While you can add an FAQ section using the default content block in WordPress, those methods are not properly SEO optimized.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>FAQ plugins remove the hard work of <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/how-to-add-an-faq-section-in-wordpress-2-super-easy-ways/\" title=\"How to Add an FAQ Section in WordPress (2 Super Easy Ways)\">adding FAQ sections</a> and save you time.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"aioseo-why-are-faqs-important-for-seo\">Why Are FAQs Important for SEO?</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>FAQs are common questions that many readers have about a particular topic or service. Addressing these topics makes it easy for your users to find the answers they want. It also helps you handle common objections they may have before purchasing your product. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>FAQs are an essential addon to your site as they can help boost your SEO rankings. For one, they help you improve search intent for users and search engines. As a result, your content ranks better in search.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reason FAQS are important for SEO is that they can help you rank for the featured snippet, especially if your site outputs proper <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/how-to-add-faq-schema-in-wordpress/\" title=\"How to Add FAQ Schema in WordPress [The Easiest Way]\">FAQ schema markup</a> for that page.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, search engines are giving a lot of prominence to sites with FAQ schema, and those websites get rich snippets that increase clicks and overall organic traffic.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"702\" height=\"337\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/search-statistics-faqs.png\" alt=\"FAQs help you get rich results on search engine results pages.\" class=\"wp-image-159662\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/search-statistics-faqs.png 702w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/search-statistics-faqs-300x144.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/search-statistics-faqs-600x288.png 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/search-statistics-faqs-125x60.png 125w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/search-statistics-faqs-187x90.png 187w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know what FAQ plugins are and why you need them, let&#8217;s quickly dive into our expert picks.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"aioseo-7-best-wordpress-faq-plugins-to-know\">10 Best WordPress FAQ Plugins to Know</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing an FAQ plugin for your site can be challenging, as there are thousands of them on the market. To help make it easier for you, we&#8217;ve carefully curated a list of FAQ plugins we know are reliable and easy to use.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"aioseo-1-aioseo\">1. <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/pricing/\" title=\"Pricing\">AIOSEO</a></h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https://aioseo.com/pricing/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"311\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/aioseo.png\" alt=\"AIOSEO is one of the best WordPress FAQ plugins on the market.\" class=\"wp-image-100113\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/aioseo.png 700w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/aioseo-300x133.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/aioseo-600x267.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" /></a></figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://aioseo.com/\" title=\"AIOSEO - WordPress SEO Plugin\">All In One SEO</a> (AIOSEO) is a powerful WordPress SEO plugin and toolkit. Over 3 million websites use it to improve SEO rankings and increase site traffic. The plugin boasts many powerful features, including advanced SEO modules, a sitemap generator, a <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/docs/adding-a-table-of-contents-to-your-site-using-all-in-one-seo/\" title=\"Adding a Table of Contents to Your Site Using All in One SEO\">table of contents block</a>, <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/features/internal-link-assistant/\" title=\"Link Assistant\">Link Assistant</a>, and many more.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from those powerful SEO features, AIOSEO has a FAQ block that works seamlessly with WordPress&#8217;s Gutenberg editor and most page builders. The best part is that it also has proper schema support. This means adding FAQs using the AIOSEO FAQ block will properly output the FAQ schema in JSON format to help your site rank higher. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of this happens without any coding work required on your end, making this one of the most user-friendly WordPress FAQ plugins on the market.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can create a new FAQ page or add FAQ sections to existing blog posts or pages to outrank your competitors.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"699\" height=\"254\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/how-to-add-an-faq-section-in-wordpress-faq-block-2.png\" alt=\"Enter your questions and answers in the fields provided.\" class=\"wp-image-106787\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/how-to-add-an-faq-section-in-wordpress-faq-block-2.png 699w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/how-to-add-an-faq-section-in-wordpress-faq-block-2-300x109.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/how-to-add-an-faq-section-in-wordpress-faq-block-2-600x218.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 699px) 100vw, 699px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The AIOSEO &#8211; FAQ block also enables you to hide entire FAQ sections or individual FAQs while still outputting the FAQ schema. This functionality means you can hide the FAQs on the front end of your site but still have them appear on search engine results pages (SERPs).</p>\n\n\n\n<p>AIOSEO&#8217;s FAQ block is versatile and allows you to change the FAQ layout to suite your needs.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Features</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Customization options</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Automatically outputs JSON schema markup</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Built with SEO in mind</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Translation ready</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest advantage of using AIOSEO&#8217;s FAQ block is that once you&#8217;ve <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/docs/installing-all-in-one-seo-pro/\" title=\"Installing All in One SEO Pro\">installed AIOSEO</a>, you don&#8217;t need another plugin to be able to add FAQs to your site.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pricing</strong>: Pro versions start at $49 for an annual plan of the SEO plugin. A free version is also available.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-2-seedprod\">2.<a href=\"https://www.seedprod.com/\">&nbsp;SeedProd</a></h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://www.seedprod.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/seedprod-landing-page-builder.png\" alt=\"SeedProd best WordPress landing page plugin\" class=\"wp-image-9609\" title=\"seedprodlandingpagebuilder SeedProd\"/></figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.seedprod.com\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"SeedProd - Best Drag &amp; Drop WordPress Website Builder\" rel=\"noopener\">SeedProd</a>&nbsp;is the&nbsp;best drag-and-drop <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/best-website-builder-for-seo/\" title=\"Best Website Builder for SEO: 12+ Great Builders for 2023\">WordPress site builder</a>, and is used by over 1 million websites.

And websites are collections of code files organized into folders.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This code provides the format, style, and interactivity for the page.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example,</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>HTML provides formatting such as headings and paragraphs.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>CSS provides styling, including colors and layout.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>JavaScript provides interactive elements like pop-ups.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Browsers instantly load and interpret these code files, rendering a visible web page.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone can view the source code of a website. Marketers and web developers are among those who use “view page source.” </p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use it too for some simple SEO checks.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"aioseo-how-to-view-page-source-in-google-chrome\">How to View Page Source in Google Chrome</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll use <a href=\"https://www.google.com/chrome/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Google Chrome</a> for our example since it has the largest market share of any browser. And the keyboard shortcuts we’ll share for Chrome also work for most other browsers, including Apple Safari and Brave.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several ways to view a web page’s code in Chrome. Here are 3 listed with the quickest method first.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"aioseo-method-1-keyboard-shortcut\">Method 1: Keyboard shortcut</h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Mac: <strong>⌘</strong> + option + u</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Windows/Linux: Ctrl + U</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"aioseo-method-2-right-click-select\">Method 2: Right-Click, Select</h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Right-click</strong> on a web page.

Why? Sometimes a site owner will accidentally add a link attribute, like &#8220;sponsored” or “nofollow,” which will negate any SEO value.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>These link attributes, also called tags, <strong>can only be seen in the page&#8217;s source code</strong>.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"211\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/3-nofollow-attribute-1024x211.png\" alt=\"nofollow attribute example in view page source window\" class=\"wp-image-196094\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/3-nofollow-attribute-1024x211.png 1024w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/3-nofollow-attribute-300x62.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/3-nofollow-attribute-768x158.png 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/3-nofollow-attribute-600x124.png 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/3-nofollow-attribute-190x39.png 190w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/3-nofollow-attribute-437x90.png 437w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/3-nofollow-attribute.png 1389w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>An example of a “nofollow” attribute in a link.</em></figcaption></figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"aioseo-how-to-check-html-for-link-attributes-method-1\">How to Check HTML for Link Attributes: Method 1</h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Navigate to the page that is linked to yours.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Right-click on any area of the page.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select “View Page Source.”</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The HTML code for the page will open in a new window.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Search the anchor text and check the surrounding link for <strong>nofollow</strong>, <strong>sponsored</strong>, or <strong>UGC</strong> attributes.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an example, we’ll use a ReadWrite.com article.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scrolling to the bottom of this article, we see the guest author’s bio includes a link back to his website, Ditto Transcripts.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"408\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/4-readwrite-bio-ben-walker-1024x408.png\" alt=\"readwrite author bio\" class=\"wp-image-196096\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/4-readwrite-bio-ben-walker-1024x408.png 1024w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/4-readwrite-bio-ben-walker-300x120.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/4-readwrite-bio-ben-walker-768x306.png 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/4-readwrite-bio-ben-walker-600x239.png 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/4-readwrite-bio-ben-walker-150x60.png 150w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/4-readwrite-bio-ben-walker-226x90.png 226w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/4-readwrite-bio-ben-walker.png 1357w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Right-click anywhere on the page and select <strong>View Page Source</strong>.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>That will open the HTML code for the page in a new tab.

Higher engagement means lower bounce rates too.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Breadcrumb schema markup can help a web page appear in search results for a breadcrumb term.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Because breadcrumbs add internal links, this can help search engine crawlers understand your site structure.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"aioseo-are-breadcrumbs-a-ranking-factor\">Are Breadcrumbs a Ranking Factor?</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No, breadcrumbs aren’t a direct ranking factor: adding them won’t <em>automatically</em> cause your web pages to rank higher.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, breadcrumbs can <em>contribute</em> to higher rankings when combined with <em>quality content</em> and <em>optimized pages</em>.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>On-page optimization should include <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/how-to-add-rich-snippets-to-wordpress/\" title=\"\">adding rich snippets</a> where relevant.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"788\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/walmart-rich-snippets-examples-1024x788.jpg\" alt=\"rich snippets ecommerce example with breadcrumb seo\" class=\"wp-image-198012\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/walmart-rich-snippets-examples-1024x788.jpg 1024w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/walmart-rich-snippets-examples-300x231.jpg 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/walmart-rich-snippets-examples-768x591.jpg 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/walmart-rich-snippets-examples-1536x1182.jpg 1536w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/walmart-rich-snippets-examples-600x462.jpg 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/walmart-rich-snippets-examples-78x60.jpg 78w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/walmart-rich-snippets-examples-117x90.jpg 117w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/walmart-rich-snippets-examples.jpg 1855w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Above: These eye-catching search displays below the main Walmart link are examples of rich snippets. </em></figcaption></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let’s look at how to add breadcrumbs.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"aioseo-how-to-add-breadcrumbs-in-wordpress\">How to Add Breadcrumbs in WordPress</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Breadcrumbs are easy to implement.

However, the same strategies can also help you rank on other search engines like Bing, Yandex, Firefox, and more.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"aioseo-why-is-seo-important-to-your-business\">Why Is SEO Important to Your Business?</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several reasons why SEO is important to your business. Here are the main ones:</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"aioseo-generates-organic-traffic\">Generates Organic Traffic</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most important reasons to invest in SEO is that it <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/10-methods-to-generate-organic-traffic/\" title=\"10 Unique Methods to Generate Traffic for Your Site\">generates organic traffic</a>. This is free traffic from people searching on browsers like Google, Bing, Firefox, etc. Besides being free, organic traffic has the advantages of bringing in qualified leads and being sustainable long-term.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"aioseo-increases-brand-awareness-and-authority\">Increases Brand Awareness and Authority</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another benefit of SEO is that it helps you increase brand awareness. As searchers encounter your brand regularly after making search queries, they become more familiar with it. These regular encounters also result in you building brand authority. Searchers will trust your content more than content from other brands.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"aioseo-helps-with-brand-reputation\">Helps with Brand Reputation</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Brand reputation is an asset that’s critical to business growth. The more reputable your brand is, the more likely searchers will click on your search listing and convert to paying customers. Reputation management is another significant benefit of SEO. By ranking high on SERPs, you control the narrative of what your target audience knows about your brand.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"aioseo-seo-mistakes-every-small-business-should-avoid\">SEO Mistakes Every Small Business Should Avoid</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know what SEO is and why it’s important to your business, let’s dive into the common SEO mistakes you should avoid.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"aioseo-1-not-using-an-seo-plugin\">1. Not Using an SEO Plugin</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest SEO mistakes many small businesses make is not using an SEO plugin. SEO plugins help you optimize various aspects of your website and content for search.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to WordPress SEO plugins, it doesn’t get any better than the original WordPress SEO plugin — <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/pricing/\" title=\"Pricing\">All In One SEO</a> (AIOSEO).</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"311\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/aioseo.png\" alt=\"AIOSEO is the best WordPress SEO plugin as it helps you avoid major SEO mistakes.\" class=\"wp-image-170372\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/aioseo.png 700w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/aioseo-300x133.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/aioseo-600x267.png 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/aioseo-135x60.png 135w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/aioseo-203x90.png 203w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://aioseo.com/pricing/\" title=\"Pricing\">AIOSEO</a> is the best WordPress SEO plugin on the market and is trusted by over 3 million savvy website owners and marketers to help them dominate the SERPs and drive relevant traffic to their sites.

Failing to Add Schema Markup to Posts and Pages</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Schema markup is a piece of code you inject into a page or post to help search engines better understand your content. This results in better indexing and leads to your content ranking higher for relevant searches.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>While schema markup, also called structured data, sounds like an SEO strategy for advanced SEOs, it isn’t. That’s because powerful plugins like AIOSEO make it easy to add schema markup without touching a single line of code.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>AIOSEO will automatically add schema markup without any configuration needed, and it just works out of the box. But it also has some incredibly powerful customization features to help you take it to the next level.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is all thanks to AIOSEO’s next-gen Schema generator.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>To add schema markup using AIOSEO, open your target page in editor mode, scroll down to <strong>AIOSEO Settings</strong>, and then click on <strong>Schema</strong>.</p>\n\n\n\n<p></p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"420\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/seo-mistakes-schema-1.png\" alt=\"Easily add any schema type with AIOSEO.\" class=\"wp-image-197896\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/seo-mistakes-schema-1.png 700w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/seo-mistakes-schema-1-300x180.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/seo-mistakes-schema-1-600x360.png 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/seo-mistakes-schema-1-100x60.png 100w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/seo-mistakes-schema-1-150x90.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, the schema type will be set to <strong>Article</strong>. You can remove this by clicking the <strong>trash can</strong> icon. Alternatively, you can add another schema type to your page by clicking on the <strong>Generate Schema</strong> button. Doing so will open the <strong>Schema Catalog,</strong> from which you can choose the schema you want to add.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"472\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/schema-generator-catalog.png\" alt=\"Choose the schema type you want in the schema catalog.\" class=\"wp-image-132311\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/schema-generator-catalog.png 700w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/schema-generator-catalog-300x202.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/schema-generator-catalog-600x405.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, you can select the schema type you want to add to your page.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on adding schema markup, check out <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/add-schema-markup-to-wordpress-without-a-plugin/\" title=\"How to Add Schema Markup to WordPress Without a Plugin\">this step-by-step tutorial</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest advantages of adding schema markup to your pages is that it helps search engines generate rich results for your search snippets.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"237\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/seo-mistakes-product-snippet.png\" alt=\"Schema markup helps generate rich snippets that are more attractive.\" class=\"wp-image-197897\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/seo-mistakes-product-snippet.png 700w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/seo-mistakes-product-snippet-300x102.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/seo-mistakes-product-snippet-600x203.png 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/seo-mistakes-product-snippet-177x60.png 177w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/seo-mistakes-product-snippet-266x90.png 266w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://aioseo.com/how-to-add-rich-snippets-to-wordpress/\" title=\"How to Add Rich Snippets to WordPress (The Easy Way)\">Rich snippets</a> are search listings with more information than traditional snippets, leading to increased CTRs and better rankings.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides rich snippets, schema markup can also improve your chances of landing the coveted featured snippet, also known as “position zero.” This results in a boost in traffic to your website.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"aioseo-3-not-connecting-to-google-search-console\">3. Not Connecting to Google Search Console</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another SEO mistake small businesses make is not connecting their website to Google Search Console (GSC). GSC is a free tool from Google that lets you see how your site performs in search and what you can do to improve it. For example, it helps you:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Confirm that Google can locate and crawl your WordPress site</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submit new content for indexing&nbsp;</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Easily submit sitemaps</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Analyze your site’s impressions, clicks, and position on Google</li>\n\n\n\n<li>See which search queries (search terms) cause your site to appear in search results</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>GSC is one of the SEO tools every digital marketer needs to help them fine-tune their SEO campaigns. This is why you must not ignore this powerful tool. Instead, ensure you connect it to your WordPress site.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For detailed instructions on connecting GSC to your WordPress site, <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/how-to-add-google-search-console-to-your-wordpress-website/\" title=\"How to Add Google Search Console to Your WordPress Website\">check out this easy-to-follow guide</a>.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>With AIOSEO, you also get our proprietary Google Search Console integration called Search Statistics.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"702\" height=\"370\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/monitor-seo-rankings-search-statistics-dashboard-new.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-187812\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/monitor-seo-rankings-search-statistics-dashboard-new.png 702w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/monitor-seo-rankings-search-statistics-dashboard-new-300x158.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/monitor-seo-rankings-search-statistics-dashboard-new-600x316.png 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/monitor-seo-rankings-search-statistics-dashboard-new-114x60.png 114w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/monitor-seo-rankings-search-statistics-dashboard-new-171x90.png 171w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This powerful module gives you a lot of <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/how-to-use-seo-data-to-boost-search-rankings/\" title=\"How to Use SEO Data to Boost Your Search Rankings&nbsp;\">SEO data</a> pulled from GSC, right within your WordPress dashboard.

Neglecting Internal Link Building</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As you create content for your <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/how-to-start-a-small-business-blog/\" title=\"How to Start a Small Business Blog in 2023\">small business blog</a>, you should build internal links between your posts and pages.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Internal links are essential to SEO as they encourage visitors to your site to explore other pieces of content. As a result, this helps you boost your conversion rates.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reason internal links shouldn’t be neglected because they help spread link equity across your site. This helps ensure that all pages on your site stand a better chance of ranking in search.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building internal links can be a time-consuming and laborious task if done manually. Thankfully, you can automate this using AIOSEO’s Link Assistant.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"381\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/internal-linking-with-link-assistant-links-report.png\" alt=\"To help boost your internal linking strategy, Link Assistant\" class=\"wp-image-79017\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/internal-linking-with-link-assistant-links-report.png 700w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/internal-linking-with-link-assistant-links-report-300x163.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/internal-linking-with-link-assistant-links-report-600x327.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This powerful tool helps you find linking opportunities on your site and automates the building of links between related pages. Not only does this save you time, but it boosts your SEO too.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out our <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/how-to-use-link-assistant-to-optimize-your-internal-linking-strategy/\" title=\"How to Use Link Assistant to Optimize Your Internal Linking Strategy\">Link Assistant tutorial</a> for step-by-step instructions on using this powerful tool.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"aioseo-5-focusing-on-traffic-alone\">5. Focusing on Traffic Alone</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another common mistake many small businesses make with their SEO is focusing on traffic alone. Unless your business model is built on ads, optimizing for traffic alone won’t do you any good.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, what good is traffic if you can’t convert it to paying customers?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, instead of focusing on traffic, focus on attracting visitors who are more likely to turn into customers. One way of doing this is by conducting intent-based keyword research. This will help you create content that meets search intent.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to ensure you only drive qualified traffic is by creating content tailored to your target audience’s needs. If you sell a technical product, tutorials and other types of bottom-of-the-funnel (BoFu) content will serve you well here.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, instead of just focusing on traffic, focus on meeting your users&#8217; needs.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"aioseo-6-ignoring-meta-tags\">6. Ignoring Meta Tags</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ignoring meta tags is another common SEO mistake to avoid. While meta tags are not directly a ranking factor, they greatly impact your SEO.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>That’s why you must take time to create optimized meta tags. You should also go the extra mile to check if your meta tags are properly optimized. This is super easy with our SEOP Preview tool.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"702\" height=\"601\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/seo-preview-frontend-google-1.png\" alt=\"The SEO Preview tool helps you see how your search snippet will look on SERPs.\" class=\"wp-image-140576\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/seo-preview-frontend-google-1.png 702w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/seo-preview-frontend-google-1-300x257.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/seo-preview-frontend-google-1-600x514.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A few ways of optimizing your meta tags include:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Include your keyword</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep them within the prescribed character limits</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make them descriptive</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can check out our guide to <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/how-to-write-meta-descriptions-for-seo/\" title=\"How to Write Meta Descriptions for SEO (Boost CTR &amp; Rankings)\">writing meta descriptions</a> that convert for more tips.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crafting optimized meta tags may seem like extra work, but they help improve your organic clickthrough rates and boost your SEO.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"aioseo-7-neglecting-image-optimization\">7. Neglecting Image Optimization</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Images are an excellent way to encourage visitors to engage with your content.

Or maybe learning it doesn&#8217;t interest you.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understand that a full-service agency will likely charge a <strong>premium</strong> for handling low-level tasks, such as optimizing title tags and meta descriptions.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And original, compelling content optimized for SEO is hard to come by and <em>expensive</em>.  You may be better off using an agency specializing in this rather than a &#8220;jack-of-all-trades&#8221; firm.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you can also choose to handle content creation in-house too.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"aioseo-specialty-issues\">Specialty Issues</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mid-sized or large companies with complex website issues may need to hire a technical SEO specialist.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speed optimization can also require technical expertise.

And if it did, it would be difficult to prove.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, we know of a successful serial entrepreneur who&#8217;s been running a profitable website for years with no logo (just the site name) and a stock, out-of-the-box WordPress theme. He recently added a logo. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why the wait? For his niche, it simply wasn&#8217;t an issue that deserved prioritization.</p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"aioseo-can-i-do-this-myself\"><strong>Can I do this myself?</strong></h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Budget-constrained? There are lots of low-cost online tools that make it easy to create impressive logos and brand materials. And you can use services like <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/recommends/printful\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Printful</a> to design branded merchandise easily.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding website illustrations, consider the free unDraw.co service created by artist Katerina Limpitsouni. You can alter the colors to match your brand. And they&#8217;re free to download as a PNG or SVG file.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here’s an example.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"727\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/undraw-illustration-example-1024x727.png\" alt=\"undraw illustration of woman sitting at desk\" class=\"wp-image-195888\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/undraw-illustration-example-1024x727.png 1024w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/undraw-illustration-example-300x213.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/undraw-illustration-example-768x545.png 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/undraw-illustration-example-600x426.png 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/undraw-illustration-example-84x60.png 84w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/undraw-illustration-example-127x90.png 127w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/undraw-illustration-example.png 1370w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Tools like <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/recommends/canva\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Canva</a> make it easy to create social media graphics, eye-catching charts, brochures, book covers, posters, merchandise, and even cartoons.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"510\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/canva-brochure-template-1-1024x510.jpg\" alt=\"canva brochure template\" class=\"wp-image-195891\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/canva-brochure-template-1-1024x510.jpg 1024w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/canva-brochure-template-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/canva-brochure-template-1-768x383.jpg 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/canva-brochure-template-1-1536x766.jpg 1536w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/canva-brochure-template-1-2048x1021.jpg 2048w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/canva-brochure-template-1-600x299.jpg 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/canva-brochure-template-1-120x60.jpg 120w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/canva-brochure-template-1-181x90.jpg 181w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For data-rich sites, consider using Tableau to create interactive web graphics.

You can use them to book appointments and sell services and downloadable or physical products. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Online courses and communities are also commonly included in sites.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>How fast a website loads impacts conversion rates and sales. And excellent content can also drive conversions and sales.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Features of a quality website include</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Secure checkout and straightforward navigation</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Helpful information for the target market</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Social proof, like testimonials or <a href=\"https://trustpulse.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">live transactions</a></li>\n\n\n\n<li>A persuasive case for the product or service</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compelling copy.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"aioseo-what-website-services-do-marketing-agencies-provide\">What Website Services Do Marketing Agencies Provide?</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An agency can provide web design and development services. They&#8217;ll meet with you to learn your business goals and understand your requirements.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team will comprise at least one creative artist and one or more developers.</p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"aioseo-what-to-expect\">What to Expect</h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In one or more &#8220;discovery&#8221; meetings, the agency team will draw out your goals, get information on your brand, and present options.  </p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have a logo, or want a new one, then a branding package will be negotiated and relevant charges added to the estimate.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The outcome will be a proposal and plan that lists your deliverables (such as logo files and logins) and theirs, on a timeline. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s important to realize that many agencies will expect you to furnish the site architecture and all content for every page. </p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Architecture refers to the file and folder structure of the site. It includes how each page relates to the whole.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Content includes every letter on every page. </li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s common for small businesses to mistakenly think the agency will create all the content and architecture for you. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>While they may offer to do this, it will be at additional cost. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you provide it, it will likely take you far longer than you expect.</p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-aioseo-theme-notice-box\" role=\"alert\">\n<p>Pro tip: Be careful to calculate how much time it will take to create and deliver the content to the agency. Often owners of existing sites want new content to accompany a new site. And that takes time to create. We know of a case where a marketer was still chasing a site owner for the last piece of content, 1 full year after the project began. And be aware: some agencies will include a contract clause requiring you to deliver certain assets by a specific date, or the project will be put on hold or cancelled.</p>\n</div>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"aioseo-a-glimpse-into-industry-changes\">A Glimpse into Industry Changes</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, website creation has become increasingly &#8220;<strong>Lego-fied</strong>.&#8221; Pre-made building blocks, like shopping carts, contact forms, and home page designs, are available, speeding up the site creation process.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even the best designers use templates of various types, frameworks, and libraries of pre-built modules. So, no one is building anything entirely from scratch.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, when you request specific functionality, like a shopping cart, the agency may use language that makes it sound like they <em>are</em> building it from scratch: &#8220;Sure, we can provide a shopping cart. We&#8217;ve estimated that will take X hours and cost $7,500.&#8221; </p>\n\n\n\n<p>In reality, they&#8217;re re-selling pre-made parts that they’ll modify to fit your site design.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, it <em>does</em> take work to set these things up on a new website. And, if you&#8217;re moving from one type of CMS to another, that can require substantial work.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"aioseo-questions-to-ask-yourself-before-hiring\">Questions to Ask Yourself Before Hiring</h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"aioseo-why-do-you-need-a-new-website\"><strong>Why do </strong>I want a new website?</h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you define what you hope to achieve with a new website. That includes how it will support your business goals. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps you simply want a more professional look and content that better communicates the expertise of your staff. Those are legitimate goals.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is your current site buggy and slow? Fixing your site can help your business. But it won&#8217;t create leads or sales out of thin air.</p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"aioseo-do-i-expect-a-new-website-to-increase-my-traffic\"><strong>Do I expect a new website to increase my traffic?</strong></h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s common for small business owners to believe that a new website automatically means <em>more traffic</em>. And they don&#8217;t necessarily <em>voice</em> this expectation.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, new websites experience lower traffic temporarily. If optimized for SEO, the site’s traffic will pick up after Google indexes the site again.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, we know of a case where a business spared no expense with their website redesign, hiring top SEO pros, and yet, following the launch, they sustained a 50% decline in traffic.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>A website is an online container for your content. In and of itself, it doesn’t generate traffic. And moving to a new platform can cause unexpected problems.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of your results, you&#8217;ll need a <strong>plan for <em>acquiring traffic</em></strong>.</p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"aioseo-can-i-or-a-staff-member-do-this-ourselves\"><strong>Can I, or a staff member, do this ourselves?</strong></h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There are lots of DIY &#8220;<strong>website builders</strong>.&#8221; These software products enable you to drag-and-drop blocks to build a website.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well-known builders include WordPress, <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/recommends/squarespace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Squarespace</a>, <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/recommends/wix\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Wix</a>, and Webflow.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The downside</strong>: Many of these solutions are filled with code to please everybody, so they&#8217;re &#8220;bloated&#8221; and slow. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>What they offer in simplicity, they may take away in site speed. And that can kill your conversions and sales.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some, like Wix and Squarespace, don&#8217;t offer the option to choose a different web host. (The quality of web hosting can affect speed and reliability.)</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"406\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/wordpress-theme-examples-1024x406.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-196640\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/wordpress-theme-examples-1024x406.jpg 1024w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/wordpress-theme-examples-300x119.jpg 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/wordpress-theme-examples-768x304.jpg 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/wordpress-theme-examples-1536x609.jpg 1536w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/wordpress-theme-examples-2048x812.jpg 2048w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/wordpress-theme-examples-600x238.jpg 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/wordpress-theme-examples-151x60.jpg 151w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/wordpress-theme-examples-227x90.jpg 227w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>You can upload as many themes as you like to WordPress.

And Facebook Ads marketers may include a fee based on a percentage of your customer lifetime value (CLV).</p>\n\n\n\n<p>SEO, email marketing, and social media work usually entails monthly retainers.

00:00:10]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hello, everyone, and welcome to the WordPress Briefing, the podcast where you can catch quick explanations of the ideas behind the WordPress open source project, some insight into the community that supports it, and get a small list of big things coming up in the next two weeks. I&#8217;m your guest host Chloé Bringmann. And here we go.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Intro music)</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Chloé Bringmann 00:00:40]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I have the privilege of guest hosting this episode of the WordPress Briefing. And today I have with me a very special guest. The Head of Programs and Contributor Experience, Angela Jin. Welcome. Before we dive into all the questions, can you tell me and our listeners a little bit about your role in the WordPress community?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Angela Jin 00:01:01]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah, happy to, and thank you so much for having me. I&#8217;m very excited to be here. I am the Head of Programs and Contributor Experience, and I provide oversight and guidance for our WordPress programs, such as our events programs, training, and Five for the Future, with an eye toward ensuring their sustainability and growth. I&#8217;m very fortunate to work with our contributors across many teams around the world. In addition to troubleshooting and helping folks figure out how to move forward, I also spend a good amount of time exploring with others what could be in our programs.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Chloé Bringmann 00:01:41]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>We just got back from WordCamp Europe in Athens, Greece. It was such an energizing event for me, but I&#8217;m curious about what your impressions were of the past week.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Angela Jin 00:01:52]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah, it was fantastic. I&#8217;m always really inspired by what a group of like-minded people can achieve together. There&#8217;s a lot of passion for this particular WordCamp, and it made for a really wonderful WordPress experience. Full of lots of great connections and memories; I have a million follow-ups and probably even more thoughts to reflect on. So it&#8217;s great. There were a lot of new WordPressers there. So it was lovely to meet them. And I&#8217;m really excited to see how many exciting new projects and ideas that we have in the space.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Chloé Bringmann 00:02:27]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Same, you said it perfectly. Josepha also mentioned in the flagship’s keynote, the proposal for the next generation of WordCamps. I&#8217;m curious about what the main ideas and goals, as discussed thus far, are of that proposal.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Angela Jin 00:02:42]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For sure. So WordCamps have been fundamental for the WordPress community for a very long time. And while they have continued to grow larger and reach more places around the world, it&#8217;s also undeniable that the way that people meet has changed since 2006.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Angela Jin 00:03:01]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so, just as WordPress itself iterates we&#8217;re looking at iterating on WordCamps so that they move from fundamental to indispensable for the WordPressers of today and tomorrow. So event attendees today are looking to learn essential skills, make connections that lead to neat opportunities, and more.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Angela Jin 00:03:23]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So to that end, we put forth an updated purpose for our events, which is that WordPress events spark innovation and adoption by way of accessible training and networking for users, builders, designers, and extenders. We celebrate community by accelerating 21st-century skills, professional opportunities, and partnerships for WordPressers of today and tomorrow.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Angela Jin 00:03:47]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the goal here is to create events that are more clearly defined &#8211; who these are for what you will gain from attending. We are looking to see events that take a deeper dive into content, or topics and provide more advanced content. And let&#8217;s try out some different formats and see how that shapes our event experience. And so it is a big shift. And change is always hard.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Angela Jin 00:04:13]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the feedback that I&#8217;ve gotten so far, and certainly at WordCamp Europe, is that this is a very welcome evolution. And the Community team has already received over 60 proposals. So I&#8217;m very excited about that. In fact, a WordPress Community Day in Rome has already been announced and is focused on providing meet-up organizing and community management skills. So that&#8217;s pretty cool.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;[Chloé Bringmann 00:04:37]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wow, that&#8217;s incredible. I love that we&#8217;ve gotten 60 suggestions already and that we already have an event in place. That&#8217;s fantastic. In that blog post, too, it&#8217;s mentioned that WordCamps should prioritize inclusivity and diversity. How can organizers ensure these values are upheld in the next generation of WordCamps and beyond events? Into our day-to-day project involvement?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Angela Jin 00:05:04]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Excellent question. So while WordCamps themselves are changing, some of our core values, like prioritizing inclusivity and diversity, are non-negotiable. For the whole project, we have a diversity, equity, and inclusion statement, and a Code of Conduct that lays out how we expect our community to engage with each other in this space.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Angela Jin 00:05:27]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And on top of that, our programs do focus on providing resources and training like how to create a diverse speaker roster. And we have diverse speaker training workshops on how to organize a diverse and inclusive WordPress event. And we also have a great list of third-party resources as well. And so, with so many events, we create a lot of opportunities to grow as a visible contributor, whether it is a speaker, a volunteer, or an organizer.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Angela Jin 00:05:56]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so with the next generation of events, we could more intentionally create these spaces for groups that historically have been underrepresented. Even long before my post went live, the BlackPress meetup group, for example, wanted to create an event that connected with historically black colleges and universities. And an event like that that really invites a specific group to learn all about WordPress would be a really great experience and a wonderful way to celebrate that community and a great connection to the broader community so that we can intentionally get to the diversity that we want to see.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Angela Jin 00:06:38]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I also want to add that the people who are underrepresented in our community are more likely to need financial sponsorship. And so even though we do keep our ticket prices low so that our events are more easily accessible, the cost of travel continues to increase, not to mention the time and energy required to participate in these events. So an excellent way that companies can help is to sponsor somebody&#8217;s time and somebody&#8217;s contributions, which we&#8217;re always trying to encourage through the Five for the Future program.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Chloé Bringmann 00:07:11]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beautiful. So, with that in mind, how do you foresee the next generation of WordCamps impacting the WordPress community, that larger ecosystem? So, what changes do you hope to see regarding community engagement, learning opportunities, and best practices?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Angela Jin 00:07:31]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I foresee us evolving our tried and true event format into a dynamic wealth of community-led opportunities. I know that online events were pretty exhausting during the worst of the pandemic, but there is a ton of unexplored opportunities there. And community research is also showing that online is a great way to create more inclusive and diverse events.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Angela Jin 00:07:58]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Training team, with their learn WordPress online workshops, have really led the way with our online events. And there are so many more people that we can reach there.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Angela Jin 00:08:08]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so in addition to providing more advanced content, I also hope to see content around broader tech and business trends that influence WordPress, and conversely, how WordPress can shape those trends as well. And with all of that, I really hope that we can bring in more community members that otherwise wouldn&#8217;t be interested in what we currently offer, especially a younger generation that will help us drive the next generation of WordPress, the open source project.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Chloé Bringmann 00:08:39]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Very excited to hear all of this, and I bet our listeners are too. I&#8217;m curious how they and community members can provide feedback or get involved with this next generation of WordCamps.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Angela Jin 00:08:50]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m going to encourage everyone, please come chat with the Community team and comment on the current posts. We really welcome your feedback to help us get our events to this next iteration of what they will become. There are two posts, in particular, one is to suggest ideas of event formats and topics that you would like to see. And the second is if you are an organizer, we&#8217;re inviting you to hear some recommendations for improved tooling that would be helpful for your event site. And we&#8217;ll include links to those posts in the show notes.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Chloé Bringmann 00:09:26]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>One final question for you, Angela. Any thoughts as we prepare for WordCamp US and the Community Summit, which will be in National Harbor, Maryland, in August?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Angela Jin 00:09:37]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the Community Summit in particular, if you want to attend and you haven&#8217;t already applied, please please do make sure to apply as soon as possible. And encourage somebody else who you think should attend to apply as well.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Angela Jin 00:09:53]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if financial constraints are a blocker, we are aiming to help with the cost of hotel and or flight. And so one way to help support the diversity and inclusion of this event, and really to the whole project, is to also contribute to the Community Summit travel fund. You can find information about all of that on the Community Summit site.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Angela Jin 00:10:15]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And next, if you have a topic in mind that you think needs to be discussed at the Community Summit, please please also share that information with us as well. And last but not least, I am, I am so excited. I&#8217;m not going to spoil anything. But I have been working with the WordCamp US organizing team and looking at some of what they have planned and some of the content. It&#8217;s going to be a truly incredible event, so don&#8217;t miss out.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Chloé Bringmann 00:010:41]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, wonderful. Thank you so much for joining me, Angela. And I can&#8217;t wait to see you and the WordPress community in August in person.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Chloé Bringmann 00:010:58]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which brings us now to our small list of big things. First up is the proposal and establishment of a new WordPress contributor team, the Sustainability team. Coming into WordCamp Europe, a proposal was put forward to create a team that would embed sustainable practices and processes in the ecosystem to ensure the Project&#8217;s longevity, both socially, economically, and as well environmentally. At WordCamp Europe, this proposal was confirmed, and the Sustainability team is now officially the 22nd contributor team that WordPressers can support with their contributions. Head on over to their making WordPress Slack channel, #sustainability, and join the conversation.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Chloé Bringmann 00:011:39]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, I would like to call your attention to the 6.4 development cycle post that was published on June 5th. 6.4 will be the third major release of 2023 and supports our diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts by being led by those contributors that identify as underrepresented gender. This release will also be the first to kick off phase three of the Gutenberg roadmap, which is collaborative editing and workflows. I&#8217;ve included a link to the post in our show notes and encourage anyone who is interested in being part of this momentous release to join us in making this both impactful and meaningful.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Chloé Bringmann 00:012:16]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, WordCamp US, as discussed, will be upon us before we know it starting on August 24th at National Harbor, Maryland. While tickets may be sold out, volunteers are still very much needed to make the flagship event run smoothly. So stop by us.wordcamp.org, raise your hand, and join us in August for engagement, inspiration, and learning. And that, my friends, is your small list of big things. I&#8217;m your guest host Chloé Bringmann and thank you for tuning in today for the WordPress Briefing.</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:5:\"15179\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:1;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:66:\"\n		\n		\n		\n		\n		\n				\n		\n		\n		\n		\n\n					\n										\n					\n		\n		\n			\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:4:{s:0:\"\";a:6:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:33:\"Twenty Years of WordPress at WCEU\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:69:\"https://wordpress.org/news/2023/06/twenty-years-of-wordpress-at-wceu/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Sat, 10 Jun 2023 22:21:51 +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:8:\"category\";a:4:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:6:\"Events\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}i:1;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:7:\"General\";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:\"\";}i:3;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4:\"WCEU\";s: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:35:\"https://wordpress.org/news/?p=15167\";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:373:\"Inspiring the global community The atmosphere was electric at WordCamp Europe (WCEU) 2023 in Athens, Greece, as WordPress celebrated its 20th anniversary and the opportunity to gather in person for inspiration and engagement.

More than 2,500 individuals from 94 countries came together in person or through the live stream to participate in a remarkable three-day event (plus Contributor Day) filled with talks, networking, and learning opportunities. The event concluded on June 10 with a captivating keynote address by WordPress co-founder <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/matt/\">Matt Mullenweg</a>, Executive Director <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/chanthaboune/\">Josepha Haden Chomphosy</a>, and Gutenberg Product Architect <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/matveb/\">Matías Ventura</a>, who highlighted the advancements and upcoming milestones of the WordPress Project.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>One significant update shared during the keynote was the successful reactivation of WordCamps. This time last year, we organized eight in-person WordCamps, and by the end of 2022, the number had risen to 23. Thanks to the enthusiasm and involvement of the WordPress community, we are already on track to organize 25 WordCamps in the first half of this year alone.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josepha also emphasized the importance of the upcoming Community Summit on August 22-23. This in-person gathering brings contributors together across the WordPress open source project, fostering cross-project discussions vital for future growth and sustainability. For more information, visit the official <a href=\"https://communitysummit.wordcamp.org/2023/\">Community Summit website</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2023/06/Five-for-the-Future-WCEU-1.png?resize=585%2C365&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Total contributors: 7788 (737 new)\nContributors pledged to 5ftF: 780 (95 new)\n152 companies total with confirmed contributors (30 new)\" class=\"wp-image-15171\" width=\"585\" height=\"365\" srcset=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2023/06/Five-for-the-Future-WCEU-1.png?resize=1024%2C640&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2023/06/Five-for-the-Future-WCEU-1.png?resize=300%2C188&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2023/06/Five-for-the-Future-WCEU-1.png?resize=768%2C480&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2023/06/Five-for-the-Future-WCEU-1.png?resize=1536%2C960&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2023/06/Five-for-the-Future-WCEU-1.png?resize=2048%2C1280&amp;ssl=1 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Discussing the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/five-for-the-future/\">Five for the Future</a> (5ftF) program, Josepha highlighted the impressive growth in active contributors and company pledges over the past year. She also underscored the expansion of the WordPress ecosystem, citing examples like <a href=\"https://openverse.org/\">Openverse</a>, which now provides access to nearly 800 million images and audio files, all easily accessible in the Site Editor.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another exciting addition to the WordPress repertoire is <a href=\"https://playground.wordpress.net/\">WP Playground</a>. This new feature allows users to build WordPress applications instantly in the browser without needing a PHP server. This tool provides a swift and seamless experience, reducing the installation time from five minutes to a near-instantaneous 500 milliseconds. The application of WP Playground may seem like magic, but its practical application promises tangible and revolutionary benefits for WordPress users.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matías Ventura then took the stage to share updates on Gutenberg. Through a visually stunning video built entirely with blocks, he showcased the six-year development journey and the transition from words to blocks to a final design. The upcoming WordPress version 6.3 will mark the completion of the first two phases of Gutenberg, consolidating all these features into a cohesive and user-friendly experience. He also highlighted the introduction of features such as the Wayfinder tool, Style Book, and the ability to save patterns, further empowering users to own their web presence and voice.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the keynote presentation, the WordPress leadership engaged in a<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzKiKRodHQ0\"> lively Q&amp;A session </a>with the audience, further illustrating the continuous evolution within the WordPress Project. This session highlighted how the WordPress community innovates, iterates, and continually improves to create a better platform for today and tomorrow.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/VzKiKRodHQ0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"></iframe>\n</div></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Join the global community and be part of the WordPress journey toward a brighter future!</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Special thanks to <a href=\'https://profiles.wordpress.org/cbringmann/\' class=\'mention\'><span class=\'mentions-prefix\'>@</span>cbringmann</a> and <a href=\'https://profiles.wordpress.org/eidolonnight/\' class=\'mention\'><span class=\'mentions-prefix\'>@</span>eidolonnight</a> for review and collaboration</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:5:\"15167\";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:60:\"\n		\n		\n		\n		\n		\n				\n		\n		\n\n					\n										\n					\n		\n		\n			\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:4:{s:0:\"\";a:6:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:35:\"The Month in WordPress – May 2023\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:67:\"https://wordpress.org/news/2023/06/the-month-in-wordpress-may-2023/\";s: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 Jun 2023 10:15:56 +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:8:\"category\";a:2:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:18:\"Month in WordPress\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}i:1;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:18:\"month in wordpress\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:35:\"https://wordpress.org/news/?p=15100\";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:\"May has been a month of celebrating WordPress and the open source community that makes it possible.

Then in February of this year, Hari Shanker published a proposal for a mentorship program for WordPress.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And now we&#8217;ve got a pilot program that&#8217;s been defined and is waiting for your feedback. If you&#8217;ve not read the post about the contributor mentorship program, for one do it. But if you would rather hear a synopsis from me, don&#8217;t worry, I&#8217;m about to give you a 10-cent tour.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:01:22]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>First up, who is doing this? This pilot program has been outlined by a community working group. We often have working groups in WordPress, and they almost always have specific projects around events or programs, or code updates. Since this working group is focused on a project-wide program, there is project-wide representation in it. All the names are at the bottom of the post, which you can find in our show notes. But it&#8217;s got folks who contribute with code or contribute with time or contribute with design folks who are self-sponsored or corporately sponsored, just a nice mix of people. The program as a whole, though, is being stewarded by Hari Shankar, a longtime supporter of and contributor to WordPress. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:02:06]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So next, what is this for? There are a few goals for the program. But the overarching goal is to increase the success of new contributors over time. We can all agree that if we were to have 1000s of new contributors every day, but they couldn&#8217;t find their way to impactful contributions or meaningful connections quickly, then we would have done them a disservice. And they probably won&#8217;t continue to be part of the community without a bit more effort.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The when and the where are essentially “right now and right here,” so that brings us finally to Why. Why are we doing this mentorship program? Apart from to help people who want to contribute have an easier path to success – which frankly is enough of a reason anyway – the why is wrapped up in our overall philosophies in the project. If we believe that good ideas can come from anywhere and that contributions of any size matter. And that open source is an idea that can change our generation and that we are democratizing publishing, then bringing new people brings new ideas, and beginner contributions can grow over time. We can maintain this idea, this concept of open source, into the next generation and to future generations. And always keep our sights on the open web. To learn more about this and other project-wide initiatives, swing by make.wordpress.org/project or check the links in today&#8217;s show notes on wordpress.org/news/podcast.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:03:53]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which brings us now to our small list of big things.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:03:56]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>First on the list is WordCamp Europe. That&#8217;s coming up at the end of the week on June 8 through 10th in Athens, Greece. There will be a major update from Matt and friends, so even if you aren&#8217;t there in person, keep an eye out for those recordings. But for those who are there and you&#8217;re curious about the mentorship program or anything else to do with WordPress and contributing to the project, you can come find me or Angela Jin, Hari will also be there, Chloé will be there, Héctor will be there, lots of people, and we want to hear your thoughts and answer your questions.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:04:27]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second is a call for brainpower! A call for your brainstorms! On the subject of the next generation, we&#8217;ve got a discussion going on about the next generation of WordCamps. We&#8217;ve been discussing what new types and varieties might be available, and that might make sense for people as we get back to in-person events. So if you&#8217;ve got a kind of WordCamp that you&#8217;ve been desperately wanting to try, now&#8217;s the time to let folks know about it. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:04:54]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the final thing is the second volume of The WordPress history book called Building Blocks: The Evolution of WordPress is now available for download in several formats as well as on GitHub. Stop buy, give it a read, and relive some of the highlights of the past ten years of the WordPress project.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:05:12]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that, my friends, is your smallest of big things.

His initial learning in the 1990s was through joining friends at a local pub where they could explore how websites were structured and learn to use chat software.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This led to Stefano creating websites for fun in 1998, and his first paid job was for the shop where he bought comics. He turned to content management systems (CMS) to speed up the creation process for sites, but found he needed more documentation to really understand their capabilities. Then he read a magazine article about WordPress, a CMS which was being used to make incredible blog sites, and was supported by an international community and documentation. Over time, Stefano started using that documentation to work on websites in Italian.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WordPress provides a life-changing turning point&nbsp;</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Stefano describes himself as an introvert. He found that WordPress helped him to work from home, to develop his skills and the quality of what he could produce, as well as build his self-confidence.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>A catalyst for the turning point in his life and career was the discovery of an area for events on the WordPress dashboard. On this page, he found a forthcoming local meetup in Rome.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>In November 2017, Stefano took the step to go along to this event, led by a curiosity of what he might discover and intrigued by how a software could be supported by a vast community. The topic at the event was on <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/cli/\">WP-CLI</a>, a command line interface for WordPress. He recalled that he felt outside his comfort zone as he did not regard himself as a developer and at that point, had only used the software for simple jobs. He wondered whether using the software as his only CMS was going to be a long term option and if these meetups were suitable for him.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the meetup, people were talking about a forthcoming event, called WordCamp Rome. Through his research, he saw that there was a lot of enthusiasm for this event. This intrigued him and he wondered if it would show him that he could have a career using the software after all.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfamiliar with WordCamps, Stefano found it difficult at first to know what he could go to and how to get involved, but he persevered and attended the event.</p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>&#8220;The WordCamp was a great discovery: talks at all levels from basic to those for developers, advanced and very advanced. I was immediately struck by the enthusiasm of the volunteers. It was an environment where I felt very comfortable, so much so, that I asked myself how I could participate in some WordCamps.&#8221;</p>\n<cite>Stefano Cassone</cite></blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>From this event, Stefano was encouraged by those he met to consider applying as a volunteer for a future WordCamp.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was also much talk at the event about ‘Slack’. It was new to Stefano, but with help from those attending, he signed up for the messaging tool Slack, used by the WordPress community. He was still unsure how he could contribute, and if he would be welcome.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Joining thousands of volunteer translators of WordPress</h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2023/05/stefano-wc-italia-2022.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Italian General Translation Editors at WordPress Italia 2022\" class=\"wp-image-15028\" srcset=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2023/05/stefano-wc-italia-2022.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2023/05/stefano-wc-italia-2022.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2023/05/stefano-wc-italia-2022.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" /><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Italian General Translation Editors at WordPress Italia 2022</figcaption></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Stefano took the plunge and was excited to find there was a team called Polyglots. In this team, people from across the world<a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/\"> translate the WordPress software into many different languages</a>. He started with translating a theme he was using in his work. Little by little he became more interested in plugins and attended meetings with other translators. He offered his skills to translate into Italian themes and plugins in general and as his experience grew, he took on the volunteer role of a General Translation Editor. He also took care of the translation into Italian of the WordPress Core. More recently he has joined the group of translators for the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/docs/handbook/helphub/\">HelpHub</a>, which is part of the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/docs/\">WordPress documentation</a> system.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said: “Participating in the WordPress Slack has helped me enormously: I’ve met a lot of people who I now call friends. Moreover, by translating, I learned a lot about how themes and plugins work.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>“It&#8217;s a great way to contribute to WordPress, especially for someone like me who is not a developer. Translating also allows me to fully understand how WordPress works.&#8221; </p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>&#8220;I always say that translating themes, plugins, and the Core software is the best way to learn WordPress, better than any course or book.”</p>\n<cite>Stefano Cassone</cite></blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sharing skills to support Open Source WordPress</h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"667\" height=\"500\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2023/05/stefano-at-WC-2019.jpg?resize=667%2C500&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Stefano volunteering as a photographer at a WordCamp in 2019 with other contributors.\" class=\"wp-image-15026\" srcset=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2023/05/stefano-at-WC-2019.jpg?w=667&amp;ssl=1 667w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2023/05/stefano-at-WC-2019.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" /><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stefano volunteering as a photographer at a WordCamp in 2019 with other contributors.</figcaption></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Stefano’s growing commitment to the open source WordPress project was further boosted through his volunteering. He was a volunteer at WordCamp Rome 2018 and participated there in his first Contributor Day where he had the opportunity to translate the software with others.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was also able to bring his own hobbies and skills to help the project grow and reach others. One example was his passion for photography, and he volunteered as a photographer for many other events in Italy organized by the WordPress community. He said: “This commitment to the community also allows me to have fun: being a photographer means having the opportunity to walk around the halls and capture moments of the life of a WordCamp.” The more WordCamps he attended, the more he wanted to be part of and keep contributing to the wider WordPress community.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contribution to WordPress is inspiring</h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2023/05/stefano-at-the-support-table-contributor-day.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Stefano at the Support Table at a WordPress Contributor Day\" class=\"wp-image-15025\" srcset=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2023/05/stefano-at-the-support-table-contributor-day.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2023/05/stefano-at-the-support-table-contributor-day.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2023/05/stefano-at-the-support-table-contributor-day.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2023/05/stefano-at-the-support-table-contributor-day.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" /><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stefano at the Support Table at a WordPress Contributor Day</figcaption></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When Stefano was asked to become an organizer for the WordPress meetup in Rome in October 2019, he knew he wanted to be part of reaching and supporting more people in his area. He faced challenges with finding venues, but a greater issue was to come: the Covid-19 pandemic.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spurred on by the <a href=\"https://it.wordpress.org/\">Italian WordPress community</a> as a whole, he was determined that the meetup was still needed. The regular event was transformed into an online meeting. He was able to gain help from people he had met as a volunteer to share their expertise with meetup attendees.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The community in Italy also worked together to put on WordCamp Italia online. It brought together the organizers of previous meetups and WordCamps, and new contributors too. Stefano volunteered in both online editions of this camp, including being part of the social and communication team. He found it to not only be a fun experience but also one that helped him grow professionally and learn from so many others.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>He went onto help restart the <a href=\"https://www.meetup.com/romawordpress/\">Rome WordPress meetup</a> in-person meetings in May 2022, was an organizer for the third WordCamp Italy, and has been volunteering for camps in 2023.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What will WordPress bring you?</h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2023/05/stefano-at-a-wc.jpg?resize=533%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Stefano inspired by his journey at WordCamps asks what will WordPress bring you?\" class=\"wp-image-15024\" srcset=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2023/05/stefano-at-a-wc.jpg?w=533&amp;ssl=1 533w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2023/05/stefano-at-a-wc.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" /><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stefano inspired by his journey at WordCamps asks what will WordPress bring you?</figcaption></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>“Persona and professional growth and friendship” are some of the things they have brought Stefano. Contributing boosted his confidence and willingness to try new opportunities in his work.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said: “The best thing I got out of joining the WordPress community was the chance to collaborate with some people on a working basis and, I have to say, that was incredible. Being with many of them you have an incredible opportunity to grow in knowledge, you just have to be ready to learn. With WordPress you never stop learning.”</p>\n\n\n\n<p>His top recommendation is: “Join your local meetup or think about organizing one, it will introduce you to an amazing world. Don’t be afraid to meet people at WordCamps and Contributor Days, because you will learn more there than in dozens of courses. Talk to people at those events and don’t worry.

I&#8217;m your host, Josepha Haden Chomphosy. Here we go.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Intro continues)</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:00:40]</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today we&#8217;re gonna spend a little time talking about WP Playground. This is a project that debuted at State of the Word in December 2022, but it was demoed for me about a month prior in November.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was, and remain, absolutely floored by the potential future applications, as well as the innovative thinking behind it. So I&#8217;ve invited a couple of excellent WordPress futurists to the show today so that we can listen in on their conversation.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Welcome guys.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Rich Tabor 00:01:07]</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hey everyone, I&#8217;m Rich Tabor, and I&#8217;m here today with Adam Zielinski to talk about WordPress Playground. So for those of you who don&#8217;t know what WordPress Playground is, can you tell us a little bit more about it, Adam?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Adam Zielinski 00:01:18]</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely. WordPress Playground is WordPress that works in your browser like there&#8217;s no server with PHP or database like there&#8217;s just your browser and JavaScript, and you can run it in so many more places that we’ll all get to. For example, I just came back from WordCamp Gliwice, where on a Contributor Day, a couple of developers got set up with WordPress in just a couple of minutes, whereas normally, it can take hours to do that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Rich Tabor 00:01:44]</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah, that&#8217;s, that&#8217;s pretty impressive. Do you think that, particularly for WordCamps and other demo-type areas, this would be something that&#8217;s very useful? Or what do you think would be the other problems that could be solved with WordPress Playground?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Adam Zielinski 00:01:55]</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>Playground solves one primary problem, and that is WordPress is pretty difficult to get started with. I&#8217;m not even talking about creating your website, but let&#8217;s say, someone told you there&#8217;s this WordPress thing that you should try. Well, you Google for it, and you find installation instructions, and there&#8217;s like three hours of work for you there.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So then maybe you&#8217;ll find a hosting company, and you have to pay some money. So with WordPress Playground, you can actually try it for free because there&#8217;s no cost to run it. It just runs on your device. If you&#8217;re a developer, and you want to start learning WordPress, normally you have to go through quite an extensive setup process, and there are some tools to make it easier, but maybe there&#8217;s still friction like you have to even own a computer, like a PC device or a Mac. Playground can run on your phone, and it can power interactive tutorials that you can use and just start learning there and there with zero setup.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like if you work on a product team and someone asks you to test a code change, with Playground you can just click a link and test it with no infrastructure behind it. And if you&#8217;re a company creating a plugin, you can just show your plugin in a live demo to people. And this isn&#8217;t something many plugins are doing because it&#8217;s quite hard to get a live demo set up.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Rich Tabor 00:03:12]</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ah, that&#8217;s pretty impressive. So, you know, amongst like tutorials, code changes for developer environments, the mobile application running, do you think that, since there&#8217;s such a wide brevity of ideas that WordPress Playground can kind of plug into, would this be more of a developer tool?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is that right? Or is Playground more of a like a click and play-type application that can run anywhere and demo anything?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Adam Zielinski 00:03:36]</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;d say it&#8217;s both, but it&#8217;s more transparent for the users. So there are a whole lot of things you can do with Playground as a developer, as I just mentioned. But who are you doing these things for? Well, some of them are for the users, as in live demos, or there&#8217;s a WordCamp Europe coming, and I know some people are doing workshops there. They are going to use Playground to get everyone set up. So now that&#8217;s, well, maybe a workshop that teaches you how to build a theme, for example, right? Now you can just get started without any setup process. So there&#8217;s both, it&#8217;s very useful for development teams, and it&#8217;s very useful for them to build stuff for the final users.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Rich Tabor 00:04:21]</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s great. I know you, and I have probably both been in the same scenario at WordCamps when you&#8217;re trying to get dev environments set up, and it takes, you know, the better half of the workshop to get to step one. So this is really gonna be interesting to see it, especially at WordCamp Europe, and to see it getting into action.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you planning on going to WordCamp Europe this year?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Adam Zielinski 00:04:39]</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely, I will have a table at Contributor Day, a WordPress Playground table. So yeah, everyone&#8217;s invited to come over. I&#8217;ll show you a lot of cool stuff. And then at WP Connect on Saturday at 10:00 AM, there will be a WordPress Playground session where you&#8217;ll be able to learn more and see some cool demos.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this will be a conversational format, so we&#8217;ll just have a nice chat.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Rich Tabor 00:05:01]</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>Super cool. So how else can people find out a little bit more info about Playground and perhaps even get involved and contribute to the project?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Adam Zielinski 00:05:08]</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s a developer.WordPress.org/playground website. There&#8217;s a link in a show notes where you&#8217;ll be able, like this is the perfect entry point to the entire rabbit hole of WordPress Playground.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s a quite a few projects under the WordPress Playground umbrella, and they all live in a single GitHub repository where you can just find any issue that interests if you want to contribute and just start contributing. Also, there&#8217;s a Slack channel in WordPress org space called #meta-playground, and I highly encourage everyone interested in coming over to say hi.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And probably one of the best places to ask questions and get acquainted with the community.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Rich Tabor 00:05:54]</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, that&#8217;s great; I&#8217;m very intrigued about the project overall. I think that there&#8217;s an immense amount of potential, for WordPress Playground. Just last question here, like, where do you see the future of this project going? What is the most interesting application that hasn&#8217;t been done yet, or the things that are really gonna be the next level in unlocking Playground for everyone?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Adam Zielinski 00:06:12]</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s quite a few. Imagine being able to go to WordPress.org and have a WordPress demo right then and there without having to download anything. Then you customize it, and you have a button to host your website anywhere or just to download it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine having a live preview for all the themes and plugins in the directory and even in WordPress core, but these are sooner than later. Maybe like, let&#8217;s talk more grandiose, shall we? So there&#8217;s this term, 1 billion new users coming online in the next, like in the nearest future, and plenty of them doesn&#8217;t even own a desktop device. Maybe they have a mobile phone, maybe they have a tablet, maybe we&#8217;re talking about a young, prospective developer somewhere. And currently, if you don&#8217;t own a desktop device, you cannot contribute to the WordPress plugin ecosystem at all.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like, we&#8217;re seeing more and more of creating themes with no code, which is really exciting. But you cannot build the plugin, really. Well, with WordPress Playground. Suddenly you can do development on a mobile device. So development tools and code editors and just the entire suite of things we use as the developers on our desktop of devices like this may come online and be available in your browser.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you&#8217;re on a train and you just have a phone with you, but you still want to learn, how to build a plugin, well, you&#8217;ll be able to do that. Furthermore, there&#8217;s a lot of exciting opportunities with ChatGPT, as in, well, here&#8217;s a WordPress running entirely on your device. So maybe if that&#8217;s connected to ChatGPT, you&#8217;ll be able to say, well, I like fish, or like, I want two columns and a photo of a racing car on top of it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And because ChatGPT can output HTML, we connect the two, and suddenly, you can build a website entirely in your browser using natural language.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Rich Tabor 00:08:20]</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>Man, that&#8217;s, that&#8217;s really interesting. It really does unlock the next, potentially the next like, wave of innovation in the WordPress experience, especially removing all the complications of getting set up and actually seeing what&#8217;s there. I think that it really could, be huge for users every day.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Adam Zielinski 00:08:38]</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, here&#8217;s one more. So, edge computing is big lately, and it&#8217;s going to be bigger in the future. WordPress Playground runs on this new technology called Web Assembly, and it just happened so that a bunch of edge computing providers allows you to run web assembly on their gear. So imagine having WordPress running entirely in edge infrastructure with no centralized server.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Truly decentralized WordPress. It could be big for a well cost of operating, but also for speed, but also even further down in the future. Imagine downloading the actual, you know, even WordPress around time to your device and having the entire website on your phone. So then you know, you&#8217;re on a train, you enter a tunnel, but you can still browse that WooCommerce store and add things to your cart even though there is no range at all.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Rich Tabor 00:09:32]</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wow, that&#8217;s, that&#8217;s pretty crazy. How far out there do you think something like that is?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Adam Zielinski 00:09:37]</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to tell. I mean, technically, it is possible. There are a lot of challenges with regard to privacy, right? And data security for the edge computing case specifically. As for the development tools, there was a Cloud Fest hackathon earlier this year where I was with Daniel Bachhuber, also from Automattic, and we led this exciting project that brought the WordPress development environment into the browser using a couple of editors that are out there, and this is too much of an MVP for actual production use yet, but we got it working, and we build an actual plugin on a phone without internet access.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Rich Tabor 00:10:19]</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wow. And that was just a hackathon, just hacking at it to see what you can get.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Adam Zielinski 00:10:23]</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah, it was two and a half days.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Rich Tabor 00:10:25]</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, that&#8217;s awesome. That&#8217;s really cool, man. Well, this has been quite a pleasure. Thanks, Adam, for chatting all about WordPress Playground. Folks, just be sure to check out developer.WordPress.org/playground to explore, experiment, and play with WordPress Playground.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has been awesome, Adam.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Adam Zielinski 00:10:43]</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you so much for having me, Rich.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:10:45]</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>What a remarkable new way of working with and experiencing WordPress. I would love to be able to find ways across the project and ecosystem to help folks see what they&#8217;re getting into before they get into it, but also, who knows what the future holds for that project. Keep an eye on it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Musical interlude)</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:11:10]</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>That brings us to our small list of big things happening right now in the WordPress project. The first one is that the Kim Parel Memorial Scholarship for WordCamp US 2023 is open, and applications for it are the WordPress Foundation will once again be offering that scholarship for Travel to WordCamp US.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is for specifically for women in technology, women in the WordPress space. I&#8217;ll include a link to that in the show notes.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second thing is WordPress&#8217; 20th anniversary is still coming, as we heard in the last podcast.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we have reached over 100 events that are scheduled on or around May 27th, which is WordPress’ launch date. There is still time to find your closest location and attend one of those events. And probably, there&#8217;s also time to pull together an event of your own. Head on over to wp20.WordPress.net if you would like to see events in your area.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the third thing is WordCamp US 2023. I realize WordCamp Europe comes before that, but the programming team actually has a really interesting thing that they&#8217;re doing this year. They have some changes to the way that they are organizing the event and finding speakers for the event. But as always, they are working very hard to make sure it is an attendee-focused event.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m gonna include a link or two to some announcements that are really worthwhile there. Head on over to the podcast page to see those. And that, my friends, is your small list of big things. Thank you for tuning in today for the WordPress Briefing. I&#8217;m your host, Josepha Haden Chomphosy. Thanks again to my guests, and I&#8217;ll see y&#8217;all in a couple of weeks.&nbsp;</p>\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:30:\"com-wordpress:feed-additions:1\";a:1:{s:7:\"post-id\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:5:\"14968\";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:60:\"\n		\n		\n		\n		\n		\n				\n		\n		\n\n					\n										\n					\n		\n		\n			\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:4:{s:0:\"\";a:6:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:32:\"WordPress 6.2.2 Security 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:68:\"https://wordpress.org/news/2023/05/wordpress-6-2-2-security-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:\"Sat, 20 May 2023 04:09:39 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s: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:8:\"Security\";s: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:35:\"https://wordpress.org/news/?p=14974\";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:33:\"WordPress 6.2.2 is now available!\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:19:\"Jonathan Desrosiers\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:40:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/\";a:1:{s:7:\"encoded\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:5451:\"\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WordPress 6.2.2 is now available!</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 6.2.2 minor release addresses <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?milestone=6.2.2&amp;col=id&amp;col=summary&amp;col=status&amp;col=owner&amp;col=type&amp;col=priority&amp;col=milestone&amp;order=priority\">1 bug</a> and 1 security issue.

Here we go.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:00:40]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>In case you hadn&#8217;t heard yet. WordPress is celebrating its 20th anniversary on May 27th.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a lot of celebrations and parties happening all across the world, hopefully with cake, because we all know that a party without cake is just a meeting and no one wants a year-long meeting about how old you are.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:00:59]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you&#8217;ve not yet joined the celebrations, there&#8217;s still time to share your favorite WordPress merch, your favorite WordCamp memory, host a whole dang party if you want to, or share a video to post on wp20.wordpress.net. I&#8217;ve got links to everything you need in the show notes. So if you haven&#8217;t done it yet, you can do that while you listen to today&#8217;s episode.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:01:14]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve got links to everything you need in the show notes. So if you haven&#8217;t done it yet, you can do that while you listen to today&#8217;s episode.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:01:22]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, WordPress is the leading CMS in the market. And according to W3Tech&#8217;s it powers 43% of the web. And that&#8217;s like 35% of the top 10,000 sites that are built using this software. And sometimes, that&#8217;s as a website, sometimes as a framework, but always as a way for people and businesses to find a space on the web to call their own.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:01:45]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2021. The first-ever study on the WordPress ecosystem gave us an idea of just how large our ecosystem is. We already kind of had a sense that millions of people make a living through WordPress because we know that we are supporting small business owners and freelancers all the way out to agencies and content creators.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:02:06]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But according to that study, WordPress at the time was powering 82 million websites and enabled an estimated economy of $597 billion. The success of an economy like this and various other alternative economies hinges on the success of invisible open source software that powers the web, just like WordPress, that has a tonne of growth and a lot of wins since that first Cafe Log fork way back in 2003.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:02:37]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And WordPress could just say pencils down, everybody. Good job, team, and just kind of watch what comes next. But I&#8217;ve never met a word processor, emboldened as we are by our belief in open source freedoms, who stepped away from a challenge worth facing the recognition that everyone should have those freedoms whether they know they exist or not. Because I know that no one cares as much about open source freedoms as open source maintainers. But the recognition that everyone has the right to them anyway is built into the foundations of what WordPress is and who WordPress is.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:03:13]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are big plans for WordPress future, many of which are grounded in the promise of a new block editor within WordPress that aims to lower the barriers to entry for people at any point in their learning curve. So let&#8217;s take a look at what this means for WordPress, the software, and follow up about what it means for the WordPress community.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:03:31]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, the software right at the end of 2018, the Gutenberg editor was merged into WordPress Core. And it&#8217;s subverted the way that people had always managed their content. It brought with it this new concept of site building that focused on blocks as the primary mode of creation. It was modular and required very little code knowledge.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:03:53]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arguably also very little skill with design. Although if you&#8217;ve ever seen me tried to design something with blocks, you will know it takes some skill. But still, the ultimate goal was to make those fundamental user interactions of managing the block and apply them in any place you could manage your site using WordPress.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:03:53]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you think about the possibility to create media-rich content without having to work with shortcode, without having to know HTML workarounds, it opens the opportunity for many of us in the WordPress community to own our digital presence. In case it wasn&#8217;t already clear, this, my friends, is an audacious project, and it&#8217;s even more so if you remember that we have this existing and massive ecosystem that is enabled and empowered by our software.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:04:42]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And as we look forward to the third phase of the Gutenberg Project, collaborative editing inside a WordPress installation will soon be a reality, which if you are like me and you never work on a website alone, you&#8217;re probably just dying to have. I say all this not to toot the horn have WordPress or belabor our success but rather to emphasize the importance of what I&#8217;m going to say next, which is how this CMS got to where it is, namely through the work of the community.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:05:12]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress has survived, and I would dare to say thrived through decades of constant economic, cultural, and technological shifts. And I believe that the thing that keeps us innovating fast enough to stay relevant but slow enough to be ethical, is how the community actively engages with the open source project.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:05:32]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>We know that our strength is directly tied to the resilience of our contributors. And we know that the software we ship is shaped by the people who are willing to tell us what they love, what they hate, and what they hope to see. When the WordPress project started, we mainly had code contributions as a way to give back, but over time, the project has grown to include contributions to learning, community building, and translations, among other things, but all of that exists alongside the CMS-focused contributions.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:06:03]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because WordPress as an organization understands that it is an integral part of an ecosystem of 1000s of global companies and millions of individual people who are building careers, starting businesses, learning new skills, and becoming part of something meaningful. I know that I talk just all the time about the greatness of WordPress as a software and community, which makes sense.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:06:29]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really do love the work I do with you all. But I am equally in awe of this open-hearted journey of disruption that WordPress represents as an open source project. WordPress and its community is part of a long line of disruptors; blogs made publishing available to everyone, which maybe doesn&#8217;t sound like a big deal right now because you&#8217;ve been around blogging forever.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:06:51]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ve been able to just put your thoughts on the internet with almost no effort for as long as you have known the internet existed, but WordPress, at the time, was and honestly remains the low code open source CMS of choice. It has been for years. And so, let me backtrack you through the 10,000-foot milestones of our journey here.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:07:14]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gutenberg has been around since 2013. It&#8217;s 10 years. I know, don&#8217;t get scared, we&#8217;re celebrating 20 years. So it&#8217;s been around for half of our time as a concept. Open source as a concept was formalized in the 1980s. Though it definitely has been around longer than that as a concept and a way of working.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:07:34]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this low-code, no-code movement that we hear about from time to time that has been around since the 1970s, and just because we first became aware of it in the 1970s doesn&#8217;t mean that that&#8217;s when it actually first was discussed or thought about or used. Which means that you are in this moment, decades deep into projects that changed our entire understanding of the web.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:07:59]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So grab a slice of cake, and raise a glass to 20 great years of WordPress, and I am going to raise a glass to 20 more years of continuing our journey together.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:08:17]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which brings us effervescently to the small list of big things. Yeah, I said effervescently.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:08:24]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So there are a lot of things happening in the WordPress project over the next couple of weeks. There is a lot of testing going on. There are a lot of releases that are getting underway. There are events and things. So here&#8217;s my rundown of stuff you should take a look at.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:08:38]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So firstly, there is a post out about performance improvements from 6.2. That is just inviting an open discussion so that we can get more of those improvements in better shape to get into the 6.3 release. And speaking of the 6.3 release that is coming, just last week, we announced the release squad that we have.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:08:58]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is an extra heavy release squad because we also are working toward the 6.4 release just at the same time. So there&#8217;s the folks who are running the 6.3 release, and they have committed to working openly and in public channels as much as possible so that the 6.4 folks have a chance to really take a look at what goes into a release, the questions that we ask, the philosophies we believe in, and then that 6.4 release oil pick up probably, my guess is August-ish, mid-August or so.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:09:32]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>That 6.4 release is specifically going to be made up entirely of diverse genders. People that we historically see are underrepresented in technology, but as always, we accept contributions from everyone for all releases.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:09:48]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third thing is that we have WordCamp Europe coming up, that is June 8 and 10th. So a little bit past the two-week mark.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:09:54]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there is a final call for volunteers for anyone who wants to be able to help at the event. I personally have always enjoyed doing that kind of volunteer work. It helps you get to know your community even a bit better. And I don&#8217;t know; I&#8217;m just kind of an extroverted people person. So, of course, I always want to volunteer, but that call is still open. And they&#8217;re in the last phases of that.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:10:17]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is also a team or two that needs some help with getting leads for the contributor day that happens leading up to WordCamp. Europe, I know that the testing team needs a lead for the table, and so if you enjoy the process of triaging or testing or helping people get their environment set up, that is a great opportunity.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:10:37]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the final thing on my small, my big small list of big things is that we have a kind of a review of the currently defined contributor ladder for the Polyglots team. There are a number of posts over the years where we talk about the ways that people move through being a contributor.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:10:57]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the things that we know about almost all contributor ladders is that there&#8217;s no time requirement between the steps, but in general, it functions like a ladder. So you do have to have, like, rung one. And then, rung two, if you try to skip from rung one to rung three, you will have a lot of difficulty.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:11:17]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not impossible, but it&#8217;s harder than going 1, 2, 3 In the normal sequential order. And so that&#8217;s a whole discussion that&#8217;s happening over there. There&#8217;s a link to all of these things in the show notes.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy 00:11:28]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that, my friends, is your small list of big things. Thank you for tuning in today for the WordPress Briefing. I&#8217;m your host, Josepha Haden Chomphosy,  and I&#8217;ll see you again in a couple of weeks.</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:5:\"14949\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}}}s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";a:1:{s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:0:\"\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:1:{s:0:\"\";a:3:{s:4:\"href\";s:32:\"https://wordpress.org/news/feed/\";s:3:\"rel\";s:4:\"self\";s:4:\"type\";s:19:\"application/rss+xml\";}}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";a:2:{s:12:\"updatePeriod\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:9:\"\n	hourly	\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:15:\"updateFrequency\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4:\"\n	1	\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:30:\"com-wordpress:feed-additions:1\";a:1:{s:4:\"site\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:8:\"14607090\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}}}}}}}}s:4:\"type\";i:128;s:7:\"headers\";O:48:\"WpOrg\\Requests\\Utility\\CaseInsensitiveDictionary\":1:{s:7:\"\0*\0data\";a:11:{s:6:\"server\";s:5:\"nginx\";s:4:\"date\";s:29:\"Tue,
