Reflections on My 2 Weeks Writing for The Tavern

As my 2 weeks as a guest writer at The Tavern wind down, I thought y’all might be curious to hear some of my reflections on the experience. As James wrote, bringing 7 writers in for 2-week stints is kind of like The Hunger Games – many go in, two get the job.   That “Hunger Games” analogy seems to have stuck – many of the people I conversed with for stories over the past two weeks asked me a variation of the, “How is The Hunger Games treating you?” question. The truth is that every interaction I’ve had with one of my fellow writers has been a combination of productive, nice, charming ..read more

The WordPress Training Team’s Big Changes: Learning Pathways and Website Redesign
WordPress Tavern | Wordpress Dev Blog
by Brian Coords
2w ago
Knowledge and training for WordPress has traditionally been very decentralized. There’s the official documentation, the developer documentation, the support forums, WordPress.tv, and then the wide array of community blogs, tutorials, and YouTube videos. Resources like documentation and support forums exist to answer questions and explain features, but their purpose is not to teach a person what it means to use WordPress. That’s the goal of Learn WordPress, managed by the WordPress Training team and living at the easy-to-remember URL learn.wordpress.org.  Learn WordPress has existed in som ..read more

Automattic Doubles Down on the Developer Community

There’s something in the water at Automattic, and I don’t think it just started with Matt Mullenweg’s “samattical“. The last few months have seen a number of interesting changes across the company and its approach to the broader WordPress community. When I pull the various threads, it looks to me like Automattic is making a larger strategic pivot towards “developers” and “builders” as a target audience, for itself and quite possibly for WordPress. Automattic’s products have traditionally focused on the DIY side of the WordPress market, making tools for bloggers or creators building their own w ..read more

As the WordPress 6.5 release date is just around the corner, contributors have been racing to complete work on a few outstanding issues and bug fixes.

WordPress Developer Docs Shows Off a New Block-Based Redesign
WordPress Tavern | Wordpress Dev Blog
by Brian Coords
3w ago
Over the years, WordPress’s developer documentation, originally the Codex but now the WordPress Code Reference, has served the project well. However, there’s been a sense in the community that much of the more recent documentation- for example, the JavaScript APIs and packages coming out of Gutenberg- has been inconsistent and harder to read and understand. Developers often find themselves navigating disconnected designs and organization throughout the various docs, guides, and handbooks for topics that might cover anything from the Shortcodes API to WP-CLI. This past December, WordPress.org’s ..read more
