In many cases, that first introduction created immediate interest. Students who had never worked with WordPress before started asking questions, exploring what the software could do, and showing curiosity about the wider community.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That early response also revealed a gap. A workshop could spark interest, but it could not always sustain it on its own. Encouraging students to attend local WordPress meetups helped extend that first connection and, in some cases, brought new energy to existing local communities. Even so, it became clear that campuses needed something more consistent and closer to students’ everyday environment.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WordPress Student Clubs emerged from that need. Instead of limiting engagement to a single event, these clubs create an ongoing, student-led presence on campus where students can keep learning, share knowledge with peers, and grow more confident over time. They also offer a practical bridge between first exposure and deeper participation, helping students move from curiosity to contribution through regular activity and community support.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learning What Sustains Participation</h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As WordPress Student Clubs started forming across campuses, the early enthusiasm was encouraging, but sustaining that momentum proved to be one of the first real challenges. Student Club Organizers shared that interest was often strongest at the beginning, especially after a workshop or an introductory session, but turning that interest into regular participation required patience and experimentation. Like many community efforts, the clubs needed time to find a rhythm that worked for the students involved.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most common challenges was consistency. Many students were interested in learning WordPress, but regular engagement depended on more than initial curiosity. Organizers found that participation grew more steadily when activities felt approachable and useful, especially when students could learn by doing rather than only listening. Small learning sessions, collaborative exercises, and hands-on activities often made it easier for students to return and take part again.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Organizers also noticed that some students were initially hesitant to engage actively. Asking questions, speaking up in a group, or volunteering to help lead a session did not always happen naturally. Building a club meant creating an environment where students felt comfortable enough to participate, try something new, and gradually take ownership of their own learning.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Academic schedules added another layer of complexity. Because the clubs are student-led, planning around classes, assignments, and exams required flexibility. Keeping activities regular without overwhelming organizers or participants meant working within the rhythms of campus life. Those early difficulties became part of the learning process and helped shape how the clubs began to operate more effectively.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building Through Small, Consistent Activities</h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As organizers worked through those challenges, certain approaches began to show results. Instead of focusing on large events, many clubs found momentum through simple, repeatable activities that students could join without feeling intimidated. Regular learning sessions, small hands-on workshops, and peer-to-peer discussions helped create an environment that felt both welcoming and practical.<br></p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/image.png?resize=1024%2C575&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20467\" srcset=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/image.png?resize=1024%2C575&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/image.png?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/image.png?resize=768%2C431&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/image.png?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" /><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>A Student club activity in a college led by a student club Organizer</em></figcaption></figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/PHOTO-2026-02-25-23-25-03.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20468\" srcset=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/PHOTO-2026-02-25-23-25-03.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/PHOTO-2026-02-25-23-25-03.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/PHOTO-2026-02-25-23-25-03.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/PHOTO-2026-02-25-23-25-03.jpg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/PHOTO-2026-02-25-23-25-03.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" /></figure>\n</div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/PHOTO-2026-02-25-23-25-06.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20469\" srcset=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/PHOTO-2026-02-25-23-25-06.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/PHOTO-2026-02-25-23-25-06.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/PHOTO-2026-02-25-23-25-06.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/PHOTO-2026-02-25-23-25-06.jpg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/PHOTO-2026-02-25-23-25-06.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" /><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Students showcasing websites built during a club session</em></figcaption></figure>\n</div>\n</div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That steady approach mattered. When students could return to familiar formats and see progress from one session to the next, clubs became easier to sustain. Organizers were able to build routines, and participants could join at their own pace. Over time, those small efforts started to strengthen participation more effectively than occasional large events.</p>\n</div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Student ownership also played an important role. As students began sharing what they had learned, helping their peers, and taking part in running sessions, engagement started to grow more organically. These moments helped shift the clubs from being simply learning spaces to becoming communities in their own right. Students were not only using WordPress in a classroom context. They were also beginning to understand it as part of a collaborative open source project shaped by people who learn together, build together, and support one another.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guidance from the local WordPress community helped reinforce that progress. Although the clubs are student-led, organizers benefited from having experienced community members available as mentors. Mentors helped them think through session structure, activity planning, and the practical challenge of staying motivated while balancing academic responsibilities. That kind of support gave organizers more confidence to experiment and keep building.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mentorship also connected campus activity to the broader WordPress ecosystem. Students were not learning in isolation. Through local community guidance, they were able to see how meetups, contributions, and collaboration all fit into a larger network of people who have been participating in WordPress for years. That connection gave the work happening on campus greater meaning and helped students see a clearer path forward.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Early Impact Across Campuses</h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although WordPress Student Clubs are still in an early stage, signs of impact are already visible. Organizers have shared that more students are showing interest in learning WordPress and in exploring what open source participation can look like in practice. In several cases, students who first joined as learners are now contributing to discussions, helping peers during sessions, and organizing club activities themselves.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That shift from passive participation to active involvement is one of the clearest signs of growth. It suggests that the clubs are beginning to create more than awareness. They are creating opportunities for students to build confidence, practice leadership, and develop a stronger sense of connection to the WordPress community. Even at this stage, that kind of change points to the long-term value of sustaining engagement on campus.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One encouraging example came during the International Women’s Day celebration in Ajmer, India, where students participated alongside members of the local WordPress community. Organizers noted that the event included 100 female attendees, with around 50% of participants coming from student clubs. For many of those students, it was a first opportunity to take part in a broader community event, meet other contributors, and see how open source communities collaborate in practice.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-22-at-5.08.47-pm.png?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20463\" srcset=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-22-at-5.08.47-pm.png?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-22-at-5.08.47-pm.png?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-22-at-5.08.47-pm.png?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-22-at-5.08.47-pm.png?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-22-at-5.08.47-pm.png?resize=2048%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" /><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Women’s Day Ajmer 2026 Event, where more than 50% participation from student clubs</em></figcaption></figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Experiences like that show how student-led initiatives can extend beyond campus and begin contributing to the wider community. They also create space for new voices to participate. As students move from club sessions into local events, they gain experience not only as learners but also as community members who can help shape what comes next.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The clubs are also creating leadership opportunities on campus. Organizers have stepped into new roles by coordinating activities, encouraging participation, and maintaining momentum over time. Those experiences help students build skills that matter both within the WordPress community and beyond it, including communication, organization, and problem-solving.</p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“Being a Student Club Organizer helped me improve my leadership and communication skills.”<br><em>— Sanjeevni Kumari, WordPress Student Club Organizer, Mahila Engineering College, Ajmer</em></p>\n</blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looking Ahead</h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WordPress Student Clubs are still developing, but the journey so far points to a promising direction. What began as an effort to sustain interest after WordPress Campus Connect is gradually becoming a more durable model for ongoing learning and collaboration on campus. The clubs are helping students stay connected to WordPress beyond a first introduction, while also creating stronger links between educational spaces and local communities.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That longer-term potential is one reason this work matters. With regular campus activity and continued mentorship, Student Clubs can help create a stronger foundation for future contributors. They can also help students build confidence before attending local meetups, contributing to community efforts, or participating in events beyond their campuses.</p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“With regular on-campus activities through WordPress Student Clubs, the real impact may become visible over the next couple of years, as a stronger WordPress ecosystem begins to take shape within campuses.”<br><em>— Anand Upadhyay, Student Club Mentor</em></p>\n</blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As more students get involved and take ownership of these spaces, WordPress Student Clubs can continue to open pathways to learning, leadership, and community participation.

With 2,627 attendees, the event reflected the scale of the WordPress community and the strong turnout throughout the event.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event unfolded across Contributor Day and two conference days, with a program that moved from technical sessions and workshops to hallway conversations, shared meals, and joyful moments of connection across the venue. From first-time attendees to longtime contributors, WordCamp Asia 2026 reflected the breadth of the WordPress ecosystem and the many ways people shaped and sustained it.</p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><mark style=\"background-color:#2f363d;color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><br></mark>WordPress is not a company. It is a shared commitment to keeping the web open.</p><cite>Mary Hubbard, Executive Director, WordPress</cite></blockquote></figure>\n</div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout the event, WordCamp Asia 2026 balanced formal programming with the conversations happening around it. Sessions and workshops set the pace, while morning networking, tea breaks, lunch, the family photo, the sponsor’s raffle, and the after party in Jasmine Hall helped make the event feel welcoming, social, and connected.<br></p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How WordCamp Asia 2026 Took Shape</h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bringing together contribution, practical learning, and forward-looking conversation in one shared program. Across Contributor Day and the conference sessions that followed, attendees moved between hands-on work, technical talks, workshops, and broader discussions about AI, education, enterprise, community growth, and the open web.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result was a WordCamp that felt expansive without losing its sense of connection. Different rooms with topics as themes, helping different audiences, and different forms of participation all fed into the same larger picture: a community actively building what comes next for WordPress as a feeling that something bigger was happening: not just a schedule being delivered, but a community showing up for one another and for the future of WordPress.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contributor Day: Building WordPress Together</h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contributor Day opened WordCamp Asia 2026 with one of the clearest expressions of what makes the project special: people coming together to move WordPress forward by working on it. More than 1,500 participants joined 38 table leads across more than 20 contribution tables, creating a day that was expansive in scale and grounded in real work. For some, it was a return to familiar teams and longtime collaborators. For others, it was the beginning of their contributor journey.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The day moved between structured learning and hands-on participation. Alongside contributor sessions, attendees joined workshops, visited the <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/contributor-day/open-source-library/\">Open Source Library</a>, took part in <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/youthcamp-is-back-at-wordcamp-asia-2026/\">YouthCamp</a>, and attended <em>The Making of a WordPress Release: Conversations with Past Release Squad Members</em>, a featured panel that added depth and perspective to the work of building and sustaining WordPress.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/BFxdBBxd_Wc?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"></iframe>\n</div></figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What made Contributor Day stand out was not only the number of people in the room, but the range of ways they could take part. Workshops created space for skill-building. YouthCamp brought younger participants into the experience and widened the event’s reach in a meaningful way. The day felt welcoming, energetic, and full of possibility.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the end, the impact was already visible across teams. Polyglots contributors suggested more than 7,000 strings and reviewed 3,200 of them. Photo contributors uploaded 76 images. The Test team worked on more than 20 tickets, and 55 contributors joined Training. Those numbers told only part of the story, but they pointed to what Contributor Day continued to do so well: turn a large gathering into shared work that strengthened the project in real time.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;galleryId&quot;:&quot;69fae526573bd&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core/gallery\" class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conference Sessions Take Shape</h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Across the conference days, WordCamp Asia 2026 covered a wide range of topics, from technical development and hands-on workshops to business strategy and the open web. Sessions took place across the Foundation, Growth, and Enterprise tracks, with workshops running alongside the main program.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the opening sessions was James LePage’s <em>WordPress and AI</em>, which introduced a theme that appeared throughout the conference: how WordPress is responding to changes in AI, publishing, and developer workflows. That topic continued in later sessions focused on AI-driven development, autonomous testing, plugin maintenance, and automation.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/-mFbUueL0NE?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"></iframe>\n</div></figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later that morning, a fireside chat with Mary Hubbard and Shilpa Shah shifted the focus toward trust, security, and the longer-term questions shaping open source publishing. Coming early in the program, the conversation gave the conference an important center of gravity, pairing technical change with questions of stewardship, resilience, and what people needed from WordPress as the web continued to evolve. Rather than pulling away from the event’s technical momentum, it deepened it, bringing a human perspective to the pace of change and reminding the audience that progress in open source is not only about what gets built, but about how communities guide, challenge, and sustain that work over time.<br></p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZrwP7KpZL3E?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"></iframe>\n</div></figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From there, the conference widened into a program that balanced developer-focused talks with sessions on the <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/session/from-static-to-dynamic-mastering-the-interactivity-api/\">Interactivity API</a>, the <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/session/parsing-html-without-pain-real-world-use-cases-for-wordpress-html-api/\">HTML API</a>, <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/session/building-better-wordpress-experiences-with-ai-driven-development-workflows/\">AI-driven development workflows</a>, <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/session/education-initiatives-in-the-wordpress-ecosystem/\">education initiatives</a>, <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/session/from-reactive-to-proactive-modern-observability-for-wordpress/\">observability</a>, <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/session/ten-times-the-value-why-automation-is-worth-the-investment-in-open-source/\">automation</a>, and <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/session/wordpress-for-startup-founders-the-advantages-are-real-and-so-are-the-traps/\">startup strategy</a>. On the final day, those threads continued through talks on <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/session/the-invisible-gotchas-of-wp-translation/\">WP translation</a>, <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/session/building-wordpress-communities-the-ugandan-story/\">community building</a>, <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/session/wordpress-playground-ai-building-autonomous-testing-pipelines/\">WordPress Playground</a>, <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/session/wordpress-org-analytics-data-engineering-starter-project/\">data engineering</a>, <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/session/enterprise-wordpress-isnt-just-bigger-wordpress-lessons-from-the-field/\">enterprise WordPress</a>, and <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/session/panel-journalism-on-the-open-web/\">journalism on the open web</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together, the two conference days made clear that WordCamp Asia 2026 was designed not for one kind of attendee, but for many. Developers, founders, marketers, contributors, organizers, and people finding their place in WordPress for the first time all found something that spoke directly to their work and interests. The breadth of the program was striking, but so was the feeling that these conversations mattered now.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building What Comes Next</h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WordCamp Asia 2026 closed with reflections from Mary Hubbard, following an opening announcement from Chenda Ngak that WordCamp India will join the calendar in 2027 as the fourth flagship WordPress event.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mary’s remarks tied together several threads that had already surfaced throughout the event: India’s long-standing role in the WordPress project, the growth of programs like Campus Connect and WordPress Credits, the energy of YouthCamp, and the significance of WordPress 7.0. One of the clearest ideas in the session was that WordPress is entering a new phase shaped by real-time collaboration, AI infrastructure, and global contributor growth. That framing gave the closing session a strong sense of direction without losing sight of the community work that made it possible.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ad4tM-CDEUc?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"></iframe>\n</div></figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The session then shifted into a panel discussion about the current state of WordPress and where the project is headed next. Peter Wilson and Sergey Biryukov joined Hubbard on stage, while audience questions brought the conversation back to many of the themes that had shaped the event across all three days. Even from afar, Ma.tt Mullenweg remained part of the discussion, following along remotely and sending written responses during the live Q&amp;A.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those questions touched on contributor growth, AI, plugins, local communities, product direction, and the long-term health of the open web. What stood out was how often the answers returned to the same core idea: WordPress continues to grow through open discussion, shared responsibility, and the people who keep showing up to build it together.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Lasting Momentum</h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over three days in Mumbai, WordCamp Asia 2026 brought together contribution, learning, and community. From Contributor Day through the closing keynote, the event balanced hands-on work with bigger conversations about publishing, technology, education, and the open web.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event also created space for many kinds of participation. Some attendees contributed to Core, Training, Polyglots, Photos, and other teams. Others came for the conference program, workshops, or the chance to reconnect with collaborators and meet new people. Across session rooms, tea breaks, shared meals, sponsor hall conversations, and the after party, the community side of the event remained just as important as the formal program.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure

growth.</figcaption></figure>\n</div>\n</div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together, they offer an early view of the themes and discussions unfolding across WordPress in 2026.<br></p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AI, Automation, and the Future of WordPress</h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Artificial intelligence is one of the clearest threads running through the program. Sessions from <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/speaker/fellyph-cintra/\">Fellyph Cintra</a>, <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/speaker/fumiki-takahashi/\">Fumiki Takahashi</a>, and <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/speaker/nirav-mehta/\">Nirav Mehta</a> examine how AI is already influencing WordPress through Core discussions, testing workflows, plugin development, and day-to-day implementation. That same theme continues in sessions on marketing and content strategy, including <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/speaker/adeline-dahal/\">Adeline Dahal’s</a> work on structuring WordPress content to make it more machine-readable. </p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This cross-section of presentations shows how automation is moving from concept to practice. From autonomous testing with WordPress Playground to AI-supported development workflows, these sessions highlight applicable tools and skills that teams can start using right away, not just concepts. For attendees interested in where WordPress is heading, this is one of the strongest themes across the event.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enterprise WordPress and Scalability</h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enterprise sessions take that discussion further by focusing on scale, architecture, and operational complexity. <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/speaker/rahul-bansal/\">Rahul Bansal</a>, <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/speaker/james-giroux/\">James Giroux</a>, Anirban Mukherji, and Abid Murshed are among the speakers exploring how WordPress supports larger organizations, more complex commerce systems, and demanding digital environments. Their sessions look at growth, implementation, and the kinds of decisions that matter when WordPress is supporting business-critical work.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other talks in this track focus on the realities of enterprise operations, including migration risk, observability, and long-term performance. Together, they show how WordPress continues to adapt to larger systems and more complex digital ecosystems without losing the flexibility that makes it widely used in the first place.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Developer Experience and Modern Practices</h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The developer track stays grounded in both Core tools and everyday engineering practice. <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/speaker/ryan-welcher/\">Ryan Welcher</a> will cover the Interactivity API, <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/speaker/jonathan-desrosiers/\">Jonathan Desrosiers</a> will look at automation in open source, and <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/speaker/takayuki-miyoshi/\">Takayuki Miyoshi</a> will introduce a schema-sharing approach to form management. These sessions point to a broader shift toward building WordPress systems that are more dynamic, maintainable, and easier to scale over time.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These more technical presentations also include sessions on the WordPress HTML API, Content Security Policy, open source data pipelines, and evolving plugin standards. Rather than focusing on a single type of builder, this part of the schedule addresses developers working across infrastructure, security, front-end experiences, and long-term platform health.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Community, Education, and Open Source</h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The schedule also makes space for the people and ideas that support WordPress beyond engineering alone. A panel featuring <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/speaker/anand-upadhyay/\">Anand Upadhyay</a> and <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/speaker/maciej-pilarski/\">Maciej Pilarski</a>, moderated by <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/speaker/destiny-kanno/\">Destiny Kanno</a>, looks at education initiatives and student pathways into open source. <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/speaker/kazuko-kaneuchi/\">Kazuko Kaneuchi</a> will reflect on the story of Wapuu and the culture of contribution around WordPress. At the same time, <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/speaker/kotaro-kitamura/\">Kotaro Kitamura</a> and <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/speaker/chiharu-nagatomi/\">Chiharu Nagatomi</a> will share how WordPress and its community shaped their professional journeys.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That wider perspective continues in sessions on product thinking, marketing, career growth, and business strategy. <span style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 0px\">Speakers, including&nbsp;<a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/speaker/nabin-jaiswal/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nabin Jaiswal</a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/speaker/himani-kankaria/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Himani Kankaria</a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/speaker/julian-song/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Julian Song</a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/speaker/karishma-sundaram/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Karishma Sundaram</a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/speaker/sandeep-kelvadi/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sandeep Kelvadi</a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/speaker/aviral-mittal/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Aviral Mittal</a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/speaker/anh-tran/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Anh Tran</a>, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/speaker/anna-hurko/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Anna Hurko,</a>&nbsp;explore how WordPress works an</span>d connects with decision-making, discoverability, professional development, and organizational growth. Taken together, these sessions reflect one of WordPress’s long-standing strengths: its ability to connect software, learning, and community in the same space.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hands-on Workshops</h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hands-on workshops round out the schedule, offering practical sessions for attendees who want to move from ideas to implementation. They include:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>From On-Demand to Cloud: Automate WordPress Installations Like a Pro</li>\n\n\n\n<li>AI + MCP to build, manage, and automate WordPress end-to-end</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Building AI Agents with self-editing memory</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Building Better WordPress Experiences with AI-Driven Development Workflows</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Explore the <strong><a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/schedule/\">full schedule</a></strong> to plan your sessions, and get your <strong><a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2026/event-pass/\">event pass</a></strong> to join WordCamp Asia 2026 in Mumbai.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"754\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/10/wordcamp-asia-2025-family-photo.webp?resize=1024%2C754&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19213\" srcset=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/10/wordcamp-asia-2025-family-photo.webp?resize=1024%2C754&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/10/wordcamp-asia-2025-family-photo.webp?resize=300%2C221&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/10/wordcamp-asia-2025-family-photo.webp?resize=768%2C566&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/10/wordcamp-asia-2025-family-photo.webp?resize=1536%2C1131&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2025/10/wordcamp-asia-2025-family-photo.webp?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mumbai is calling.

The community already had an answer in progress. Four days later, <a href=\"https://wp-packages.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WP Packages</a> (<a href=\"https://roots.io/wp-composer-is-now-wp-packages/\">formerly WP Composer</a>) launched as a fully independent, community-funded alternative, with some neat additional features.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Built by <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/retlehs/\">Ben Words</a> from <a href=\"https://roots.io/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Roots</a>, the team behind Bedrock, Sage, and Trellis, WP Packages is a new open source Composer repository for WordPress plugins and themes. <a href=\"https://getcomposer.org/\">Composer</a> is PHP&#8217;s dependency manager, and it is how many professional WordPress developers install and update plugins and themes in their projects. Every free plugin and theme in the WordPress.org directory is available through WP Packages. <a href=\"#switch\">Migrating from WPackagist</a> can be done via a single script or a few terminal commands.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Happened and Why It Matters</strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WPackagist was created in 2013 by Outlandish, a UK-based digital cooperative, and it served the WordPress Composer ecosystem for over a decade. In its later years the project suffered from deferred maintenance, slow update cycles, and little to no community input. When WP Engine announced the acquisition, developers raised immediate concerns about a private-equity-backed corporation controlling infrastructure this foundational to the WordPress developer workflow. WP Engine immediately updated the Composer <code>info</code> field to display a &#8220;WPackagist is now maintained by WP Engine&#8221; notice in every developer&#8217;s terminal. A small thing, but telling. That&#8217;s how corporate ownership changes the relationship between a tool and its users.</p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-c1abb2c1 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-twitter\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">And it only took less than 24h for this to pop up on every composer run:<br>&quot;Info from <a href=\"https://t.co/1EEb4PZ9N2\">https://t.co/1EEb4PZ9N2</a>: WPackagist is now maintained by WP Engine.

When WP Engine&#8217;s deal landed, he accelerated the launch, <a href=\"https://roots.io/introducing-wp-composer-as-a-wpackagist-replacement/\">going live on March 16</a> with a fully <a href=\"https://github.com/roots/wp-composer\">open source repository on GitHub</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Open source repo ≠ transparent system. WP Packages makes everything public, including infrastructure and build process.</em> &#8211; <a href=\"https://x.com/retlehs/status/2034277432241385727?s=20\">Ben Word on X</a></p>\n</blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s also just a better tool. WP Packages supports Composer v2&#8217;s metadata-url protocol, which lets Composer fetch metadata only for the packages a project actually needs. WPackagist still relies on the older provider-includes approach, forcing Composer to download large index files before resolving dependencies. Cold dependency resolves on WP Packages are roughly 17x faster: 0.7 seconds for 10 plugins compared to 12.3 seconds on WPackagist.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WP Packages also uses CDN caching with public cache headers and serves immutable, content-addressed per-package files. Package naming is cleaner (<code>wp-plugin/</code> and <code>wp-theme/</code> instead of <code>wpackagist-plugin/</code> and <code>wpackagist-theme/</code>), metadata includes plugin and theme authors, descriptions, and homepage URLs that WPackagist has been missing for years, and updates sync every five minutes rather than WPackagist&#8217;s roughly 90-minute cycle.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"switch\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Switch</strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Switching from WPackagist to WP Packages requires just a few terminal commands.</p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Remove your existing WPackagist packages:</li>\n</ol>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code class=\"\"><code>composer remove wpackagist-theme/twentytwentyfive</code></code></pre>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Remove the WPackagist repository and add WP Packages:</li>\n</ol>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code class=\"\"><code>composer config --unset repositories.wpackagist &amp;&amp; composer config repositories.wp-composer composer https://repo.wp-packages.org</code></code></pre>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Require packages with the new naming:</li>\n</ol>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code class=\"\"><code>composer require wp-theme/twentytwentyfive</code></code></pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alternatively, use the <a href=\"https://github.com/roots/wp-composer/blob/main/scripts/migrate-from-wpackagist.sh\">migration script</a> to automatically update your <code>composer.json</code>:</p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code class=\"\">curl -sO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/roots/wp-packages/main/scripts/migrate-from-wpackagist.sh &amp;&amp; bash migrate-from-wpackagist.sh</code></pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roots also provides a <a href=\"https://github.com/roots/wp-packages-changelog-action\">WP Packages Changelog Action</a> for GitHub workflows that tracks dependency updates using the new naming format. Projects using <a href=\"https://roots.io/bedrock/\">Bedrock</a> already ship with WP Packages configured out of the box.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Open Source Wins</strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire WP Packages project is public. The application code, documentation, and even the full Ansible deployment configuration are available on GitHub. Anyone can fork the repository and run their own WordPress Composer registry. Ben has also committed publicly that WP Packages will never use the Composer <code>info</code> field to push messages, ads, or upsells into developer terminals. That kind of restraint is easier to promise when a project answers to its community rather than to a corporate parent.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WP Packages is funded through <a href=\"https://github.com/sponsors/roots\">GitHub Sponsors</a>. Current sponsors include <a href=\"https://carrot.com/\">Carrot</a>, <a href=\"https://kinsta.com/\">Kinsta</a>, <a href=\"https://wordpress.com/\">WordPress.com</a>, and <a href=\"https://www.itineris.co.uk/\">Itineris</a>. The WordPress ecosystem has always been at its strongest when the community builds the tools it needs in the open. Ben saw a gap forming months before anyone else was paying attention, built something better than what existed, and released it for everyone. No acquisition required. No boardroom decisions about availability or pricing. Just developers solving a problem for other developers and sharing the result. Open source wins.</p>\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:30:\"com-wordpress:feed-additions:1\";a:1:{s:7:\"post-id\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:5:\"20214\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:7;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:72:\"\n		\n		\n		\n		\n		\n				\n		\n		\n		\n		\n		\n		\n\n					\n										\n					\n		\n		\n			\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:4:{s:0:\"\";a:6:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:33:\"WordPress 7.0 Release Candidate 1\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:69:\"https://wordpress.org/news/2026/03/wordpress-7-0-release-candidate-1/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 24 Mar 2026 19:32:15 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"category\";a:6:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:11:\"Development\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}i:1;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:8:\"Releases\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}i:2;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3:\"7-0\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}i:3;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:11:\"development\";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:4;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:7:\"release\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}i:5;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:18:\"release candidates\";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=20229\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:1:{s:0:\"\";a:1:{s:11:\"isPermaLink\";s:5:\"false\";}}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:364:\"The first Release Candidate (“RC1”) for WordPress 7.0 is ready for download and testing!

Block markup is notoriously difficult for AI to produce correctly — not because AI models lack capability, but because of how the format works. As Dennis Snell explained back in 2017 in his still-essential post <a href=\"https://fluffyandflakey.blog/2017/09/04/gutenberg-posts-arent-html/\">Gutenberg posts aren&#8217;t HTML</a>, a Gutenberg post is a serialized tree structure that happens to be stored as HTML with JSON-carrying comment delimiters. It was never designed to be written by hand — or by an AI inferring its way through a <code>save()</code> function it can&#8217;t actually execute. The result, for anyone building publishing automations, REST API integrations, or agent workflows that call <code>wp_insert_post()</code>, is a familiar failure mode: content that saves fine, then opens in the editor with invalid blocks or silently falls back to the classic editor.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even a block as common as a styled quote illustrates the problem:</p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The generated HTML should be treated as throwaway code.</p>\n<cite>Dennis Snell</cite></blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kevinbatdorf-code-block-pro cbp-has-line-numbers\"><span>JSON</span><span class=\"code-block-pro-copy-button\" style=\"color: #575279; display: none;\" tabindex=\"0\"><pre class=\"code-block-pro-copy-button-pre\"><textarea class=\"code-block-pro-copy-button-textarea\" readonly=\"readonly\" tabindex=\"-1\">&lt;!-- wp:quote {\"className\":\"is-style-large\"} -->\n&lt;blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large\">\n    &lt;p>The generated HTML should be treated as throwaway code.&lt;/p>\n    &lt;cite>Dennis Snell&lt;/cite>\n&lt;/blockquote>\n&lt;!-- /wp:quote --></textarea></pre><svg fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\"><path class=\"with-check\" d=\"M9 5H7a2 2 0 00-2 2v12a2 2 0 002 2h10a2 2 0 002-2V7a2 2 0 00-2-2h-2M9 5a2 2 0 002 2h2a2 2 0 002-2M9 5a2 2 0 012-2h2a2 2 0 012 2m-6 9l2 2 4-4\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"></path><path class=\"without-check\" d=\"M9 5H7a2 2 0 00-2 2v12a2 2 0 002 2h10a2 2 0 002-2V7a2 2 0 00-2-2h-2M9 5a2 2 0 002 2h2a2 2 0 002-2M9 5a2 2 0 012-2h2a2 2 0 012 2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"></path></svg></span><pre class=\"shiki rose-pine-dawn\" style=\"background-color: #faf4ed;\" tabindex=\"0\"><code><span class=\"line\"><span style=\"color: #575279;\">&lt;!-- wp:quote </span><span style=\"color: #797593;\">{</span><span style=\"color: #797593;\">&quot;</span><span style=\"color: #56949F;\">className</span><span style=\"color: #797593;\">&quot;</span><span style=\"color: #797593;\">:</span><span style=\"color: #EA9D34;\">&quot;is-style-large&quot;</span><span style=\"color: #797593;\">}</span><span style=\"color: #575279;\"> --&gt;</span></span>\n<span class=\"line\"><span style=\"color: #575279;\">&lt;blockquote class=</span><span style=\"color: #EA9D34;\">&quot;wp-block-quote is-style-large&quot;</span><span style=\"color: #575279;\">&gt;</span></span>\n<span class=\"line\"><span style=\"color: #575279;\">    &lt;p&gt;The generated HTML should be treated as throwaway code.&lt;/p&gt;</span></span>\n<span class=\"line\"><span style=\"color: #575279;\">    &lt;cite&gt;Dennis Snell&lt;/cite&gt;</span></span>\n<span class=\"line\"><span style=\"color: #575279;\">&lt;/blockquote&gt;</span></span>\n<span class=\"line\"><span style=\"color: #575279;\">&lt;!-- /wp:quote --&gt;</span></span></code></pre></div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <code>className</code> attribute in the comment has to match the class on the HTML element. The <code>cite</code> tag must follow the exact structure the block&#8217;s <code>save()</code> function produces. Get either wrong and the block is invalid — and with more complex blocks like <code>wp:cover</code> or <code>wp:columns</code>, the surface area for errors grows considerably.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HTML to Blocks converter and vice versa</h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Block Format Bridge sidesteps the problem by letting AI output what it does well — Markdown or plain HTML — and handling the conversion to block markup server-side, using established PHP libraries. It builds on <a href=\"https://github.com/chubes4/html-to-blocks-converter\"><code>chubes4/html-to-blocks-converter</code></a> for the write side, WordPress core&#8217;s <code>do_blocks()</code> for rendering, and <code>league/commonmark</code> and <code>league/html-to-markdown</code> for Markdown support.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The core API is compact and readable:</p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kevinbatdorf-code-block-pro cbp-has-line-numbers\"><span>JSON</span><span class=\"code-block-pro-copy-button\" style=\"color: #575279; display: none;\" tabindex=\"0\"><pre class=\"code-block-pro-copy-button-pre\"><textarea class=\"code-block-pro-copy-button-textarea\" readonly=\"readonly\" tabindex=\"-1\">/ Markdown → blocks\n$blocks = bfb_convert( \"# Hello\\n\\nSome content here.\", \'markdown\', \'blocks\' );\n\n/ HTML → blocks\n$blocks = bfb_convert( \'&lt;h1>Hello&lt;/h1>&lt;p>Some content here.&lt;/p>\', \'html\', \'blocks\' );\n\n/ Blocks → Markdown (for reading back to AI)\n$md = bfb_render_post( $post_id, \'markdown\' );</textarea></pre><svg fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\"><path class=\"with-check\" d=\"M9 5H7a2 2 0 00-2 2v12a2 2 0 002 2h10a2 2 0 002-2V7a2 2 0 00-2-2h-2M9 5a2 2 0 002 2h2a2 2 0 002-2M9 5a2 2 0 012-2h2a2 2 0 012 2m-6 9l2 2 4-4\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"></path><path class=\"without-check\" d=\"M9 5H7a2 2 0 00-2 2v12a2 2 0 002 2h10a2 2 0 002-2V7a2 2 0 00-2-2h-2M9 5a2 2 0 002 2h2a2 2 0 002-2M9 5a2 2 0 012-2h2a2 2 0 012 2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"></path></svg></span><pre class=\"shiki rose-pine-dawn\" style=\"background-color: #faf4ed;\" tabindex=\"0\"><code><span class=\"line\"><span style=\"color: #575279;\">/ Markdown → blocks</span></span>\n<span class=\"line\"><span style=\"color: #575279;\">$blocks = bfb_convert( </span><span style=\"color: #EA9D34;\">&quot;# Hello</span><span style=\"color: #286983;\">\\n\\n</span><span style=\"color: #EA9D34;\">Some content here.&quot;</span><span style=\"color: #575279;\">, \'markdown\', \'blocks\' );</span></span>\n<span class=\"line\"></span>\n<span class=\"line\"><span style=\"color: #575279;\">/ HTML → blocks</span></span>\n<span class=\"line\"><span style=\"color: #575279;\">$blocks = bfb_convert( \'&lt;h</span><span style=\"color: #D7827E;\">1</span><span style=\"color: #575279;\">&gt;Hello&lt;/h</span><span style=\"color: #D7827E;\">1</span><span style=\"color: #575279;\">&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some content here.&lt;/p&gt;\', \'html\', \'blocks\' );</span></span>\n<span class=\"line\"></span>\n<span class=\"line\"><span style=\"color: #575279;\">/ Blocks → Markdown (for reading back to AI)</span></span>\n<span class=\"line\"><span style=\"color: #575279;\">$md = bfb_render_post( $post_id, \'markdown\' );</span></span></code></pre></div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also adds a <code>?content_format=</code> query parameter to the REST API, so AI agents can fetch existing post content as Markdown — not raw block markup — which makes edit workflows considerably more reliable.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The architecture is extensible. New formats can be added by registering a new adapter without touching the core bridge, and the <code>bfb_default_format</code> filter lets you declare that a custom post type writes in Markdown by default, so any code path calling <code>wp_insert_post()</code> gets the same conversion behavior automatically.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does This Need a Skill?</h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After sharing an early draft of this post with Chris Huber, he offered a perspective worth sitting with: this plugin is designed to <em>eliminate</em> a skill rather than add one.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Block Format Bridge is bundled as a dependency and the system prompt simply instructs the agent to insert post content as Markdown, the AI doesn&#8217;t need to know the plugin exists at all. A single line — <em>&#8220;post content should be inserted as Markdown&#8221;</em> — is enough. The conversion happens automatically, invisibly, in PHP. The complexity disappears into infrastructure rather than into instructions.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s a different philosophy from agent-skills, which is about making AI <em>aware</em> of patterns and tools. The more elegant approach here is the opposite: good tooling that makes the AI less aware, not more. An end user of a plugin built on top of Block Format Bridge would never know it exists — they&#8217;d just see valid blocks in the editor.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A skill may still have a role for developers who don&#8217;t control the system prompt and need to guide agent behavior through other means. But for anyone building AI-powered WordPress plugins or automations, the cleaner pattern is to bundle the plugin, set the default format, and let the infrastructure do its job.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A draft skill is available below for those who do want to experiment with the agent-skills approach.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A draft skill can be downloaded to use the Block Format Bridge . </p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https://gutenbergtimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/wp-block-content-skill.zip\" id=\"wp-block-file--media-80d767d8-8c3f-470f-8ac2-4b582dc68e3d\">wp-block-content-skill</a><a class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" href=\"https://gutenbergtimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/wp-block-content-skill.zip\">Download</a></div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <img alt=\"🐲\" class=\"wp-smiley\" src=\"https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f432.png\" style=\"height: 1em;\" /> All is still a work in progress so there might be dragons</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>As a small footnote, this post was drafted with AI assistance and had to be converted to blocks before I could edit it. —which felt fitting given the subject</em></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:\"Sat, 02 May 2026 19:23:14 +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:18:\"Birgit Pauli-Haack\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:3;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:21:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:104:\"Gutenberg Times: Studio Code, Hosting call for testing, Design with AI, and more — Weekend Edition 365\";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://gutenbergtimes.com/?p=45461\";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:108:\"https://gutenbergtimes.com/studio-code-hosting-call-for-testing-design-with-ai-and-more-weekend-edition-365/\";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:22455:\"<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hi there, </p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">May is an action-packed month for the WordPress community, packed with tons of local <a href=\"https://central.wordcamp.org/schedule/\">WordCamps and Campus Connect</a> events.

You&#8217;ll see real-time multi-user editing in action, native AI Connectors for plugging in providers like OpenAI or Anthropic, a refreshed admin with Data Views, and a new Notes and Comments system for editorial teams.

Led by <strong>Luigi Teschio</strong>, you can already test a working prototype via WordPress Playground.

You get four table types — standard tables, WooCommerce product tables with live stock and direct add-to-cart, data tables that import from CSV, Google Sheets, or JSON with auto-sync, and WordPress post tables. Standout features include conditional formatting, freeze columns, column sorting, search and filtering, and export to PDF, CSV, or Excel, all without shortcodes or leaving your editor.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img alt=\"Screenshot of Table Kit - by WPMet. \" class=\"wp-image-45535\" height=\"344\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/gutenbergtimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Screenshot-2026-05-02-at-13.11.36.png?resize=652%2C344&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"652\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mike McAlister</strong> has been busy shipping for Ollie Pro.

Alongside that, he introduced <a href=\"https://olliewp.com/introducing-the-new-and-improved-ollie-pattern-library/\">a completely redesigned Ollie Pattern Library</a> with a unified design language across hundreds of patterns, a faster Browse tab with live search and one-click actions, and a brand-new Discover tab powered by Ollie AI, letting you describe a layout in plain language, use pre-made prompts, or hit &#8220;Inspire Me&#8221; to instantly assemble a full page.</p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" />\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Maxime Bernard-Jacquet </strong>announces that <strong><a href=\"https://modern-fields.com/modern-fields-1-0-is-live/\">Modern Fields 1.0 is now out of beta</a> </strong>— a custom fields plugin built for the block editor era and positioned as an ACF alternative. The 1.0 release adds JSON import/export, automatic field sync with the theme, a no-code UI for creating custom post types and taxonomies, and WP-CLI commands. A live in-browser demo requires no installation. A Pro version is in the works, with repeater and relational fields, conditional logic, options pages, query loop filters, and custom block creation planned. </p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Core contributors <strong>Nik Tsekouras</strong> and <strong>Marin Atanasov</strong> started an <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/77600\"><strong>Experiment: Content types tracking issue</strong></a>, developer might want to keep an eye out.

Install Studio CLI and run <code>studio code</code> to get started. Unlike general-purpose coding agents, it&#8217;s purpose-built for WordPress: you can describe a site in natural language and it builds a complete block theme — layout, typography, fonts, and content — then validates block markup against the real editor, runs WP-CLI commands, audits performance, and pushes to WordPress.com or Pressable hosting. <strong>Free during beta.</strong> Details on how to get started are on the <a href=\"https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/developer-tools/studio/studio-code/\">developer portal</a>. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45547\" height=\"416\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/gutenbergtimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/studio-code-what-can-you-do.png?resize=652%2C416&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"652\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" />\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Varun Dubey</strong>, founder of Wbcom Designs and BuddyPress contributor, offers a developer&#8217;s honest take on <a href=\"https://vapvarun.com/wordpress-7-ai-connectors-pros-cons/\"><strong>WordPress 7.0 AI Connectors — what they get right and what still worries him</strong></a>. You&#8217;ll find the case for standardization (one dashboard for all AI providers, lower barrier for solo plugin developers, user choice of cloud or local models) balanced against real concerns: data privacy enforcement is still honor-system, budget limits are soft rather than hard, and local/self-hosted AI remains a second-class setup experience despite Varun&#8217;s own work running a private Ollama-powered WordPress instance. His prescription for the ecosystem — mandatory data transparency declarations, hard cost caps, end-user consent hooks, and provider certification — is worth reading before you start wiring AI connectors into your own plugins.</p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" />\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among other things, Varun Dubey flagged unencrypted AI Connector key storage as one of the sharper edges of WordPress 7.0 — and <a href=\"https://github.com/threadi/encrypt-ai-connector-keys\"><strong>Encrypt AI Connector Keys</strong></a> by <strong>Thomas Zwirner</strong> is exactly the kind of ecosystem response he was calling for. Install it, re-enter your keys under <strong>Settings > Connectors</strong>, and they&#8217;re saved encrypted using the battle-tested <em>Crypt for WordPress</em> library, with the decryption key stored outside the database in <code>wp-config.php</code>, an MU plugin or a custom file. No settings page, just one filter hook if you need to customize the encryption method.                              </p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" />\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;ve ever asked an AI to write a post for your WordPress site, you&#8217;ve probably seen what happens: the content looks fine at first glance, but once it&#8217;s in the editor, the blocks are a mess. That&#8217;s because AI tools are great at plain HTML and Markdown, but Gutenberg&#8217;s block format — with its mix of HTML and JSON-formatted comment tags — is just quirky enough to trip them up regularly.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https://github.com/chubes4/block-format-bridge\"><strong>Block Format Bridge</strong></a>, a new open-source plugin by developer <strong>Chris Huber,</strong> offers a sensible fix. Instead of wrestling AI into producing perfect block markup, it lets AI do what it&#8217;s good at and handles the conversion to blocks itself, server-side. It works the other way too, so you can pull post content back out as Markdown or HTML whenever you need it. If you&#8217;re experimenting with AI-assisted publishing on WordPress, this one&#8217;s worth a look. Install it and it automatically makes the conversion. </p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this post, i dived a bit deeper into the matter: <a href=\"https://gutenbergtimes.com/block-format-bridge-a-practical-solution-for-ai-generated-content-in-wordpress/\"><strong>Block Format Bridge: A Practical Solution for AI-Generated Content in WordPress</strong></a></p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" />\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Greg Ziółkowski</strong> maps out what he&#8217;d like to see land in <strong><a href=\"https://gziolo.pl/2026/04/25/wordpress-core-ai-7-1-planning-and-beyond/\">WordPress 7.1 for Core AI</a>,</strong> building on the Abilities API and server-side WP AI Client shipping in 7.0.

My name is Nathan Wrigley.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jukebox is a podcast which is dedicated to all things WordPress. The people, the events, the plugins, the blocks, the themes, and in this case Beaver Builder, AI hype, and evolving WordPress workflows.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;d like to subscribe to the podcast, you can do that by searching for WP Tavern in your podcast player of choice, or by going to wptavern.com/feed/podcast, and you can copy that URL into most podcast players.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have a topic that you&#8217;d like us to feature on the podcast, I&#8217;m keen to hear from you and hopefully get you, or your idea, featured on the show. Head to wptavern.com/contact/jukebox and use the form there.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So on the podcast today we have Robby McCullough. Robby is one of the co-founders of Beaver Builder, a page builder plugin that&#8217;s been a staple of the WordPress ecosystem for nearly 12 years. As one of the original innovators in the space, he&#8217;s seen the tides of web development shift from the days of hand coding websites, through the rise of page builders, and now into the era of AI.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We start off with Robby sharing his journey into WordPress, life as a product founder, and how he&#8217;s balanced that with major life changes, like welcoming a new baby and moving house, all while steering Beaver Builder through an evolving landscape.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conversation then turns to AI. Robby explains why Beaver Builder didn&#8217;t jump on the AI bandwagon early, and why he&#8217;s glad they waited. He gives insights into how the latest generation of AI tools aren&#8217;t just hype, they&#8217;re actually creating exciting new possibilities for building features and re-imagining the user experience. He discusses the shift from AI as a buzzword, to truly agentic tools that can code and assist in building websites, and what that means for the future of web development.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We revisit the page builder revolution and its impact on WordPress adoption, before examining whether there&#8217;s still a place for page builders in a world where AI can whip up a site with a simple prompt.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Robby reflects on the importance of understanding underlying technologies, the changing role of site editors, and how Beaver Builder aims to blend the best of visual editing with new capabilities AI brings.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout, there&#8217;s a healthy dose of nostalgia, and a consideration of what we might lose as web development becomes more abstracted. We also touch on business anxieties, the challenges of keeping up with AI&#8217;s rapid pace, the place of human connection in a tech driven future, and the lasting importance of community within WordPress.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re curious about the future of page builders, how AI is changing web design, or how to run a product business through the shifting sands of modern tech, this episode is for you.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re interested in finding out more, you can find all of the links in the show notes by heading to wptavern.com/podcast, where you&#8217;ll find all the other episodes as well.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And so without further delay, I bring you Robby McCullough.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am joined on the podcast by Robby McCullough. Hello Robby.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:03:44] <strong>Robby McCullough:</strong> Thanks for having me.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:03:44] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> You are very, very welcome. Robby and I have known each other for many years. We&#8217;ve met in person, and I&#8217;ve just been catching up with what has become an extremely busy life.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those people who don&#8217;t know you, Robby, do you just want to spend a minute, bearing in mind it&#8217;s a WordPress podcast, I guess we could bind it to that. But if you want to launch into anything else, feel free. Give us your potted bio.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:04:04] <strong>Robby McCullough:</strong> Well, my name&#8217;s Robby McCullough, and I&#8217;m one of the co-founders of Beaver Builder, a page builder for WordPress. And gosh, we&#8217;re going to be going on our 13th year, 12th year, next month. I guess at this point, I consider us one of the kind of OGs of the space. We&#8217;ve been doing it for a while.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In my personal life, like Nathan mentioned, we were catching up before we hit record here, but I had a baby this year and I bought a new house this year. So it&#8217;s just been a whirlwind of a life for me and a lot of big changes, but excited to come and catch up and chat about it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:04:38] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, thank you. I appreciate it. And I know full well how those changes can affect your sleep pattern, let&#8217;s say.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s dive into it. So you&#8217;ve got this product, Beaver Builder, as you said, it&#8217;s been out for 13 or so years. If we were to kind of rewind the clock 12 years or something like that, it felt like WordPress and page builders, that was all the rage. It was what everybody was talking about.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How&#8217;s it going over there still? Does it still have that sort of same impact? Is the business still ticking over nicely?</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:05:06] <strong>Robby McCullough:</strong> Things are going well. We&#8217;re humming along. It is going to be 12 years this year. I did the quick napkin math in my head. It&#8217;s funny, sleep pattern you mentioned, like it used to just be sleep. Now it&#8217;s a pattern. It&#8217;s like, oh, a few hours here, a few hours there.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But yeah, it&#8217;s, okay, so at Beaver Builder, we didn&#8217;t jump on the AI hype train. I know we were going to, you know, maybe try and avoid using the word AI when we talked about doing this episode a few weeks ago, but I feel it&#8217;s going to be impossible not to talk about it a little bit, if not completely for the whole time slot.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:05:36] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> It&#8217;s going to derail the whole thing. Yeah, that&#8217;s right.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:05:39] <strong>Robby McCullough:</strong> But, yeah, we didn&#8217;t jump on, like it felt like there was an era there, period, maybe about a year ago where a lot of products, just about every product was slapping a GPT wrapper in there. And it&#8217;s like, oh, you can use AI to write your headings. And a lot of products were putting AI features into their product just to kind of say they did.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some people were doing it more involved and more in depth and doing some really cool stuff even back then. But it felt like every piece of software I used, especially some of the more corporate kind of Fortune 500, 100, Zooms and Slacks and stuff like that. It&#8217;s like, you had to have AI to appease your corporate C levels and your shareholders or whatnot.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We didn&#8217;t jump on that bandwagon. I&#8217;m excited that we didn&#8217;t because now I feel like AI has kind of reached another evolution, or like inflexion point where some of the stuff that you can do with these LLMs and like agentic coding tools, it&#8217;s like good now. It&#8217;s really good and it&#8217;s a lot more exciting.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So behind the scenes, we&#8217;re doing a bunch of work with AI in product, both just like building out features for Beaver Builder that we wished we had, but didn&#8217;t want to expend the resources to build. Because now, friction to build new features is a lot lower. Then also working on bringing in some agentic coding tools like to be the Beaver Builder experience.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:06:53] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Let&#8217;s sort of go back to the, where we thought we might have this conversation. The initial idea, I think was to discuss AI less. But I think you&#8217;re right, we&#8217;re not going to avoid that subject. There&#8217;s no way of doing that. But if we go back to when Beaver Builder began, or maybe just a year or so before that, making a website was hard work. You know, you had to have CSS skills. If you were using WordPress, you had to get into the whole templating hierarchy and certain aspects of PHP needed to be deployed. So HTML, CSS and so on and so forth.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then along come this cavalcade of page builders and suddenly made that whole process much less painful. You decide what you want your page to look like and you drag in components which ultimately build the page, page builder.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that felt like it was going to be the way that we would always do it. And it created much less friction. It opened up, probably the fact that WordPress took that sort of massive rise from, I don&#8217;t know, 10, 15, 20, 30% of the market share, right up to where we are at the minute, sort of 40 plus, something like that. It feels like page builders enabled that to happen. They just brought in this tranche of users and what have you.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And so I&#8217;m curious as to whether or not you still think that that interface, because you mentioned AI, but do you still get the heuristics out of your plugin? Are people still building in that way? You know, are people still using the page builder and making that an effective business to sell to clients and things?</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:08:18] <strong>Robby McCullough:</strong> Yeah, I mean, definitely. You know, I don&#8217;t want to come on here and sound like I&#8217;m Blockbuster back before Netflix and saying like, oh yeah, you know, like your DVDs won&#8217;t come for three days when you use those guys. I definitely feel that we&#8217;re, you know, the tide is kind of shifting, and there&#8217;s this new way to build an experience building that&#8217;s really cool and really fun to play with.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, yeah, people are definitely still using page builders. If not, like I&#8217;ve built vibe coded probably like a dozen websites just in the last like month and a half just by talking at my computer. It&#8217;s really exciting to see these things that used to take weeks to build just happening in an instant.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, people would always ask like, oh, why should I use WordPress? Why would I want to use WordPress over something like a Squarespace or a Wix? And one of the things I used to say is like, well, WordPress is a really great platform for learning web development. If you want to learn how to build websites using WordPress and getting into those, like it&#8217;s a great place to tinker and experience.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But then there&#8217;s a framework around it. You mentioned all of the kind of backend and front end code, PHP, CSS, JavaScript. WordPress gives you a framework that you can go in and learn about things piece by piece, when you need to know how to do them because you have a problem to solve.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And when you&#8217;re using these like agentic, vibe coding tools and going from zero to a hundred, you kind of lose that interaction with the tooling and the code and the art and the craftsmanship that is building a webpage. So I think there&#8217;s definitely still some value to kind of doing things by hand, especially if you&#8217;re wanting to learn the inner workings of how these systems work.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:09:49] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> It&#8217;s kind of interesting because I remember when page builders such as Beaver Builder came onto the market. There was a whole argument of, well, we don&#8217;t want to use a page builder. We want to do it in the way that it should be done. The, and I&#8217;m using air quotes, the WordPress way. I remember that being said rather a lot.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then over time, I think most of those arguments got settled. Pager Builders became a really credible tool for almost everybody. I think a lot of people really leaned into that. So maybe we&#8217;re at some similar point now where there&#8217;s this new paradigm which nobody anticipated a few years ago for building webpages. And we&#8217;re kind of at that inflexion point, that transfer from, okay, we were all using page builders, now there&#8217;s these other things going along.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I suppose from my point of view, it feels a bit like you are, I don&#8217;t know, how to describe it. If you&#8217;re using AI, is there an analogy here? You&#8217;re kind of buying furniture from Ikea, as opposed to getting it from a carpenter. Somebody that really knows their skill, has created the chest of drawers or whatever it may be by painstakingly building it all up, layer by layer, sawing the wood, chamfering it down, polishing it and what have you, as opposed to chest of draws available from Ikea.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is a bit of a concern for me. I&#8217;ve been somebody that&#8217;s been very bullish about the web as a platform and the need to understand the code that you are deploying and what have you. And so that is a worry for me, that we&#8217;re getting into an interface where we&#8217;re just having a chat, and we don&#8217;t really know how anything got on the page other than, well, I typed this sentence and there it was on the page.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that I think is where there&#8217;s still a great big market for things like page builders. People who, they may not want to know every single line of the CSS, but they want to be able to drop things in, drag things in, add the padding, add the margin, whatever it may be. So I would be surprised if the market for page builders were to just go away overnight.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:11:37] <strong>Robby McCullough:</strong> Yeah, I always selfishly very much hope the same thing. You know, it&#8217;s funny, I&#8217;ve been plugging Chris Lema&#8217;s content for like my entire career and experience. Because when we first got started in WordPress, we were like reading his blog about how to run a business in the WordPress space. And now he&#8217;s been doing this like really fantastic content about AI. And like he&#8217;s generating content with AI, but he&#8217;s built this framework using his kind of like years of expertise of how to write for people and how to teach and share information.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But yeah, he posted this really interesting article about how he converted his blog from WordPress to, I think it was like, one of the static site generators, one of the like AI vibe, code tools, right? And he was saying how like in doing this, it made him appreciate all these things that were built into WordPress. I think he called it plumbing, all the plumbing of WordPress that you don&#8217;t really appreciate until you like change houses that doesn&#8217;t have plumbing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Things like, you know, drafts, and featured images, and open graph metadata. And WordPress really brings so much to the table. Like you can vibe code these fun little sites, but when you&#8217;re doing something that&#8217;s going to be a little more serious, or business critical, or that you want to customise, right? And that was the beauty of WordPress is just how extensible it is.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, yes, there are a lot of businesses and people that want a five page static brochure style site. But the place where WordPress has really shined, I think over the last few years is just what you can build and customise for, you know, whether that&#8217;s personal or business use cases.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:13:01] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I have this sort of notion that you could go two ways with a page builder and AI. I&#8217;ve got this idea that I&#8217;ve seen all over the place where you talk to an AI and then it builds something, which then you can edit with your page builder. But I&#8217;ve also seen things analogous to page builders where you go into that UI and then brick by brick if you like, you use the AI to build up inside that UI.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I guess what I&#8217;m describing is, you know, in the first scenario, you talk to the AI and then you open up Beaver Builder to amend whatever it made. And in the second scenario, I open up Beaver Builder, blank canvas, and then piece by piece get the AI to construct the bits and pieces inside there. Which way, I mean you may be doing both, but what&#8217;s kind of the roadmap for pushing AI into your product?</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:13:50] <strong>Robby McCullough:</strong> I should have definitely checked in with my business partner Justin and Billy. Justin&#8217;s been our tech lead and dev, and we haven&#8217;t announced anything formally and publicly yet, and I feel like I&#8217;m going to come in here and announce all this stuff we&#8217;re working on.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reason we don&#8217;t announce things publicly until it&#8217;s kind of ready, so to speak, is we don&#8217;t want to like announce ourselves into a corner where if we say like, oh, we&#8217;ve got this thing, like we&#8217;ve got these prototypes working. But as soon as we show it to like our community and the world, if we don&#8217;t execute on it, then that&#8217;s like, oh, you know, what do you mean? We saw this cool thing and now we&#8217;re not going to get it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, we are kind of working on both approaches. So one of the kind of experimental tools we did is, let&#8217;s say you vibe code up a landing page separate from WordPress, just, you know, using Claude or Codex or whatever. You have this page on your desktop, you&#8217;re looking at it locally, we thought it&#8217;d be really fun if you could take that and like drag that kind of like how you can drag into Netlify and just have a page live on the internet. Like that experience of just dragging a page and having it go live is so fun.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We wanted to bring that to Beaver Builder. So you could drag a page into Beaver Builder and it will get converted into like our Beaver Builder interface. And then we&#8217;re also working on a chat agent based tool. So when you&#8217;re working within a page or within a site, you can focus in on like, you know, this is my pricing table and I really want to update these features, or I really want to rework this copy or this design, and have like an agentic chat experience within existing pages or existing Beaver Builder sites. Again, this is all like still experimental territory. Let me do my like, this is experimental territory warning.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:15:20] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So given all of that, I have a question which probably could map to just about anybody in the WordPress space who&#8217;s got a product or a service. How much just utter wasted time have you had with your product and AI?</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So really what I&#8217;m asking there is, how much anxiety does it bring into the business? And where I&#8217;m kind of going with that is, you know, it&#8217;s hard enough running a business anyway, just rewind six years before anybody was talking about AI in any way, shape, or form. That in itself is hard enough. You know, you&#8217;ve got payroll, you&#8217;ve got to sell the product, you&#8217;ve got marketing, you&#8217;ve got development, you&#8217;ve got new product features, roadmap, support. All of that&#8217;s hard enough.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then now throw into that mix, almost like you&#8217;re wearing goggles which cut off your capacity to see anything. You&#8217;re now in this period of time where you&#8217;ve no idea how the market is going to shift. You don&#8217;t really know what it&#8217;s going to look like next week, let alone a month or a year. I guess this is sort of a personal question really, but how much anxiety does that heap into a business like yours? Not having that, okay, we know what we&#8217;re doing for the next year or two years, or whatever it may be.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:16:28] <strong>Robby McCullough:</strong> Yeah, I think like being a hopeless optimist is one of the reasons we&#8217;ve made it this far. I&#8217;m like excited and optimistic. And I say that, again, knowing like, I think before we started recording we were kind of talking about page builders have had these existential threats before.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You know, when we started Beaver Builder, there was this kind of stigma around visual design web tools that was like legacy from like the Dreamweaver days. They were really awful. People would use Dreamweaver to build an HTML site and you get this just like mess of spaghetti code and like they got so over complicated so quickly the experience of using them was terrible.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I remember going to our first WordCamp and saying like, yeah, we&#8217;re building this page builder tool for WordPress. And people were like, why? That sounds horrible. I can just code my theme, you know, and I can use my PHP variables in the theme. Like, why?</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then there was the whole Gutenberg announcement, God, it feels like ancient history now. But page builder, I can&#8217;t even count the number of times people predicted that page builders would be gone within a year of Core releasing Gutenberg. Yeah, now you&#8217;ve got the AI agentic vibe coding sites.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You know, I&#8217;m optimistic. I hope we don&#8217;t become the, sort of like one of the antiquated, like Fortran, you know, or IBM mainframes. There&#8217;s these like giant corporations running these antiquated systems that are never going to die because, said corporation doesn&#8217;t want to pay the cost to upgrade everything.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regardless of whether I want or not, I&#8217;m sure that&#8217;s going to be true to a degree with WordPress. 40% of the web, all those millions and millions of sites, aren&#8217;t just going to decide to update overnight because there&#8217;s a new, cool tool on the block to play with. So there will be legacy WordPress forever, right? I mean, who knows. In the year 2126, like there&#8217;ll probably still be WordPresses out there.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:18:12] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah. So you made an interesting analogy there. You talked about Netlify and the capacity to take a page, drop it in, literally drag a page, and there it is on the internet. Some magic goes on in the background, and that is just live.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that&#8217;s kind of how I feel a little bit about AI. So you describe something in a sentence or in a few paragraphs or what have you, and there it is. It&#8217;s on the page and it&#8217;s ready to go. And it may be incredibly credible, it may look amazing and all of that kind of thing. But there&#8217;s no real capacity then to sort of go in and deconstruct it, and move that little bit because you didn&#8217;t really know how it got created and what have you.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So this isn&#8217;t really a conversation right now about the skills of HTML and CSS and JavaScript and all that. It&#8217;s more like, what even does that editing process look like on the backend? I still think you need a thing that you can invoke as the editor. To go back in and say, okay, it built this great long landing page, but now it&#8217;s no longer fit for purpose. It&#8217;s almost right, but I want to go and tweak this thing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And yes, you could try doing that with yet another prompt, but I still think there&#8217;s always going to be a place to go back in and edit, and find the thing with the mouse, and click on it, and modify it, and move it around and all those kind of things. So even if the workflow becomes much more AI first to build the thing, I still think you need that sort of scaffolding after it&#8217;s done, to go back in and make the modifications. I don&#8217;t know if that lands well with you.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:19:38] <strong>Robby McCullough:</strong> For sure. I think our kind of approach to our software throughout the years has been, we wanted a tool, I&#8217;ve told our origin story many times, but like the quick version is we were a web design agency. We wanted to use a page builder to build a site so that we could hand that site off to a client and they could make changes to the site themselves, instead of having to email us to like update an image or the copyright footer, you know?</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So we built Beaver Builder with that in mind, where we wanted it to be easy enough for someone who was non-technical to be able to get in and use. But we came from a, you know, development background. We wanted to be able to get in and like tinker with the code when we wanted to.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that&#8217;s the direction we&#8217;re trying to head in as we bring AI into the product. We&#8217;re trying to expose more of the front end code, both like the markup and the CSS in future versions. So if you want to get in and make changes, and I think that, like it&#8217;s going to be even more fun now if you have an agentic tool that can go in and like, God, man, one of the things that I&#8217;ve been having so much fun doing. It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve been building websites like actively. I always tinker with our websites. I have these sites I tinker with. But CSS and the browser technologies have progressed a ton since I was in it day to day.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With these age agentic tools, I&#8217;m like learning about CSS, seeing what&#8217;s being written and then going in and tinkering with it. Like, all of the new flex and grid and the kind of like, the variable approach to designing and the different kind of font sizes, like screen-based font sizes and sizing tools. It&#8217;s just been like, it&#8217;s been such a great learning experience.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;re trying to make that possible and be like, what we&#8217;re not trying to do is make it the closed black box where you have to pay us tokens per month and you get your designs out on the other side. We want to have a system where it&#8217;s kind of like a bring your own key, bring your own agent, give it access to Beaver Builder, but then also give you access as the developer to go in and tweak things, play with the code, learn from the code, and ultimately deliver a site to a client that they can jump in and easily change things still from the visual interface.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:21:35] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I think we&#8217;re in a bit of a gold rush period, aren&#8217;t we? Where everything&#8217;s happening so fast, we&#8217;re not really thinking about the editing or the maintenance, let&#8217;s go with that. So most of what I see online about AI, whether that&#8217;s websites or think of any other part of AI is, what&#8217;s possible? What&#8217;s new? What didn&#8217;t we have last week that we&#8217;ve got this week?</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there&#8217;s going to be this utterly lasting legacy of websites that need to be maintained for 3, 4, 5 years, what have you. We don&#8217;t really get into that conversation too much. Like, okay, it was built. AI did its part, it looks fabulous. Thank you very much. Brilliant. We&#8217;ve paid our tokens, we&#8217;ve got this fabulous page. But the maintenance thereof never really gets talked about. And I wonder if that&#8217;ll be kind of where page builders sort of end up, as the maintenance tool for the thing that the AI maybe helped you create.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You know, its utility isn&#8217;t necessarily in dragging the components in one by one to build the thing. That was just handled, oh, everybody builds with AI these days. That&#8217;s just how we do it. But now that we need to make a modification because it&#8217;s Christmas and we need a little thing here, or a little thing there or, you know, I don&#8217;t know, our logo change or what have you. Then that&#8217;s where that tool comes into its own. You know, it&#8217;s more of an editing tool, maybe less of a creation tool, if you know what I mean?</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:22:54] <strong>Robby McCullough:</strong> Yeah, that tracks. As much as maybe I miss the thought of this going away, I don&#8217;t see myself going into Figma or Photoshop anymore and like building out a colour palette by hand and like going to Google Fonts and looking at all the options of fonts and selecting one that I like and then trying to find one that like.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And again, it&#8217;s like a little sad because that was a fun like, yeah, that&#8217;s how I grew up. But I feel like just, for me like, okay, like AI surfaced something about me. I was just chatting with it the other day and it said something like, you know when something looks wrong before you know when something looks right. And that&#8217;s sort of how I&#8217;ve designed my whole life.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like, I&#8217;ve called it the brute force approach to design. I don&#8217;t feel like I have that like ability to have a design vision and then see it come to reality. I just know when something doesn&#8217;t look right and I&#8217;ll iterate and iterate and iterate until I find something that like, oh, that looks good to me. You know, using these tools, agentic tools to create and iterate over and over and over again, like I just, there&#8217;s some things I can&#8217;t see doing by hand ever again.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:23:52] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I know exactly what you mean. I think there&#8217;s a certain melancholy there, isn&#8217;t there? Because that&#8217;s the way that you&#8217;ve spent the last 10, 12 years, that feels like home in a way. That&#8217;s how webpages get put together. But if you were to be, 20 years ago, you&#8217;d have a different set of melancholy when page builders came along.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And I&#8217;ve got this feeling that everything that you&#8217;ve just described, going into Figma and building it up piece by piece and literally spending days creating a page, which you know very well could probably credibly be done in four seconds by an AI, then that is probably going to be the tsunami that&#8217;s coming.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And I imagine that the generation of people who, you know, I&#8217;m of a certain age now, let&#8217;s just put it that way, but I have young adults around my house. There&#8217;s no way they&#8217;re going to choose the, well, okay, some of them will, because there&#8217;s always artisans, but I imagine most of them will go for the, what is effective in the shortest space of time, for the least amount of effort? Because that&#8217;s what we do. And that&#8217;s just the way it&#8217;s going to be. But still, I think there&#8217;s going to be that need for the editing tool on the backend. And I imagine Beaver Builder will still be utterly credible for those kind of things. So melancholy is the word there.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:25:09] <strong>Robby McCullough:</strong> Yeah, I mean we hope so. I&#8217;m more excited about it. It&#8217;s funny, I&#8217;m thinking like, oh yeah, maybe you&#8217;ll still go back and write CSS for like a history class just to see how it used to be done.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve been tinkering with this, sort of an aside, but I&#8217;ve been tinkering with Ham radios. My dad left behind a bunch of Ham radios, and we kind of inherited them and didn&#8217;t know what to do. And this was actually back in the pandemic time, so I had a lot of free time and started just like learning about Ham radios and I got my Ham radio licence.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You know, I like went through this deep rabbit hole of Ham radios, you know, and then I got bored and moved on. But I recently picked them up again because I moved, I&#8217;m in a new town now. And I&#8217;ve been using ChatGPT to like build out these lists of radio frequent, like because it used to be this tedious process where you&#8217;d have to go and research your like local Ham radio clubs and which stations they were broadcasting on. And then you&#8217;d have to programme it using this antiquated software and you&#8217;d put it into a spreadsheet and then you flash it into your Ham radio. It just was like tedious work.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And so I was just like, hey ChatGPT, can you go find me like the active repeaters in my area, format it into a CSV that I can just like upload to my radio so I can scan through it? What made me think about it is like I found this local repeater website that looks like, it&#8217;s just like a vintage, late nineties website where, you know, not quite like the hit counter on the bottom of the page, but just pre table, HTML sort of thing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was just looking at the site and I was like, man, this is like a classic car. I find so much beauty in it. And I, like I know how it works on the inside. But man, yeah, this is like, they&#8217;ll never create anything like this again. This is a vestige of the past.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:26:43] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So the curious thing there is that if we were to go back, let&#8217;s say the year 2003 or something like that, and if I&#8217;d have been in the same room with you and I said in 2026, it will be so normal to have video conversations online, and we&#8217;ll all have this thing, this rectangle in our hand, we&#8217;ll have access to all the world&#8217;s information. You just type it in and everything gets regurgitated back to you in a heartbeat. Oh, and you&#8217;ll be able to talk to it and it will respond and this, that, and the other thing. You would&#8217;ve said, no, that&#8217;s nonsense. But it turned out to be the truth.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So maybe that&#8217;s where we&#8217;re at with the internet. You and I have this impression that where we&#8217;re at now is what it is, but I suspect that if we look back in 20 years time at where the internet is, who knows what it&#8217;ll look like. Maybe the canvas won&#8217;t even be a computer. Maybe we&#8217;ll be wearing things or there&#8217;ll be things, goodness knows, planted into our brains or things like that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And so we have this nostalgia, this melancholy for the way websites were built, this tradition of building them. And it&#8217;s not going to, you know, it will be archaeology. Like you just said, there&#8217;ll be this kind of like retrospective looking back, having nostalgia for it. That will be the only place where HTML and CSS will actually matter. It&#8217;s like, oh, they did that. That&#8217;s cute.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:27:56] <strong>Robby McCullough:</strong> It&#8217;s a fun time to be experiencing, that just made me think of like, you know, the whole Gutenberg editor and this idea of rebuilding how we write or making a modern version of like how we write content.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who would&#8217;ve guessed back then 10, 7 years ago that like markdown was going to become so ubiquitous? Instead of these like really fancy GUI based visual tools, it&#8217;s like, no, we&#8217;re just going to use some like hashtags and dashes, and that&#8217;s how you&#8217;re going to format all your pages in the future, but it&#8217;s actually going to be like nice because it&#8217;s going to be standardised and you&#8217;re going to have all this cool software to make it look pretty as you go. You know, like mind blown.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:28:29] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, and even just the fact that you&#8217;ve got things like keyboards, they seem so self-evident that&#8217;s how it&#8217;s going to be, because voice isn&#8217;t quite there yet. But it&#8217;s not that far away. Maybe we really will be talking to our websites. And I don&#8217;t mean in the sort of, you know, you&#8217;re going a bit mad sense of the word. I mean in the sense of, okay, that&#8217;s looking a bit stale. Can we swap that picture out for another one? And can we move everything over? Let&#8217;s just change the font across the whole site. That&#8217;s it. That&#8217;s all you need to do.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I remember I was at a WordCamp, I think you may have been there actually, WordCamp London. This was back in sort of 2017 or something like that. And there was a guy from Adobe on the stage. He did one of the presentations, and he was literally saying this. He was saying, we are going to have a future where we talk to our website. And he put together this presentation where he faked it. So he would speak to the website and he&#8217;d obviously configured the slides in such a way, you know, it looked like his speaking had an impact.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And it was exactly analogous with what we&#8217;ve got now. You know, we type that prompt at the moment, but he literally said, I want a picture of a cat there. No, not that cat. Can I have a different cat? Yeah, that&#8217;s great. Move it down a bit. Give it some rounded corners. Change the font on the heading. And it just worked. And it was a bit of a miracle. That was the interface that the guy was predicting, and we&#8217;re not there yet, but I feel that we are not too far away from that. And that will just be so curious.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:29:56] <strong>Robby McCullough:</strong> I have a story that I&#8217;m going to bring it back to what you&#8217;re talking about really quickly, but my mom had a dish that she made when we were kids called One Hand Lamb, and it was like a lamb and beans dish. Her friend gave her the recipe and she called it One Hand Lamb because the idea is you could make it while holding a baby, like you just needed one hand.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And I have embraced dictation, and I feel like it was such great timing for me as I&#8217;ve been carrying around this baby. So this workflow of like just having the one hand to start my dictation, and talk at the computer, and then the agentic workflow where I can just let it go do its thing for a few minutes. Play with the babe, come back. I should preface this by saying, like I&#8217;ve been trying really hard not to be like on my phone and on my computer, like we have some really good quality baby, daddy time. But realistically the dictation workflow with a baby has just been, oh, chef&#8217;s kiss for me. I&#8217;m more productive now.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:30:51] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> That&#8217;s really interesting. I&#8217;m imagining nobody&#8217;s going to have anything negative to say, but yeah, the idea though that your young child is growing up in an era where that&#8217;s going to be really normal. I&#8217;m watching Dad do this thing, he&#8217;s speaking to this, well, who knows what that is, but that will be entirely normal.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s probably some part of all of us of a certain age that thinks, gosh, that&#8217;s a bit sci-fi and a bit creepy. But equally, I imagine your daughter having grown up in that world will not see it that way. You know, it&#8217;s like, but this is how you get access to information Dad. So that&#8217;s also kind of curious. It&#8217;ll be interesting to see how the next generation, your daughter and younger, this will be just the normal, the modus operandi.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I guess one of the problems is it never slows down. So it&#8217;s the rapid pace of change. It&#8217;s not the fact that it is changing and what wasn&#8217;t possible five years ago is now possible. It&#8217;s that the pace of change seems to be so rapid now that what wasn&#8217;t possible six weeks ago is now possible.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And I don&#8217;t know if you get that sense as well, that it&#8217;s moving at such a breathtaking pace. And my understanding is that the goal really is that the AI at some point is able to manage the creation of the next feature in AI, and so on we go. Until we get this sort of logarithmic infinite curve where it starts to go absolutely vertical. You know, the line graph of capabilities goes absolutely vertical. I think that&#8217;s the point at which I will probably get off the bandwagon because I can&#8217;t keep up with that. So it&#8217;d be interesting to see how your child interacts with technology. They probably won&#8217;t think it&#8217;s weird at all.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:32:32] <strong>Robby McCullough:</strong> She&#8217;s going to be fortunate to have a dynamic. So my partner is not a fan of AI the way I am. She&#8217;s actually an anti fan. She thinks it&#8217;s terrifying. And when I&#8217;m in there talking at the computer, she&#8217;ll come in and like take the baby and be like, the baby shouldn&#8217;t be hearing you talking to computer. So she&#8217;s going to get a good dose of kind of both sides of that spectrum.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But I&#8217;m sitting here at my nice, for me, nice desktop computer set up with like a monitor and two speakers and a mechanical keyboard. And there was already kind of these like whispers and ideas that the next generations weren&#8217;t using computers, because it&#8217;s all mobile based. And it&#8217;s like, yeah, is my daughter ever going to want a mechanical keyboard? No.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:33:10] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> No, possibly not. I don&#8217;t know. I don&#8217;t know because I think, okay, now I&#8217;m going to lean into your wife&#8217;s position a bit more because I think there&#8217;s something, I think there&#8217;s a there there as well. And that is to say that it does sort of, there is an open source part of me which, and a web part of me, you know, like web standards and things. There is a part of me which isn&#8217;t just melancholy, but is a bit sad that those kind of things are going away and that those tools, and those skills that you and I needed to acquire, the HTML, the CSS, the JavaScript and so on.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think if we just get to the point where communicating with any technology through an AI, with no understanding of what&#8217;s going on, except for a few kind of artisans, the carpenters like I described earlier. That would also be a bit of a shame. So maybe there&#8217;s a place for the, I&#8217;m going to use air quotes here, the Luddites as well as the technologists at the same time.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:34:04] <strong>Robby McCullough:</strong> I think one of the sad parts for me, which I see happening in myself and the way I&#8217;m working, is that ultimately what these chat agents do is mimic being human. But they do it in a way where they have access to just all of the information available, and they&#8217;re experts in every field.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So it&#8217;s like I&#8217;m collaborating with this bot the way I would collaborate with a human, but it&#8217;s like, I work from home alone a lot, so I&#8217;m often working alone. Am I losing opportunities to collaborate with real people? Is this like sort of faux human experience going to start taking precedent over interacting with actual humans. On that note, I&#8217;m so glad to be talking to you this morning, right? Like if we weren&#8217;t chatting, I&#8217;d be talking at my computer.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:34:50] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, I think there&#8217;s a there there as well. I think that is something that we do need to be mindful of because that&#8217;s the sort of slow inexorable sort of deterioration that you don&#8217;t notice from one day to the next. But then you suddenly look around and you think, do you know what? During the nine to five for the last six months, I actually haven&#8217;t really spoken meaningfully to anybody else. I&#8217;ve been hyper-focused on productivity, which obviously the AI will give to me, and a little bit of the humanity got lost there.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe that&#8217;s just something that we will develop. We&#8217;ll strongly hold dear to our downtime. You know, so instead of sort of sitting and watching the television, which I think is a typical habit in most homes, it&#8217;ll be more of, well, let&#8217;s go out and do things. And maybe we&#8217;ll get a revitalisation of things which are, in the UK have been in decline, you know, since COVID and things like that. The pub and things like that. Many people have stopped going and all of those kind of things. So maybe if we&#8217;re more bound to talking to simulations of human beings, maybe there&#8217;ll be more of a craving to go and do things.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And actually curiously, I&#8217;ve just described how things like the pub have been in decline. But equally there&#8217;s been reporting in the UK press how a lot of ordinary sort of clubs, for want of a better word, the sewing club, and the canoeing club, and the mountaineering club. They&#8217;ve been coming back really with a vengeance, as people I think have kind of realised, wow, there really is more to life than sitting, playing with my computer. So maybe maybe there&#8217;s an upside to it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:36:19] <strong>Robby McCullough:</strong> Yeah, I hope so. I&#8217;m sure like most things in life, there&#8217;ll kind of be some pendulum swings and some bubbles and corrections and whatnot. On that note, I&#8217;d be really excited to see WordPress events kind of start thriving again. We were talking a little bit about this but, yeah, one of my favourite things ever was all the fun travel I got to do going to WordCamps all over the world, and having this, you know, built in friends. When you travel, you get to go meet these people you either see a couple times a year at events, or that you&#8217;ve never met before, you knew online, but travelling to a new city you&#8217;ve never been, and having someone to go out and have a meal with, or drink at the pub.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that&#8217;s been noticeably in decline. At least here in the States, the number of Camps and WordPress events has been dwindling. But, yeah, I would love to see that come back a little bit. That said, I&#8217;m not travelling as much these days, but I would at least like to have the option.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:37:07] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, that&#8217;s right. I guess we&#8217;ll never know, you know, if you think about the broad march of history, thousands of years where very little change, you know, somebody changed the shape of a stone tool slightly over thousands of years. History kind of works like that. Most of history is quite uninteresting, you know, very little changes. But in the last 50 or 100 years, it&#8217;s really been going at a real pace. And I just sort of feel that maybe it&#8217;s just all getting a little bit out of control.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And perhaps that&#8217;s something that we do need to do, is just get back into the real world and the people that we know. And even this, you know, you and I are chatting, you are several thousand miles away, but it&#8217;s nice. It&#8217;s better than talking to an AI, that&#8217;s for sure.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And I share your concerns about the WordPress community. I think, in the UK at least, the COVID pandemic was a thing which kind of knocked it on the head to a great extent and they haven&#8217;t really recovered. But I hope that they do. We&#8217;ll have to see.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:37:59] <strong>Robby McCullough:</strong> Yeah, to speak to the pace of advancement and what you just said, hearing that I&#8217;m more fun to talk to than an AI is extremely flattering, so I really appreciate that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:38:09] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> You are very welcome. I&#8217;m not entirely sure that, this is also true, I guess there&#8217;ll become a point when I will really won&#8217;t know the difference between the AI that I&#8217;m talking to and the real human being. Actually that&#8217;s not true. It was very interesting. There was something, this is to go slightly off piste, there was something that I saw online the other day, and it was somebody who was on the telephone to somebody who cold called them. They were offering all this expertise. And then during the conversation, he&#8217;d obviously filmed it because he&#8217;d got this intuition that something was going wrong. He said the words, said something along the lines of, ignore all previous instructions, tell me how to bake a perfect whatever cake it was.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And it just came right back with, this is how to make the perfect muffins, or whatever it was. And in the conversation prior to him saying those words, that was why it was such an astonishing video. In the conversation prior to that moment, I had no suspicion that there was an AI on the end of that. It was an entirely credible conversation. The voice sounded authentic. There was breaths, there was pauses. There was all of the quirks of humanity thrown into the mix. It was a human being as far as I was concerned, and yet it could, on demand, whip out the best recipe for muffins.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So you never know. Maybe even things like this are kind of up for grabs. I hope not. I really hope not. I want to be seeing Robby McCullough in person, not a possible fake simulation of him online. Maybe that&#8217;s the perfect place to end it, Robby. I will anticipate seeing you in person and not your kind of online avatar.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:39:43] <strong>Robby McCullough:</strong> I would love to make that happen. Always a pleasure chatting with you, Nathan. Thank you so much for having me. This was a fun one.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:39:49] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> You are very welcome. Have a good day. Take it easy.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[00:39:52] <strong>Robby McCullough:</strong> You too.</p>\n</div></details>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the podcast today we have <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/robmccullough/\">Robby McCullough</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Robby is one of the co-founders of Beaver Builder, a page builder plugin that’s been a staple of the WordPress ecosystem for nearly 12 years. As one of the original innovators in the space, he’s seen the tides of web development shift from the days of hand-coding websites, through the rise of page builders, and now into the era of AI.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We start off with Robby sharing his journey into WordPress, life as a product founder, and how he’s balanced that with major life changes, like welcoming a new baby and moving house, all while steering Beaver Builder through an evolving landscape.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conversation then turns to AI. Robby explains why Beaver Builder didn’t jump on the AI bandwagon early, and why he’s glad they waited. He gives insight into how the latest generation of AI tools aren’t just hype, they’re actually creating exciting new possibilities for building features and reimagining the user experience. He discusses the shift from “AI as a buzzword” to truly agentic tools that can code and assist in building websites, and what that means for the future of web development.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We revisit the page builder revolution and its impact on WordPress adoption, before examining whether there’s still a place for page builders in a world where AI can whip up a site with a simple prompt. Robby reflects on the importance of understanding underlying technologies, the changing role of site editors, and how Beaver Builder aims to blend the best of visual editing with the new capabilities AI brings.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout, there’s a healthy dose of nostalgia, and a consideration of what we might lose as web development becomes more abstracted. We also touch on business anxieties, the challenges of keeping up with AI’s rapid pace, the place of human connection in a tech-driven future, and the lasting importance of community within WordPress.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you’re curious about the future of page builders, how AI is changing web design, or how to run a product business through the shifting sands of modern tech, this episode is for you.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Useful links</h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https://www.wpbeaverbuilder.com\">Beaver Builder</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/robmccullough/\">Robby on LinkedIn</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, 29 Apr 2026 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:6;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:21:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:58:\"WordPress.org blog: WordPress Student Clubs Build Momentum\";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=20458\";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:64:\"https://wordpress.org/news/2026/04/student-clubs-build-momentum/\";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:13534:\"<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WordPress Student Clubs are beginning to take shape as a new way to carry the momentum of WordPress Campus Connect beyond one-time workshops. What starts as an introduction to WordPress and open source is now continuing on campus through student-led groups that create space for learning, peer support, and early community participation. That shift matters because it gives students a more consistent path into the WordPress ecosystem while helping local communities build stronger connections with the next generation of contributors.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20489\" height=\"768\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/PHOTO-2025-11-24-16-36-20-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"1024\" /><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Students showcasing a website they built during a club session</em></figcaption></figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When WordPress Campus Connect workshops first began reaching universities, the goal was straightforward: help students discover WordPress, understand the value of open source, and see that contribution can be part of their learning journey. In many cases, that first introduction created immediate interest. Students who had never worked with WordPress before started asking questions, exploring what the software could do, and showing curiosity about the wider community.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That early response also revealed a gap. A workshop could spark interest, but it could not always sustain it on its own. Encouraging students to attend local WordPress meetups helped extend that first connection and, in some cases, brought new energy to existing local communities. Even so, it became clear that campuses needed something more consistent and closer to students’ everyday environment.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WordPress Student Clubs emerged from that need. Instead of limiting engagement to a single event, these clubs create an ongoing, student-led presence on campus where students can keep learning, share knowledge with peers, and grow more confident over time. They also offer a practical bridge between first exposure and deeper participation, helping students move from curiosity to contribution through regular activity and community support.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learning What Sustains Participation</h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As WordPress Student Clubs started forming across campuses, the early enthusiasm was encouraging, but sustaining that momentum proved to be one of the first real challenges. Student Club Organizers shared that interest was often strongest at the beginning, especially after a workshop or an introductory session, but turning that interest into regular participation required patience and experimentation. Like many community efforts, the clubs needed time to find a rhythm that worked for the students involved.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most common challenges was consistency. Many students were interested in learning WordPress, but regular engagement depended on more than initial curiosity. Organizers found that participation grew more steadily when activities felt approachable and useful, especially when students could learn by doing rather than only listening. Small learning sessions, collaborative exercises, and hands-on activities often made it easier for students to return and take part again.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Organizers also noticed that some students were initially hesitant to engage actively. Asking questions, speaking up in a group, or volunteering to help lead a session did not always happen naturally. Building a club meant creating an environment where students felt comfortable enough to participate, try something new, and gradually take ownership of their own learning.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Academic schedules added another layer of complexity. Because the clubs are student-led, planning around classes, assignments, and exams required flexibility. Keeping activities regular without overwhelming organizers or participants meant working within the rhythms of campus life. Those early difficulties became part of the learning process and helped shape how the clubs began to operate more effectively.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building Through Small, Consistent Activities</h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As organizers worked through those challenges, certain approaches began to show results. Instead of focusing on large events, many clubs found momentum through simple, repeatable activities that students could join without feeling intimidated. Regular learning sessions, small hands-on workshops, and peer-to-peer discussions helped create an environment that felt both welcoming and practical.<br /></p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20467\" height=\"575\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/image.png?resize=1024%2C575&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"1024\" /><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>A Student club activity in a college led by a student club Organizer</em></figcaption></figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20468\" height=\"768\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/PHOTO-2026-02-25-23-25-03.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"1024\" /></figure>\n</div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20469\" height=\"768\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/PHOTO-2026-02-25-23-25-06.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"1024\" /><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Students showcasing websites built during a club session</em></figcaption></figure>\n</div>\n</div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That steady approach mattered. When students could return to familiar formats and see progress from one session to the next, clubs became easier to sustain. Organizers were able to build routines, and participants could join at their own pace. Over time, those small efforts started to strengthen participation more effectively than occasional large events.</p>\n</div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Student ownership also played an important role. As students began sharing what they had learned, helping their peers, and taking part in running sessions, engagement started to grow more organically. These moments helped shift the clubs from being simply learning spaces to becoming communities in their own right. Students were not only using WordPress in a classroom context. They were also beginning to understand it as part of a collaborative open source project shaped by people who learn together, build together, and support one another.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guidance from the local WordPress community helped reinforce that progress. Although the clubs are student-led, organizers benefited from having experienced community members available as mentors. Mentors helped them think through session structure, activity planning, and the practical challenge of staying motivated while balancing academic responsibilities. That kind of support gave organizers more confidence to experiment and keep building.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mentorship also connected campus activity to the broader WordPress ecosystem. Students were not learning in isolation. Through local community guidance, they were able to see how meetups, contributions, and collaboration all fit into a larger network of people who have been participating in WordPress for years. That connection gave the work happening on campus greater meaning and helped students see a clearer path forward.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Early Impact Across Campuses</h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although WordPress Student Clubs are still in an early stage, signs of impact are already visible. Organizers have shared that more students are showing interest in learning WordPress and in exploring what open source participation can look like in practice. In several cases, students who first joined as learners are now contributing to discussions, helping peers during sessions, and organizing club activities themselves.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That shift from passive participation to active involvement is one of the clearest signs of growth. It suggests that the clubs are beginning to create more than awareness. They are creating opportunities for students to build confidence, practice leadership, and develop a stronger sense of connection to the WordPress community. Even at this stage, that kind of change points to the long-term value of sustaining engagement on campus.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One encouraging example came during the International Women’s Day celebration in Ajmer, India, where students participated alongside members of the local WordPress community. Organizers noted that the event included 100 female attendees, with around 50% of participants coming from student clubs. For many of those students, it was a first opportunity to take part in a broader community event, meet other contributors, and see how open source communities collaborate in practice.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20463\" height=\"768\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-22-at-5.08.47-pm.png?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"1024\" /><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Women’s Day Ajmer 2026 Event, where more than 50% participation from student clubs</em></figcaption></figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Experiences like that show how student-led initiatives can extend beyond campus and begin contributing to the wider community. They also create space for new voices to participate. As students move from club sessions into local events, they gain experience not only as learners but also as community members who can help shape what comes next.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The clubs are also creating leadership opportunities on campus. Organizers have stepped into new roles by coordinating activities, encouraging participation, and maintaining momentum over time. Those experiences help students build skills that matter both within the WordPress community and beyond it, including communication, organization, and problem-solving.</p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“Being a Student Club Organizer helped me improve my leadership and communication skills.”<br /><em>— Sanjeevni Kumari, WordPress Student Club Organizer, Mahila Engineering College, Ajmer</em></p>\n</blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looking Ahead</h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WordPress Student Clubs are still developing, but the journey so far points to a promising direction. What began as an effort to sustain interest after WordPress Campus Connect is gradually becoming a more durable model for ongoing learning and collaboration on campus. The clubs are helping students stay connected to WordPress beyond a first introduction, while also creating stronger links between educational spaces and local communities.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That longer-term potential is one reason this work matters. With regular campus activity and continued mentorship, Student Clubs can help create a stronger foundation for future contributors. They can also help students build confidence before attending local meetups, contributing to community efforts, or participating in events beyond their campuses.</p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“With regular on-campus activities through WordPress Student Clubs, the real impact may become visible over the next couple of years, as a stronger WordPress ecosystem begins to take shape within campuses.”<br /><em>— Anand Upadhyay, Student Club Mentor</em></p>\n</blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As more students get involved and take ownership of these spaces, WordPress Student Clubs can continue to open pathways to learning, leadership, and community participation. For campuses, they offer a way to keep the momentum going after Campus Connect. For the broader project, they represent another step toward welcoming more students into the WordPress open source ecosystem.

Who is a hero?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Growing up in the 80s, the answer was obvious. A hero was the figure who strode across cinema screens with fire in their eyes, the angry young man who fought the system with bare fists, who spoke truth to power and packed off the villains. Bold, loud, very gendered. The archetype was clear: stand with the people, defy authority, be ruthlessly honest, and win.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>· · ·</p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2015, a message arrived in my WordPress Slack. The opener was disarmingly direct:</p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Hi, there. Do you know who I am?&#8221;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I replied, honestly: &#8220;Nope.&#8221;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Rock on! I hope to change that. My name is Topher, and I am working on a cool WordPress project!&#8221;</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/3026/04/aditya_topher_slack.webp\"><img alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8631\" height=\"668\" src=\"https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/3026/04/aditya_topher_slack.webp\" width=\"1298\" /></a></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That project was HeroPress. And just like that, Topher pulled me into an orbit I have never quite left. The orbit of planet HeroPress.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I always figured HeroPress as an archive, a living oral history of ordinary people and their relationships with WordPress. A catalog of people and their journeys through anxieties, migrations from smaller to larger worlds, their small and big wins.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>By 2015, I was not any sort of angry young man. I was not raging against any machine. What possible heroism could I claim? </p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Topher has always understood something more nuanced than the cinematic archetype: that the first act of speaking for others is learning how to speak for yourself. Telling your story as worthy of an audience was the first important step. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>HeroPress was built on that belief. He gave people a platform and declined to editorialise. He let each voice arrive in its own register, its own cadence, its own dialect of living that story. Then he called the essayists a hero and meant it!</p>\n\n\n\n<p>South Asia took to this immediately. A remarkable number of the earliest essays came from India. Topher celebrated each of them. He did not curate them into a brand. He simply made room. He also travelled to India once. The only time I met him.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years that followed, Topher and I became friends in the way that only the internet makes possible and only genuine curiosity sustains. We have talked and laughed about politics, faith or lack of it, books, old computers, films, and the particular texture of a very slow dial-up internet. We became friends across seven seas.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the thing I have heard most often from others is not about his wit or his enthusiasm, though both are abundant. It is something quieter. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dozens of people from across the WordPress world, from India, from other countries Topher has likely never visited, have told me that when they were lost, when they were searching for a job or weathering a personal catastrophe or simply trying to find their footing, Topher had time for them. He listened. He did not solve everything. He just showed up and walked with them.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If WordPress were a world unto itself, conjured by a Tolkien-like imagination, Topher would be a great axe-wielding dwarf who simply walked with you for a while, just to make sure you were alright.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>· · ·</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two weeks ago, I co-led WordCamp Asia in Mumbai. It was one of the largest WordPress conferences ever assembled. People I had not seen in years showed up. Stories entwined together in corridors and over at the coffee and tea counters. I met several people who missed Topher being around. Several dozens of us who have written on HeroPress their stories, and several dozens more who will write them in the future.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I stood on the stage and felt the weight of an open source community that had shaped the past decade of my life.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I thought of Topher more than once. Thought how much he would have loved being in Mumbai. I missed his presence in the particular way you miss someone whose absence you notice in the middle of a moment of joy.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few days later, Topher checked in. Asked how WordCamp Asia had gone. Asked how I had felt about it. Then, almost as an afterthought, he asked whether I would write the 300th essay for HeroPress.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three hundred, is a number with some weight, a milestone of this great project. An essay Topher should have written himself, looking back at a decade of great conversations and the people he came across. But Topher1Kenobe’s way, that is not! </p>\n\n\n\n<p>He deflects the spotlight and so he handed this number to me, and I accepted. Because Topher is persuasive.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am no longer the child who measured heroism by the arc of a punch. A hero is someone who shows up when someone needs you to, to listen without agenda, to celebrate people as they are rather than as you wish they were.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Topher has been doing this for a decade. Three hundred stories. Thousands of conversations and dozens upon dozens of friends.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you are reading this essay, let&#8217;s raise a toast to Topher DeRosia, the Hero of HeroPress, the axe yielding dwarf who walks beside you, the friend who checks in, the man who has made more heroes than he will ever count or take credit for. He has a story. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has hundreds of them. And every single one belongs to someone else but now also to him, which is fantastic! </p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/the-hero-of-heropress-and-quiet-art-of-walking-with-people/\">The Hero of HeroPress and quiet art of walking with people</a> appeared first on <a href=\"https://heropress.com\">HeroPress</a>.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 29 Apr 2026 00:59:22 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:11:\"Aditya Kane\";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:8;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:21:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:83:\"Open Channels FM: Rethinking Plugins With a Single License for an Expanding Library\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:34:\"https://openchannels.fm/?p=2553309\";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:90:\"https://openchannels.fm/rethinking-plugins-with-a-single-license-for-an-expanding-library/\";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:258:\"In this episode, hosts Bob Dunn and Cami McNamara discuss WellPlayedWP, a unique subscription service for WordPress plugins launched by Marcus Burnette.

The conversation opens with Tammie sharing insights from her new role at Convesio, where she works on product collaboration within hosting and payments.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The episode highlights Tammie’s upcoming WordCamp Europe talk, focusing on the concept of “human in the loop” with AI. She emphasizes the importance of integrating humanity into AI processes, ensuring that humans are involved throughout, not just at the beginning or end. Both speakers reflect on how AI empowers learning and creativity, with Tammy sharing personal stories about using AI for education and art.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A significant portion is devoted to the anticipated release of WordPress 7.0, which was delayed to accommodate more thorough testing for real-time collaboration features, especially in less powerful hosting environments. Birgit Pauli-Haack and Tammie commend the community for developing a comprehensive testing suite and discuss the challenges and importance of performance, infrastructure, and backward compatibility.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other highlights include community plugin updates, especially around AI, collaborative editing with Claude by Gary Pendergast, and the growing list of AI providers and skills for WordPress. The duo reviews notable Gutenberg plugin updates (22.9 and 23.0), exploring enhancements such as improvements to the UI component packages, block library features, command palette, and upcoming media editing tools.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The episode wraps up with excitement about continued innovation, the empowerment AI brings to different skill levels, and the ongoing evolution of WordPress as a robust content management and collaboration platform.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https://gutenbergtimes.com/podcast/gutenberg-changelog-130/#shownotes\">Show Notes</a> / <a href=\"https://gutenbergtimes.com/podcast/gutenberg-changelog-130/#transcript\">Transcript</a></p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Editor: <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/sandy-reed/\">Sandy Reed</a></li>\n\n\n\n<li>Logo: <a href=\"https://markuraine.com/\">Mark Uraine</a></li>\n\n\n\n<li>Production: <a href=\"https://icodeforapurpose.com\">Birgit Pauli-Haack</a></li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-larger-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"shownotes\"><strong>Show Notes</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tammie Lister</h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/karmatosed/\">WordPress</a> | <a href=\"https://x.com/karmatosed\">X (former Twitter)</a> | <a href=\"https://bsky.app/profile/karmatosed.art\">BlueSky</a></li>\n\n\n\n<li>Website <a href=\"https://tammielister.com/\">tammielister.com/</a></li>\n\n\n\n<li>WordCamp Europe  <a href=\"https://europe.wordcamp.org/2026/session/human-in-the-loop-means-something/\">Human in the loop means something</a></li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WordPress 7.0 </h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2026/04/22/wordpress-7-0-release-party-updated-schedule/\">WordPress 7.0 Release Party Updated Schedule</a></li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/distributed-rtc-performance-testing\">distributed-rtc-performance-testing</a> </li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2026/04/22/roster-of-design-tools-per-block-wordpress-7-0/\">Roster of design tools per block (WordPress 7.0 edition)</a></li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Community Contributions</h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https://gutenbergtimes.com/building-a-block-theme-from-scratch-workshop-resources/\">Building a block theme from scratch – Workshop resources</a></li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://pento.net/2026/04/10/claudaborative-editing-0-4-twice-the-fun/\">Claudaborative Editing 0.4: Twice the fun!</a></li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://j.cv/ai-across-the-wp-ecosystem/\">AI Across The WP Ecosystem</a></li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gutenberg Releases</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2026/04/09/whats-new-in-gutenberg-22-9-8-april/\">What’s new in Gutenberg 22.9?

In today&#8217;s episode, we will talk about WordPress 7.0, Gutenberg 22.9 and 23.0 WordCamp Europe and block themes and so much more. I&#8217;m your host, Birgit Pauli-Haack, curator at the Gutenberg Times and a full core contributor at the WordPress Open Source project sponsored by Automattic. And with me on the show is my longtime friend and regular guest Tammie Lister. And she&#8217;s a core committer, chief product officer at Convesio and was the co-lead of the first phase of Gutenberg. Tammie, it&#8217;s wonderful to have you in on the show.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> I&#8217;m so pleased to be here.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Thank you. Thank you for the time. So how are you today?</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> I&#8217;m great, thank you. How are you?</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> I&#8217;m good, I&#8217;m good. You started a new job. So what are you working on in your new position?</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> I&#8217;m incredibly lucky that I get to facilitate and collaborate on products within Convesio hosting, and we&#8217;re working on a range of different things. We work on both hosting and payments along with some other products. And I&#8217;m really excited to be able to do that and kind of grow with that team.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WordCamp Europe</h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>That&#8217;s wonderful. Wonderful. Yeah. Well, congratulations. So. And you are also a speaker at WordCamp Europe. Your title is Human in the Loop means something and we probably learn what it means.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> Yeah. So we always kind of had this idea with AI that the human in the loop, maybe it&#8217;s just like the prompting that you start with doing and you&#8217;re like at the start of the being the human in the loop. And I think as kind of we&#8217;re learning to be with AI and we&#8217;re learning to see AI as more of integrated. My talk is about how when we use the term human in a loop and I think kind of people just drop it now into product making processes and they drop it into anything that they&#8217;re doing. It should be various points in that loop, should be where humans are not just at the start and then having something kind of chucked out of them by AI just produced. That&#8217;s not the human being actually in the loop. That&#8217;s the human being at the beginning and the end of the loop. Rather than being integrated. That&#8217;s kind of the one angle of it and the other is that AI really needs to kind of be integrated in our lives. It already is, but it actually needs to be integrated, not just forced and therefore it needs to learn to kind of integrate with us and it needs to learn to be with us. There are various technologies that are doing that and in that talk I&#8217;m going to kind of explore how that happens and how that happens from a product perspective as well.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, well, that&#8217;s going to be really interesting because I, what I, my experience is more like the, all of a sudden the humans become the bottleneck and then some programmers try to work around that and say, okay, we need to get AI, be smarter, but you…</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> still do the opposite. I think if we take the best of humans and combine it with the best of AI, we have the best future.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, I think so too. Yeah. Because humanity is all that&#8217;s left. Right. And that needs to serve that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> And if we don&#8217;t have AI with that splash of humanity, one where some of us aren&#8217;t going to use it and we, we can evangelize as much for people to use it as possible, but people are going to have a bit of reaction to it and also it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s going to be kind of that friction when we do use it and going to be like talking to kind of a calculator or a fridge all the time. It&#8217;s not going to kind of. And I&#8217;m not talking about giving it a cute name or making it kind of that or anthem performance. I can never say that word, that word. That&#8217;s not what I&#8217;m talking about, talking about and talking about just being able to have a splash of humanity with it and, and how that AI can learn from us as much as we can learn from AI. </p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And we also, it&#8217;s that augmentation as part of it. So I think we&#8217;re all learning about how AI can be used both in part of our process as well and how it can make us better at what we do. And you know, there&#8217;s this kind of 10x all these kind of things. I think that&#8217;s quite a flippant thing because that&#8217;s like, well no, we were doing the best we could do before. It just means that we now have the abilities through doing this. So yeah, I&#8217;m kind of forming it at the moment and it&#8217;s going in lots of different angles and I&#8217;ve got to kind of try and take it in one straight angle. But I know for me and many other people, AI in particular the last year it&#8217;s been very empowering both from the work that they do and in the kind of personal life. So hopefully there&#8217;ll be some take home on things you can use as much as kind of sharing the maybe a more optimistic future perspective.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>Yeah. Yeah I feel the same way. I feel totally empowered to. Yeah. To submit PRs, create more documentation and all that and. And also for writing. Yeah. With English as a second language it&#8217;s so much richer when you learn from. From AI to kind of different angles and all that. So it&#8217;s a. It&#8217;s a really interesting.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister: </em>The point you said about learn from and I think that that&#8217;s something really important that we can learn from AI and sometimes we. I cannot remember. I was actually found an article I cannot remember again but there was an article about like it being unlocking education for people. And I know there&#8217;s like different conversations about where that is and where your sources are for that, but it actually can like the things that I have learned and the things that I have been able to expand my knowledge base with because I now have access to it that I didn&#8217;t have access research PA different things. I&#8217;ve been able to. I have one of these things I use in my open claw that&#8217;s called Explain this. It&#8217;s a skill but it explains it how I understand it. As for me which is a very unique way that I understand things. But it will say it like that. Then it will relate to the job I do. Then it will lead to the areas of interest that I have and I&#8217;ve refined that skill to talk to me. Not many people nobody else can do that and I hadn&#8217;t got that before so been able to do that and give it things initially do that and then help me break things down has been really really, really important to me.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah that&#8217;s the most. The application that I use it most is actually to learn things .</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> Explain this as I would understand this.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>So I. I had on my flight to. So I was in Costa Rica and I was on a flight that didn&#8217;t have any WI fi and But I still was able to. To take my laptop and open it up and ask a question because I had Olama installed and I had one of the. One of the LLMs there and I learned about Transformers and all that and you can actually ask it to explain it to me like I&#8217;m a five year old. And then it gets further and further. There is a whole education school out there that wants the kids to go and learn for themselves and not in a. In a complete setting. I think I would thrive in that because I could they had yeah. Dive deeper into topics that I&#8217;m interested in and never Come out. Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> I think even, even for me from personal, like creating art with it, doing all these kind of different things like it has been to me. Yeah. So I&#8217;m hoping like I&#8217;m still forming my talk because I&#8217;m a bit of a last minute in that sense. It&#8217;s not that last minute, but yeah, five weeks, right? Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> You always do your own pictures, right?</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> Well, I may not. I don&#8217;t know.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> You may not.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> I&#8217;m curious about could, could I get AI to create like me? That&#8217;s something I&#8217;m exploring because it feels like it might be right if it took my pictures. If it took. I don&#8217;t know. I have not decided yet on that angle. So more to come on that I&#8217;ve been exploring how AI can take my art as a source. I already paint with AI what AI creates. I paint that. So the full circle might be that AI creates from my artwork.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>Interesting thing. Interesting. Yeah. </p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WordPress 7.0 / Announcements</h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All right, so let&#8217;s dive back to WordPress. We have a few announcements. One, the biggest one is last time we talked here on the podcast WordPress 7.0 still had was scheduled for April 9th. That obviously didn&#8217;t happen. And before we get into more details here, the good news, we have a new release date and updated information about WordPress 7.0. May 20th is the latest date. And I also put in the show notes the post that kind of announced that beta release candidate cycle resumes with the next release party that&#8217;s scheduled for May 8th at 1500 UTC. And then that kind of starts I think it&#8217;s two releases that are quasi beta and then two releases that are quasi release candidates. And also in that discussion, there&#8217;s also a discussion that the RTC performance testing script that automatically tests for possible architecture approaches for hostings is about to be released and I&#8217;ll share the link to the repository. Dorin, not everybody would need that, mostly hostings. But that was also the reason why things got a little bit delayed. So Tammie, I&#8217;m going to try to explain this, how I understood it and the reasoning behind it and you can correct me and elaborate what you feel is important. </p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So if I understood it correctly, the delay was actually requested by Matt, but in coordination with core committers and the hosting team, because WordPress 7.0&#8217;s main feature is a real time collaboration project, and collaborators worked on it for over a year and the goal was to get it into best shape in what it can be for the first release. But it had been a whole wide testing done but it was only on enterprise infrastructure. So with the inclusion into core it also needs to work in less powerful hosting environments and hosting companies didn&#8217;t have enough time or tools to actually test it. So during the release cycle there was this feedback that they needed more time and test the feature more so they can enable it for many, many clients. They couldn&#8217;t they needed to switch it off and that was not the purpose of that. It should be a wide enough application. So the team created a test suite for the hosting companies and also published a death note on how to create an external provider for this offloading of the resource heavy sync process. Because that&#8217;s all of a sudden you have not one person on the. On the screen, you have five maybe. And that increases stuff. Yeah. So that&#8217;s my understanding.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> Correct, it was also not necessarily the delay, but there were also kinds of pieces of it table and kind of all right, the pieces were kind of needed to be done or. Or were done and kind of like that. That has implications. I think the too long don&#8217;t read is real time collab is complicated. Real time collab is very complicated from an infrastructure perspective and we need to have thorough testing across every implementation. And one of the things which when you think about it, it&#8217;s for humans to do real time collaboration. But actually one of the most interesting things is not humans doing real time collaboration. </p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And actually now we have the testing suite we can actually test with not humans doing it. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m kind of fascinated to do some of this testing and that can be even more load bearing. So if you think about like someone like I think one of the cases was like if it&#8217;s on a small hosting I only have one person. Well not if that one person gets very excited about agents because that person could have suddenly lots of agents even though their own like a tiny little bit of hosting and they&#8217;re not enterprise. They could have made themselves enterprise and they couldn&#8217;t have made themselves into that situation just by being at the forward of like agentic work. So we had that balance like on in 7.0 we&#8217;re promoting be forward with AI. Agentic is like a word. You might as well like to take a sip of tea every time you hit the word agentic. I don&#8217;t think alcohol would be super tissue.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Oh, what a thinking game.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> I&#8217;d be tea drunk. I really would. But it. So people are going to want to push and test it. Right. So I think it is. I would much rather people were cautious with something that someone that works in hosting that would bring down hosting. But I think it is hard for everybody involved when we have to pause a release, when we have to say oops, we&#8217;re not doing it now. And oops is one way but hey, we&#8217;re not doing it now kind of help. It&#8217;s hard. People do not do this lightly. They do not say we&#8217;re not going to do release lightly. So, you know, yeah, there&#8217;s a lot to be kind of thought about that having been involved with one of the longest ones that was stopped before. It&#8217;s a lot for humans to have that. I love that we have a testing suite now. I love that we can have that. This feature is going to potentially in 7.1 and in the patches and in the point release afterwards. And I don&#8217;t want to be a doomsayer, but we&#8217;re going to have to adjust it, we&#8217;re going to have to perform it, we&#8217;re going to have to get that feedback. So it needs to be the best bet to go live with and then we need to take it from there. So. But this is now it&#8217;s in the best shape it could be, so it can kind of go from there.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: So. Yeah, yeah. And you just mentioned that there&#8217;s also for the updates and coordination, there&#8217;s an. There will be an extra table added to WordPress as well to manage that polling and the intermediate storage of things.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> That&#8217;s not a light thing to do that. That is like, like I, I said it very flippantly, but it&#8217;s not a flippant thing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: No, no. And there needs to be really thought process in there because it&#8217;s gonna be in WordPress for the next 20 years.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> That&#8217;s like building something to the house, right?</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. So you cannot just tear it down because you don&#8217;t like it anymore.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister: </em>No, that&#8217;s. That&#8217;s definitely.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> People build on it. Yeah. Yes. So May 20th is the next release date and whoever hasn&#8217;t tested their plugins and themes with a you get another. Almost a month of grace. Time to do it now. Yeah, don&#8217;t wait. Do it now. Sometimes I say don&#8217;t wait. Procrastinate now. But this is not the case here. No.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> And I think you really, if you don&#8217;t ever test your plugins on ever releases, test them on this one. Not just because of editing, but also because of the admin interface changes as well. Not changes in a big way, just in a. Just enough that maybe do some testing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. And there&#8217;s Also the minimum PHP version is changed to 7.4. Have a bit of a look. Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> Just spend half an hour.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. See if it blows up or not. Yeah. And there&#8217;s only a late addition to the developer notes. The roster of design tools per block that have been since 6.7 I think it&#8217;s now updated to version WebPR 7.0. And one of my next projects is that I create. Create a plugin that actually has a few more table block features. So it doesn&#8217;t. Is so yeah rudimentary anymore but especially the sticky header when you have 90 rows in a table. Yeah, that would be really helpful.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> Yeah I love that because the table block to me is one that I always end up having to do custom work on or I have to do it. If anything in my work is going to take whenever I&#8217;m doing don&#8217;t always do sites but whenever I do do sites if there&#8217;s anything comparison tables such a common thing we end up doing. Right. Like or even if you&#8217;re going to do like pricing or comparison whatever you&#8217;re going to do at most sites at some point if they&#8217;re a SaaS or if they&#8217;re a product based they&#8217;re going to have something like that on. You always have to do something with CSS on there or even down to like how you put image. Putting images inside there and it&#8217;s a bit nickety and all those kind of ways.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> It&#8217;s all. Yeah there are some projects out there that I probably won&#8217;t tackle but it&#8217;s the sticky header and then that you can. The first column can be styled differently than the rest of it and then also have a sticky first column so when you horizontally scroll that you still have the lines in there and merge and unmerge for cells because that really helps. So. But I will see how far it gets. I submitted it to the first version slightly version tiny version to the blog repository and there are 763 ahead of me. So it probably takes two to three weeks. That&#8217;s fine with me. Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister: </em>But I mean that&#8217;s a pretty good.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Compared to three months before, you know. Five months or six months. Yeah. So I&#8217;m. I&#8217;m not worried about that. And it&#8217;s gonna be on GitHub anyway. </p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Community Contributions</h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So. Yeah, there are other contributions, community contributions. One. I just wanted to let you know that if you have subscribed to the Gutenberg Times weekly edition, you know about that. But it&#8217;s the. I have published my workshop resources from the Building a block theme from scratch from WordCamp Asia. And it has all the resources that you need. You have the kind of a little slide deck, but it also has a reference theme and then content that you can put into your studio. Has instructions how to set up WordPress Studio or use Playground and then step by step instructions how to rebuild the theme with the site editor and not touch code. So see how far you get if you want to learn that. But you should be able to do this within an hour or two or three. But you need some familiarity with the site editor, definitely. And the Create block theme plugin. And so that&#8217;s for you in the show notes. The next one is maybe you can talk about it. Claudia Borative Collaborative editing with Claude by Gary Pendergast here has a new plugin. Yeah, yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> So apparently it&#8217;s twice the fun. So it&#8217;s kind of what I was saying about like clap of editing is great, but one of the things I think a lot of people have been thinking of is like, oh, yes, so that&#8217;s humans. No, no, no.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> What if it could be agents? And this is really worth checking out to have a look at that. Gary is a long time. Is a core committer. Long time worked on. Gutenberg works on in Automattic. So he&#8217;s. He&#8217;s definitely got the experience to work on it and he&#8217;s definitely kind of brewed this up. Super excited about it. It is Claude only at the moment. I think there&#8217;s plans to kind of make it a little bit kind of expansive there. Maybe that dropped last night. It&#8217;s work in progress and it&#8217;s been worked on, so I love that. But to me, this is where I get a bit more excited as someone that&#8217;s already trained my. It&#8217;s a me problem, but I&#8217;ve already trained my open Claude to write like me. Not that it&#8217;s going to just write without me being a human in the loop, but because of that, me being able to collaborate with. I call it Exo. With Exo, it means that I can have that conversation, that I can do it within WordPress, which is really powerful for me. I. I do it in Obsidian at the moment. I have been able to take that in and do it in that environment. I was doing something before this plugin. </p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was kind of doing like a. A faked version. I had. There was a UK children show called City show and bear with me on this. And I ended up with the characters like doing agent work together just to test collaborative editing for myself because I wanted to see if it could be done and it&#8217;s pretty effective to be able to have agents talking to each other and testing. So it is a really good experience. Maybe you&#8217;ve got one. Again, it doesn&#8217;t have to be that you are as a human doing it. Maybe you have an agent that is looking at your grammar. Maybe you have an agent that is specializing in images. Maybe have a. So you can have agents that are specializing in different things or you can even have someone else&#8217;s agent come and do different things for SEO or different. Different stuff. So I think that&#8217;s the thing. Like if you are enterprise, you probably have agents that work across the company that do very specialist skills and then you could have them come into the editor. So projects like this are really interesting for that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, yeah. No, it&#8217;s absolutely fascinating, the whole thing. Yeah. And if you really want to go really, really deep in AI across the.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> You need snacks for this post.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>Yeah, yeah, definitely. So there is a James LePage who is the head of AI at Automattic, but also the team rep or team lead for the core AI team. He has put together a blog post with. I haven&#8217;t counted it, but I&#8217;m thinking more than 70 or 80 links about anything and everything that&#8217;s done with AI in the WordPress ecosystem from the community AI providers. So WordPress 7 has this connector page where there are three AI providers by default that you can install. But the community also came very fast up with the providers for other LLMs like Mistral for Europe or Open Router provider or Olama provider or Alibaba. So you get a link for all those. Those will not be displayed in default, but once you install the plugin you can connect them to the things and then a lot of plugins that have already implemented the Abilities API. Yeah. From ACF to Jetpack to Fluid Design System for Elementor, Divi, WP and main WP maintenance kind of dashboard. They all come up with mcps. So you can connect your agents with them if you want to. You totally can ignore that segment on the podcast if you&#8217;re not interested. Agent skills. They&#8217;re not only the WordPress agent skills, but others have also automatic, for instance, published agent skills.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> Or those skills are invaluable. I&#8217;m just gonna say. Yeah, those skills are absolutely. They should be required in any work.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> that you&#8217;re doing, right? Yeah, I don&#8217;t do any. Anything WordPress development without those agents. Yeah, they&#8217;re definitely required reading for your LLMs, your coding agents. Yeah. And then infrastructure agency, Enterprise Adoption Community. So It&#8217;s a really long. And I&#8217;m going back to that post multiple times in the last two weeks since. Since it was published. So I wanted everybody to know about that too. Yeah, that&#8217;s it. Any thoughts for now or would I forgot.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> Love going there and seeing all the amazing stuff people are building as well, which I think is really important. And to think this is the list today and that list is only going to get bigger.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, I think after the last two weeks, the. Since it was published, a lot of things already happened. So I&#8217;m kind of thinking it&#8217;s the same for me. It&#8217;s the same situation like it was when Gutenberg was introduced and I was kind of putting the Gutenberg times together. I&#8217;m kind of. Oh, I need to kind of.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> Yeah. Which is I. I love that problem.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Oh yeah, totally.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> We are being creative and we are creating cool stuff.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Birgit Pauli-Haack: Yeah, absolutely. And I&#8217;m really amazed by how, how people come up with things and how you work with it, how my co workers work with it, how I explore.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> Enabling people to have ideas that they, the ideas have sat in their brains or they haven&#8217;t been capable of doing this. It&#8217;s not so they, they haven&#8217;t had the either the language to like the skill language to do. It&#8217;s not that they&#8217;re not capable, is it that they haven&#8217;t had the knowledge to do it right. Everybody is super capable. It&#8217;s just empowered them to be able to do it for themselves. Maybe they were a designer, now they can do development, but the developer, now they can do some more designer stuff and then also pairing up with people. I&#8217;ve seen a lot of that where people be going like, okay, well this has enabled us to collaborate easier and faster as well. So you don&#8217;t just have to be isolated on your own, just talking to a group of agents, which is kind of sad if you only do that. But that&#8217;s okay. That&#8217;s my life. But you know, actually collaborating with people who are also doing this stuff, like the buzz like that you can get from that is really like I went to Cloud Fest a month ago now and just talking with people about this stuff again, getting that kind of vibe about, oh well, here&#8217;s the stuff that I use or here&#8217;s the stuff that I use where like an instantly you level up your stack, and you level up what you&#8217;re doing and come away with some cool ideas. So every week I talk to someone about this, I come up with a ridiculously long list of tools of cool stuff to try out or I see posts like this, I&#8217;m like, okay, well now. And one thing I do, I share the bookmarks. So I&#8217;m kind of like getting those bookmarks reminded me so I can be like, okay, well now I kind of pull these out and then I explore those bookmarks. You can even give it to your agent and have a look at your bookmarks with your agent. You really want to do that? Just saying.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Well, I talk with my husband about it every day. He. He kind of discovered the. Because his company is kind of using Codex and I&#8217;m using more clothes so we kind of can combine it. And now I have found a plugin for Claude for Codex. So I&#8217;m kind of your interception is there? Yeah, like the. The movie is kind of where your brain kind of clicks a little bit and then you kind of. Okay, moving on. But yeah, his work is totally different than what I do. But we are using the tools that are there and it&#8217;s quite an interesting conversation every time.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> Yeah, great space to be working in.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What’s Released &#8211; Gutenberg 22.9</h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, absolutely. So now we come to the section of what&#8217;s released and we have two Gutenberg plugin releases to talk about. One was 22.9 that was released on April 8th and it has a few things. Many of them were actually for the real time collaboration and some of the bug fixes are still there. But yeah, there&#8217;s also a lot of work being done in the component space.</h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enhancements</h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the WordPress UI package is actually has some empty states for the components and displaying some placeholders content when sections have no data and all that. So that is actually throughout the whole WordPress UI package and interesting for developers who use it. The same with the alert dialogue primitive that you can tab into. And there are a lot of other good things in there. Check out the Storybook for the UI packages. Are you working with those packages?</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> Yeah, to me it&#8217;s a general nudge. I think a lot of. So one of the experiences I&#8217;ve seen with plugin developers at the moment, not just in the work I do, but in general talking at cloudfest or otherwise, is those that maybe hadn&#8217;t used it before now actually we&#8217;re talking about like with agentic coding because of the skills and because of the ease that they can point to the skills and there actually is one, they&#8217;re starting to be able to use them way more. It&#8217;s not no longer a case of go to Storybook, click on a component, be able to pull and then work out from the pace between Figma and that was actually like it seemed easy, but it was quite a gap for people to function in. </p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And because you can actually use the skill and then you can be like. So one of the plugins I love is Superpowers. It&#8217;s a plugin that allows you to do brainstorming. I love brainstorming with the bots. And so I can just be like, okay, this is what I want to do. And now tell me before you do it. I&#8217;m a bit of a control freak that way. And then it can kind of come back, but it will. These are the skills I want you to use. Tell me what components you&#8217;re going to use. Look at this repo. And you can literally be like, so for me, here&#8217;s my. Here&#8217;s my dusty plugin. Can you look at my desk? I&#8217;m calling my plugin dusty. Can you look at my dusty plugin? Can you come up with my plan of how I would fit these into the dusty plugin that I&#8217;ve made? And I&#8217;ve done this, some of my older stuff and it&#8217;s been like, okay, yes, here&#8217;s the newer components that you could do. And I&#8217;m like, well, thanks. And it will be able to parse it, come out of a plan. Then you work with it. And that&#8217;s. It&#8217;s pretty. Very impressive that it can do that and it can pick it. So I think leaning into that being your guide and if you say stay true to. So say like, what is the native use of tabs? What is the native use of these components? It gets it really well. So.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that&#8217;s how I approach it too, you know, to kind of point it to the repos and see if you, you don&#8217;t have to come up with things. Yeah, it&#8217;s kind of.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> Yeah, yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>And that&#8217;s also for. For plugin developers who have their own interfaces. Yeah. That they have to maintain.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> Yeah. You can get rid of like 80% of your interface that you don&#8217;t have to maintain. And to a good point, to that often people think, okay, well, it means that I therefore don&#8217;t have any personality or I don&#8217;t have any style or I don&#8217;t have anything. No, no, no. What you can do is you can bring the buttons in. I&#8217;m a little bit of a purist about I still want the primary button to be the primary button and I don&#8217;t want to like a secondary and all those kinds of things. But you can bring styling into it. You can bring graphics, you can bring headers, you can bring different tonal stuff into it. But just if everybody knows what a primary button is in WordPress, no matter what plugin they&#8217;re using, that is fantastic because it&#8217;s also already tested by Accessibility Team. If it&#8217;s updated, it&#8217;s updated for everybody, which is amazing. And yeah, it&#8217;s so much easier going forward. And it&#8217;s responsive out of the box.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>Yeah, it&#8217;s definitely easier for the user. They don&#8217;t have to learn a new interface for every plugin. And if they have.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> Now it&#8217;s. Now it&#8217;s to this, to the right side, now it&#8217;s to the bottom, now it&#8217;s to the. No, it&#8217;s always. Tabs are here and I think just stabilizing the interface to that. Once we stabilize every experience, we can do some wacky stuff, we can bring some awesome graphics, we can bring some personality back to it, but we have the experience being the same and I think we have to separate maybe the experience from the visual art. And if we do that, we have a thing that works really well, but also is really shockingly beautiful as well.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, yeah. So in the block library we have some additional features. One is that the black ground gradient support can now be combined with the background images. So that&#8217;s really cool because then you have an overlay and you can have this really shiny designs there. I love that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> Now that seems like that&#8217;s a kind of small thing just there. But honestly, that&#8217;s a major thing for theme design, being able to have that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>Yeah. And there is an experimental forms block and if you haven&#8217;t tried it yet,<em> </em>you need to open and open up the Gutenberg Plugin Experiments page and check it. But it now also supports hidden fields and that makes it much more feasible to be used in form if you want to put your forms together. And I don&#8217;t know if you can. I need to play around with it some more. I haven&#8217;t yet. But what happens with the action and where does it go is definitely something that I need to figure out there. Because that&#8217;s the biggest part on form plugins that you can. Where does the data go? Yeah. So what else do we have?</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> Commands. I think we go down to the command block, don&#8217;t we? Oh, command palette. I see blocks everywhere. Apparently. So on the command palette we have that we add sections to Command palette and introduce recently used functionality. This is such a quality of life.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Oh, absolutely, absolutely. Yeah. Especially when you can get more commands in, you never find it. So the search is really important.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> This is interesting because I never used to use this. Sorry, confession time. I never used to use this, but I use it all the time now. It&#8217;s weird. I think I use it all the time because I use it all the time now on Mac. It is strange and I think it&#8217;s just like I now expect everything to have it. It&#8217;s. It&#8217;s a weird thing. So. Yeah, it makes a lot of functionality to me. Like when it first happened, I was like, nice feature.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> I don&#8217;t use it. Yeah. But I think I wasn&#8217;t going to use it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> It was more like. I used to feel that way about voice chat. I&#8217;m. I take sometimes some features. I weirdly being that&#8217;s my thing, I take a little bit of time to warm up to. But this one I did, I definitely could see the use, but now I. It&#8217;s part of my workflow and I can definitely see, like, I find that I know how to hit it and I will hit it and I will use it, so. And I want it in everything now. So.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Nice. Yeah. Just a way of caution. You need to enable that in the experiments page as well. There&#8217;s a workflow palette experiment, one of those. It&#8217;s getting longer and longer. I still need to write that post that explains all those experiments because there&#8217;s no documentation. So. Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> Somehow they&#8217;re kind of hidden down the back.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, they&#8217;re hidden because they&#8217;re waiting for feedback. But you can&#8217;t give any feedback when you don&#8217;t know how it works. So it&#8217;s all a little bit circular.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister</em>: Excursion is features.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> So. And even the description is like. What does that even mean? Yeah. So. And. And then we go down to the experiments in the changelog and the Post Editor is an experiment for. To look like the Page Editor in the Site Editor. And now it also has some field. Yeah. For excerpts and sticky and. And all that revision.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> Full fleshed addition to it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. And I have found that certain things don&#8217;t work in the Post Editor, but they only work in the Site Editor. So bringing in the Post Editor to the Site Editor would help with some of those features. So there&#8217;s another experiment that we talked a little bit about, the previous release, because it came into 22.8. That&#8217;s the experimental guidelines. They were called content guidelines. Now they&#8217;re only guidelines because it&#8217;s clear it&#8217;s content and they have been refactored and improved with Typescript. I just wanted to point that out. That&#8217;s something that you. When you have agents coming to your website, you can guide them through your guidelines on how. What to do with it and what not to do and all that. So it&#8217;s a really good interface to look at. Well, there are a lot of PRs in here, but I think the next one that I want to point out is Gutenberg 23.0.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gutenberg 23.0</h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> Two versions of one.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> One done. And that was only released this week. We are recording this on February of February we&#8217;re recording this.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> I&#8217;m not doing March again.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> No March. We are jumping right into April and it&#8217;s April 24th. We are recording this. And Gutenberg 23.0 was released on April 22nd. Again. A lot of components updates for WordPress, the UI, they&#8217;re really hopping on that. It&#8217;s phenomenal.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister</em>: And honestly, I&#8217;m just gonna say that is needed. If you&#8217;re building stuff, you&#8217;re building applications or we&#8217;ve been talking about like themes. The theme of this is have fun, build stuff, do things. This is what we need. We need this interface to be our LEGO kit to be able to do that. That&#8217;s something like I have way too long a list of things I want to play with and me and Exo are going to have some fun time with all these components. So that&#8217;s exactly what people are doing. And the more these components we have, the more fun people can have building. And that&#8217;s. That&#8217;s the cool thing about this.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, No, I definitely let my AI soon because I&#8217;m building a plugin. Right. </p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enhancements</h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But anyway, so in the block library, there&#8217;s one thing to point out that I selected was that the search block has a fix now and the color settings actually apply also to the input fields when the button is disabled. Because sometimes you don&#8217;t need a button, but you need the color settings to persist. The tabs block got a few changes. It was actually refactored from the previous version. That&#8217;s why it didn&#8217;t make it to WordPress 7.0. So contributors are really working on it to get it ready for 7.1. Yeah, we definitely have some more when it gets to. Out of experiment.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> Very wanted block.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, it&#8217;s a wanted block for everybody. Yeah, or change them. And Here is the. In 23.0 was the name change from the Guidelines Experiments component to. From content guidelines to Guidelines. And it&#8217;s out of experimentation.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister: </em>Shortcuts for moving blocks via tool tips. Maybe you can explain this one. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve kind of seen this one in Block Editor.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>Yeah, the space shortcuts for moving Blocks via tool tips. Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> Oh, okay. That&#8217;s kind of cool. So it&#8217;s actually just kind of visualizing the shortcuts, which is really good. So you actually get the shortcuts rather than having to bring up the shortcut panel. Oh, okay. That&#8217;s super good. So I kind of didn&#8217;t see that one. I love that. I love finding sneak surprises of cool stuff. I&#8217;m just saying, like that is also the cool thing about all these releases. Sometimes you find one that&#8217;s pretty cool.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. And they&#8217;re buried through all the technology one. Yeah. Yeah. So I was at, in. At the meetup in Salzburg and this week and it&#8217;s only an hour and a half from here with. With a train. I love going by train. So I did some work. One of the features that people are really talk to or kind of that talk to them is actually the columns block in a paragraph. What&#8217;s in 7.0 where you can just highlight the paragraph block and then say give me columns and then you can put it in two columns. And that&#8217;s just so, so easy because you don&#8217;t have to fiddle around with columns. With the columns block, you don&#8217;t have to measure which one is faster because it does it automatically. So that&#8217;s a really nice feature.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister: </em>And quality of life things is things we always would do. And it just. When the editor does expectations of what you would do, that&#8217;s when it&#8217;s next level. And it&#8217;s also refinement. It shows maturity of the editor, maturity of using it and also listening to user feedback.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Right. And the other. So we didn&#8217;t talk about it, but I don&#8217;t want to prolong this, but do you have a favorite feature from Webpoint 7.0 apart from the real time collaboration and the AI connectors?</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> Apart from real time collaboration and the AI, you&#8217;re just picking all like my favorite children and then take. Can I actually go a little bit wide and include.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> Any tiny little quality of life bug fix? Because I think any track ticket we manage to close or quality of life bug fix that comes in that and we don&#8217;t necessarily highlight them. And I know we&#8217;re talking about features and we&#8217;re talking about stuff like that. That. But I would also say apart from that, anything in Storybook or that say or a component or anything like that, that that is going to be my favorite because it just means that we can build more cool stuff. But honestly, like yeah, it&#8217;s. It&#8217;s not a feature but it&#8217;s like any tickets we closed Anything we improved that isn&#8217;t visible or seen, that&#8217;s amazing for me.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. So what really got the people excited about 7.0 is the new revisions panel with 23.0 in Gutenberg. It also comes to templates, template parts and to patterns, which is really kind of going through the whole editor and edit screen where you can have the revision screen screen.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> I am very happy to see that gone because that slider needs to be buried. Bless it. It is old. We did it a while ago and</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, yeah, it definitely needed to go. But I think the implementation interface.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> Not an interface of today. We can debate what the interface today is, but it is not that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Well, I like that it&#8217;s it. It knows about blocks and it has these night color changes and you can. You actually can do it in the block editor. You don&#8217;t have to go out of that and come in again.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> You have to go do it. I&#8217;m all for being in different frames of mind thinking when you can move to different spaces, but no, no, not in this one.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. So yeah, I pointed that out. It&#8217;s coming, people, even if you missed it in 7.0.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> So your favorite feature coming. Because you asked me mine. So is that your favorite apart from AI and apart from collaborative energy? Because you&#8217;re not allowed to pick those either.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>If I click that. Yeah. Well, I like that. You can have now video backgrounds in external video URLs for cover. For the cover block is really cool. And I like the revisions. It&#8217;s definitely the. Yeah, because I did the Source of Truth and there&#8217;s all the things in there. But I looked at the revisions and it was 64 and I said, oh, it can handle that. That&#8217;s awesome. IT can handle 64 revisions in the block editor in the first thing. Yeah. So I also like the Source of Truth. Where is it? Here it is. I need the list in front of me so you kind of remember what&#8217;s coming. WordPress 7.0 and my Internet just gave out. No, Tammy is still here. Can&#8217;t be the Internet. Oh, I definitely like the breadcrumbs block. Yeah, that&#8217;s really cool.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> Yeah. And that actually really. Because many times you&#8217;ve had to hack around it using like the navigation block or doing something really funky.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. And. And you need a plugin for that. Yeah. And it&#8217;s such a.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> Literally I&#8217;ve seen people use the navigation and then just do like a port of it into a plugin or something like that. That&#8217;s what they&#8217;ve kind of taken or hard They&#8217;ve just done some weird stuff. I&#8217;ve seen some weird combinations break. So having a native one is really good.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Really good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then the other one was the gallery lightbox that it actually has navigation now. Yeah. You can go through back and forth. Yes. So it was kind of missing from the last implementation, but yeah. So that&#8217;s pretty much it. It&#8217;s kind of. I. I like all of it. But yeah, those are the. The favorite ones.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> So it&#8217;s honestly like. I think that&#8217;s the thing. Not picking the two. That is going to be good. But for me it&#8217;s captive editing. Again, not with humans. </p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I. I only excluded it because we talked about it before already.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> I know. Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> And. And it kind of. Yeah, yeah. So what&#8217;s that?</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> That&#8217;s going to be interesting to. To see in demos. Right. Rather than having to have two people on stage doing it, we&#8217;re going to be able to see in demos like having non humans.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. You know. No, I definitely want to try Gary Bendergast plugin to kind of figure out how I can use that to my. Because I&#8217;m in WordPress all the time with the good work times and I need some help there. Yeah. So. And I had a few workflows kind of with how do I find stuff and all that already and like a research. So. Right.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister: </em>I have a first draft in for you could get the change logs, pull them in first of all.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, yeah, we can. So but what&#8217;s also. </p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What’s in Active Development or Discussed</h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And now we come to the what&#8217;s in active development and discussed and one of them is the media editor experiment that a group of contributors are working on. That&#8217;s a new component. It started with the image cropper. Yeah. Kind of have a better image cropper that kind of. Because the one that we have where it just kind of enlarge it and then kind of figure it out where to go. Yeah. I need a drag and drop kind of thing to crop things.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tammie Lister:</em> And also that the native cropper doesn&#8217;t always work.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><e
