ein Developer-Bootcamp abgeschlossen, in dem wir Web-Grundlagen sowie die Basics von JS, HTML und CSS gelernt hatten. Ursprünglich wurde ich als Frontend Developer eingestellt, aber meine Rolle erweiterte sich schnell in Richtung UX Design und WordPress.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-vorurteile-uberwinden"><strong>Vorurteile überwinden</strong></h2>
<p>Zu Beginn war ich unsicher, ob ich mit WordPress arbeiten wollte. In Teilen der Entwickler-Community wurde es nicht besonders ernst genommen. Ich hatte das Gefühl, man würde mich weniger ernst nehmen, wenn ich mit einem „einfachen“ Tool arbeite, statt alles klassisch zu programmieren, da Coding als der „richtige“ Weg galt.</p>
<p>Anfangs habe ich mich dagegen gesträubt, mit WordPress zu arbeiten, aber mit der Zeit begann ich, die Arbeit damit zu genießen. Der Prozess bestand darin, Websites in Figma zu gestalten und anschließend mit WordPress umzusetzen. Obwohl ich gerne Code geschrieben habe, sah ich mich immer eher als visuellen Typ. Diese Arbeitsweise lag mir daher besonders.</p>
<p>In der Agentur haben wir hauptsächlich mit Elementor gearbeitet. Natürlich gab es Nachteile, aber für mich überwogen die Vorteile. Scroll-Animationen und individuelle Effekte ließen sich durch wenige Einstellungen umsetzen. Das fand ich sehr überzeugend.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-perspektivwechsel"><strong>Perspektivwechsel</strong></h2>
<p>Mit wachsender Erfahrung änderte sich mein Blickwinkel. Ich dachte nicht mehr nur aus Design- oder Frontend-Sicht, sondern begann, Zusammenhänge zu erkennen. Neben SEO verstand ich zunehmend, wie Designentscheidungen mit Geschäftszielen und realen Rahmenbedingungen verbunden sind.</p>
<p>Mir wurde auch klar, dass ich nicht mehr auf andere warten musste, um das Projekt zu Ende zu bringen. Design endete nicht mit der Übergabe, und die Umsetzung nicht beim Frontend. Ich konnte ein Projekt von der ersten Idee bis zur fertigen Website eigenständig führen, ohne Backend-Spezialist zu sein. WordPress machte das möglich.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ganzheitlichen-mehrwert-liefern"><strong>Ganzheitlichen Mehrwert liefern</strong></h2>
<p>Diese Entwicklung beeinflusste meine Rolle stärker als jede offizielle Bezeichnung. Sie war auch der Impuls, als Freelancer zu starten. Ich war an größeren Teamprojekten beteiligt, übernahm aber auch kleinere Projekte, bei denen ich für den gesamten Prozess verantwortlich war – vom ersten Kennenlerngespräch bis zur finalen Freigabe.</p>
<p>Ich verstand, wie Designentscheidungen die Performance beeinflussten, wie Inhaltsstrukturen sich auf SEO auswirkten und wie visuelle Komplexität Ladezeiten und Wartbarkeit beeinflusste.</p>
<p>Mit wachsender Erfahrung erweiterte sich auch mein Aufgabenbereich. Ich war nicht mehr nur Designer oder Developer. Ich begann, die geschäftliche Seite von Projekten zu verstehen: wie sich eine Website in eine übergeordnete Strategie einfügt, wie sie Unternehmensziele unterstützt und wie Entscheidungen langfristigen Wert beeinflussen. WordPress hat mir geholfen, strategischer zu denken und mich von rein operativer Arbeit zu lösen. Diese geschäftliche Perspektive wurde für mich genauso wichtig wie die technische Umsetzung.</p>
<p>Ein vollständiges Produkt liefern und den gesamten Prozess selbst tragen zu können, war für mich besonders wichtig, weil es meinem Bedürfnis nach Autonomie entsprach.</p>
<p>Der Moment, in dem ich erstmals die komplette Website eines Hotels eigenständig von Anfang bis Ende entwickelte, markierte einen Wendepunkt. Die Veröffentlichung fühlte sich anders an. Ich arbeite gern im Team, da man dort Feedback erhält. Doch hier trug ich die volle Verantwortung. Es war kein Beitrag zu einem Projekt, sondern die vollständige Verantwortung für das Ergebnis. Die Website live zu sehen, machte diesen Schritt für mich sehr deutlich.</p>
<p>Auch wenn WordPress nicht für jeden Anwendungsfall ideal ist und gewisse Kompromisse mit sich bringt, war es für mich das richtige Werkzeug. Ich habe dadurch nicht nur gelernt, wie man Websites baut oder SEO umsetzt, sondern auch, wie ich echten Mehrwert für Kunden schaffen kann.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-fazit"><strong>Fazit</strong></h2>
<p>Wenn ich zusammenfassen müsste, was WordPress in meiner beruflichen Entwicklung verändert hat, dann ist es vor allem die gewonnene Autonomie. Es gab mir die Möglichkeit, Projekte von der ersten Idee bis zum fertigen Produkt eigenständig umzusetzen und echten Mehrwert zu schaffen.</p>
<p>Zudem arbeitete ich an einer größeren Zahl realer Projekte mit unterschiedlichen Kunden und Anforderungen. Diese Erfahrung war für meine Entwicklung wichtiger als jedes einzelne Tool oder jede Positionsbezeichnung. Mehr Projekte bedeuteten mehr Gespräche, mehr Rahmenbedingungen und mehr Entscheidungen.</p>
<p>In diesem Sinne war WordPress für mich nicht nur ein Werkzeug. Es half mir, über die Rolle des Designers und Developers hinauszuwachsen, Probleme zu verstehen, Ergebnisse zu liefern und über einzelne Aufgaben hinauszudenken.</p>

To make a long story short, I pointed Claude Code at my <a href="https://www.sonos.com/">Sonos</a> setup in Houston: “All 29 Sonos speakers were running on WiFi with SonosNet completely disabled. They had accumulated ~89 million dropped packets across the system. That packet loss is why groups kept falling apart – Sonos grouping requires tight sync between speakers, and the WiFi was too congested to deliver it.”</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We had a wild rollercoaster where at one point it bricked several of my devices (green LED), got mixed up on some groupings being a home theater, and sent me all around the house plugging things in to ethernet or not. At one point, I was certain I’d have to redo everything from scratch. Then we came back and everything worked, I asked, “What song should we play to celebrate this accomplishment?”</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ha – has to be “The Chain” by Fleetwood Mac. Seems fitting given we just spent the evening fixing one. Want me to queue it up on the Gym/Office?</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It then failed horribly at trying to play that song, then, because it thought the speakers were re-meshing, it tried to play it on outdoor speakers, which would have surprised my neighbors at midnight. I ended up picking the song manually, and I must say it’s quite nice. I see why it’s easy to fall in love with these things, because the variable positive reinforcement slot machine cowboy hacking is honestly more fun than if it had just gotten it right on the first try.</p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Mon, 23 Feb 2026 07:58:57 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:4:"Matt";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:21:"

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="0-word-press-release-information">Developing Gutenberg and WordPress</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This week, <a href="https://wordpress.org/news/2026/02/wordpress-7-0-beta-1/"><strong>WordPress 7.0 Beta 1</strong></a> is ready for your testing on a staging or local site, please, not your live site. You can jump in via the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-beta-tester/">WordPress Beta Tester plugin,</a> a direct zip download, WP-CLI, or instantly through <a href="https://playground.wordpress.net/?php=8.3&wp=beta&networking=no&language=&multisite=no&random=r8nny4q18x">WordPress Playground</a> in your browser. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The most important feature coming to WordPress 7.0 is real-time collaboration, when more than one person can edit a post or page. Even for a single-person blogger this might be helpful when the proofreading buddy and the photographer can also be involved in editing different parts of a post. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The final release is scheduled for April 9, 2026. Bugs go to the Alpha/Beta support forums or Trac — your testing genuinely shapes what ships. The release post also has an overview of the other features coming to WordPress 7.0, there are quite a lot. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/releases/tag/v22.6.0-rc.1">Gutenberg 22.6 RC1</a> </strong>is also available for testing. Once released it introduces a new Icon block, lightbox support for the Gallery block (a personal favorite of mine), and renames the Verse block to Poetry. Next to improvements to the Navigation overlay and block visibility controls, it also features a new approach to revisions with visual change tracking and block awareness. The final release is planned for February 25, 2026.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Content for AI is a hot topic for news sites, especially since they rely on those ad views and sponsored posts, and AI is pulling snippets from their content. It’s a tough situation, and many sites are working hard to keep AI bots from crawling their pages. But here’s the thing: AI really loves quality, long-form content. If your site serves up unique, quality stuff for humans, then it’s also going to catch the attention of AI systems looking to help users with their questions. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If your site fits the bill, <strong>Maddy Osman</strong> has put together <a href="https://wordpress.com/blog/2026/02/16/ai-search-engine-optimization-wordpress/"><strong>9 Steps to Prepare Your WordPress Site for AI Search Engines</strong></a> as a practical guide for the era of ChatGPT and Google’s AI Mode. The good news: WordPress already has most of what AI systems need. You’ll learn to write answer-first content, use structured blocks, add schema markup, and manage your <code>robots.txt</code> — small, actionable tweaks that help your site surface in both traditional and AI-generated search results.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Carolina Nymark</strong> published two companion lessons on her Full Site Editing resource site. The <strong><a href="https://fullsiteediting.com/lessons/block-bindings-api/">Block Bindings API guide</a> </strong>walks you through connecting dynamic data—post meta, custom sources, and more—to core blocks like paragraphs, images, and buttons, potentially saving you from building custom blocks altogether. In her <a href="https://fullsiteediting.com/lessons/block-hooks-api/"><strong>Block Hooks API lesson</strong></a>, she shows you how plugins can automatically insert blocks into templates and patterns using PHP filters, with practical examples including WooCommerce and context-aware placement.</p>

The <code>data-wp-each</code> directive from the Interactivity API lets you build reactive lists — product catalogues, task lists, feeds — that update automatically when state changes, no manual DOM manipulation needed. You’ll learn how to coordinate PHP server-side rendering with JavaScript-derived state and implement advanced patterns like filtering, sorting, and pagination following WordPress best practices.</p>

She notes that in the block editor, users can make plain-language requests — adjust layouts, swap color palettes, rewrite copy — and see changes render in real time. Notes users can tag “@ai” for fact-checks or edits, and the media library gets image generation and editing too. Morey adds that the feature, powered by <em>Google’s Nano Banana</em> models, is available on Business and Commerce plans.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>AI security audit wave incoming</strong>: Expect AI tools to flood WordPress core and the 70,000+ plugin ecosystem with both improvements and newly discovered security vulnerabilities, requiring infrastructure to triage at scale.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Avoid vibe-coding compliance surfaces</strong>: For payments, fraud, and regulated commerce flows, prioritize battle-tested WooCommerce and vetted extensions over bespoke AI-generated code.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Reposition plugins around durable differentiation</strong>: If AI collapses “nice-to-have” features (e.g., basic image manipulation), shift value to workflow ownership, integrations, compliance, performance, and support.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Agencies gain leverage, not obsolescence</strong>: AI tools give motivated technical people 10-100x capability increases, meaning agencies can serve existing clients far better rather than being replaced by DIY site builders.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Sell outcomes, not hours, as an agency</strong>: Client expectations will compress delivery timelines; adapt pricing to value-based packaging and use AI internally to raise throughput and QA coverage.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Design for agentic usability</strong>: Strengthen APIs, WP-CLI, and machine-friendly interfaces so personal agents can safely operate WordPress tasks without brittle UI automation.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>WordPress Playground enables AI verification</strong>: Spinning up fully containerized WordPress instances in 20-45 seconds inside browsers allows AI to test code across 20+ environments simultaneously, fundamentally changing plugin compatibility testing.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Benchmark AI outputs against WordPress-specific evals</strong>: Adopt WordPress block, plugin, and site-generation evaluations to catch “small file” failures (readme, headers, packaging) that break deployments.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Prioritize compatibility testing by real-world co-install patterns</strong>: Reduce factorial plugin-combination risk by sampling tests based on which plugins are commonly used together and automating those paths.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Plugin directory needs editorial curation</strong>: With submissions accelerating toward 100,000+ plugins, WordPress will introduce editorial spotlights on newer plugins with excellent code/design to balance discoverability with marketplace openness.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Improve plugin discoverability without freezing innovation</strong>: Curate “trusted” and “high quality” signals while preserving pathways for new entrants to earn distribution through measurable excellence.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Plan for uneven economic diffusion</strong>: Even with today’s models, enterprise adoption lags consumer usage; build internal enablement and governance now so teams can scale impact as tooling matures.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Learning to learn beats domain expertise</strong>: When advising students/parents, the most future-proof skills are curiosity-driven learning, command of language, and study of classics/philosophy/ethics rather than specific technical domains.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>WordPress 7.0 promises AI integration</strong>: The upcoming release will feature “lots of fun AI stuff” and represents one of the most exciting technology years in Matt’s career since starting in the industry.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I had no idea that <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-code-security">today Anthropic would release their security thing that does exactly what I said</a>.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The best thing you’ll read about AI engineering today is <a href="https://www.modular.com/blog/the-claude-c-compiler-what-it-reveals-about-the-future-of-software">Chris Lattner’s take on Claude’s C compiler implementation</a>. To steal Techmeme’s headline: “Claude’s C Compiler shows AI elevates the role of human judgment and vision; it’s a milestone, but closely mirrors LLVM/GCC, and hard codes things to pass tests.” The entire post is important, but this paragraph is particuluarly profound:</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> As writing code is becoming easier, designing software becomes more important than ever. As custom software becomes cheaper to create, the real challenge becomes choosing the right problems and managing the resulting complexity. I also see big open questions about who is going to maintain all this software.</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To bring this back to WordPress: While I was in another meeting today, Claude Code with Opus 4.6 completed a cleanroom implementation of the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/">ACF plugin</a> in about 45 minutes. It was about to go off and implement all the pro features, but I stopped it because it would be a tremendous waste of tokens. The entire point of open source is collaborating on a shared goal rather than reinventing the wheel every time.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We’ve seen a slow version of this play out over the past decade, where every single web host that offers WordPress also spun up some sort of proprietary website or ecommerce builder. Bless their hearts. None has caused Shopify any lost nights of sleep. With countless person-years of development and who knows how many tens or hundreds of millions of dollars spent, I think we can now safely say that all of these efforts have had at most a marginal impact on their businesses, while the benefits of WordPress have continued to compound. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The thought experiment of whether <a href="https://wordpress.org/five-for-the-future/">those same resources had been used to make WordPress better</a> is left as an exercise for the reader.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It does mean that competition is fiercer. You have to differentiate yourself on performance, customer service, reliability, design—things that are hard, but that’s capitalism.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s really important that <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/">in the plugin directory</a>, we figure out how to make it easier for people to collaborate and build things together, rather than make a thousand versions of the same thing.</p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Sat, 21 Feb 2026 00:04:00 +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:"Matt";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:21:"

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What’s new in WordPress 7.0?</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress 7.0 boasts numerous upgrades in the editing and admin experience, delivering enhanced real time collaboration, refined customizability, new dashboard styles, and an expanded developer toolbox for people who create, design, and build with WordPress every day.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Working as a team just got easier with the ability for multiple users to edit together in real time, while visual revisions allow a visual comparison between page versions, adding agility to the creation and review process. Working with patterns has been simplified, making layout updates and content changes more intuitive, while view transitions smoothly move you from screen to screen as you click.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">New and improved blocks and design features in 7.0 make sites more customizable, with video embed backgrounds in the Cover block, a responsive-enabled Grid block, and new Icons, Breadcrumbs and Heading blocks. An updated Navigation block makes menu changes easier and more reliable in fewer steps. Responsive, mobile-friendly controls in 7.0 allow you to hide or reveal blocks based on screen size, while client-side media handling speeds up media processing. The Font Library screen for managing installed fonts is now enabled for all themes, so site editors are always able to browse, install, and organize fonts. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For developers, it’s now easier to build modern experiences while staying aligned with Core principles. The new WP AI Client in WordPress 7.0 brings a layer into Core that allows leveraging of AI models from any provider within the WordPress framework. This means plugins and themes can tap into any AI model to expound on its endless options. 7.0 offers even more versatility with the Client Side Abilities API that introduces a standardized way to register and run “abilities” in the browser, supporting richer, more consistent workflows. Additionally, 7.0 introduces PHP-only block registration with auto-generated inspector controls, adding a new dimension to block creation, while Block Bindings updates for pattern overrides expands support to custom dynamic blocks, giving block creators more options.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Needless to say, this release offers a wide range of flexibility to creators, teams and developers, while bringing a visual refresh to the admin experience you know and love with a fresh default style.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Work together in real time</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Building on the momentum started in WordPress 6.9, the ability for teams to create and edit together is more refined and robust in 7.0. With this version of WordPress multiple users can edit and collaborate on the same post or page in real time, with data syncing and stabilized notes for smoother teamwork and a more streamlined editing and review process.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Real Time Collaboration: Teams can now edit posts and pages together live from multiple locations, with offline editing and data syncing enabled, and a new default HTTP polling sync provider with options for plugins or hosts to include websocket support. With this collaborative content creation workflow, teams can brainstorm more effectively and boost productivity. For the beta period, real-time collaboration is opt-in in order to get broader feedback and testing.</li>
<li>Notes: 7.0 introduces real time syncing of notes that helps facilitate collaboration, a keyboard shortcut for new notes, and a series of quality-focused fixes that bring more stability to the Notes feature.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Refined Admin Experience</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress 7.0 gives the wp-admin experience a boost with a fresh default color scheme, and a cleaner, more modern looking dashboard, while keeping the interface familiar. The upgraded dashboard enhances the editing experience with new visual revision comparisons, and smooth transitioning between screens.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Visual Revisions: Working with revisions is even better in 7.0 with the added ability to make visual comparisons to revision versions within the editor.</li>
<li>View transitions: Cross-document view transitions in the dashboard offer visual continuity with seamless movement from screen to screen.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Customizing content with ease</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Creators have more flexibility in 7.0 with new tools for content and design, enhanced editing controls, and attention to mobile friendliness. </p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Responsive Editing Mode: Block visibility is now more responsive and mobile-friendly, with the ability for blocks to be displayed or hidden based on screen size. </li>
<li>Pattern Editing and contentOnly interactivity: WordPress 7.0 introduces pattern-level editing modes, a tree view for buttons and list blocks, and the ability to opt out of the default content only mode. The new Spotlight mode helps you isolate content in patterns and notes, while the Isolated Editor mode can be used for editing symbols and reusable pieces like synced patterns, template parts, or navigation. </li>
<li>Block supports and design tools: 7.0 includes text line indent support, text column support, aspect ratios for wide and full images, dimension width and height support, and dimension presets, tools and controls.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New blocks and design options at your fingertips</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">7.0 delivers a series of new and improved blocks and block features, a streamlined navigation workflow, and more versatile design options like video embeds as section backgrounds.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Navigation Block: Navigation workflow is now more intuitive and clear, with improved editing and presentation. 7.0 introduces customizable navigation overlays as template parts, including mobile version overlays that can be hidden or revealed based on custom breakpoint settings. </li>
<li>Heading Block: Heading levels are now available as block variations, giving more control over page hierarchy and design.</li>
<li>New blocks: 7.0 makes building pages more diverse with new Breadcrumbs and Icons blocks.</li>
<li>Cover block embedded videos: Video embeds can now be used as a background in the cover block, opening up opportunities for sleeker and more creative designs.</li>
<li>The Grid block is now responsive-enabled allowing grid-based layouts to adapt more smoothly across screen sizes.</li>
<li>The Gallery block now has lightbox support that lets the user click through and view each gallery image.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Developer’s toolbox</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Working with WordPress on the backend is now more robust for developers, with new and enhanced API features that support flexibility and lay a foundation for future advancements. The Client Side Abilities API provides a client-side registry for WordPress capabilities that allows you to tap into new and innovative website options. WordPress 7.0 offers even more by introducing the Web Client AI API to Core, enabling access to generative AI models in one central interface.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Web Client AI API: The new AI client and API acts as a command center for accessing and communicating with generative AI models, with providers remaining external to WordPress Core, and Abilities API integration.</li>
<li>Abilities and Workflows API: With the new client side abilities package users have access to new and hybrid abilities, filter and search functionality for abilities, and an improved command palette and UI.</li>
<li>Blocks and patterns created on the server: WordPress 7.0 boasts the ability for PHP-only blocks and patterns to be generated server-side and auto-registered with the Block API.</li>
<li>DataForm: Introducing a new details layout, new controls (combobox, adaptiveSelect), and updated trigger for panel layout (dedicated edit button). Additionally, the initial iteration for validation is complete: all controls have support, and all layouts display error messages.</li>
<li>DataViews: DataViews has a new activity layout, and a foundation has been laid to be able to register 3rd party types in future releases.</li>
<li>CodeMirror update: CodeMirror has been updated to version 5.65.40, aiding more flexible extensibility and library options.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Media processing in the browser</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress 7.0 introduces Client-side media processing, leveraging the browser’s capabilities to handle tasks, like image resizing and compression, for smoother image processing. This enables the use of more advanced image formats and compression techniques, and reduces demand on the web server; providing a more efficient media handling process for both new and existing content, and supporting smoother media workflows.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With so many options and enhancements in WordPress 7.0 Beta 1, this is still only the beginning. You can expect future releases to be even better.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Just for you: a Beta 1 haiku:</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>As sun kisses moon</em>,</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:00:19] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Welcome to the Jukebox podcast from WP Tavern. My name is Nathan Wrigley.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jukebox is a podcast which is dedicated to all things WordPress. The people, the events, the plugins, the blocks, the themes, and in this case, redefining WordPress product growth in a crowded ecosystem.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’d like to subscribe to the podcast, you can do that by searching for WP Tavern in your podcast player of choice, or by going to wptavern.com/feed/podcast, and you can copy that URL into most podcast players.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you have a topic that you’d like us to feature on the podcast, I’m keen to hear from you and hopefully get you, or your idea, featured on the show. Head to wptavern.com/contact/jukebox, and use the form there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So on the podcast today we have Matt Cromwell. Matt has been an influential figure in the WordPress ecosystem for many years. He co-founded GiveWP, led its growth, and continued his journey as part of the StellarWP leadership after it was acquired.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Recently, Matt has shifted gears, launching something new. It’s called Roots and Fruit, and is an agency dedicated to helping WordPress product businesses thrive. In recent years, WordPress has gone through a period of flux. There’s been shifting stats about WordPress’s market share, tightening budgets, and increasing competition from both within and outside the.org plugin repo. Despite these changes, Matt remains optimistic about the opportunities for product makers, especially as WordPress evolves alongside emerging technologies like AI.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Matt starts off by sharing his background, his experience with GiveWP, and the unique perspective he gained navigating growth, crisis, and the challenges facing plugin developers. We then talk about how the WordPress product space has matured. Why building a plugin, or theme, and hoping users will simply discover it is no longer enough, and how focusing on the customer journey, branding, and marketing is more crucial than ever.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Matt is now positioning himself as a mentor and guide for solo founders and product teams, helping them prioritize growth efforts, refine their product experience, and avoid the scattered approach that many developers fall into. He brings practical insights from years of hand-on experience, and explains why a successful WordPress product business relies on process, diligence, and wise prioritization, not just code and hope.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so without further delay, I bring you Matt Cromwell.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I am joined on the podcast by Matt Cromwell. Hello, Matt.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:22] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Hi. Happy to be here.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:24] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Matt and I have chatted many times. In fact, we were having a nice chat just before we realised that the time was going to get away from us. So we’ve diverted and pressed record. We were getting into AI, but we’re going to park that because that’s a whole different episode. Well, maybe not. Maybe there’ll be bits of that leaking into this episode.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:39] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> It’ll come up.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:39] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I’m sure it will. But as I say, Matt’s been on the podcast before. He has had a significant sort of reshaping of his career in the recent past. And so we’re going to talk a little bit about what the new direction is, and where he’s going to be focusing his efforts in the near to long term.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But Matt, just before we begin, do you want to tell us a little bit about you and what you’ve been doing in the WordPress space these many years?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:04:01] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Absolutely. Thanks so much. I’m Matt Cromwell. I am was, it’s hard to figure out how to introduce myself anymore. I was co-founder of GiveWP and sold that product in 2021 to Liquid Web and stayed on and came on the leadership team of what became StellarWP, and took all the things I learned from Give and got to apply them across lots of products, in an excellent learning journey.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Recently exited back this last fall, 2025, and went on a journey of discovering in what I want to do, and found that I could not prime myself away from the keyboard enough and decided that now’s the time I get to invest my time and efforts and energy in the WordPress product ecosystem like I always have. So I built a new agency called Roots & Fruit, which I have basically said is your fractional chief growth officer agency. I just launched a couple weeks ago and it’s going well. So that’s what I’m doing. That’s how I say it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:05:02] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, I love the domain, by the way. The minute I saw that, I think I got where you were going without even having read a word. Roots & Fruit sort of says it all, doesn’t it? It’s the growth to the actual harvesting at the end. And so we will get into that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Can I just ask you though, we’ll begin this way because we’ve had several years now of flux in the WordPress ecosystem. You have charted the growth of many products in the WordPress space. You’ve been involved in them personally, and you’ve seen the journeys of other founders and what have you.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Do you have the same level of optimism that the Matt Cromwell, let’s say from the year 2020, when everything was going gangbusters, that 35% went to 38%, went to 40%, and on it went. Do you have the same level of optimism? Do you think there still is fruit to be harvested in the WordPress space in 2026?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:05:59] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Absolutely I do. There’s a lot of caveats in there, I have to say. Being at GiveWP, we had a unique perspective when it came to things like a pandemic. It was like an internal thing where we were afraid of becoming ambulance chasers, okay? Because, especially in the US, when a crisis would come, suddenly our sales would go through the roof. And it’s because when bad things happen, people need to do fundraising. And the worst thing we wanted to do was start capitalising on trauma or things like that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so when COVID came along, we were like, woah, this is going to be significant. And it was. It was a very significant thing. But we had been through the motions, so we knew that it was going to have a downside on the tail end of it, sales-wise. And I think a lot of folks understood that conceptually as well. But we had experienced it a lot.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But what a lot of folks found out on the tail side of COVID was that the downside was worse than it was pre COVID. A lot of folks felt that, even GiveWP to some extent and several of the Stellar products were like, oh, we’ve leveled out, we’ve come down off of the COVID high, and actually it feels a little bit worse than it was before. Budgets got tight in terms of businesses and agencies, nonprofits, things like that. There’s lots of circumstances to those things. But over the last year or so, a lot of product companies have started to see things start to slowly climb again.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But in the WordPress space, I think it’s important that everybody also look at our ecosystem in the bigger ecosystem of just the web. On the web there are small to medium to large companies launching all the time with huge amounts of success. Just a couple years ago, nobody knew what Lovable was. Now it’s a billion dollar company. Things like that do happen and they happen regularly. That to me means there is still lots of appetite for the kinds of solutions that we are trying to bring to the world through the web. And we can be part of that solution.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, the conversation you and I had a little bit before was more about like, what about WordPress and the threat or the opportunity of AI? I do think the way in which WordPress Core has been tackling AI and trying to bring tooling into WordPress Core is making sure that WordPress itself as a platform has not only a future, but it has a lucrative future. I think the way that they’re going about it is really smart and really intelligent, and it is going to actually build the platform in a way that makes AI understand how to build with WordPress better than anything else out there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WordPress is the most, one of the most documented, open source projects in the world, and it’s been open source this whole time, and AI loves that kind of stuff. So it just has been able to scrape the WordPress database, the WordPress code, all the WordPress documentation over years and years and years. AI now knows WordPress really, really, really well. So I think there’s lots of opportunity.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:09:07] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, no, it’s really great because you covered a lot of ground there. I should say, dear listener, at this point, maybe go and have a look at Matt’s domain. I mentioned it, but I’ll just read it into the record. So it’s Roots with an S. Roots and fruit singular, .com, rootsandfruit.com. So go and check that out. Maybe pause the podcast if you’re at a screen and.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:09:28] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Singular and plural.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:09:29] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Both. Yeah, you’ve managed to get all the goodness in there. Go and pause the podcast and have a little poke around and you’ll get some intuition as to what Matt is doing over there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’m going to sort of sidestep a little bit though, because I want to frame this question slightly differently, and that is to, I’ll frame it like this. I, as a consumer of WordPress things, I’ve spent the last 15 or so years pottering around, having a problem, then going to Google and discovering that there’s typically a WordPress plugin or theme or what have you, for that. And then I go to their website and perhaps there’s two or three websites that I might be juggling and thinking which one is superior for the needs that I have. And then I purchase something, you know, I go and I buy a premium version of something or maybe download the free version to give it a test.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But the point is, I have this really abstracted concept of what it is. I’m buying a commodity. So I buy the finished thing and it comes as a zip file, and I typically don’t interact with a human being. And that’s the interesting bit that I want to get into to begin with, is the human behind all of this, which was you for many years.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so can we just explore that a little bit? What is the stuff that somebody like you, when you were with GiveWP, but maybe now the clients that you are going to be servicing, what is their day involved with? What do these people do? What are the anxieties they have? What is the stuff that makes up a plugin or theme developer’s life and business?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:10:55] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Generally speaking, product folks are nerds, love to be behind the screen. And they like this kind of industry, specifically because they don’t have to be the person dealing with the customer as much. That distance that goes between the screen basically, is something that gives them a sense of safety, where they get to focus on the work that they love and they enjoy, without having to deal with the noise of the people.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The exception to that are all the folks that are highly motivated to help with technical support. And I love those people. Those are my people. My focus as a founder was more on the customer support and marketing side of things, so I enjoyed being more of the face of things for our brands over the years.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But the allure there is both being able to have that separation from the noise of the public, but also having a little bit of the security of what might be called mildly passive income. And that’s the big difference between folks who are running an agency and folks who love to run product. Agencies are service oriented folks. They have to be with the customer and the client all the time. You are paying for hours. You’re being paid for the time that you put in, in many ways. With agency service work, there’s ways to get away from just purely time-based charging, but by and large.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the product space, you’re not being paid for the time you put in. You’re being paid for the product, and for the outcomes that the customer experiences. And that’s what you bought Nathan, when you went and bought a utility or a tool or whatnot. You weren’t looking to hire a person, you were looking for a specific outcome on your website, and you felt that that one product could provide you that outcome. And once you had that outcome, you’re happy.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And that’s exactly why product shops are, in my mind, have to be customer oriented first because all of the success, all of the success of the product, of the marketing, of the business, all starts with whether or not the customer is happy.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:13:05] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah. We have this expression in the English language which is, a rising tide carries all boats. And essentially what it means is, when there’s this sort of groundswell of growth, everything touching it grows. And I think we had that in all sorts of ways recently, over the last decade or so.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The mobile phone app ecosystem, that just was taking off and all the developers over there were doing incredibly well. Same with the WordPre���� �4 � �)
� ?� �ss space. Just year on year growth. And so there was this notion, which you reference on your website quite a lot, of build it and they will come. And that phrase essentially is, okay, I am one of those people. You said, nerds.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’m going to build a product, and I have a complete expectation that I am part of that rising tide. I’m one of the boats. I’ll build this thing, I’ll mention it a few times on social media, and this thing that I’ve spent hours and hours doing will take off and I will be able to have some kind of passive income from it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, I don’t know when you started saying that those days were gone, but you are definitely saying those days are gone. Why are those days gone? What happened? What changed to make it so that the rising tide carries all boats analogy, possibly no longer fits?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:14:17] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> It depends on the context. I mean, it fits in several different ways. But when it comes to product in the WordPress space nowadays, we used to depend so much on the wordpress.org plugin, or theme, directory as a primary outlet for discoverability. I want people to find that I exist and that I am a solution for their problems, and this is where you find me.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The plugin directory in particular, when we launched GiveWP, I think there were 30,000 plugins at the time, or approaching 30,000. And now there’s over 60, and they are growing every day more or less. They grow and they shrink. They get rid of plugins too, actually. But that does increase the amount of surface area where you have to break through in order to be found. If you try to be an AI alt text generator right now, good luck. There are three dozen of those that got shipped yesterday. It’s crazy.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But even more so than just the noise and the volume on the plugin directory, it’s also that the consumers that are building their websites, they are not thinking about WordPress as much anymore. They’re building with WordPress, but they kind of don’t care that it’s WordPress. They’re just building a website. They have specific outcomes and they know that there are lots of products out there that can serve their needs, and they don’t care if it’s a SaaS, or a platform, or a plugin, or a theme. They don’t care. They’re just going to look for that outcome and they’re going to plug it into their website in one form or another, if that solution is pluggable.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And that space, the SaaS space in particular, has gotten a lot more crowded and a lot more competitive for being applied directly to the WordPress customer. So we’re not just competing WordPress to WordPress, we’re competing WordPress to the rest of the whole world.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:16:18] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, that’s interesting. So my analogy, when I said a rising tide carries all boats, what I’m imagining 10 years ago is that there was a really nice looking harbor with a few little boats. And the tide came up and these little boats just bobbed along and they all rose up. Whereas now it feels like the harbor is just chockablock. There’s boats cheek by jowl with other boats. They’re slamming into each other. And instead of it being a gentle rise, it’s stormy, clouds. The sea is choppy all over the place, and everything is sort of bumping into each other.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In other words, it’s saturated. If you are going to be doing the alt text plugin for AI, well, there were six that came out this morning. There’s going to be nine more by the time we close the doors this evening. Whatever it is that you are doing in the WordPress space, chances are somebody’s already done it. They may already have an existing audience. They may already have paid subscribers.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So this all sounds very bleak. It sounds like we’ve got no way out of this. But your endeavor, what you want to turn your attention to in the years to come, is to persuade people that’s not the case. So what is the rainbow? What is the shining light on the horizon? How would a plugin developer, a theme developer, somebody in the WordPress space, how do they cut through all of this and get noticed?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:17:28] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Yeah. A lot of things have changed over the years, but I would say the majority of things, when it comes to digital products, have not changed. And that’s really the brass tacks of what it takes to be a winning product on the web in general. SaaS companies have known this for a really long time because they didn’t have the obvious distribution channel of wordpress.org that we have.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So they knew if they were going to ship a product, they’re going to have to market it a ton. In the SaaS space, there’s very, very, very few just handy developers who are like, hey, I just built this cool thing, I’ll just put it out there. And then all of a sudden it just goes off like crazy. It doesn’t work that way, and they know it. And so they partner up with marketers.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And in the WordPress space, for way too long, we got lazy because we had the .org distribution channel. And we assumed that we could build it and people would come. And that’s not like one hundred percent wrong. The directory is still a good tool, and it’s still helpful, and I love the freemium model for products in general. But the thing that WordPress product folks in particular have to learn is to learn how to be a product business, not a code business.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And that’s even more significant now that everyone is learning that code was never the product, because now nobody is building with code anymore. The humans do not build the code anymore. The machines build the code. And you’ll find lots of marketers or CX folks who are building their own apps now as well because they’re savvy enough to use the tools to be able to generate the code that they need and that they want.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:19:11] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Can I just pause for a second there Matt, is that all right? Just because there’s a couple of things that you said, and clearly for you it’s common knowledge. You know, you’ve been in and out of this all the whole time. You painted a strong definition there between a product and code. What’s the boundary between those two things? I mean, I think I can encapsulate, I just want to be clear that the audience know. What’s the difference between product and code businesses, if you know what I mean?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:19:33] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Let’s go back to when you said, I’m building my website and I have a problem that needs to be solved, and I see this plugin and it solves my problem. And I installed it, or I bought it and I installed it and it worked. That process that you went through, all of those things that you said, you never once said, I inspected the code to figure out if it was good enough or not. You never once said that. All of the things that convinced you to use that product had nothing to do with the code at all.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You went to the website and there was marketing involved that told you that we know what your problem is, and we know how to solve it. And there was a checkout experience that was calm and soothing enough and giving you enough confidence that they’re not just stealing your money. Then you installed the product and there was a user experience involved that made you feel like it’s actually going to solve your problem, and then it did actually solve your problem. All of those things cannot happen without code, but that is what a product does. And that’s a product experience, is the whole entire customer journey that happens from discovery, to purchase, to adoption is what a product is actually made of.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:20:43] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So I’m going to infer from that then that from the year 2026 and onwards, what you are saying is that the focus now needs to be on the product. More than ever, the product and the way that you market the product and the way that you pitch the product, and all of the things that wrap around the sales process and the discovery process of the product. That’s where a significant amount of the effort needs to go once the code is in place. Have I parsed that correctly?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:21:11] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Yeah, I might even go at it from the perspective of the customer because you only understand the product when you look at that whole thing through the lens of the customer. If you think about everything from, oh, I can build that, I just need to pipe these APIs and do this kind of thing, and then you get the outcome, it’s like, well that’s not really what the customer’s ever going to experience.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They’re going to experience a website first. They’re going to try to have trust first. Look at the whole thing through the customer lens and then you’ll start to understand your product. I mean, you’ll understand your brand in the first place. A lot of WordPress folks don’t think about brand particularly well either. They just name it like Advanced Custom Fields. Now, I love that product. It’s a great, but it’s one of those things where like, let’s just name it what it is. Okay, I guess.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:22:04] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So this is really interesting. So presumably then, if product is the way forward, it feels like you have now kind of invented a new career angle for yourself where you are going to hopefully kind of helicopter yourself in, or be helicoptered in, to businesses who maybe have got this product bit missing. You know, there are bits of that they, I don’t know, maybe they feel that they’re weak on that, or that past endeavors haven’t really worked out. Or maybe they’re at the first step of that journey and they just want to try and figure out what direction they should point themselves in to have some success.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So that’s kind of interesting. That’s the role that you are going to be taking on in the future. And I can see you nodding. Dear listener, he’s nodding away, so that’s good. But, do you have like a one size fits all template here, or is the endeavor very much to be, okay, I’m going to go in, have a long listen, figure out how you differ from the other people that are on my roster? There’s not really a question in there, but I’m kind of asking you how you are going to position yourself for the different clients that you’re no doubt going to be taking on.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:23:06] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Yeah, yeah, Well, one thing I’ll caveat a little bit is I’m trying to position myself towards two related audiences. The primary one, for the fractional CGO, is the teams. Product shops that are a team of people. A small team, medium sized team. They’ve built something, it’s successful, they are paying employees, but they’re looking for that next level up, in order to start growing into what they hope to be, more sustainable growth in the long term.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The other one is what I call the solo lab, where I am trying to position more towards solo individual founders who are by themselves and maybe just got their product out the door and are trying to grow from the ground up. That’s more of like a coaching environment and it’s a group environment and things like that. But both of them are, it’s not that there’s a, I don’t believe really in playbooks. I don’t believe in silver bullets. I believe in process and diligence.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And that’s what I am trying to bring in both of those circumstances is I help the solo folks understand the type of activities that they have to force themselves to do. The solo folks typically are very dev oriented. They know how to build more things. And if you ask them to write a blog post, they’re like, okay, I’ll do that tomorrow and tomorrow never comes. You know, helping them to focus on the work that they have to do to grow their product.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While the teams, it’s more generally about, they have founders who have done all the things. They have been the dev, they have been the HR lead, they have been the marketer, they have been the support guru. They’ve done all of it, and they’re just tired. And they need the growth but there’s just a missing gap. They need somebody to kind of put on the hat of, you are going to be responsible for finding growth in this team, so that that founder can focus more on other parts, the things that energise them more.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:24:59] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I’m curious as to whether or not, when you were doing the busy work of being at GiveWP and then StellarWP, whether you drew the intuitions that you are now going to be helping people with. Whether you were aware of this in your head, or it was just the busy work that you were doing. You know, day in, day out, you do this task and over the decade or more that you were doing it, you just kind of perfected it. And, okay, when this thing arises, I do this thing. And when this thing arises, I do this thing.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now I expect you’re in that curious position where you are having to lift yourself away from the whole process, stare back at it, and sort of examine how you would do it with a third party. Again, there’s no real question there, but I’m curious as to how different that is for you being the outsider, but relying on the insider knowledge that you must have acquired over time.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:25:49] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Yeah. I think that’s one of the reasons why I felt a certain amount of confidence in moving in this direction is because I’m helping people that are in the position I was in years ago. I’ve been there and I have done that, and I have absolutely failed. And I don’t have a perfect record or a perfect playbook, but I know what it’s like, and I have done the hard work to see successes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I think what also makes my experience a little bit unique is that I had the experience of GiveWP and I honestly, going into being acquired and working at Liquid Web, I had that whole feeling of like, what if I’m a one hit wonder? What if I like did a great job with Give, but I try to apply this anywhere else and it just is like, well you got lucky with Give, that doesn’t work anywhere else? And it turns out that most of the things that I learned can be applied to other products with success as well. It does give me a fair amount of confidence that I do believe I can be helpful with these other shops.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:26:50] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> You’re not sort of saying there’s a formula, you know, that kind of snake oil mentality. But there are wise things to do and less wise things to do. Let’s just put it that way. And by repeating the wise things over and over again, you give yourself kind of a fighting.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:27:05] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Yeah, and there’s a process and there’s also the ability to form smart prioriti�4�)L%H� � �R
� ?� �es. That’s, I think, a lot of what I’m trying to help provide is being able to help founders learn how to say no to a lot of things. Because sometimes, especially when it comes to anything that’s growth oriented or marketing oriented, we see a million opportunities. And so then we start dabbling in all the things because we don’t know what else to do.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We’re like, oh, there’s like, I can go and jump into Reddit and find a whole bunch of leads, or I can like spend a bunch of time on LinkedIn, or I could write a whole bunch of really good emails, or I can maybe do a paid ad campaign. And then we start doing just like a million small things. But that doesn’t lead to growth, you know? So the ability to prioritise around growing rather than noise and activity.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:27:57] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I think it’s just really nice to be able to put down the scatter gun. You know, that thing that you’re firing tiny pellets in a million different directions. But you put the scatter gun down because somebody says, put the gun down because that’s not effective, and here’s why it’s not effective, and here’s some things that you could do to try which might be more effective.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There’s just something nice in listening to the words of wisdom coming out of somebody else’s mouth who’s obviously been there, done that. It’s kind of hard to put that into words, but just knowing that somebody’s got your back, and that somebody’s been through that before. And the million, gazillion little things that you are trying without a great deal of success are things that you can put away and listen to your advice.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I feel that you’ve hit a real vein of, well, let’s go fruit. You’ve got that in the title of your business. And the reason I say that, and I’ve said this in this podcast a few times before, it really does feel like there are an awful lot of people who have done the code side of things in our ecosystem. They are, as you’ve described, you know, you used the word nerd or something like that. They have built this thing with very little thought for the business side of it because WordPress, for many people, has been like this sort of hobby thing, this passive income thing, this side gig kind of thing. But they don’t know how to do it. And I get email, no doubt you get email, and certainly will be getting email, about this kind of thing. And so I feel that there is a real undercurrent of people who hopefully will tap into your service. Let’s hope so anyway.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:29:29] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> Yeah, let’s hope so. So far, so good. I’ve already secured a couple folks.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:29:33] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> In which case, we’re sort of around the half an hour mark, which is exactly perfect. So I will just point the people to the domain once more. It is rootsandfruit.com. Go check that out. Where would we find you, apart from the contact us form, which no doubt exists on that website? Where might we find you elsewhere online, Matt?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:29:52] <strong>Matt Cromwell:</strong> I have been on LinkedIn a lot. So look for Matt Cromwell on LinkedIn. You can also look for Roots & Fruit on LinkedIn. That’s kind of where I prefer, but I’m also on the nefarious x.com as learnwithmattc.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the podcast today we have <a href="https://rootsandfruit.com">Matt Cromwell</a>.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Matt has been an influential figure in the WordPress ecosystem for many years. He co-founded GiveWP, led its growth, and continued his journey as part of the StellarWP leadership after it was acquired. Recently, Matt has shifted gears, launching something new. It’s called Roots and Fruit, and is an agency dedicated to helping WordPress product businesses thrive.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In recent years, WordPress has gone through a period of flux. There’s been shifting stats about WordPress’ market share, tightening budgets, and increasing competition from both within and outside the .org plugin repo. Despite these changes, Matt remains optimistic about the opportunities for product makers, especially as WordPress evolves alongside emerging technologies like AI.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Matt starts off by sharing his background, his experience with GiveWP, and the unique perspective he gained navigating growth, crisis, and the challenges facing plugin developers. We then talk about how the WordPress product space has matured, why building a plugin or theme and hoping users will simply discover it is no longer enough, and how focusing on the customer journey, branding, and marketing is more crucial than ever.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Matt is now positioning himself as a mentor and guide for solo founders and product teams, helping them prioritise growth efforts, refine their product experience, and avoid the scattered approach that many developers fall into. He brings practical insights from years of hands-on experience, and explains why a successful WordPress product business relies on process, diligence, and wise prioritisation, not just code and hope.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re building digital products in WordPress and want to learn how to make them stand out in a crowded, competitive ecosystem, this episode is for you.</p>

Carolina Nymark introduces herself as a long-time WordPress core committer and theme bundle maintainer, explaining her role in triaging, testing, and updating default themes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They highlight key updates in the Gutenberg plugin and developer resources, such as enhanced plugin settings page creation, streamlined theme development using WordPress Playground and GitHub, and new tools for AI integration. The hosts dive into major Gutenberg enhancements: block visibility controls now let users tailor which blocks appear on various devices, custom CSS can be applied to individual blocks in posts, and image cropping has become more intuitive. Pattern editing is stabilized, improving content-only editing and preventing accidental layout changes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Notable new features include a dedicated fonts page in the appearance menu, improvements to navigation (like mobile overlays and submenu options), a responsive grid block, enhanced breadcrumbs and tabs blocks, and greater customization in the query and image blocks. They touch on the growing importance of collaborative tools—real-time editing and notes within WordPress—and mention plans for visual revision comparisons.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Throughout, Birgit Pauli-Haack and Carolina Nymark stress community involvement, feedback, and testing as crucial for these features’ success. The episode wraps up with encouragement to try the new capabilities, share feedback, and a reminder to balance tech work with life outside the screen.</p>

<p class="has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph" id="transcript"><strong>Transcript</strong></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Welcome to our 126th episode of the Gutenberg Changelog Podcast. In today’s episode, we will talk about Gutenberg releases 22.3, 22.4, and 22.5. And in certain parts also about WordPress 7.0. I’m your host, Birgit Pauli-Haack, curator at the Gutenberg Times and a full-time core contributor for the WordPress open source project sponsored by Automattic. Dear listeners, have you missed me? I missed you. My voice is still not entirely recovered from the surgery I had in December. Everything else turned out totally okay. But I’m really glad I have Carolina Nymark back on the show and on my side. We will go through these last 3 Gutenberg releases that were released since before the holidays. So let’s start with you, Carolina. Please tell our listeners briefly who you are and what you do. Glad you’re here. Thank you for coming.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Hi, thank you for inviting me again. It’s been a while. So my name is Carolina Nymark. I am from Sweden. I am a WordPress core committer and a bundled theme component maintainer. I previously worked at Yoast, but from mid-February, I’m now unemployed and I hope to come back to contributing to WordPress. And I’ve been away for almost a year, so I’m excited and looking forward to going back and seeing what you have been working on for the past year. Not only these 3 Gutenberg releases.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>Well, yeah, we missed you, Carolina. That’s for sure. Yeah. Your voice of reason and creativity was really missing at some point. Yeah. I know you also— what does it mean, a theme bundle maintainer? Maybe you can explain that to our listeners.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> It means that when someone finds a bug in the default themes like Twenty Twenty-Five or Twenty Twenty-One, we triage new reports. We help sort people who should go to the support forum and who can, you know, who should be actually opening a ticket in the ticket system. Then we help people who are creating a pull request for these bugs and we test the pull request and we eventually update the themes. And when we update the themes, there is a new release in the Theme directory.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Oh, okay. So even if you, if the default theme is Twenty Twenty-Five, which came out in December ’24, but that’s now in its version 1.4.5, 1.5 or something like that. So all the releases before that were done by Theme Bundle maintainers since the first release. Cool. I understand that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> But only, but yes, we do have a couple of component maintainers who are working actively on it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, yeah, it’s not all you. Nobody can really do it all by themselves in the WordPress Contributor teams.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Most of the updates are actually part of the major releases.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Oh, okay. So, and if people who don’t know you from before you had to stop contributing, you’re also the maintainer of a website called fullsitediting.com. Which has some great tutorials on theme building, on block themes, and also on getting started. There is a block theme starter kit there, yeah, where you can select, do you have one, a basic and advanced or full advanced kind of theme? And then on, on the press of a button, you can download a whole theme building kit, which I have found quite helpful learning everything. So Check it out, fullsitediting.com.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Thank you. Uh, yeah, I just found that the best way for me to learn was to really deep dive into, you know, if I found something difficult, the best way was to go back and, you know, read the code and test things and look at what other people have, you know, recorded YouTube videos about and, you know, actually sit down and write it in my own words. That’s how I learn. The best. That’s what I did. And I published those articles or lessons on the site.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, that was absolutely genius. And I think you started in 2020 with that during the pandemic. Yeah. So when the full site editing team was kind of getting started. Yeah. We also have some back then, some videos and you were on that. So we, we have quite some, you’ve been right at the forefront of all this cool stuff now.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark</em>: Yeah, it’s, it’s still strange that it was so long ago. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> But yeah, good things take its time. They have to take time. So I think it will be good to get started because we don’t have a whole lot of time, but we need to go through a whole lot of stuff.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What’s Released – WordPress 6.9.1</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So we start with WordPress 6.9.1 has been released and it’s a maintenance release with 49 bug fixes throughout core and the block editor. And then the release was led by Aaron Jorbin and Aki Hamano. And they have release posts. And if your site has automatic minor updates, you already have it, but you should definitely update now manually. I’ll share the release post in the show notes in the interest of time because they were all bug fixes. So you can do your deeper dive from there. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I also want to point out, because we cannot cover everything, point out some updates on the WordPress official developer blog. There were two What’s New for Developers posts published by Justin Tadlock, and the one from January as well as from February, and that gives you probably also what is not covered with Gutenberg plugin releases that might come into WordPress 7.0. So you can catch up there. And then there were 3 tutorials published on the developer blog in January and February. One was to use the data form to create plugin settings pages, which is pretty interesting because you use WordPress’s own component for the settings pages. You don’t have to make any, not a whole lot of design decisions. You definitely have to. You don’t have to maintain that code for the components because that’s done by the core developers. So you have a streamlined pathway to your plugins and that tutorial walks you through it. Yeah, there’s also one that’s called Streamlining Block Theme Development with WordPress Playground and GitHub. That kind of covers the problem space that most, a lot of designers want to design their theme in the site editor. Over the global styles and the patterns and all that. But how does that— and everything there is stored in the database. But then there is a theme. So how does all that new or changed modifications all go back to the file system is through Playground and GitHub and the Create Block Theme plugin. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So these three tools play together so you can as a designer just work in the site editor and then post a PR to GitHub for the developers to sign off on and get it all into version control, which is pretty much the whole— yeah, developers get really antsy when they don’t have control over code or over settings. So this is a good way to work together with developers on, on a theme development. And then the third one was about the abilities for AI agents when Justin— no, not Justin, Jonathan Bossinger introduces the WordPress MCP adapter that was published by the Core AI team and to see how that all works together. So those are good. It kind of covers the whole thing, range of developer things on the developer blog, of course. Any thoughts about that, Carolina?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah, I mean, especially the settings pages for me who doesn’t, you know, normally create plugins. I really like that because it just seems like such a huge time saver to not have to do it from scratch. I mean, the choice of the topics, it’s really great.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> And if you, Carolina, now on you, if you have a topic that you want to talk about and you want to write about because you want to discover it, like you said, the full site editing, I have the right place for you. That’s the developer blog. That’s how I approach it as well. If I want to deep dive into a certain topic, I say, okay, I’m going to write about on the developer blog and then we’ll me through an example plugin or example theme or something and then walk through my steps and then publish it. So I’m inviting you to kind of think about things.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> I mean, there is a GitHub repository. I know that there is a list of suggested topics that someone needs to pick up and write about.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> We have a few topics that are not— that are approved by an editorial kind of group that haven’t been picked up by writers yet. So that’s definitely the first thing you can look at. But if it doesn’t fancy you, go ahead and just suggest your own topics. We will have the next meeting on the first Thursday of the month, every month. So get it in before that, and then you can start writing after the approval. And for the listeners, there is a subscribe button on the— or subscribe feature on the WordPress Developer Blog. So you will never miss another post again if you haven’t looked at any of those before. All right. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Gutenberg Releases</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I think we need to get started on the Gutenberg releases. So this time we’re going to do it a little bit differently because we have 22.3, 22.4, and 22.5 Releases to cover and with over 700 PRs over all three releases. All we can do today is pick and choose and summarize features. Most of them have been worked on for the upcoming WordPress 7.0 release, but there are also updates that lay the foundation for future WordPress releases or that might not get into 7.0. So whatever we say today that might go or that will go, we only know it next week for sure, because that’s when the WordPress 7.0 beta 1 comes out. And beta 1 is always— there have been exceptions though— feature freeze. And then 4 weeks later is the release candidate 1. That’s the string freeze. But between beta 1 and release candidate 1, there’s a whole 4 weeks where we work on bug fixes that come out of the release or from other places. So that’s when we know. And yeah, so I link in the show notes to all 3 release posts from the Gutenberg releases. And so you can follow up on the specifics. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So first, a few numbers. I said one number already, that’s 700 and over 700. The next one is 22.3 had 131 PRs among them, 23 enhancements, 36 bug fixes. 22.4 was a whopper. It had 406 PRs. So many because we skipped the schedule around the holidays. So there it’s a 4-week period and that’s what you get. You get 100 PRs per week and it includes 119 enhancements and 86 closed bugs and 22.5, which was released just last week with 153 PRs and 49 enhancements and 39 bug fixes. So yeah, you might appreciate that we are cutting down on going PR by PR. So, but let’s go on to some of the features. Are you ready, Carolina?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Well, yes, but I also just want to say thank you because I know that you have helped publish some of these releases, including the latest minor. You’re the one who’s been pushing the button so that the rest of us can download the updates in our, you know, through our WordPress installations. So thank you.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> You’re welcome. You’re welcome. It’s always fun to get through some of the releases. So I, yeah, I released 22.3 and 22.4. My coworker on the team, Juan Margorito, did the whopper, the 22.4, and in between we kind of looked again on the release documentation because we all kind of hit some blockers there where we needed help. And so yeah, it’s definitely something interesting to do once in a while. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I must say the automation of those releases is really well thought through. Yeah, so If you want to try it, if you have been a core contributor and on the Gutenberg release, on the Gutenberg and a member of the Gutenberg team, GitHub team, contact us if you want to get into release processes. All right. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Major Features</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So the major features, the first one is ���{o�� � ��
� ?� �it’s random. There are a lot of good ones in there, but it’s not the first one. It’s not in the order of importance. So block visibility controls. In 6.9, we had the hide button. You can hide it or show it, but you couldn’t really say when and not when. It’s only yes or no, which was good when you do just draft sections or you have holiday things and you just want to switch it off. But now we have viewport-based visibility rules. Do you know more about it, Carolina?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> I’ve tried it. I also read a couple of the comments in their pull requests. Actually, I struggled a little bit with finding where it was, and then I remembered, yes, it’s actually in the list view. So when you open your post or page and you go to the list view, you have the visibility control, and then you have the additional options with the different viewports, and it’s a checkbox. So it’s super easy to use. And yes, of course, it works well on the front end. It’s hidden depending on the CSS class name on the block. But I’m really interested in knowing what’s next. Speculations, like when are we going to be able to change, you know, our custom viewport sizes? When do we, as, you know, site owners or developers, When can we decide? Very curious to find out that. But yeah, it’s very, very easy to use. It’s excellent if you need to do something quick.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, definitely. And kind of mobile is everything under 480 pixel width. Tablet is between 480 and 782. I don’t know where the 2 comes from. Can’t we do just round numbers? And then the desktop is everything the desktop view, viewport is everything above 782 pixels. It works, yeah, just out of the box. And the only thing I found is when you want to test it and you just do it by using the browser view, sometimes it doesn’t— the browser small one doesn’t get under 480. So, but yeah, I use it through the developer tools and then see it as well.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah. So speaking of doing something quickly, the next feature we chose was the custom CSS for individual blocks. So previously we’ve had, you know, you select your block and you can add a class name and then your CSS is elsewhere in a CSS file or maybe even in the customizer CSS setting. Who knows if you’re using it, you know. An old theme. But now you can actually add CSS directly in the editor when you’re selecting your block. And this CSS is of course only applied to that specific block. So if you have two groups, they will have diff— they will look differently because only one of them is gonna have this CSS. So the difference between the old setting, which was in the site editor, that was for every single block. That was for all the groups. All the paragraphs. And this setting is for the individual single block on that specific post or page.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. And there’s another, I don’t know if you had this. I really like this because now you have post and it’s not only for this block. It’s just the block in this post. Yeah. So it will, every post has a new set of blocks that need to be customized CSS. So if you do it twice, think about it, go back to the styles. To the blocks and put it in your global styles so you don’t— you remember, okay, it’s always going to look like that. But I think in the process of making decisions for your whole site, that’s a really good place to try something out, to see how it drives. And then once you know, okay, this is the right setting or this is the right way to do it, then you kind of take it out of there and put it into your global styles. There’s also a global styles custom CSS that’s actually hidden, but then you go to the styles three, three dot menu on top of the styles section. And there is the additional CSS that kind of covers the whole site.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: And then another place to do custom CSS is actually in the theme.json file. And that’s kind of the best way to get it out of the hands of users and cement it there so you can lock down some of the blocks. Some designers really want to have those guardrails. And I need to look for the dial to turn it off.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So, yeah, in theme JSON, you can have the CSS for the entire site. For example, if you need to change something on the body Or, and you also have the CSS for the individual block types, but never for a single block.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> So when everything is in the play, it’s going to be hard for designers to track down some CSS things that are not working right. I have no idea how to actually mitigate that problem. There’s one feature request to have for the individual blocks in the post that there is in the list view a little CSS kind of thing to know, okay, which block actually has custom CSS. So you don’t have to go through every block, through every paragraph block, for instance, if you have one kind of stands out, but we’ll see how that works.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So for example, if you add a very simple CSS for a text color to a paragraph block, and then you go to the color settings, the color settings, if you pick a color in the color picker, will actually override your CSS unless you start using CSS important. Then your CSS is going to override the color settings. So this is, this is, you know, that’s something that I looked at immediately and it seems like it’s been tested really thoroughly and everything seems to work as, you know, as it should. So I like that. Seems to be tested really well.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, so the next thing is image cropping tools. Well, we were able to crop images in the editor as well as in the media library, but it was very haphazard. It was kind of, it wasn’t very intuitive. And now you can, it’s much easier to do that. There’s a new package built that works in the media library as well as in the editor. And now you can crop either by certain aspect ratio, or you can actually have drag and drop that you know from other graphics programs, how to crop things. So you can really go in and pixel perfect crop it without having to figure out how to enlarge it so I can crop it. It’s kind of, that’s my brain always had a hard time with it. I have to zoom in so I can crop it. So now I can just say, okay, here, this is the rectangle that I wanted to crop to. You can also rotate it. And what was the other one?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark</em>: Yeah, the support for the rotation is supposed to be better. That’s what I read. If I understand correctly from a developer perspective, it’s now also a public package. So it’s much easier for you as a third-party developer, plugin developer, to actually use the new image copy package now than before. So that’s good. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Next we have stabilized pattern editing. So this is something that has been in Gutenberg for a long while, I believe. But now it’s stabilized in a way because we want to add it to 7.0. And as a user, I believe that the biggest change is that when you insert a pattern, it’s kind of locked. You will see, for example, if I was testing patterns from 2026, from the bundled themes anyway. And yeah, so the colors are locked when you start, but you can start typing in, for example, headings and paragraphs. I believe that’s the biggest difference for users. The risk of breaking something is lower. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> What I also found is that there’s a new kind of entity there. It’s called the section that kind of guardrails the pattern. So it can do just the content-only editing and people can kind of feel a little bit secure in there. It also helps with changing the design, if there are style variations for certain blocks, that they can do it, but they cannot break out of the pattern. Yeah, the original pattern was that as soon as it’s on the canvas, the blocks are all individual blocks. There is no reference back to the pattern itself. And I think that has been, has been mitigated, yeah, it kind of gapped that that is possible if it has the content-only kind of attributes. It now can be followed back to the original pattern, I think. But its editing has been quite complicated. So making it easier with these new attributes and features is probably a good way to go to have a little bit more, so content creators who are not technically kind of, they have a better trust on the patterns and they can’t break things easily.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> They have to try harder to break it, which is good.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Try harder. Yeah. That’s what we say to developers. Oh, it works. Oh, I wanted to break it. Try harder.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> The panels do look a little bit different than before. But I do believe it’s easier.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> And the sidebar also has an additional tab in there. That’s the content tab. We’ll see it for the image block as well. And we see it in the patterns or even the COVID blocks, all those container blocks here, column blocks, and they have a sidebar now with the content. So it’s a little bit duplicated from the list view, but it’s just block-oriented. So you know exactly what’s in the block or in the section that you kind of highlight there. There’s another one that will come that’s a list view for the— the list view on the right is a different list view than to the left. Terms, it’s hard naming things. So we name it all the same. On the right-hand side, there is a list view when you have actually lists in your canvas. And you see the items in there and you can manage that from there and don’t have to kind of fiddle around with the canvas there. I don’t know. I think it’s people kind of try to figure out or contributors try to figure out what’s the best way to do that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So I haven’t seen that, but it sounds kind of like the separate list view for the navigation block. You’re dragging the in, you see the inner blocks and you can move them and you can delete them and et cetera.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> That’s exactly right. Yeah. Yeah, it’s for all those that have components inside, like the buttons block has other buttons inside. Those social icons block has social icons in there and you get them in that list view, the same as the list has multiple list items. So it was also important for the other combination of blocks that are coming to WordPress 7.0. Or have already been the accordion block, the tabs block, the breadcrumbs block. They all need additional detailed interfaces.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah, they’re quite complicated compared to most other blocks, but they’re good additions.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Oh yeah, additions that we have been waiting for quite a bit. So the next thing on our list is the dedicated fonts page. So Block themes now have a dedicated fonts page in the appearance menu where you can go directly to managing your typography selection. And it moves from the controls and it was always hidden in the global styles under fonts controls. So who— nobody actually found it unless you deal with it on a day-to-day basis. You remember where to look. For those who are not working on block themes, the non-block support is planned. It will not make it into 7.0, but it’s definitely on the roadmap for the next following releases. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Navigation Improvements</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So navigation improvements. Oh, where they’re needed.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Well, I haven’t actually been able to test that. I tried, but I actually couldn’t figure out how to activate it. So maybe you can teach me.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> So the idea of the feature is that you now have choices to create mobile overlays for your mobile versions. That’s another way to a full responsive design. And that you have, you were always having overlays were all available, but you weren’t able to edit them. And the way they do it now is to create a theme parts, the theme part like you do header and footer and call it overlays and then push it into the design for the navigation. So there is now on the right-hand side a menu where you can say for the overlay and you can pick the various parts and there are patterns for that. So the team also created a few patterns, I think 8, that will come with 7.0. So you can kind of have a selection. You don’t have to come up with the overlays yourself, or at least get started. So there is a— with the accent color or black backgrounds. And so you can also say, okay, always show the navigation, the overlays. That means that the navigation, it’s always the hamburger menu and even on the desktop side and then comes with the overlay. There is also a sidebar preview of those overlay patterns and some, some controls there to add blocks like you do with a navigation block as well, because what you do is actually have a navigation, a second navigation on your site. So it definitely needs testing. There is a call for testing out by the team who built it. It’s under the Make Test Block. And I will add it to the show notes. That’s the best way to learn is to kind of heed a call for testing and see what it’s supposed to work. Because Dave Smith published that a couple of weeks ago. And he also added videos how it was supposed to work. And so you can really follow up on that if you want to kind of dive into that because you’re so keen to doing it. Like Carolina is. Yes, it’s always hard to test something if you don’t know how it’s supposed to work. So it’s like jumping into a pool, not able to swim. I mean, if you don’t— there’s quite.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> A few buttons to choose from. Do I click here? Do I go there? Do I go to edit or navigation? Or do I go to my header? Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> It’s not a lot of choices. Or you can do it through your header and then the navigation block. So like that, that’s definitely a good entrance to do. Yeah. All right. I have not yet experimented with additional patterns for that. But I wanna kind of go in there and make my own patterns.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark</em>: You have 8 new designs. That’s really nice. That’s a lot. Can you just, you know, imagine the amount of work that went into this?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Big part of it was by Maggie Cabrera. Yeah, when she came out of sabbatical, so she, that’s how she jumped in to kind of get working on that, I think. Yeah, but the mobile menu overlays are not the only new advanced navigation features. There’s also the improvements on the submenu handling. You can say, okay, that always needs to be open, and then you can better handling of the custom overlays as well. Also, the link picker is a little bit easier to manage. And there were in previous Gutenberg releases that will o�����Ħr � ��
� ?� �come to 7.0, there was also background. When it’s not 100%, it’s opacity, the opacity of the background for the site menu. So because it goes over the website, so it needs to have a different background. And you can select the color as well as the opacity of it. So is it shine through or not? And so that’s kind of interesting as well.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> I know so many users who have requested this, the feature to keep the submenu always open, especially if the menu is vertical, then you don’t always want to go there with your keyboard or hover over it to open it. So I think that one’s gonna be very well received.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. And it really helps with the left side navigation. That was, yeah, for the navigation block was really hard to do, but now with the submenus being always open and kind of you, you can organize them with the overlays and, or in a separate, yeah, it’s, it’s really nice to, to work with navigation that way.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>But. It’s always going to be complicated because there are some— oh, what they also fixed was that the links to pages are actually dynamic. So if you change the pages, the slug or the title, it kind of replicates it in the navigation menu. That was something that came over from the classic menus. And in the first iteration of the navigation block, that was not the case. That was all hardcoded and you had to, you had to kind of figure that out that if you change the page, you also needed to change all the navigation stuff. Yeah. So sometimes you think, oh, okay.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Well, we have to start with something.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Exactly.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Text Alignment Standardization</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Right. Yeah. So next we have text alignment standardizations. I don’t believe that there is anything visible for the editor or the user for this, but this was something that we needed to do to enable other options that are planned because it was inconsistent. So different blocks had different settings and they were, you know, the code was, they actually did kind of the same thing, but in the code they had different names. It was kind of confusing.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> True. Yeah. And some of the blocks didn’t have text-align because they also were referencing that from the parent block. But now they do. And I have to update. There is a roster for all the design kinds of things, features we published for 6.8 and 6.7. And I guess I need to update it now for 7.0. I haven’t found a very good automatic thing yet, but I might be talking to my AI about that. So we can publish it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Maybe that’s good use of it. But you also have until April, I suppose.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Right, right, right, right. I can do it manually. But I’m also working on the source of truth for the other content creators in the space.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So thank you.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Enhanced Block Features</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>Yeah, it’s a lot of stuff. To go through. Yeah. So it becomes— some blocks are just have been enhanced, and one is the COVID block now has a focal point picker for the fixed backgrounds. So if you have a background image, you can actually decide where’s the focal point of that. That’s good if you use a picture that it’s actually tall, but you use it in a horizontal cover block, you kind of— it crops it, but then you need to use the focal point picker to figure what’s actually in, in the block. The paragraph block got an enhancement of the text column support. So you could select that under typography that you can have a paragraph displayed in multiple columns automatically. And it kind of depending on the screen size, it kind of does the pattern, the columns there, which is really nice.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah, classic design elements. And now you might need to use, for example, the row or column block, and you can just use your paragraph.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, and it’s flexible, so you don’t have to decide what’s happening with responsiveness and all that. Because sometimes well, anyway, it’s always a little hazard.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> We have some image block improvements and we already mentioned the improvements to the focal point picker for the COVID block, for example. We also have aspect ratio controls for wide and full width blocks, image blocks, excuse me. Because before this you could actually get a little bit weird results if you choose one of the aspect ratios that’s supposed to be wide and your block wasn’t wide, depending on, you know, how big you actually want it. So that’s nice.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, I tested this and I think the headline is a little bit confusing because the image block per se doesn’t have wide or full alignment. It’s only the hero section or so, the COVID block, if you put an image in there and then you couldn’t decide how it actually uses the image. So now you can select the aspect ratio for the image in the COVID block when it’s full or wide width.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Interesting.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. And then the other, that is a little bit of an orphan in there, the reorganize content tab and inspector controls. That’s what we talked about earlier, that there are additional tabs in the sidebar of the block editor. That is actually for the image block as well, where you can see the image in a small thing and then can click on it and replace it. So there are a few controls that were before in the block toolbar are now also replicated in the sidebar and for a content tab. And that also includes the alt text. So you don’t have to hunt for the alt text. It’s just in the default open content tab. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Next one is the breadcrumbs block. Well, that breadcrumbs block comes into, will come for 7.0, and the team has been working on in the last, I think, 6 Gutenberg plugin releases. So in those last 3, there’s now theme.json block support for it, block schema support, and then also it applies now post type archive titles into the breadcrumbs. So, and you can decide how many breadcrumbs you wanna display in there. But it actually knows your categories and all that. So don’t forget to put in the primary category when you have more than one category so it can pick up, pick that up. And then there’s also a filter hook to override the final array. And so there are some, some good improvements there that roundup the breadcrumbs block for the WordPress 7.0 release. Actually, Yoast had in the SEO plugin had some nice breadcrumbs features in there. Yeah, but there were never, I don’t think there were block related. They were all in the classic theme paradigm. This breadcrumbs block you can put anywhere. You can put it on a post, you can put it on a page, you can put it in a template for archives, for authors, for anybody. And it will pick up in your header. Yeah. And if it doesn’t pick up as you think it would, file a bug report because that’s a living experience. And it’s just the— it’s the first version, but it’s actually for a first version really powerful.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So the next on the list is the tabs block has been restructured. I’m not familiar with this change, so maybe I should be quiet.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. Why? So yeah, there were from the original proposal, there were a few changes that after feedback from core contributors and users, there needed to be a few changes. So what it does is you have tabs on top or writers and you need to tackle those in an array. So it’s tabs 1, tabs 2, tabs 3, like, or product details. Technical specs or whatever you think needs to be in a tabs block. So that’s the tabs menu items. And then you need to manage those because you can say, okay, you want to go left or right with one, you want to change the order. So there is a way to do that. And that’s one section. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The other one is the content panel, the panels for each one of those tabs. You have different panels and in those panels are actually content blocks, like a paragraph, a picture, and all that. So it’s probably a little complicated to style, but they’ve made some changes. So it’s a little bit easier to handle. It’s definitely worth testing out in the latest Gutenberg plugin release to see if that actually works for you and to have your feedback as well. Dear listeners, it’s important to get real-life use cases on it so it can be improved for 7.0.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> I mean, I would suspect that WooCommerce would be interested in this for their tabs. Absolutely. That would be like, you know, that’s my light bulb. So I haven’t looked who’s actually working on this. Maybe they are. Maybe that’s the team who’s been contributing feedback to it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>Well, it’s, yeah, I’m sure they have because, or also WordPress.com who also has business sites. But the developer who’s working on that was Seth Rubenstein, who is from Pew Research Institute, and he has done some amazing block development stuff for his own company. So he knows blocks in and out. So it was good to have a first version from him and then kind of modify it to fit into the core paradigm. So that was actually some great work from Seth in there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Oh, great.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> And then there were some grid layout enhancements. The grid block is now responsive when columns are set. Before, it was only responsive when it was on auto columns. So the system decided how the columns worked. And now you can actually set column widths and it still will be responsive. So that’s definitely an additional feature there. And it’s a little bit easier to edit in, just kind of move things around and remove the drag handles because it’s just clutter. You know, you can drag and drop from one section to the other of the content. And there’s also a height block support for the dimension, added in the dimensions. So you can also say, okay, I want to, this block needs to be kind of 25 and everything kind of wraps around it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> I really appreciate this change because I was stuck on always using auto. The other options were, you know, basically unusable for what I wanted to do.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. Same here. Same here.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Set width. Yes, that’s really nice.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. So the query block gets just a little feature, but it’s definitely big from getting more customization, more flexibility into the block was that now you can exclude specific terms when you select a category or a tag. So you can say without this. Yeah, you can say multiple categories, but then you can say, oh, not this. Or say, okay, I want all the blocks. All the posts in my query loop, but not the site news or something like that. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah, exactly. Or categories.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> That’s really cool.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah. I’m always worried about the panel because, you know, we now have so many filters, but we are, I mean, it has to be easy for users. You have to make it as easy as possible, which means you’re entering either the, you know, the slug or the ID or the But then with all filters available, you know, visible, then it does get kind of wild. There’s a lot of features now in the interface.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Absolutely, absolutely, yeah. And then you install Ryan Welcher’s Advanced Query Block and you get even more because he has a whole other section about how to filter some of the queries.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah, it does feel a little bit like You’re taking what Ryan did and then just, you know, adding one thing at a time until we eventually begin to have something very, very similar. I mean, not exactly the same panels, but similar features.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>So yeah, I think when he finds time, he might update the Advanced Query block and take some of the filters out because they’re now in core, which is pattern for plugin developers that they say, okay, I did this for 8 years and now it’s actually in core and I can take it out. So yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah, except you still have to redo everything because, you know, different ways of using it, different names to have for everything.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, or people have used it for 8 years on their blog and now they have thousands of blogs in that. Yeah, don’t take it out. It just makes a migration path or something like that. That’s a whole different problem space here.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah, definitely.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. So as with the data views, there’s also a data form package or components there. And they also— it’s not going to be used yet for WordPress itself. But some of the site editor or WordPress core, but the site editor uses those components and you can also use them for your own plugins. So there’s an additional form field validator with minimum and max support. And then Form Blocks also switched to SVG icons instead of the Dashicons. So yeah, there are some smaller enhancements in those releases, but the team is working on the data views and the data form since last year in summer, I think for a whole year now to kind of get this all done for the whole WordPress ecosystem to use before it actually will also be used by core.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So yeah, so core in 7.0 is not going to use any of the new data forms for like posts or pages, but there is, I mean, again, we soon have better one, but the plan is to do at least a UI refresh so that the interface is actually going to be looking more like Gutenberg or block editor or site editor.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. Yeah. I’m not sure if it’s a UI refresh. I think it’s a CSS refresh.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Based on the component color scheme.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-p�Ħr�͜DT � ��
� ?� �aragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> As well as the width and this. Yeah. It’s not yet perfect and I’m not sure if it’s going to make it into 7.0. That’s true. But there is I can, I can link the track ticket into the show notes so people can kind of check up on that and also share opinions. Yeah, that’s in the stage where opinions matter and voices matter.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So it looks pretty nice.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> It looks nice.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Form field sizes changes and buttons.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. And it looks more like the site editor. So the mental model of, oh, this is the 15-year-old admin stuff. This is the new stuff kind of merges together. So it kind of bleeds into each other, which is nice because then you know you’re at the right side. We talked about Ryan Welcher before with his advanced query loop. He’s actually working on getting the icons block ready for 7.0. He has another week to merge the PR. And there is a big discussion that are the icons block really helpful if you can’t add custom icon collection? Or is it just with the Gutenberg icon collections? Is it still— it’s not as useful, but it’s still valuable to kind of put into core because the whole API to add additional custom icons collections might be for the next version.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So yeah, that’s, that’s how I feel as well. I mean, We cannot add custom icons now, but I can’t believe that the plan is that we will never be able to do it. But there is still that debate about, you know, users adding SVGs and are they safe or not. And that does not— doesn’t look like that’s going to be resolved, and you know, in our lifetime. But then again, I didn’t know AI was coming either this way, right? Maybe, maybe next year we’ll say something different. But, if we have developers adding what they would consider like icon sets, I, I mean, that has to be part of the, you know, the plan for the future, right?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Well, we’ll see what happens, what the powers that be will decide.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> But yeah, I’ve been watching the live streams where he’s been working on the, on the blog. So I guess we’ll see later this week if he’s going to—.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Well, next week now. I think he published another live stream yesterday, but I think that’s one of the decisions to make is for designers, the design leads or the Gutenberg leads to kind of say, yeah, we, we take it in 7.0 or we wait till we have API to update icons collections. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">List View and Navigation Improvements</h3>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yeah, that the next one is what we already talked about, the ListView access for the button blocks, list blocks, social icons, and pattern editing. That’s in the sidebar. And then there will be some component overhauls. That’s for the primitives. This new UI component is actually for the admin redesign that has been in there. And it won’t come to WordPress 7.0, but it’s definitely interesting for people to try out if they want to. So the primitives are for the field, for the icon, for fieldset buttons, badges, select tooltips. So you have fixed components that you can use in your own apps. Editor performance has always been in the mind of the contributors. And there are a few— it’s all very technical, so I’m going to jump over that. That. But definitely the editor has been really fast on certain things. There’s also the data view has now density picker for styles and group headers and daytime formatting implementation. That’s very important, especially for localization. You get a total count in the footer. So the beta views have been really been involved now.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yeah, I really recommend that people do, plugin developers especially, go in and play around with it. I did with data forms and data views.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, they’re definitely stable. People always ask me kind of, are these data views stable? Well, they’re in active development, but Gutenberg is using them. So at some point they’re considered stable. Yeah. So they will still have additional features in there and additional attributes and variables, but the storyboard of those is really helpful in figuring out what’s all in there. The next thing is real-time collaboration, and I just found an update from yesterday from the project lead. It’s now ready to test in trunk of Gutenberg. They merged a sync provider that works on every WordPress installation. It’s via HTTP. And it even works on local Playground. I learned local Playground instances since the database is backed on local file system. But I’m not sure how collaboration would work because it’s my browser. So it probably, we need to kind of figure out how that should work. It probably is in Studio where you can have multiple people going to the same website, but the Playground browser. Probably doesn’t work. You don’t have to look for it to disable it. It’s disabled by default. And you can enable it through the settings, the writing settings. And it just has a button, a checkbox there, enable real-time collaboration. And then you can test it. You either use 20— no, it’s not yet in the latest Gutenberg release, though you can use the Gutenberg Nightly from the Gutenberg Times. You’ll find it in there. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the release candidate 20.6 that’s going to be run next week, just before WordPress beta. And then we see how that is. Real-time collaboration is really something that single bloggers won’t use. But if you have an editorial team of maybe 2 or 3, you definitely want to use it because it eliminates one step on your content creation, and that is the Google Docs collaboration, then the copy paste into WordPress from Google Docs.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark</em>: And maybe I’m guessing no more of that. Would you like to take over this post? Well, you know, someone is already editing, etc. We can now, you know, back together. Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. People can work on the images and other people can proofread it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> I mean, I’m thinking it works really nice together with the new— what do you even call it in Webflow now? The new notes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Notes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Little notes that you can add about, hey, excuse me, user B, can you please add this tomorrow? And then, yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Right. What also happens with the notes is that there are a few more features in there now. And one of them is that you can now highlight partial paragraphs. At least that was planned. I haven’t tested it yet and I haven’t seen it on change logs. So I need to go back. Maybe I just overlooked it, which is highly possible and probable even. And I definitely gonna surface something for the source of truth for that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Of course, I’m thinking I can actually write my whole novel in WordPress and then just let my editor just log in and hey, you need to fix this.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, right, right, right.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Using the wrong tense in your text. Okay. Yeah. All right. Nice.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Nice. Yeah. Yeah. I really like it. Yeah. It’s an end. I hope we’re gonna get real soon, get it into the developer blog as well, because that’s where I kind of do my editing stuff. Yeah. So I, we have a few writers and always something new and Yeah, we need to kind of have that. And right now we are really doing everything in Google Docs and we need a first review and a second review and we’re all kind of in there. But when it goes into the website, so I want to start to actually compose in the developer blog and not go through the Google Docs section. And it would be so much easier to do this together because we have a few doing reviews. Yeah, and if you’re doing it all on the same page, that would be really cool.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> And I mean, I kind of like the revisions that are in WordPress when multiple people are editing, you know, compared to Google Docs.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There’s a whole PR about handling the revisions rate in the collaborative editing things. Yeah, read through this and said that, well, that’s mind-boggling that people can think about how to do the complicated things. But speaking about revisions, it’s probably not going to go in 7.0, but Ella has made— Ella Van Dorp has made some real progress in making revisions being block— no things about blocks. So you can have the comparison next to each other and you see actually how it’s going to be, how it looks in blocks and not just the text and the coding that you see now, which is kind of— you have to squint a lot to find things.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> Yes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> So I’m really looking forward to that. I don’t think it’s going to come to 7.0 because it’s only the foundation will come to 7.0, but the interface is not yet built out yet. So yeah, I think we are through the most important stuff. Have you seen anything that you over— that we overlooked and that you want to talk about?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> No, they’re just so— the amount of changes and improvements is huge for 3 releases.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> So yeah, yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So I’m really looking forward to testing the navigation overlay now that I understand a little bit better how it’s supposed to work.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark:</em> So that’s, you know, it’s my weekend fun, I guess.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> So weekend fun. Yeah. Some people have some interesting fun stuff. Yeah, I read somebody’s blog about— so I’m always thinking about doing a good life balance at work. And the interesting question is, if technology is your hobby, how do you get that? Yeah, because you definitely need to have a break from your screens and all that. So I’m kind of working on that because I need to get it out of my head that I want to— oh, I need to test this and I need to do this, and then I’m sitting and now. Yeah, it is. Yeah, but it’s also fun to go outside and go into a museum, meet friends.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Carolina Nymark: </em>Yeah, well, I have a screen in my pocket if I go outside.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, that’s true. You can read anywhere. And I actually, if you have never tried to do editing of a blog post on your mobile phone, do it now. The mobile app actually works. So that was kind of my fun yesterday when I was off the screen and I found out I wanted to add another link to my blog post and kind of was able to do it. I said, oh, this is cool because I get my ideas out of that. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Well, dear listeners, I think we are long enough into this show that we’re going to cut it off here now.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a reminder, <strong>WordPress 7.0 Beta 1</strong> is scheduled for February 19th and is considered <em>Feature Freeze</em> during <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/7-0/">this release cycle</a>. Only bug fixes will make it into WordPress 7.0 after that date, until March 19, 2026, Release candidate 1 will be released. Around that time, the Field Guide will be published and it also comes with a <em>String Freeze</em>, so the translators of the Polyglotts team can start their work in translateing WordPress 7.0 into many languages.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>JuanMa Garrido</strong> is part of the release squad for WordPress 7.0 as a co-triage lead. To make is work a bit easier he created <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEzFKuSF-lg"><strong>WP TRAC Triager</strong></a>. It’s a Chrome extension helper for the WordPress Trac ticket triage workflow and enhances it with smart timelines, universal role badges, keyword change history, and a fully customizable sidebar. It is ideal for WordPress contributors who want to streamline their triage process and make informed decisions based on complete context. <a href="https://github.com/juanma-wp/wp-trac-triager">The code is available on GitHub</a>.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="0-p">Plugins, Themes, and Tools for #nocode site builders and owners</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Bud Kraus</strong> walks you through <a href="https://kinsta.com/blog/wordpress-blocks-telex/"><strong>building WordPress blocks with Telex</strong></a>, Automattic’s browser-based AI tool that generates block plugins from natural language prompts. You’ll see two real examples — a ChatGPT embed and an editor-only Social Draft block — highlighting both the speed of prototyping and the iterative refinement that vibe coding still demands. Telex handles scaffolding, building, and packaging without a local dev environment, though Kraus is clear that understanding block architecture remains essential once you move beyond experimentation.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And I just tested Telex again, and now it also can build block themes from a plain-english prompt. Try it out! </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Troy Chaplin</strong> built <a href="https://github.com/troychaplin/readease-text-resizer"><strong>ReadEase: Text Resizer</strong></a> — a Gutenberg block that gives your site visitors controls to scale text for better readability. You can choose from four control styles (dropdown, buttons, slider, or icons), configure scale ranges, and scope the effect to the full page or just the content area. Preferences persist via localStorage with cross-tab sync, and the block is fully accessible with keyboard navigation, ARIA labels, and reduced-motion support.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="2-word-press-6-0-1-and-6-1-scheduled">Theme Development for Full Site Editing and Blocks</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Varun Dubey</strong> has put together a thorough <a href="https://attowp.com/wordpress-development/wordpress-full-site-editing-guide/"><strong>guide to WordPress Full Site Editing for 2026</strong></a>, covering everything from your first block theme setup to advanced techniques like the Block Bindings API and synced patterns. You’ll find practical code examples for theme.json configuration, custom templates, template parts, and block patterns, along with a step-by-step classic-to-block-theme migration roadmap. It’s a solid reference whether you’re just getting started with FSE or looking to deepen your understanding ahead of WordPress 7.0.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In her post <a href="https://humanmade.com/wordpress-for-enterprise/wordpress-from-cms-to-agentic-platform/"><strong>WordPress: From CMS to agentic platform</strong></a> Human Made’s <strong>Sarah Jones</strong> explains that WordPress is changing from a content management system to a more active platform. This change involves new tools like the Abilities API, which helps plugins function better, and MCP, which allows AI agents to use real site data. The important takeaway for businesses is that these agents have the same permissions as human users, maintaining control while benefiting from WordPress’s large network of 60,000 plugins, which offers advantages that closed systems can’t provide.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I revamped my workflow writing tutorials for the Developer Blog and shared some details on my personal blog: <strong><a href="https://icodeforapurpose.com/my-local-tutorial-writing-flow/">my local tutorial creation flow with Claude Code</a>.</strong> I walk you through how I build example plugins, draft developer blog posts in block notation, and publish dire��/�.cJ � �X
� ?� �ctly to a local WordPress Studio site — all from the terminal. The setup relies on the WordPress MCP Adapter and a custom Content Abilities plugin to give Claude content access locally. The workflow saves me quite a bit of context switching.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to <strong>James LePage, </strong> WordPress.com launched the first hosted <a href="https://wordpress.com/blog/2026/02/05/claude-connector/"><strong>Claude Connector for WordPress</strong></a>, building on their earlier MCP access and OAuth 2.1 support. You can connect Claude to your site in a few clicks through the connectors directory, choose which tools to expose, and get site-specific answers grounded in your real data. Claude receives read-only access, so nothing on your site changes, and you can revoke the connection at any time.</p>

He shares a functional Woo extension starter on GitHub, built around React admin screens, DataViews, Interactivity API blocks, and WordPress Scripts. Coords also makes a compelling case for WordPress to invest in strong documentation and example repos so any AI agent can build with core’s UI components successfully.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Pablo Postigo</strong> documents his <a href="https://pablopostigo.com/thoughts/experimenting-with-studio-claude-cowork/"><strong>experiment building a WordPress block theme with Studio and Claude Cowork</strong></a>. After spending four hours hand-crafting a theme with the Create Block Theme plugin, he started fresh with Claude’s Opus 4.5 model — and had a working theme in five minutes, complete with dark mode and custom animations. The post raises thoughtful questions about whether block themes remain the best abstraction now that AI can generate and modify WordPress code so efficiently.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In <a href="https://regionallyfamous.com/nobody-rips-out-the-plumbing/"><strong>Nobody Rips Out the Plumbing</strong></a>, <strong>Nick Hamze</strong> makes a spirited case that AI isn’t replacing WordPress — it’s enhancing it. Drawing on WordPress’s history of absorbing every supposed threat from mobile to JAMstack, the post argues that AI excels at generating the visible layer but still needs WordPress as the content management backbone underneath. With the Abilities API, MCP Adapter, and tools like Telex already shipping, the real question for your community isn’t the technology — it’s staying open and welcoming. It’s a great article to bookmark and share with people doubting WordPress. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Rich Tabor</strong> argues that <a href="https://richtabor.com/api-ui"><strong>the API is becoming the new UI</strong></a> as AI agents emerge as the fastest-growing users of your products. Agents don’t need buttons or drag-and-drop chrome — they need clean schemas, structured data, and predictable endpoints. The visual editor shifts to a review-and-refine layer where you steer what the agent built. For WordPress, the block model already provides the stable foundation agents can write to, making what happens beneath the interface the most important design work ahead.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this live stream session, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/0o73vD9AYz0"><strong>Road to WordPress 7.0: Upcoming Features for AI Integration</strong></a> <strong>JuanMa Garrido</strong> walks you through the major AI features heading to WordPress 7.0, focusing on the WP AI client and core abilities. He explains how the WP AI client — currently available as a Composer package — provides a foundation layer managing credentials, caching, and HTTP transport for connecting to external models like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. Through a working demo, he shows you how WordPress can both consume AI models and, via the Abilities API, become a tool that agents interact with. He then dives into the core abilities proposal, defining built-in capabilities like create_post, get_post, find_posts, and update_post.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:00:19] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Welcome to the Jukebox Podcast from WP Tavern. My name is Nathan Wrigley.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jukebox is a podcast which is dedicated to all things WordPress. The people, the events, the plugins, the blocks, the themes, and in this case, the hidden settings page you never knew existed, options.php.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’d like to subscribe to the podcast, you can do that by searching for WP Tavern in your podcast, player of choice, or by going to wptavern.com/feed/podcast, and you can copy that URL into most podcast players.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you have a topic that you’d like us to feature on the podcast, I’m keen to hear from you and hopefully get you, or your idea, featured on the show. Head to wptavern.com/contact/jukebox and use the form there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So on the podcast today we have Russell Aaron. Russell is a longtime WordPress enthusiast, power user since 2004, and developer since 2011. He’s organized WordCamp Las Vegas, played a key role in the Las Vegas WordPress meetup group for years, and is dedicated to helping beginners find their feet in the WordPress world. Support has been his main focus throughout his career, always keeping the needs of newcomers in mind.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’ve ever wondered about the lesser known corners of the WordPress admin, today’s episode will be right up your street. Russell introduces a hidden feature, the little explored options which is accessible from your site’s WP admin area. Many seasoned users, including myself, have never heard of it, but this page exposes the entirety of your WordPress options table in an editable format. We talk about what this page does, why it exists, and the ways it can be both helpful and hazardous.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Russell shares his own use cases, how it can be useful for plugin development and database management, but we also discuss concerns around its discoverability, and the risks of making changes without understanding the consequences.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s a short episode, but there’s a lot in here for anyone curious about WordPress’ inner workings, or eager to learn about hidden tools that most people don’t stumble upon. So if you fancy poking around behind the scenes, or have ever wondered what might be right under your nose in WordPress, this episode is for you.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re interested in finding out more, you can find all of the links in the show notes by heading to wptavern.com/podcast, where you can find all the other episodes as well.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so without further delay, I bring you. Russell Aaron.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I am joined on the podcast by Russell Aaron. Hello Russell.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:02] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> Hello. Thank you.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:03] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> You are very welcome. I didn’t know Russell until just a few minutes ago, but we’ve probably spent, I don’t know, 20 minutes or so already, just shooting the breeze. And I’m getting to know you a little bit. But it’s an absolute pleasure to have you on the podcast today.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I put a tweet out, or whatever you call it on X these days, a couple of days ago, asking if anybody had an interesting topic. And what you are going to hear about today is what Russell came back with, and I had no idea this thing existed. So let’s get into that in a minute, but it’s very curious. Stay tuned.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But Russell, would you mind just telling us a little bit about your, what I now know is a long and storied history with WordPress. Just tell us all about yourself.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:03:40] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> Sure. My name is Russell Aaron. Nice to meet everyone. I’m a WordPress enthusiast and a fan, first and foremost. That is what keeps me coming back to WordPress every day. I’ve been a power user since 2004. I’ve been a developer since 2011. I organised WordCamp Las Vegas 2015 and then our meetup, I was a co-organiser from 2011 all the way up to 2018 or so. So I’ve been around, I’ve spoken at many WordCamps and stuff like that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ve worked at all the places, all the things. I mean, you know, yet another WordPress developer shop is just like the plugins, yet another, whatever. But I’ve mostly been doing support for my entire WordPress career. And I always like to take things back, even though I’ve been using it for X amount of years, I still like to learn what it’s like to be a beginner walking into WordPress. Because no matter what, we always have beginners coming in and they need help. They need to be pointed, where to go, who to see. And I kind of own that side of the world when it comes to like what I do. I’m very beginner friendly.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:04:52] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Do you still get the same excitement? I remember the first time I ever opened up WordPress, which was probably something like 2014, something like that. So I was definitely not right at the beginning. I was much later to the party than a lot of people. But I’d been using Drupal and Magento and things like that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I remember getting really excited, like genuinely looking around thinking, oh, and it can do this. And then, you know, a week later, oh, and it can do this. And on and on that went. At some point, that level of curiosity, it never really left me, but I kind of managed to learn the things I needed to learn. But then that was just because I was doing stuff that I needed to do.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But if you’re in a role where you communicate with customers, presumably that’s a never ending conveyor belt of new things that you’re constantly having to learn, because some curious person comes up and says, I’ve broken it in this way, and you’ve got to figure all that out. So long question, but are you still excited about it?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:05:42] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> I’ve had this saying, and I say it every day when I sit down is, the hardest thing I have to do is log into WP admin. From there, I’ll figure everything else out. Make a backup is number one. Second thing is, the hardest thing I have to do is log into WP Admin. And you know what really gets me excited is, you know, you have a blog, I have a blog, and essentially we do the same thing, but underneath the hood, how we got to the same point, those are different paths. You use this caching plugin, I use this caching plugin. You use Yoast, I use Rank Math. So the different configurations and stuff like that, that’s what keeps me coming back. And that’s why I’m in support.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:06:22] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, this almost kind of infinite permutations of ways that you can do WordPress. And I guess if you’re like me and you’re just using it on a few sites, that’s fairly trivial. But if you, like you, you’re having to support every possible permutation, oh.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay, so as I said, I went out on X and I suggested that if anybody would like to get in touch and put themselves on the WP Tavern Jukebox Podcast, fire me a message back. And very quickly Russell came to me with this. And I have no idea, I had no idea that this was even a thing.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Like I said, I’ve been using WordPress for over a decade. I didn’t know there was a page that you can navigate to, once you are logged into the WP Admin. So, okay, we’ve logged in, and then if you append options.php to the end of your WP admin URL, so example.com/wp-admin/options.php. Maybe pause the podcast. If you’re logged in, go there, click return, then move away from the keyboard.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:07:24] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> Yeah, don’t touch it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:07:25] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Don’t touch the keyboard. I didn’t know this existed. Tell us, what the heck is this?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:07:31] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> I mean, just like you, you know, I’ve been knee deep in WordPress and installing it when it was the famous five minute install, you know, and Custom Post Types before they were cool. And still, same thing is, it was something that was shown to me a very, very long time ago. But what I like to imagine is that WordPress, when it first got started, it was always user forward, so they wanted to show you either what was on the page or what was in the Post. And so options PHP, or wp-admin/options with an s, you have to add the s, but .php, it basically spits out your entire options table.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So from your database, it spits out your entire options table onto one page. And I mean, depending on how big your options table is, you can have a very small page or, you know, I’m still scrolling. I can doom scroll on my options page and just keep going. But it’s one of those things that I believe was there from the beginning to help you see maybe some information that’s in your database and then, you know, like you could tweak things. And then a database admin, or whatever tools you have on your host to see your database, you know, stuff like that came out. And I think it’s one of those legacy features that’s just always been there, but it gets ignored all the time.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:08:58] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> No kidding. I mean, basically I’m looking at, not a vanilla WordPress website, but I’m looking at a WordPress website with a third party block-based theme, and maybe four plugins. And the four plugins are not that heavy, as far as I’m concerned. But it says, so I navigated to that in that website. And the page is just entitled, all settings. And then underneath that is the warning. So I shall read that out because this is important.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:09:21] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> That should be giant H1. Like, I don’t know what a 235 pixel font looks like, it should be that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:09:28] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Blinking as well. It says, this page allows direct access to your site settings, you can break things here. Please be cautious. And then it’s just two columns. On the left it’s just the name of the key. And then on the other side, the value. And so it’s just a list of things on one side, a list of things on the other. Now obviously the key is uneditable. It just shows it to you. But more or less, now that’s not entirely the case, but more or less every value is editable, meaning that, I don’t know, if some of this was particularly important. Let’s start at the top. I’ve got the admin email. You know, if I change that I’m going to lock myself out if I don’t remember what I’m doing.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:10:07] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> Or emails are going to go to the wrong place.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:10:08] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Emails are going to go to the wrong place. And then it goes down, and you’ve basically dumped yourself in the options table. So it’s like you’re in, I don’t know, some sort of database manager, phpMyAdmin or something like that. But there it is inside of WordPress.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now you mentioned it’s probably a legacy. Do you think it should be here anymore? Because so much of this is exposed in such an easy to fiddle way, that it strikes me that somebody could easily go in here, not really know what they’re doing, amend something, delete something, click return, and bork the website entirely.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:10:43] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> I mean, it’s not a bad idea. If you have a database plugin and it’s active, and for whatever reason that lets some kind of intrusion in, yeah, somebody could get into that information and start wreaking some havoc. And so it would be one of those things where, maybe it should be optionable or maybe it should be stepped into a plugin itself.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I mean, I’m also not against it either. For what it’s done, I’ve never really heard of this page being the cause for whatever malware or whatever Core file is being overwritten. Like it’s usually, knock on wood, it’s usually a plugin that allowed some kind of intrusion or just a bad code that allowed something, and it’s never really been like, well, this site was hacked and it went to this file.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So it seems to be okay. But it’s probably, what I would say is it’s the biggest difference. Because like when you write a plugin and you submit it to wordpress.org, they’re going to go through it with a fine tooth comb and they’re just going to make sure that things are working. They want a tool tip or they want some kind of explanation of like, what this field does. But you go here to this page and it’s just kind of key, pair, and it doesn’t say like, well, this value comes from here, or changing this. Like, there’s no information on it whatsoever, you know? It’s one of those things where like, I see WordPress has a default standardisation of how they want things done, but then you come to this page and none of it’s there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:12:14] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, so as an example, so if you scroll down, I’ve just literally scrolled down and there’s hundreds and hundreds of entries. And I’ve ended up at fresh_site. Now that has zero, a value of zero. I have no idea what that does. I don’t know what would happen if I turned the zero into a one, but there it is. Right above it is finished updating comment type. That’s got a one. And you are right, there’s absolutely no text in any of the fields to give you any indication.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:12:43] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> Other than like site URL like, you know, you kind of know what that is. But everything else, yeah. Unless you kind of know what that key, or what that pair is supposed to be, yeah, you really have no idea.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:12:53] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> And there’s no way of knowing that other than presumably going out and finding it. And so that in itself is quite curious. Just the idea that this entire list of things doesn’t give you some sort of helping hand to kind of say, okay, this one in particular, be mindful of this one. This one’s very important, or at least, here’s what it does. There’s none of that. So it’s just curious.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:13:13] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> Well, I mean even with the Core post types that come with the Core install, they have that documented. I think there’s seven now, Core post types. And out of seven of those, three are hidden, you know? You have the ځ �老*� � 耪
� ?� �menu stuff. And even that, I wouldn’t expect it, but I would say that when you install just a very basic install WordPress, you set it up for the first time, no themes, no plugin, you just spun it up.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At least that page should say all the default stuff that’s there. When the database gets created, wp-options table is created, these values go in. I would maybe hope that a default thing of just says like, this is a default field, or this is a default option that gets installed and here’s what it does. But again, there’s just none of that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:13:59] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> No, no. So again, caveat emptor. Right at the top, obey the warning. Don’t modify anything in here.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:14:04] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> Right. Mind the gap, that’s for sure.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:14:06] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Well, I say don’t modify anything. Presumably it’s there so that things can be modified. And so I guess my question to you is, you’ve brought this to my attention, have you found a use for this? Have you ever been in there and, is it like a daily thing that you are fiddling with? What’s the purpose?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:14:22] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> I can tell you my use case. And I think for me, it’s not being lazy, but I don’t want to have a SQL program running on my computer, or I don’t want to have phpMyAdmin up, and I have to refresh and go to page two to find my option or whatever. What I like is that I have been rebuilding some of my plugins. And some of my plugins set options. And so when you deactivate my plugin, I have a uninstall.php file that should remove information from the database, right?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So that’s where I go to check, is my plugin doing its job? Well, let’s go look for this option name. And if I uninstalled and deactivated my plugin and it’s fully gone, but I still see whatever option name, I know my uninstall PHP file didn’t do its job. That’s the biggest use case I have.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I have a local site for everything that I develop, like my personal website, I have a local site. All my .org plugins, I have a local site for that where I do development. And that’s the same thing is, I use that option thing and okay, did I set my option? Do I see it? Okay, there it is. Here’s what I see it in the database. Here’s what I can query against. Like, it gives you all that information. All you have to do is one refresh. You don’t have to rebuild your database or go searching through it in like a MySQL kind of program. It’s all just spit out there and you really just, you know, find search and stuff like that. That’s my use case for it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:15:58] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, there’s no search or filter anything in there. You would have to use the browser search to find the thing that you need. But that’s a really interesting use case of it. And also, thank you for having that feature in your plugins whereby you actually remove the data in the database that, obviously, at the point of uninstall is no longer required. I know why people leave that stuff there, but also it’s quite nice that you make it so that it doesn’t remain.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:16:21] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> That’s one of those interesting arguments. If I accidentally deactivate WooCommerce, I don’t want my stuff gone. So that shouldn’t have it, but my tiny little plugin that I built for a contest 10 years ago, it should probably remove it’s stuff.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:16:34] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So obviously you can see that, but again, there’s no way of searching for things. You’d have to manually search through the browser and what have you. Now, the curious thing is, I’ve never stumbled across this, and I’ve clicked every single link in a WordPress install. There’s no doubt I’ve clicked every link multiple times over and over again. Presumably this is not linked from anywhere within the WP Admin at all. And yet when you land on it, the sidebar, the WP admin sidebar ends up at settings, so the settings is highlighted.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:17:05] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> And settings is expanded.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:17:08] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Settings is expanded, but it’s not, you know, it’s not a child item which suddenly appears. It’s just settings. So is that true? It’s not linked anywhere.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:17:15] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> Not that I have found anywhere. Other than people like you and me talking about this, it’s not very spoken about. It’s kind of one of those things where if you know then you know, or if somebody like myself is a developer, they can say, oh yeah, hey, there’s this other thing. But other than that, I mean, it tends to be skipped over from a beginner perspective.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Like you said, you’ve been using WordPress for 10 plus years at least. Never been there before. Didn’t even know this thing existed. Now you’re kind of like, what else is there that I don’t know.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:17:48] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> That is exactly where my head has gone, is what else is there that I don’t know about? You know, other curious things that are there.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:17:53] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> Is there a gold pot at the end of the rainbow? We don’t know.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:17:57] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, some little Easter egg that I never spotted that’s somewhere buried in a menu. Yeah, that would be kind of cool.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:18:01] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> What if you go to that page and there’s a coupon code for Gravity Forms and it says like, free updates for life because you visited here.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:18:09] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, that’s a great idea. Yeah, okay, so developers hijack this page and add those. No, don’t. Don’t do that. But you were saying earlier that the fact that nobody is really talking about it, I suppose that leads us into the idea that, it’s not really a problem. If this was exposing problems that, let’s say for example, I don’t know, hackers were leveraging, I don’t know quite how they would do that, but you know what I mean. Then presumably this would’ve been pulled out years and years ago because it would be easy to remove this. But presumably it doesn’t have a great attack surface. It’s not widely known about. This is the first time I’ve heard about it, so there it is. It’s going to stay, I presume.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:18:47] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> I always make the joke that it’s the largest form in WordPress.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:18:51] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, it really is.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:18:53] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> I mean, that’s all it is. It’s a giant form that pulls data. And, you know, you can hit save at the bottom. So it’s the biggest non Gravity Form that you can have in WordPress.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:19:03] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Do you know if it’s possible for, so for example, the site that I’m logged into, I am an administrator. That’s the account that I’ve got. So the level of permissions is equal to administrator. I’m wondering how far this goes down. So, for example, I don’t know, if I’m a contributor or a subscriber or an editor, I’m guessing that this wouldn’t be available, but I don’t know if you know the answer to that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:19:24] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> It’s only, you have to have the manage options permission, which I think is tied to administrator, and I think that’s about it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:19:32] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So in that sense it is also, I suppose, fairly secure because it’s hidden behind an administrator account. And by the time an administrator account.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:19:41] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> If logged in and administrator is true, yeah.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:19:43] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Right. So you can more or less kill the site if you wish to, of your own volition by going to the, and I’m doing air quotes, the normal settings anyway.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:19:51] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> At that point, you can’t complain. You’re an admin. You did it yourself, you know.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:19:54] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Do you know if, this isn’t something curious that sort of hopped in like the last five years, six years, something like that? Do you know if this has a history which goes back right to the beginning of WordPress?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:20:06] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> I would be curious to go figure out when this file was introduced. I want to say, like, if I had to guess, I think it’s at least in 2.0. It might go further back. 2.3 is when I started using WordPress. So I mean, as far as I know, I think it’s that far, but I haven’t actually dove back to see like, when it was introduced.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:20:28] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Have you ever used it and killed a site accidentally?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:20:33] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> Yes.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:20:33] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Oh, you have. Oh, go on, tell us. What did you do?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:20:35] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> So, I see this argument all the time where it is, you know, too many plugins, slow your site down or whatever. There’s actually an option in your database and it, you know, when you activate a plugin, there’s this wide array, it says akismet-1, so it’s active. And then it says jetpack-0, so it’s not active.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so it tells you what’s an active plugin and what’s not. And I’ve gone in there and I’ve thought, oh, I’ll just change this value or, can I activate a plugin just by changing this value? And it’s one of those things where, whoops, probably forgot a comma or forgot a period somewhere. I mean, it’s very finicky. I mean, it’s the same thing as editing your database. If you go in there and you make a mistake in your database, it’s going to blow up the site. Same thing with this.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:21:30] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, the curious thing about the database, I suppose though, is that obviously not many inexperienced people presumably would be given an administrator account. So there’s that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:21:38] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> Hopefully.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:21:38] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> But also they’re never, well, okay, alright. Yeah, I’ll take that back immediately. Well, okay, in an ideal world, an administrator account would not be given to somebody inexperienced. Plus the fact that almost nobody, until now, knew that this whole thing existed. And I bet I get loads of emails saying, we’ve known about this, Nathan, forever. It’s just you that didn’t know about it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:21:59] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> No, this is one of those things where like, you show up to WordCamp US and it’s like, what do you know that I don’t know? And you go, have you ever been to options.php? And then people are like, wait, what? It’s one of those things where like, look at the big brain on Russ, it’s one of those kind of things.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:22:16] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> There’s a cabal of just me and you now, and then anybody who’s listened to this podcast. But also, the inexperienced user, presumably wouldn’t have the access to the tooling to use a database tool. So that’s why I find this so amazingly curious, that essentially you’ve just completely listed out everything in an editor. I mean, I could understand it if it just showed what the content of that.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:22:37] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> Just read only?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:22:37] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Right, just show what it is and then you could go into a database tool and amend it if you needed to. But the fact that almost everything is editable and saveable, that is the bit that I find so curious.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Do you know of other things like this, or is this the only one? What I mean by that is, any curious, hidden Easter egg, strange things inside of WordPress, or is this the one and only?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:22:59] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> Sure, sure. I mean, as far as I know, I mean there’s other block visibility controls and stuff like that, that aren’t really displayed anywhere. It’s not like you can make those adjustments. But I mean, as far as I know, you know, like that’s all controlled by either the code in a plugin, or by a Core file, or it’s in the options. So I mean, you have both worlds right here. You have a Core file in WordPress showing you your database. This is kind of where it all is.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I would also say that I’ve spent many moons looking for my Gravity Forms license or, why is this not updating or whatever? And this is one of those things where, if you’re looking in a database, it’s all kind of black and white, squished, and it’s like tiny little tables that are off color. At least with this, there’s a margin, there’s some padding around things, there’s some gaps. So it’s kind of more user friendly than a database would be.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:24:00] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Actually that’s a curious way of thinking about it, isn’t it? Because you’re right. If you do go into.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:24:05] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> You go into phpMyAdmin you’re kind of like.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:24:07] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> It’s not pretty. There are definitely some tools that you can have that make a database a pleasure to look at, but most of the ones that we’re all familiar with, that we use day in, day out, you’re right, they’re hard to use. Also, they have curious dropdowns and inadvertently, you click return on something and suddenly you’ve dropped the table entirely, and we’re in a bit of trouble. So this is at least easy to see.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I think we’ve probably used up all the oxygen in terms of this. I’m going to encourage you to go and have a poke around.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:24:34] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> It’s multi-site as well too, so if you go to a multi-site, you can’t see, like if you go into the backend, it’s per site. So it’s not every database option for the multi-site. But if you go into just the actual network site, yeah, then you could see all that there.</p>
*� 耪%�� � ��
� ?� �
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:24:50] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So I’m going to encourage people to go and have a little poke around, but I’m also not going to encourage you, don’t fiddle with anything. Just leave every single field exactly as you saw it. It’s example.com, so your domain.com, whatever that would be /wp-admin/options, with an S so plural php.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Go and have a look, and I’d be very curious, if you’ve got anything that you think is interesting in there, or indeed you’ve also found something in the same way that Russell has which is unexpected and unknown. I’d be very curious to hear about that, and maybe we can get you on a podcast episode as well.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, Russell, thank you so much for enlightening me. What a peculiar episode that was. I really appreciate it.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:25:30] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> I appreciate you putting it out there. Like, blow my mind, what do you have? And I’m glad that I can at least register that in some sort of of way.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:25:38] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> There’s always something new, and this definitely was something new. Thank you, Russell.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">[00:25:41] <strong>Russell Aaron:</strong> Thank you.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the podcast today we have <a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/geekstreetwp/">Russell Aaron</a>.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Russell is a long-time WordPress enthusiast, power user since 2004, and developer since 2011. He’s organised WordCamp Las Vegas, played a key role in the Las Vegas WordPress Meetup group for years, and is dedicated to helping beginners find their feet in the WordPress world. Support has been his main focus throughout his career, always keeping the needs of newcomers in mind.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’ve ever wondered about the lesser-known corners of the WordPress admin, today’s episode will be right up your street. Russell introduces a hidden feature, the little explored options.php page, which is accessible from your site’s wp-admin area. Many seasoned users, including myself, have never heard of it, but this page exposes the entirety of your WordPress options table in an editable format.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We talk about what this page actually does, why it exists, and the ways it can be both helpful and hazardous. Russell shares his own use cases, how it can be useful for plugin development and database management, but we also discuss concerns around its discoverability, and the risks of making changes without understanding the consequences.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s a short episode, but there’s a lot in here for anyone curious about WordPress’ inner workings or eager to learn about hidden tools that most people don’t stumble upon.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, if you fancy poking around behind the scenes, or have ever wondered what might be hiding right under your nose in WordPress, this episode is for you.</p>

</h2>
<p>“Good morning! Welcome to WordPress Tech Congress, WordCamp Valencia 2025!”… And that’s how I began my opening speech at this fifth edition and last WordCamp of the year in Spain, held from November 8 to 9 at the La Petxina sports and cultural complex in Valencia. It was an honor to be the team leader, and I’m truly proud of what we achieved. It was an unforgettable experience in which I had the opportunity to design the event together with a great team of passionate organizers, speakers, and volunteers. In this review, I’ll tell you the details, illustrated with numerous photographs. If you were there with us, you’ll be able to relive the memories, and if you weren’t, you’ll now see how we lived that day. Let’s begin, this WordCamp is yours!</p>

<h2 id="prompt_1">What is a WordCamp?
</h2>
<p>WordPress is an open-source CMS used by 43% of all websites. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License v2 or later. It has a very meaningful mission: “to democratize publishing on the web”, which becomes even more relevant in a digital world where more and more platforms use opaque algorithms that decide how we consume content and exploit our data in ways that are far from ethical. WordPress supports an open and neutral web, a web that belongs to people and gives us the freedom to create and share.</p>
<p>One of the driving forces behind WordPress is its community. A global ecosystem made up of hundreds of people who collaborate with their dedication to develop it and help it grow. And a WordCamp is the conference organized by the community, whose organizers and speakers are all volunteers. We get together with the purpose of learning, collaborating, networking, and also growing the community. During these days, we greet old acquaintances, interact with new people, collect swag from our fabulous sponsors, and eat. These are very special events, with a different feel from commercial conferences because of their family-like, collaborative nature. Everyone is welcome.</p>
<h2 id="prompt_2">Talks and speakers</h2>
<p>And that spirit was exactly what we experienced at WordCamp Valencia 2025, which, during that weekend, became the epicenter of WordPress in Spain. This year, under the title “WordPress Tech Congress”, we talked about current technological topics in the WordPress ecosystem, its tools, and associated disciplines.</p>
<p>In total, we had 20 long talks, three of them in English, the Light Talks format, the Speed Builder Game, and Contributor Day. We had an incredible line-up of speakers, experts who shared their experience and delivered talks of truly outstanding quality. In the reviews posted later on social media, attendees spoke of the WordCamp as a “shot of inspiration” and highlighted that “the WordPress community is more alive than ever”.</p>
<p>The content was organized into several categories, one of the main ones being web development. The speakers dug deep into WordPress from the perspective of senior developers.</p>
<p>One of our major talks was given by <strong>Ivelina Dimova</strong>, titled <strong>“Prototyping Intelligent Features for WordPress”</strong>. Ivelina is a senior WordPress developer. She has a long history in the WordPress Community and is one of the three team leaders of WordCamp Europe 2026, which will be held in Krakow from June 4 to 6. With her participation, she returned to speaking at WordCamps after a break.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img alt="" class="wp-image-5334" src="https://valencia.wordcamp.org/2025/files/2025/11/Ivelina-Dimova-foto-Nilo-Velez-WCVLC25.webp" /></figure>
</figure>
<div class="wp-block-spacer" style="height: 25px;"></div>
<p>She began by telling us about her participation in the Buildathon competition, an AI-only hackathon/competition in San Francisco organized by DeepLearning.ai and %����\V� � �
� ?� �Andrew Ng. There, she created 6 applications in five hours using artificial intelligence tools and ended up winning in the Solo category. This experience made her reflect on how application development has evolved: “Five years ago I wouldn’t have been able to be so fast and efficient”, she told us. From this starting point, her goal was to show us how we can be just as productive in the WordPress ecosystem. She showed us specific tools, how to use them, and a TDD approach adapted to the WordPress ecosystem. In short, she shared the process of how to prototype intelligent features for WordPress, updating us with methods and tools that reveal a new era in web development.</p>
<p><br />Within this category, there was also a talk with an important piece of news by <strong>Fernando Tellado</strong>, founder of AyudaWP, very well known in WordPress for his long track record of collaboration. Fernando submitted six talks to the WordCamp, but we contacted him and asked: <strong>“Can you talk about the changes in wp-admin and bring us the latest news to the stages of WCVLC25?”</strong> And Fernando accepted!<br /></p>
<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img alt="" class="wp-image-5329" src="https://valencia.wordcamp.org/2025/files/2025/11/Fernando-Tellado-foto-Nilo-Velez-WCVLC25.jpg" /></figure>
</figure>
<div class="wp-block-spacer" style="height: 25px;"></div>
<p>He explained the reinvention and “The future of WordPress wp-admin”, which has gone years without significant changes. To do this, he interviewed Matías Ventura, lead architect of Gutenberg, to bring us fresh information about it. In thirty-five minutes, he explained the new vision, the three pillars of the redesign, the impact for users, and the current status of the project. A big and necessary change because, as Fernando says, “…that the machinery (referring to WordPress) underneath (page builders and dashboards) adapts to our current ways of using the internet: it’s no longer a web of clicks, but a conversational one”. To conclude, he called for participation in building the project.</p>
<p>“It’s your time to contribute. Now is when your voice matters. These changes will affect millions of users. Share your experience, test the prototypes, and help shape the future of WordPress”.</p>
<p>In this category we also had: <strong>Sulema Rocha</strong> with <strong>“From zero to WordPress site in seconds: real productivity with WP-CLI”</strong>; <strong>Juanma Garrido</strong> with <strong>“Expanding core blocks with frontend interactivity: HTML API and Interactivity API”</strong>; <strong>Álvaro Gómez</strong> with <strong>“WordPress MCP + Abilities API: Talk to your Website”</strong>; <strong>Fernando Puente</strong> with <strong>“Evaluating a cache system. Intermediate-Advanced”</strong> and <strong>Andros Fenollosa</strong> with <strong>“SASS, the preprocessor that survived the CSS apocalypse”</strong>.</p>
<p>Another attractive blocks for the audience was SEO & AI or traffic. Nowday, access to online content no longer depends solely on search engines. Many other entry points to the web also generate traffic and visibility. That’s why SEO experts have begun to add and study the process of discovering websites and content through new Artificial Intelligence tools.</p>
<p>We had <strong>Natzir Turrado</strong> on the WordPress stage for the first time with his talk <strong>“From SEO to AX: prepare your website for agentic traffic”.</strong> He is a renowned international expert in SEO and data science. His talk was the result of a year’s work, during which he reverse-engineered agents and agentic browsers to understand how they work and what difficulties they have when navigating the web.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-8 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img alt="" class="wp-image-5323" src="https://valencia.wordcamp.org/2025/files/2025/11/Natzir-Turrado-Foto-Nilo-Velez-WCVLC25.webp" /></figure>
</figure>
<div class="wp-block-spacer" style="height: 25px;"></div>
<p>He began with illustrative data: +4,700% increase in traffic from GenAI browsers and chat services to retail sites in the USA; a 9.4% drop in human traffic because people are already interacting directly with AI interfaces; and increasing bot traffic. Natzir explained that websites are no longer only consumed by humans, but also by artificial intelligence agents that browse them, interpret them, and act on them. He told us what these agents actually need to complete tasks, what their weak points are, and how to optimize our websites so these agents can “read”, “understand”, and “use” them.</p>
<p>We also had <strong>Dani Leitner</strong> with <strong>“The real future of our websites: What your SEO agency doesn’t want you to know”</strong>, a relevant topic for web designers and developers. Dani is an independent SEO consultant specialized in the DACH market (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). She is passionate about WordPress and organizes the WordPress Meetup in Zürich. She was an organizer of WordCamp Europe Basel 2025.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img alt="" class="wp-image-5324" src="https://valencia.wordcamp.org/2025/files/2025/11/Dani-Leitner-Foto-Nilo-Velez-WCVLC25.webp" /></figure>
</figure>
<div class="wp-block-spacer" style="height: 25px;"></div>
<p>She started her talk by showing two possible scenarios for the future of the web: the first, with a screen and a chatbot so that the user “navigates” by means of conversations, and the second, a scenario in which there are no real users visiting websites anymore. A web suitable only for agents, which is all code and has no frontend as such, no design layer, no images. “Given current trends, everything will happen in a chatbot”, — she explains. —“For example, you can already buy on Etsy from ChatGPT, and Google does it with PayPal”. In her talk, she walked us through the change in search systems, moving from keyword-based search to conversational search. She talked about new emerging concepts and acronyms, such as LLMO, AEO, and GEO, which are linked to how machines, AI, and agents interact with websites. She recommends anticipating the new purpose of a website: not only to serve human-to-human content, but also to be ready for agents, assistants, and automated workflows that “talk” to the website.</p>
<p>A particularly interesting talk was given by <strong>David Ayala</strong> with<strong> “How to get ChatGPT and Google’s AI to recommend you”</strong>, once again impressing the audience, who sat on the stairs of Track 2 to listen to him.</p>
<p>The Digital Marketing category stood out for the quality and appeal of its talks. It couldn’t be missing because many companies use WordPress to build the platforms that will later be key sales tools. Let’s see who took part in this category:</p>
<p><strong>Pablo Moratinos</strong>, with <strong>“From funnel to flywheel: How to grow with WordPress”.</strong> In his day-to-day work, he leads the Data & Experimentation team at Product Hackers, is a WordPress.com brand ambassador, and co-host of Un Billete a Chattanooga. He is the author of the book “Negocios online. Data driven marketing”, published by Anaya Multimedia. He has a long history of contributions to WordPress. </p>
<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-10 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img alt="" class="wp-image-5335" src="https://valencia.wordcamp.org/2025/files/2025/11/Pablo-Moratinos-foto-Roberto-Vazquez-WCVLC25.webp" /></figure>
</figure>
<div class="wp-block-spacer" style="height: 25px;"></div>
<p>In this talk, he told us how to use WordPress to implement a “flywheel”. First, he introduced the concept: an evolution of the linear acquisition-conversion (funnel) model into the flywheel approach, a continuous growth system that uses customer satisfaction to generate new sales and referrals, creating steady momentum through three phases: attract, engage, and delight. Then, from a technical perspective, he showed how WordPress is a “true growth operator” because it can implement all the phases on the same platform. He wrapped up his talk with examples. A very clear summary of WordPress’s power in digital marketing and how to save resources by having everything on a single platform.</p>
<p>We also had <strong>Miguel Florido</strong> and his talk: <strong>“Connect, convince, convert: The power of in-person conferences in sales”.</strong> He is the director of Escuela Marketing and Web, where he teaches specialized training in digital marketing and AI, and he is the founder and director of DSM, one of the largest Digital Marketing and AI conferences held annually in Madrid and Valencia.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-11 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img alt="" class="wp-image-5336" src="https://valencia.wordcamp.org/2025/files/2025/11/Miguel-Florido-foto-Nilo-Velez-WCVLC25.webp" /></figure>
</figure>
<div class="wp-block-spacer" style="height: 25px;"></div>
<p>It was a technical talk about how to organize a conference, which he explained through his personal and professional experience in marketing. He presented a roadmap with 7 essential points: 1. Alignment with the product, 2. Cost analysis, 3. Choice of speakers and venue, 4. Sponsorship, 5. Ticket types, 6. Event promotion phases, 7. Strategies to sell a product or service. He also showed the tools used to execute the marketing, including WordPress, and project management resources such as a Gantt chart, among others.</p>
<p>The most interesting thing is that, based on the resources he presented, it seems like an easy and simple process, even though it requires a lot of dedication, commitment, and understanding of the context and goals. He also pointed out the advantages of the in-person format over the digital format: spontaneous interaction, high-quality networking, and shared experiences that have a strong emotional impact. Miguel finished by emphasizing that organizing an event means designing experiences that connect emotionally, convince with the proposal, and ultimately generate business results.</p>
<p><strong>Ricardo Tayar</strong> also participated in this edition of WordCamp Valencia 2025 with <strong>“5 things you must understand (and do) so that your website truly converts”. </strong>He is a renowned professional, CEO of Flat 101, a top web design agency in Spain that uses the BXOp (Business eXperience Optimization) work approach and has already been in the market for 12 years.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-12 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img alt="" class="wp-image-5333" src="https://valencia.wordcamp.org/2025/files/2025/11/Ricardo-Tayar-foto-Nilo-Velez-WCVLC25.webp" /></figure>
</figure>
<div class="wp-block-spacer" style="height: 25px;"></div>
<p>He began his talk with the following thesis: “if you don’t understand how we make decisions, you can’t design anything that converts”. From here he recommends understanding what the user/customer really wants and aligning it with the business objective; designing the user experience in a way that facilitates the desired action (flow, clarity, motivation); optimizing the technical and functional elements that facilitate conversion (speed, trust, relevance); measuring and analyzing the right data to understand what is working and what isn’t, and acting accordingly; and implementing changes iteratively and validated against reality, not just “because others are doing it”. He ended his talk by assuring us that at this moment, when there is so much digitalization, humanism is more important than ever: -…“touching the emotional chord, which is an art and not easy at all, is going to be the real differentiator in the coming years”.</p>
<p>Within this category, we also had <strong>Elena Tur</strong> with<strong> “Your store doesn’t end at the checkout: how to retain and sell more with automated email marketing from WordPress”</strong>, and <strong>Marie-Charlotte Pezé</strong>: <strong>“Earthquake-resistant content strategies” </strong>(in English), focused on content and the cultural and paradigm shift brought by Artificial Intelligence.</p>
<p>We also dedicated a space to Automation, as a category, where we had <strong>David Cuesta</strong> with<strong> “This is how you can use N8N on your website to automate”</strong>, an open-source tool that has revolutionized the way we work.</p>
<p>Another proposal with a high attendance was in Web Design. <strong>Max Camuñas</strong>, for the first time at a WordCamp, talked to us about<strong> “Designs that hook in the age of AI: tools, trends, design and strategy”</strong>. There was a lot of anticipation around this talk, and some attendees had to stand in order to attend it.</p>
<p>In E-commerce, we had the experienced <strong>Lidia Marbán</strong> with <strong>“Cognitive biases in ecommerce boosted with AI”</strong>.</p>
<p>We couldn’t fail to talk about Project Management with the experienced<strong> Daniel Primo</strong>, the mind behind the podcast Web Reactiva, with<strong> “Once you do a POC there’s no Stop: Practical AI to turn ideas into projects”</strong>.</p>
<p>And finally, the Showcase category, which was first used at WordCamp US 2024. The goal was to show real and successful examples of WordPress in use. For the occasion, we had <strong>Óscar Aguilera</strong>, CEO of Grupo StartGo, a digital marketing and web design agency, and <strong>Miguel Ángel Montañes</strong>, its CTO, with the talk <strong>“Beyond the CMS: advanced engineering with WordPress”</strong>.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-13 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img alt="" class="wp-image-5332" src="https://valencia.wordcamp.org/2025/files/2025/11/Oscar-Aguilera-foto-Roberto-Vazquez-WCVLC25.webp" /></figure>
</figure>
<div class="wp-block-spacer" style="height: 25px;"></div>
<p>Their presentation was divided into two parts. In the first, Óscar answers the following questions: Is WordPress a CMS or a framework? Do large companies use WordPress? Is WordPress secure? Are there projects over 50,000 euros? He gives us the key to defending a WordPress project and answering your future clients. To demonstrate the commercial reach of this CMS, he shares two real proposals, one for 20,000 euros and another for 97,000 euros. In the second part, Miguel, the CTO, walks us through a practical case: the development of a transactional portal for the administrative management of teachers at an educational center. He explains in detail the process and the different methodologies used to create a WordPress-based product that meets the client’s needs. They closed with a powerful message: “WordPress has no limits; the limits are set by us.” What’s essential is not only the software, but also the technical discipline, engineering vision, and strategy behind it.</p>
<h2 id="prompt_3">Light Talks</h2>
<p>A very special experimental format. Light Talks are short presentations of around 10 minutes, followed by 15 minutes for audience participation.

<p>Thank you so much, Yannick, Diego, David, Jonathan, and Lucía, for taking part and making it possible to implement this format. You are great communicators, and you work day in, day out, directly with your audiences. The attendees really enjoyed interacting with stars like you.<br /></p>
<h2 id="prompt_4">Speed Builder Game</h2>
<p>And to close the day, we had Jamie Marsland, director of the WordPress YouTube channel, with this fun format. It was the first time it came to Spain, and we welcomed it with great excitement. The session was held in English and Spanish. We got to see his two contenders, Taisa, a web designer, and Fran Fernandez, a web developer, recreate the following website live and in 30 minutes: KOBU.co.<br /></p>

</figure>
<div class="wp-block-spacer" style="height: 25px;"></div>
<p>Jamie started out recreating popular websites on his YouTube channel as a personal experiment: “I had been recreating famous websites in 30 minutes”. From there, he had the idea of turning it into a competition: “What if two people compete to build the same website in 30 minutes?” That’s how the Speed Build format was born. The challenge has now gone to the stages of events such as WordCamp Europe, WordCamp Asia, and other WordPress conferences, turning it into a piece of live entertainment, with a visible countdown and direct audience participation.</p>
<p>It was an exciting session, with applause and nerves. In the end, both of them managed to recreate the website with the help of several technologies, including AI.</p>
<p>Thank you so much, Jamie, for bringing your format to WordCamp Valencia 2025. Your presence at our event made it more international and refreshed it with a totally new format on our stages.</p>
<h2 id="prompt_5">Contributor Day</h2>
<p>Contributor Day is a day on which we collaborate with WordPress teams, the ones that usually work remotely. During this day, they get together and work in person. In this edition, it was held on Sunday at La Pechina itself. The driving force behind this meetup was Luis Miguel Climent, who focused it on making it easier for new contributors to get involved.</p>
<p>A detailed explanation was given about the following teams:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Plugins, represented by Francisco Torres.</li>
<li>Marketing, represented by Carla Pumutxa.</li>
<li>Development, represented by Juanma Garrido.</li>

<div class="wp-block-spacer" style="height: 25px;"></div>
<p>Afterwards, they gathered at their work tables, and participants’ questions were answered. At the end, a recap of the session was done, and follow-up will be carried out with the interested people to help them complete their onboarding on WordPress.org.</p>
<h2 id="prompt_9">Kids’ area</h2>
<p>This year, there was a major innovation at WordCamp Valencia 2025: the kids’ area, which welcomed families. Five speakers were able to attend because they had a place to leave their children, and several attendees joined because they were also able to balance childcare with attending the conference.</p>
<p>It’s the first kids’ area at WordCamp Valencia. This service is becoming essential for all WordCamps. At this point, more than half of the ones held in Spain and WordCamp Europe have a space for children.</p>
<p>Welcome, families, welcome kids, they are our future!</p>

<h2 id="prompt_10">If the family gets together, we eat. Traditional Valencian cuisine</h2>
<p>At every WordCamp in Spain, they offer some local culinary delights. In this case, our theme was traditional Valencian cuisine. We offered pastries, baked goods, and sandwiches from a local bakery, traditional rosquilletas, a delicious paella prepared by master paella chefs, traditional horchata, and fartons. To finish, pizza.</p>

<p>A reward for all the work involved in managing the food side, was the comments from the attendees. For some, like Sofía Ruiz, linked to the Logroño Meetup and WordCamp, it was the first time tasting horchata and fartons. Some speakers referenced the food on stage, like Natzir Turrado, who was drinking horchata during his talk and referred to it as a remarkable beverage. Also, Ricardo Tayar commented that the food was great, with the typical Valencian ice cream cone to finish. We love knowing that after this WordCamp, they now know the taste of Valencia.</p>
<h2 id="prompt_11">A WordCamp with tradition</h2>
<p>WordCamp Valencia now has its own tradition and a unique stamp that has been built over time through the work of the teams that brought previous editions to life. A tradition that we proudly showcased. Once again, we chose La Pechina, that emblematic jewel of Valencian architecture, which has become the venue par excellence for our last three meetups. We also continued with the name “Bunyol”, a delicious Valencian treat, to identify the sponsor levels. Likewise, we kept the foundation of the corporate identity, preserving the color orange and reinterpreting the logo and posters. It has been an honor and a challenge to maintain these details that give it a unique distinction: that of WordCamp Valencia, that of each and every one of those who have contributed over the years.</p>
<h2 id="prompt_12">Team</h2>
<p>WordCamps all over the world are possible thanks to the volunteers behind them. We prepared this event with a lot of care and excitement, with the goal of bringing the community together, learning, attracting new WordPressers, and continuing to build open-source WordPress. For ten months, we dedicated many hours of our free time to completing the project. We learned, corrected, solved problems, innovated, and finally saw our WordCamp come to life.</p>
<p>Let’s meet the people behind the scenes: Lena Iñurrieta, Gustavo Galati, Luis Miguel CLiment, Clara Fayos, Cesar Labadia, Luis Francisco, Toya Seguí, Ricardo Vilar and Eric Seguí.</p>

<p>And alongside us, there was a very special figure: the mentor of WordCamp Valencia 2025. We were lucky to have <strong>Pablo Moratinos</strong>, who accompanied us, guided us, and solved key issues throughout the whole process. He has a long track record in the WordPress Community in Spain and is a benchmark for his experience and commitment. He has an impressive collaboration résumé: he has been team leader at four WordCamps, two at WordCamp Irún and two at WordCamp España Online, and co-organized four, the first being WordCamp Chiclana 2017. To date, he has mentored nine WordCamps, accompanying and supporting organizing teams with professionalism and a clear vision. He came as a mentor and a speaker. </p>

<p>A key piece of this machinery are the volunteers, who travel from different parts of Spain to collaborate and make the WordCamp possible.

<h2 id="prompt_13">Sponsors</h2>
<p>Sponsors are an important pillar of the event; they contribute with financial resources and their presence. WordCamps are not commercial events per se. The companies that join do so with the desire to contribute to the community and to connect more closely with their potential customers. In this sense, they bring special promotions and keep a close relationship with the attendees.</p>

<p>We had a great reception from the audience, with more than 300 highly engaged attendees throughout the day, creating a vibrant atmosphere full of energy and a strong desire to learn, share, and reconnect. In addition to new faces, the Valencia and Spain community gathered. It was amazing to see everyone together again.</p>
<p>After the event, attendees left many reviews on social media, especially on LinkedIn. Here are some of them.</p>

<h2 id="prompt_15">FINAL</h2>
<p>And so we reach the end of WordPress Tech Congress, WordCamp Valencia 2025. We talked about the latest in technology and WordPress. I’ve told you many details, and I still have some left, but I think you now have a good idea of what that November 8 and 9 was like. We had talks of the highest technical and strategic level, with international speakers. We also innovated with new formats such as the Light Talks, Jamie Marsland’s Speed Builder Game, the director of WordPress’s YouTube, for the first time in the Spanish community, and a Contributor Day focused on expanding collaboration with new participants. In addition, we organized a kids’ area for the first time.</p>
<p>I would like to give a special thanks and send a hug to Pablo Moratinos, the mentor, for his support and help, especially at key moments in the project’s management, to Miguel Florido for his marketing advice, to Enric García from DooWebs and his team, who built the website, to Kike Rodríguez for his help animating the WordCamp poster and his promotional video of the attendee wapuu, to Susana Ibañez for her help as an experienced team leader, to Jamie Marsland, Natzir, Marie-Charlotte, Ivelina Dimova, David Carrasco, Jonathan Velez, Yannick, Rafa Villaplana, Gustavo Galati, César Labadia, Luis Miguel Climent, Clara Fayos, Eric Seguí, Toya Seguí, Luis Francisco, Ricardo Vilar… To everyone, speakers, organizers, volunteers, and sponsors, thank you very much for your work. The WordPress Community has come together once again, and it has been thanks to this collective effort.</p>
<p>I send you a handshake and a hug. I’d like to take these lines to say loud and clear: Thank you so much for taking part in this adventure and making it possible!</p>
<p>This WordCamp was yours, and I hope the magic of WordPress continues.</p>
<p>See you at the next WordPress adventure!</p>

<p>This is my story with WordPress, a tool that changed the way I work and how I connect with the world.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-starting-point-from-sociology-to-design"><strong>The Starting Point: From Sociology to Design</strong></h3>
<p>I am often asked how someone with a degree in <strong>Sociology </strong>ended up specializing in web design and development. My answer is always the same: what you study at twenty does not have to determine your profession forever.</p>
<p>I studied Sociology because I wanted to understand human behavior and social structures. That background helps me enormously today when I analyze user behavior on websites, applying scientific rigor and both quantitative and qualitative techniques that I learned during my studies.</p>
<p>My true <strong>passion for technology</strong> began much earlier, driven by my love for writing stories as a child. I discovered that computers were “magic”: you could write, erase, and correct without crossing things out. That fascinated me.</p>
<p>I spent countless hours in front of the computer, learning on my own. In 2001, one of my brothers moved to the United States, and my parents installed internet at home so they could communicate with him. At that time, most families in Spain did not yet have <strong>internet access at home</strong>, so I was lucky. You had to connect using a 56 Kb modem that made a very distinctive noise, and you could not use the phone while you were online. Those were the days.</p>
<p>That same year, I designed my first website for an NGO that my uncle had just founded. I built it using MS FrontPage, with tables, and with the Trebuchet font—one of the few typefaces you could reliably use at the time, and which I found more interesting than Verdana or Tahoma. Some traces of that website can still be found on the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20041202135422/http://www.hogaresdemagana.org/">Wayback Machine</a>. There were no animated GIFs, although I must admit it did have a visitor counter.</p>
<p>While I was studying for my degree, I worked in an internet café, surrounded by children playing Counter-Strike and immigrants making their first video calls to see their families from Spain.</p>
<p>There, I began <strong>designing in a self-taught way</strong>: logos, flyers, and even the sign for the storefront. I learned how to use design software to send files to print, struggling with color conversion, font embedding, and all the quirks of print design.</p>
<p>After graduating in Sociology, I joined a foundation as an intern in the Creativity and Systems department. My first task was laying out a 400-page employment guide. I spent nearly ten years there as an <strong>editorial designer</strong>, specializing in branding and employer branding, helping companies become more attractive to potential candidates.</p>
<p>I also had the opportunity to design my first websites and web applications. I learned how to collaborate with developers and understood what developer handoff really means, as well as the specific challenges of interaction design, which is very different from print design.</p>
<p>However, after almost a decade, I felt I had hit a ceiling. I needed independence and wanted to start my own business.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-discovering-the-wordpress-community-in-2016"><strong>Discovering the WordPress Community in 2016</strong></h3>
<p>In 2016, I decided to register as a self-employed professional. I already knew web design, but in order to offer a better service to my clients, I decided to learn web development. I completed a specialized master’s degree in <strong>WordPress</strong>, where I learned PHP, MySQL, AJAX, JavaScript, and more.</p>
<p>I quickly understood that WordPress was the most valuable content management system for giving <strong>clients independence</strong>. I did not want my clients to depend on a developer just to change a simple piece of text on their website.</p>
<p>At first, WordPress was just a free and open-source tool to me. While looking for WordPress courses to continue learning, I discovered the WordPress Madrid Meetup in 2017. At one of those meetups, I learned that WordCamp Madrid was about to take place, so I attended my first WordCamp.</p>
<p>At WordCamp Madrid, I signed up for <strong>Contributor Day</strong> at the translations table led by <strong><a href="https://tellado.es/">Fernando Tellado</a></strong>. I remember the excitement of translating my first strings for a caching plugin and the thrill of seeing my name appear shortly afterward in the contribution history. That day, I understood that WordPress was not just code: it was people.</p>
<p>A few weeks later, I attended a <a href="https://www.meetup.com/wordpress-collado-villalba/">WordPress Meetup in Collado Villalba</a> and realized that I also had something to contribute. The following month, I was already giving my first talk, about <strong>workation</strong>.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-from-attendee-to-wordcampaholic"><strong>From Attendee to “WordCampaholic”</strong></h3>
<p>My involvement went from zero to one hundred. In 2017, I gave my first talk at a WordCamp, at <a href="https://thewp.world/events/wordcamp-santander-2017/">WordCamp Santander</a>. In 2018, I set myself the challenge of <strong>speaking at every WordCamp in Spain</strong>. The Spanish WordPress community is very active, and in 2018 and 2019 there was almost one WordCamp every month—and I attended all of them. I have given more than 70 unique talks around the world, from Ukraine to Colombia, and I have taken the stage at WordCamp Europe twice.</p>
<p>Today, I am proud to be the fifth person worldwide with the most talks published on <a href="https://wordpress.tv/speakers/ana-cirujano/">WordPress.tv</a>, the first in Spanish, and the first woman globally in this ranking.</p>
<p>For me, sharing knowledge at WordPress events is a way of giving back to the community everything it has taught me. I do it out of love for this project and out of the conviction that <strong>diversity </strong>is essential for the prosperity of our community. In a sector where female role models are sometimes scarce, I try to encourage other women to step onto the stage.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-geographic-freedom-and-the-concept-of-workation"><strong>Geographic Freedom and the Concept of “Workation”</strong></h3>
<p>Working on WordPress websites has allowed me to maintain <strong>geographic freedom</strong>. I have visited more than 40 countries—sometimes on vacation, and other times on <strong>workation</strong>: working while vacation.</p>
<p>I now take advantage of my travels to attend community events and reconnect with f��2��N���� � �v
� ?� @riends. WordPress allows me to travel with purpose, connecting with people from different cultures—something my background in Anthropology taught me to value deeply.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-a-family-called-community"><strong>A Family Called Community</strong></h3>
<p>In the WordPress community, I have found a family.</p>
<p>In 2017, during a retreat in Chiclana de la Frontera organized by <strong><a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/ibonazkoitia/">Ibon Azkoitia</a></strong>, I met many of the main figures in the Spanish WordPress community at the time. Among them, I met my partner, <strong><a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/pablo-moratinos/">Pablo Moratinos</a></strong>. Since 2019, we have co-hosted the podcast <em><a href="https://unbilleteachattanooga.com/">Un billete a Chattanooga</a></em>, where every Monday we share our passion for design and online business. We have also worked together on client projects and other side projects such as 3ymedia School.</p>
<p>I went from being an attendee eager to learn more about WordPress to organizing the <strong><a href="https://www.meetup.com/torrelodones-wordpress-meetup/events/">WordPress Torrelodones Meetup</a></strong> every month and leading <strong><a href="https://europe.wordcamp.org/2024/torrelodones-spain/">WordCamp Torrelodones</a></strong> in 2023 and 2024.</p>
<p>Being an organizer is demanding and “expensive” in terms of time and energy, but the reward of seeing more than two hundred friends come to your town to learn together is priceless. Organizing a WordCamp teaches you transversal skills: team management, conflict resolution, and <strong>the importance of delegation</strong>.</p>
<p>I continue to contribute as a volunteer because I firmly believe in the democratization of the web, and because <strong>contributing itself enriches me professionally</strong>.</p>
<p>I have participated in mentorship programs to learn how to design block themes for WordPress Core; I contribute to the Design Team by improving UX and UI and by leading the design table at more than 30 Contributor Days; in the Community program, I participate as an Event Supporter; in the WordPress.tv team, I upload videos from WordPress events; in the Photos team, I share my photos so others can freely use them on their websites; in the Plugins team, I collaborate on a free plugin; I contribute to Spanish translations—and I am always looking for ways to improve my contributions and give even more back.</p>

<p>Professionally, WordPress is the foundation of my business at <a href="https://anacirujano.com">anacirujano.com</a>. My approach is strategic,<strong>data-driven design</strong>: I analyze user behavior to align user needs with business goals and design solutions focused on conversion.</p>
<p>My visibility within the community led me to become a brand ambassador for <a href="https://www.piensasolutions.com/">Piensa Solutions</a> in 2023 and 2024, a collaboration that allowed me to continue promoting free and open-source software.</p>
<p>In 2025 and 2026, I am collaborating with <a href="https://wordpress.com/es/blog/author/anacirujano/">WordPress.com</a>, creating design-related content in Spanish, writing high-traffic articles for their blog, delivering webinars with thousands of views, and attending events to share knowledge about design and WordPress.</p>
<p>I also continue to innovate. I am a co-founder and designer of <a href="https://ploogins.com/">Ploogins</a>, an application that adds features to WordPress using <strong>artificial intelligence</strong>. I met my partners on this project (the Sirvelia team) at a WordCamp, and since then we have continued collaborating on multiple projects.</p>
<p>At the same time, I continue learning and teaching design, betting on microlearning as a way to teach visual and interaction design with WordPress.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-my-message-to-you"><strong>My Message to You</strong></h3>
<p>If you are reading this and want to learn more about WordPress and meet people who will support you on your freelance journey, my advice is simple: attend a WordPress event, whether it is a Meetup or a WordCamp.</p>
<p>The WordPress community has given me lifelong friends and the satisfaction of contributing to a global project.</p>
<p>This is my story but it could be yours.</p>
<p><strong>See you at the next WordCamp!</strong></p>

<p>Esta es mi historia con WordPress, una herramienta que cambió mi forma de trabajar y cómo me conecto con el mundo.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-el-punto-de-partida-de-la-sociologia-al-diseno"><strong>El punto de partida: de la Sociología al Diseño</strong></h2>
<p>A menudo me preguntan cómo una licenciada en <strong>Sociología </strong>terminó especializándose en diseño y desarrollo web. Mi respuesta siempre es la misma: la carrera que estudiaste con veinte años no tiene por qué condicionar tu profesión actual. </p>
<p>Estudié Sociología porque quería entender el comportamiento humano y las estructuras sociales. Este enfoque me ayuda mucho hoy cuando analizo el comportamiento de los usuarios en el sitio web, con rigor científico y con técnicas cuantitativas y cualitativas que aprendí en la carrera.</p>
<p>Mi verdadera<strong> pasión por la tecnología</strong> nació porque de niña me encantaba escribir relatos. Y descubrí que los ordenadores eran «magia»: podías escribir, borrar y corregir sin tachones, algo que me fascinaba.</p>
<p>Me pasaba horas y horas en el ordenador, aprendiendo de manera autodidacta. En 2001 uno de mis hermanos se fue a vivir a Estados Unidos y mis padres pusieron internet en casa para poder hablar con él. Por aquel entonces, en España, la mayoría de las familias todavía no tenían <strong>conexión a internet en casa</strong>, así que tuve suerte. Tenías que conectarte con un módem de 56Kb que hacía ruido para conectarse y con el que no podías hablar por teléfono si estabas conectado a internet. ¡Qué tiempos aquellos!</p>
<p>Diseñé mi primer sitio web ese mismo año, para la ONG que acababa de fundar un tío mío. La hice con MS Frontpage, con tablas. Y con el tipo de letra Trebuchet, que era de los pocos que se podían usar y que por esa época me parecía que era más interesante que Verdana o Tahoma. Aún se puede ver algo en <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20041202135422/http://www.hogaresdemagana.org/">Wayback Machine</a>. No tenía GIFs animados aunque no negaré que tenía contador de visitas.</p>
<p>Mientras estudiaba la carrera, trabajaba en un <em>cibercafé</em>, rodeada de niños que jugaban al Counter Strike y personas inmigrantes que venían a hacer sus primeras videollamadas para ver a sus familias desde España. </p>
<p>Allí empecé a diseñar de manera autodidacta: logotipos, folletos e incluso el rótulo para la fachada. Aprendí a usar programas de diseño para mandar trabajos a imprenta, peleándome con la conversión de color, incrustar fuentes, y otras peculiaridades del diseño para imprenta.</p>
<p>Tras licenciarme en Sociología, entré como becaria en el departamento de Creatividad y Sistemas de una Fundación. Mi primera tarea fue la de maquetar una guía de empleo de 400 páginas. Pasé allí casi diez años como diseñadora editorial, especializándome en branding y employer branding, ayudando a las empresas a ser atractivas para sus candidatos. </p>
<p>También tuve la oportunidad de diseñar mis primeros sitios y aplicaciones web, aprendí a colaborar con desarrolladores y entendí en qué consiste el developer handoff y las peculiaridades del diseño de interacción, que no tiene nada que ver con el diseño para imprenta.</p>
<p>Sin embargo, tras casi una década, sentí que había tocado techo. Necesitaba independencia y montar mi propio negocio.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-conoci-la-comunidad-wordpress-en-2016"><strong>Conocí la Comunidad WordPress en 2016</strong></h2>
<p>En 2016 decidí darme de alta como trabajadora autónoma. Sabía de diseño web, pero para poder ofrecer un mejor servicio a mis clientes, decidí aprender <strong>desarrollo web</strong>. Hice un máster especializado en <strong>WordPress </strong>en el que aprendí PHP, MySQL, AJAX, JavaScript… </p>
<p>Comprendí que WordPress era el gestor de contenidos más valioso para dar<strong> independencia al cliente</strong>. No quería que mis clientes dependieran de un informático para cambiar un simple texto en su web.</p>
<p>Al principio, WordPress era para mí solo una herramienta de software libre. Estuve buscando cursos de WordPress para continuar aprendiendo y descubrí la Meetup de WordPress Madrid en 2017. En una de las reuniones, me enteré de que se iba a celebrar WordCamp Madrid, así que acudí a mi primera WordCamp.</p>
<p>En WordCamp Madrid, me apunté al <strong>Contributor Day</strong> en la mesa de traducciones liderada por <a href="https://tellado.es/">Fernando Tellado</a>. Recuerdo la emoción al traducir mis primeras cadenas de texto para un plugin de caché y la emoción de ver, poco después, mi nombre en el historial de contribuciones. Ese día comprendí que WordPress no era solo código: eran personas. </p>
<p>Unas semanas más tarde, asistí a una <a href="https://www.meetup.com/wordpress-collado-villalba/">Meetup de WordPress en Collado Villalba</a> y me di cuenta de que yo también tenía algo que aportar. Al mes siguiente, ya estaba dando mi primera charla sobre <strong>workation</strong>.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-de-asistente-a-wordcampaholic"><strong>De asistente a «WordCampaholic»</strong></h2>
<p>Mi implicación fue de cero a cien. En 2017 di mi primera charla en una WordCamp, en <a href="https://thewp.world/events/wordcamp-santander-2017/">WordCamp Santander</a>. En 2018, me propuse el reto de <strong>asistir como ponente a todas las WordCamps de España</strong>. WordPress España es una comunidad muy activa y en 2018 y 2019 había una WordCamp al mes: yo acudí a todas ellas. He dado más de 70 charlas únicas en todo el mundo, desde Ucrania hasta Colombia, pasando dos veces por los escenarios de WordCamp Europe. </p>
<p>Hoy tengo el orgullo de ser la quinta persona del mundo con más charlas publicadas en <a href="http://wordpress.tv">WordPress.tv</a>, la primera en español y la primera mujer a nivel mundial en este ranking. </p>
<p>Para mí, compartir conocimiento en eventos de WordPress es una forma de devolver a la comunidad todo lo que me ha enseñado. Lo hago por amor a este proyecto y por la convicción de que la <strong>diversidad </strong>es imprescindible para la prosperidad de nuestra comunidad. En un sector donde a veces faltan referentes femeninos, trato de animar a otras compañeras a subir al escenario.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-la-libertad-geografica-y-el-concepto-de-workation"><strong>La libertad geográfica y el concepto de «Workation»</strong></h2>
<p>Trabajar desarrollando sitios web con WordPress me ha permitido mantener mi <strong>libertad geográfica</strong>. He visitado más de 40 países. Algunas veces, de vacaciones y otras<strong>, </strong>de <strong>workation</strong>: trabajar mientras estás de vacaciones. </p>
<p>Ahora aprovecho mis viajes para acudir a los eventos de comunidad y reencontrarme con mis amigos. WordPress me permite viajar con propósito, conectando con personas de diversas culturas, algo que mi formación en Antropología me enseñó a valorar profundamente.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-una-familia-llamada-comunidad"><strong>Una familia llamada Comunidad</strong></h2>
<p>En la comunidad WordPress he encontrado una familia. </p>
<p>En 2017, en un retiro en Chiclana de la Frontera organizado por <strong><a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/ibonazkoitia/">Ibon Azkoitia</a></strong>, conocí a los principales referentes de la comunidad de WordPress en España de aquellos años. Entre ellos, conocí a mi compañero <strong><a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/pablo-moratinos/">Pablo Moratinos</a></strong>, con quien desde 2019, co-presento el podcast <a href="https://unbilleteachattanooga.com/"><strong>«Un billete a Chattanooga»</strong></a>, donde cada lunes compartimos nuestra pasión por el diseño y los negocios online. Además, hemos trabajado juntos en proyectos de clientes y en otros side-projects como 3ymedia School.</p>
<p>Pasé de ser una asistente con mucho interés en aprender más sobre WordPress, a organizar la <strong><a href="https://www.meetup.com/torrelodones-wordpress-meetup/events/">Meetup de WordPress Torrelodones</a></strong> cada mes y liderar la <strong><a href="https://europe.wordcamp.org/2024/torrelodones-spain/">WordCamp Torrelodones</a></strong> en 2023 y 2024. </p>
<p>Ser organizadora es duro y «sale caro» en términos de tiempo y energía, pero la recompensa de ver a tus más de doscientos amigos visitar tu pueblo para aprender juntos no tiene precio. Al organizar una WordCamp, aprendes competencias transversales: gestión de equipos, resolución de conflictos y la importancia de <strong>saber delegar</strong>.</p>
<p>Actualmente, continúo contribuyendo de forma voluntaria porque creo firmemente en la democratización de la web y porque <strong>la propia contribución me enriquece profesionalmente</strong>.</p>
<p>He participado en programas de mentoría para aprender a diseñar temas de bloques para el Core de WordPress, participo en el equipo de diseño contribuyendo a mejorar UX y UI y también liderando la mesa de diseño en más de 30 Contributor Days; en el programa de Comunidad participo como Event Supporter; en el equipo de <a href="http://wordpress.tv">WordPress.tv</a> subo vídeos de los eventos WordPress; en el equipo de Photos, comparto mis fotos para que otros puedan usarlas libremente en su web; en el equipo de Plugins, colaboro con un plugin gratuito, en las traducciones al español… Y siempre busco cómo mejorar mis contribuciones y poder aportar cada vez más.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-el-futuro-diseno-datos-e-inteligencia-artificial">El futuro: Diseño, Datos e Inteligencia Artificial</h2>
<p>Profesionalmente, WordPress es la base de mi negocio en <a href="http://anacirujano.com">anacirujano.com</a>. Mi enfoque es el <strong>diseño estratégico basado en datos</strong>: analizo el comportamiento de las personas usuarias para alinear sus necesidades con los objetivos del negocio y diseñar soluciones orientadas a la conversión.</p>
<p>Mi visibilidad en la comunidad me llevó a ser embajadora de marca de <strong><a href="https://www.piensasolutions.com/">Piensa Solutions</a></strong> en 2023 y 2024, una colaboración que me permitió seguir haciendo divulgación del software libre. </p>
<p>En 2025 y 2026 colaboro con <a href="https://wordpress.com/es/blog/author/anacirujano/"><strong>WordPress.com</strong></a> creando contenido sobre diseño en español, escribiendo artículos en el blog que tienen muchas visitas, impartiendo webinars con un montón de visualizaciones y acudiendo a eventos a compartir conocimiento sobre diseño y WordPress.</p>
<p>Además, sigo innovando. Soy cofundadora y diseñadora de <strong><a href="https://ploogins.com/">Ploogins</a></strong>, una aplicación para añadir funcionalidades a WordPress que funciona con <strong>Inteligencia Artificial</strong>. A mis socios en este proyecto (el equipo de Sirvelia), los conocí en una WordCamp y desde entonces no hemos dejado de colaborar en varios proyectos.</p>
