The app utilizes the WordPress REST API endpoints from <a href="https://central.wordcamp.org/">WordCamp Central</a> and hellodev to display sessions, speakers, and news from an event&#8217;s official site.</p>

<p>Schmitz used <a href="https://2018.porto.wordcamp.org/">WordCamp Porto</a> to test features within the app. Sessions are displayed in a timeline and if you give the app permission to access your device&#8217;s calendar, you can add sessions to it and create reminders.</p>

<img />
	Session Timeline


<p>When viewing a session in the app, the screen displays the time the session takes place, name of the speaker with a quick link to a bio, session description, and a section at the bottom to write notes.</p>

<p>There&#8217;s also an option on the top-right corner to mark sessions as favorites. However, during testing, marking a session as a favorite would crash the app.</p>

<img />
	Take Notes While Watching a Session


<p>The app displays all of the necessary information concerning the event without the need to browse to the actual site. Schmitz says he plans to add more information about the city, venue, and the ability to call an UBER in future updates.</p>

<p>WordCamp is a <a href="https://wordpressfoundation.org/trademark-policy/">trademark of the WordPress Foundation</a>. Although Schmitz clearly states that WordCamp for iOS is not the official app for all WordCamps, he does not mention receiving permission from the Foundation to use WordCamp in the name. Unless his app is adopted to be the official App for iOS devices, it&#8217;s likely he will need to change the name.</p>

<p>Searching the App Store for WordCamp only produces two results. Schmitz&#8217;s app and a WordCamp EU Paris Guide. There&#8217;s an official WordCamp App for Android available on <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wordcamp.android&hl=en_US">Google Play</a> and <a href="https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordCamp-Android">GitHub</a> but the project has seen little activity in the last three years.</p>

<p>WordCamp for iOS fills a void and gives users convenient access to a lot of relevant WordCamp information. To check it out for yourself, you can download it for free from the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/wordcamp/id1384323581?mt=8">App Store</a>. </p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Mon, 21 May 2018 20:54:17 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:13:"Jeff Chandler";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:1;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:13:"

<h4>Say hello to “Nouveau”!</h4>
<p>A bold reimagining of our legacy templates, Nouveau is our celebration of <a href="https://buddypress.org/2018/03/10-years/">10 years of BuddyPress</a>! Nouveau delivers modern markup with fresh JavaScript-powered templates, and full integration with WordPress’ Customizer, allowing more out-of-the-box control of your BuddyPress content than ever before.</p>
<p>Nouveau provides vertical and horizontal layout options for BuddyPress navigation, and for the component directories, you can choose between a grid layout, and a classic flat list.</p>
<p>Nouveau is fully compatible with WordPress. Existing BuddyPress themes have been written for our legacy template pack, and until they are updated, resolve any compatibility issues by choosing the legacy template pack option in <strong>Settings &gt; BuddyPress</strong>.</p>
<h4>Support for WP-CLI</h4>
<p><a href="https://wp-cli.org/">WP-CLI</a> is the command-line interface for WordPress. You can update plugins, configure multisite installs, and much more, without using a web browser. With this version of BuddyPress, you can now manage your BuddyPress content from WP-CLI.</p>
<h4>Control site-wide notices from your dashboard</h4>
<p>Site Notices are a feature within the Private Messaging component that allows community managers to share important messages with all members of their community. With Nouveau, the management interface for Site Notices has been removed from the front-end theme templates.</p>
<p>Explore the new management interface at <strong>Users &gt; Site Notices</strong>.</p>
<h4>New profile field type: telephone numbers</h4>
<p>A new telephone number field type has been added to the Extended Profiles component, with support for all international number formats. With a modern web browser, your members can use this field type to touch-to-dial a number directly.</p>
<h4>BuddyPress: leaner, faster, stronger</h4>
<p>With every BuddyPress version, we strive to make performance improvements alongside new features and fixes; this version is no exception. Memory use has been optimised — within active components, we now only load each individual code file when it’s needed, not before.</p>
<p>Most notably, the <a href="https://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2017/12/07/legacy-forums-support-will-be/">Legacy Forums component has been removed</a> after 9 years of service. If your site was using Legacy Forums, you need to <a href="https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/guides/migrating-from-old-forums-to-bbpress-2/">migrate to the bbPress plugin</a>.</p>
<h4>Make mine Apollo&#8217;s</h4>
<p>In north-east London, Stoke Newington &#8212; or Stokey, as it&#8217;s affectionately known &#8212; is an area awash with newly-opening restaurants, amidst lapping waves of encroaching gentrification. Apollo&#8217;s is an authentically Neapolitan pizza place on the High Street, serving fantastically tasty yet uncomplicated pizzas. If you ever find yourself in north London, don&#8217;t miss Apollo&#8217;s!</p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Fri, 18 May 2018 00:23:37 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:10:"Paul Gibbs";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:2;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:13:"

Traditionally, <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/about/release-cycle/version-numbering/">minor versions</a> contain security and bug fixes. This release is different as it includes a number of privacy related features such as:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Privacy Policy page template/creation</li>
	<li>User Data Request Handling</li>
	<li>User Data Export and Removal tools</li>
	<li>Cookie Opt-in for Comments</li>
	<li>Other features related to <a href="https://www.eugdpr.org/">GDPR Compliance</a></li>
</ul>

<p>Earlier this month, I <a href="https://wptavern.com/wordpress-4-9-6-beta-1-adds-tools-for-gdpr-compliance">reviewed the privacy features</a> in 4.9.6 and since that post was published, the team has made a number of adjustments. For example, site admins will receive an email when a user confirms a personal data export or removal request and the text on the privacy policy template page has been simplified. <br /></p>

<p>The privacy features in WordPress 4.9.6 are largely the result of a <a href="https://wptavern.com/new-team-forms-to-facilitate-gdpr-compliance-in-wordpress-core">new team of volunteers</a> that was formed earlier this year. The team is already hard at work on improving these features for future versions of WordPress.</p>

<p>In addition to privacy enhancements, more than 50 bugs have been fixed. &#8216;Mine&#8217; has been added as a filter in the WordPress Media Library and when viewing a plugin in the backend, it will display the minimum PHP version that&#8217;s required.</p>

<p>The WordPress Development team has published an <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/05/17/4-9-6-update-guide/">update guide</a> that provides links to technical information related to features in 4.9.6. In addition, there&#8217;s a <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/05/17/changes-that-affect-theme-authors-in-wordpress-4-9-6/">guide available for Theme Authors</a> as styling adjustments may be necessary.</p>

<p>As this is a minor release, sites are in the process of updating automatically. If you encounter an issue with 4.9.6, please report it on the <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/">Support Forums</a>. <br /></p>

<img src="https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2018/05/GDPR-Banner.png?w=632&ssl=1" alt="A decorative header featuring the text " />

<h2>Privacy</h2>

<p>The European Union&#8217;s General Data Protection Regulation (<strong>GDPR</strong>) takes effect on May 25. The GDPR requires companies and site owners to be transparent about how they collect, use, and share personal data. It also gives individuals more access and choice when it comes to how their own personal data is collected, used, and shared.<br /></p>

<p>It’s important to understand that while the GDPR is a European regulation, its requirements apply to all sites and online businesses that collect, store, and process personal data about EU residents no matter where the business is located.<br /></p>

<p>You can learn more about the GDPR from the European Commission&#8217;s <a href="http://ec.europa.eu/justice/smedataprotect/index_en.htm">Data Protection page</a>.<br /></p>

<p>We&#8217;re committed to supporting site owners around the world in their work to comply with this important law. As part of that effort, we’ve added a number of new privacy features in this release.</p>

<h2>Comments</h2>

<img src="https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2018/05/comments-border.png?w=632&ssl=1" alt="A screenshot of a comment form, where the new " name="name" />

<p>Logged-out commenters will be given a choice on whether their name, email address, and website are saved in a cookie on their browser.</p>

<h2>Privacy Policy Page</h2>

<img src="https://i1.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2018/05/privacy-policy-collapsed.png?w=632&ssl=1" alt="A screenshot of the new Privacy Settings page." class="wp-image-5995" />

<p>Site owners can now designate a privacy policy page. This page will be shown on your login and registration pages. You should manually add a link to your policy to every page on your website. If you have a footer menu, that’s a great place to include your privacy policy.<br /></p>

<p>In addition, we’ve created a guide that includes insights from WordPress and participating plugins on how they handle personal data. These insights can be copied and pasted into your site&#8217;s privacy policy to help you get started.<br /></p>

<p>If you maintain a plugin that collects data, we recommend including that information in WordPress’ privacy policy guide. <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/privacy/">Learn more in our Privacy section of the Plugin Handbook</a>.</p>

<h2>Data Handling</h2>

<img src="https://i2.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2018/05/export-data.png?w=632&ssl=1" alt="A screenshot of the new Export Personal Data tools page. Several export requests are listed on the page, to demonstrate how the new feature will work." class="wp-image-5999" />

<div class="wp-block-columns has-2-columns">
		<h3 class="layout-column-1">Data Export</h3>
	
		<p class="layout-column-1">Site owners can export a ZIP file containing a user&#8217;s personal data, using data gathered by WordPress and participating plugins.</p>
	
		<h3 class="layout-column-2">Data Erasure</h3>
	
		<p class="layout-column-2">Site owners can erase a user&#8217;s personal data, including data collected by participating plugins.</p>
	</div>

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
	<p>Howdy,</p>
	<p>A request has been made to perform the following action on your account:<br /> </p>
	<p><strong>Export Personal Data</strong><br /> </p>

</blockquote>

<p>Site owners have a new email-based method that they can use to confirm personal data requests. This request confirmation tool works for both export and erasure requests, and for both registered users and commenters.</p>

<h2>Maintenance</h2>

<p>95 updates were made in WordPress 4.9.6. In addition to the above, particularly of note were:<br /></p>

Shady is really the kind of person I had in mind when I started HeroPress: talented and smart, but isolated. The WordPress community is relatively small in Cairo, given the number of people that live there. So he leans on the international community for the kinds of relationships others (who can just go to WordCamps whenever they want) might take for granted.</p>
<p>Shady&#8217;s essay came to me during a time of unrest in Egypt, yet he still got up every morning, took care of his family, and got work done. He&#8217;s one of my heroes for a number of reasons, as well as a good friend.</p>

An unused plugin is one that has been approved for the directory but no code was uploaded by the developer in six months or more.<br /></p>

<p>An unused plugin reserves a URL slug on WordPress.org and prevents others from using it. It also takes resources away from active plugins. In addition, if plugin authors are submitting multiple plugins without taking advantage of the resources WordPress.org offers, submissions from that author will be suspended.</p>

<p>WordPress.org provides plugin authors free hosting as a convenience and is not a listing service. Mika Epstein, a member of the plugin review team, says that some people have taken advantage of the submission process to receive a code audit, &#8220;We’ve found out some people like to get a review as a ‘free’ security review instead of hiring people for that work.&#8221;</p>

<p>To find out what happens when a plugin is closed and how to close a plugin you maintain, check out <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/plugin-developer-faq/#closed-plugins">this guide</a> in the Plugin Developer FAQ. Also, if you want to use a plugin name that&#8217;s currently held by a closed, unused plugin, you can <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/take-over-an-existing-plugin/">request to take over the slug</a> by contacting the review team.</p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Tue, 15 May 2018 21:17:22 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:13:"Jeff Chandler";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:7;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:13:"

Since the beta&#8217;s release, there have been 30 bugs fixed.</p>

<p>Many of the fixes in this release are focused on the new privacy tools that help with GDPR compliance. The verbiage has been changed in multiple areas to make explanations and actions clearer. For example, the Privacy Policy introduction text has been <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/43933">shortened and more user friendly</a>.</p>

<p>One notable bug fix is that site administrators now receive an email when a Personal Data Export/Removal request is confirmed. In a future version of WordPress, it&#8217;s possible that the <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/44000">notification bubbles</a> will be extended to display confirmed requests.</p>

This minor release needs more testing than usual due to the privacy tools and enhancements introduced.

And then, for all that I thought I knew him, his HeroPress essay shed an entirely new light on who he is.</p>
<p>I believe that what we know about people shapes how we view them. Now I know that Jeff plowed through some crazy, dangerous, harmful things in his young life and somehow still ended up a stable, intelligent, reliable adult. Many kids in that life don&#8217;t make it this far.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m proud of what the WordPress community has contributed to his life, and I&#8217;m grateful to Jeff for what he&#8217;s has contributed to this community.</p>

<p>The first <a href="https://2018-soltau.retreat.wordcamp.org/">WordCamp Retreat</a> was held this past weekend in Soltau, Germany and by all accounts, it was a very successful event. The following is a guest post by <a href="https://remkus.devries.frl/">Remkus de Vries</a> who recaps his experience attending the event.</p>

<p><a href="https://twitter.com/DeFries">Remkus</a> is from Fryslân, the Netherlands and is Manager Partnerships at <a href="https://yoast.com/">Yoast</a>. He’s been active in the WordPress Community since 2006 and co-founded WordCamp Netherlands and WordCamp Europe.</p>

<hr class="wp-block-separator" />

<p>As some of you know, I&#8217;ve been active in the WordPress Community for over a decade and in that time, I&#8217;ve attended many WordPress related events. From Meetups to WordCamps. I get so excited about WordCamps, I&#8217;ve even <a href="https://netherlands.wordcamp.org">co-founded</a> <a href="https://europe.wordcamp.org">a few.</a></p>

<p>However, in all those years, the format of a WordCamp has been relatively consistent. One or two days, multiple tracks and, in the last five years, a Contributor Day. Perhaps the biggest difference has been the city + location combination. WordCamp Europe started shaking this up with us opting for a rotating city and country principle (<a href="https://2018.europe.wordcamp.org">you should totally come to this year&#8217;s edition btw</a>), but the main format has relatively remained the same.</p>

<p>This past weekend, I attended a WordCamp with my colleagues from Yoast with quite a different format though. Yes, there were still presentations, different tracks, a Contributor Day, and an after party. So what was different about this one? The short answer: a lot.</p>

<p><a href="https://2018-soltau.retreat.wordcamp.org/">WordCamp Retreat in Soltau</a>, Germany was the first of its kind. One of the primary goals of WordCamps is to benefit the local community and <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=WCRetreat&src=typd">#WCRetreat</a> took a very different approach.<br /></p>

<p>Here are a couple of things that set it apart from a typical WordCamp:</p>

<ul>
	<li>The location was exclusive for the WordCamp attendees.</li>
	<li>Indoor and outdoor activities.</li>
	<li>Work on your personal development/strengths.</li>
	<li>Enjoy co-working under ideal conditions.</li>
	<li>Alternate between valuable input and relaxation.</li>
	<li>Benefit from previously unknown networking opportunities.</li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>Exclusive Location</strong></h2>

<p>Most of this was made possible by the location. <a href="http://www.hotel-park-soltau.de/index.php">Hotel Park Soltau</a> is located in the North of Germany surrounded by woods and heath. The hotel was reserved for WordCamp attendees only. Everyone stayed there, ate there, and networked there. It was an incredibly immersive experience on a different level than any of the other WordCamps I&#8217;ve attended.</p>

<h2><strong>Immersive Activities</strong></h2>

<p>In addition to the regular WordCamp presentations you might be familiar with, were non-tech related workshops and activities. From mindfulness, yoga, boot camps, to jam sessions and just playing sports outside (like football – not egg hand – and basketball). The goal being to interact with fellow attendees on a different level. And it worked. I saw much more networking and getting to know one another happening.</p>

<h2><strong>A Schedule Built Around Social Interaction﻿</strong></h2>

<p>The day started with some of the above-mentioned activities, then breakfast for all, followed by the first regular sessions. There was plenty of time between the sessions as well as morning, lunch and afternoon breaks that allowed for a lot of hallway tracks. Before the end of the afternoon, we switched back to other activities again like playing sports or jam sessions.</p>

<h2><strong>Contributor Day on Day 2 of 3</strong></h2>

<p>One of the things I enjoyed a lot is the fact that the Contributor Day was organized the second day of the three. This meant that everyone attending was kinda &#8216;locked into&#8217; attending the Contributor Day.  I&#8217;m not a big fan of forcing people to do anything, but this was a nice way of integrating the giving back part of a WordCamp.</p>

<h2>I Want to See More of These Types of WordCamps</h2>

<p>Sunday afternoon, as the attendees were getting ready to head home, you could see how much everyone had enjoyed these three immersive days. The relaxed schedule, the different approach to what came when,  the fact of us all sharing the same rooms for 72 hours, the activities before, between and after the presentations, they all made this concept an extremely pleasant and relaxed one.<br /></p>

<p>This first edition had about 180 attendees and all of their feedback will determine the fine tuning of what this WordCamp can be, but I&#8217;m very enthusiastic about this first edition.<br /></p>

<p>I hope to see this type of WordCamp happen a lot more. It adds value to the format as we know it.</p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Wed, 09 May 2018 06:38:19 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:13:"Jeff Chandler";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:11;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:13:"

It&#8217;s the first step in bringing <a href="https://www.eugdpr.org/">GDPR</a> (General Data Protection Regulation) tools to WordPress. In addition to 10 bugs being fixed, this release heavily focuses on privacy enhancements.</p>

<p>One of the first changes is the addition of a Privacy tab on the successful update screen. The message informs users that their sites may send data to WordPress.org for plugin and theme updates with a link to the WordPress.org privacy policy.</p>

<img />
	WordPress 4.9.6 Privacy Information


<h2>Privacy Policy Page Creation and Template<br /></h2>

<p>WordPress 4.9.6 includes the ability to create a Privacy Policy page from the backend. Simply browse to <strong>Settings > Privacy</strong> and select an existing page or create a new one where the policy will be displayed.</p>

<img />
	Privacy Policy Page Settings


<p>Privacy policy pages will likely become as ubiquitous as About Us pages thanks to the GDPR, but the information that&#8217;s displayed is unique to individual sites. WordPress helps out by providing a template with suggestions on what information to display.</p>

<img />
	Privacy Policy Template<br />


<h2>Personal Data Export and Removal Tools</h2>

<p>To comply with the GDPR, sites need to provide a way for users to obtain their personal data and request that it be removed. WordPress 4.9.6 does not give users a button to make these requests. Instead, a site&#8217;s privacy policy needs to  include information on where to send such requests.</p>

<p>Once a request for a data export or removal is received, site administrators or the Data Protection Officer can browse to <strong>Tools > Export Personal Data</strong> or <strong>Tools > Remove Personal Data</strong> and send that user a verification request.</p>

<img />
	Export Personal Data Verification UI


<img />
	Data Removal Request Verification UI


<p>When an admin enters a username or email address into the send request field, they&#8217;ll receive an email with a confirmation link. Once clicked, the site will display an Action Confirmed notice and that the site administrator has been notified and will fulfill the request as soon as possible.</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s what a confirmed notice looks like in the backend.</p>

<img />
	Confirmed Data Export Request


<p>One thing I noticed is that after a user confirms the request, the site administrator has <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/43967">no way of knowing</a> that they confirmed unless they visit the Data Export or Removal page. <br /></p>

<p>Perhaps a new notification bubble can be created, similar to pending comments and updates that takes admins to the appropriate place for confirmed requests.</p>

<p>When WordPress finishes creating the zip file, a link is sent to the user. For security purposes, the file will automatically be deleted after 72 hours. </p>

<img />
	My Personal Data Export


<p>To test this feature, I exported my personal data from WP Tavern. My data export arrived in a zip file as one Index.html file. This file contains my comments, user meta data, links to attachments, and more. The data provides me with an opportunity to see what data the site has and what would be deleted if I requested full data removal.</p>

<h2>Commenter Cookie Notification and Opt-in<br /></h2>

<p>Cookies save data so that visitors don&#8217;t have to fill in the Author, URL, and Email fields each time they want to leave a comment. In 4.9.6, visitors will be informed of this data storage and will need to check mark a box to opt-in.</p>

<img />
	Checkbox For Consenting to Data Storage


<p>WordPress 4.9.6 isn&#8217;t your typical minor release. It introduces new UI, options, and a bunch of privacy related enhancements. The development team is aiming to officially release 4.9.6 before GDPR goes into effect later this month, but these features need battle tested now, especially on multi-site configurations.</p>

<p>I encourage you to check out 4.9.6 on a staging site and go through the process of requesting, confirming, and obtaining user data. Now is a good time to experience what users will be going through. </p>

<p>First of all, I want to say thank you to HeroPress for reaching out and letting so many people share their stories. I am a follower of HeroPress and read new stories every week! A few months ago my cousin Chetan Prajapati published a WordPress story, and I was inspired by him to share my own and how it has changed my way of working.</p>
<p>I love WordPress because since childhood I am playing with WordPress. I was studying for a Diploma in Computer Engineering. For my last year I have an Industrial project and I was very confused about to how to create this project and how to choose the best framework and language so that after my college I can get a good job in IT.</p>
<p>At one point my cousin was working on WordPress so I am discuss with the my last year project then he says &#8220;You choose WordPress!&#8221; and he created an eCommerce project within 10 minutes and I was very shocked. I can&#8217;t believe he created within 10 minutes a finished Project. He says &#8220;I have installed WooCommerce and a simple theme&#8221;. Then I Love WordPress and I do more and more research in WordPress and develop knowledge in WordPress.</p>
<p>After completing my Diploma I got a job in a small company in Ahmedabad and am working as Junior WordPress Developer. Also I am attending Local Meetups and WordCamps.</p>
<p>Now I also teach a class every weekend on how to make a career in WordPress.</p>
<p>It was my first time speaking in Ahmedabad WooCommerce Local Meetup in a session on how to create and setup eCommerce with in 10 minutes.</p>

<p>સૌ પ્રથમ, હું તમને કહેવા માગું છું કે હિરોપર્સને પહોંચવા માટે અને ઘણા લોકોને તેમના વાર્તાઓ શેર કરવા માટે આભાર. હું હિરોપ્રેસનો અનુયાયી છું અને દર અઠવાડિયે નવી કથાઓ વાંચી સંભળાવું છું! થોડા મહિના પહેલાં મારા પિતરાઇ ભાઇ ચેતન પ્રજાપતિએ એક વાર્તાની વાર્તા લખી હતી, અને મારા દ્વારા તેનો પોતાનો ભાગ લેવા માટે પ્રેરણા મળી હતી અને તે કેવી રીતે કામ કરવાની રીત બદલ્યો છે.</p>
<p>હું WordPress સાથે રમવા માટે chilhood છું beacuse લવ. હું છેલ્લા વર્ષમાં ડિપ્લોમા ઇન કમ્પ્યુટર એન્જીનિયરિંગમાં અભ્યાસ કરતો હતો, મારી પાસે ઔદ્યોગિક પ્રોજેક્ટ છે, તેથી હું પ્રોજેક્ટમાં કેવી રીતે સર્જન કરું છું અને કેવી રીતે શ્રેષ્ઠ માળખા અને ભાષા પસંદ કરવી તે મારા કૉલેજ પછીથી હું આઇટીમાં શ્રેષ્ઠ કામ મેળવી શકું છું તે અંગે ભ્રમિત છું.</p>
<p>એક મારા પિતરાઈ ભાઈ WordPress પર કામ કરી રહ્યા છે, તેથી હું મારા છેલ્લા વર્ષ પ્રોજેક્ટ અંગે ચર્ચા કરી રહ્યો છું પછી તે કહે છે કે તમે WordPress પસંદ કરો છો અને તે 10 મિનિટમાં ઈકોમર્સ પ્રોજેક્ટ બનાવશે અને હું ખૂબ જ વ્યસ્ત છું. હું તે સાથે તૈયાર કરી શકતો નથી, તે 10 મિનિટમાં પૂર્ણ થયેલ પ્રોજેક્ટમાં તે કહે છે કે મેં WooCommerce અને સરળ થીમ ઇન્સ્ટોલ કરી છે. પછી હું WordPress લવ અને હું WordPress માં વધુ અને વધુ સંશોધન છું અને WordPress માં જ્ઞાન વિકાસ.</p>
<p>દરેક અઠવાડિયે મારા સત્ર પર WordPress સાથે કારકિર્દી કેવી રીતે શરૂ કરવી તે મારા સત્ર પર.</p>
<p>મારી ડિપ્લોમા પૂરો કર્યા પછી મને અમદાવાદમાં નાની કંપનીમાં નોકરી મળી અને જુનિયર વર્ડપ્રેસ ડેવલપર તરીકે કામ કર્યું. પછી હું સ્થાનિક મીટઅપ અને વર્ડકેમ્પમાં હાજરી કરું છું. સત્રમાં અમદાવાદ વુકોમર્સ સ્થાનિક મેટઅપમાં મારો પ્રથમ વાર સ્પીકર હતો અને 10 મિનિટમાં ઈકોમર્સ કેવી રીતે બનાવવું અને કેવી રીતે સેટઅપ કરવું તે વિશે.</p>

<h2>The WordPress 15th Anniversary is Coming</h2>

<p>On May 27 2018, <a href="https://wordpress.org/news/2018/04/celebrate-the-wordpress-15th-anniversary-on-may-27/">WordPress will turn 15 years old</a> — this is a huge milestone for the project, or, indeed, for any open-source platform. The Community Team has been hard at work helping communities around the world plan local anniversary parties.</p>

<p>Check <a href="https://wp15.wordpress.net/">the central anniversary website</a> to see if there’s already a party being planned near you. These parties are all organized by local communities — if there’s no local community in your area, you can <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/community/handbook/meetup-organizer/welcome/#starting-a-new-meetup-com-group">start one today</a> and host a party yourself.</p>

<h2>Work has Started on a Gutenberg Migration Guide</h2>

<p>With Gutenberg, the upcoming WordPress content editor, in rapid development, a lot of people have been wondering how they will convert their existing plugins to work with the new features. To mitigate the issues here and help people overcome any migration hurdles, <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/04/26/your-help-wanted-gutenberg-migration-guide/">a Gutenberg Migration Guide is underway</a> to assist developers with making their code Gutenberg-compatible.</p>

<p>If you’d like to contribute to this guide, you can review <a href="https://github.com/danielbachhuber/gutenberg-migration-guide">the existing documentation on GitHub</a> and <a href="https://github.com/danielbachhuber/gutenberg-migration-guide/issues">open a new issue</a> if you find something to add.</p>

<h2>Theme Review Team Launches Trusted Authors Program</h2>

<p>Reviews of themes submitted to the Theme Directory can take quite a while to complete. In order to combat this issue and to make the theme submission process smoother for everyone, <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/themes/2018/04/30/trusted-authors-program/">the Theme Review Team is introducing a Trusted Authors Program</a>.</p>

<p>This program will allow frequent and reliable theme authors to apply for trusted status, allowing them to upload themes more frequently and to have their themes automatically approved. This will allow more high-quality themes to be added to the directory, as well as recognize the hard work that authors put in to build their themes.</p>

<p>If you would like to get involved with reviewing themes, you can read <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/get-involved/become-a-reviewer/">their getting started guide</a>, follow the <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/themes/">team blog</a> and join the #themereview channel in the <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/chat/">Making WordPress Slack group</a>.</p>

<p>The program is for authors who consistently submit themes that follow the <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/review/required/">WordPress theme review guidelines</a> and have three or fewer issues in multiple areas. Applications and approvals will be handled by team leaders only.</p>

<p>To apply for the program, theme authors need to select a ticket for the team to take into consideration and submit it as a comment on the <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/themes/2018/04/30/trusted-authors-program/">announcement post</a>. This can either be a recently approved theme or a ticket in the new or final queue.</p>

<p>In addition to following the guidelines, the theme must meet the following conditions.</p>

<ol>
    <li>Escaping/Sanitization with a maximum of three issues.</li>
    <li>Needs to be 100% GPL with a maximum of three issues. This includes all of your products on your site or third-party sites.<br /></li>
    <li>Can not create content and demo content must be used correctly.  <br /></li>
    <li>The theme must not contain any PHP or JavaScript errors, plugin territory functionality, correct use of prefixing, enqueue, translations, and advertising. <br /></li>
</ol>

<p>Theme authors can submit a theme for review once every two weeks, must have at least one approved theme in the directory, and can not apply using a child theme. The privilege is non-transferable and themes that are approved can only be transferred to other accounts after six months.</p>

<p>As with any program, there are consequences for breaking the rules. The announcement notes that the team will not take into consideration active installs counts, how old a theme is or a theme author&#8217;s financial distress and that suspensions will be given without hesitation.</p>

<p>The team has already demonstrated their ability to enforce this thought process. Last year, <a href="https://wptavern.com/zerif-lite-returns-to-wordpress-org-after-5-month-suspension-and-63-decline-in-revenue">Zerif Light was suspended</a> from the directory for five months, affecting 300K users and costing its parent company, ThemeIsle, $75k/month in lost revenue.</p>

<p>If you have any questions or concerns about the program, you can contact any of the <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/about/members/#team-repsleads">team leads</a> on Slack. </p>

<p>With the endless options of data complexity that’s historically possible with meta fields, the way these features are implemented into new projects has to be well thought out. There is continued activity with both the REST API and Gutenberg to make sure meta is well supported. There are several things that are worth knowing, if you are a consultant or a product maker in regard to working with WordPress meta.</p>

Hinted at during <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGS-tKTXw4Y">AMP Conf 2018</a> earlier this year, 0.7 is a major release that contains significant new features.</p>

<p>This release adds Native AMP support for all of the default widgets, embeds, and commenting. Notifications will be triggered for posts that contain content with validation errors or if you use a theme or plugin that adds invalid AMP markup.</p>

<p>While earlier versions of AMP displayed content in a way that was different from a site&#8217;s theme, 0.7 creates a native experience. For example, if you visit the <a href="https://ampdemo.xwp.io/">AMP Conf WordPress Theme Demo site</a> on an iPhone 7, the site looks exactly the same. As you can see in the image below, you can&#8217;t tell it&#8217;s running AMP. <br /></p>

<p>Before 0.7 is officially released, the development team is asking for users to put 0.7 RC 1 through its paces and <a href="https://github.com/Automattic/amp-wp/issues">report issues</a> on the project&#8217;s GitHub page.

To be really excellent at something and then switch to something else altogether is fascinating to see. Very often those people bubble to the top of whatever career they venture into.</p>
<p>This week&#8217;s HeroPress replay is titled &#8220;<a href="https://heropress.com/essays/moving-on-from-moving-on-stage/">Moving On From Moving On Stage</a>&#8221; by Karin Taliga. Karin is a dancer, and has had a rich and full career in that field. But the web called to her. Like the siren&#8217;s song, always keening &#8220;Come play here, it&#8217;s wonderful!&#8221;</p>
<p>When someone recommended I contact Karin 2 years ago she was winding up her dancing career and moving into a full time career as a web developer. The whole concept of a second career sounds exciting. I&#8217;ve always thought of &#8220;career&#8221; as something you do your whole life. But Karin has more adult life ahead of her than behind her, and I&#8217;m super excited to see where she goes with it.</p>
<p>Check out Karin&#8217;s original post from May of 2016.</p>

Let&#8217;s find out.</p>

<h2>Quick Edits Turn Into Lengthy, Frustrating Fixes<br /></h2>

<p>For testing purposes, I used a simple scenario that many users may run into. I&#8217;ve written and published a post in Gutenberg using paragraph, unordered lists, and image blocks. I then used the WordPress for iOS mobile app to access the post, correct a typo, and save it. The goal is to see if content is affected by saving it in a different editor.<br /></p>

<p>Here is what the content looks like written and published in Gutenberg.</p>

<img />
    Content Written and Published in Gutenberg


<p>Here is what the post looks like in the iOS app. It displays what appears to be Comment shortcodes at the beginning of each paragraph.<br /></p>

<img />
    Gutenberg Content in WordPress for Ios


<p>After correcting a typo and saving the changes, this is what happened to the post. As you can see, what was supposed to be a quick fix has turned into a lengthy process of fixing the entire article in Gutenberg.</p>

<img />
    Content Written in Gutenberg After Editing in the WordPress for iOS App


<p>All of the content runs together as one giant block. To say that this is frustrating is an understatement, especially if you&#8217;re on the road and don&#8217;t have access to a desktop or tablet that can load the WordPress backend.  <br /></p>

<p>Here is what the content looks like in Gutenberg after saving the edits in the iOS app. There are large gaps and a few of the blocks have warnings stating that they appear to have been modified externally.</p>

    Content in Gutenberg After It Was Edited in the WordPress for iOS App


<p>Clicking the convert to block buttons turns the messages into blocks but it doesn&#8217;t return the formatting and in some cases, content goes missing. Before editing in the iOS app, this block contained a quote with a citation. Now it&#8217;s empty. <br /></p>

    Quote Block Is Missing Content


<p>WordPress has post revisions so I was able to quickly restore the breaking changes introduced by the iOS app. But this user experience between Gutenberg and the WordPress for iOS app is a great example of how something so simple can easily turn into a perceived disaster by users and ultimately, tarnish the new editor&#8217;s reputation.</p>

<p>Searching the Gutenberg repository on Github for iOS <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+ios">produces some results</a>, but none refer to the compatibility issues I experienced. </p>

<p>I found out the hard way and will not be making any more changes to posts written in Gutenberg in the iOS app until compatibility between both editors exists. I recommend you don&#8217;t as well unless you want to fix a lot more than a typo. <br /></p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Tue, 24 Apr 2018 23:33:56 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:13:"Jeff Chandler";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:28;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:13:"

    Editing Permalinks in Gutenberg 2.7


<p>A new pagination block is available that adds a page break, allowing users to break posts into multiple pages. The block is located in the <strong>Blocks &#8211; Layout Elements</strong> section.</p>

<p>There are a number of changes to the link insertion interface. Gutenberg 2.7 brings back the option to have links open in the same window.<br /></p>

<img />
    Toggle Determines Whether Links Open in a New Window


<p>When editing linked text, the Unlink icon now stays in the toolbar instead of displaying within the link options modal. When adding links, there&#8217;s a URL suggestion tool similar to what&#8217;s available in WordPress&#8217; current editor.</p>

<p>What will be welcomed news to plugin developers, the <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/6031">PluginSidebar API</a> is ﻿exposed and considered final. According to the pull request, this change does the following.</p>

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
    <p>Refactors all the existing Sidebar components to share the same set components and removes duplicated custom CSS styles applied to <code>&lt;PluginSidebar /></code>. There are no changes to the public API of <code>&lt;PublicSidebar /></code> component, other than it is going to be available under <code>wp.editPost.PluginSidebar</code>.</p><cite>Grzegorz Ziółkowski<br /></cite></blockquote>

BuddyPress 3.0 is a major release that contains some significant changes. A new template pack called Nouveau will replace the bp-legacy template packs introduced in BuddyPress 1.7.</p>

<p>The new template pack has been refactored to be semantic, accessible, and use a new set of markup files. Loops, members, and activity areas now run under Backbone to provide a smoother experience. JavaScript has been rewritten to be more modular and have better structure. <br /></p>

    BuddyPress 3.0 Customizer Options


<p>BuddyPress 3.0 utilizes the Customizer by providing options to manipulate the Nouveau template pack or the site itself. For example, you can modify a user&#8217;s navigation options from the frontend. There&#8217;s also an option to adjust the number of columns for the Members loop. </p>

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

<p>BuddyPress 3.0 will be a major milestone release for us and one we&#8217;re all really excited about, it&#8217;s been a long time coming but finally we are close to releasing the first template pack for BP, this is a completely new &#8216;theme&#8217; or set of template files and functionality designed to replace bp-legacy which has served us so well since it&#8217;s inception way back in the  major release of 1.7 where we introduced &#8216;Theme Compatibility&#8217;, and we&#8217;re all really eager for any feedback during these beta phases you may grab a copy of our beta1 release <a href="https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress.3.0.0-beta1.zip">here</a> to test with.</p>
<p>Nouveau &#8211; as our new template pack has been named &#8211; provides an all new clean set of markup files, refactored from the ground up to be semantic and accessible. Styles are re-written and provided as Sass partials for developers if wanting to build out new packs. A lot of core functionality for components has been re-written and re-located to be sourced from include files by component in the template directory which allows even easier access to modify functions by overloading to a new theme or child theme. Our major loops, members, activity etc have been re-factored to run under Backbone for a smooth Ajax experience and indeed all the Javascript functionality is re-written to be far more modular than it was before and has a far better modern feel to it&#8217;s structuring.</p>
<p>For the first time we have brought in the Customizer to provide user option choices and a range of layout configurations may be selected. In our initial offering we have provided various layout options for the main BP navigation elements  allowing for vertical navs or horizontal, tab effect where suitable. for the component loops such as members, Groups we provide an option to display in a grid layout &amp; at row quantity options or simply as a flat classic list layout.</p>
<p>While we are really excited about Nouveau 3.0 also has many other improvements to offer and you can <a href="https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&milestone=3.0&col=id&col=summary&col=status&col=milestone&col=owner&col=type&col=priority&order=priority">view a list of all closed tickets for 3.0</a></p>
<p>As always your feedback and testing is an invaluable part of our releases, helping us to catch any last minute bugs.<br />
You can download the beta release for testing at <a href="https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress.3.0.0-beta1.zip">downloads.wordpress.org</a> and install on a local copy of WordPress ( please remember this is a beta release and should not be run on an active production site). Any issues found can be reported on our Trac by creating a <a href="https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket">new ticket</a></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a developer comfortable with SVN you might like to checkout a development copy which you can do <a href="https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk">from this link</a> patches can be submitted to existing tickets or issues found reported on a new ticket.</p>

<ul>
    <li>Implying that a plugin can create, provide, automate, or guarantee legal compliance</li>
</ul>

<p>Mika Epstein, a member of the WordPress.org plugin review team, <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/plugins/2018/04/12/legal-compliance-added-to-guidelines/">says</a> the change was made because plugins by themselves can not provide legal compliance. <br /></p>

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
    <p>Sadly, no plugin in and of itself can provide legal compliance. While a plugin can certainly <em>assist</em> in automating the steps on a compliance journey, or allow you to develop a workflow to solve the situation, they cannot protect a site administrator from mistakes or lack of compliance, nor can they protect site users from incorrect or incomplete legal compliance on the part of the web site.</p><cite>Mika Epstein</cite></blockquote>

<p>Since sites can have any combination of WordPress plugins and themes activated, it&#8217;s nearly impossible for a single plugin to make sure they&#8217;re 100% legally compliant.</p>

<p>Plugin developers affected by this change will be contacted by the review team and be asked to change their titles, descriptions, plugin header images, and or the text within the readme.</p>

<p>Instead of claiming compliance, the team has published a <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/compliance-disclaimers/">frequently asked questions</a> document that recommends plugin authors explain how the plugin will assist in compliance. If you have any questions, please leave a comment on the <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/plugins/2018/04/12/legal-compliance-added-to-guidelines/">announcement post</a>. </p>

<p><span>In this episode, the two Brians discuss the current conversations and controversy surrounding data collection and visitor privacy on the web. The duo dig in to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and what it means for you both as site visitors and site owners and, in particular, how WordPress core and plugin authors are (or should be) responding to the new regulation. It’s a pretty deep topic with many implications and ramifications. Be sure to follow the episode links, too, so that you can be best informed and prepared for when GDPR goes into effect on May 25, 2018.</span></p>

The GDPR Compliance team is looking for help to test the privacy tools that are currently being developed in core. </p>

<h2>What is GDPR?</h2>

<p>GDPR stands for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation">General Data Protection Regulation</a> and is intended to strengthen and unify data protection for all individuals within the European Union. Its primary aim is to give control back to the EU residents over their personal data. <br /></p>

<p>Why the urgency? Although the GDPR was introduced two years ago, it becomes  enforceable starting May 25, 2018.</p>

<h2>Make WordPress GDPR Compliance Team</h2>

<p>Currently, the GDPR Compliance Team understands that helping WordPress-based sites become compliant is a large and ongoing task. The team is focusing on creating a comprehensive core policy, plugin guidelines, privacy tools and documentation. All of this requires your help.<br /></p>

<p>The GDPR Compliance Team is focusing on four main areas:</p>

<ul>
    <li>Add functionality to assist site owners in creating comprehensive privacy policies for their websites.</li>
    <li>Create guidelines for plugins to become GDPR ready.</li>
    <li>Add administration tools to facilitate compliance and encourage user privacy in general.</li>
    <li>Add documentation to educate site owners on privacy, the main GDPR compliance requirements, and on how to use the new privacy tools.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Don’t we already have a privacy policy?</h2>

<p>Yes and no. That said, The GDPR puts tighter guidelines and restrictions. Though we have many plugins that create privacy pages, we need means to generate a unified, comprehensive privacy policy. We will need tools for users to easily come into compliance.<br /></p>

<p>Site owners will be able to create GDPR compliant privacy policy in three steps:</p>

<ol>
    <li>Adding a dedicated page for the policy.<br /></li>
    <li>Adding privacy information from plugins.</li>
    <li>Reviewing and publishing the policy.</li>
</ol>

<p>A new &#8220;postbox&#8221; will be added to the Edit Page screen when editing the policy. All plugins that collect or store user data will be able to add privacy information there. In addition it will alert the site owners when any privacy information changes after a plugin is activated, deactivated, or updated.<br /></p>

<p>There is a new functionality to confirm user requests by email address. It is intended for site owners to be able to verify requests from users for displaying, downloading, or anonymizing of personal data.<br /></p>

<p>A new &#8220;Privacy&#8221; page is added under the &#8220;Tools&#8221; menu. It will display new, confirmed requests from users, as well as already fulfilled requests. It will also contain the tools for exporting and anonymizing of personal data and for requesting email confirmation to avoid abuse attempts.<br /></p>

<p>New section on privacy will be added to the <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/">Plugin Handbook</a>. It will contain some general information on user privacy, what a plugin should do to be compliant, and also tips and examples on how to use the new privacy related functionality in WordPress.<br /></p>

<p>The new privacy tools are scheduled for release at the end of April or beginning of May 2018.</p>

<h2>How can you get involved?</h2>

<p>We would love to have your help. The first step is awareness and education. For more information about the upcoming privacy tools see ﻿<a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/03/28/roadmap-tools-for-gdpr-compliance/">the roadmap</a>.</p>

<p>Yet he and I both managed to find the web, dive in, and find home. We support our families and find joy in the work we produce. I&#8217;m not sure there&#8217;s a better way to live than that.</p>

<ul>
    <li>Licensing</li>
    <li>Malicious or egregious stuff</li>
    <li>Content Creation</li>
    <li>Security</li>

<p>Although the bar to pass a theme is significantly lower, theme authors are still expected to follow the <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/review/required/">required</a> and <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/review/recommended/">recommended</a> requirements listed in the theme handbook.</p>

<p>Moderators will check themes after they&#8217;ve gone live to make sure the author is following guidelines. If a moderator discovers any issues, a request will be made to the theme author to correct them. Failure to do so could lead to a temporary or permanent suspension.</p>

<p>In the past two years, The Theme Review Team has battled the theme review queue with moderate success. <a href="https://wptavern.com/wordpress-theme-review-team-making-progress-on-clearing-out-1000-review-backlog">In early 2017</a>, the number of themes in the queue dropped below 200. Although there has been some work on automating the process, it&#8217;s largely reliant on humans.</p>

<p>Even though it hasn&#8217;t been updated in more than a year, theme authors are highly encouraged to use the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-check/">Theme Check plugin</a> before submitting themes for review.</p>

<p>With a simplified process to get a theme live, reviewers are hoping it will free them up to focus on larger projects.</p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Tue, 10 Apr 2018 23:45:23 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:13:"Jeff Chandler";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:43;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:13:"

In addition to using up and down arrows, this version introduces the ability to sort blocks by <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/6041">dragging and dropping</a>.</p>

<p>If you hover the cursor over the up and down arrows on the left side of a block, you&#8217;ll see a hand icon. Simply click, hold, and drag the block up or down below or above the blue indicator.</p>


    


<p>In my limited testing, I found drag and drop to be hit or miss. Sometimes, when I try to drag and drop a block, the blue line doesn&#8217;t show up.</p>

<p>The hand icon for the cursor is different for the top and bottom of the block. You can drag a block by hovering over the bottom of it but you can&#8217;t do it from the top.</p>

<img />
    Hovering the cursor at the top of the block


<img />
    Hovering the cursor at the bottom of the block


<p>I also found it difficult to add a new block manually. For example, when I add a paragraph block, I don&#8217;t see the Plus icon to create a new block underneath it anymore.</p>

Riad Benguella <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/5902">figured out</a> why meta boxes were not collapsing or expanding.</p>

<p>It turns out that some meta boxes depend on the post script which has a side effect of calling the window.postboxes.add_postbox_toggles( postType ) twice, causing meta boxes to break.</p>

<p>Gutenberg 2.6 <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/04/05/whats-new-in-gutenberg-5th-april/">released earlier this week</a>, fixes the issue and all meta boxes function properly again. This also fixes the issue I had with the Telegram for WordPress plugin. <br /></p>

<p><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/public-post-preview/">Public Post Preview</a> still doesn&#8217;t work in Gutenberg but the plugin&#8217;s developer, Dominik Schilling, shared some experiments he has conducted with adding support for Gutenberg on Twitter.</p>


    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Can't wait for seeing Gutenberg in WordPress core. So many new possibilities. Even for Public Post Preview (<a href="https://t.co/Xsw9hugxKT">https://t.co/Xsw9hugxKT</a>). With just a few lines I was able to create this: <a href="https://t.co/fxyuBIMPOl">pic.twitter.com/fxyuBIMPOl</a></p>&mdash; Dominik Schilling <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/2.4/72x72/1f30a.png" alt="?" class="wp-smiley" /> (@ocean90) <a href="https://twitter.com/ocean90/status/980420608822562816?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 1, 2018</a></blockquote>


<p>In the preview video, you can see Public Post Preview&#8217;s options added to the sidebar and in addition to generating a link, you can choose when that URL expires which is better than what&#8217;s currently available in the plugin.</p>

<p>I mentioned how Tags would sometimes disappear and there overall behavior was inconsistent. This <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/5913">pull request </a>that made it into Gutenberg 2.6, fixes the issue by only including the term in the Tag selector if it&#8217;s known.</p>

<p>Although I&#8217;m still bummed that certain plugins are not yet compatible with Gutenberg, I&#8217;m pretty happy that two of the major pain points I experienced have been fixed. Thanks to Riad, Tammie Lister, and others for helping to solve these problems so quickly. </p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Fri, 06 Apr 2018 21:29:35 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:13:"Jeff Chandler";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:46;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:13:"

After fleshing out the details and discussing the idea over the course of seven months, the duo <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/community/2018/04/03/want-to-help-organize-a-wordcamp-for-organizers/">has announced</a> that a WordCamp for Organizers is officially on the table.</p>

<p>The goal of the event is to provide an opportunity for meetup and WordPress event organizers to share their experience with others in the community. The plan is to host a one-day event a day or two before <a href="https://2018.us.wordcamp.org/">WordCamp US</a> in Nashville, TN, later this year.</p>

<p>&#8220;The idea for WordCamp for Organizers – what some of us affectionately refer to as &#8216;dotOrganize&#8217; – was really borne out of many conversations I’ve had over the years with others in the WordPress community lamenting the lack of a ready knowledge sharing opportunity between event organizers,&#8221; Jaynes said.</p>

<p>&#8220;One common thread seemed to be the idea of common lessons learned, and how awesome it would be to just have an event for organizers to get together and swap tips and tricks. </p>

<p>&#8220;We’re all here organizing the same community, maybe we should get together and trade notes! And so we now have a new topic-based WordCamp just for organizers. </p>

<p>&#8220;It’s kind of meta – organizing a WordCamp for Organizers, but I really feel like this could be a boon for anybody currently organizing or looking to start organizing in WordPress. Exciting!&#8221;</p>

<p>Some of the session topics that could be presented on include:</p>

<ul>
    <li>Spreading the word about your community events</li>
    <li>Tips for wrangling speakers, volunteers, and sponsors</li>
    <li>Conflict resolution among organizing teams</li>
    <li>How to respond to a code of conduct issue</li>
    <li>Finding and using official organizing tools and resources<br /></li>
</ul>

<p>The team is seeking volunteers who can spend 2-4 hours per week to help organize the event. Although it&#8217;s focused on organizers, those who have attended many conferences, including WordCamps, with little event organizing experience, are encouraged to join the team.</p>

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