The GDPR Compliance team is looking for help to test the privacy tools that are currently being developed in core. </p>\n\n<h2>What is GDPR?</h2>\n\n<p>GDPR stands for <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation\">General Data Protection Regulation</a> and is intended to strengthen and unify data protection for all individuals within the European Union. Its primary aim is to give control back to the EU residents over their personal data. <br /></p>\n\n<p>Why the urgency? Although the GDPR was introduced two years ago, it becomes  enforceable starting May 25, 2018.</p>\n\n<h2>Make WordPress GDPR Compliance Team</h2>\n\n<p>Currently, the GDPR Compliance Team understands that helping WordPress-based sites become compliant is a large and ongoing task. The team is focusing on creating a comprehensive core policy, plugin guidelines, privacy tools and documentation. All of this requires your help.<br /></p>\n\n<p>The GDPR Compliance Team is focusing on four main areas:</p>\n\n<ul>\n    <li>Add functionality to assist site owners in creating comprehensive privacy policies for their websites.</li>\n    <li>Create guidelines for plugins to become GDPR ready.</li>\n    <li>Add administration tools to facilitate compliance and encourage user privacy in general.</li>\n    <li>Add documentation to educate site owners on privacy, the main GDPR compliance requirements, and on how to use the new privacy tools.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>Don’t we already have a privacy policy?</h2>\n\n<p>Yes and no. That said, The GDPR puts tighter guidelines and restrictions. Though we have many plugins that create privacy pages, we need means to generate a unified, comprehensive privacy policy. We will need tools for users to easily come into compliance.<br /></p>\n\n<p>Site owners will be able to create GDPR compliant privacy policy in three steps:</p>\n\n<ol>\n    <li>Adding a dedicated page for the policy.<br /></li>\n    <li>Adding privacy information from plugins.</li>\n    <li>Reviewing and publishing the policy.</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>A new &#8220;postbox&#8221; will be added to the Edit Page screen when editing the policy. All plugins that collect or store user data will be able to add privacy information there. In addition it will alert the site owners when any privacy information changes after a plugin is activated, deactivated, or updated.<br /></p>\n\n<p>There is a new functionality to confirm user requests by email address. It is intended for site owners to be able to verify requests from users for displaying, downloading, or anonymizing of personal data.<br /></p>\n\n<p>A new &#8220;Privacy&#8221; page is added under the &#8220;Tools&#8221; menu. It will display new, confirmed requests from users, as well as already fulfilled requests. It will also contain the tools for exporting and anonymizing of personal data and for requesting email confirmation to avoid abuse attempts.<br /></p>\n\n<p>New section on privacy will be added to the <a href=\"https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/\">Plugin Handbook</a>. It will contain some general information on user privacy, what a plugin should do to be compliant, and also tips and examples on how to use the new privacy related functionality in WordPress.<br /></p>\n\n<p>The new privacy tools are scheduled for release at the end of April or beginning of May 2018.</p>\n\n<h2>How can you get involved?</h2>\n\n<p>We would love to have your help. The first step is awareness and education. For more information about the upcoming privacy tools see ﻿<a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/03/28/roadmap-tools-for-gdpr-compliance/\">the roadmap</a>.</p>\n\n<p>If you would like to get involved in building WordPress Core and testing the new privacy tools, please join the #gdpr-compliance channel in the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/chat/\">Make WordPress</a> Slack group.</p>\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:30:\"com-wordpress:feed-additions:1\";a:1:{s:7:\"post-id\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4:\"5728\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:2;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:36:\"\n		\n		\n		\n		\n				\n		\n\n		\n		\n				\n			\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:4:{s:0:\"\";a:6:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:48:\"WordPress 4.9.5 Security and Maintenance Release\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:84:\"https://wordpress.org/news/2018/04/wordpress-4-9-5-security-and-maintenance-release/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 03 Apr 2018 19:56:54 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"category\";a:2:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:8:\"Releases\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}i:1;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3:\"4.9\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:34:\"https://wordpress.org/news/?p=5645\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:1:{s:0:\"\";a:1:{s:11:\"isPermaLink\";s:5:\"false\";}}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:376:\"WordPress 4.9.5 is now available.

That growth hit a significant milestone this month when <a href=\"https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/cm-wordpress/all/all\">W3Techs reported that WordPress now powers over 30% of sites on the web.</a></p>\n\n<p>The percentage is determined based on W3Techs’ review of the top 10 million sites on the web, and it’s a strong indicator of the popularity and flexibility of WordPress as a platform.</p>\n\n<p>If you would like to have hand in helping to grow WordPress even further, <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/\">you can get involved today</a>.</p>\n\n<h2>WordPress Jargon Glossary Goes Live</h2>\n\n<p>The WordPress Marketing Team has been hard at work lately putting together <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/marketing/2018/02/28/wordpress-jargon-glossary/\">a comprehensive glossary of WordPress jargon</a> to help newcomers to the project become more easily acquainted with things.</p>\n\n<p>The glossary <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/marketing/2018/02/28/wordpress-jargon-glossary/\">is available here</a> along with a downloadable PDF to make it simpler to reference offline.</p>\n\n<p>Publishing this resource is part of an overall effort to make WordPress more easily accessible for people who are not so familiar with the project.

It has reinforced the commitment of the GDPR Compliance Team to continue working on enhancements to WordPress core that allow site owners to improve privacy standards.</p>\n\n<p>The team&#x27;s work, and the wider privacy project, spans four areas: Adding tools which will allow site administrators to collect the information they need about their sites, examining the plugin guidelines with privacy in mind, enhancing privacy standards in WordPress core, and creating documentation focused on best practices in online privacy.</p>\n\n<p>To get involved with the project, you can <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/03/28/roadmap-tools-for-gdpr-compliance/\">view the roadmap</a>, <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/gdpr-compliance/\">follow the updates</a>, <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=!closed&amp;keywords=~gdpr\">submit patches</a>, and join the #gdpr-compliance channel in the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/chat\">Making WordPress Slack group</a>.

Unfortunately it introduced a bug that prevented many sites from automatically updating to future releases. To remedy this issue, <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2018/02/wordpress-4-9-4-maintenance-release/\">version 4.9.4 was released</a> the following day requiring many people to manually update their sites.</p>\n\n<p>While this kind of issue is always regrettable, the good thing is that it was fixed quickly, and that not all sites had updated to 4.9.3 yet, which meant they bypassed the bug in that version.</p>\n\n<p>You can find out more technical information about this issue <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/02/06/wordpress-4-9-4-release-the-technical-details/\">on the Core development blog</a>.</p>\n\n<h2>The WordCamp Incubator is Back</h2>\n\n<p>In 2016, the Global Community Team ran an experimental program to help spread WordPress to underserved areas by providing more significant organizing support for their first WordCamp event. This program was dubbed the WordCamp Incubator, and it was so successful in the three cities where it ran that <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2018/02/wordcamp-incubator-2-0/\">the program is back for 2018</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Right now, the Community Team is looking for cities to be a part of this year’s incubator by <a href=\"https://wordcampcentral.polldaddy.com/s/wordcamp-incubator-program-2018-city-application\">taking applications</a>. Additionally, each incubator community will need an experienced WordCamp organizer to assist them as a co-lead organizer for their event — if that sounds interesting to you, then you can <a href=\"https://wordcampcentral.polldaddy.com/s/wordcamp-incubator-program-2018-co-lead-application\">fill in the application form for co-leads</a>.</p>\n\n<p>You can find out further information about the WordCamp Incubator <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/2018/02/19/wordcamp-incubator-program-2018-announcement/\">on the Community Team blog</a>.</p>\n\n<h2>WordPress Meetup Roundtables scheduled for March</h2>\n\n<p>In order to assist local WordPress meetup organizers with running their meetup groups, some members of the Community Team have organized <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/2018/02/23/wordpress-meetup-roundtables-scheduled-for-march/\">weekly meetup roundtable discussions through the month of March</a>.</p>\n\n<p>These will be run as video chats at 16:00 UTC every Wednesday this month and will be a great place for meetup organizers to come together and help each other out with practical ideas and advice.</p>\n\n<p>If you are not already in the WordPress meetup program and would like to join, you can find out more information in <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/handbook/meetup-organizer/welcome/\">the WordPress Meetup Organizer Handbook</a>.</p>\n\n<h2>GDPR Compliance in WordPress Core</h2>\n\n<p>The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an upcoming regulation that will affect all online services across Europe. In order to prepare for this, a working group has been formed to make sure that WordPress is compliant with the GDPR regulations.</p>\n\n<p>Aside from the fact that this will be a requirement for the project going forward, it will also have an important and significant impact on the privacy and security of WordPress as a whole. The working group has posted <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/02/19/proposed-roadmap-tools-for-gdpr-compliance/\">their proposed roadmap</a> for this project and it looks very promising.</p>\n\n<p>To get involved in building WordPress Core, jump into the #gdpr-compliance channel in the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/chat/\">Making WordPress Slack group</a>, and follow <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/\">the Core team blog</a>.</p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" />\n\n<h2>Further Reading:</h2>\n\n<ul>\n    <li>WPShout published <a href=\"https://wpshout.com/complete-guide-wordpress-security/\">a thorough guide to WordPress security</a>.</li>\n    <li>The Community Team has published interesting statistics from the WordCamp program in <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/2018/02/27/wordcamps-in-2016/\">2016</a> and <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/2018/02/28/wordcamps-in-2017/\">2017</a>.</li>\n    <li><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/2018/02/15/potential-addition-of-a-new-onboarding-team/\">An intriguing proposal has been made</a> for a new ‘Onboarding’ team to be started in the WordPress project.</li>\n    <li>The new editing experience for WordPress, named Gutenberg, continues to be actively developed with <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/02/16/whats-new-in-gutenberg-16th-february/\">a feature-packed release</a> this past month.</li>\n    <li>The Advanced WordPress Facebook group <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vS_jR5-nIo\">held an interview with WordPress co-founder, Matt Mullenweg</a> about the Gutenberg project.</li>\n    <li><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/meta/2018/02/27/two-factor-authentication-on-wp-org/\">Two factor authentication is on its way to the WordPress.org network</a> — this will be a great improvement to the overall security of the project.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p><em>If you have a story we should consider including in the next “Month in WordPress” post, please <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/month-in-wordpress-submissions/\">submit it here</a>.</em></p>\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:30:\"com-wordpress:feed-additions:1\";a:1:{s:7:\"post-id\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4:\"5613\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:5;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:39:\"\n		\n		\n		\n		\n				\n		\n		\n\n		\n		\n				\n			\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:4:{s:0:\"\";a:6:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:22:\"WordCamp Incubator 2.0\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:58:\"https://wordpress.org/news/2018/02/wordcamp-incubator-2-0/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 21 Feb 2018 22:53:20 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"category\";a:3:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:9:\"Community\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}i:1;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:6:\"Events\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}i:2;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:8:\"WordCamp\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:34:\"https://wordpress.org/news/?p=5577\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:1:{s:0:\"\";a:1:{s:11:\"isPermaLink\";s:5:\"false\";}}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:343:\"WordCamps are informal, community-organized events that are put together by a team of local WordPress users who have a passion for growing their communities.

This has worked very well in many communities, with over 120 WordCamps being hosted around the world in 2017.<br /></p>\n\n<p>Sometimes though, passionate and enthusiastic community members can’t pull together enough people in their community to make a WordCamp happen. To address this, we introduced <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2016/02/experiment-wordcamp-incubator/\">the WordCamp Incubator program</a> in 2016.<br /></p>\n\n<p>The goal of the incubator program is <strong>to help spread WordPress to underserved areas by providing more significant organizing support for their first WordCamp event.</strong> In 2016, members of <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/\">the global community team</a> worked with volunteers in three cities — Denpasar, Harare and Medellín — giving direct, hands-on assistance in making local WordCamps possible. All three of these WordCamp incubators <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/2017/06/30/wordcamp-incubator-report/\">were a great success</a>, so we&#x27;re bringing the incubator program back for 2018.<br /></p>\n\n<p>Where should the next WordCamp incubators be? If you have always wanted a WordCamp in your city but haven’t been able to get a community started, this is a great opportunity. We will be taking applications for the next few weeks, then will get in touch with everyone who applied to discuss the possibilities. We will announce the chosen cities by the end of March.<br /></p>\n\n<p><strong>To apply, </strong><a href=\"https://wordcampcentral.polldaddy.com/s/wordcamp-incubator-program-2018-city-application\"><strong>fill in the application</strong></a><strong> by March 15, 2018.</strong> You don’t need to have any specific information handy, it’s just a form to let us know you’re interested. You can apply to nominate your city even if you don’t want to be the main organizer, but for this to work well we will need local liaisons and volunteers, so please only nominate cities where you live or work so that we have at least one local connection to begin.<br /></p>\n\n<p>We&#x27;re looking forward to hearing from you!<br /></p>\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:30:\"com-wordpress:feed-additions:1\";a:1:{s:7:\"post-id\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4:\"5577\";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:6;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:36:\"\n		\n		\n		\n		\n				\n		\n\n		\n		\n				\n			\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:4:{s:0:\"\";a:6:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:35:\"WordPress 4.9.4 Maintenance Release\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:71:\"https://wordpress.org/news/2018/02/wordpress-4-9-4-maintenance-release/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 06 Feb 2018 16:17:55 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"category\";a:2:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:8:\"Releases\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}i:1;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3:\"4.9\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:34:\"https://wordpress.org/news/?p=5559\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:1:{s:0:\"\";a:1:{s:11:\"isPermaLink\";s:5:\"false\";}}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:350:\"WordPress 4.9.4 is now available.

Hinted at during <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGS-tKTXw4Y\">AMP Conf 2018</a> earlier this year, 0.7 is a major release that contains significant new features.</p>\n\n<p>This release adds Native AMP support for all of the default widgets, embeds, and commenting. Notifications will be triggered for posts that contain content with validation errors or if you use a theme or plugin that adds invalid AMP markup.</p>\n\n<p>While earlier versions of AMP displayed content in a way that was different from a site&#8217;s theme, 0.7 creates a native experience. For example, if you visit the <a href=\"https://ampdemo.xwp.io/\">AMP Conf WordPress Theme Demo site</a> on an iPhone 7, the site looks exactly the same. As you can see in the image below, you can&#8217;t tell it&#8217;s running AMP. <br /></p>\n\n<img />\n    AMP Conf Demo Theme\n\n\n<p>Before 0.7 is officially released, the development team is asking for users to put 0.7 RC 1 through its paces and <a href=\"https://github.com/Automattic/amp-wp/issues\">report issues</a> on the project&#8217;s GitHub page.

To be really excellent at something and then switch to something else altogether is fascinating to see. Very often those people bubble to the top of whatever career they venture into.</p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s HeroPress replay is titled &#8220;<a href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/moving-on-from-moving-on-stage/\">Moving On From Moving On Stage</a>&#8221; by Karin Taliga. Karin is a dancer, and has had a rich and full career in that field. But the web called to her. Like the siren&#8217;s song, always keening &#8220;Come play here, it&#8217;s wonderful!&#8221;</p>\n<p>When someone recommended I contact Karin 2 years ago she was winding up her dancing career and moving into a full time career as a web developer. The whole concept of a second career sounds exciting. I&#8217;ve always thought of &#8220;career&#8221; as something you do your whole life. But Karin has more adult life ahead of her than behind her, and I&#8217;m super excited to see where she goes with it.</p>\n<p>Check out Karin&#8217;s original post from May of 2016.</p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\"><p><a href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/moving-on-from-moving-on-stage/\">Moving On From Moving On Stage</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<div class=\"rtsocial-container rtsocial-container-align-right rtsocial-horizontal\"><div class=\"rtsocial-twitter-horizontal\"><div class=\"rtsocial-twitter-horizontal-button\"><a title=\"Tweet: Second Careers\" class=\"rtsocial-twitter-button\" href=\"https://twitter.com/share?text=Second%20Careers&via=heropress&url=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fsecond-careers%2F\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"></a></div></div><div class=\"rtsocial-fb-horizontal fb-light\"><div class=\"rtsocial-fb-horizontal-button\"><a title=\"Like: Second Careers\" class=\"rtsocial-fb-button rtsocial-fb-like-light\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fsecond-careers%2F\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"></a></div></div><div class=\"rtsocial-linkedin-horizontal\"><div class=\"rtsocial-linkedin-horizontal-button\"><a class=\"rtsocial-linkedin-button\" href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fsecond-careers%2F&title=Second+Careers\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share: Second Careers\"></a></div></div><div class=\"rtsocial-pinterest-horizontal\"><div class=\"rtsocial-pinterest-horizontal-button\"><a class=\"rtsocial-pinterest-button\" href=\"https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://heropress.com/second-careers/&media=https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/042418-150x150.jpg&description=Second Careers\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pin: Second Careers\"></a></div></div><a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"perma-link\" href=\"https://heropress.com/second-careers/\" title=\"Second Careers\"></a></div><p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://heropress.com/second-careers/\">Second Careers</a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://heropress.com\">HeroPress</a>.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 25 Apr 2018 11:30:56 +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:\"\";}}}}}i:6;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:59:\"WPTavern: WordPress for iOS and Gutenberg Don’t Get Along\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=80236\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:67:\"https://wptavern.com/wordpress-for-ios-and-gutenberg-dont-get-along\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3064:\"<p>When it comes to editing and crafting content on the go, the <a href=\"https://apps.wordpress.com/mobile/\">WordPress Mobile apps</a> are a good choice. The question is, how does the editor in the iOS app interact with content written in Gutenberg? Let&#8217;s find out.</p>\n\n<h2>Quick Edits Turn Into Lengthy, Frustrating Fixes<br /></h2>\n\n<p>For testing purposes, I used a simple scenario that many users may run into. I&#8217;ve written and published a post in Gutenberg using paragraph, unordered lists, and image blocks. I then used the WordPress for iOS mobile app to access the post, correct a typo, and save it. The goal is to see if content is affected by saving it in a different editor.<br /></p>\n\n<p>Here is what the content looks like written and published in Gutenberg.</p>\n\n<img />\n    Content Written and Published in Gutenberg\n\n\n<p>Here is what the post looks like in the iOS app. It displays what appears to be Comment shortcodes at the beginning of each paragraph.<br /></p>\n\n<img />\n    Gutenberg Content in WordPress for Ios\n\n\n<p>After correcting a typo and saving the changes, this is what happened to the post. As you can see, what was supposed to be a quick fix has turned into a lengthy process of fixing the entire article in Gutenberg.</p>\n\n<img />\n    Content Written in Gutenberg After Editing in the WordPress for iOS App\n\n\n<p>All of the content runs together as one giant block. To say that this is frustrating is an understatement, especially if you&#8217;re on the road and don&#8217;t have access to a desktop or tablet that can load the WordPress backend.  <br /></p>\n\n<p>Here is what the content looks like in Gutenberg after saving the edits in the iOS app. There are large gaps and a few of the blocks have warnings stating that they appear to have been modified externally.</p>\n\n<img />\n    Content in Gutenberg After It Was Edited in the WordPress for iOS App\n\n\n<p>Clicking the convert to block buttons turns the messages into blocks but it doesn&#8217;t return the formatting and in some cases, content goes missing. Before editing in the iOS app, this block contained a quote with a citation. Now it&#8217;s empty. <br /></p>\n\n<img />\n    Quote Block Is Missing Content\n\n\n<p>WordPress has post revisions so I was able to quickly restore the breaking changes introduced by the iOS app. But this user experience between Gutenberg and the WordPress for iOS app is a great example of how something so simple can easily turn into a perceived disaster by users and ultimately, tarnish the new editor&#8217;s reputation.</p>\n\n<p>Searching the Gutenberg repository on Github for iOS <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+ios\">produces some results</a>, but none refer to the compatibility issues I experienced. </p>\n\n<p>I found out the hard way and will not be making any more changes to posts written in Gutenberg in the iOS app until compatibility between both editors exists. I recommend you don&#8217;t as well unless you want to fix a lot more than a typo. <br /></p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 24 Apr 2018 23:33:56 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:7;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:60:\"Dev Blog: Celebrate the WordPress 15th Anniversary on May 27\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:34:\"https://wordpress.org/news/?p=5753\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:86:\"https://wordpress.org/news/2018/04/celebrate-the-wordpress-15th-anniversary-on-may-27/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3246:\"<p>May 27, 2018 is the <strong>15th anniversary</strong> of the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2003/05/wordpress-now-available/\">first WordPress release</a> <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2003/05/wordpress-now-available/\">﻿</a>— and we can&#8217;t wait to celebrate!</p>\n\n<img src=\"https://i1.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2018/04/wp15_mark-1.png?resize=342%2C268&ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5841\" width=\"342\" height=\"268\" />\n\n<h2>Party time!</h2>\n\n<p>Join WordPress fans all over the world in celebrating the 15th Anniversary of WordPress by throwing your own party!

But it no longer scares me.\" /><p>A couple years ago I was given possibly the biggest gift the WordPress community has ever given me. The organizers of WordCamp Pune called me to speak, and the community sent me. It was an amazing experience that changed my life.</p>\n<p>While I was there I met Mahangu Weerasinghe, a wonderful man from Sri Lanka. He spoke about things that really really resonated with me. His talk was about linguistic accessibility to the Internet in Southeast Asia. Many people told me that English is enough to communicate to all of India, but Mahangu pointed out that MILLIONS of people in Southeast Asia cannot read or understand a single language on the web, let alone English.</p>\n<p>WordPress can change that, and that&#8217;s where WordPress really matters.  It&#8217;s wonderful that people around the world can make a living with it, and it&#8217;s wonderful that it gives creative outlet to so many, but <strong>important</strong> that WordPress can give global voice to those who have none.</p>\n<p>Mahangu felt for a long time that he had no voice. WordPress changed that for him, and now he&#8217;s using WordPress to change that for everyone.  He&#8217;s been hugely inspirational to me, and I hope he is for you as well.</p>\n<blockquote

with a huge amount of pleasure and excitement that we&#8217;re announcing the Beta 2 release of BP 3.0 today ready for testing and feedback.</p>\n<p>BuddyPress 3.0 will be a major milestone release for us and one we&#8217;re all really excited about, it&#8217;s been a long time coming but finally we are close to releasing the first template pack for BP, this is a completely new &#8216;theme&#8217; or set of template files and functionality designed to replace bp-legacy which has served us so well since it&#8217;s inception way back in the  major release of 1.7 where we introduced &#8216;Theme Compatibility&#8217;, and we&#8217;re all really eager for any feedback during these beta phases you may grab a copy of our beta1 release <a href=\"https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress.3.0.0-beta1.zip\">here</a> to test with.</p>\n<p>Nouveau &#8211; as our new template pack has been named &#8211; provides an all new clean set of markup files, refactored from the ground up to be semantic and accessible. Styles are re-written and provided as Sass partials for developers if wanting to build out new packs. A lot of core functionality for components has been re-written and re-located to be sourced from include files by component in the template directory which allows even easier access to modify functions by overloading to a new theme or child theme. Our major loops, members, activity etc have been re-factored to run under Backbone for a smooth Ajax experience and indeed all the Javascript functionality is re-written to be far more modular than it was before and has a far better modern feel to it&#8217;s structuring.</p>\n<p>For the first time we have brought in the Customizer to provide user option choices and a range of layout configurations may be selected.

The GDPR Compliance team is looking for help to test the privacy tools that are currently being developed in core. </p>\n\n<h2>What is GDPR?</h2>\n\n<p>GDPR stands for <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation\">General Data Protection Regulation</a> and is intended to strengthen and unify data protection for all individuals within the European Union. Its primary aim is to give control back to the EU residents over their personal data. <br /></p>\n\n<p>Why the urgency? Although the GDPR was introduced two years ago, it becomes  enforceable starting May 25, 2018.</p>\n\n<h2>Make WordPress GDPR Compliance Team</h2>\n\n<p>Currently, the GDPR Compliance Team understands that helping WordPress-based sites become compliant is a large and ongoing task. The team is focusing on creating a comprehensive core policy, plugin guidelines, privacy tools and documentation. All of this requires your help.<br /></p>\n\n<p>The GDPR Compliance Team is focusing on four main areas:</p>\n\n<ul>\n    <li>Add functionality to assist site owners in creating comprehensive privacy policies for their websites.</li>\n    <li>Create guidelines for plugins to become GDPR ready.</li>\n    <li>Add administration tools to facilitate compliance and encourage user privacy in general.</li>\n    <li>Add documentation to educate site owners on privacy, the main GDPR compliance requirements, and on how to use the new privacy tools.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>Don’t we already have a privacy policy?</h2>\n\n<p>Yes and no. That said, The GDPR puts tighter guidelines and restrictions. Though we have many plugins that create privacy pages, we need means to generate a unified, comprehensive privacy policy. We will need tools for users to easily come into compliance.<br /></p>\n\n<p>Site owners will be able to create GDPR compliant privacy policy in three steps:</p>\n\n<ol>\n    <li>Adding a dedicated page for the policy.<br /></li>\n    <li>Adding privacy information from plugins.</li>\n    <li>Reviewing and publishing the policy.</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>A new &#8220;postbox&#8221; will be added to the Edit Page screen when editing the policy. All plugins that collect or store user data will be able to add privacy information there. In addition it will alert the site owners when any privacy information changes after a plugin is activated, deactivated, or updated.<br /></p>\n\n<p>There is a new functionality to confirm user requests by email address. It is intended for site owners to be able to verify requests from users for displaying, downloading, or anonymizing of personal data.<br /></p>\n\n<p>A new &#8220;Privacy&#8221; page is added under the &#8220;Tools&#8221; menu. It will display new, confirmed requests from users, as well as already fulfilled requests. It will also contain the tools for exporting and anonymizing of personal data and for requesting email confirmation to avoid abuse attempts.<br /></p>\n\n<p>New section on privacy will be added to the <a href=\"https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/\">Plugin Handbook</a>.

In addition to using up and down arrows, this version introduces the ability to sort blocks by <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/6041\">dragging and dropping</a>.</p>\n\n<p>If you hover the cursor over the up and down arrows on the left side of a block, you&#8217;ll see a hand icon. Simply click, hold, and drag the block up or down below or above the blue indicator.</p>\n\n\n    \n\n\n<p>In my limited testing, I found drag and drop to be hit or miss. Sometimes, when I try to drag and drop a block, the blue line doesn&#8217;t show up.</p>\n\n<p>The hand icon for the cursor is different for the top and bottom of the block. You can drag a block by hovering over the bottom of it but you can&#8217;t do it from the top.</p>\n\n<img />\n    Hovering the cursor at the top of the block\n\n\n<img />\n    Hovering the cursor at the bottom of the block\n\n\n<p>I also found it difficult to add a new block manually. For example, when I add a paragraph block, I don&#8217;t see the Plus icon to create a new block underneath it anymore.</p>\n\n<p>Pressing enter at the end of a paragraph creates a new Paragraph block automatically. But I don&#8217;t know how to transform it into an image block.

Riad Benguella <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/5902\">figured out</a> why meta boxes were not collapsing or expanding.</p>\n\n<p>It turns out that some meta boxes depend on the post script which has a side effect of calling the window.postboxes.add_postbox_toggles( postType ) twice, causing meta boxes to break.</p>\n\n<p>Gutenberg 2.6 <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/04/05/whats-new-in-gutenberg-5th-april/\">released earlier this week</a>, fixes the issue and all meta boxes function properly again. This also fixes the issue I had with the Telegram for WordPress plugin. <br /></p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/public-post-preview/\">Public Post Preview</a> still doesn&#8217;t work in Gutenberg but the plugin&#8217;s developer, Dominik Schilling, shared some experiments he has conducted with adding support for Gutenberg on Twitter.</p>\n\n\n    <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Can\'t wait for seeing Gutenberg in WordPress core. So many new possibilities. Even for Public Post Preview (<a href=\"https://t.co/Xsw9hugxKT\">https://t.co/Xsw9hugxKT</a>). With just a few lines I was able to create this: <a href=\"https://t.co/fxyuBIMPOl\">pic.twitter.com/fxyuBIMPOl</a></p>&mdash; Dominik Schilling <img src=\"https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/2.4/72x72/1f30a.png\" alt=\"?\" class=\"wp-smiley\" /> (@ocean90) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/ocean90/status/980420608822562816?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 1, 2018</a></blockquote>\n\n\n<p>In the preview video, you can see Public Post Preview&#8217;s options added to the sidebar and in addition to generating a link, you can choose when that URL expires which is better than what&#8217;s currently available in the plugin.</p>\n\n<p>I mentioned how Tags would sometimes disappear and there overall behavior was inconsistent. This <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/5913\">pull request </a>that made it into Gutenberg 2.6, fixes the issue by only including the term in the Tag selector if it&#8217;s known.</p>\n\n<p>Although I&#8217;m still bummed that certain plugins are not yet compatible with Gutenberg, I&#8217;m pretty happy that two of the major pain points I experienced have been fixed. Thanks to Riad, Tammie Lister, and others for helping to solve these problems so quickly. </p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 06 Apr 2018 21:29:35 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:25;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:61:\"WPTavern: A WordCamp for Organizers Is in the Planning Stages\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=79513\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:72:\"https://wptavern.com/a-wordcamp-for-organizers-is-in-the-planning-stages\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2684:\"<p>Last year, Drew Jaynes and Carol Stambaugh <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/2017/08/16/proposed-event-wordcamp-for-wordcamp-organizers/\">proposed</a> a new WordCamp event geared towards organizers to the WordPress Community Team. After fleshing out the details and discussing the idea over the course of seven months, the duo <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/2018/04/03/want-to-help-organize-a-wordcamp-for-organizers/\">has announced</a> that a WordCamp for Organizers is officially on the table.</p>\n\n<p>The goal of the event is to provide an opportunity for meetup and WordPress event organizers to share their experience with others in the community. The plan is to host a one-day event a day or two before <a href=\"https://2018.us.wordcamp.org/\">WordCamp US</a> in Nashville, TN, later this year.</p>\n\n<p>&#8220;The idea for WordCamp for Organizers – what some of us affectionately refer to as &#8216;dotOrganize&#8217; – was really borne out of many conversations I’ve had over the years with others in the WordPress community lamenting the lack of a ready knowledge sharing opportunity between event organizers,&#8221; Jaynes said.</p>\n\n<p>&#8220;One common thread seemed to be the idea of common lessons learned, and how awesome it would be to just have an event for organizers to get together and swap tips and tricks. </p>\n\n<p>&#8220;We’re all here organizing the same community, maybe we should get together and trade notes! And so we now have a new topic-based WordCamp just for organizers. </p>\n\n<p>&#8220;It’s kind of meta – organizing a WordCamp for Organizers, but I really feel like this could be a boon for anybody currently organizing or looking to start organizing in WordPress. Exciting!&#8221;</p>\n\n<p>Some of the session topics that could be presented on include:</p>\n\n<ul>\n    <li>Spreading the word about your community events</li>\n    <li>Tips for wrangling speakers, volunteers, and sponsors</li>\n    <li>Conflict resolution among organizing teams</li>\n    <li>How to respond to a code of conduct issue</li>\n    <li>Finding and using official organizing tools and resources<br /></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>The team is seeking volunteers who can spend 2-4 hours per week to help organize the event. Although it&#8217;s focused on organizers, those who have attended many conferences, including WordCamps, with little event organizing experience, are encouraged to join the team.</p>\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in volunteering, please leave a comment on the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/2018/04/03/want-to-help-organize-a-wordcamp-for-organizers/\">official announcement post</a>. </p>\n\n<p><br /></p><br /></p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 06 Apr 2018 00:22:47 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:26;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:57:\"WPTavern: Jetpack 6.0 Takes Steps Towards GDPR Compliance\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=79459\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:68:\"https://wptavern.com/jetpack-6-0-takes-steps-towards-gdpr-compliance\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1148:\"<p>Jetpack 6.0 <a href=\"https://jetpack.com/2018/04/03/jetpack-6-0/\">is available</a> for upgrade.

Ironically, at 43 years old I was more fit and healthy than I had ever been in my entire life. I had been running road marathons and trail ultra marathons for a few years leading up to my diagnosis. Good thing too, because surgery and treatment were obviously very tough.</p>\n<p>I was transitioning my design studio from analog to digital. Previously, I was working as a professional artist and illustrator creating commission portraiture and college mascot illustrations with some moderate successes. My background is in Fine Art and Design. I studied Drawing, Sculpture, &amp; Time Arts. (2D, 3D &amp; 4D &#8211; 4D can be described as: Length, width, height, and time/ motion) Naturally, as a Time Arts artist/illustrator I love the web! I love designing for the web and mobile too. Web work is immediately gratifying. I do design for both the web and print but I have always felt drawn to the web as it is more accessible, more fluid, dynamic, interconnected, animated, media rich, and well … if you are reading this then you already get the picture. <img src=\"https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/2.4/72x72/1f642.png\" alt=\"?\" class=\"wp-smiley\" /></p>\n<blockquote><p>To get through treatment it was important to me that I still work every day.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Some days it was just a couple hours in the afternoon but it really helped me to cope and endure unplanned surgery and many painful chemotherapy treatments. I had recently completed a couple of websites with the help of my mentor Jerry Turk. Those sites had good reach. I mean they were the kind of sites that groups of people used and managed so I got some attention for the work and word of mouth spread locally.</p>\n<p>It was while getting through that period of treatment and the shock of a devastating diagnosis that my digital design agency really got legs. It could not have happened at a better time. So, my studio, C&amp;D Studios &#8211; <a href=\"https://CandDStudios.com\">https://CandDStudios.com</a> continued it’s move towards being 100% digital. No more analog photography and not much more drawing at the drawing table either. Now my work was nearly 100% focused on screens and it would also begin to pay the bills. That was eight years ago. I was very fortunate to learn using reliable frameworks, themes, plug-ins, and hosts that would also stand the test of time. Thank you Genesis Framework, StudioPress and Gravity Forms to name a few…</p>\n<p>Fast forward to 2016 after having been cancer free all those years and cranking out a lot of agency work, I had a cancer reoccurrence. I never wanted cancer to be part of my story and I tried to deny or overcome it in all ways but it had resurfaced in October of 2016. Professionally, I was involved in collaborating on very large scale enterprise sites with teams. I was spending the year testing the waters at a new level of production. It was not good timing to require another surgery and 18 more rounds of chemotherapy. Fortunately, I found support in the community from other designers and developers whom helped me to the finish lines with 3 large projects in areas of e-commerce, college membership and enterprise site work -one with a large volume of SVG animations. After surgery, in February of 2017 I completed 18 rounds of chemotherapy treatments.</p>\n<blockquote><p>I have survived and am cancer free once again!</p></blockquote>\n<p>While going through treatment the second time I was not really focused on what good thing will I be able to grow towards professionally. Honestly, when you go through these things in life &#8211; you just spend your energy getting through as best as you can. I think it is worth noting here that while a positive attitude is great and it can improve a patient’s overall experience. Please don’t tell people they will survive cancer because of their positive attitude. Cancer is horrible, it does not discriminate and when people can’t beat a disease with their mental attitude they end up blaming themselves unnecessarily. That is not good. That is not what people intend when then try to offer support in that way but that is something I wanted to share.</p>\n<p>Now I have landed on the other side of treatment again and as I reflect, it’s been a really epic year! Our WordPress community has been open and supportive, welcoming me at conferences, online, and in slack groups, whether I had hair, energy, or resources &#8211; always welcoming and always encouraging. Over the years I have made some wonderful friends through WordPress! Some of us have been at this for a long time and we now have many shared experiences and skills.</p>\n<h3>Having Survived Again I’m Launching a WordPress Product</h3>\n<p>Having survived again, and having been inspired at PressNomics in Tempe last spring, I’m busy launching a mobile product/service with my team Dr. Kendra Remington and Rita Best called <a href=\"https://docswithapps.com\">Docs With Apps</a>.</p>\n<p>I still accept some client work, and some retainer work but I’m pretty selective about the projects we work on “in house.”</p>\n<p>I love SVG animation work so in 2018 I’m overjoyed to be doing more contracted SVG animation work with my collaborator Jackie D’Elia. Hit us up!!</p>\n<p>These are some very wonderful times in technology and within the Internet of things. I feel very grateful to have been able to ride the digital wave into the present and future. At WCUS in Nashville I began the process of contributing to make WordPress after having spent many years empowering others with it.</p>\n<p>When I was young I needed a way to get my portfolio on line and that is how I got started. Thank you for the opportunity to share my story, to publicly thank my husband Dominic, my family, and friends too. The future is going to be awesome!</p>\n<p>Take care of yourself and of each other, it&#8217;s very important.</p>\n<div class=\"rtsocial-container rtsocial-container-align-right rtsocial-horizontal\"><div class=\"rtsocial-twitter-horizontal\"><div class=\"rtsocial-twitter-horizontal-button\"><a title=\"Tweet: The Year I Got Cancer Was The Year My WordPress Business Took Off\" class=\"rtsocial-twitter-button\" href=\"https://twitter.com/share?text=The%20Year%20I%20Got%20Cancer%20Was%20The%20Year%20My%20WordPress%20Business%20Took%20Off&via=heropress&url=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fthe-year-i-got-cancer-was-the-year-my-wordpress-business-took-off%2F\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"></a></div></div><div class=\"rtsocial-fb-horizontal fb-light\"><div class=\"rtsocial-fb-horizontal-button\"><a title=\"Like: The Year I Got Cancer Was The Year My WordPress Business Took Off\" class=\"rtsocial-fb-button rtsocial-fb-like-light\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fthe-year-i-got-cancer-was-the-year-my-wordpress-business-took-off%2F\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"></a></div></div><div class=\"rtsocial-linkedin-horizontal\"><div class=\"rtsocial-linkedin-horizontal-button\"><a class=\"rtsocial-linkedin-button\" href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fthe-year-i-got-cancer-was-the-year-my-wordpress-business-took-off%2F&title=The+Year+I+Got+Cancer+Was+The+Year+My+WordPress+Business+Took+Off\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share: The Year I Got Cancer Was The Year My WordPress Business Took Off\"></a></div></div><div class=\"rtsocial-pinterest-horizontal\"><div class=\"rtsocial-pinterest-horizontal-button\"><a class=\"rtsocial-pinterest-button\" href=\"https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://heropress.com/essays/the-year-i-got-cancer-was-the-year-my-wordpress-business-took-off/&media=https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/040418-150x150.jpg&description=The Year I Got Cancer Was The Year My WordPress Business Took Off\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pin: The Year I Got Cancer Was The Year My WordPress Business Took Off\"></a></div></div><a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"perma-link\" href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/the-year-i-got-cancer-was-the-year-my-wordpress-business-took-off/\" title=\"The Year I Got Cancer Was The Year My WordPress Business Took Off\"></a></div><p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/the-year-i-got-cancer-was-the-year-my-wordpress-business-took-off/\">The Year I Got Cancer Was The Year My WordPress Business Took Off</a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://heropress.com\">HeroPress</a>.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 04 Apr 2018 12:00:48 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:11:\"Cathi Bosco\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:29;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:42:\"WPTavern: WordPress 4.9.5 Squashes 25 Bugs\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=79399\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:53:\"https://wptavern.com/wordpress-4-9-5-squashes-25-bugs\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:940:\"<p>WordPress 4.9.5 <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2018/04/wordpress-4-9-5-security-and-maintenance-release/\">is available</a> for download and is a maintenance and security release.

Jadon N who works for InMotion hosting and is a contributor to the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/chat/\">#hosting-community slack channel</a>, says the hosting-community group is working on ideas to help test popular plugins for Gutenberg compatibility.</p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n    <p>We have been working to expand our collection of data about how well plugins function with Gutenberg. To help with that effort, we would like to explore using feedback collected from WordPress users through the Try Gutenberg effort to add to the existing database on WordPress plugin compatibility if that could be worked out. </p>\n    <p>The goal of this project is to make sure everyone can use Gutenberg without having to worry about plugin incompatibilities.</p><cite>Jadon N</cite></blockquote>\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https://plugincompat.danielbachhuber.com/\">Gutenberg Plugin Compatibility Database project</a> launched by Daniel Bachhuber last month attempts to determine which popular plugins are already compatible with Gutenberg by having volunteers test them in a sandboxed environment.</p>\n\n<p>Out of the 4,213 plugins in the database, 84% have an unknown compatibility status. Out of 610 plugins that have been tested, 82% don&#x27;t include editor functionality.</p>\n\n<p>Pendergast <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/41316#comment:92\">supports the idea</a> of hosts collecting a wide range of testing data and turning it into actionable items for the team to work on. There&#x27;s also been some discussion on creating snapshots of plugin compatibility and filtering those results into Bachhuber&#x27;s project.</p>\n\n<p>Chris Lema, Vice President of Products at LiquidWeb, <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/41316#comment:98\">responded</a> in the trac ticket with a suggestion that the team place as much emphasis on the Learn More and Report Issues sections as the Try Gutenberg message. He also added a prototype screenshot of what the call-out could look like. <br /></p>\n\n<img />\n    Gutenberg Call Out Prototype by Chris Lema\n\n\n<p>\"The reality is that people don&#x27;t read a lot, so people may not fully grasp the &#x27;testing&#x27; part given the proposed design,\" Lema said. \"When there are equal weight to the design, the message also carries with it the same equality.\"</p>\n\n<p>One of the best suggestions I&#x27;ve read comes <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/41316#comment:98\">from Bachhuber</a>. He suggests displaying the prompt to a small percentage of WordPress sites to prevent thousands of users from re-reporting known issues with Gutenberg.

Read on to find out more about what happened during the month of March.\n\n</p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" />\n\n<h2>WordPress Now Powers 30% of the Internet</h2>\n\n<p>Over the last 15 years, the popularity and usage of WordPress has been steadily growing. That growth hit a significant milestone this month when <a href=\"https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/cm-wordpress/all/all\">W3Techs reported that WordPress now powers over 30% of sites on the web.</a></p>\n\n<p>The percentage is determined based on W3Techs’ review of the top 10 million sites on the web, and it’s a strong indicator of the popularity and flexibility of WordPress as a platform.</p>\n\n<p>If you would like to have hand in helping to grow WordPress even further, <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/\">you can get involved today</a>.</p>\n\n<h2>WordPress Jargon Glossary Goes Live</h2>\n\n<p>The WordPress Marketing Team has been hard at work lately putting together <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/marketing/2018/02/28/wordpress-jargon-glossary/\">a comprehensive glossary of WordPress jargon</a> to help newcomers to the project become more easily acquainted with things.</p>\n\n<p>The glossary <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/marketing/2018/02/28/wordpress-jargon-glossary/\">is available here</a> along with a downloadable PDF to make it simpler to reference offline.</p>\n\n<p>Publishing this resource is part of an overall effort to make WordPress more easily accessible for people who are not so familiar with the project.

It has reinforced the commitment of the GDPR Compliance Team to continue working on enhancements to WordPress core that allow site owners to improve privacy standards.</p>\n\n<p>The team&#x27;s work, and the wider privacy project, spans four areas: Adding tools which will allow site administrators to collect the information they need about their sites, examining the plugin guidelines with privacy in mind, enhancing privacy standards in WordPress core, and creating documentation focused on best practices in online privacy.</p>\n\n<p>To get involved with the project, you can <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/03/28/roadmap-tools-for-gdpr-compliance/\">view the roadmap</a>, <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/gdpr-compliance/\">follow the updates</a>, <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=!closed&keywords=~gdpr\">submit patches</a>, and join the #gdpr-compliance channel in the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/chat\">Making WordPress Slack group</a>.

In Gutenberg, that option doesn&#x27;t exist. According to a <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatibility-with-gutenberg/\">recent support forum post</a>, the author does not plan on making it Gutenberg compatible until there is a finalized API to extend the sidebar.</p>\n\n<h2>Telegram for WordPress</h2>\n\n<p>We use the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/telegram-for-wp/\">Telegram for WordPress</a> plugin to automatically send published posts to our Telegram channel. The plugin adds a meta box that has options to send the post, configure the message structure, send a file, and display the featured image.</p>\n\n<p>In Gutenberg, the meta box is open by default which provides access to those options. However, when I edit a published post, there are times when the meta box is closed and clicking the arrow to expand it doesn&#x27;t work. <em>Since the Send this post to channel</em> option is on by default, ﻿saving changes to the post will resend the post to Telegram subscribers. Something I don&#x27;t want to happen for simple edits. <br /></p>\n\n<h2>Edit Flow</h2>\n\n<p>We use <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/edit-flow/\">Edit Flow</a> to collaborate on posts and often use the Editorial Comments feature to provide feedback. In Gutenberg, the meta boxes for Editorial Comments and Notifications do not open when clicking the arrow. Therefor, we can&#x27;t use those features. <br /></p>\n\n<img />\n    <br /><br />Edit Flow Meta Boxes are Broken\n\n\n<h2>After the Deadline</h2>\n\n<p>I&#x27;m a fan of <a href=\"https://jetpack.com/support/spelling-and-grammar/\">After the Deadline</a> which is a proofreading module in Jetpack. It checks posts for spelling, grammar, and misused words. When activated, a button is added to the visual editor to perform the checks. This button is not available in Gutenberg, so those features are not available as well.</p>\n\n<h2>Adding Images to Paragraphs is a Pain</h2>\n\n<p>Adding images to paragraphs in Gutenberg is more cumbersome than it needs to be. In the current editor, all I have to do is place the cursor where I want to insert an image, add media, choose image size, align it, and I&#x27;m done.</p>\n\n<p>In Gutenberg, you need to create an image block below the paragraph block, move the image block to the paragraph block, align it, and use handlebars on the corner of the image to resize it. </p>\n\n<p>I realize that there are a few workflows that I&#x27;m going to have to change because of how Gutenberg works, but this workflow doesn&#x27;t make any sense to me, especially when I can&#x27;t insert images without creating a new block. Thankfully, the Gutenberg team is on top of it and is <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/5794\">working on a solution</a> to add images within a paragraph block.</p>\n\n<h2>Random Blank Paragraph Blocks</h2>\n\n<p>I recently copied a large amount of text from a Google Doc and pasted it into Gutenberg and was surprised by how well it worked. Blocks were created in the right spots and I didn&#x27;t have to edit it much.</p>\n\n<p>I opened the post in the classic editor so that I could use the proofreading feature and it mangled the post. I opened the post in Gutenberg again and noticed a bunch of empty paragraph blocks created in-between paragraph blocks.</p>\n\n<p>This resulted in having to spend some time deleting the empty paragraph blocks and questioning whether I should avoid transferring posts between editors in the future.</p>\n\n<h2>Tags Sometimes Appear Blank in the Meta Box</h2>\n\n<p>When adding tags to posts, sometimes the tags appear blank although they show up on the front-end. Also, deleting tags sometimes doesn&#x27;t work. I click on the X and nothing happens in the back-end, but the tag will be removed from the front-end. <br /></p>\n\n<img />\n    Blank Tags in Gutenberg\n\n\n<h2>Gutenberg Has a Lot of Rough Edges</h2>\n\n<p>If this version of Gutenberg were merged into WordPress today, it would be a disaster. It&#x27;s clear that the project has a long way to go before being considered for merge into core. Most of the issues I&#x27;ve outlined in this post are known and are being addressed. <br /></p>\n\n<p>Gutenberg is supposed to make everything we do in the current editor easier and more efficient. If it doesn&#x27;t, then I have to ask, what&#x27;s the point?</p>\n\n<p>What concerns me the most about Gutenberg is plugin support. Some of the plugins I mentioned above are active on 10K sites or less but are important to the way I craft and publish content in WordPress. <br /></p>\n\n<p> Without them, using Gutenberg is not a great experience and instead, makes me want to use the current editor where things simply work. <br /></p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 29 Mar 2018 20:28:50 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:37;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:11:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:1:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:44:\"HeroPress: Giving Back In Your Own Community\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"https://heropress.com/?p=2490\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:133:\"https://heropress.com/giving-back-in-your-own-community/#utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=giving-back-in-your-own-community\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3298:\"<img width=\"960\" height=\"480\" src=\"https://s20094.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/GoodtimeToBe-HeroPress-1024x512.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"Pull quote: It is a good time to be part of the global WordPress community: the costs are low, the developer community is strong, and job availability is at an all time high.\" /><p>I was delighted to find several years ago that there&#8217;s a thriving WordPress community in Nepal.

While a date was not given, Mullenweg said, \"For those who want a concrete date, we will have one or two orders of magnitude more users of Gutenberg in April.\"</p>\n\n<p>It&#x27;s now clear what he meant by that. WordPress 4.9.5, scheduled for release in April, will <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/41316\">feature a call-out prompt</a> that has links to information about Gutenberg and a button to quickly install the plugin if user permissions allow. <br /></p>\n\n<img />\n    Gutenberg Call-out in WordPress 4.9.5\n\n\n<p>The core team added a Try Gutenberg prompt in October of last year but <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wordpress-4-9-beta-4-removes-try-gutenberg-call-to-action\">it was removed</a> in WordPress 4.9 Beta 4. After discussing the subject with Mullenweg, it was determined that Gutenberg was not ready for large-scale testing.</p>\n\n<p>The prompt in WordPress 4.9.5 changes the button text based on the following scenarios.<br /></p>\n\n<ul>\n    <li>If Gutenberg is not installed, <em>and</em> the user can install plugins, the Install Today button is displayed.<br /></li>\n    <li>If Gutenberg is installed but not activated, <em>and</em> the user can install plugins, the Activate Today button is displayed.<br /></li>\n    <li>If Gutenberg is installed and activated, <em>and</em> the user can edit posts, the Try Today button is displayed.<br /></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>If Gutenberg is not installed and the user can not install plugins, the button is hidden from view. If you&#x27;d like to hide the prompt from users, David Decker has <a href=\"https://github.com/deckerweb/remove-gutenberg-panel\">created a plugin</a> that&#x27;s available on GitHub that simply hides it from view.</p>\n\n<p>One of the concerns about the prompt is the lack of warning of the risks involved using beta software on a live site. Gutenberg is beta software that&#x27;s still in development that could <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/41316#comment:75\">adversely affect sites</a>. There is no warning on the call-out box and in two clicks, users can install and activate Gutenberg. <br /></p>\n\n<p>Whether it&#x27;s Gutenberg or some other beta software, this general advice applies. Create a full backup of your site before installing and if possible, install it on a staging site first.</p>\n\n<p>I predict that the volunteers who manage the WordPress.org support forums will have their hands full once WordPress 4.9.5 is released. The support team <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/support/2018/03/agenda-for-march-22nd-support-meeting/\">is preparing</a> by brainstorming user outcomes, common questions that may be asked, and potential pitfalls users experience after installing Gutenberg. <br /></p>\n\n<p>If you&#x27;d like to give them a helping hand, check out the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/\">Support Handbook</a> and if you have any questions, stop by the <a href=\"https://wordpress.slack.com/?redir=%2Fmessages%2Fforums%2F\">#forums</a> channel in <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/chat/\">Slack</a>.</p>\n\n<p>The Gutenberg call-out has the potential to pave the way for large audiences to test major features in core without needing to use or install a beta branch of WordPress. However, this convenience comes with risks and while they can be reduced, WordPress needs to be up front and center to users about those risks.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 27 Mar 2018 22:55:26 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:39;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:36:\"WPTavern: Why Gutenberg and Why Now?\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=78707\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:46:\"https://wptavern.com/why-gutenberg-and-why-now\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:17921:\"<img />\n\n<p>Tevya Washburn has been building websites for more than 20 years and building them on WordPress for 10. He bootstrapped his website maintenance and support company, <a href=\"http://wordx.press\">WordXpress</a>, that he’s worked on full-time for more than seven years.</p>\n\n<p>Late last year he launched his first premium plugin, and presented at WordCamp Salt Lake City. He lives in Caldwell, ID and is the founding member of the WordPress Meetup group in Western Idaho. <br /></p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<p>It was only a few months ago that I knew almost nothing about WordPress’ new Gutenberg editor. I had a basic concept of what it was and this vague annoyance that it would mean I’d have to learn new things and probably put a lot of effort into making some sites or projects work with it.</p>\n\n<p>I kept hearing all of the frustration and issues with Gutenberg itself and the lack of information on how to integrate with it. At <a href=\"https://wordx.press\">WordX</a>p<a href=\"https://wordx.press\">ress</a> we recently pivoted away from designing websites. When we designed them in the past, we used premium themes. I figured Gutenberg was the theme developer’s problem.<br /></p>\n\n<p>I still had this feeling of dread though, knowing many of my favorite plugins might not add support for it. I also felt some apprehension that even if the themes we use did add support for it, they might have a lot of new bugs through the first few releases.</p>\n\n<p>Then I launched my first WordPress plugin, <a href=\"https://starfishwp.com\">Starfish Reviews</a>, and suddenly they weren’t someone else’s problems anymore! Now I’d have to come up with a plan to integrate our plugin with Gutenberg. I installed the Gutenberg plugin on a test site where we were testing our plugin with the nightly releases of WordPress and started playing around with it.</p>\n\n<p>I was pleasantly surprised at how intuitive and easy it was to use! Now it wasn’t (and isn’t) finished, so there were bugs and annoyances, but overall I was impressed.</p>\n\n<p>Around the same time, I suggested we should have someone present on Gutenberg at our local meetup. My brief experience was more than what anyone else had, so the responsibility fell on me. Preparing for the presentation forced me to look at Gutenberg more carefully and pay more attention to the information and debate going on throughout the community.</p>\n\n<p>I started reading blog posts, paying more attention in podcasts, and even looking at what was being said on Twitter. I watched the State of the Word at WordCamp US where the general tide in the feelings toward Gutenberg, seemed to turn, though many people still remain skeptical, critical, or antagonistic toward the project as a whole.</p>\n\n<p>Today, I saw someone suggesting legal action if Gutenberg caused problems on their sites. That’s ridiculous on several levels, but shows that there’s still a lot of suspicion, frustration, and outright anger around Gutenberg.</p>\n\n<p><em>A couple notes: 1. the graphs below are for illustration purposes only, they’re not meant to be accurate to any actual data. 2. If you prefer listening, you can </em><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4ZqrVJ465E\"><em>watch my screencast version</em></a><em> (13:12) of what follows. The message is the same, but differs in many aspects of presentation.</em></p>\n\n<h2><strong>Finding the Why</strong></h2>\n\n<p>Simon Sinek is known for <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4ZoJKF_VuA\">his Ted talk</a> where he explains that most people explain a new product or service by talking about ‘what’ it is and ‘how’ it works, but they rarely explain the ‘why’ behind it. The ‘why’ actually resonates with people the most. They want to understand the reason and beliefs behind it.</p>\n\n<p>In my research, I couldn’t seem to find a clear answer to the most important question: “Why Gutenberg?” If I was going to present to people who knew little or nothing about it, I wanted to provide a reason why this major change was coming that might cause significant frustration, work, and pain for them.</p>\n\n<img />\n\n<p>I found a lot of ‘what’ and ‘how’ about Gutenberg. In some posts by <a href=\"https://ma.tt/2017/08/we-called-it-gutenberg-for-a-reason/\">Matt Mullenweg</a> and <a href=\"https://matiasventura.com/post/gutenberg-or-the-ship-of-theseus/\">Matías Ventura</a>, I found hints about ‘why’ Gutenberg existed, but no really clear, simple explanation of why this whole project was happening. Why would Matt and others want to seemingly force this major change on us all? Why does it have to be such a radical departure from the past? Why now?</p>\n\n<p>I was certain the conspiracy theorists—who seem to believe that Automattic’s sole mission is to make their lives more miserable—were wrong. But what was the purpose? Could it really just be a <strong>me too</strong> attitude that left all of these brilliant minds feeling like they had to keep up with Squarespace and Medium? That didn’t seem to fit. Especially since Gutenberg is already leagues better than Squarespace’s convoluted visual editor.</p>\n\n<h2><strong>Innovative Disruption</strong></h2>\n\n<img />\n    The Innovator&#x27;s Dilemma Book Cover\n\n\n<p>Taking cues from those hints and suggestions, I started thinking about the innovative disruption model. It was popularized in business circles, starting in 1997 when the book “<a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Innovator%27s_Dilemma\">The Innovator’s Dilemma</a>” was published by Clayton Christensen, a Harvard professor. His book was an expansion of an <a href=\"https://hbr.org/1995/01/disruptive-technologies-catching-the-wave\">earlier article</a> in the Harvard Business Review.</p>\n\n<p>At the risk of oversimplifying the model, innovative disruption is what happens when an existing company who is the top dog (either in sales or market share) gets comfortable with their position at the top along with their revenue stream and quits innovating. They make small, incremental updates to their products or services to keep customers happy, but fail to look at the future of their industry.</p>\n\n<p>This makes it easier for a startup or smaller, more innovative company to bring a new product or service to market that completely disrupts the existing market because it’s better, faster, cheaper. The established company doesn’t see the disruption coming because they feel secure in their large market share and steady sales revenue. They often respond with “why would anyone want that?” when approached with the new model that is about to completely upset their business model.</p>\n\n<h2><strong>Blockbuster Gets Busted</strong></h2>\n\n<p>The classic example of this is Blockbuster Entertainment, Inc. They had over 9,000 stores at one time, allowing people to rent VHS tapes and later, DVDs. They had a huge portion of the market all to themselves and it seemed nobody could compete with this juggernaut.</p>\n\n<p>Then along came two small startups: Netflix and Redbox. Netflix comes along and says “we’re going to stream movies over the internet. That’s the future and the way everyone will want to consume movies and TV in the future. But since the internet is too slow right now, we’ll just start by mailing DVDs to people.”</p>\n\n<p>Blockbuster looked at this and said, “the internet is <em>way</em> too slow to stream movies. That’s ridiculous! Who wants to wait two weeks to get a movie in the mail?! Hahaha! Stupid startup, they’re wasting their money and energy.” In hindsight this seems ridiculous. At the time, most people would have agreed with Blockbuster.</p>\n\n<p>As you know, people started changing the way they rented movies. Once they tried it, they were happy to pay a subscription and use a queue to get DVDs delivered in the mail. Ultimately, making the decision of what to watch ahead of time was better than wandering through a cathedral of DVDs only to find the one you wanted to watch has already been checked out.</p>\n\n<p>Consumer internet bandwidth speeds quickly caught up. Netflix even invented some of the technologies that provide high quality streaming video to your home. Now, most of us can’t imagine having to go to the store to rent a physical copy of a movie. And those that can, get them from a Redbox kiosk that has a limited selection, but is much quicker and easier than a video store. Netflix now has a larger market share than Blockbuster ever did, with <em>zero</em> physical locations.</p>\n\n<img />\n\n<p>There are exactly nine Blockbuster stores still operating, mostly in Alaska. From 9,000 down to nine in only a few years! This is what failing to innovate does. This is how comfort and confidence in market share and sales blinds people and organizations to the coming innovations that will disrupt their market.</p>\n\n<h2><strong>Literacy, Disruption, and Gutenberg</strong></h2>\n\n<p>Disruptive innovation doesn’t apply just in business. I have a Bachelor’s degree in history. So one example I love to use is how literacy and education ultimately toppled monarchies and traditional power structures in favor of republics and representative democracy.</p>\n\n<p>The choice of Gutenberg as the name of the new WordPress editor seems prescient in this example as well. The name was one of the clues that led me to answer the ‘why?’ question. It was Johannes Gutenberg and his movable type printing press that was the innovative disruption that changed everything!</p>\n\n<p>Before that, the vast majority of people in Europe were illiterate and uneducated. The scarcity of books and written material made it impractical and prohibitively expensive for most people to learn to read. It also allowed the Church and aristocracy to control the opportunity to become literate. That meant the rich and powerful were the gatekeepers of knowledge. Most riots and uprisings to this point were about hunger.</p>\n\n<p>The Gutenberg press changed all that. Suddenly books could be mass-produced faster, cheaper, better than they ever could before. Literacy caught on like a wildfire. The power structures thought they could control it and maintain the status quo. They outlawed printing without state approval and did many other things to limit the spread of ideas through printed materials.</p>\n\n<p>But it was too late, the power to spread ideas that the printing press provided was much too viral. Many printing presses were operated illegally, then destroyed when they were discovered by authorities.</p>\n\n<img />\n\n<p>The tipping point had been reached though. The ability to read and spread ideas via printed documents was much more powerful than the money, soldiers, and weapons of the monarchy. Though hunger might have sparked riots and uprisings from this time on, those tiny flames were fanned into an inferno of revolution by ideas spread through printed words. <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Paine\">Thomas Paine</a>’s Common Sense is a great example if you want to learn more about concrete examples.</p>\n\n<h2><strong>The Pain of Disrupting Yourself</strong></h2>\n\n<p>I don’t have a business degree, but from my understanding, <em>The Innovator’s Dilemma</em> can be simplified down to this: to survive, and stay on top, a company (or software, or community) must innovate. It <em>can not</em> be incremental innovation. It <em>must</em> be innovation that disrupts the company’s core product or business model, even to the point of entirely replacing it.</p>\n\n<p>Blockbuster tried some Redbox-like and Netflix-like solutions, but they were too little, too late. The only way they could have survived would have been to disrupt their own business model and service. They would have had to say, “in five years we will close all 9k stores and completely shift our business to providing video online.”</p>\n\n<p>Who does that? Who thinks “we have built an empire, but we have to completely change it and replace it all over again”? That’s “The Innovator’s Dilemma” that the book’s title refers to: it’s incredibly difficult to think in those terms when you’re on the top. It’s nearly impossible to say, “we have to disrupt ourselves. We must compete with our own business and products and services.” But ultimately it’s the only way to survive.</p>\n\n<p>…Or you can buy an innovative company and let them disrupt your main business. Did you know Blockbuster had the <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/blockbuster-ceo-passed-up-chance-to-buy-netflix-for-50-million-2015-7\">chance to buy Netflix</a> for $50 million in 2000? It was pocket change, but they passed because it was a very small, niche business.</p>\n\n<p>Had they bought Netflix and allowed it to continue innovating and disrupting their core retail rental model, Blockbuster might still be around. It wouldn’t have 9k retail stores, but it would have an even larger market share than it ever did renting DVDs.</p>\n\n<img />\n\n<p>In either case, the process is painful. That’s why it’s called disruptive. Not because it’s a walk on the beach or small speed bump, but because it takes a lot of work and forward-thinking and causes a lot of pain to create and implement.</p>\n\n<p>If you are the market leader, you can’t rest on your previous success. You have to change everything once again, like you did to get to where you are now. Despite the pain of doing it, you have to invest yourself and your resources into hard work and difficult questions and challenging thinking that goes directly counter to our natural tendency as humans. If you want to stay on top, it’s the only way.</p>\n\n<h2><strong>WordPress is Ripe for Disruption</strong></h2>\n\n<p>WordPress has a 30% market share right now. It won’t be long before 1 out of every 3 websites is built on WordPress. No other platform is even close.</p>\n\n<p>As WordPress professionals and community members, it seems like we have all the momentum and benefits of being the leader. “Surely nothing could displace WordPress!” That’s what Blockbuster said. That’s what monarchs of past ages said. The truth is simple: “yes, something could. In fact, something will, if WordPress doesn’t innovatively disrupt itself.”</p>\n\n<img />\n\n<p>Is it going to be painful? Yes. Is it going to cause a lot of work and effort on the part of the community? Yes! Absolutely. But the alternative is to learn a totally new platform in five years when WordPress dies like Blockbuster did. You think this change is going to be difficult? Try throwing out WordPress entirely and moving your website(s) to an entirely new platform. Because that’s the alternative.</p>\n\n<h2><strong>Good Arguments Against Gutenberg</strong></h2>\n\n<p>I see many people listing a string of bugs in the Gutenberg UI/UX and concluding that Gutenberg shouldn’t exist. I see others critiquing the underlying technologies and claiming that’s evidence that Gutenberg is entirely wrong.</p>\n\n<p>I’m sorry, but those arguments are entirely invalid. They may be great arguments for how Gutenberg needs to change or improve, but they are <em>not</em> valid arguments against the existence of Gutenberg and its inclusion in core.</p>\n\n<p>Hopefully, I’ve made it clear that WordPress is in dire need of innovation. If that’s true, then as I see it, there’s only one really great argument against Gutenberg. As one person in one of the meetups I presented at put it: “is it the right innovation?”</p>\n\n<p>That&#x27;s the crux of the whole thing: <strong>WordPress must innovate to survive</strong>. Matt Mullenweg and the entire Gutenberg team have looked at the past and the future and decided that a better, faster, easier user interface and experience, are the disruptive innovations that WordPress needs to survive.</p>\n\n<p>You can argue that it’s not, that there’s some other innovation that will completely change WordPress and thereby save it from disruption by outside forces. And that&#x27;s a totally valid argument to make. But in my opinion, <strong>you can’t argue that continued, incremental changes are enough.</strong> You can’t argue that the path we’ve been on the last five years is going to keep WordPress on top for the next five years. It simply won’t.</p>\n\n<h2><strong>I Like Gutenberg, but I Love What it’s Doing</strong></h2>\n\n<p>In my experience thus far, I like Gutenberg. I believe it is the right disruptive innovation WordPress needs at this time. It will make WordPress easier to use and help its underpinnings be ready for the future. Being easy to use is what got WordPress where it is today.</p>\n\n<p>It’s not very easy to use any more. There are significantly easier options out there, that could disrupt WordPress and replace it. I think Gutenberg will allow WordPress to disrupt itself and keep ahead of other disruptive innovations. It will save WordPress and allow us all to keep using it and building our businesses on it for another 10 years into the future.</p>\n\n<p>I like Gutenberg, but I really love what Gutenberg means, what it represents, and what it&#x27;s doing. Gutenberg is bigger than just a new post editor, it shows that the leaders of the WordPress community are willing to make hard decisions and innovate even when it means disrupting their own work and previous innovations.</p>\n\n<img />\n\n<p>I have huge respect for the Gutenberg team, who have not only had to rethink everything and do all those difficult things I referred to before, but have had to do it all very publicly, while navigating a gauntlet of criticism, personal attacks, and much more.</p>\n\n<p>I hope this post shows my thanks and newfound appreciation for what they’re doing and going through. Flipping the phrase from <em>The Dark Knight,</em> the members of the Gutenberg team are “the heroes the WordPress community needs right now, even if they’re not the ones we deserve.”</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, 26 Mar 2018 18:20:04 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:40;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:65:\"Post Status: The Future of Content Distribution — Draft podcast\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"https://poststatus.com/?p=44599\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:65:\"https://poststatus.com/future-content-distribution-draft-podcast/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2385:\"<p>Welcome to the Post Status <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/category/draft\">Draft podcast</a>, which you can find <a href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/post-status-draft-wordpress/id976403008\">on iTunes</a>, <a href=\"https://play.google.com/music/m/Ih5egfxskgcec4qadr3f4zfpzzm?t=Post_Status__Draft_WordPress_Podcast\">Google Play</a>, <a href=\"http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/krogsgard/post-status-draft-wordpress-podcast\">Stitcher</a>, and <a href=\"http://simplecast.fm/podcasts/1061/rss\">via RSS</a> for your favorite podcatcher.

As most of you can probably imagine, BuddyPress was a different piece of software back then, trying to solve a completely different decade&#8217;s worth of problems for a completely different version of WordPress.</p>\n<p>BuddyPress was multisite only, meaning it did not work on the regular version of WordPress that most people were accustomed to installing. It needed to completely take over the entire website experience to work, with a specific theme for the primary part of your site, and blog themes for user profiles and everything else.</p>\n<p>There was a lot to love about the original vision and version of BuddyPress. It was ambitious, but in a clever kind of way that made everyone tilt their heads, squint their eyes, and ponder what WordPress was capable of. BuddyPress knew exactly what it was trying to do, and owned it without apologies.</p>\n<p>It touted itself as a &#8220;Social Network in a box&#8221; at a time when MySpace was generating 75.9 million <em>unique</em> visitors per month, so if you couldn&#8217;t imagine how different BuddyPress may have been before, imagine how excited everyone was at the idea of owning their own MySpace.</p>\n<p>Since then, Andy invited <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/boonebgorges\">Boone</a>, <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/djpaul\">Paul</a>, and <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/johnjamesjacoby\">me</a> to help lead the project forward, and in-turn we&#8217;ve invited several other prolific BuddyPress contributors to help with every aspect of the project, website, design, and so on.</p>\n<p>The BuddyPress team has grown in a few different ways. Most recently, we&#8217;ve added <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/espellcaste\">Renato Alves</a> to the team to help with WP-CLI support. Renato is a long-time contributor who stepped up big-time to really own the WP-CLI implementation and finally see it through to the end.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/slaffik\">Slava Abakumov</a> lead the 2.8 release, and we finally met in person for the very first time just last week at WordCamp Miami. He&#8217;s another long-time contributor who has always had the best interests of the project in mind and at heart.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/offereins\">Laurens Offereins</a> has been helping fix BuddyPress bugs and work on evolving features since version 2.1, and while we haven&#8217;t met in person <em>yet</em>, I look forward to it someday!</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/netweb\">Stephen Edgar</a> (who you may recognize from bbPress) also works a bit on BuddyPress, largely around tooling &amp; meta related things, but he&#8217;s fully capable and will jump in and help anywhere he can, be it the forums or features.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/mercime\">Mercime</a> would prefer I not blather on endlessly here about how important she is, or how much I appreciate her, or anything like that, so please forget I mentioned it.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/hnla\">Hugo Ashmore</a> has spent the past 2 years completely rebuilding the default template pack. This is an absolutely huge undertaking, and everyone is really excited about sunsetting ye olde <code>bp-legacy</code>.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/karmatosed\">Tammie Lister</a> has moved on to work on the enormously important and equally ambitious <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/gutenberg/\">Gutenberg</a> project. Tammie is wonderful, and doing a great job crafting what the future of democratizing publishing is.</p>\n<p>Lastly, a few of our veteran team members took sabbaticals from contributing to BuddyPress in the past few years, which I see as an opportunity to return with fresh ideas and perspectives, or maybe moving onto new &amp; exciting challenges. This is a good, healthy thing to do, both for oneself and the project. Space makes the heart grow fonder, and all that.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>A small aside but worth saying here &amp; now, is that leading an open-source project is everything you think it is (or maybe have read already that it is) and like a million other things that are hard to understand until you understand. The one constant (and subsequently the hardest and funnest part) is how to provide opportunities for personal growth, without prohibiting contributions, while also doing what&#8217;s best for the greater vision of the project itself, amongst a completely remote group of bespoke volunteers. I think Paul, Boone, and I do OK at this, but we are always learning and adjusting, so please reach out to us if there is anything we can do differently or better.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>BuddyPress is my personal favorite piece of software. It&#8217;s my favorite community. I wake up excited every day because of what it can do and who it does it for. Put another way, I love what we make it do and who we make it for: ourselves, one another, each other, and you.</p>\n<p>Cheers to 10 years, and here&#8217;s to another 10!</p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-271562 size-full\" src=\"https://buddypress.org/wp-content/uploads/1/2018/03/Screen-Shot-2018-03-25-at-4.38.12-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"898\" height=\"452\" /></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:\"Sun, 25 Mar 2018 22:54:51 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3:\"JJJ\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:42;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:54:\"WPTavern: Noteworthy Changes Coming in WordPress 4.9.5\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=78611\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:65:\"https://wptavern.com/noteworthy-changes-coming-in-wordpress-4-9-5\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2401:\"<p>WordPress 4.9.5 Beta 1 <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/03/21/wordpress-4-9-5-beta/\">is available</a> for testing and brings with it 23 bug fixes and improvements. A release candidate is scheduled for release on March 20th and a final release on April 3rd. Here are some notable changes you can expect in the release.</p>\n\n<h3>\"Cheatin’ uh?\" Error Message is Replaced</h3>\n\n<p>The \"Cheatin’ uh?\" error message has existed in WordPress for years and for some, is insulting. The error doesn&#x27;t explain what went wrong and accuses the user of trying to cheat the system.</p>\n\n<img />\n    Cheatin&#x27; Uh Error Message<br />\n\n\n<p>Eric Meyer highlighted the error in <a href=\"https://wordpress.tv/2016/06/24/eric-a-meyer-design-for-real-life/\">his keynote</a> at WordCamp North East Ohio in 2016, when talking about Designing for Real Life. He also <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/38332#comment:11\">contributed to the ticket</a> with suggestions on how to improve the wording.</p>\n\n<p>In WordPress 4.9.5, the error <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/38332\">has been changed</a> to more meaningful messages depending on the error that occurs.</p>\n\n<h3>Recommended PHP Version Increased to 7.2</h3>\n\n<p>Inside of the readme file in WordPress, the current recommended PHP version is 7.0. This version of PHP reached end of life last December. In 4.9.5, the recommend version is PHP 7.2. This is the same version that is <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/\">recommended on WordPress.org</a>.</p>\n\n<h3>Offensive Lyrics Removed From Hello Dolly</h3>\n\n<p>As we covered <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/without-context-some-lyrics-inside-the-hello-dolly-plugin-are-degrading-to-women\">earlier this week</a>, some of the lines displayed in the dashboard from the Hello Dolly plugin are inappropriate without context. In 4.9.5, the plugin will no longer display those lines.</p>\n\n<p>There&#x27;s a possibility that in the future, there will be a musical note icon or symbol placed next to the line to indicate it&#x27;s from a song. In addition, the lyrics are more in line with Louis Armstrong&#x27;s recording.</p>\n\n<p>To see a full list of changes in WordPress 4.9.5, you can <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&milestone=4.9.5&group=component\">view a full list</a> of closed tickets on Trac. </p>\n\n<p><br /></p><br /></p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 22 Mar 2018 21:32:41 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:43;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:47:\"WPTavern: WPWeekly Episode 309 – All AMPed Up\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:58:\"https://wptavern.com?p=78601&preview=true&preview_id=78601\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:54:\"https://wptavern.com/wpweekly-episode-309-all-amped-up\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2180:\"<p>In this episode, I&#8217;m joined by <a href=\"https://medinathoughts.com/\">Alberto Medina</a>, Developer Advocate working with the Web Content Ecosystems Team at Google, and <a href=\"https://weston.ruter.net/\">Weston Ruter</a>, CTO of XWP.

Last but not least, we learn about the relationship between Automattic, XWP, and the AMP team and how it&#8217;s helping to shape the future of the project.</p>\n<h2>Notable Links Mentioned:</h2>\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/amp/\">AMP for WordPress Plugin</a><br />\n<a href=\"https://github.com/Automattic/amp-wp\">AMP for WordPress GitHub Repository</a><br />\n<a href=\"https://github.com/ampproject\">AMP GitHub Repository</a><br />\n<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGS-tKTXw4Y\">Video presentation from AMP Conf 2018 showcasing the work that&#8217;s gone into the AMP for WordPress plugin</a><br />\n<a href=\"https://www.ampproject.org/latest/blog/standardizing-lessons-learned-from-amp/\">Official blog post outlining the future of the AMP Project</a></p>\n<h2>WPWeekly Meta:</h2>\n<p><strong>Next Episode:</strong> Wednesday, March 28th 3:00 P.M.

At a time when WordPress and its community are doing what it can to be more inclusive, changing or removing the lyrics seems like an easy win. </p>\n\n<p></p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 16 Mar 2018 20:45:17 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:49;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:55:\"WPTavern: Watch WordCamp Miami 2018 Via Free Livestream\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=78359\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:66:\"https://wptavern.com/watch-wordcamp-miami-2018-via-free-livestream\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:618:\"<p>Tickets for the event may be sold out, but you can watch the event from anywhere thanks to a <a href=\"https://2018.miami.wordcamp.org/live/\">free livestream</a>.
