Hackers find vulnerabilities on your site and use them to steal information and misuse your website.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s worse is that if you don&#8217;t fix it immediately, these hacks could lead to more severe damage &#8211; the kind that&#8217;s really hard to recover from.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can prevent these hacks by <a href=\"https://www.isitwp.com/refer/sucuri/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" title=\"Sucuri\">installing a firewall on your WordPress site</a>. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your website is already under attack, we&#8217;ll show you how to fix it right away in simple beginner-friendly language. We&#8217;ll keep cybersecurity jargon to the bare minimum in this tutorial. We&#8217;ll also show you how to prevent future attacks.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, let&#8217;s quickly understand what happens in an XSS attack so that you&#8217;ll be better equipped to handle it. </p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What is an XSS Attack in WordPress?</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>XSS stands for Cross Site Scripting which is a kind of injection attack where hackers inject malicious scripts into a website.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>These scripts are disguised as good code on a trusted website. Next, when a user lands on this website, their browser executes all the code, including the malicious script, because it thinks it&#8217;s all trusted instructions. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>In simpler terms, imagine you&#8217;re a spy and you&#8217;ve just received an official email from the government about a top-secret mission. It contains all the instructions you need to follow down to the T. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you don&#8217;t know is that someone intercepted that email and added a few more instructions of their own. The government has no clue about it and you don&#8217;t bother to double check because you trust the source. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of it doesn&#8217;t make sense but you&#8217;re trained to obey every order to achieve your mission. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this scenario, the government is your website, and the spy is the user&#8217;s browser. The browser follows the instructions from your website and can&#8217;t differentiate between the good and bad scripts.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>These scripts are usually in Javascript, one of the most popular and widely-used programming languages. Although, these attacks can take place using any client-side language.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now there are many ways to carry out an XSS attack. One way is to send a link to unsuspecting users to get them to click on it. Once they click on it, the attack can possibly do one or more of the following:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Redirect users to a malicious site</li><li>Capture the user&#8217;s keystrokes</li><li>Run web browser-based exploits</li><li>Steal cookie information of the user logged into an account</li></ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If the hacker is able to steal cookie information, they can completely compromise the user&#8217;s account. For instance, if you&#8217;re logged into your website&#8217;s wp-admin panel, the hacker can steal your credentials and log into your site.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you need to do to prevent these attacks is to make sure all user data is validated and sanitized properly before it enters your website. That way, no user input can be malicious Javascript code. Added to that, you need to make sure there are no XSS vulnerabilities on your site that can allow a hacker to attack. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve barely scratched the surface of XSS attacks but we hope you have a decent understanding of how a WordPress XSS attack works. Now if you suspect your site is hacked, follow our easy step-by-step tutorial below. </p>\n\n\n\n<h3>How to Find and Fix an XSS Attack in WordPress</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To find any kind of malware or hacks on your site, you&#8217;ll need to run a deep scan on your entire website including its files and database.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll be using <a href=\"https://www.isitwp.com/refer/sucuri/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" title=\"Sucuri\">Sucuri</a> to scan and clean up your hacked site.

Then, log in to the Sucuri dashboard where you can add your site.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"178\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/sucuri-add-site.png\" alt=\"Add site in Sucuri\" class=\"wp-image-254209\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/sucuri-add-site.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/sucuri-add-site-300x69.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/sucuri-add-site-768x176.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, you&#8217;ll need to connect your website by entering your FTP credentials. If you don&#8217;t know your FTP credentials, you can get them from your web host.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"503\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/connect-site-to-sucuri.png\" alt=\"Connect site to Sucuri\" class=\"wp-image-254210\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/connect-site-to-sucuri.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/connect-site-to-sucuri-300x195.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/connect-site-to-sucuri-768x498.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When your site is connected, Sucuri will automatically run a thorough scan of your website. Once done, it will show you a detailed report under the <strong>&#8216;My Sites&#8217;</strong> tab. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"589\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/sucuri-dashboard-site-infected.png\" alt=\"Sucuri dashboard site infected\" class=\"wp-image-254211\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/sucuri-dashboard-site-infected.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/sucuri-dashboard-site-infected-300x228.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/sucuri-dashboard-site-infected-768x584.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you can click on the <strong>&#8216;Details&#8217; </strong>button next to the warning message. This will open up the <strong>Monitoring</strong> page where you can view the details of the hack or infection.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Step 2: Requesting a Malware Cleanup</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On the <strong>Monitoring </strong>page, you can see what kind of malware has infected your site. Sucuri adds a rating to indicate the risk level. So if it&#8217;s a critical or high risk, you know that you need to fix it right away.

Once done, Sucuri&#8217;s security experts will clean up your site for you. In case you don&#8217;t know any of the details you need for the form, you can ask your web host for them.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you may be wondering how long would it take to get your site cleaned.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sucuri gives first preference to users on the Business plan. They assure a turnaround time of 6 hours. For other plans, it depends on how complex your site&#8217;s infection is and the volume of requests they have in queue.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Immediately after an attack, we strongly recommend logging all users out of your site and changing your login credentials to be on the safe side.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>How to Prevent XSS Attacks on Your WordPress Site</strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s always best to protect your website and prevent these kinds of malware attacks on your site. It&#8217;s much easier and cheaper than trying to fix a hacked website. Here are our top recommended steps to prevent XSS attacks on your site.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3>1. Enable a Web Application Firewall (WAF)</h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a data-nojs=\"true\" href=\"https://www.isitwp.com/refer/sucuri/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sucuri</a> has one of the best firewalls for WordPress sites. It not only blocks XSS attacks but all sorts of other malware attacks like DDoS, Brute Force, Phishing, and SQL injections.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The firewall will sit in front of your website and scan every user coming through. It will identify and block bad bots before they reach your site.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>To enable the Sucuri firewall, navigate to the <strong>Firewall</strong> tab on your Sucuri dashboard.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Select your site, and you&#8217;ll see setup instructions that you can follow. Sucuri gives you 2 options to set up the firewall:</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Automatic Integration: </strong>Simply enter your hosting credentials using cPanel or Plesk. This method requires you to give Sucuri access to your website&#8217;s server to automatically set up the firewall on your site.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"462\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/sucuri-firewall-waf.png\" alt=\"Sucuri firewall waf\" class=\"wp-image-254284\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/sucuri-firewall-waf.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/sucuri-firewall-waf-300x179.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/sucuri-firewall-waf-768x458.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Manual Integration: </strong>You can set up the firewall on your own without granting internal access to Sucuri. To get started, click on the internal domain link and make sure that it loads.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"318\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/check-internal-domain-link.png\" alt=\"check internal domain link\" class=\"wp-image-254335\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/check-internal-domain-link.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/check-internal-domain-link-300x123.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/check-internal-domain-link-768x315.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you can configure your DNS to point your web traffic at the Sucuri firewall. For this, you&#8217;ll need to access the DNS records in your hosting account. Here, you can change the<strong> &#8216;A&#8217; record</strong> of your site and enter the IP addresses that Sucuri provides.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"452\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/sucuri-dns-ip-addresses.png\" alt=\"sucuri dns ip addresses\" class=\"wp-image-254334\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/sucuri-dns-ip-addresses.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/sucuri-dns-ip-addresses-300x175.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/sucuri-dns-ip-addresses-768x448.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re stressed that this is all too complicated, you can ask your web host for help and they will guide you through the process. Added to that, you can also raise a support ticket with Sucuri and their support team will help you change the DNS records.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>To open a ticket, you&#8217;ll find a link inside the manual instructions on the same page.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"273\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/open-a-ticket-sucuri.png\" alt=\"open a ticket sucuri\" class=\"wp-image-254336\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/open-a-ticket-sucuri.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/open-a-ticket-sucuri-300x106.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/open-a-ticket-sucuri-768x271.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;re done setting up the firewall, it usually takes a few hours for the changes to reflect. You can expect a maximum wait time of 48 hours.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you enable the firewall, it will automatically add security headers to your site to protect it from XSS attacks.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"437\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/sucuri-xss-protection.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-266242\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/sucuri-xss-protection.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/sucuri-xss-protection-300x169.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/sucuri-xss-protection-768x433.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If there&#8217;s an attempted XSS attack Sucuri will block it and report it to you in the<strong> Reports </strong>tab.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"449\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/xss-attack-blocked-with-sucuri-report.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-266244\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/xss-attack-blocked-with-sucuri-report.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/xss-attack-blocked-with-sucuri-report-300x174.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/xss-attack-blocked-with-sucuri-report-768x445.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now what we love about the Sucuri firewall is that it&#8217;s so easy for anyone to use, including beginners. You don&#8217;t have to be a cyber security expert or know any coding. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can enable all sorts of protection features with just a click in the <strong>Settings » Security</strong> tab. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>So for instance, you can enable DDoS protection and geoblocking to make it harder for hackers to attack your site. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"476\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/emergency-ddos-protection.png\" alt=\"Emergency ddos protection\" class=\"wp-image-254331\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/emergency-ddos-protection.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/emergency-ddos-protection-300x184.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/emergency-ddos-protection-768x472.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To enable a security feature here, all you have to do is check the box and save your settings. When you need to disable it, you simply have to uncheck the box.</p>\n\n\n\n<p> Aside from this, the Sucuri plugin will:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Regularly scan and monitor for spam and malicious code</li><li>Alert you of any cross-site scripting vulnerability</li><li>Block bad bots and hackers</li><li>Check for blacklists with search engines and other authorities</li><li>Monitor website uptime</li><li>Detect changes made to DNS (domain name system) and SSL</li><li>Send you instant security alerts via email, SMS, Slack, and RSS</li></ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So your site will be protected at all times.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"forms\">2. Use Secure Forms</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On a vulnerable website, forms are one of the most common targets for hackers. If your form is unsecured, this means anyone can simply enter malicious code in your form fields.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our recommendation for securing your website&#8217;s forms is <a href=\"http://wpforms.com/pricing\">WPForms</a>. It is the #1 WordPress form builder that has built-in security so your forms are protected right from the start.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"331\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/anti-spam-protection.png\" alt=\"anti spam protection in WPForms\" class=\"wp-image-257091\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/anti-spam-protection.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/anti-spam-protection-300x128.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/anti-spam-protection-768x328.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, the forms have anti-spam protection turned on. Plus, you can even add CAPTCHA to your forms to block spam bots.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"350\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/advanced-nocaptcha-invisible-captcha.png\" alt=\"Advanced noCaptcha and Invisible Captcha\" class=\"wp-image-253550\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/advanced-nocaptcha-invisible-captcha.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/advanced-nocaptcha-invisible-captcha-300x135.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/advanced-nocaptcha-invisible-captcha-768x347.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can enable an invisible captcha or the type where a user will have to solve a little puzzle or tick a box to prove they&#8217;re human.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"roles\">3. Set User Role Permissions</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you have multiple people working on your website, it isn&#8217;t wise to give everyone admin access. It&#8217;s better to assign them roles based on what permissions they need.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress lets you create roles for:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Super Admin</li><li>Administrator</li><li>Editor</li><li>Author</li><li>Contributor</li><li>Subscriber</li></ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now if a hacker gets control over a user&#8217;s account, they&#8217;ll be limited in what they can do on your site.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"logout\">4. Auto-logout Inactive Users</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hackers can gain access to user accounts by hijacking their browser sessions and stealing cookies. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can minimize this risk by logging out inactive WordPress users.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many security plugins have an idle session logout feature or you can use the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/inactive-logout/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Inactive Logout</a> plugin.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"update\">5. Update Your Website Regularly</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress plugins, themes, and even your WordPress installation get updates regularly. You&#8217;ll see them inside your WordPress dashboard when they&#8217;re available:</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"434\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/updates-in-wordpress.png\" alt=\"updates in wordpress\" class=\"wp-image-257097\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/updates-in-wordpress.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/updates-in-wordpress-300x168.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/updates-in-wordpress-768x430.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Many website owners ignore updates for a long time but this can expose your website to hackers. Updates usually carry bug fixes, new features, and improvements to the software. They can also have security patches. You can see if an update carries a security patch by viewing the details of the update.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"281\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/view-version-details-of-update.png\" alt=\"view version details of update\" class=\"wp-image-257099\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/view-version-details-of-update.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/view-version-details-of-update-300x109.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/view-version-details-of-update-768x278.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This means a vulnerability was found in the software that hackers can use to attack your site. When developers find security problems, they patch them up and release a new version of the software. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>All you have to do is update the software on your site.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you see it&#8217;s a security patch, update it immediately to avoid any risk of being hacked.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"402\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/security-update.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-257098\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/security-update.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/security-update-300x156.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/security-update-768x398.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main reasons site owners ignore updates is that they can sometimes break your site or cause incompatibility issues. We recommend that you <a href=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wordpress-test-site/\">test the update on a staging site</a> and then run it on your live site.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that, you&#8217;ve learned how to fix and prevent XSS attacks on your WordPress site.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we wrap up, we&#8217;ll give you one more security tip. Always take regular backups of your website. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with the strongest security measures on your site, there are many things that can go wrong. For instance, a user can make a simple human error that crashes your website.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can set up automated backups using a backup plugin like <a href=\"https://www.isitwp.com/refer/updraftplus/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UpdraftPlus</a>. For more options, see our list of the <a href=\"https://www.isitwp.com/best-wordpress-backup-plugins-compared/\">top WordPress backup plugins</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2>FAQs</h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Is WordPress vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks?</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>The WordPress core software is developed and maintained by some of the best experts in the world. Their software is pretty rock solid but keep in mind that no software is free from vulnerabilities. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason WordPress websites are attacked often is that the platform is so popular. And most users install tons of third-party themes and plugins. Vulnerabilities can develop in any of these elements and hackers can exploit them to hack your site.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Are there different kinds of cross site scripting attacks?</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. There are 3 main types of XSS attacks: </p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Stored XSS (also know as persistent XSS): </strong>Attackers stores their payload on a compromised server, causing the website to deliver malicious code to other visitors.</li><li><strong>Reflected XSS: T</strong>he payload is stored in the data sent from the browser to the server.</li><li><strong>DOM XSS:</strong> Here, the server itself isn’t the one vulnerable to XSS, but rather the JavaScript on the page is.</li><li><strong>Self cross-site scripting: </strong>Attackers can exploit a vulnerability that needs really specific context and manual changes. The victim here can only be yourself.</li><li><strong>Blind cross-site scripting: </strong>In these attacks, the vulnerability commonly lies on a page that only authorized users can access. The attacker can’t see the result of an attack.</li></ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. How do I make sure there are no other security issues on my site?</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you always have a security plugin installed on your website. This is a must for all kinds of websites including WooCommerce, blogs, and small business sites. We recommend Sucuri, but you can also check out Wordfence, MalCare, and SiteLock.

It&#8217;s like an upgraded version of Universal Analytics that we&#8217;re all familiar with. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a look at the new Google Analytics Dashboard:</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"402\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/google-analytics-4.png\" alt=\"google analytics 4\" class=\"wp-image-266181\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/google-analytics-4.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/google-analytics-4-300x156.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/google-analytics-4-768x398.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So GA4 comes with a ton of new features to track your website and get detailed insights into its performance. The highlights of GA4 include:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Based on machine learning making the platform more intelligent</li><li>Gives you insights into customer journey across platforms and devices</li><li>Focuses on privacy</li><li>More durable data for the future</li><li>Seamless integration with Google&#8217;s advertising platforms</li><li>Easier optimization of campaigns to drive marketing ROI higher</li></ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting up GA4 is easy but you&#8217;ll have to re-learn a new platform. Many of the reports that you might be used to don&#8217;t exist in the new Google Analytics 4 platform. However, they may be reintroduced later on.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, you can expect GA4 to have a learning curve but it will give us new and advanced ways to measure and analyze traffic like never before.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"difference\">Google Analytics 4 vs Universal Analytics</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>GA4 is similar to Universal Analytics (UA) but there are quite a few stark differences. For starters, the navigational menu and dropdown options have changed. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you&#8217;re currently using Universal Analytics and you make the switch to GA4, that&#8217;s one of the first things you&#8217;ll notice. You&#8217;ll have to spend a few minutes learning the new navigation.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from that, here are the key differences between the 2 platforms. Keep in mind though that Google is constantly innovating and new features, reports, and functionality would be added as the platform continues to be developed. </p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li><strong>No historical data: </strong>Once you move to GA4, you&#8217;ll start afresh. This means your old data won&#8217;t be transferred from the UA property. The bright side, for now, is that you can switch between the two views to see your old data. This is also why you should set up GA4 for your site as soon as possible. So when Universal Analytics is retired, you&#8217;ll have some historical data present in GA4.</li><li><strong>Bounce rate report is missing:</strong> Bounce rate shows you how many people leave your site quickly after viewing just one page. This metric has been replaced with engaged sessions that actually give you deeper insights into people leaving your site. So instead of just seeing a percentage, you&#8217;ll see more data on the people who left your website. Added to that, Google wants its users to shift focus to engagement rate. This shows you data on who&#8217;s staying on your website rather than who&#8217;s leaving.</li><li><strong>GA4 uses events instead of goals: </strong>Google only tracks events and conversions now. There&#8217;s no option to create goals, however, you can choose which events you want to count as conversions. And there&#8217;s an easy way to do this just by toggling a switch. The good thing about this is that Google will track some events for you without having to modify the code of your site.</li></ol>\n\n\n\n<p>So you can see that GA4 does have some really cool upgrades. But right now, when you see reports on your dashboard, they look quite complex. In our opinion, the new platform isn&#8217;t beginner-friendly yet and there&#8217;s a pretty steep learning curve to it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the drawbacks of the new platform, should you make the switch? We give you a detailed answer next.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"switch\">Should I Switch to Google Analytics 4?</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes &#8211; is the short answer.  </p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re already using Universal Analytics, you&#8217;ve likely seen this warning in your dashboard:</p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Universal Analytics will no longer process new data in standard properties beginning July 1, 2023. Prepare now by setting up and switching over to a Google Analytics 4 property.&#8221;</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"150\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/universal-analytics-warning.png\" alt=\"universal analytics warning\" class=\"wp-image-266180\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/universal-analytics-warning.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/universal-analytics-warning-300x58.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/universal-analytics-warning-768x149.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This means your current Google Analytics will no longer fetch new data from <strong>July 1, 2023</strong>. You&#8217;ll be able to see your Universal Analytics reports for a period of time after July 1, 2023.&nbsp;But all new data will only flow into Google Analytics 4 properties.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"503\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/universal-analytics-retiring.png\" alt=\"universal analytics retiring\" class=\"wp-image-266179\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/universal-analytics-retiring.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/universal-analytics-retiring-300x195.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/universal-analytics-retiring-768x498.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Added to this, your historical data from Universal Analytics won&#8217;t be transferred to GA4. So it&#8217;s important that you make the switch soon. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>That way, you can start collecting data right away in GA4. Then when we&#8217;re all forced to make the switch in July, you&#8217;ll have some historical data to rely on. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a nutshell, you don&#8217;t have to start using Google Analytics 4 right away. But you should set it up as soon as possible and let it gather data.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we know that setting up GA4 seems intimidating but we&#8217;re here to guide you through the easiest way to get it done. The method we&#8217;ll be using today will let you add dual tracking to your site so that you can use GA4 as well as Universal Analytics.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"setup\">How to Set Up Google Analytics 4?</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can set up Google Analytics 4 on your own but there&#8217;s a technical process to follow. This isn&#8217;t beginner-friendly and you need to have a basic understanding of coding your site. So anyone that isn&#8217;t tech savvy would end up avoiding this switch for as long as they can.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily for WordPress users, there&#8217;s a much easier way &#8211; and that&#8217;s <a href=\"https://www.monsterinsights.com\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Best WordPress Analytics Plugin\" rel=\"noopener\">MonsterInsights</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https://monsterinsights.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"452\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/monsterinsights-homepage.png\" alt=\"monsterinsights\" class=\"wp-image-261742\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/monsterinsights-homepage.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/monsterinsights-homepage-300x175.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/monsterinsights-homepage-768x448.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></a></figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.monsterinsights.com\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Best WordPress Analytics Plugin\" rel=\"noopener\">MonsterInsights</a> is hands down the best analytics plugin for WordPress.

MonsterInsights lets you do that with just a few clicks. You’ll be able to track both a Universal Analytics property and a GA4 property. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the main&nbsp;<strong>Settings</strong>&nbsp;page of the MonsterInsights plugin, scroll down to<strong>&nbsp;Google Authentication</strong>&nbsp;and find the&nbsp;<strong>Dual Tracking Profile</strong>&nbsp;box. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"600\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/monsterinsights-dual-tracking.png\" alt=\"monsterinsights dual tracking\" class=\"wp-image-266156\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/monsterinsights-dual-tracking.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/monsterinsights-dual-tracking-300x232.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/monsterinsights-dual-tracking-768x595.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the setup wizard, you would&#8217;ve set up either Universal Analytics or GA4. Accordingly, you can choose to set up the one you didn&#8217;t authenticate earlier using your Universal Analytics Tracking ID or your GA4 Measurement ID</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 5: Create an API Secret</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;ve set up Google Analytics 4 either as your main or dual tracking profile, then you&#8217;ll need to use an API secret. This will ensure that all of MonsterInsights’ tracking features work correctly.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>To create an API secret, open Google Analytics and navigate to&nbsp;<strong>Admin</strong>.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"351\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/data-stream-inside-ga-admin.png\" alt=\"data stream inside ga admin\" class=\"wp-image-266172\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/data-stream-inside-ga-admin.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/data-stream-inside-ga-admin-300x136.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/data-stream-inside-ga-admin-768x348.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the Property column, click&nbsp;<strong>Data Streams</strong>&nbsp;and open the data stream connected to MonsterInsights.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>On this page, you&#8217;ll see an option called <strong>Measurement Protocol API secrets</strong>. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"346\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/ga-4-data-stream-api.png\" alt=\"ga 4 data stream api\" class=\"wp-image-266173\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/ga-4-data-stream-api.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/ga-4-data-stream-api-300x134.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/ga-4-data-stream-api-768x343.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This lets you create a new API secret.

You need to paste the <strong>Secret Value</strong> here and the settings will automatically save.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>That’s it! You’ve successfully added Google Analytics 4 to WordPress.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"faqs\">FAQs on Google Analytics 4</h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Do I have to use Google Analytics 4?</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>For now, you can continue to use Universal Analytics till July 2023. After that, you&#8217;ll have to switch to Google Analytics 4. We recommend setting it up now so that it starts collecting data in a new GA4 property. Once Universal Analytics is retired, your data will not be transferred to GA4.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Is MonsterInsights the only way to set up Google Analytics 4?</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, you can set up Google Analytics manually. This involves inserting a tracking code into your website&#8217;s coding in the header.php file. MonsterInsights is easier and requires no coding. All website owners can use this plugin including beginners.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you already have Universal Tracking set up, you can access the GA4 Setup Assistant inside the admin menu. Follow the setup wizard to create your new GA4 property.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. How to use Google Analytics 4?</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve set up Google Analytics 4 with MonsterInsights, you can see your reports inside your WordPress admin. In your WordPress menu, open the <strong>Insights</strong> tab and view your analytics reports. </p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4.

However, the easiest way is to use <a href=\"https://www.isitwp.com/best-wordpress-review-plugins/\" title=\"7+ Best WordPress Review Plugins to Boost Online Revenue\">WordPress review plugins</a> that allow you to collect online reviews in a few clicks. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that’s exactly what we’re going to do in this post.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, we&#8217;ll show you how to create a smart review form to give customers a place where they can fill out their ratings and reviews.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, we&#8217;ll also show you how to target customers to get them to leave reviews. We&#8217;ll use 2 tools to do this: OptinMonster and TrustPulse. Both are really powerful in helping you target users at the right time and place so that they are encouraged to leave you a review.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can follow these steps one by one:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-51641e34-6cc6-49be-9134-ee0f96aef662\"><li><a href=\"#wpf\">WPForms: Create a smart review form</a></li><li><a href=\"#om\"><a href=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=260605&amp;action=edit#om\">OptinMonster: O<a href=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=260605&amp;action=edit#om\">ptimize review responses targeting individual users</a></a></a></li><li><a href=\"#tp\">TrustPulse: Maximize reviews targeting a broader audience</a></li></ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So, let&#8217;s get started!</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"wpf\">Create a Review Form with WPForms</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, you’ll need to find a form builder plugin that lets you create review forms with ease.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend using <a href=\"https://wpforms.com\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Best Drag &amp; Drop WordPress Form Builder\" rel=\"noopener\">WPForms</a>.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https://wpforms.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"440\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/wpforms.jpg\" alt=\"WPForms\" class=\"wp-image-253455\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/wpforms.jpg 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/wpforms-300x170.jpg 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/wpforms-768x436.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></a></figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://wpforms.com\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Best Drag &amp; Drop WordPress Form Builder\" rel=\"noopener\">WPForms</a> is the best form builder for WordPress sites. It offers tons of powerful features that let you create any type of form including a review/testimonial form.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The plugin comes with a collection of form templates for all purposes such as contact forms, signup forms, testimonial forms, and review forms.&nbsp;So, you can get started without touching a line of code.  </p>\n\n\n\n<p>With its drag and drop feature, you can easily add and remove required fields to your review form. You can add fields that allow your users to enter their review content and add ratings as well. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>What really stands out is its conditional logic feature. This lets you ask follow-up questions based on a user&#8217;s rating. So if they rate you below 3 stars, you can ask them what went wrong, but if they rate you 5 stars, then you can ask them what they found great about your product/service.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"536\" height=\"235\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/wpforms-smart-conditional-logic.gif\" alt=\"WPForms smart conditional logic\" class=\"wp-image-254764\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, WPForms allows you to send automated email notifications to your team members and customers. For example, whenever a user submits a review form on your site, you can send an email to the admin. And, you can send a thank you email to the user who submitted the review. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the forms you create with WPForms are 100% responsive which means they work well on any mobile device. Plus, you can prevent bots and hackers from submitting reviews on your site with its built-in spam protection feature.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s create a user review form in WordPress using WPForms.</p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Step 1: Install and Activate WPForms</h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To create a review form, you need to sign up for a <a href=\"https://wpforms.com/pricing/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WPForms account</a>. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is also a lite version available for free in the WordPress repository. But, you&#8217;ll need to upgrade to the premium version for advanced features and extensions.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you sign up, you’ll find your download file and license key from the <strong>Downloads</strong> tab on your account.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"402\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/wpforms-license-key.png\" alt=\"WPForms license key\" class=\"wp-image-256504\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/wpforms-license-key.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/wpforms-license-key-300x156.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/wpforms-license-key-768x398.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, you need to install the plugin on your WordPress site. If you want more details, you can check out our guide on <a href=\"https://www.isitwp.com/install-wordpress-plugin/\" title=\"How to Install a WordPress Plugin – 3 Methods (Step by Step)\">how to install a WordPress plugin</a>.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you install and activate WPForms, you have to enter the license key on the <strong>WPForms » Settings</strong> tab.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"333\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/verify-wpforms-license.png\" alt=\"verify wpforms license\" class=\"wp-image-260438\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/verify-wpforms-license.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/verify-wpforms-license-300x129.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/verify-wpforms-license-768x330.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Click on the <strong>Verify</strong> button and you’re all set to create a review form.</p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Step 2: Create a Custom Review Form&nbsp;</h4>\n\n\n\n<p>WPForms makes it really easy to create a review form in under 5 minutes. All you have to do is navigate to the <strong>WPForms » Add New</strong> tab from the admin dashboard. Then, you’ll see the form templates library in a popup window. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can search for an apt template like User Review Form or Testimonial Form.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re going with the <strong>User Review Form</strong> for this tutorial. It comes with all the necessary form fields for collecting reviews. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"448\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/select-review-form-template.png\" alt=\"select review form template\" class=\"wp-image-265683\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/select-review-form-template.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/select-review-form-template-300x173.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/select-review-form-template-768x444.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Select a template by clicking on the <strong>Use Template</strong> button. This will launch the drag and drop form builder.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, you’ll see all the form fields on the left menu and a preview of the form on the right side of the builder.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"553\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/wpforms-form-builder.png\" alt=\"wpforms-form-builder\" class=\"wp-image-265687\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/wpforms-form-builder.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/wpforms-form-builder-300x214.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/wpforms-form-builder-768x548.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to add more fields, you can drag and drop them from the left panel.&nbsp;For instance, you can add the <strong>Rating</strong> field to make your form more interactive. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"776\" height=\"463\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/add-rating-field.gif\" alt=\"how to get more online reviews for your business with rating field\" class=\"wp-image-265688\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can edit any form field by simply clicking on it and you’ll see the field settings open on the left. For the <strong>Rating</strong> field, you’ll be able to change the field label, description, and more. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <strong>Advanced </strong>settings tab, there are more options to change the rating icon to heart, thumb, or a smiley face. You can also change the color of the rating icon.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"899\" height=\"611\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/rating-field-customization.png\" alt=\"rating field customization\" class=\"wp-image-265691\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/rating-field-customization.png 899w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/rating-field-customization-300x204.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/rating-field-customization-768x522.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 899px) 100vw, 899px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The next tab lets you set up Smart Logic. This lets you decide which question to show/hide based on a user&#8217;s response.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you finish customizing your form, click on the <strong>Save</strong> button.</p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Step 4: Set Up Form Notifications and Confirmations </h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you can set up form notifications so you’ll be notified whenever a review is submitted on your site.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the <strong>Settings » Notifications</strong> tab, check the <strong>Enable Notifications</strong> option and you’ll see the default settings. You can customize the notification settings and add the email addresses of the admin and the team members.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"409\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/form-notifications.png\" alt=\"form notifications\" class=\"wp-image-260609\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/form-notifications.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/form-notifications-300x158.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/form-notifications-768x405.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also create a form notification to thank the user for submitting a review. To create a user notification, click on the <strong>Add New Notification</strong> button at the top-right corner and enter a name.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you need to add the user email address to the <strong>Send to Email Address</strong> field by using the smart tags.

One of the best ways to get more customers to leave a review is by targeting them at the right time and place with a stunning popup. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, you can get them to review their experience right after a successful checkout or maybe just before they exit your site.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to create these popups is using the best popup builder tool on the market, <a href=\"https://optinmonster.com\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"OptinMonster - Best WordPress Popup Plugin\" rel=\"noopener\">OptinMonster</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https://optinmonster.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"340\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/optinmonster-wordpress-banner-plugin.png\" alt=\"optinmonster-wordpress-banner-plugin\" class=\"wp-image-258191\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/optinmonster-wordpress-banner-plugin.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/optinmonster-wordpress-banner-plugin-300x132.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/optinmonster-wordpress-banner-plugin-768x337.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></a></figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://optinmonster.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"OptinMonster - Best WordPress Popup Plugin\">OptinMonster</a> is the #1 lead generation tool for all types of websites.

With its intuitive campaign builder, you can simply drag and drop blocks to customize your campaigns and add more elements as you like.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a glimpse of some of the eye-catching campaigns you can create with OptinMonster:</p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img width=\"620\" height=\"500\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/campaign-examples-from-om.png\" alt=\"campaign-examples-from-om\" class=\"wp-image-256813\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/campaign-examples-from-om.png 620w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/campaign-examples-from-om-300x242.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" /></figure></div>\n\n\n\n<p>The best thing about OptinMonster is its smart targeting rules which help you display your popups and other campaigns to the right people and at the right time on your site. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this, you can make your campaigns appear to the website visitors who are about to exit your site or to those users who visit certain web pages. You can also retarget visitors and follow up with them to improve user engagement.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Added to that, OptinMonster also offers a built-in analytics dashboard that allows you to track and view detailed stats about your campaigns. It shows the number of visitors who viewed and clicked on your popups and even the revenue generated from these campaigns.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, let&#8217;s learn how to create a popup campaign in OptinMonster.</p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Step 1: Install OptinMonster Plugin</h4>\n\n\n\n<p>First, you&#8217;ll need to sign up for an <a href=\"https://optinmonster.com/pricing/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">OptinMonster account</a>. OptinMonster offers premium plans that are tailored to fit your requirements. The pro plans start at $9 per month. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>To connect your WordPress site with your account, you&#8217;ll need to install the OptinMonster free plugin from the admin dashboard. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"310\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/OptinMonster-plugin.png\" alt=\"OptinMonster-plugin\" class=\"wp-image-258396\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/OptinMonster-plugin.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/OptinMonster-plugin-300x120.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/OptinMonster-plugin-768x307.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After you install and activate the OptinMonster plugin on your site, it will automatically launch a setup wizard to connect your account.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re already signed in to your OptinMonster account in another tab, the plugin will auto-detect it and sync your website.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, you&#8217;re ready to create your first popup campaign to collect online reviews. </p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Step 2: Create a New Campaign</h4>\n\n\n\n<p>OptinMonster offers templates and a drag and drop builder to create beautiful popup campaigns. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open the <strong>OptinMonster » Campaigns</strong> page on the WordPress dashboard. Then, click on the <strong>Create Your First Campaign</strong> button there. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"476\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/create-a-new-optinmonster-campaign.png\" alt=\"create a new optinmonster campaign\" class=\"wp-image-265693\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/create-a-new-optinmonster-campaign.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/create-a-new-optinmonster-campaign-300x184.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/create-a-new-optinmonster-campaign-768x472.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you&#8217;ll get the option to choose the campaign type: Popup, Floating Bar, Fullscreen, Inline, Side-in, and Gamified.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this tutorial, we&#8217;ll choose the <strong>Popup</strong> campaign. OptinMonster offers tons of pre-made templates so you can preview them and choose any one that you prefer. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, we&#8217;ll select the <strong>Basic</strong> template. Click on the <strong>Use Template</strong> button to get started. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"550\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/popup-campaign-template.png\" alt=\"popup campaign template\" class=\"wp-image-265694\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/popup-campaign-template.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/popup-campaign-template-300x213.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/popup-campaign-template-768x545.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, you&#8217;ll have to enter a name for your campaign and click on the <strong>Start Building</strong> button. This will launch the OptinMonster campaign builder in the next window. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"434\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/name-your-campaign-popup.png\" alt=\"name your campaign popup\" class=\"wp-image-265695\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/name-your-campaign-popup.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/name-your-campaign-popup-300x168.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/name-your-campaign-popup-768x430.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the campaign builder, you&#8217;ll see the live preview on the right side of the page and the campaign blocks on the left side. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"459\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/optinmonster-campaign-builder.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-265696\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/optinmonster-campaign-builder.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/optinmonster-campaign-builder-300x178.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/optinmonster-campaign-builder-768x455.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, there&#8217;s an optin form on the template. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because we&#8217;re going to add our review form in this popup, you can remove the optin form by hovering over it and clicking on the trash icon. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"767\" height=\"537\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/delete-optin-fields.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-265697\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/delete-optin-fields.png 767w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/delete-optin-fields-300x210.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 100vw, 767px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, you can edit the title text of the popup to match your review form.

To do this, you&#8217;ll need to copy the shortcode of the review form you created in WPForms. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, navigate to the  <strong>WPForms » All Forms </strong>tab on your admin dashboard and open the review form. Then, click on the <strong>Embed</strong> button right next to Save. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"438\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/embed-review-form.png\" alt=\"embed review form\" class=\"wp-image-265700\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/embed-review-form.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/embed-review-form-300x170.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/embed-review-form-768x434.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, you&#8217;ll see a popup to embed your form on an existing or new WordPress page.

When you click on it, it creates a URL link to the popup campaign on your site. This is the URL to a separate page that only displays your campaigns and collects the information from users. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>You also get the option to add the title and meta description for this standalone campaign page. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"755\" height=\"548\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/shareable-monsterlink-for-review.png\" alt=\"shareable monsterlink for review\" class=\"wp-image-265710\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/shareable-monsterlink-for-review.png 755w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/shareable-monsterlink-for-review-300x218.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can add this URL to your emails and social media posts so even users who are not browsing your site can leave a review for your business.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we’ll show you how to get more online reviews for your business with the help of popup notifications.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"tp\">Use TrustPulse to Get More People to Leave a Review</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Popup notifications are on-site notifications that appear to the website visitors when they are browsing your site. You can use these notifications to show live sales on your site or ask users for reviews. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the best tool for creating these popups is <a href=\"https://trustpulse.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TrustPulse</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https://trustpulse.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"475\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/trustpulse-new-homepage.png\" alt=\"trustpulse new homepage\" class=\"wp-image-256765\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/trustpulse-new-homepage.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/trustpulse-new-homepage-300x184.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/trustpulse-new-homepage-768x471.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></a></figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://trustpulse.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TrustPulse</a> is the best social proof notification tool for all types of websites. It lets you add on-page notifications and action messages on your website to engage your visitors.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you install TrustPulse on your site, it automatically tracks user activities on your site like registrations, signups, purchases, and more. You can create non-intrusive popup notifications and display this data to the new site visitors.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>When they see other people taking action on your site, they&#8217;ll trust your brand more and want to take action too. This creates a FOMO (fear of missing out) effect. It helps to boost the credibility of your website and makes visitors trust your products.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, you can also use TrustPulse to show custom action messages. You can create popups that persuade customers to leave a review for your business.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, we&#8217;ll show you how to get more online reviews with these popups using TrustPulse. </p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Step 1: Create a New Campaign</h4>\n\n\n\n<p>First, you need to install the TrustPulse plugin on your site. It is available free on the WordPress repository so, you can directly install it from your admin dashboard.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the <strong>Plugins » Add New</strong> tab, search for the TrustPulse plugin and install and activate it.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"502\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/install-trustpulse.png\" alt=\"install trustpulse\" class=\"wp-image-265386\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/install-trustpulse.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/install-trustpulse-300x194.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/install-trustpulse-768x497.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, you&#8217;ll need to connect your <a href=\"https://trustpulse.com/pricing/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TrustPulse account</a> with your site. If you haven&#8217;t created an account yet, you can click on the <strong>Get Started for Free</strong> button.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"403\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/connect-trustpulse-with-wordpress.png\" alt=\"connect trustpulse with wordpress\" class=\"wp-image-265387\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/connect-trustpulse-with-wordpress.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/connect-trustpulse-with-wordpress-300x156.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/connect-trustpulse-with-wordpress-768x399.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<h4>Step 2: Create a New Popup Notification</h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your TrustPulse account is connected, you&#8217;ll see the success message on your WordPress dashboard.

It shows a notification like &#8220;Someone just purchased new pair of shoes&#8221;.</li><li><strong>On-Fire:</strong> This shows the number of people taking action on your site in a given period. So, your visitors will see a notification like &#8220;150 people purchased new shoes in the last 24 hours&#8221;.</li><li><strong>Visitor Analytics:</strong> Showcases the page views on your site to increase conversions.</li><li><strong>Action Message:</strong> Static notifications with customized messages that trigger visitors to take action like sign up, grab a discount, give a review, and so on.</li></ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use the <strong>Recent Activity</strong> campaign to show a notification whenever a user submits a review on your site like this:</p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img width=\"527\" height=\"156\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/review-notification.png\" alt=\"review notification\" class=\"wp-image-265765\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/review-notification.png 527w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/review-notification-300x89.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 527px) 100vw, 527px\" /></figure></div>\n\n\n\n<p>For this tutorial, we’re going to use the <strong>Action Message</strong> campaign. This way, you can create a popup notification with a custom message and ask users to leave a review for your business.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"446\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/choose-campaign-type.png\" alt=\"choose campaign type\" class=\"wp-image-260615\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/choose-campaign-type.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/choose-campaign-type-300x173.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/choose-campaign-type-768x442.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After you choose the campaign type, click on the <strong>Next Step</strong> button at the bottom of the campaign builder.

Thanks for visiting today</em>!&#8221;. You can change the text to something like &#8220;<em>Enjoying TrustPulse? Review Us</em>!&#8221; to ask users to leave a review. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"524\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/trustpulse-customize-design.png\" alt=\"trustpulse customize design\" class=\"wp-image-265720\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/trustpulse-customize-design.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/trustpulse-customize-design-300x203.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/trustpulse-customize-design-768x519.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Most importantly, it gives you the option to add the message link to redirect your visitors to any page. So you can add the URL to the review from page that you created earlier with WPForms. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from this, you can also add icon images, text colors, and font for your notification.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/trustpulse-get-reviews.png\" alt=\"trustpulse get reviews\" class=\"wp-image-260616\" width=\"779\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/trustpulse-get-reviews.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/trustpulse-get-reviews-300x164.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/trustpulse-get-reviews-768x420.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 779px) 100vw, 779px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As you make your customizations, you can see the live preview of your notification on the bottom-left corner of the campaign builder. </p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img width=\"588\" height=\"383\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/popup-live-preview.png\" alt=\"popup live preview\" class=\"wp-image-265774\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/popup-live-preview.png 588w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/popup-live-preview-300x195.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" /></figure></div>\n\n\n\n<p>After you finish customizing the notification popup, you can click on the <strong>Next Step</strong> button at the end. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, you can set up display rules to control where and when this action message appears on your WordPress site. </p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Step 4: Set Up Popup Display Rules</h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <strong>Display Rules</strong> tab, you can set up where you want to show your notifications. TrustPulse offers many display options so you can access them from the dropdown menu. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you choose the <strong>Display on any page</strong> option, the notification will appear on every page or post of your website. If you want the users to leave a review for a particular product on your site, you can choose the <strong>Display on exact URLs </strong>option and add the URL of the product page there. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"494\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/trustpulse-display-rules.png\" alt=\"trustpulse display rules\" class=\"wp-image-265718\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/trustpulse-display-rules.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/trustpulse-display-rules-300x191.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/trustpulse-display-rules-768x490.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you can configure other notification settings.

It does this by displaying only the content that the user is viewing. As the user scrolls down a page, it loads the next lot. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>This way, your website isn&#8217;t burdened with loading everything at once. And naturally, with a lighter load to deal with, your website&#8217;s speed and performance gets a solid boost.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we’ve picked out the best lazy load image plugins that let you optimize the loading speed of images and videos on your website. But first, we’ll cover some of the benefits of using a lazy load image plugin so you&#8217;ll be sure of what to expect.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Why Use an Image Lazy Plugin for WordPress?</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Images are usually larger in file size so they take longer to load as compared to other page elements like text and icons. If users see that the page is taking time to load or there are broken images, they&#8217;ll be quick to leave. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to solve this problem is to use an image lazy load plugin on your website.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you use image lazy loading plugins, you&#8217;ll benefit from the following:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Fast Initial Load Time:</strong> Whenever someone enters your website URL on their browsers, the pages load quickly and without any lag.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Saves Data and Bandwidth:</strong> Because images on your site only load when the user scrolls them, it reduces the use of bandwidth and cuts the cost of resources.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Better Customer Experience:</strong> Deliver an uninterrupted website experience to your visitors. </li><li><strong>Improves Website SEO:</strong> A faster website is always better for SEO and improves search rankings as Google prioritizes load speed.</li></ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With that said, let’s look at the best image lazy load plugins that you can use for your website.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Best WordPress Image Lazy Load Plugins</h2>\n\n\n\n<h3>1. <a href=\"https://www.isitwp.com/refer/wp-rocket/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" title=\"WP Rocket\">Lazy Load by WP Rocket&nbsp;</a></h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https://isitwp.com/refer/wp-rocket/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"349\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/wp-rocket-best-image-lazy-load-plugin-wordpress.png\" alt=\"wp rocket best image lazy load plugin wordpress\" class=\"wp-image-265013\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/wp-rocket-best-image-lazy-load-plugin-wordpress.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/wp-rocket-best-image-lazy-load-plugin-wordpress-300x135.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/wp-rocket-best-image-lazy-load-plugin-wordpress-768x346.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></a></figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http://isitwp.com/refer/wp-rocket/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" title=\"WP Rocket\">WP Rocket</a> is the best caching plugin to speed up your entire website.

The first thing you’ll see is the <strong>General</strong> settings where you can add the form title and description. You can also choose the format for your payment form.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"462\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/new.png\" alt=\"new\" class=\"wp-image-265277\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/new.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/new-300x179.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/new-768x458.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 3 form type options to choose from:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Embedded:</strong> Embed a payment form directly on any WordPress page or post.</li><li><strong>Overlay:</strong> Display a button for payment.

Here, you can choose the payment mode and add pricing for your products or services.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are options to add the product <strong>Label</strong> and <strong>Amount</strong>.

This is perfect for creators and non-profit organizations that welcome donations.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, the amount is set up for one-time payments, but you can change that and choose the <strong>Subscription</strong> option. This allows you to accept recurring payments on your WordPress site.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you switch to <strong>Subscription</strong>, you’ll see the options to choose the billing period, invoice limit, free trial period, and more.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"710\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/recurring-payment.png\" alt=\"recurring payment\" class=\"wp-image-265279\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/recurring-payment.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/recurring-payment-300x275.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/recurring-payment-768x704.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, you can customize the payment form fields and add the credit card option.

Basically: if you can imagine it, you can now create it (even if you&#8217;re not tech-savvy!).</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let’s take a look at what you should keep in mind when comparing the best WordPress page builders, so you can choose the right one for your needs.</p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Ease of Use:</strong> A good page builder comes with a drag and drop interface and tons of pre-built page modules making it easy for all levels of users to get started.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Compatibility:</strong> Make sure the builder you want to use is compatible with your theme and the plugins you use. If you find any compatibility issues, then you might want to use a builder-compatible theme for your site.</li><li><strong>Page Builder Features:</strong> Not all builders come with the same features. Some drag and drop builders have a lot of built-in layouts while others offer dozens of animation effects. It&#8217;s up to you to decide what you need for your site.</li><li><strong>Responsiveness:</strong> With responsive, mobile-friendly, out-of-the-box layouts, your designs will look good on all devices. So you won&#8217;t have to spend hours realigning designs to suit mobile devices.</li><li><strong>SEO (Search Engine Optimization):</strong> Built-in SEO measures and layouts will help optimize your page to rank on search engines.</li></ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>Best WordPress Page Builders</h3>\n\n\n\n<ol><li><a href=\"#sp\">SeedProd</a>: The easiest WordPress page builder</li><li><a href=\"#bb\">Beaver Builder</a>: Freemium drag &amp; drop builder</li><li><a href=\"#db\">Divi Builder</a>: Complete website builder with 100+ demos</li><li><a href=\"#el\">Elementor</a>: WordPress theme builder with tons of integrations</li><li><a href=\"#tb\">Themify Builder</a>: Best frontend editing mode</li><li><a href=\"#ta\">Thrive Architect</a>: Yet another landing page builder for WordPress</li><li><a href=\"#bri\">Brizy</a>: Beginner-friendly Page Builder</li><li><a href=\"#so\">SiteOrigin</a>: Best free WordPress website builder</li><li><a href=\"#wpb\">WP Bakery Page Builder</a>: Most popular WordPress site builder</li><li><a href=\"#gdb\">GoDaddy Website Builder:</a> Quick and Easy Builder</li></ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"sp\"><a href=\"https://www.seedprod.com\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Best Drag &amp; Drop WordPress Website Builder\" rel=\"noopener\">1.

It is a hosted platform that lets you create professional-looking landing pages for generating more leads.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Unbounce is the top choice for many businesses, it is not the right option for everyone. There are cheaper Unbounce alternatives that offer better features. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this post, we’ll introduce you to the best Unbounce alternative so you don’t have to search for one yourself.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before that, let&#8217;s look at some of the reasons why you need to look for an alternative to Unbounce.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Why Look For an Unbounce Alternative?</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unbounce comes with a wide range of tools that help you convert leads into paying customers. You get access to powerful tools such as A/B testing, optin forms, popups, and more.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are many reasons why business owners look out for other options. To begin with, Unbounce charges $90 per month for one domain. With this pricing plan, you get up to 20,000 visitors and 500 conversions every month which is not budget-friendly. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>For beginners and first-time users, getting used to the platform itself can be challenging. It takes some time for users to get familiar with this landing page builder tool.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides that, it&#8217;s a hosted solution. This means all the landing pages you create will be stored on the Unbounce platform and not your WordPress site. You&#8217;ll need to install a connector plugin that will let you fetch the landing pages from Unbounce and publish them on your site.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re looking for an Unbounce alternative, you&#8217;ll want to choose one that has the following:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>User-friendly interface</li><li>Great customer support</li><li>Integration with other platforms and social media</li><li>Preview or testing features</li><li>Options to customize coding in HTML or CSS</li></ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, let&#8217;s take a look at the best Unbounce alternative that will cater to all your business needs.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2>The Best Unbounce Alternative: SeedProd</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You’ll find many Unbounce alternatives out there, but nothing compares with the best landing page and website builder for WordPress, <a href=\"https://www.seedprod.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SeedProd</a>.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https://www.seedprod.com/pricing/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"484\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/seedprodsite.png\" alt=\"SeedProd Review\" class=\"wp-image-264048\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/seedprodsite.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/seedprodsite-300x187.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/seedprodsite-768x480.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></a></figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.seedprod.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SeedProd</a> is a powerful website builder that lets you create all types of WordPress themes and pages for your business.

The interface is intuitive and easy to use giving you a great user experience.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The content blocks are available on the left side whereas, the landing page preview is on the right side of the page builder. You only need to drag the content blocks from the left and place them where you like on the right preview area.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"776\" height=\"474\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/seedprod-builder.gif\" alt=\"seedprod builder\" class=\"wp-image-261098\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This drag-and-drop editor makes it possible to design stunning pages in a matter of minutes.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3>4.

SeedProd lets you change the text, font, size, background image, and more.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>SeedProd also offers pre-made templates for certain content blocks. For example, if you want to edit a button, click on it and you’ll see the settings to change the text, choose the button template, and more.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/seedprod-button-templates.png\" alt=\"seedprod button templates\" class=\"wp-image-265841\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/seedprod-button-templates.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/seedprod-button-templates-300x195.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/seedprod-button-templates-768x500.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than this, you also get many advanced options like padding, typography, radius, and background color.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"434\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/seedprod-customize.jpg\" alt=\"unbounce alternative seedprod customize\" class=\"wp-image-261099\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/seedprod-customize.jpg 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/seedprod-customize-300x168.jpg 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/seedprod-customize-768x430.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>5. Readymade Page Sections</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best features offered by SeedProd is the pre-designed page sections that are ready to go. You can simply insert these sections on your landing pages instead of adding a bunch of content blocks. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>This helps you save time and make your pages look more attractive. There are different types of  smart sections available which are categorized into: </p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Header </li><li>Hero areas</li><li>FAQ </li><li><a href=\"https://www.isitwp.com/best-call-to-action-plugins-wordpress/\" title=\"10 Best Call to Action Plugins for WordPress in 2022\">Call to action</a></li><li>Features </li><li>Footers</li><li>Testimonials</li></ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"543\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/smart-sections.png\" alt=\"smart sections\" class=\"wp-image-265843\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/smart-sections.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/smart-sections-300x210.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/smart-sections-768x538.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, you can quickly add the section you require and customize it as you like in just a few clicks. </p>\n\n\n\n<h3>6. High Converting Page Elements</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from the standard content blocks such as headline, text, and image, SeedProd lets you add advanced blocks that help you engage visitors and generate more leads.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>These blocks include giveaways, <a href=\"https://www.isitwp.com/best-wordpress-testimonial-plugins/\" title=\"11 Best WordPress Testimonial Plugins to Add Social Proof\">testimonials</a>, ratings, social sharing, countdown timer, and more. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"405\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/countdown-timer.jpg\" alt=\"countdown timer\" class=\"wp-image-261100\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/countdown-timer.jpg 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/countdown-timer-300x157.jpg 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/countdown-timer-768x401.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The blocks are designed to make your online marketing efforts easier.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3>7.

They can help you get more leads and overcome sales objections. Plus, it&#8217;s faster and easier than sending an email to contact you so they definitely improve user experience too.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re building a contact form, you need to keep the following points in mind:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>User-friendly: </strong>Visitors should be able to send their messages and other details directly from your site. </li><li><strong>Get the Right Information:</strong> Ask only for the information you want from your visitors such as their phone number, email address, and more. </li><li><strong>Spam Protection:</strong> Any form on a website is bound to get spam. A plugin can help you prevent spammers and hackers from submitting fake entries and even malware.</li><li><strong>Organized Data:</strong> The data you get from contact forms is valuable. As more users submit the form, your data could easily get lost. Organizing your form entries from the start is the right way to go.</li><li><strong>Lead Generation:</strong> Take the opportunity to ask users if you can add them to your email list so you can keep them engaged with your weekly newsletter.</li><li><strong>Compliance:</strong> Many contact form builders provide the option to add a checkbox for asking the user&#8217;s permission to contact them. You can easily comply with GDPR rules. </li></ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With that said, let’s start our step-by-step guide on how to add a contact form to your WordPress website.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2>The BEST Way to Add a Contact Form in WordPress</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you’re going to create a contact form on WordPress, then you should use the very best plugin on the market.

You can send form notifications and confirmations to:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Notify yourself and your team members about new form submissions</li><li>Send users an email to confirm their submissions.</li><li>Show a confirmation or thank your message after a successful form submission</li><li>Redirect customers to another page after they submit their form</li></ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To set up email notifications, open the <strong>Settings » Notification</strong> tab on the left menu of the form builder.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, the admin notification is already set up. This will send an email to the website admin whenever there is a new form submission.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <strong>Send to Email Address</strong> field, you can add more email addresses of your team members as well. Just make sure you separate them with commas.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"464\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/form-notifications.png\" alt=\"form notifications\" class=\"wp-image-265190\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/form-notifications.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/form-notifications-300x180.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/form-notifications-768x460.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What’s more is that you can set up a notification for your users and send them automated confirmation emails. For this, simply click on the <strong>Add New Notification</strong> button.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>To add the email address of the user, click on the <strong>Show Smart Tags</strong> option and select the <strong>Email</strong> form field.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"465\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/user-notification.png\" alt=\"user notification add a contact form to your wordpress website\" class=\"wp-image-265191\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/user-notification.png 775w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/user-notification-300x180.png 300w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/user-notification-768x461.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you can customize the subject line, form name, and email body. If you want to show the form submission details on the email, use the {all_fields} smart tag.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will automatically retrieve the data from the form submission and add them to the email notification.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"679\" height=\"504\" src=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/user-notification-message.png\" alt=\"user notification message add a contact form to your wordpress website\" class=\"wp-image-265192\" srcset=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/user-notification-message.png 679w, https://www.isitwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/user-notification-message-300x223.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 679px) 100vw, 679px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, you can set up the confirmation message that is displayed on the front end of your WordPress site after users submit the form.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this, click on the <strong>Confirmations</strong> tab on the settings page.

So it comes as no surprise that Google continues to emphasize site speed in its search algorithm. The higher the page speed, the better your search rankings, and the more organic traffic you can attract.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we will share the best WordPress caching plugins to boost your site speed.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But first, let&#8217;s learn about what caching is and the benefits of using a caching plugin on your site.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Why Do You Need a WordPress Caching Plugin?</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A cache is the collection of data that is stored temporarily to make computers, browsers, and apps load quickly. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the help of a caching plugin, you can also enable cache on your WordPress site. This plugin generates static HTML pages of your website and saves them on your server.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, each time a user tries to access your website, your caching plugin serves up the lighter HTML page instead of processing the comparatively heavier WordPress PHP scripts. This improves page loading time and the overall performance of your site.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use caching plugins to:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Increase your website&#8217;s speed and reduce page load time</li><li>Improve user experience as everything works faster and smoother</li><li>Boost SEO rankings as search engines love a fast loading site</li></ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you set up a caching plugin on your site, it will handle all the technical work while you just have to click a few buttons to make your site incredibly faster. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, let&#8217;s dive into our list of the best caching plugins for WordPress.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3>12 Best WordPress Caching Plugins</h3>\n\n\n\n<ol><li><a href=\"#wpr\">WP Rocket</a>: Most Popular Premium Cache Plugin</li><li><a href=\"#wpo\">WP-Optimize</a>: All-in-one WordPress Optimization Plugin </li><li><a href=\"#sg\">SG Optimizer</a>: Free WordPress Plugin by SiteGround</li><li><a href=\"#wsc\">WP Super Cache</a>: Cache Plugin from WordPress.com</li><li><a href=\"#wtc\">W3 Total Cache</a>: Developer Friendly WordPress Cache Plugin</li><li><a href=\"#wfc\">WP Fastest Cache</a>: Simple Caching Plugin for WordPress</li><li><a href=\"#cc\">Comet Cache</a>: Free WordPress Caching Plugin</li><li><a href=\"#ce\">Cache Enabler</a>: Best Lightweight WordPress Cache Plugin</li><li><a href=\"#hb\">Hummingbird</a>: Freemium Speed Optimization Plugin</li><li><a href=\"#hc\">Hyper Cache</a>: Yet Another Free WordPress Cache</li><li><a href=\"#lsc\">LiteSpeed Cache</a>: Best All-in-One Site Acceleration Plugin</li><li><a href=\"#ao\">Autoptimize</a>: Most Compatible Caching Plugin</li></ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at the best WordPress caching plugins available on the market.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"wpr\"><a href=\"https://www.isitwp.com/refer/wp-rocket/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">1.

After processing heavy WordPress PHP scripts on your site, WP Super Cache serves the static HTML file to the vast majority of your website visitors.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>WP Super Cache offers 3 caching modes.

With this, you won’t have to edit PHP files, and your .htaccess file doesn’t need to be configured.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>You also get the Expert mode which is the fastest caching method to serve super cached HTML files to users. But, it requires you to modify your .htaccess files.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, there is a WP Super Caching method that is used to cache pages for known users (the ones who log into your site, leave comments, etc.). Though it’s the most flexible caching method, it’s slightly slower compared to other methods.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more, you can check our complete <a href=\"https://www.isitwp.com/wordpress-plugins/wp-super-cache/\" title=\"WP Super Cache Review 2022: Is It the Best WordPress Caching Plugin?\">WP Super Cache review</a>!</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Highlights:</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Beginner-friendly interface</li><li>Cache rebuilding feature</li><li>Garbage collection to clean out old files and optimize your site</li><li>Integration with Content Delivery Network (CDN) services</li></ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pricing:</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>Free.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Get started with WP Super Cache today</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"wtc\"><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">5.

It&#8217;s a big part of our business. And I think it&#8217;s like WordPress is a big part of all the hosting company, company’s, businesses, you know? So for us, it is like, we want to make it better. We want to give back. We want to understand, you know, where we can contribute the most. And we see it as a, you know, win, win, win situation for everyone, for clients, for the whole ecosystem.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for us as a business, of course!</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<strong>Milana Cap </strong>00:00:32]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>My favorite WordPress component is WP CLI. That&#8217;s my crush, haha, because I love terminal. I love doing it. I&#8217;m not a really UI type of person, I get lost in UI. But in terminal, you just type command and it does what you want. And a WP CLI is much more powerful than WordPress dashboard. You can do so many things there and you can have fun.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uh, so that&#8217;s my go-to tool!</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<strong>Josepha Haden Chomphosy </strong>00:01:10]&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 host, Josepha Haden Chomphosy.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here we go!</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<strong>Josepha Haden Chomphosy </strong>00:01:36]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many, many people were at WordCamp Europe a couple of weeks ago. And at the end, Matt and I closed out the event sessions with a little question and answer time from the community. I was excited to see everyone and excited to answer their questions. But as with all spur of the moment answers, I experienced this <em>l&#8217;esprit de l&#8217;escalier </em>and I found that there were a few things that I would have answered a little more completely if I had taken more than two seconds to think about them.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So today I&#8217;m going to augment some of the answers from that session with a little more context and clarity. There was a question from Laura Byrne about favorite blocks in recent WordPress releases. And given that I was exclusively holding WordCamp Europe information in my brain at the time, I couldn&#8217;t think of which block was my favorite. While I was sitting there on that stage,</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I realized that one of my favorite things about WordPress’s 6.0 release, like Matt, wasn&#8217;t really a block, but it was a functional workflow sort of thing. So my favorite thing was the ability to lock blocks, but I mean, the question was about favorite blocks. And so I do know that some of the most anticipated blocks are the Flexbox layout blocks. Whew. What a sentence!</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<strong>Josepha Haden Chomphosy </strong>00:02:46]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to say that three times fast! Those blocks are the Flexbox layout blocks, they are sort of shortcuts that show up when you&#8217;re selecting multiple blocks and allow for easy side-by-side layouts. I&#8217;m not explaining it in a way that does it much justice, but I will share a link in the show notes that has more information and you can kind of see how empowering that particular block is in the block editor.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next question I wanted to give a little more context to came from Courtney Robertson. She asked about how to make translated content more readily available on learn.wordpress.org. My answer was pretty far ranging and talked about why it&#8217;s harder to commit to prioritizing that over, for my example, translating WordPress core.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I also understand that there are people who want to help and just need someone to point them in the right direction. And so I want to be clear that it is possible to have workshops in any language on learn.wordpress.org right now. We just don&#8217;t have a lot of people contributing those translations.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So there are conversations going on right now in the training team about using Glotpress on learn.wordpress.org, and also how to translate subtitles. So, if you are looking for ways to give back through translation and training is an important kind of area of your focus. I will have links to both of those things in the show notes as well.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<strong>Josepha Haden Chomphosy </strong>00:04:11]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also gave a quick answer, uh, after this question about how hard it is to recognize contributions that are separate from a major event or major release. In this case, when I say recognize, that&#8217;s recognized as in thank, not recognize as in, know it exists. In case it&#8217;s not clear why that was connected, why that answer was connected to the question, training materials are self-serve and not always specific to individual releases of WordPress.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So that means the maintenance of any content around training happens routinely over the course of time, rather than because of a specific release or a WordCamp. What sometimes can make it a little harder to entice people to join us in that work.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And now the third question I&#8217;d like to tackle is the one that came from Megan Rose. She asked how we can encourage better diversity as we go back to in-person events. My answer was more about the big picture, program-wide work that has been done and specific awarenesses that I, as a leader, have been keeping top of mind. That answer is still true and is still important, but again, it doesn&#8217;t really help anyone who&#8217;s wondering how they can show up today in their own communities, and do the hard work of fostering an inclusive space there so that we can confidently welcome more diverse voices together.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<strong>Josepha Haden Chomphosy </strong>00:05:27]</p>\n\n\n\n<p>A great place to start is to have conversations with people who aren&#8217;t like you and really listen. Also recognizing that we all come from different backgrounds that give us more or less opportunity and always be asking yourself, who is missing from this conversation and why, how can I find them and invite them into our own WordPress spaces?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that all kind of feels right up your alley, I would check out the show notes. I&#8217;ll have some links in there to the community team’s site, as well as a few posts that will help you to explore that a bit further as well.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were also a couple of questions about market share slash usage of WordPress, and Five for the Future that I really do want to answer, but as I was writing up the context and just kind of exploring the questions that people were raising, it turned out to really be quite a big set of answers.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I will do those in either two separate episodes of their own or one surprisingly long, for me, episode. And so there you have it, a lightning round, deep dive on a few questions from WordCamp Europe.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<strong>Jonathan Desrosiers </strong>00:06:41]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah, it&#8217;s definitely great to be back in person. Um, it&#8217;s been a long two years, two or three years for a lot of people and it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s great that we&#8217;re such an asynchronous community and we can all stay connected online through Slack and different means. Um, but there are some things that you can&#8217;t replace, like making friends with people and learning people&#8217;s demeanors and having some discussions in person that you can&#8217;t replace.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so, uh, I&#8217;m really excited to see people I haven&#8217;t seen in a long time. Meet new people and, um, you know, have some of those discussions here today in Portugal.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<strong>Josepha Haden Chomphosy </strong>00:07:21]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which then brings us to our small list of big things.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you missed the announcement, WordCamp Europe will be in Athens next year. And the call for organizers is open already. It&#8217;s an experience that is absolutely irreplaceable. So I&#8217;ll link to that in the show notes, in case you&#8217;ve always wanted to give back to WordPress that way.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second thing on my list is that work on the next major release of WordPress is already underway. There is a post with roadmap info that was published recently, as well as a slightly more casual thread on Twitter. I&#8217;ve linked both of those in the show notes, so that you have some concept of what it is that we are aiming for in 6.1, and also a concept of where to go to get started working on it if that&#8217;s what you feel like doing, uh, for the next three to four months– 120 days, roughly.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uh, and finally. This is less of like a thing to be aware of in the next two weeks and kind of a little WordPress project tool tip. Did you know that we have a calendar that shows all meetings for all teams all week long? It will make you feel tired by the amount of work that gets done in the WordPress project every week, but it&#8217;s right there on make.wordpress.org/meetings.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So you never have to wonder where folks are meeting to talk about things ever again. 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\n\n\n<p>[<strong>Santana Inniss &amp; Héctor Prieto </strong>00:09:11]&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hello!

Yes, you can be connected. You can have great relationships online and everything, but the real deal is in real life. That’s where you make the actual connections. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You have things you say that you then in real life have time to correct if that wasn’t the intent that you actually had. All of these little things make up what that glue actually consists of, so not having that for two years creates a like a vacuum of things that are not seen, not communicated, not spoken about, not processed.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;There have been companies started from WordCamps.

In the Q&amp;A following his <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/state-of-the-word-2021-wordpress-passes-43-market-share-looks-to-expand-the-commons-through-openverse\">2021 State of the Word</a> address, he said, &#8220;Gutenberg is something even bigger than WordPress, which is basically saying how do we edit and create the web? And how can we get as many people, both proprietary and open source collaborating on that as possible?&#8221; </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Making Gutenberg available to the broader web was part of the reasoning behind <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/proposal-and-steps-to-dual-license-gutenberg-under-the-gpl-and-mpl\">dual-licensing the project</a> under the GPL and MIT. Proprietary, and particularly mobile application use (where the GPL is not common), is better supported by the MIT license. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gutenberg is already finding a destiny of its own outside of WordPress. Projects like <a href=\"https://www.drupal.org/project/gutenberg\">Drupal Gutenberg</a> and <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/laraberg-a-gutenberg-implementation-for-laravel-is-now-in-beta\">Laraberg</a> were some the early seeds of the wider Gutenberg ecosystem, demonstrating that communities other than WordPress find value in the project and can adapt it for use with their applications. At WordCamp Europe, Mullenweg announced that both <a href=\"https://www.tumblr.com/\">Tumblr</a> and <a href=\"https://dayoneapp.com/\">Day One</a> are now testing Gutenberg in their web apps. </p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Day One web, currently in internal alpha, is following soon.

It&#8217;s opt-in for now while it&#8217;s still being tested. </p>\n\n\n\n<img />\n\n\n\n<p>Activating the beta unlocks the new Gutenberg-powered editor with redesigned buttons and icons. Users can post a series of multiple blocks in what feels like a mini, pared-back post editor. Certain blocks can be dragged and dropped into a different order on the draft, but this is still a little buggy. Tumblr&#8217;s editor is fun to use compared to WordPress&#8217; version of Gutenberg which does a lot more but at the expense of having to support many more settings and controls. </p>\n\n\n\n<img />\n\n\n\n<p>When <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/automattic-acquires-tumblr-plans-to-rebuild-the-backend-powered-by-wordpress\">Automattic acquired Tumblr</a> in 2019,  Mullenweg was forthright about his intention to replace the Tumblr backend with WordPress.  </p>\n\n\n\n<p>“WordPress is an open source web operating system that can power pretty much anything, including Tumblr.com, but it’s also a large property so will take a bit to figure out and migrate,” Mullenweg said.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two years later, in November 2021, the Tumblr changelog <a href=\"https://changes.tumblr.com/post/668673552865804288/tuesday-november-23rd-2021\">noted</a> that the development team was working on a new major version of the beta post editor on web, leveraging parts of Gutenberg. In a Twitter <a href=\"https://twitter.com/matias_ventura/status/1530212971150028801\">conversation</a> discussing Tumblr&#8217;s architecture, Gutenberg lead architect Matías Ventura said its implementation of Gutenberg stores everything as JSON, whereas WordPress serializes HTML as the default experience because it needs to work with the ecosystem. In both cases, blocks are created as structured data.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m personally looking forward to when you could just copy and paste blocks between platforms like you do with patterns!&#8221; Matías Ventura said when tweeting out the screenshots of Gutenberg on Tumblr and Day One. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>This sort of interoperability across apps is similar to the idea behind the <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/block-protocol-project-aims-to-create-universal-block-system-may-collaborate-with-gutenberg\">Block Protocol</a> project. It aims to build a block system for embedding interactive blocks in any web application. As more of the web embraces the block paradigm, it would be helpful to be able to share blocks across a standardized protocol.  </p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Block Protocol spec is being developed by the team at <a href=\"https://hash.ai/blog/announcing-the-block-protocol\">HASH</a>, which is currently <a href=\"https://hash.ai/careers/wordpress-plugin-developer\">hiring a WordPress developer</a> to create a Block Protocol Gutenberg plugin. The goal of the plugin is to &#8220;unlock the entire Block Protocol ecosystem of blocks for all users of WordPress (both technical and not),&#8221; which would extend the range of blocks available to Gutenberg users. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Block Protocol project was announced, it didn&#8217;t seem likely that it would use Gutenberg as the basis for its spec. However, the wide usage of Gutenberg across the web cannot be ignored. This forthcoming plugin appears to be more like a bridge or connector that ensures Gutenberg is still relevant in the Block Protocol ecosystem. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress is an important player in the creation of both blocks and an intuitive editor for publishing them, as the primary incubator for Gutenberg&#8217;s initial development and essentially its first adopter. The block editor making its way to more apps like Tumblr and Day One is a major milestone, and it&#8217;s inspiring to see collaboration on an initiative connecting Gutenberg users with another global registry of blocks designed to move across apps on the web.</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, 10 Jun 2022 19:40:35 +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:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:5;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:139:\"WPTavern: WordPress 6.1 to Focus On Refining Full-Site Editing, Next Phase Collaboration and Multilingual Features Anticipated in 2023-2025\";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:30:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=135186\";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:149:\"https://wptavern.com/wordpress-6-1-to-focus-on-refining-full-site-editing-next-phase-collaboration-and-multilingual-features-anticipated-in-2023-2025\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:7918:\"<p>Gutenberg lead architect Matías Ventura has identified refinements to experiences introduced in 5.9 and 6.0 as the main goal for the upcoming 6.1 release.

(The video from the livestream is embedded below.)</p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n\n</div>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress core contributors plan to close out the Customization phase before beginning on the Collaboration phase in 2023. During the Q&amp;A session, one of the polyglot contributors asked why WordPress is waiting until Phase 4 to begin working on multilingual features in core. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Part of the reason we don&#8217;t want to set data now and then work on the feature later is that we have learned every time that it&#8217;s hard to create the architecture for something without creating the user experience,&#8221; Mullwenweg said. &#8220;When we try to do one without the other, for example with the REST API we got into the REST API before we were fully using it ourselves. As we started to do first-party usage of the REST API with Gutenberg, we found a bunch of gaps. I would feel particularly bad if those gaps meant plugins had been building on the wrong architecture for a few years.&#8221;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mullenweg also explained why he believes it&#8217;s important to prioritize Phase 3, which he referred to as &#8220;workflow,&#8221; before the multilingual features:</p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Phase 3 is Workflow. This is basically where we&#8217;re going to take real-time co-editing into WordPress, much like Google docs or something else. When you log in to edit a page or your sites or a template or something, if someone else is in there at the same time, you&#8217;ll be able to see them moving around. Of course, we want to make sure we have version control built in like we do for posts and pages, into as many parts of WP as possible, so if someone makes a mistake or an edit to the site, you will be able to roll it back easily, which I think is really key for giving people confidence.</p></blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>He emphasized the importance of establishing the collaboration architecture before introducing multilingual support into core.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I think that the workflows around multilingual are important,&#8221; Mullenweg said. &#8220;So where is the content being canonically created, how do changes flow from one language to another, maybe even bi-directionally, depending on the people editing the site, and how that affects the rest of the templates &#8211; things that are outside the post and page content.&#8221;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also noted the many third-party multilingual solutions that already exist will have a transition period as core integrates these features.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I expect that much like has happened with page builders, once there&#8217;s something in core, they will either have a data migration path or integrate with whatever foundation we put into core,&#8221; Mullenweg said. &#8220;But I would like to set expectations that it&#8217;s probably more of a 2024 or 2025 initiative for WordPress. And we want to get these other phases done really well first. Why do we have to go in order? We can only do so much at once.&#8221;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the person who had asked the question pressed for a reason why a contingency work group could not begin now, Mullenweg encouraged any eager contributors to put their work into a plugin. He referenced Gutenberg, which began as a plugin and was tested for years before bringing it into core. </p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>I would say when we look at phase 4, the first thing we&#8217;re going to look at is how all the plugins are doing it. Perhaps one of those plugins could even become the basis for what comes into core. It&#8217;s OK if the plugins take different architectural approaches, because we want to see pluses and minuses of those. Remember people use WordPress with millions and millions of posts and pages, sometimes tens of millions. We want this to scale, we want this to be performant, we want it to be accessible. Take all the things people know and trust about WordPress. and bring it to this functionality.</p></blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Mullenweg said he thinks multilingual is &#8220;probably going to be one of the most complex things we bring into core, even more so than blocks.&#8221; The reason behind this is because blocks took what WordPress did before and gave it a new interface on top of HTML.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Multilingual is taking every single thing inside of WordPress &#8211; tags, categories, pages, templates, and making it multi-factorial so it&#8217;s like a factorial amount of complexity on top of what right now is more of a one-to-one relationship,&#8221; he said. &#8220;If you have some ideas for how to do it, get involved with one of the existing plugins or start your own.&#8221;</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 09 Jun 2022 20:14:30 +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:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:6;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:104:\"Do The Woo Community: Extending Your WordPress Plugin for WooCommerce with Mark Westguard and Lesley Sim\";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:28:\"https://dothewoo.io/?p=71684\";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:50:\"https://dothewoo.io/extending-plugins-woocommerce/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:443:\"<p>Lesley wants to add WooCommerce functionality to her WordPress plugin.

Strattic will continue operating as &#8220;Strattic by Elementor&#8221; and the team will remain as its own unit within the company.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elementor founders Yoni Luksenberg and Ariel Klikstein met Strattic founder and CEO Miriam Schwab 10 years ago when they attended a WordCamp she organized in Jerusalem. The following year Elementor sponsored the WordCamp she organized the in Tel Aviv.  In 2020, <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/elementor-raises-15-million-plans-to-invest-in-the-team-product-and-community\">Elementor raised $15M</a> its first round of funding, led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, after passing four million users.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Schwab founded Strattic in 2018 as the first WordPress hosting company to streamline the creation of static files managed via a headless install. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Very early on it became clear to us at Strattic that we had better make sure we support Elementor in the static versions of our sites,&#8221; Schwab said. &#8220;More and more users were coming to us with sites built on Elementor, which was a strong indication of the plugin’s growing adoption and popularity. We prioritized supporting it in general, including rolling out support for their forms, and most recently adding a Strattic publish button from the Elementor editor.&#8221;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past year, Elementor has been working to capture the market for the entire website creation process by offering hosting alongside its commercial website builder. Earlier this year, the company launched a Google Cloud-based website hosting service that includes Elementor Pro for $99/year. Elementor will promote the new static hosting service alongside its existing cloud service.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t speak exactly to what Elementor&#8217;s strategy is in terms of Strattic vis a vis their cloud offering, but Strattic will be a parallel offering, at least for the foreseeable future,&#8221; Schwab said.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elementor has often been <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/gutenbergs-faster-performance-is-eroding-page-builders-dominance\">criticized for making WordPress sites sluggish</a> so it&#8217;s easy to see the appeal that static hosting brings. Having more customers on Strattic might lessen the urgency of fixing Elementor&#8217;s well-documented speed issues. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This acquisition will allow us to leverage Strattic’s technology to build static websites, helping to solve stability, speed, and security issues in the dynamic sites space,&#8221; Elementor founder Yoni Luksenberg said.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;With static hosting, users can deploy their dynamic WordPress websites as static HTML/CSS replicas to global CDN networks, which drastically improves the performance of their sites and eliminates potential security vulnerabilities and site breakdowns during updates. With a dramatically reduced attack surface, WordPress vulnerabilities become irrelevant as security is no longer a defensive endeavor.&#8221;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elementor users who sign on for Strattic&#8217;s static hosting approach will have a more stable and secure experience, as the plugin and related third-party add-ons are <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/elementor-3-6-3-patches-critical-remote-code-execution-vulnerability\">frequently</a> <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/elementor-patches-xss-vulnerabilities-affecting-7-million-wordpress-sites\">patching</a> <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/essential-addons-for-elementor-patches-critical-security-vulnerability\">critical</a> <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/attackers-continue-to-exploit-vulnerabilities-in-the-plus-addons-for-elementor-plugin\">vulnerabilities</a>. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strattic and Elementor customers can expect deeper integration across these products in the future.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We already have great support for Elementor on our static sites, but of course there&#8217;s always room for improvement so we will be working with Elementor&#8217;s team to make the integration even better,&#8221; Schwab said. She also confirmed there are no pricing changes on the horizon for Strattic customers.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Right now everything will stay pretty much the same for Strattic users. We hope they&#8217;ll soon start to feel the benefit of us joining Elementor in terms of faster release cycles of amazing new features that will make the product even better.&#8221;</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, 08 Jun 2022 19:26:20 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";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:9;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:73:\"Do The Woo Community: WooCommerce Announces Functionality for Card Reader\";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:28:\"https://dothewoo.io/?p=71917\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:72:\"https://dothewoo.io/woocommerce-announces-functionality-for-card-reader/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:419:\"<p>The press release, received today, announces the features that allow fast transactions and automatic inventory syncing.</p>\n<p>&gt;&gt; The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://dothewoo.io/woocommerce-announces-functionality-for-card-reader/\">WooCommerce Announces Functionality for Card Reader</a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://dothewoo.io\">Do the Woo - a WooCommerce Builder Community</a>	.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 08 Jun 2022 15:25:43 +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:5:\"BobWP\";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:10;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:68:\"WPTavern: #29 – Remkus de Vries on How WordCamp Europe Got Started\";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:48:\"https://wptavern.com/?post_type=podcast&p=135131\";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:82:\"https://wptavern.com/podcast/29-remkus-de-vries-on-how-wordcamp-europe-got-started\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:34790:\"<p>On the podcast today we have <a href=\"https://remkus.devries.frl\">Remkus de Vries</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remkus is kicking off what might be described as a&nbsp; mini series on the Jukebox podcast.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week almost 3,000 WordPressers from all over the world gathered together in Porto, Portugal for the first in-person <a href=\"https://europe.wordcamp.org/2022/\">WordCamp Europe</a> since 2019.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expectations were high, and the event did not disappoint.

Wow, that is taking me a ways back. So I think the first time I, so I played with WordPress the first time for a couple of months before I did anything serious with it, but this is 2004. I had a bunch of clients at the time, which, we&#8217;re either on Mambo or Joomla, and the ones on Mambo, I was in the process of moving them over. Really didn&#8217;t like the process, but you do what you gotta do with the tools that you have. And at the end of 2005, if I remember correctly, WordPress introduced pages, which then made me switch every single client that I have, which was about 20. I ported their Joomla or Mambo theme over to WordPress because now we have static pages, and I haven&#8217;t looked back.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:04:30] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Been going strong ever since.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:04:32] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> Yeah. Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:04:33] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> We&#8217;re here to talk about WordCamp Europe because, well we&#8217;re at WordCamp Europe. Let&#8217;s talk about this one just specifically how much you&#8217;ve enjoyed it. When did you arrive?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:04:44] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> Monday.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:04:45] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So that was one, no two days before the contributor day. On none of the podcasts that we&#8217;ve recorded before have we talked about Porto the place or anything like that? So let&#8217;s do a little bit of that. I think this location is pretty spectacular. How are you enjoying Porto?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:04:59] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> Porto is very nice. It&#8217;s a little bit like home in terms of the weather. And it&#8217;s a lot not like home because there is elevation. For us, it&#8217;s a 35 minute walk to get here and we&#8217;ve tried quite a few different routes getting here. And whatever you pick, you always end up walking uphill. Which I found interesting, but it highlights the things I like about Porto, because there is nooks and crannies and corners and things you constantly find. Sure there&#8217;s architecture, but if I&#8217;m really honest, I&#8217;ve seen so many European cities, that is roughly the same everywhere. Yeah, the play with the hills and the twisty roads and things like that. I really enjoy it. Plus we&#8217;re close to the sea, as someone who grew up around water, I like that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:05:42] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Oh, it&#8217;s absolutely brilliant. I completely share your comment about the hills. So far, I&#8217;ve only walked up.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:05:48] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> So I&#8217;m here with my son and he keeps saying, uh, you&#8217;re getting old. And, and the last couple of days I take the Uber getting here and he&#8217;s said, I&#8217;m going to walk. I&#8217;m like, fine. I&#8217;m okay with that. I like the Uber now, cause I walked so much.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:06:01] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I&#8217;ve got to ask about your son. Is he into WordPress?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:06:05] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> Kinda, sort of. His number one passion, and that is in not just a capital P, but the whole word is in capitals is music. He is doing a Dutch version of Juilliard&#8217;s, if that rings a bell. So it&#8217;s a school that is essentially on the performance arts. I think the official name is the Academy of Pop Culture, and he does music. So that consumes his life. There have been periods where I have used him when we had client migrations. So he&#8217;s done content management mostly. So he understands WordPress. It just hasn&#8217;t built anything in it himself. So we drove up here, so it&#8217;s a father and son road trip, have fun together. and that sort of thing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:06:40] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> How long did it take to get here?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:06:41] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> We had a short break in a Bilbao. We spent the night there, so I think all in total 21 hours.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:06:48] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I didn&#8217;t know you brought your son. But he&#8217;s not here in the venue?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:06:51] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> He is.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:06:52] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So he&#8217;s taking part, he&#8217;s not just enjoying Porto?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:06:54] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> He likes to hang out with people I like to hang out with. So we were, we&#8217;re all good.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:06:57] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Ah, nice. And have you&#8217;ve been enjoying, again, we haven&#8217;t discussed this so far, a large proportion of the excitement about WordPress events, WordCamps in particular is the sort of stuff that goes on around the edges. You know, the hallway track. The after parties and all that. We haven&#8217;t had the after-party yet, but there&#8217;s been lots of social events organized in the evenings. Has that side been enriching and fun?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:07:17] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> Very much.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:07:18] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> You enjoy that bit as much as anybody?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:07:20] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> Absolutely.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:07:21] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Because I think one of the key components for people who want to be at these events, but maybe don&#8217;t want to be at these events if you know what I mean? You&#8217;re nervous. It&#8217;s all going to be about code. I don&#8217;t write code.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:07:31] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> No.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:07:33] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> There&#8217;s a load of social stuff going on.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:07:34] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> So, that whole chain of thought needs to stop anyway, because it is not about code. at one point I&#8217;ve I&#8217;ve been, quoted saying, I came for the software. I came home with family. So, if you keep that in mind, it means there&#8217;s a lot more going on than just this is the code we work with.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a CMS we work with and the CMS allows us to do things. And there are many other people that have the similar experience. Like it facilitates them, it empowers them. It&#8217;s not just the content creators themselves democratizing publishing. It&#8217;s not just that. There&#8217;s a whole ecosystem around of people being empowered to use a particular piece of software.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the fun thing about WordPress is, as it so happens that the large majority of people enjoying the software turn out also to like each other in real life. So the community part, and then the social component of that gets highlighted at WordCamps.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:08:26] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So is it true to say that you, I know that you just said it and it sounded like a trope, but hand on heart, you&#8217;ve got real life friends, in the strictest sense of the word that you never would have known.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:08:37] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> Absolutely.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:08:38] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah. That&#8217;s really fascinating.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:08:39] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> Yeah, and not a few.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:08:40] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah. You are quite gregarious, I think. You are very good at, being out there.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:08:45] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> I&#8217;m not necessarily an extrovert but, among friends, among like-minded it doesn&#8217;t cost me energy. So I&#8217;m, I&#8217;m a very comfortable semi introvert.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:08:53] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah. Let&#8217;s talk to the people out there though who may be introverted. Who think, you know what? There&#8217;s no way I&#8217;m going to a WordPress event. There&#8217;s no way I&#8217;m going to a WordCamp, big one, like WordCamp Europe, or a smaller one that may be in a particular country. Just tell us a little bit about the stuff which is on hand to help them get through it. Cause I know there&#8217;s a lot of preparation and a lot of thought has been put in to make this as accessible as possible well, basically to quieten any nerves for anybody who may be just thinking, okay, this is not for me.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:09:20] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> So the only thing overwhelming that we cannot take away is the number of people, right? So if a small WordCamp for 200 people is a trigger for you, we can&#8217;t solve that. WordCamp Europe in the 2000 plus, is not going to solve that either, but what we can do is provide an open environment.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right? So what we do is we make sure that all the angles that we can cover, meaning if you&#8217;d like to sit aside in the corner, you can. There is space to do that, from within the rooms where the presentations are, to what you mentioned earlier, hallway tracks, right? There&#8217;s spaces, there&#8217;s hallways, there&#8217;s various places where you can hang out where you can sit where you can relax a bit, collect your thoughts if that&#8217;s needed, whatever.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the other thing you will find is, like I mentioned earlier, there&#8217;s a lot of like-minded people. And if you are, I think suffering is too big of a word, but if you are in need of anything, you will be spotted and someone will come and, uh, ask are you okay? Is there something I can do to help? So, the whole environment we have is to facilitate the most diverse audience you can think of. That includes the accessibility type of stuff. We have captioning for the live talks. We take into account that if someone creates a presentation, color contrast is correct. So color blinds. You know, I&#8217;m just giving random examples of things that think of in order to facilitate everyone as much as possible.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you&#8217;re an introvert, it&#8217;s going to cost you some energy, sure, but it&#8217;s also going to give you a lot. And at the very least it&#8217;s people you somewhat maybe already know from online interactions and stuff, especially Twitter is good at that. It&#8217;s going to help you cement that sort of relationship into a more, I&#8217;m sitting across from you now, uh, Nathan, and we&#8217;ve spoken quite a few times already, but this is the first time we&#8217;re properly sitting across each other. It&#8217;s different in real life than it is when you&#8217;re, through the digital world are connecting. So the advantage of that is tremendous.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:11:13] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I&#8217;m sitting across from you, as you just said, and you&#8217;ve got the lanyard around your neck and it&#8217;s got your name on it. And so if you wish to wear that, everybody can figure out what your name is. Actually, that really does prevent a lot of awkward moments because it&#8217;s totally okay to stare at that. I&#8217;ve done that so many times, hello, and you don&#8217;t have to say, what&#8217;s your name? You just go, oh, hi Remkus and so on.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But also curiously, and I think I&#8217;ve not seen this before. Well, I&#8217;ve not seen it at other events. Your lanyard yard has a green sticker. Why has it got a green sticker?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:11:43] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> So we&#8217;ve added, we&#8217;ve had this for a few additions now. So on your lanyard, like you said, it says your name and the sticker, that we have some sticker options and one of them has to indicate I&#8217;m okay with you if you approach me..</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m okay. if, if you want to start talking to me. And I am. But there&#8217;s also a sticker that indicates I&#8217;d rather keep my distance. And if, if I want to talk I&#8217;ll approach you instead of you me. So, you know, for those in need, it&#8217;s a great mechanism to help you be as comfortable as can be.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:12:11] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah. It&#8217;s because there are all sorts of people here. There are some fairly gregarious people, and if you have, if you&#8217;re just wandering around, there is a chance that you may be just spoken to by random people, cause that happens quite a lot. If you&#8217;re wearing the red one, so I&#8217;m guessing there&#8217;s red, yellow, amber and green, red basically indicates look, I&#8217;m happy to be in this environment, but I would rather it that you just left me to it. I&#8217;m wandering about, to stay wandering about by myself.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:12:37] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> Yeah. I don&#8217;t think the percentage that is using a red one is particularly that high, but it&#8217;s a mechanism that&#8217;s very easy to implement. It&#8217;s very easy if for those who actually need it to use it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:12:48] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> There&#8217;s loads of other things, there&#8217;s quiet spaces, there&#8217;s places where you can go and just be quiet. There&#8217;s childcare for, from really early ages, right up 16. If you to take, take that on board, you know, so if the impediment to coming is that you&#8217;ve got children, well it need not be, I can&#8217;t speak for the other events elsewhere, but this one, that&#8217;s happening. There&#8217;s also a ton of nice food, and there&#8217;s a ton of space outside. And we&#8217;re lucky enough that in Porto, we&#8217;ve really managed to avoid the poor weather which was predicted to land.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:13:17] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> Well, we had a bit of the rain yesterday, but you know, it&#8217;s fine.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:13:19] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> But there&#8217;s tons of outdoor space, so there&#8217;s lots of opportunities to just go and hang out. Yeah, there&#8217;s absolutely loads put on. Right, but the question remains is why are you here talking about this? And the reason you&#8217;re here talking about this is because you were one of the founders of the whole enterprise.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re at year 10 and there&#8217;s badges and posters all over the place saying happy birthday. Ten years old. You&#8217;re like the father of this along with other mothers and fathers.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:13:49] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> Yes. Yes. So the very first WordCamp I went to was WordCamp Netherlands, and it was also the very first WordCamp I organized. So, what that did is introduced a lot of people from the European continent came to the first WordCamp Netherlands. Through that I got to meet other people that I enjoyed spending time with. One of them was uh, Zé Fontainhas from Portugal. Over the next two years, we found each other at various WordCamps in Europe.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>We both quite quick landed on the idea together that, wouldn&#8217;t it be great if we would have one event in Europe uniting all of Europe as a community? Because we looked at the United States and they have, at that time they had WordPress San Francisco, which is now moving around and called WordCamp US. So we saw there is no European equivalent of it. Fast forward another year, we were in January 2012. We were with a bunch of friends, we were in what we call WP on tour. We rented an incredibly nice and a very, very interesting villa, ask me later. Yeah, so we introduced the idea to other folks there. We got a lot of excitement about it. And then as it so happens, Zé and I, and some other friends were invited for the inaugural WordPress community summit in 2012, October, where Matt and the representative of WordPress Central was also going to be. So we pitched the idea there.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>We had to do some convincing and explaining like, why? Because the rule at the time was you cannot do regional WordCamps. It has to be city-based. Especially this large of a region, Europe sounds like one thing, but it most certainly is not, depending on whichever definition you look up. We eventually got the go ahead, and with, with the slight contingent if I remember correctly, like, we&#8217;ll see how it goes, if it works ,out great, and if it doesn&#8217;t, you know, we tried. that&#8217;s essentially how this whole thing started becoming a thing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:15:42] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Where was the first actual one?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:15:46] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> In Leiden, the Netherlands.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:15:47] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Let&#8217;s just draw out over those 10 years where we&#8217;ve got, but let&#8217;s just quickly paint the picture where we are today. WordCamp Europe, 2022. I think correct me if I&#8217;m wrong. 2,700 attendees. I don&#8217;t know how many volunteers, but many, many hundreds, I think because there are, yeah, there&#8217;s t-shirts everywhere. So we&#8217;re definitely I would imagine over 3000 people involved. So let&#8217;s go back 10 years. What did that look like?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:16:16] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> I think we sold 832 tickets and we had about 780 people actually showing up. So the actual turnout percentage was extremely high, but we were already happy we were past 500. Cause we had no idea where it was going to land. Right, so at the time, we started organizing it, with selling tickets early 2013. And we had kind of an idea of how many we should be able to get in terms of attendees, we didn&#8217;t know.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So at that time countries like France had a small but upcoming WordPress community. Spain was very active. The Netherlands, I was quite active. Portugal as well. But, Italy for instance was fragmented. Serbia close to non-existent, and I think you see where I&#8217;m going with. The whole goal was for us to unite, to be in the same room, talk to each other, learn about each other and see that we are, we have a common goal.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was the purpose of working in Europe. But we didn&#8217;t know how many people see the same purpose. See the same benefit. So we had initially said, you know, 500, we&#8217;re good, we&#8217;re good. Nice.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:17:24] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So in what ways was it different? The reason I asked that question is because, I&#8217;ve only been to two WordCamp Europes. I went to the previous one in Berlin, which was actually now three years ago. Paint a picture of the difference between what it was like in the first one and what it&#8217;s like now. And the reason I&#8217;m asking that is because here it really, really feels incredibly slick and professional. They both had that feel about them. Was it always thus, or were the first ones a bit more cottage industry? Just tell us what was different.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:17:56] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> I&#8217;d like to think that from the experience of those who were attending, it has been a good experience from the early beginning. Having said that there is a lot of room for improvement as we were doing the first one, we quickly realized there was a lot of things we could do better, should do better. All that. But I think the challenge more has been, as we grew, the amount of effort you have to put in is not, in my experience. is not a linear one. It&#8217;s more of a, what do you call that in English?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:18:27] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Parabola.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:18:28] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> Parabola, there you go. So, as you mentioned, there was a lot of volunteers here because the amount of that is just vastly increased. So Yes, there&#8217;s a lot of things that have been much smoother and better taken care of. At the end of WordCamp Europe in Leiden, all of us on the organizing team were absolutely exhausted. Like full on. I&#8217;m not saying they&#8217;re not exhausted now here, but I&#8217;m also telling you it&#8217;s quite different to the level of stress that we had that first time, because nobody knew.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every single person there had organized WordCamps before. So we picked that. Some had less experience or maybe just a meetup type of stuff but everybody had some type of experience. So we leaned on each other mostly. But the size is the quantifier there, that determines how much more you have to do. At every single WordCamp after, I get stopped by people all the time, saying hi, some will say, how much they&#8217;ve enjoyed every single one since the first one and all that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And uh, some will start reminding me of things happened during the first one or the second one, even. I go like, yeah, I don&#8217;t know. Cos it&#8217;s been a blur. I don&#8217;t know how many kilometers I walked that first one, but it&#8217;s been a lot just in the venue. Cause I was running back and forth constantly because there&#8217;s all these little things we need to take care of in the moment. Now, we know all those things. So we do take care of that before it actually happens. So it&#8217;s, you know, it&#8217;s most certainly has done way more professional.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Media coverage is one, but, the video recording is another. The captioning. You know, everything we can do to make it better, that has happened continuously. So yes, I think it was quite all right, the first organization. But it&#8217;s gotten way better.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:20:11] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> It really does feel like Google IO or something like that, you know, incredibly professional and incredibly well managed.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:20:17] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> That&#8217;s a great compliment.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:20:18] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Do you see events like this as, they&#8217;re a nice thing to do. You know, you turn up your watch speakers, you hang out and you make friends and all of that kind of stuff. Is it, is it more? Is it more the glue that binds the community together?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:20:32] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> It&#8217;s both.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:20:32] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, because the reason I&#8217;m asking that is because in the last, everybody knows what happened over the last two years. I don&#8217;t need to spell it out, but we had a hiatus, a couple of years. Kind of feels to me, as if things went off the rails a bit with the community. Not like it felt a pieces, but it just had to adapt and feels like there&#8217;s this collective sigh of relief and almost every conversation that I had in the first day for the first few hours until everybody got out of their system was, oh, it&#8217;s so nice to be back.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:21:00] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> Yeah, and it is, it is. I think the glue part is way more important than people thought that it was. You have the same thing happening. So you and I meet over, you know, when I join your podcast, you and I, we do it over a digital connection. It&#8217;s a small screen. It shows a part of your body and it has a diminished version of you. And that&#8217;s vice versa. So there&#8217;s a layer of information I&#8217;m not getting.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I think you can say the same thing for what we&#8217;re seeing here. Yes, you can be connected. You can have great relationships online and everything, but the real deal is in real life. That&#8217;s where you make the actual connections. As you mentioned before we started the podcast, you said, I can&#8217;t believe how big you are. So that&#8217;s the thing I keep hearing, right. but you see that in real life. That&#8217;s an example of information you don&#8217;t get when you look at me, cause you have no idea what my surrounding and what. the proportions is. And that&#8217;s such a simple example, but there&#8217;s like, I look you straight in the eyes, that&#8217;s already different.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have things you say that you then in real life have time to correct If that wasn&#8217;t the intent that you actually had. All of these little things make up what that glue actually exists of so, not having that for two years creates a like a vacuum of things that are not seen, not communicated, not spoken about, not processed.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, there&#8217;ve been companies started from WordCamps. There have been mergers started. There have been friends made there have been marriages come from WordCamps. Everything happens when you&#8217;re together,. Uh, which is one of the prime goals that we had. So I know the theme here is the 10th edition. If I&#8217;m really honest, it&#8217;s not, it&#8217;s the eighth.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:22:39] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> That&#8217;s a good point. Ten years separated the first and the last.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:22:43] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> Yeah, So online costs me energy. So I barely, barely put any time and effort into that. In real life, gives me energy. As much energy as it costs. So you&#8217;re absorbing information all day. You talk to people all day, which you normally don&#8217;t do. You go out, have drinks, have fun, whatever. That costs energy, but the net result is I have energy. I get energized. Maybe that&#8217;s the better way. Online sucks the life out of me.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:23:11] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, that&#8217;s really interesting. And I think, from the core team, the message, I could be misrepresenting this, but I think that the message was that contributions dropped off a bit. People seem to be.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:23:24] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> I&#8217;m sure it has. I&#8217;m sure it has, but I think that&#8217;s, I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s necessarily something that&#8217;s attributed to not meeting in real life per se. I think that&#8217;s more attributed to stuff going on.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:23:35] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah. Would it be fair to say that during the last couple of years, you&#8217;ve sort of stepped away from WordPress a bit? You&#8217;ve a little bit less, less fired up about it. And, and are you back, are you back where you were a couple of, three years ago?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:23:47] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> I&#8217;m going to quote LL Cool J. LL Cool J said don&#8217;t call it a comeback, I&#8217;ve been here for years. So I&#8217;ve never really left, but I&#8217;ve most certainly moved to more lurking, on the side. Life and work was too busy to be as engaged as I was previously.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:24:03] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> If people want to get involved, they&#8217;ve got to commit a long time in advance to being a volunteer or an organizer.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:24:11] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> Not that long.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:24:13] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> How do they do it? Where do they go? What kind of channels do they need to be visiting?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:24:16] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> So, inside your WordPress dashboard, there&#8217;s a little widget and that tells you where there are meetups relative, close to your location. So that&#8217;s the first thing to check out. They don&#8217;t necessarily need volunteers yet, but it gives you, a, an idea to check out what&#8217;s going on.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>What are all those people are raving about, right? Why should I even bother going? Once you find one that you like, you&#8217;ll start meeting people, and maybe you want to use a WordCamp in, I live in the Netherlands. so maybe you want to use a WordCamp in Germany as a, as a nice excuse to get out. So you go to Germany, maybe from there you go like, hmm, interesting, I kind of want to see this grow further. I want to give this my a devotion and time. Every single WordCamp that is up and coming is on central.wordcamp.org. Check them out. Find one you like and see if they are looking for volunteers.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So maybe the call for volunteers hasn&#8217;t gone out yet. Maybe you would even like to speak. Maybe even you&#8217;d like to organize. Everything is possible. It&#8217;s open. And in some cases you need experienced organizers. In some cases there&#8217;s plenty of room for new people to learn. So we always include new people to learn. and that can be you. That can even be you Nathan.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:25:26] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yes, yes. I think I&#8217;ve found my niche. Sitting on a chair talking into a microphone.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:25:32] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> But you&#8217;re jokingly saying this, but that is actually part of what is contributing. It&#8217;s not a predefined thing, like you need to write code or you need to do translations or you need to help this or this or that. It is whatever helps the project. This is helping the project.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:25:44] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> There are literally hundreds of roles. I&#8217;ve been quite surprised by the different things I&#8217;ve seen people doing. Obviously there&#8217;s people standing, handing out microphones, there&#8217;s people, moving boxes. There&#8217;s people printing tickets. There&#8217;s people showing time. Yeah. You know, there&#8217;s people making sure that. Well there&#8217;s, yeah, yet, already done it?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:26:04] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:26:05] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> How did it go?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:26:05] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> Yesterday morning? I think fine. I forgot a few things, but that was to be expected.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:26:09] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Remkus de Vries. Thank you for joining us on the podcast today.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:26:12] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> Happy to have been here.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:26:13] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> One final question just before we end. 2023, are you going to be there?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:26:18] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:26:19] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Where is it?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:26:22] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> Europe.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:26:22] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> You know, don&#8217;t you?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:26:23] <strong>Remkus de Vries:</strong> I do.</p>\n</div>\";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, 08 Jun 2022 14:00:00 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:14:\"Nathan Wrigley\";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:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:104:\"Post Status: Post Status Comments (No. 10) — Nineteen Years of WordPress: A Look Back and a Look Ahead\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"https://poststatus.com/?p=98836\";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:45:\"https://poststatus.com/19-years-of-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:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:138:\"Mary Job, Nathan Wrigley, Naoko Takano, Olivia Bisset, Yvette Sonneveld, Taco Verdo, and Nyasha Green talk about WordPress as it turns 19.\";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, 07 Jun 2022 21:21:08 +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:12:\"David Bisset\";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:12;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:57:\"Post Status: 9 Things I Learned from WordCamp Europe 2022\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"https://poststatus.com/?p=98828\";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://poststatus.com/9-things-i-learned-from-wordcamp-europe-2022/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:205:\"A lot of interesting things surfaced in the open conversations with Matt and Josepha at WCEU.

Nevertheless, I wanted you to have all of below links, so here it is the Weekend Edition on a Tuesday 🙂  </p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first regional in-person WordCamp was a great start into the next phase of Community events.  Approx 800 people worked on the open-source project on Contributor Day and approx 1,500 more attendees joined in for talks, workshops, conversations at the WP Cafe, populated the Sponsor Hall and run into each other on the Hallway Track.  It was not without its challenges, though. Enforcing the in-door mask mandate was surprisingly difficult for an supposedly adult population. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, the organizers and volunteers with the help of the venue staff, sponsors and speaker produced a high-level extra-ordinary WordCamp together. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will have more insights from WordCamp Europe in following editions.  For now I leave you with an impression of the fabulous branding of <a href=\"https://europe.wordcamp.org/2022/organisers/#design-team\">WordCamp Europe design team</a>. Below you&#8217;ll find the links to the Live-streamed talks on YouTube. </p>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https://europe.wordcamp.org/2022/\"><img /></a>\n\n\n\n<p>The last two weeks were filled with lot of WordPress news, not all Block editor related, though. Enjoy the catch-up. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yours, 💕<br /><em>Birgit</em></p>\n\n\n\n<p>PS: More numbers: Five years ago, I started curating news about Gutenberg, after watching the first release video at WordCamp Europe, that took place in Paris in 2017. This year, WordCamp Europe celebrated its 10-year anniversary. Last week, Saturday was the 20-year anniversary of Pauli Systems, the web development company I founded in 2002 and closed earlier this year. Just saying. </p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-3 wp-block-group has-light-background-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<p><strong>Table of Contents</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-sortabrilliant-guidepost\"><ul><li><a href=\"https://gutenbergtimes.com/feed/#0-word-camp-europe\">WordCamp Europe</a></li><li><a href=\"https://gutenbergtimes.com/feed/#2-word-press-6-0\">WordPress 6.0 </a></li><li><a href=\"https://gutenbergtimes.com/feed/#3-gutenberg-13-3\">Gutenberg 13.3 </a></li><li><a href=\"https://gutenbergtimes.com/feed/#4-word-press-6-1\">WordPress 6.1 </a></li><li><a href=\"https://gutenbergtimes.com/feed/#4-b\">Miscellenous Block Editor news</a></li><li><a href=\"https://gutenbergtimes.com/feed/#5-word-press-social-learning-events\">WordPress Social Learning Events</a></li><li><a href=\"https://gutenbergtimes.com/feed/#6-other-word-press-events\">Other WordPress Events</a></li></ul></div>\n</div></div>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"0-word-camp-europe\">WordCamp Europe</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you didn&#8217;t get a chance to watch them on the live stream or want to follow-up on them, here are the links to YouTube for the Block-editor related talks Track 1.

This task can be a big hurdle for newcomers to the platform. The prospect of narrowing down the right plugin from a directory of <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/\">more than 59,000</a> can be daunting.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team behind <a href=\"https://rtcamp.com/\">rtCamp</a>, a 125-person agency and a WordPress VIP Gold agency partner, has launched a new tool called <a href=\"https://wpplugincompare.com/\">WordPress Plugin Compare Project</a> (WPPC) to help users extend WordPress with the right plugins for their needs. WPPC lets users search for plugins to compare and customize each selection displayed on the chart:</p>\n\n\n\n<img />\n\n\n\n<p>The chart displays the age of the plugin, when it was last updated, author, current version, required WP version, required PHP version, and tested up to WP version. It also shows important stats for ratings, total downloads, active installs, support requests and support score. Plugin data is refreshed twice per day, so it&#8217;s always up to date.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several major plugin categories where multiple plugins are competing against one another are good candidates for comparison using the WPPC tool, including e-commerce, SEO, analytics, social sharing, performance, block libraries, forms, and security, to name a few. Plug in a few of the top contenders and it&#8217;s easier to see at a glance how they compare in terms of popularity, maintenance, and support. </p>\n\n\n\n<img />\n\n\n\n<p>The comparisons can also be linked. For example, the <a href=\"https://wpplugincompare.com/compare?plugins=genesis-blocks,coblocks,kadence-blocks,otter-blocks\">block collection plugin comparison</a> above and the <a href=\"https://wpplugincompare.com/compare?plugins=contact-form-7,ninja-forms,formidable,wpforms-lite\">forms plugin comparison</a> below is available on the WPPC website. The comparison URL includes each of the four plugin slugs and the tool pulls up the chart on demand. That makes it easy to text or email someone who needs help selecting a plugin for a project. </p>\n\n\n\n<img />\n\n\n\n<p>rtCamp plans to expand the capabilities of the WPPC tool to include the following:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Additional parameters in the comparison table (e.g. supported languages, performance data, code quality, etc.)</li><li>Single plugin page with all the data laid out in a presentable manner</li><li>“Other plugins by the same author” page</li><li>A dedicated page with filters where one can filter across all 55K+ plugins</li></ul>\n\n\n\n<p>After testing the tool, I found the search to be a little buggy. Searching plugins by  name or slug sometimes doesn&#8217;t work correctly. Overall, it&#8217;s very easy to use and amazing how it pulls in all the plugins&#8217; details into the comparison table automatically. Additional columns could be helpful in certain categories where there are more than four decent plugin options.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>One feature that would be useful is the ability to filter the search to only show plugins that offer blocks or support the block editor. This could also work as one of the parameters in the comparison table. One of the most frustrating things about searching the WordPress Plugin Directory is sorting through to see which results support blocks. While you can browse <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/browse/blocks/\">block-enabled plugins</a>, there&#8217;s no easy way to search for block-enabled plugins only. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>rtCamp is aiming to raise the bar for free plugins hosted on WordPress.org with the WPPC tool. If it becomes more popular, plugin authors may feel more pressure to compete in their listings by providing more active maintenance and support. It also quickly identifies which plugins have been around the longest. Since WordPress.org is the primary distribution channel for many plugin businesses, a tool like this can quickly highlight any glaring deficiency in a product if its creators are not consistent with updates and support. These are important considerations when selecting a mission-critical tool, like forms or e-commerce, in a business or non-profit&#8217;s suite of plugins.</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, 06 Jun 2022 20:35:53 +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:\"Sarah Gooding\";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:16;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:35:\"Post Status: Post Status Notes #501\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"https://poststatus.com/?p=98546\";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:45:\"https://poststatus.com/post-status-notes-501/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1185:\"<strong>Elementor</strong> acquires <strong>Strattic</strong> • <strong>WP Engine</strong> acquires <strong>Delicious Brains</strong>\' plugins 🧠 • <em>When the Cathedrals own the Bazaars and Shopping Centers and you\'re in a strip mall with a fruit stand...</em> • <strong>Jetpack</strong> decouples • <strong>InstaWP</strong> gets seed funding from <strong>Automattic</strong> 🌱 • <strong>Automattic</strong> hire #2000 • World-class <strong>FSE</strong>, how? 🌐 • <strong>WCEU</strong> by the numbers • <strong>Weglot</strong> gives back • <strong>RoleUp</strong> rolls out • <strong>Tadlock</strong> exits <strong>WP Tavern</strong> 🍺 • Why \'why\' matters most • The Big 2-0 next year • All there is to know about core WordPress email notifications, documented ✉️ • System font stack check • Do not follow by default • <strong>Museum of Block Art</strong> opens 🎨 • Meet <strong>Yvonne Doll</strong> • Mostly modest WordPress wishlists • <strong>WooCommerce Experts</strong> to go global • How to do well in a downturn 📉 • Some things we don\'t — but ought to — talk about. 🐘 Silent no longer about Sustainability.\";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, 03 Jun 2022 22:33:31 +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:12:\"David Bisset\";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:17;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:100:\"WPTavern: Five for the Future Program Set To Adopt Official Definition for Pledges and Contributions\";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:30:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=135063\";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:111:\"https://wptavern.com/five-for-the-future-program-set-to-adopt-official-definition-for-pledges-and-contributions\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4824:\"<img />photo credit: <a href=\"https://stocksnap.io/photo/seed-tree-01MVFCVHOD\">Christian Joudrey</a>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress&#8217; <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/five-for-the-future/\">Five for the Future</a> program, an initiative that encourages organizations to contribute five percent of their resources to WordPress development, is poised to adopt an official definition for what constitutes pledges and contributions. Two weeks ago, WordPress Executive Director Josepha Haden Chomphosy <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/project/2022/05/20/defining-five-for-the-future-pledges-contributions/\">proposed</a> the program make a clear distinction between ecosystem contributions and core project contributions:</p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Participation in Five for the Future means consistent effort by an individual or a company via a Make WordPress team to directly support the WordPress open source project and the project’s current </strong><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/updates/2022/01/21/our-three-big-ideas-for-2022/\"><strong>big ideas</strong></a><strong>, rather than the sole benefit of a company or individual.</strong> Simply put, Five for the Future exists to collaboratively invest in the health of the WordPress project, ensuring its long-term sustainability and success.</p></blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Haden Chomphosy further clarified that certain contributions fall within a grey area but still fit within this definition, such as mataining WordPress.org, WordCamp.org, Rosetta networks, documentation, training, or speaking at meetups. She also specified another grey area that does not fit within the official definition. This includes things like creating WordPress sites, themes, plugins, or blocks, and providing support.  </p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;These activities are critical to extending the reach and utility of the WordPress project, but they are not considered part of making Five for the Future commitments,&#8221; Haden Chomphosy said.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;There are many important efforts and lots of incredible work performed outside of WordPress.org and Make Teams. While these are indispensable activities that further the WordPress ecosystem, Five for the Future is about ensuring that the WordPress project continues to be a fertile foundation for WordPress extenders and users.&#8221;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was always the unspoken understanding of the Five for the Future program but this proposal formalizes it ahead of building out official tracking efforts.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The general consensus in the resulting discussion was agreement on the first part of the definition, that the contribution must move the open source project forward. A few participants were not convinced that themes and plugins would not qualify as a contribution towards this goal.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I can’t help but wonder about the argument to be made that the creation of themes, plugins and blocks that are made freely available are also contributions that move WordPress forward,&#8221; GoDaddy-sponsored contributor Adam Warner said.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yoast-sponsored contributor Yvette Sonneveld said the term &#8220;grey area&#8221; has a negative connotation and that &#8220;all the activities are essential to keep the software and community healthy and thriving.&#8221;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I fully understand that these are harder to quantify,&#8221; Sonneveld said.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Personally, I agree that themes and plugins brought out under creative commons licenses also help the software and the community thrive, and should be included in the efforts that help the project move forward.&#8221;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The definition did not receive much pushback and appears to be already confirmed, as Automattic-sponsored community organizer Angela Jin <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/project/2022/05/23/request-for-feedback-recording-five-for-the-future-contributions/\">posted</a> three days later, asking for feedback on how to identify and record contirbutions. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Based on the definition we now have of 5ftF contributions, what other activity, specific to a Make Team or across multiple teams, should be recognized and recorded?&#8221; Jin said. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>The program&#8217;s activity is <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/five-for-the-future/issues\">tracked on GitHub</a>, where discussions are open on everything from stats to badges to tracking meetup attendance. Many of these are technical issues that will require building charts and dashboards. It will be interesting to see how  the community and meta teams tackle these challenges to track contributions across teams. Feedback on <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/project/2022/05/23/request-for-feedback-recording-five-for-the-future-contributions/\">contributions tracking</a> is still open in the comments of the post.</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, 03 Jun 2022 21:24:38 +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:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:18;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:71:\"Post Status: WooCommerce Function of the Week: wc_current_user_has_role\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"https://poststatus.com/?p=98538\";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:81:\"https://poststatus.com/woocommerce-function-of-the-week-wc_current_user_has_role/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:166:\"What if you want to show hidden information only to \"administrators\" or \"shop managers?\" What about displaying a custom \"My Account\" tab just for logged-in customers?\";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, 03 Jun 2022 17:57:48 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:15:\"Rodolfo Melogli\";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:19;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:51:\"WPTavern: InstaWP Gets Seed Funding From Automattic\";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:30:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=135047\";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:62:\"https://wptavern.com/instawp-gets-seed-funding-from-automattic\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2996:\"<p><a href=\"https://instawp.com/\">InstaWP</a> has received an undisclosed amount of <a href=\"https://instawp.com/story-of-instawp-and-investment-by-automattic/?1vt\">seed funding from Automattic</a>. The service <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/instawp-launches-new-service-for-disposable-wordpress-testing-sites\">launched in July 2021</a> as a quick way to set up testing or disposable WordPress sites and users frequently commented on remarkable speed of the tool, which spins up a site in less than a second.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Founder Vikas Singhal said the investment gives Automattic a percentage of future equity under a SAFE (simple agreement for future equity) arrangement. In order to receive the investment, Singhal was required to register InstaWP Inc. as an independent US-based organization.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;InstaWP has a vision of making it easy to get started with WordPress,&#8221; Singhal said.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Initally I thought InstaWP was just a disposable WP tool but fast forward eight months, it&#8217;s much more than that. It&#8217;s a workflow tool now, which makes working with WP 10x easier.&#8221;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>InstaWP provided an Agency plan for LearnWP to use during Social Learning Spaces, Calls for Testing, and similar uses. The fact that it&#8217;s being used in WordPress education, where some users are brand new to the platform, speaks to how user-friendly it is to fire up a new WordPress testing site.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Lots of plugin and theme authors use it for showcasing their product sandboxes,&#8221; Singhal said. &#8220;Agencies are using it to build and deliver websites for their clients. Many developers are using it for end to end testing as well.&#8221;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Singhal reports more than 23,000 sites have been created with InstaWP. The service currently has 1,600 free users and 50+ paid users. It offers paid plans from $9/month to $59/month and custom pricing for enterprise customers.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Singhal said the seed funding &#8220;should last for about next 18-24 months,&#8221; as InstaWP has ramped up hiring and marketing. He anticipates the company will be profitable by the end of the year and is open to more investors. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>InstaWP is working on developing native integrations for hosting providers, which would allow users to connect their accounts, see a list of existing sites or create new ones, and select a production site to &#8220;push&#8221; to from InstaWP. The company is currently working with Runcloud and GoDaddy.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We have come a long from being a disposable WP tool,&#8221; Singhal said. &#8220;InstaWP will become a great gateway to WordPress, covering all the use cases such as build, dev, test, showcase, and educate. We will be connecting hosting providers, product vendors and agencies/freelancers alike in a single platform.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We want to become the AWS for the WordPress world, providing an easy way for people to build sites without thinking about the underlying platform.&#8221;</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, 03 Jun 2022 17:30:43 +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:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:20;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:69:\"Post Status: WordPress Podcast and Video Picks for the Week of May 29\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"https://poststatus.com/?p=98548\";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:80:\"https://poststatus.com/wordpress-podcast-and-video-picks-for-the-week-of-may-29/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:316:\"Vikas Singhal on InstaWP\'s backing from Automattic • Raffaella Isidori on the importance of UX • How to get the most out of WordCamps • Peter Suhm on Reform • Josepha Haden Chomphosy shares her open-source reading list • Hiring and <code>capital_p_dangit</code> • Ryan Welcher live-coding block templates\";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, 03 Jun 2022 06:00:07 +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:12:\"David Bisset\";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:21;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:60:\"WPTavern: WP Engine Acquires 5 Plugins From Delicious Brains\";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:30:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=135014\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:71:\"https://wptavern.com/wp-engine-acquires-5-plugins-from-delicious-brains\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3487:\"<img />\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://deliciousbrains.com/\">Delicious Brains</a>, a WordPress product company founded in 2012 by Brad Touesnard, has sold five of its plugins to <a href=\"https://wpengine.com/blog/wp-engine-acquires-delicious-brains-plugins-including-advanced-custom-fields/\">WP Engine</a>: Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), WP Migrate, WP Offload Media, WP Offload SES, and Better Search Replace.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past four years, WP Engine has been scooping up developer tools through acquisitions, including StudioPress and the Genesis Framework (<a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wp-engine-acquires-studiopress\">2018</a>), Flywheel and its Local development tool (<a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wp-engine-acquires-flywheel\">2019</a>) and the Frost block theme (<a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wp-engine-acquires-brian-gardners-frost-opens-it-to-the-public\">2021</a>).

At the same time, I wasn’t spending nearly as much time on SpinupWP as I would have liked.&#8221;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Touesnard pitched the idea of selling the plugins to his connections at WP Engine and they were enthusiastic. The company is also acqui-hiring several members of the Delcious Brains team to continue supporting the products.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I’ve often said that if for some reason I couldn’t work for a month or more that Iain Poulson would step up and keep Delicious Brains running and thriving without me,&#8221; Touesnard said. &#8220;He has been with Delicious Brains since the early days, has worked across all the products, and makes sure that things get done that need doing. I’m very happy to say that Iain will be joining WP Engine, overseeing the continued development of ACF. Matt Shaw and Liam Gladdy will continue their work as developers on ACF as well.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Although Kevin Hoffman only joined us last August, he has made a huge impact on WP Migrate and Better Search Replace as product manager. I’m very pleased to say that he will continue that work partnering with Phil Webster and Ahmed Hussein. He will also continue working with Ian Jones and Erik Torsner on WP Offload Media and WP Offload SES.&#8221;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Touesnard said support teams for each product will remain in place and the plugins&#8217; developers will continue helping out in support as issues are escalated to them.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>WP Engine has promised to honor ACF Pro lifetime licenses and Touesnard said the company &#8220;has no plans to change subscription prices for any of the plugins for the foreseeable future.&#8221;</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 02 Jun 2022 15:04:47 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";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:22;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:55:\"WordPress.org blog: The Month in WordPress – May 2022\";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=12993\";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/2022/06/the-month-in-wordpress-may-2022/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:11823:\"<p>WordPress has a lot to celebrate this month.
