It&#8217;s been a hell of a journey, and we&#8217;ve worked hard to pay things forward along the way.</p>\n<h2>Giving Thanks</h2>\n<p>2015 was a big year for us.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/2-million-downloads-the-events-calendar/\">We surpassed 2 million downloads</a> of The Events Calendar and continue to serve over 300,000 active users.  Our incredible support team has helped answer over 8,000 questions through our premium support forums, plus assisted with resolving another 2,000+ tickets in the WordPress.org forums.</p>\n<p>We&#8217;re incredibly thankful to <a href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/the-team/\">our team members</a>. They are Tribe. Their multitude of talents and dedication to quality is the backbone of our reputation.</p>\n<p>We&#8217;re also thankful for our community. You guys support us, challenge us, and push us to continuously innovate and improve. Without you, we wouldn&#8217;t be where we are today, and for that, we are deeply appreciative.</p>\n<h2>Giving Back</h2>\n<p>For us, a big part of participating in the WordPress community is giving back. Not just during special holidays, but continuously throughout the year.</p>\n<p>Helping out organizations that help others has been one of our focuses this year. We&#8217;re proud to share that to date, we&#8217;ve donated over $200,000 in plugin licenses through our <a href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/apply-for-nppp/\">Non-Profit Partnership Program</a>.</p>\n<p>Like most top WordPress agencies, we encourage and support our team&#8217;s efforts to contribute to the community on a personal level. Throughout 2015, they have spent countless hours volunteering, contributing to core, releasing free plugins, speaking at WordCamps or meetups, and getting involved in other ways.</p>\n<p>Recognition is important to us, so we want to take a moment to call out some of their individual contributions to the community:</p>\n<p>-Zach &amp; Matt released <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/headlineenvy/\" target=\"_blank\">HeadlineEnvy</a>, an A/B headline testing plugin that integrates with Optimizely.</p>\n<p>-Nico volunteered for <a href=\"https://buenosaires.wordcamp.org/2015/\" target=\"_blank\">WordCamp Buenos Aires</a>, the first official WordPress event to be held in that location in the past 5 years.</p>\n<p>-Gustavo helped organize <a href=\"https://riodejaneiro.wordcamp.org/\" target=\"_blank\">WordCamp Rio de Janeiro</a> and <a href=\"https://riodejaneiro.wordcamp.org/2015/speaker/gustavo-bordoni/\" target=\"_blank\">spoke there</a>. He was also a speaker at <a href=\"https://belohorizonte.wordcamp.org/2015/tabela-de-programacao/\" target=\"_blank\">WordCamp Belo Horizonte</a>. His core contributions to WordPress this year include tickets <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/28529\" target=\"_blank\">28529</a>, <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/34594\" target=\"_blank\">34594</a>, &amp; <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/34607\" target=\"_blank\">34607</a>, as well as meta contribution <a href=\"https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1386\" target=\"_blank\">ticket 1386</a>.</p>\n<p>-Jonathan gave a few WordCamp talks this year, including &#8220;<a href=\"http://wordpress.tv/2015/06/19/jonathan-brinley-build-your-dev-environment-with-docker/\" target=\"_blank\">Build Your Dev Environment With Docker</a>&#8221; at WordCamp Miami, &#8220;<a href=\"http://flightless.us/slides/tampa-2015/\" target=\"_blank\">Smaller, Faster PHP: An Introduction to Backend Performance Optimization</a>&#8221; at WordCamp Tampa, and &#8220;<a href=\"http://flightless.us/slides/orlando-2015/\" target=\"_blank\">Defense Against the Dark Arts: Writing Secure WordPress Plugins and Themes</a>&#8221; at WordCamp Orlando.</p>\n<p>-Peter &amp; Rob both spoke at the inaugural WordCamp Sacramento. Peter&#8217;s talk centered on <a href=\"http://www.slideshare.net/peterchester/coding-together-a-dev-workflow\" target=\"_blank\">Coding With A Team</a>, while Rob&#8217;s presentation later in the day covered <a href=\"http://www.slideshare.net/robattribe/the-art-of-replying-to-reviews-on-wordpressorg-wordcamp-sacramento-2015\" target=\"_blank\">The Art of Replying to Reviews on WordPress.org</a>.</p>\n<p>-Reid gave his take on <a href=\"http://wordpress.tv/2015/10/26/reid-peifer-reimagining-content-creation/\" target=\"_blank\">Reimaging Content Creation</a> at WordCamp Vancouver.</p>\n<p>There were many other contributions made by our team members to WordPress that we haven&#8217;t listed, but are no less important or deserving of recognition (they just didn&#8217;t necessarily want to be called out in a blog post, which we totally respect).</p>\n<p>Like we said at the beginning, we have a lot to be thankful for.

With The Events Calendar, we include all the basics you need, without dragging down your site with options you don&#8217;t. Of course, if you need additional views, recurring events, advanced widgets, we also have <a href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-events-calendar-pro/\">our PRO version</a> available.</p>\n<p>For many site owners, they&#8217;re golden just running The Events Calendar or Events Calendar PRO.</p>\n<p>But your site is different. You have events listed on your calendar that are designed to generate revenue, so you want to be able to sell tickets online without going through a 3rd party ticketing agent.</p>\n<p>We can help you with that.</p>\n<h3>Layer #1: WooCommerce Tickets</h3>\n<p>Enter your first layer: <a href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/tickets/\">WooCommerce Tickets</a>.</p>\n<p>Boom.</p>\n<p>Now you can sell tickets online directly from your event page without having to send visitors off to a 3rd party site.</p>\n<p>But hold up &#8211; that’s not the only thing you want your calendar to do.</p>\n<p>In addition to your own events, you also want other people to be able to add their events to your site’s calendar. Maybe you’re a school and you want each department to manage their own events. Or a real estate office with many agents that need to be able to list all of their upcoming open houses. Or you run an interest group and want people to contribute to your community calendar. Basically, any scenario where you want user-generated events to be added to your calendar without them needing access to your admin.</p>\n<p>Time to add another layer.</p>\n<h3>Layer #2: Community Events</h3>\n<p><a href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-community-events/\">Community Events</a> gives you the ability to accept front end submissions from users without giving them access to your dashboard. They input all the info for each event, then submit the event for addition to your calendar. (<a href=\"http://wpshindig.com/events/\" target=\"_blank\">You can see this in action on our demo site.</a>)</p>\n<p>But wait. Some of the events people are adding have a ticket fee associated with them. Wouldn’t it be cool if we could allow those people to sell tickets to THEIR event on OUR website?</p>\n<p>That’s where our final layer comes into play.</p>\n<h3>Layer #3: Community Tickets</h3>\n<p><a href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/product/community-tickets/\">Community Tickets</a> harnesses the power of Community Events and WooCommerce Tickets, plus adds functionality to create an interactive calendar that enables event organizers to post their own events, create tickets for those events, and receive payments for ticket sales. Organizers even have access to basic ticket sales reporting &#8211; all without touching your WordPress admin dashboard.</p>\n<p>Best of all, as the site owner, you can decide if you want to charge a fee or split the ticket sale revenue with the event organizers. Community Tickets doesn&#8217;t just allow you to sell tickets online through your community calendar &#8211; it also opens up a whole new revenue model for your WordPress site.</p>\n<h3>Community Tickets: A Trifecta of WordPress Ticketing Functionality</h3>\n<p>Check out our demo video and let us know what you think. We can’t wait to hear how you’re using <a href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/product/community-tickets/\">Community Tickets</a> to increase ticket sales and increase revenue on your WordPress site.</p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/video/144653641\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" title=\"Community Tickets: An Overview\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe></p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/community-tickets-sell-tickets-online-through-your-community-calendar/\">Community Tickets: Sell Tickets Online Through Your Community Calendar</a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com\">The Events Calendar</a>.</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:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";a:1:{s:10:\"commentRss\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:105:\"https://theeventscalendar.com/community-tickets-sell-tickets-online-through-your-community-calendar/feed/\";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:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";a:1:{s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1:\"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:2;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:51:\"\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\";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:5:{s:0:\"\";a:7:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:19:\"Lost in Translation\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:50:\"https://theeventscalendar.com/lost-in-translation/\";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:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:59:\"https://theeventscalendar.com/lost-in-translation/#comments\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 20 Nov 2015 14:30:06 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"category\";a:4:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4:\"News\";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:19:\"The Events Calendar\";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:12:\"translations\";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:13:\"wordpress.org\";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:39:\"http://theeventscalendar.com/?p=1012849\";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:619:\"<p>In July, we announced that we were moving all our translations to GlotPress&#8211; a big step towards improving our localization and empowering our international users.

Last month, we followed the WordPress community&#8217;s lead and moved the translations for our free plugin, The Events Calendar, to <a href=\"https://translate.wordpress.org/\">translate.wordpress.org</a>.</p>\n<p>We realize that two moves in the span of a few months could be frustrating or confusing for our users. So we wanted to take some time to explain what went into this decision and what it means for the future.</p>\n<h3>2015: The Year of the Translation</h3>\n<p>Since we planned our roadmap last year, we knew we wanted to prioritize localization features during our 2015 development work. More and more of our users are outside of North America, and we wanted to respond to that change in demographic. With that in mind, we added time zone support and <a href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/what-weve-learned-from-integrating-with-wpml/\">improved compatibility with WPML</a>.</p>\n<p>The biggest change for the team was our move to GlotPress for managing plugin translations. Previously, we&#8217;d accepted translations from volunteers via our forum, and then (after testing the submissions) manually added the new files to each plugin&#8217;s /lang folder, to be available in the next release.</p>\n<p>As the number of people using translations grew, it became clear that we needed a system that was easier for both our team and our users. GlotPress is the perfect solution- it gave us a centralized place for all our translations and made it easier for volunteers to contribute, whether a single string update or a new full translation. We deputized several of our long-time translators as validators, which meant that we had native speakers approving new translations. Additionally, it became easier for folks to download the very latest translations, without having to wait for the next release. Perhaps best of all, all of our translations were organized on the nifty new <a href=\"http://translations.theeventscalendar.com\">translations.theeventscalendar.com</a>.</p>\n<h3>WordPress.org announces language packs for plugins</h3>\n<p>After several months of enjoying our new GlotPress site, <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/plugins/2015/09/01/plugin-translations-on-wordpress-org/\">WordPress.org announced</a> that they were extending their language pack service to WP plugins. This service is also run using GlotPress, but with translations for all plugins gathered at <a href=\"https://translate.wordpress.org/\">translate.wordpress.org</a>.</p>\n<p>Managing the translations for The Events Calendar via translate.wordpress.org means enjoying many of the same handy features from our original GlotPress site. Users can make and update translations via their browser, and translations are easily downloadable.</p>\n<p>However, some aspects of this system are not so advantageous for our users. For one, using this new system separates the translations for our core plugin (The Events Calendar) from our premium plugins (Events Calendar PRO, Community Events, etc.). While WordPress.org&#8217;s system is meant to be used by all <em>free</em> WP plugins, it&#8217;s extremely unlikely to ever include premium plugins. Thus, premium users will need to download translations from two different places in order to get a fully translated site.</p>\n<p>The other disadvantage to moving the TEC translations is that our team is no longer able to approve submitted strings. With our original GlotPress set-up, members of our support team or one of our approved validators could approve a new or updated string within the plugin. We reviewed submitted changes regularly so translators didn&#8217;t have to wait long to see their work added to the official translation.</p>\n<p>With the WordPress.org-based system, only official Translation Editors can approve strings. This means that when one of our users submits a change, we are not able to review or approve it. The user must wait until a Translation Editor from their language&#8217;s <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/about/teams/\">WordPress.org translation team</a> can approve the change.</p>\n<h3>Tough Choices</h3>\n<p>We strive to make our plugin straightforward to use, while still being full of great features. We liked having a simple, centralized translation site and being able to quickly approve submitted translation changes. However, we also want to be an upstanding member of the WordPress community. This is the way that WP translations are moving, and we want to adapt alongside.</p>\n<p>Ultimately we decided to move the translations for The Events Calendar to the new set up at <a href=\"https://translate.wordpress.org/\">translate.wordpress.org</a>. We rolled out a new <a href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/translating-the-events-calendar/\">knowledgebase article</a> to help guide users to the new location for TEC translations and (hopefully) prevent confusion over the two translation systems. This blog post will hopefully provide transparency and explanation for all the recent changes.</p>\n<p>We&#8217;d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our translators who have helped us make our Events plugins available to a wider world of users. And thank you to the hard working folks at WordPress.org for their work to improve and expand our favorite open-source platform. We will continue our efforts to add value and compatibility to our plugins- and keep our users informed of our decisions along the way.</p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/lost-in-translation/\">Lost in Translation</a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com\">The Events Calendar</a>.</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:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";a:1:{s:10:\"commentRss\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:55:\"https://theeventscalendar.com/lost-in-translation/feed/\";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:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";a:1:{s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1:\"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:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:42:\"\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\";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:5:{s:0:\"\";a:7:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:50:\"4.0 Release Candidate is now available for testing\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:81:\"https://theeventscalendar.com/4-0-release-candidate-is-now-available-for-testing/\";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:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:90:\"https://theeventscalendar.com/4-0-release-candidate-is-now-available-for-testing/#comments\";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, 18 Nov 2015 23:56:23 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"category\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Release Notes\";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:39:\"http://theeventscalendar.com/?p=1027765\";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:646:\"<p>We&#8217;ve been hard at work on getting The Events Calendar 4.0 in your hands.

There are even more votes each week on <a href=\"https://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas\">feature requests in our UserVoice tracker</a>.</p>\n<p>If you are one of the countless folks who has provided feedback, we first of all want to say: Thank you!! We also want to use this article to explain what we do with your feedback, how we measure it, and how we act on it.</p>\n<p>There are two major categories of user feedback: bug reports and feature requests. We are going to dive further into both of these.</p>\n<h3 id=\"bug-reports\">Bug Reports</h3>\n<p>Once a bug is reported and confirmed, we then log it in our internal issue tracker. Each bug is given a priority based on how much it impacts the average site.</p>\n<p>However, the priority that we first give those bugs is subject to change; and that&#8217;s where you come in. Each comment we receive that describes a similar issue is noted and logged. We use these logs to reprioritize things as needed. The more users who chime in, the higher we prioritize something. Some comments detail use-cases and scenarios in which the bug might be more severe than usual, and we factor that in as well.</p>\n<h3 id=\"feature-requests\">Feature Requests</h3>\n<p>Quantifying feature requests is surprisingly difficult. We read every comment we get via email, forum threads, or UserVoice. But describing a feature you want is challenging to do clearly, particularly if you don&#8217;t know technical terms or are less experienced with the nuts and bolts of WordPress. Sometimes feature request can be difficult to interpret correctly.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, it&#8217;s hard for anyone (on either side of the conversation) to visualize all of the details that a certain feature entails. Often times small changes in those details can fundamentally alter a feature, determining its usefulness to the user. For that reason, our support staff takes the time to fully understand the issues, discuss them with the user, and then log the detailed comments in our feature tracker.</p>\n<p>We tally up our list of comment feature requests alongside the UserVoice vote count, and use this as our metric for measuring user demand. However, it does not always make sense to build the most requested features first. We also have to weigh this against how long the feature takes to build. You might have 500 users request one feature, yet in the time it takes to build it you can build 10 other feature requests which thousands have collectively requested. We have to deliberate and decide the best way to spend our development resources.</p>\n<h3 id=\"planning-releases\">Planning Releases Based on Feedback</h3>\n<p>Now that you know how we collect and quantify feedback, you are probably wondering how we act on it.</p>\n<p>We plan our releases many months in advance; sometimes nearly a year out. We leave a little room in every release, for as long as we can, to slip in last minute priorities that might arise. Bugs are a priority category of their own, and can easily fill up the space allotted. They are typically addressed within 1-2 releases. Sometimes they are addressed even sooner in a hotfix.</p>\n<p>New features, on the other hand, are often on our roadmap for many months before we have time to build them. We have often said we would love having infinite resources to plan, build, test, and polish all of these features immediately. But of course such a thing is not possible. Instead, we build a careful roadmap detailing when we will plan, develop, and test a new feature. This means that when we shift priorities on a feature request, such as moving it to an earlier release date, often times another feature request must be bumped back to a later date.</p>\n<p>The closer we get to a release, the harder it gets to shuffle around which new features get included. Often we have begun laying the groundwork for a feature 1-2 releases prior. So adding new features to an upcoming release becomes exceedingly problematic. This is why when someone requests a new feature and asks if it can be implemented next week to meet their client deadline, or perhaps requests that it be implemented in the next release, we almost always have to say: It&#8217;s simply not possible. But that doesn&#8217;t mean we aren&#8217;t listening. We&#8217;re always processing feedback and working it back into our feature planning.</p>\n<p>We hope this article helped shed some light on how much we value your input, and how it shapes the future of our plugins. From all of us at Modern Tribe: Thank you very much for using our plugins.

It&#8217;s one of the first recommendations we make for the thousands of WordPress users we support each day.</p>\n<p>Nothing sucks more than realizing you can&#8217;t hit &#8220;undo&#8221; after something unexpected happens to your site. Database backups are a smart way to ensure all of your posts, pages, and other content can be restored.</p>\n<p>There are three main database backup options available:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Server backups (provided by your host)</li>\n<li>WordPress backup tools (i.e. plugins)</li>\n<li>WordPress manual backup (DIY)</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Why Create a WordPress Backup Database?</h2>\n<p>Whether you’re <a href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/manual-updates/\">manually updating your plugins</a> or making other changes to your site, there’s always a chance something could go wrong. When things start going haywire and you wish you had a backup WordPress site to rewind to, you’ll want a recent backup copy to use to restore your site to the previous settings.</p>\n<p>A WordPress website is made up of two parts: the files and the database. Your WordPress database is the home where all of the content on your site lives, including all the posts, pages, and comments on your site. It also contains metadata, user information, and plugin settings. If your database becomes corrupted, you could stand to lose everything. Your site files, which also need to be backed up, give your web browser instructions on where &amp; how to display your content. While backing up your files is certainly important, in this post we’re going to focus on options for creating a backup of your database.</p>\n<h2>Backup, Backup, and then Backup Again</h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress codex</a> recommends that as a rule of thumb, you should keep at least three backups, and that you keep them in three different places or forms (such as stored on different hard drives, thumb drives, or cloud servers). This makes a lot of sense &#8211; if one copy becomes damaged and you have multiple backups, you&#8217;ll still be able to access an intact backup of you database.</p>\n<p>The recommended frequency for your WordPress database backups depends on how often updates are made to your site, both from a content standpoint (new posts, images, content, etc&#8230;) and a code perspective (plugin updates, CSS changes, etc…). In general, it’s better to err on the side of backing up more frequently. If you publish new content every hour, you may want to backup your database several times a day. If you only publish a few times per month, weekly backups are likely totally sufficient for your needs.</p>\n<h2>Three Methods to Create a WordPress Database Backup</h2>\n<p><strong>Server Backups:</strong> Many hosting companies provide some type of backup service for your site. The quality, frequency, and ability to access those backups vary, so it is important to check with your individual provider before assuming they have things handled for you.</p>\n<p><strong>WordPress backup tools: </strong>There are plenty of plugins available to automate the backup process. Both free and premium backup plugins are out there, with various features available to meet your requirements such as scheduled backups, security scans, and automatic restores.</p>\n<p><strong>DIY/Manual Backup:</strong> If you prefer to control how your backups are created, you can perform a manual backup of your WordPress database. You can use cPanel, phpMyAdmin, or MySQL code to manually create a WordPress backup database. The WordPress Codex has <a href=\"https://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database\" target=\"_blank\">step-by-step backup instructions</a> outlining how to use these manual methods.</p>\n<h2>Prevent Disaster With Regular Database Backups</h2>\n<p>Backing up your WordPress database is one of the most important things you can do for your site. When something breaks, whether from human error, a plugin conflict, or a variety of other reasons, you want to be able to retrieve &amp; restore a working version.</p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t risk losing all of the hard work you&#8217;ve done to make your site what it is. Use one or more of the methods we just outlined above to make sure you&#8217;ve backed that thang up.</p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/options-to-create-a-wordpress-backup-database/\">3 Options to Create a WordPress Backup Database</a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com\">The Events Calendar</a>.</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:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";a:1:{s:10:\"commentRss\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:81:\"https://theeventscalendar.com/options-to-create-a-wordpress-backup-database/feed/\";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:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";a:1:{s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1:\"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:8;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:42:\"\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\";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:5:{s:0:\"\";a:7:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:18:\"Happy Singles Day!\";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:48:\"https://theeventscalendar.com/happy-singles-day/\";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:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:57:\"https://theeventscalendar.com/happy-singles-day/#comments\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:42:50 +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:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:8:\"Articles\";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:39:\"http://theeventscalendar.com/?p=1023726\";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:555:\"<p>Parks &#38; Rec may have been the first to feature “treat yo self” day, but Singles’ Day (光棍节) has them beat.

One such change is quite substantial: the splitting of our ticket-related features into a new and <strong>free</strong>, separate plugin altogether, called Event Tickets. </p>\n<p>Other changes might not seem <em>as</em> substantial, but still have us beaming with excitement at the thought of finally sharing them with our users. Here&#8217;s a look at some of our favorite such features:</p>\n<h4>Event Tickets</h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>RSVP</strong> – With the release of Event Tickets comes the long-awaited introduction of simple RSVP features for events. A simple ticket-like interface can be added to any event where event attendees can RSVP, reserving spots by entering a quantity to reserve and a name/email address.</li>\n<li><strong>Post–Type Agnostic Tickets</strong> – The new Event Tickets plugin is a standalone plugin. In other words, it does <em>not</em> require The Events Calendar to be installed. This means that, while tickets will auto-magically work with events <em>if</em> The Events Calendar <em>is</em> active on your site, you can also use a simple option in the wp-admin to add tickets to any other post type on your site.</li>\n</ul>\n<h4>Event Tickets Plus</h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>QR Codes on Tickets</strong> – We&#8217;ve been working on adding QR codes to our ticketing systems for a long time, and are beyond excited to <em>finally</em> publish these features! With Event Tickets Plus, ticket emails will include QR Codes for quick scanning at the door, making both ticket authentication <em>and</em> attendee/check-in management a breeze.</li>\n<li><strong>Pre-Licensed Users</strong> – If you currently have a valid license for any of our existing Ticketing add-ons (WooCommerce Tickets, EDD Tickets, etc.), then you will get a license of the same tier for Event Tickets Plus automatically, for free. Okay, I admit this isn&#8217;t technically a feature; but it&#8217;s still pretty cool, right?</li>\n</ul>\n<h4>Events Calendar Pro</h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>New Widget: &#8220;This Week&#8221;</strong> – It&#8217;s a bit mean to tease about this without sharing a screenshot (maybe we&#8217;ll <a href=\"http://twitter.com/theeventscal\" target=\"_blank\">tweet</a> a teaser at some point), but the new &#8220;This Week&#8221; widget in Events Calendar Pro 4.0 provides a quick snapshot of the upcoming events in the current week. It&#8217;s a simple, useful, and easily customizable widget that compliments the existing set of widgets nicely.</li>\n<li><strong>Color Pickers in WordPress Customizer</strong> – Are you frustrated that it currently takes editing custom code just to change the color of some calendar elements, like event titles or the search bar? So are we, so we made sure that Events Calendar Pro 4.0 integrates with the WordPress Customizer for effortless, WYSIWYG color adjustments. Even if you don&#8217;t need to change your calendar colors, it&#8217;s so fun to play around with that you&#8217;ll probably check it out anyways!</li>\n</ul>\n<h4>Filter Bar</h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Custom Field Filtering</strong> – with Filter Bar 4.0, you can add filters for any <a href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/pro-additional-fields/\" target=\"_blank\">Events Calendar Pro &#8220;Additional Field&#8221;</a> on your site. This is another request we&#8217;ve been getting from users for ages, and should provide some much-need functionality to one of our most beloved add-ons.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>When you keep in mind that the above features are just a <em>sampling</em> of everything coming in the 4.0 release, it&#8217;s easy to see why The Events Calendar 4.0 is something we&#8217;re so excited about here at Modern Tribe. Hopefully you&#8217;re excited too – stay tuned for the release, and follow this blog or <a href=\"http://twitter.com/theeventscal\" target=\"_blank\">@TheEventsCal on Twitter</a> for more sneak-peeks and updates!</p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/some-favorite-features-in-the-upcoming-4-0-release/\">Some favorite features in the upcoming 4.0 release</a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com\">The Events Calendar</a>.</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:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";a:1:{s:10:\"commentRss\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:86:\"https://theeventscalendar.com/some-favorite-features-in-the-upcoming-4-0-release/feed/\";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:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";a:1:{s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1:\"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:\"\";}}}}}}}s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";a:1:{s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:0:\"\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:1:{s:0:\"\";a:3:{s:4:\"href\";s:35:\"https://theeventscalendar.com/feed/\";s:3:\"rel\";s:4:\"self\";s:4:\"type\";s:19:\"application/rss+xml\";}}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";a:2:{s:12:\"updatePeriod\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:6:\"hourly\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:15:\"updateFrequency\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1:\"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:\"type\";i:128;s:7:\"headers\";a:11:{s:6:\"server\";s:5:\"nginx\";s:4:\"date\";s:29:\"Sat, 28 Nov 2015 17:49:08 GMT\";s:12:\"content-type\";s:34:\"application/rss+xml;

You can even embed <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/09/30/feature-plugin-merge-proposal-oembed/\">previews of posts</a> from other WordPress sites by pasting the URL on its own line.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>There have been a lot of changes for developers to play with as well:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>REST API (phase 1) </strong>— The underlying infrastructure of the WordPress REST API <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/rest-api/\">plugin</a> has been <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/09/21/wp-rest-api-merge-proposal/\">included in WordPress 4.4</a>. Plugin authors can take advantage of this by adding custom endpoints.</li>\n<li><strong>Term Metadata </strong>— Taxonomy term metadata is <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/09/04/taxonomy-term-metadata-proposal/\">now included</a> in WordPress 4.4. If you&#8217;ve already been using a plugin to implement term metadata, you should read <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/09/22/preparing-your-plugins-and-your-client-sites-for-termmeta/\">this post</a> on how to prepare. Also, the underlying <code>WP_Term</code> class improves caching when working with terms.

If you like the show, I&#8217;d highly appreciate if you share it with your friends and colleagues.</p>\n<h3>Why did you make such a big bet on Calypso?</h3>\n<p>Matt has talked for a while now about his vision that WordPress can become an &#8220;app platform,&#8221; and this is an example of what that meant to him.</p>\n<p>He also notes how he&#8217;s always  looking for things that will &#8220;move the needle&#8221; for greater WordPress adoption. We were both thinking about the same statistic: that <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/2013-state-of-the-word-from-matt-mullenweg/\">roughly 96% of WordPress.com users</a> (and probably a high number of WordPress.org users too) essentially abandon their websites after a short tenure. So anything that can increase that number, to say 8% or 15% of folks that stick with it long term, can make a huge difference.</p>\n<h3>How do you think about investing in feature development for WordPress.com, and how it affects WordPress as well?</h3>\n<p>When Matt considers where he wants to invest Automattic developer and designer time, he says he thinks of WordPress as a whole first, before considering specifics for WordPress.com. He&#8217;d rather see WordPress.com as a gateway to a self-hosted install. And whether someone stays on .com or moves to a self-hosted install, he wants to help ensure that their problems are solved.</p>\n<h3>WordPresses</h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s new to me, but Matt says he&#8217;s been saying it for years, that he calls WordPress websites &#8220;WordPresses,&#8221; after a long time internal debate about whether to call WordPress.com websites sites or blogs.</p>\n<h3>WordPress.com as a network versus a platform</h3>\n<p>The new homepage for logged in users, or users in the WordPress.com app, defaults to the Reader view of the interface, versus the writing view. This intrigued me, as I don&#8217;t personally think of WordPress.com as a read-first ecosystem, but rather a place to write. I think more of Tumblr or Medium when I think of a destination for reading, where I may also write.</p>\n<p>Matt and I talked about the merits of WordPress as a network versus a platform. He thinks it can be both. And I think this touches on one of the big goals for Calypso that we haven&#8217;t discussed yet: to make WordPress a better network.</p>\n<p>To me, WordPress.com is a platform, but WordPress (both .com and Jetpack enabled sites) are ripe to be a hugely successful network, through the huge number of websites and independent publishers that are interconnected via WordPress.com.</p>\n<p>There is more evidence that this is a goal for them too, with the <a href=\"https://discover.wordpress.com/2015/11/23/hello-world/\">launch of Discover WordPress</a> along with the release of the new interface. Discover WordPress is a project by the editorial team to surface the best writing across WordPress.com and Jetpack enabled websites.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, beyond the human curated content, much could be done in the future algorithmically. We didn&#8217;t get as much into this stuff as I would&#8217;ve liked, but I think it&#8217;s  an enormous growth area for Automattic.</p>\n<h3>Open sourcing Calypso</h3>\n<p>The Calypso <a href=\"https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso\">project code</a> is fully open source, and is a top trending project on Github right now. There are few requirements to run the code locally, so you can pretty quickly get a working web view.</p>\n<p>There are a slew of <a href=\"https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/tree/master/client/components\">fancy React components</a> that could be pretty easily lifted from Calypso and used independently, as well as a <a href=\"https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/blob/master/docs/guide/hello-world.md\">guide to getting started</a> with the full codebase.</p>\n<h3>How can the community anticipate the future, with more abstracted implementations of WordPress?</h3>\n<p>As WordPress projects continue to use REST APIs to create fully custom frontends, backends, and inbetweens, I was curious what Matt thinks the community can do to anticipate and educate users on how to deal with these scenarios, that may fragment WordPress and be confusing for people who expect WordPress plugins and code to interact well with one another.</p>\n<p>He doesn&#8217;t think it&#8217;s too much of a problem, but says it&#8217;s important that we experiment and learn from our experiments; he was hesitant to call the potential for confusion fragmentation as much as experimentation. Either way, I do think education and documentation will be important as other folks continue to use parts of WordPress to make impressive things, without supporting every specific thing that can <em>also</em> run on WordPress.</p>\n<p>An example of this is the WordPress.com app itself. You can manage Jetpack enabled sites through it, but that doesn&#8217;t mean you get everything in the editor you&#8217;d get with a WordPress.org site, like custom fields and other plugin functionality that the desktop app doesn&#8217;t support.</p>\n<h3>What is Automattic&#8217;s differentiating factor?</h3>\n<p>I wanted to know what Automattic&#8217;s differentiating factor is, in Matt&#8217;s mind. He defaulted, I guess unsurprisingly, to &#8220;everything,&#8221; but as I pushed him a little further, he dug a bit more into some of the things that make Automattic interesting.</p>\n<p>From a self-hosted perspective, WordPress.com integrated tools like Stats, VaultPress, and Akismet are difficult to match with other tools.</p>\n<p>For WordPress.com, he thinks the potential power of the Reader and network can be compelling. I agree there that the diversity of the WordPress.com and Jetpack author audience could make for a compelling Reading product, that has more potential than I see right now in a competitor like Medium, which is quite tech heavy.</p>\n<p>Matt says, <span class=\"pullquote alignright\">&#8220;We&#8217;ve built up a lot of trust in the community, and that goodwill definitely pays back.&#8221;</span> Part of what makes it hard to identify Automattic&#8217;s specific differentiator is that they do a lot of things. Matt acknowledged this, but counters by saying that they work hard on user experience and being a good community citizen.</p>\n<h3>How have teams changed at Automattic over time?</h3>\n<p>Automattic scales by splitting teams when they get too big. Today, there are 46 teams. Some of those teams are embedded in larger teams and have some hierarchy, but the company is still quite flat for a company of 400 people.</p>\n<p>The rule of thumb Matt wants to maintain is that someone should have no more than 10 people that report directly to them, though he has around 23.</p>\n<p>According to the standards of the tech world, Automattic&#8217;s scale in terms of the number of employees may be somewhat ordinary, but they have still had massive and consistent change over the decade of the company&#8217;s existence. And they are hiring as fast as they can to this day.</p>\n<h3>The challenge of customizing WordPress sites</h3>\n<p>A couple of years ago, someone from Automattic told me how concerned they were about the WordPress customizer&#8217;s ability to scale, both for use on mobile devices, and as a utility that could manage a lot of features. And I wanted to know how Matt thinks that has evolved, now that the customizer is in such significant use on both WordPress.com and for self-hosted websites.</p>\n<p>As he notes, the customizer has undergone a lot of positive iteration over the last several releases, and today the WordPress.com and WordPress.org customizers are using the same base code; whereas for a while WordPress.com had their own custom implementation.</p>\n<p>But he still says that, &#8220;If we&#8217;re candid with ourselves, &#8230; customization is still the worst part of WordPress, you know? It&#8217;s the hardest. It&#8217;s where people get stuck. It&#8217;s where there&#8217;s a real gap between the promise and what people are able to realize and create when they get started using WordPress.&#8221;</p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not as much a problem with the use of themes, or if you can code, but for new users, &#8220;it&#8217;s their biggest struggle.&#8221;</p>\n<p>One idea that I have is to have a more Medium-like interface be the &#8220;default&#8221; view, versus a changing default theme. That way, WordPress.com could be more opinionated about the default view, and change the theme at will, or along with trends, versus giving new users the default theme of a particular year and then that theme is untouched unless the user decides to switch.</p>\n<p>Matt said they have that a bit on the Reader view, but that is what someone in the WordPress.com network would see, versus what an outside website visitor would see.</p>\n<p>Anyway, there are definitely challenges ahead for enabling customizations and, more importantly, just ensuring sites look good for users. I think that this is an area where other platforms &#8212; like Medium and Squarespace, though in different ways &#8212; are doing a good job.</p>\n<h3>The first line of the Automattic creed</h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"http://ma.tt/2011/09/automattic-creed/\">Automattic creed</a> states at the very beginning, &#8220;I will never stop learning.&#8221; That was part of Matt&#8217;s response when I asked just how they managed to <a href=\"http://dentedreality.com.au/2015/11/23/all-new-wordpress-com/\">cross-train a workforce</a> that was primarily made of PHP developers to create a world-class JavaScript driven application.</p>\n<p>Additionally to the natural desires that Automattic employees should have to learn, they created internal resources for helping people, and are considering releasing some of that material, maybe in the form of webinars or an online conference.</p>\n<p>Matt said Automatticians will also be sharing what they learn at other conferences, like the upcoming <a href=\"https://feelingrestful.com/speakers/\">A Day of REST</a>, where two Automatticians will be speaking.</p>\n<p>Matt did admit that he hasn&#8217;t made the PHP to JavaScript switch yet, and personally feels more comfortable in PHP; though some of his team have said it wasn&#8217;t as intimidating as it sounds.</p>\n<h3>Bug bounties</h3>\n<p>Did you know all Automattic properties are on <a href=\"https://hackerone.com/automattic\">Hacker One</a>, the bug bounty community? If you find a security bug, you can get a bounty if you report it. I didn&#8217;t know this until the Calypso launch.</p>\n<h3>How is Automattic thinking about revenue?</h3>\n<p>With my napkin math and a few small things I know about Automattic, I&#8217;d guesstimate they are somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 million in annual revenue. I didn&#8217;t even attempt to get confirmation of this, because I know they don&#8217;t reveal this kind of information. So instead I wanted to get more insights of how Matt thinks about revenue at Automattic.</p>\n<p>Generally, he says they put their focus in, &#8220;three main buckets.&#8221; They use that focus both for revenue purposes and product purposes. Those areas are WordPress.com, Jetpack, and WooCommerce.</p>\n<p>They group things like VaultPress and Akismet under Jetpack; so it&#8217;s basically their WordPress.org SaaS revenue stream. Those are paid subscription products.  They have been transitioning that offering, as Matt shared, &#8220;a big trend over the past few years, has been to move away from a la carte upgrades, and have more bundles.&#8221;</p>\n<p>They&#8217;ve discovered that bundled plans of $100 per year and $300 per year have been successful. Here are those plans, for both WordPress.com and WordPress.org, as shown in the new WordPress.com/Calypso interface:</p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15013\" src=\"https://cdn.poststatus.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/wp-org-plan.png\" alt=\"wp-org-plan\" width=\"739\" height=\"693\" /><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15014\" src=\"https://cdn.poststatus.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/wpcom-plan.png\" alt=\"wpcom-plan\" width=\"736\" height=\"798\" /></p>\n<p>It appears they get most of their revenue from this stream. I do know, and have previously reported, that at least at one point, WordPress.com VIP accounted for upwards of 25% of overall revenue, and though that gross number has gone up over the years, its percentage of overall revenue has gone down, meaning that these paid plans have outpaced VIP, growth-wise. I&#8217;d guess VIP revenue is now less than half of that 25% number now, but can&#8217;t confirm it.</p>\n<h3>Total sites, versus engagement</h3>\n<p>There are a lot of WordPress.com websites, but as Matt noted, it&#8217;s a vanity metric due to the fact that such a small percentage are active, engaged users. So they are trying more to track engagement versus total sites.</p>\n<p>I tried to get him to share the number of active websites, but that&#8217;s not something he could share.</p>\n<h3>Helping site owners monetize, and WooCommerce integration to WordPress.com</h3>\n<p>I talked about the roadmap some, and asked Matt about what they may offer in the future to help authors monetize their sites. They currently have a <a href=\"https://wordads.co/\">WordAds</a> program, but that is a pageview driven strategy, and I&#8217;d love to see them introduce a way for authors to get paid via a tip jar, private paid posts, or subscription system like I&#8217;ve heard Medium is investigating. It&#8217;s not on their current roadmap, but he says he&#8217;d be open to it.</p>\n<p>He also noted that since WooCommerce is now &#8220;part of the family,&#8221; that there may be future monetization opportunities through that, though he said they don&#8217;t have current plans for a hosted version of WooCommerce on WordPress.com. I was honestly pretty surprised by this:</p>\n<blockquote><p>In the beginning, our focus is really going to be on people hosting their stores, you know, with web hosts. Because, part of the beauty of why WooCommerce is so popular is the flexibility, and I don&#8217;t think the usability is there &#8212; yet &#8212; to be competitive with, like, a  Shopify, or a BigCommerce. So, it&#8217;s just a lot of work to do there.</p></blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"pullquote alignright\">Matt said he thinks of WooCommerce as how WordPress was around version 1.5. He called it, &#8220;very early days&#8221;</span>, in that people are using it and see the potential, but says, &#8220;there&#8217;s just so much to work on and improve to make it accessible to a wider audience.&#8221;</p>\n<p>He says the Woo team is now 63 people, and a number of Automatticians are doing &#8220;Wootations,&#8221; or rotations with the Woo team.</p>\n<h3>What to expect next in the new WordPress.com interface</h3>\n<p>They are still working on a lot of things for the new interface. There are certain things that aren&#8217;t there yet. For instance, showing and hiding your sites you are personally attached to still requires the regular admin. I actually experienced this myself. Some parts of the interface are pretty circular and confusing.</p>\n<p>But they plan to do more going forward; their values on the project state that, &#8220;we are here for the long haul.&#8221; They want to see what there is demand for, and what other people do with the open source nature of the project.</p>\n<p>Matt also noted that he&#8217;d like to &#8220;loop back&#8221; to content blocks (code named <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/features-as-plugins/\">CEUX</a>) &#8212; the project that stalled last year. And he&#8217;s like to see what can be done around collaboration, editing, and the suggestion process.</p>\n<h3>Power and ease of use</h3>\n<p>One of the biggest challenges for WordPress is to continue to get easier to use, as other avenues for sharing information have gotten easier and easier, while continuing to enable powerful, feature rich implementations of WordPress.</p>\n<p>Matt thinks this balance is important, and that we must continue to improve in both directions to continue WordPress&#8217;s growth.</p>\n<h3>Wrapping up</h3>\n<p>I really enjoyed my first audio interview with Matt. He says we can expect more announcements around WordCamp US, which starts next week.</p>\n<p>The Calypso project is a fascinating one, and it&#8217;s a great example of what we should continue to expect: powerful, catered tools that run on a RESTful API. They aren&#8217;t always going to be tools for use everywhere, but we can expect to continue to see WordPress used in innovative ways, and be an exceptional platform for all kinds of applications.</p>\n<p>And finally, at the end of the interview, I pitched Matt on one of my most harebrained ideas. The naming conflict between WordPress.com and WordPress was really bad with this project, as nearly everyone not deeply embedded within the WordPress world got it wrong, and conflated Automattic&#8217;s WordPress.com with WordPress the software.</p>\n<p>And I think Jetpack&#8217;s brand has really blossomed. I think there is an argument to be made that Automattic could change the name of WordPress.com to Jetpack, and both Automattic and WordPress would win from the change. It wouldn&#8217;t be easy, but all I asked from him, is whether he&#8217;d read my post if I wrote one to give the pitch. He said he would, so expect that sometime soon.</p>\n<p>Thanks to Matt for the interview, and thanks to <a href=\"https://twitter.com/markarms\">Mark Armstrong</a> for helping me get going with the new WordPress.com app and arranging the interview.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://ma.tt/2013/07/wcsf-contributor-day-2013/\">* Photo credit Sheri Bigelow</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, 25 Nov 2015 19:13:27 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:15:\"Brian Krogsgard\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:1;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\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:99:\"WPTavern: The WordPress Theme Directory Replaces Download Counts With the Number of Active Installs\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=49123\";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:109:\"http://wptavern.com/the-wordpress-theme-directory-replaces-download-counts-with-the-number-of-active-installs\";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:3429:\"<p>Earlier this year, the <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-plugin-directory-launches-new-design\">WordPress plugin directory was redesigned</a>. As part of the redesign, download counts were replaced with the number of Active Installs to reflect more accurate data. The <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/themes/\">WordPress theme directory</a> has finally followed suit by replacing download counts with the number of Active Installs.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/ActiveInstallsofTwentyFifteen.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-49125\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-49125\" src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/ActiveInstallsofTwentyFifteen.png?resize=891%2C547\" alt=\"Active Installs of Twenty Fifteen\" /></a>Active Installs of Twenty Fifteen\n<p>As you can see from the above screenshot, the Twenty Fifteen default theme included in WordPress 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3, is active on more than one million sites. Active themes are those that are activated and in use on a site. Themes that are installed and not activated are not counted, neither are child themes.</p>\n<p>In the Themereview Slack Channel, Tom Usborne <a href=\"https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/themereview/p1447998481000578\">explains why</a> active installs for child themes should be counted.</p>\n<blockquote><p>I think an argument for child themes to be included in the active installs count can be made. For example, we offer a completely blank child theme for our customers so they can make CSS and PHP adjustments. This means our install count isn&#8217;t accurate on w.org, even though those people are using the theme actively.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Dion Hulse, WordPress lead developer, <a href=\"https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/themereview/p1447998501000579\">agrees</a> that child themes should be counted but the team doesn&#8217;t have the data yet. Some theme authors are concerned that new themes will have a tough time making it on the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/themes/browse/popular/\">popular themes page</a>.</p>\n<p>Originally, the popular themes page was determined by the number of downloads over the previous week, which led to some authors to try to <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/the-wordpress-theme-directory-no-longer-counts-automated-downloads\">game the system</a>. Hulse says, &#8220;The actual comparison between active installs and the previous week&#8217;s downloads were very similar, except for a handful of themes that had a lot more downloads than installs.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Hulse plans to experiment with the algorithms to give newer themes a chance, &#8220;I’m also looking at ranking popular themes based on the age of the theme and installs, which will help promote some of the newer themes,&#8221; he said.</p>\n<p>Thanks to active install counts for themes, we can see which default WordPress theme is the most popular.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Twenty Fifteen 1+ Million</li>\n<li>Twenty Fourteen 800K+</li>\n<li>Twenty Twelve 500K+</li>\n<li>Twenty Eleven 500K+</li>\n<li>Twenty Ten 300K+</li>\n<li>Twenty Thirteen 300K+</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Download counts are a terrible way to determine a theme or plugin&#8217;s popularity which is why I support this change. It&#8217;s more accurate and helps to further level the playing field for authors.

Theme Designer can pull data from the WordPress.org theme directory API and store it on your site. There’s also a built-in feature set for adding custom meta fields to the edit theme screen.</p>\n<p>In addition to managing themes, Tadlock plans to create add-ons and integrate Theme Designer with other plugins.

When the beta is complete, Tadlock will charge for access making it his first major commercial plugin. Theme Designer will come in two flavors, a supported and non-supported version.</p>\n<p>The supported version gives customers a <strong>developer level</strong> membership to Theme Hybrid which is currently $35 a year. The non-supported version contains the plugin only.

Blogging has always been mistaken for its containers, tools, the length of the posts or just a replacement for the rapid-fire publishing of old-fashioned news. In reality, blogging is essentially a philosophy built on the ethos of sharing.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Today sharing on the internet is a major social behavior: We share photos, links, videos, thoughts, opinions, news. Except instead of sharing on a blog, we do the sharing in increasingly proprietary and corporate silos: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Periscope and LinkedIn. You see, the blogging ethos is alive and well. However, the old blogging tools have to embrace change.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">At the end of the day, it&#8217;s not about technology for technology&#8217;s sake, it&#8217;s about technology at the service of human voices. Embracing change to support the free, open web where everyone has a voice.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Finally, it was a weird coincidence we didn&#8217;t even notice, but the Calypso announcement was <a href=\"https://en.blog.wordpress.com/2005/11/23/opening-it-up/\">ten years to the day after we opened up WordPress.com</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:\"Tue, 24 Nov 2015 19:42:59 +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:4:\"Matt\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:5;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\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:86:\"WPTavern: Automattic Unveils Open Source WordPress.com Desktop Application for the Mac\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=49077\";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:92:\"http://wptavern.com/automattic-unveils-open-source-wordpress-desktop-application-for-the-mac\";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:5489:\"<p>In the last two years, Automattic has made significant improvements to WordPress.com and Jetpack.

The individual changes represent iteration but when seen as a whole, show off an entirely new WordPress.com.</p>\n<p>Automattic has <a href=\"https://en.blog.wordpress.com/2015/11/23/the-new-wordpress-dot-com/\">announced</a> that the improvements its made in the last two years are part of an internal project <a href=\"https://desktop.wordpress.com/\">named Calypso</a>. The company also released a WordPress.com desktop application for the Mac and <a href=\"https://developer.wordpress.com/calypso/\">open sourced</a> the code on <a href=\"https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso\">GitHub</a>.</p>\n<p>The application is written entirely in JavaScript using the <a href=\"https://nodejs.org/en/\">Node</a> and <a href=\"https://facebook.github.io/react/\">React</a> libraries. It&#8217;s also <a href=\"https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/api/\">100% reliant</a> on APIs, including the REST API.</p>\n<h2>My Experience with Calypso</h2>\n<p>Over the weekend, I tested the application on my Macbook Pro. I initially thought it was inconsistent as there were many instances where a button opened a browser and took me outside the app. However, Calypso has gone through a number of updates and most of the inconsistencies have disappeared.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Calypso1.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-49080\"><img class=\"wp-image-49080 size-full\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Calypso1.png?resize=1025%2C795\" alt=\"Calypso1\" /></a>Calypso\n<p>Most of what you&#8217;re able to accomplish in the WordPress backend you can do in the app including, editing posts, creating drafts, and moderating comments.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Calypso2.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-49081\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-49081\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Calypso2.png?resize=1025%2C799\" alt=\"Calypso2\" /></a>Although there is the occasional Beep&#8230;.Beep&#8230;.Boop, the application is fast. Some of the pages within the app feel like they load faster than their browser counterparts. Some things still require action from within a browser such as applying updates. This doesn&#8217;t make sense considering the Jetpack Manage module is enabled.</p>\n<p>When managing themes, I noticed at least two of the them don&#8217;t include the white bottom bar making the titles difficult to read. Also, the details link loads a browser window to the backend of the site I&#8217;m managing. It feels like an interruption instead of a seamless experience. There should be no reason to load a browser window except for previewing a post.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Calypso3.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-49082\"><img class=\"wp-image-49082 size-full\" src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Calypso3.png?resize=1025%2C790\" alt=\"Calypso3\" /></a>Managing Themes in Calypso\n<p>If you&#8217;re familiar with or use the WordPress.com post editor, the editor in Calypso is pretty much the same.</p>\n<p>For years I&#8217;ve written posts with meta boxes on the right and getting used to them on the left will take a while. The editor has most of the features available in WordPress. For example, oEmbed support which many other third-party WordPress apps don&#8217;t have.</p>\n<p>When the application is in full-screen mode, it looks great and blocks out distractions. In the most recent update however, the Preview button acts like a Save button and doesn&#8217;t show a preview of the post. This is likely a bug and will be fixed in a later version.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/CalypsoPostEditingScreen.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-49083\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-49083\" src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/CalypsoPostEditingScreen.png?resize=1025%2C790\" alt=\"CalypsoPostEditingScreen\" /></a>Calypso is a great example of what&#8217;s possible with the WordPress REST API. There are still a few instances when clicking a button takes you outside the app but those will be fixed in future updates.</p>\n<p>Overall, it&#8217;s convenient to have access to most of WordPress&#8217; features without interacting with a browser. For those who use a Mac, I can easily see Calypso being the preferred way to interact and manage WordPress sites.</p>\n<p>As Matt Mullenweg <a href=\"http://ma.tt/2015/11/dance-to-calypso/\">mentions in his post</a>, there&#8217;s still a lot of work left to do, &#8220;This is a beginning, not an ending.

The code behind the app is also the foundation for a new version of the WordPress.com browser editor.</p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a quick video walkthrough:</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>The new WordPress.com app development occurred over the course of at least 18 months, according to the press release, with input from more than 140 Automatticians. <a href=\"http://apeatling.com/about-me/\">Andy Peatling</a>, who has been at Automattic since 2008, was the project lead.</p>\n<h3>If you could rebuild the admin from scratch</h3>\n<p>Matt Mullenweg said that Automattic wanted to completely rethink the WordPress admin experience, without the burden of backward compatibility that WordPress core must hold sacred:</p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>What would we build if we were starting from scratch today, knowing all we’ve learned over the past 13 years of building WordPress?</strong> At the beginning of last year, we decided to start experimenting and see.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Calypso was an ambitious project. Not only does it bring the WordPress editing and publishing experience to a Mac app, but pretty much the entire WordPress.com admin experience is now available on the desktop, from stats to theme shopping.</p>\n<p>While the app is definitely geared toward the experience one would expect on a WordPress.com website, you can also manage <a href=\"http://jetpack.me/2015/11/23/jwordpress-com-app-for-mac/\">Jetpack enabled</a> websites with it. The Jetpack Manage feature must be enabled for it to work, and I admit I struggled to get it to function with my own (personal) website. However, I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;ll get any kinks worked out, and anyone looking for basic website management, but are on WordPress.org, may enjoy the experience.</p>\n<h3>Open sourcing WordPress.com</h3>\n<p>The most important part of the announcement is that Automattic is open sourcing Calypso and the many APIs that help drive it.</p>\n<blockquote><p>A lot of people thought we should keep this proprietary, but throughout my life I’ve learned that the more you give away, the more you get back. We still have a ton to figure out around plugins, extensibility, contributions, Windows and Linux releases, API speed, localization, and harmonizing the WordPress.com API and WP-API so it can work with core WordPress. Thousands more PHP developers will need to become fluent with Javascript to recreate their admin interfaces in this fashion. I’m also really excited to revisit and redesign many more screens now that we have this first version out the door.</p></blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;m really glad they chose to open source it. I agree with Matt that both the app and the broader community will benefit from the decision; though I don&#8217;t doubt it may have been a tough sell to investors.</p>\n<p>I also agree with Ben Thompson (a former Automattician, by chance), <a href=\"https://stratechery.com/2015/tensorflow-and-monetizing-intellectual-property/\">who once said</a> that proprietary software itself isn&#8217;t necessarily what makes a company successful, but rather, &#8220;companies that are built on software but differentiated by a difficult-to-replicate complement to said software.&#8221;</p>\n<p>In Automattic&#8217;s case, open sourcing the techniques to build the app isn&#8217;t giving away what is most valuable. What is most valuable to them is what they gain from the open source nature of the software, that will allow them to improve the experience for their vast WordPress.com user base.</p>\n<h3>Calypso is a good step forward for WordPress.com</h3>\n<p>I&#8217;ve worried for a while now that Automattic may be letting their audience slip, by falling behind the ease of use of other tools, like Medium. I think the new WordPress.com editor, and the corresponding WordPress.com app, are a great improvement to the writing experience, and I think that the investment they&#8217;ve made is a smart one.</p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be digging more into the code and developer components of the new APIs and the Mac app soon. I didn&#8217;t have access to that data prior to launch.</p>\n<p>The new app is available for <a href=\"http://desktop.wordpress.com/\">download from WordPress.com</a> now, or you can of course test drive the browser version directly on WordPress.com.

When I took on the <a href=\"http://ma.tt/2014/01/toni-automattic-ceo/\">responsibility of CEO of Automattic January of last year</a>, we faced two huge problems: our growth was constrained by lack of capital, and the technological foundations of the past decade weren’t strong enough for the demands of next one.</p>\n<p>The first has a relatively straightforward answer. We found some fantastic partners, agreed on a fair price, <a href=\"http://ma.tt/2014/05/new-funding-for-automattic/\">issued new equity in the company to raise $160M</a>, and started investing in areas we felt were high potential, like <a href=\"http://ma.tt/2015/05/woomattic/\">this year’s WooCommerce acquisition</a>. This &#8220;war chest&#8221; gives us a huge array of options, especially given our fairly flat burn rate &#8212; we don&#8217;t need to raise money again to keep the company going, and any capital we raise in the future will be purely discretionary. (Since last May when the round happened we&#8217;ve only spent $3M of the investment on <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_expense\">opex</a>.)</p>\n<p>The second is much harder to address. The <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/\">WordPress</a> codebase is actually incredible in many ways &#8212; the result of many thousands of people collaborating over 13 years &#8212; but some of WordPress’ greatest strengths were also holding it back.</p>\n<p>The WordPress codebase contains a sea of institutional knowledge and countless bug fixes. It handles hundreds of edge cases. Integrates constant security improvements. Is coded to scale. Development moves at a fast clip, with <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/category/releases/\">six major releases over the past two years</a> and more <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/4-4/\">around the corner</a>. Its power and flexibility is undeniable: WordPress just passed a huge milestone, <a href=\"http://ma.tt/2015/11/seventy-five-to-go/\">and now powers 25% of the web</a>. You can run it on a $5-a-month web host, or scale it up to serve billions of pageviews on one of the largest sites on the web, <a href=\"https://wordpress.com/\">WordPress.com</a>.</p>\n<p>The interface, however, has been a struggle. Many of us attempted to give it a reboot with the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/10/23/mp6-3-8-proposal/\">MP6 project</a> and the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2013/12/parker/\">version 3.8 release</a>, but what that release made clear to me is that an incremental approach wouldn&#8217;t give us the improvements we needed, and that two of the things that helped make WordPress the strong, stable, powerful tool it is &#8212; backward compatibility and working without JavaScript &#8212; were actually holding it back.</p>\n<p>The basic paradigms of wp-admin are largely the same as they were five years ago. Working within them had become limiting. The time seemed ripe for something new, something big… but if you&#8217;re going to break back compat, it needs to be for a really good reason. A 20x improvement, not a 2x. Most open source projects fade away rather than make evolutionary jumps.</p>\n<p>So we asked ourselves a big question. <strong>What would we build if we were starting from scratch today, knowing all we&#8217;ve learned over the past 13 years of building WordPress?</strong> At the beginning of last year, we decided to start experimenting and see.</p>\n<p>Today we&#8217;re announcing something brand new, a new approach to WordPress, and open sourcing the code behind it. The project, codenamed Calypso, is the culmination of more than 20 months of work by dozens of the most talented engineers and designers I&#8217;ve had the pleasure of working with (127 contributors with over 26,000 commits!).</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-45613\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/ma.tt/files/2015/11/gm-2015-final.jpg?resize=604%2C431\" alt=\"gm-2015-final\" /></p>\n<p>Calypso is&#8230;</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Incredibly fast.

The post includes data that shows the number of plugins added to the directory per year, what year the plugins were last updated, and other metrics.</p>\n<p>My favorite data point is the number of plugins approved per year. Based on this data, it looks like it&#8217;s going to be another record year for the directory. The five active team members including, Mika Epstein, Pippin Williamson, and Samuel Wood have their work cut out for them.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/NumberOfPluginsAddedPerYear.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-49062\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-49062\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/NumberOfPluginsAddedPerYear.png?resize=939%2C684\" alt=\"Number of Plugins Added Per Year\" /></a>Number of Plugins Added Per Year\n<p>According to the data, about 22K plugins have been updated in the last 24 months representing a little more than half the directory.

If you pick a free plugin that is released today, there’s a 80-90% chance that in three years time you won’t have any more updates.&#8221;</p>\n<p>There are a number of possibilities as to why a plugin doesn&#8217;t get updated for two years or more.</p>\n<ol>\n<li>The developer burns out or moves on.</li>\n<li>The plugin doesn&#8217;t need an update.</li>\n<li>Lack of donations.</li>\n<li>Support is too much of a burden.</li>\n<li>No time.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>The data doesn&#8217;t spell doom and gloom for users but it clearly shows that many plugins within the directory don&#8217;t have a long shelf life. I encourage you to <a href=\"https://addendio.com/2015-will-be-a-record-year-for-wordpress-plugins/\">read Fracassi&#8217;s post</a> and review the data he&#8217;s collected.

Some theme authors are having to <a href=\"https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=new&status=reopened&keywords=!~buddypress&col=id&col=summary&col=priority&col=status&col=owner&col=type&col=time&col=changetime&report=5&order=priority\">wait two months</a> or more for their first review.</p>\n<p>Ashley Evans submitted <a href=\"https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/25318\">her theme</a> in June and she&#8217;s yet to complete the review process. Throughout that time period, both Evans and the reviewer experienced delays in responding to each other. A few months into the review, the <a href=\"https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/25318#comment:21\">reviewer disappeared</a> and Evans was <a href=\"https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/25318#comment:23\">assigned a new reviewer</a> two days ago.</p>\n<p>Understandably, the experience has discouraged Evan&#8217;s from submitting anymore themes to the directory:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Back in August, I said, &#8216;Screw it&#8217; and released the theme as a free download on my blog. This process has basically made me vow to stick to adding plugins to the repo and stop adding any more themes.</p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not blaming the theme review team since I can only imagine how much stuff they have to wade through. It&#8217;s just sad that the process has discouraged me from ever doing it again.</p></blockquote>\n<p>On October 9th, Tammie Lister <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/themes/2015/10/09/forgotten-review-push-sometimes-themes-get-forgotten-in/\">updated the Theme Review queues</a> and identified a number of themes that fell through the cracks.

In June, the team <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/themes/2015/06/05/suggested-roadmap/\">published its suggested roadmap</a> to improve multiple facets of the review process. One of the items on the list to help cut down the review queue is the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/themes/2015/10/07/automation-here-we-come/\">auto-approval</a> of theme updates. However, the team is still hard at work trying to code and implement changes to improve the system.</p>\n<h2>Help Them Help You</h2>\n<a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/school.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-27795\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-27795\" src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/school.jpg?resize=1025%2C487\" alt=\"photo credit: Rob Shenk via - cc\" /></a>photo credit: <a href=\"https://www.flickr.com/photos/rcsj/2915797223/\">Rob Shenk</a> via &#8211; <a href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/\">cc</a>\n<p>One of the items high on the team&#8217;s to-do list is to put more effort towards education. In order to do that, Justin Tadlock says the team has to free up resources, &#8220;We need to free up our biggest resources, which are the team members themselves. However, we can&#8217;t free up those people when they&#8217;re spending 100% of their time doing reviews.&#8221;</p>\n<p>The most important thing theme authors can do to speed up the review process is to check that your theme meets the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/review/required/\">Theme Review Requirements</a>. According to Tadlock, &#8220;The majority of themes submitted don&#8217;t follow the guidelines which considerably slows down the process. Themes will often have 20-30 issues or more. If we can get to a point to where the majority of submissions only have a few minor issues, we really wouldn&#8217;t have a queue.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Theme authors who test their themes against <a href=\"https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Unit_Test\">Theme Unit Test Data</a> and the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-check/\">Theme Check Plugin</a> substantially improve the system for everyone. What the team needs most is help. Tadlock offers three ways contributors can get involved to improve the situation.</p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/get-involved/become-a-reviewer/\">Doing reviews</a>.</li>\n<li>Tackling Meta Trac tickets related to the theme directory.</li>\n<li>Writing tutorials.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Tadlock isn&#8217;t sure how to get theme authors to raise the quality of their themes before the initial review, &#8220;That&#8217;s the sort of feedback I want to see from fellow theme authors. What do we need to do to help them get their themes ready before submission?&#8221;</p>\n<h2>How to Get Involved</h2>\n<p>The team is always in need of more theme reviewers. Reviewing themes is a great way to learn theme development and what not to do. If you&#8217;re interested in reviewing themes, read the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/get-involved/become-a-reviewer/\">following document</a> from the Theme Review Handbook. It explains how to set up a testing environment with an example of a <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/review/review-workflow/\">testing workflow</a>.</p>\n<p>The Theme Review Team also has a project meeting every <a href=\"http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20151110T1800\"><abbr class=\"date\" title=\"2015-11-10T18:00:00+00:00\">Tuesday, November 10, 2015, 1:00 PM EST</abbr></a> in the <strong>#themereview</strong> channel on <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/chat/\">Slack</a>.</p>\n<h2>Exercise Patience</h2>\n<p>Exercising patience is a difficult thing to do if you&#8217;ve already waited eight weeks or more for the first review. However, fixing the system is going to take time. If you want to know about the status of your theme and it has an assigned reviewer, you should ask for a status update within the ticket. If your theme doesn&#8217;t have an assigned reviewer, you can ask about its status in the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/chat/\">Theme Review Team Slack</a> channel with a link to the theme.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 17 Nov 2015 17:20:59 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:14;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\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:102:\"WPTavern: Imperva’s Web Application Attack Report Shows Spam Is WordPress’ Largest Security Threat\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=48995\";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:106:\"http://wptavern.com/impervas-web-application-attack-report-shows-spam-is-wordpress-largest-security-threat\";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:6738:\"<p><a href=\"http://www.imperva.com\">Imperva</a>, an international cyber security company founded in 2002, published its <a href=\"http://www.imperva.com/docs/HII_Web_Application_Attack_Report_Ed6.pdf\">2015 web application attack report</a>. The report includes a thorough analysis of attack data obtained through its WAF or Web Application Firewall.</p>\n<p>In the report, Imperva&#8217;s application defense center group analyzed 297,954 attacks and 22,850,023 alerts on 198 of the applications it protects behind its WAF. The data is from January 1st, 2015 &#8211; June 30th, 2015 and provides a solid overview of the number and types of attacks web applications are experiencing.</p>\n<p>The report covers a lot of ground but for the purpose of this site, I&#8217;m focusing on WordPress.</p>\n<h2>Analysis Methodology</h2>\n<p>Automated tools recorded the web applications’ traffic and malicious events were documented in log files. Imperva&#8217;s application defense center group analyzed the data using special-purpose software and its knowledge base.</p>\n<p>You can find more information that explains how the data was analyzed on page seven of the report.</p>\n<h2>WordPress Is the Most Attacked CMS Application</h2>\n<p>Out of the 198 applications protected, Imperva identified 55 that are CMS-based, 20 WordPress applications, 11 Drupal, and 24 that are based on 11 other CMS frameworks.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/ImpervaAttackIncidentCMSAverage.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-48998\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-48998\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/ImpervaAttackIncidentCMSAverage.png?resize=875%2C470\" alt=\"Average Number of Incidents per Applications CMS Slice\" /></a>Average Number of Incidents per Applications CMS Slice\n<p>According to the report, CMS applications suffered an average of three times more attacks than non-CMS applications. WordPress applications suffered from 3,497 attacks in the reported period which is 250% more than non-CMS Applications. Note from the above image that spam attacks against WordPress outnumber all other types of attacks.</p>\n<p>Imperva says the attraction to CMS applications, especially WordPress is not new.</p>\n<blockquote><p>CMS frameworks have an open nature,  with open developer communities that generate a never-ending sequence of plug-ins and add-ons, with varying levels of security. This situation has led to corresponding never-ending flow of CMS vulnerabilities, with WordPress as the leading CMS taking the lead also in the amount of published attacks.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, the fact that WordPress and other CMS applications resemble each other facilitates automated scanning attacks that work effectively on all applications of this type with only minimal adjustments.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Varying levels of security in plugins have led to many vulnerabilities making WordPress the leader in the amount of published attacks.</p>\n<h2>Proportions of Attacks</h2>\n<p>Taking spam attacks out of the equation, the most popular attack type against WordPress applications is (RCE) Remote Command Execution with (RFI) Remote File Inclusion taking second place.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/ImpervaAttackTypeProportions.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-49000\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-49000\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/ImpervaAttackTypeProportions.png?resize=719%2C400\" alt=\"Proportion of Attack Types\" /></a>Proportion of Attack Types\n<ul>\n<li>Remote File Inclusion (RFI) is an attack that allows an attacker to include a remote file, usually through a script, on the web server. This attack can lead to data theft or manipulation, malicious code execution on the web server, or malicious code execution on the application client side such as JavaScript execution, which can lead to other attacks. This vulnerability occurs due to the use of user-supplied input without proper validation.</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Remote Command Execution (RCE) is an attack that allows the attacker to execute operating system commands in a system shell. The attack exploits applications that suffer from insufficient input validation in conjunction with passing this input to a system shell. The attacker’s payload is executed with the same privileges of the vulnerable application and can lead to full compromise of the server.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Even though the other monitored CMS applications are written in PHP, RFI attacks on WordPress are significantly higher than all other applications. Imperva offers one possible explanation:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Attackers don’t target a specific application, but start with scanning the Internet for vulnerable applications. A Low Hanging Fruit approach that is simple and effective for the detection of potential RFI targets, would be to run a WordPress test and mount an RFI attack in case of success.</p></blockquote>\n<p>The <a href=\"http://www.imperva.com/docs/HII_Web_Application_Attack_Report_Ed6.pdf\">report</a> goes on to show geographic attack trends, PHP vs non-PHP attack incidents, traffic volume, case studies, and more.</p>\n<h2>No Need to Panic</h2>\n<p>Even though it&#8217;s only six months of data, the results don&#8217;t surprise me. WordPress is <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/a-quarter-of-the-top-10-million-sites-ranked-by-alexa-use-wordpress\">used on a quarter of the top 10 million websites</a> ranked by Alexa so of course its going to be the most attacked CMS.</p>\n<p>The data in the report reinforces my belief that every public site online is likely being scanned or attacked multiple times a day. Unless you&#8217;re using a service or plugin that logs these types of attacks, its hard to know how popular of a target a site is.</p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re aware of a plugin or service that provides a user-friendly interface that shows and explains the attacks it&#8217;s protecting against a site, please send me a link in the comments.</p>\n<h2>Basic Security Principles</h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s imperative that you use a <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-factor_authentication\">strong password</a> and <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-factor_authentication\">two-factor authentication</a>. Consider using a service like <a href=\"https://getclef.com/\">Clef</a> that allows you to login to WordPress without a password. I also highly encourage you to read the <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-publishes-security-white-paper\">WordPress security whitepaper</a> to learn how WordPress protects itself against common attacks mentioned in Imperva&#8217;s report and how to responsibly disclose a WordPress security vulnerability.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 17 Nov 2015 02:11:51 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:15;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\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:\"WPTavern: WordPress Freelancer Adam Soucie on the Dangers of Accepting Credit Cards\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=48990\";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:93:\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-freelancer-adam-soucie-on-the-dangers-of-accepting-credit-cards\";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:2202:\"<p>If you&#8217;re running or opening a new WordPress business, you should read <a href=\"http://adamsoucie.com/chargebacks-the-dangers-of-accepting-credit-cards/\">Adam Soucie&#8217;s warning</a> on the dangers of accepting credit cards. Soucie, a WordPress Developer based in Orlando, Florida describes what happened after working with a client that claimed to be hearing disabled.</p>\n<p>Soucie went through the usual process of sending over a contract, bringing in a designer, discussing scope, and sending over an invoice. The client then claimed to be in the hospital and requested help to pay for one of the contractors involved in the project because he didn&#8217;t accept credit cards. According to Soucie, this should have been the red flag:</p>\n<blockquote><p>But I ignored it because I’ve also been a trusting person who is sympathetic to people with disabilities.  Plus I figured I had proof of everything, so I’d be protected.  I was so wrong.</p>\n<p>To make a long story short, the &#8216;client&#8217; was paying with stolen credit cards and the other contractor was in on the scam.  I discovered the scam when they started getting pushy about the contractor receiving his payments.  When leaving to make the final payment, I got a call from the person whose credit card info was stolen.  I reached out to my &#8216;client&#8217; and she had disappeared.</p></blockquote>\n<p>As the merchant, Soucie was liable for the transaction. After not receiving help from the FBI Cyber Crimes division and the credit card companies, QuickBooks, Soucie&#8217;s payment processor, went after him for the total amount of $10,000. He was able to get the amount slightly reduced after working with QuickBooks. What looked like an awesome project quickly turned into a nightmare.</p>\n<p>I highly encourage you to <a href=\"http://adamsoucie.com/chargebacks-the-dangers-of-accepting-credit-cards/\">read his article</a> as it includes tips to protect yourself and why you shouldn&#8217;t be too trusting.

Haskins was initially going to list the company on Flippa but after receiving advice from <a href=\"https://syedbalkhi.com/\">Syed Balkhi</a>, used <a href=\"http://feinternational.com/\">FE International</a> to facilitate the sale. FE International is composed of website brokers that do the heavy lifting to help businesses find buyers.</p>\n<p>An anonymous company based on the US East Coast without ties to the WordPress community is the new owner of Aesop Interactive LLC. Although terms of the deal are not public, Haskins confirms that he received close to his asking price of $100K.</p>\n<p>When Haskins put the company up for sale, he specified two conditions the new owner must follow.</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Aesop Story Engine MUST absolutely be maintained and kept free.</li>\n<li>Editus must continue forward with development, in some way shape or form.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>It&#8217;s unclear what the new owner&#8217;s plans are for Aesop Story Engine, Editus, and Story.AM.</p>\n<h2>Advice for Selling Your Company</h2>\n<p>The WordPress ecosystem is filled with thousands of companies from individuals to 50+ person agencies. Haskins offers the following advice for those thinking about selling their business, &#8220;Make sure that the books are buttoned up tight, because every check, every payment, every expense will be scrutinized and will ultimately determine what the appraisal price will be. Run a lean ship as the less overhead you have, the better.&#8221;</p>\n<p>During the appraisal process, Haskins had to account for and explain every check number written during the last few months. Although it was a lot of work on his end, he highly recommends using FE International as they manage the negotiating, contract writing, and appraisal processes.</p>\n<h2>What’s Next for Haskins?</h2>\n<p>Haskins isn&#8217;t giving up WordPress development as he continues to work with the software on a daily basis managing <a href=\"https://cgcookie.com/\">CGCookie</a>. When I asked what&#8217;s next in his WordPress journey, he replied, &#8220;Overall, there will be another project. It&#8217;s just that this chapter of the story is finished.

Launched in 2009 as a plugin called Site Monitor, the service has evolved over time to allow users to upgrade themes, plugins, and WordPress remotely. The service allows an unlimited amount of sites to be tracked for free.</p>\n<p>Human Made is not able to devote the time and resources necessary to maintain the service, even as it continues to do well. According to Tom Willmot, Co-founder and CEO of Human Made, the team backed out of the <a href=\"https://wpremote.com/2013/10/04/the-new-wpremote/\">premium version</a> of the service due to a lack of resources:</p>\n<blockquote><p>We had <a href=\"https://wpremote.com/blog/\">ambitious plans for a version 2</a>, we <a href=\"https://wpremote.com/2013/10/04/the-new-wpremote/\">introduced a premium version</a> that we backed out of because we didn’t have the resources to run and grow it, and we’ve got lots of great ideas both from its users and ourselves that we haven’t been able to act on. We’re too busy with other things, including Happytables, our client work, events, and more.</p></blockquote>\n<p>WP Remote has over 18K users with more than 96K sites monitored. Here are some other notable statistics:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>1,850 people logged in during the past 30 days.</li>\n<li>1,200 of those have more than five sites added to their account and 110 of them have more than 50 sites monitored.</li>\n<li>In the past 30 days WP Remote was used to perform over 20,000 plugin updates.</li>\n<li>Each week between 50 and 100 new users sign up and over half of them go on to add a site.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Although WP Remote converted 60 free users to its premium service, the company eliminated it due to the lack of internal resources to support, develop, and market it. WP Remote also has key relationships with web hosting companies such as, Pressable, BlueHost, and SiteGround.</p>\n<p>Before inquiring about purchasing the service, I recommend that you <a href=\"https://wpremote.com/2013/08/08/the-story-of-wp-remote/\">read the history</a> on how it was created.

The site launched earlier this year and has more than 170 plugins listed in the directory. Gliebe doesn&#8217;t have the time to manage the project anymore and is looking to give it to someone who is capable of maximizing the site&#8217;s potential.</p>\n<p>Since May of this year, commercial plugin developers have slowly added their products to the directory. Gliebe explains his original strategy for monetizing the site, &#8220;Build the directory up (get authors to list their plugins) in order to attract traffic (plugin buyers) then monetize it with display ads, affiliate links and/or sponsorships (not yet started).&#8221;</p>\n<p>Gliebe spends 1-2 hours per week managing the directory which includes, moderating submissions, moderating comments, moderating reviews, answering emails, and responding to tweets. He suggests that the new owner will need to spend more time marketing in order for the project to keep growing.</p>\n<p>One of the most interesting parts of the sale offer is where Gliebe explains what powers the site:</p>\n<blockquote><p>The site is powered by Easy Digital Downloads, the <a href=\"https://easydigitaldownloads.com/downloads/frontend-submissions/\" target=\"_blank\">Frontend Submissions</a> extension, the <a href=\"https://easydigitaldownloads.com/downloads/product-reviews/\" target=\"_blank\">Product Reviews</a> extension and Array’s <a href=\"https://arraythemes.com/themes/checkout-wordpress-theme/\" target=\"_blank\">Checkout</a> theme (using a child theme for customizations like showing categories on the homepage).</p></blockquote>\n<p>Looking at the analytics, the site is experiencing low traffic numbers compared to when the site was launched. However, organic search traffic is steadily rising thanks to the content published on the <a href=\"https://proplugindirectory.com/blog/\">site&#8217;s blog</a>.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/ProPluginTrafficStats.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-48925\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-48925\" src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/ProPluginTrafficStats.png?resize=814%2C1216\" alt=\"Pro Plugin Directory Traffic\" /></a>Pro Plugin Directory Traffic\n<p>Outside of Codecanyon, Pro Plugin Directory is one of the only other directories exclusively catered to commercial plugins. Here&#8217;s what Gliebe will give the buyer after purchasing the site:</p>\n<blockquote><p>The buyer will receive the domain, website files, database dump, mailing lists and Twitter account. Easy Digital Downloads add-on licenses and Checkout theme licenses will be transferred. You will need to purchase a new SSL certificate. I am looking for a capable buyer but if you require migration assistance or technical support after the sale, I will offer my services at $200/hour (five hours max).</p></blockquote>\n<p>Escrow will be used to facilitate the sale between both parties.

Any businessman, any executive could live almost anywhere on earth and still do his business through a device like this, and this is a wonderful thing, it means we won&#8217;t have to be stuck in cities, we can live out in the country or wherever we please, and still carry on complete interaction with human beings, as well as with other computers.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Wow, extremely prescient.

Only 1.25% of WordPress sites in the survey are hosted at WordPress.com.</p>\n<h2>The Fastest Growing CMS</h2>\n<p>The survey also shows that WordPress is still the fastest growing CMS, &#8220;Every 74 seconds a site within the top 10 million starts using WordPress. Compare this with Shopify, the second-fastest growing CMS, which is gaining a new site every 22 minutes,&#8221; Gelbmann says.</p>\n<p>When sites are broken down into languages, WordPress is used on 37.3% of English language sites. Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish sites are inbetween 38-40% while Bengali is 51.3% and 54.4% for Bosnian. Only 10.6% of WordPress sites are in Chinese with 6.9% for Korean.</p>\n<p>About 94% of sites surveyed use a Unix-like operating system such as Ubuntu. Windows servers host 6.2% of WordPress sites making it the most popular CMS running on Windows servers.</p>\n<p>Matt Mullenweg, Co-founder of the WordPress project, says the <a href=\"http://ma.tt/2015/11/seventy-five-to-go/\">largest opportunity for growth</a> is in the 57% of sites not using <em>any</em> identifiable CMS. Earlier this year, we learned that <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/how-important-is-jetpack-on-wordpress-road-to-50-market-share\">Jetpack is going to play a significant role</a> in WordPress gaining 50% or more of market share.</p>\n<p>In an <a href=\"http://kitchensinkwp.com/podcast-e048-interview-with-matt-mullenweg/\" target=\"_blank\">interview with Adam Silver on the KitchensinkWP podcast</a>, Mullenweg explains the path to 50% and beyond.</p>\n<blockquote><p>The next goal is the majority of websites. We want to get to 50%+ and there’s a lot of work between now and then. As the percentage increases, it gets harder and harder to grow the market share, and we have to grow the market share by doing things we haven’t done in the past – really thinking about the onboarding process, really thinking about the integration with social networks, and with how WordPress works on touch devices, which is going to be the predominant computing platform of the future. These things are going to be really important.</p>\n<p>What got us here isn’t going to get us there. Once we get to 50%, we can decide something new we want to do</p></blockquote>\n<p>Automattic is experimenting with a new side project called <a href=\"https://github.com/automattic/jetpack-onboarding\">Jetpack Onboarding</a>. The project is an attempt to improve WordPress&#8217; new user experience. Hosting companies that choose to implement it can modify, add, or remove steps.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/JetpackOnboardingScreen.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-48891\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-48891\" src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/JetpackOnboardingScreen.png?resize=1025%2C469\" alt=\"Jetpack Onboarding Screen\" /></a>Jetpack Onboarding Wizard\n<p>Keep in mind that W3Techs&#8217; market share numbers are based on the top 10 million sites in Alexa. Fifty percent market share is 5 million of those 10 million sites. Are these the sites WordPress should be targeting with development efforts? Are they more important than the millions of sites not ranked by Alexa? I don&#8217;t think so but only time will tell.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 10 Nov 2015 04:34:26 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:28;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\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:21:\"Matt: AVC On Tracking\";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:21:\"http://ma.tt/?p=45572\";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:37:\"http://ma.tt/2015/11/avc-on-tracking/\";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:524:\"<blockquote><p>If you listed the habits of successful people, tracking and measuring would be near the top of that list.

Communicating online is hard but where and how you communicate affects the likelihood of making an impact.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.cmscritic.com/\">CMS Critic</a> is a site I&#8217;ve read for years as it routinely publishes articles on a variety of content management systems, including WordPress.</p>\n<p>In late October, Kaya Ismail <a href=\"http://www.cmscritic.com/how-wordpress-needs-to-improve-itself/\">published an article</a> that describes how WordPress needs to improve itself in six ways. What could have been a great article, is instead a great example of <strong>how not to</strong> communicate grievances you have with WordPress.</p>\n<h2>Twenty Sixteen Developers Are Lazy</h2>\n<p>Many people, including myself <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/first-look-at-the-twenty-sixteen-default-wordpress-theme#comments\">have an opinion</a> of the Twenty Sixteen theme in WordPress 4.4. Ismail thinks the developers behind the theme are lazy.</p>\n<blockquote><p>I totally understand that WordPress doesn&#8217;t need to compete with the massive library of third-party themes available out there, but that doesn&#8217;t mean that they should lead with a default theme as bad as that. It&#8217;s nothing short of lazy.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Tammie Lister, Takashi Irie, and others continue to work hard on Twenty Sixteen to prepare it for the WordPress 4.4 release in December. They are far from lazy people making Ismail&#8217;s opinion more of an insult. He doesn&#8217;t provide any examples or ideas on what should be in a default theme.</p>\n<h2>The WordPress Plugin Directory</h2>\n<p>According to Ismail, the WordPress plugin directory is filled with large chunks of trash in addition to great plugins. While some plugins in the directory could be coded better, his explanation falls short of describing a solution.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Many plugins simply don&#8217;t work, while many more are poorly put together, which in turn makes WordPress as a platform harder to use. Quality control needs to improve.</p></blockquote>\n<p>He doesn&#8217;t link to plugins that are broken, provide any code samples, or show where quality control is lacking. His statement is an assumption that&#8217;s not backed by evidence.</p>\n<p>Those who <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/behind-the-scenes-in-the-wordpress-plugin-directory-with-mika-epstein\">oversee the plugin directory</a> don&#8217;t test every submitted plugin to make sure it works with WordPress. Among other things, their job is to make sure plugin submissions don&#8217;t have security issues. If the moderators performed quality control on every plugin, the submission queue would likely have a substantial backlog.</p>\n<p>Instead of writing baseless assumptions, Ismail should monitor the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/plugins/\">Make WordPress Plugins</a> site to stay on top of what&#8217;s going on with the plugin directory and submit feedback where necessary. If a broken plugin is discovered, he should create a forum thread within the plugin&#8217;s support area.</p>\n<p>This way, his feedback is seen by those who directly control the WordPress plugin directory. The simple act of reporting a broken plugin to the developer is a major step towards being part of the solution and not the problem.</p>\n<h2>Admin Menu Clutter</h2>\n<p>I agree with Ismail&#8217;s opinion that the WordPress admin menus can become cluttered if the right plugins are activated. At least in this case, he suggests an alternative.</p>\n<blockquote><p>I&#8217;d like to see WordPress group third-party menu options together, in a way that&#8217;s a little more organized and less intrusive. Perhaps this can be done by giving them a sub-section within the menu which can be collapsed. The solution itself is up to them, but the problem is evident.</p></blockquote>\n<p>There <a href=\"https://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Menus\">are guidelines</a> for when plugin developers should create top-level or sub-level menu items but they&#8217;re not followed as well as they could be. Without strictly enforcing these guidelines, it&#8217;s out of WordPress&#8217; hands. The complaint is aimed in the wrong direction and should point towards third-party developers, not WordPress itself.</p>\n<p>If you want more control in how items are displayed in the admin menu, I recommend using the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/menu-humility/\">Menu Humility</a> plugin by Mark Jaquith.</p>\n<h2>Akismet is Not Enough</h2>\n<p>According to Ismail, comment spam is a major issue with WordPress sites and Akismet doesn&#8217;t do enough to stop it.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Akismet, a spam comment filter, now comes with every WordPress install &#8211; which is a good thing. But the free version doesn&#8217;t do enough for me, as comments still pile up in the back end. If you ask me, WordPress needs to find another way to turn the unrelenting tide of spam.</p></blockquote>\n<p>To clarify, Akismet has been bundled with WordPress since <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2005/12/wp2/\">version 2.0</a> and there&#8217;s no difference between the free and commercial versions in how Akismet protects sites. He doesn&#8217;t provide any suggestions on what WordPress could do to thwart spam but says it has to do something.</p>\n<p>What are members of the WordPress core team supposed to do with this kind of feedback? It&#8217;s not helpful, doesn&#8217;t provide any ideas, and is easy to discard.</p>\n<h2>Updates are Hard</h2>\n<p>Depending on your webhost&#8217;s configuration, updating themes, plugins, and WordPress is as simple as clicking a button. For the more adventurous, you can configure them to happen automatically. For Ismail, the update process is difficult.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Updating a plugin may cause conflicts between it and another plugin. Updating a theme can erase your modifications (unless you use a child theme), whereas updating WordPress itself can render a variety of your plugins redundant until their developers apply a patch. Confused yet? You should be.</p></blockquote>\n<p>He makes a few good points but editing a theme instead of a child theme is like editing WordPress core files which should almost never happen. It&#8217;s true that there is a slight risk of <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/plugin-developers-demand-a-better-security-release-process-after-wordpress-4-2-3-breaks-thousands-of-websites\">things breaking</a> after an update but it&#8217;s more of an anomaly than a common occurrence.</p>\n<p>Ismail suggests that WordPress look into preserving theme changes across the board and to provide alerts if  plugins interfere with each other. I like these suggestions and my hope is that one day, WordPress will be able to create a snapshot during the update process to provide assurance that the site won&#8217;t break after an update is applied.</p>\n<h2>WordPress Hack-a-thon</h2>\n<p>Ismail&#8217;s last point is how WordPress can improve its security.</p>\n<blockquote><p>I think we can all agree that WordPress needs to beef itself up (by shoring up its admin login page, for example), but I call for it to go a step further and start offering better protection, even if it comes at a small price.</p>\n<p>Third party solutions exist, sure. But why should I have to patch together several security plugins, each with their own confusing settings, just to secure my website? Many WordPress users have become accustom to handling their own security in this way; but I think WordPress needs to take on more responsibility.</p></blockquote>\n<p>He wants WordPress to go a step further and offer better protection but doesn&#8217;t say what that protection is. He also doesn&#8217;t explain where, how, or why WordPress should take on more responsibility to make sites more secure.</p>\n<h2>Be Part of the Solution, Not the Problem</h2>\n<p>Ismail concludes his article by saying it&#8217;s time for WordPress to innovate. He also says, &#8220;The onus isn&#8217;t on me to provide the solution, it&#8217;s upon WordPress. And it&#8217;s about time they started coming up with innovative solutions for their long-standing issues.&#8221;</p>\n<p>The article is <a href=\"https://www.cmscritic.com/wordpress-4.4-beta-bare-bones/\">another example</a> of how CMS Critic chooses not to be part of the solution. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but airing grievances which sound more like demands and telling core developers to start innovating is not a recipe for results.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2013/05/contributing-to-wordpress/\">This quote</a> from WordPress core developer, Mark Jaquith, eloquently describes how important communication skills are in an open source project.</p>\n<blockquote><p>The number one skill you need for just about any job, but specifically working on open source, is communication skills. You need to have clarity, consistency, compassion, relatability, a little bit of a thick skin and a decent sense of humor.</p></blockquote>\n<p>The onus may not be on Ismail or any of us to come up with solutions, but he and others can help discover and be part of solutions by taking an active role in giving constructive feedback in <a href=\"http://hughlashbrooke.com/2015/11/03/a-non-developers-guide-to-getting-involved-in-wordpress-core-development/\">the right place</a>.

In WordPress 4.4, it switches roles and is an oEmbed provider.</p>\n<p>Proposed by Pascal Birchler <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/09/30/feature-plugin-merge-proposal-oembed/\">earlier this year</a>, oEmbeds for posts streamlines how they&#8217;re shared across the web. Here&#8217;s an example of what an oEmbedded post looks like.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Content is displayed in an iFrame with a link to comments, a sharing button, and a link to the main page the article is hosted on. The continue reading link takes visitors to the source site. In the last three months, Birchler and members of the core team have worked hard to make sure embedded content is secure.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>The iFrames use the <a href=\"https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/iframe#Attributes\">sandbox attribute</a> to enable extra restrictions on content that can appear in the inline frame.</li>\n<li>The host and the embedded site communicate via postMessage to allow resizing and clicking on links safely</li>\n</ul>\n<p>oEmbed discovery is turned on by default in WordPress 4.4. Too disable it, you&#8217;ll need install and activate the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-embeds/\">Disable Embeds</a> plugin. The plugin does the following:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Prevents others from embedding your site.</li>\n<li>Prevents you from embedding other non-whitelisted sites.</li>\n<li>Disables all JavaScript</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Some people <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/10/28/new-embeds-feature-in-wordpress-4-4/#comment-28263\">are requesting</a> that an option be added to disable oEmbeds rather than installing a plugin. In response to requests, Aaron Jorbin, WordPress core contributor, reemphasized <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/about/philosophy/#decisions\">WordPress&#8217; philosophy</a> on adding options.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Every time you give a user an option, you are asking them to make a decision. When a user doesn’t care or understand the option this ultimately leads to frustration. As developers we sometimes feel that providing options for everything is a good thing, you can never have too many choices, right?</p>\n<p>Ultimately these choices end up being technical ones, choices that the average end-user has no interest in. It’s our duty as developers to make smart design decisions and avoid putting the weight of technical choices on our end users.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Birchler also responded saying, &#8220;The new embed functionality was developed with the majority of users in mind.&#8221; One of the largest problems with adding to options to WordPress is that they&#8217;re difficult to remove.</p>\n<p>Some WordPress developers are excited to see how post embeds can be extended. <a href=\"http://hughlashbrooke.com/\">Hugh Lashbrooke</a>, who works for Automattic, thinks post embeds will be great for Custom Post Types, &#8220;I think the oEmbed feature has loads of awesome use cases for Custom Post Types. For example, being able to embed eCommerce products on other sites with dynamic add to cart links,&#8221; he said.</p>\n<p>The easiest way to try post embeds is to log into <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/test-new-wordpress-features-without-installing-anything-via-trywpbeta\">TryWPBeta</a> using these credentials.</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Username</strong>: wcpdx</li>\n<li><strong>Password</strong>: wcpdx15</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Create a new post and make sure the visual editor is selected.

Joe McGill, who is helping to merge the feature to core, joined me for a thirty minute interview to explain how it works.</p>\n<p>When users upload images in WordPress, it automatically crops new images to smaller sizes. For example, if you upload an image that&#8217;s 1500 x 706, the image sizes might look like this:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Full Size &#8211; 1500 x 706</li>\n<li>Large &#8211; 500 x 235</li>\n<li>Medium &#8211; 300 x 141</li>\n<li>Thumbnail &#8211; 150 x 150</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Additional sizes are created depending on the theme. If the full size image is attached to a post, users on desktop and mobile devices will see the full size image. However, it doesn&#8217;t make sense to use the full size image on mobile devices because of its display and file size.</p>\n<p>Responsive images in WordPress 4.4 adds <code>srcset</code>&nbsp;and <code>sizes</code> support to WordPress. This allows the software to automatically use and display the right image based on a device&#8217;s screen size. If I attach a full size 1500 x 706 image to a post in WordPress 4.4, mobile devices will see the large or medium-sized image instead.</p>\n<p>Responsive images don&#8217;t have any settings to configure as the magic happens behind the scenes. I encourage you to listen to the interview as it may be easier to understand listening to us talk through the feature.</p>\n<div class=\"audio-shortcode-wrap\"><img src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/ResponsiveImagesinWordPress.png?resize=175%2C131\" alt=\"Responsive Images in WordPress\" class=\"landscape thumbnail post-thumbnail audio-image\" /><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement(\'audio\');</script><![endif]-->\n<a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Joe-McGill-Explains-Responsive-Images-in-WordPress.mp3\">http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Joe-McGill-Explains-Responsive-Images-in-WordPress.mp3</a></div><div class=\"media-shortcode-extend\"><div class=\"media-info audio-info\"><ul class=\"media-meta\"><li><span class=\"prep\">Run Time</span> <span class=\"data\">26:50</span></li><li><span class=\"prep\">Artist</span> <span class=\"data\">Jeff Chandler</span></li><li><span class=\"prep\">File Name</span> <span class=\"data\"><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Joe-McGill-Explains-Responsive-Images-in-WordPress.mp3\">Joe-McGill-Explains-Responsive-Images-in-WordPress.mp3</a></span></li><li><span class=\"prep\">File Size</span> <span class=\"data\">12.09 MB</span></li><li><span class=\"prep\">File Type</span> <span class=\"data\">MP3</span></li><li><span class=\"prep\">Mime Type</span> <span class=\"data\">audio/mpeg</span></li></ul></div><button class=\"media-info-toggle\">Audio Info</button></div>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 29 Oct 2015 00:43:12 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:45;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\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:76:\"WPTavern: The WordPress Theme Directory No Longer Counts Automated Downloads\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=48766\";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:86:\"http://wptavern.com/the-wordpress-theme-directory-no-longer-counts-automated-downloads\";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:5745:\"<p>The <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/themes/browse/popular/\">popular themes page</a> on the WordPress theme directory usually displays a mix of default themes and those that meet a certain criteria. While the criteria to reach the page is not publicly known, download counts are one form of measurement.</p>\n<p>Since September, the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/themes/swift/\">Swift theme</a> has routinely shown up on the popular themes page. According to download stats, Swift was downloaded between, 2,000 to 3,500 times a day in September and early October.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/SwiftThemeDownloadNumbers.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-48767\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/SwiftThemeDownloadNumbers.png?resize=665%2C500\" alt=\"Swift Download Count\" /></a>Swift Download Count\n<p>However, the stats drop off abruptly on October 15th and have yet to reach previous levels. On October 18th, a few members inside the Theme Review Team Slack channel <a href=\"https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/themereview/p1445155458000095\">shared suspicions</a> that something was not right with Swift&#8217;s download stats.</p>\n<p>Ionut Neagu discovered that Swift does not appear on the <a href=\"https://garage.godaddy.com/top-100-wordpress-themes/\">GoDaddy Hot 100</a> while other themes on the popular page do. While not conclusive, the evidence points towards some sort of anomaly.</p>\n<p>Samuel &#8216;Otto&#8217; Wood, who helps maintain WordPress.org <a href=\"https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/themereview/p1445180169000105\">looked at the raw</a> data for Swift and discovered that a lot of the downloads appeared to be automated.</p>\n<blockquote><p>The swift theme is indeed getting an exceptional number of downloads, so I took a closer look at the raw data. It appears that a lot of these downloads are automated in some way. However, there&#8217;s no evidence that it is malicious, nor does the pattern apply only to the swift theme. Perhaps it is included in some installer system that auto-downloads themes for newly installed sites. It&#8217;s hard to say.</p>\n<p>In any case, I made a way to detect and block these types of automated downloads from appearing in the stats, and retroactively applied it for the last three days of data (which is all we retain). Going forward, automated downloads will not appear as downloads and will not affect the popular listings.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Once the changes were implemented, Swift&#8217;s download stats significantly decreased. The changes also apply to all other themes hosted on the directory. Otto declined to comment on the specific changes made but tells the Tavern, &#8220;If we can detect a case where downloads aren&#8217;t being made by users, then we will try not to count it in the results.&#8221;</p>\n<h2>Swift’s Side of the Story</h2>\n<p>Satish Gandham, founder of <a href=\"https://swiftthemes.com/\">Swiftthemes</a>, explains what Swift has gone through the last few weeks which may account for the high download numbers, &#8220;Swift was featured for a couple of days and we spent money on Facebook ads to promote the free version. Also, there were a couple of hosted WordPress providers who asked permission to include Swift on their platform.</p>\n<p>&#8220;The premium version of Swift also had the same slug URL as the free version. The WordPress theme directory saw v7.2.48 to be higher than 7.2.6 and premium users downgraded to the free version thinking it was an upgrade. It was a support nightmare,&#8221; Gandham tells the Tavern.</p>\n<p>Swift&#8217;s <a href=\"https://swiftthemes.com/forums/topic/how-to-returning-to-version-7-2-6/\">support forums</a> confirm that some customers of the commercial version were automatically updated to the free version in early August.</p>\n<h2>Download Counts are Almost Irrelevant</h2>\n<p>When the <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-plugin-directory-launches-new-design\">plugin directory was redesigned</a> earlier this year, download counts were removed in favor of active installs. Active installs are more accurate and difficult to manipulate. On the other hand, when the <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-theme-directory-launches-new-design\">theme directory was redesigned</a>, download counts remained.</p>\n<p>It&#8217;s possible that the theme directory will one day show active installs but the data gathering aspect is not ready yet. Also, the numbers are lower for themes than for plugins, which may lead to incorrect conclusions in regards to relative popularity.</p>\n<h2>It Happens More Than You Might Think</h2>\n<p>In this particular instance, there&#8217;s no evidence that points to a malicious intent to inflate stats to manipulate the popular themes page. In the years I&#8217;ve written about WordPress, I&#8217;ve heard rumors that certain plugins and themes automate their download counts to appear more popular than they really are. However, I&#8217;ve yet to write about a theme or plugin caught in the act.</p>\n<p>According to Otto, it happens more often than you might think. When he or other volunteer moderators for the plugin and theme directories notice fishy download counts, they contact the author and the process usually stops. If it continues, the author risks having their themes and plugins suspended or banned from the directory.</p>\n<p>If you notice suspicious activity with a theme hosted on WordPress.org, you can voice your concern in the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/chat/\">Theme Review Slack</a> channel during non-meeting times.

That&#8217;s because the <a href=\"https://managewp.com/developer-diary-9-managewp-orion-is-out\">company released Orion</a>, a completely redesigned dashboard for managing sites.</p>\n<p>To give users a chance to alter workflows and explore the Orion dashboard, ManageWP linked the original dashboard to Orion. Actions performed in one dashboard are mirrored to the other. Users can switch between the two with the click of a button.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/ManageWPOrianOldNew.gif\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-48757\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/ManageWPOrianOldNew.gif?resize=638%2C512\" alt=\"ManageWP Dashboard Compared to Orion\" /></a>ManageWP Dashboard Compared to Orion\n<p>Users can now sort sites by tags and clients in addition to groups. Websites can be assigned to clients while tags can describe whether a site is in development or live. Each site can up to five tags and one client.</p>\n<p>Unlike the native dashboard, Orion uses Angular.js which allows users to run asynchronous calls. For example, you can run more than one command why performing other tasks.</p>\n<p>One distinct difference between both dashboards is the way backups are generated. ManageWP backups and Orion backups are <a href=\"https://managewp.com/managewp-orion-developer-diary-3-bulletproof-backup-solution\">completely different</a> from each other. However, you can use both at the same time.</p>\n<p>The company says Orion comes with essential features but additional features will be completed and added by February of 2016 which is also when Orion will become the default dashboard. WordPress Multisite is not supported as the company cites it as a major undertaking and doesn&#8217;t consider it a high priority.</p>\n<p>The new dashboard contains more features than what&#8217;s listed here. I encourage you to read the <a href=\"https://managewp.com/developer-diary-9-managewp-orion-is-out\">official announcement</a> and if you&#8217;re a customer, to explore Orion as it will soon be the default experience to managing sites. If you&#8217;re a ManageWP customer, let us know what you think of the new dashboard design.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 27 Oct 2015 18:09:23 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:48;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\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:97:\"WPTavern: How to Prepare and Take Advantage of Language Packs for Plugins Hosted on WordPress.org\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=48727\";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:107:\"http://wptavern.com/how-to-prepare-and-take-advantage-of-language-packs-for-plugins-hosted-on-wordpress-org\";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:15607:\"<hr />\n<p>This is a guest post contributed by <a href=\"https://mpswp.wordpress.com/\">Matthew Sparrow</a> who is a young, self-taught developer with minimal coding knowledge that loves to use WordPress. He mostly uses WordPress for personal projects although he has completed a couple of projects for others. In addition to <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/kidsguide/\">maintaining a few plugins</a>, he&#8217;s an active translations contributor.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Automatic translations for plugins have been a long time coming. WordPress itself already auto-downloads and auto-updates core translations, so it is a natural progression that plugins and themes will receive the same treatment.</p>\n<p>For those who have been following auto plugin translations, it has <a href=\"http://ottopress.com/2013/language-packs-101-prepwork/\">been in the works for years</a>. It came as a welcome surprise in September when it was announced that plugins will <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/plugins/2015/09/01/plugin-translations-on-wordpress-org/\">finally be able to have language packs</a>.</p>\n<p>If you have a plugin in the WordPress.org directory, then this is important, welcome, and exciting news. However, as great as an initiative as language packs are for plugins, it <em>seems</em> simpler than it actually is.</p>\n<p>If you are a plugin developer, you have to go through a few steps in order to get this to work for your plugins. So let’s get started.</p>\n<h2 class=\"font-headlines\">Should You Be Excited About Plugin Language Packs?</h2>\n<p>As a plugin author, I&#8217;m really excited about the new translation system, and so should you. The <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/\">Polyglots team</a> is making it so that you no longer have to include all of your <code>.mo</code> and <code>.po</code> files directly in your plugin. Instead, they will be hosted on WordPress.org.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/screenshot-1.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48731\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/screenshot-1.png?resize=582%2C575\" alt=\"screenshot-1\" /></a>The ideal scenario is when a user selects their language (either through a new WordPress install or through <code>Settings &gt; General</code>), the language pack for your plugin will be automatically installed and kept updated.</p>\n<p>This new system accomplishes a few things:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Plugin files are smaller. There&#8217;s no need to include translation files with your plugin.</li>\n<li>Plugin authors no longer need to manage translations/translators.</li>\n<li>End users are automatically able to see a plugin in their own language assuming a translation has already been created for their locale.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2 class=\"font-headlines\">How to Prepare for Plugin Language Packs</h2>\n<p>Before we jump into translating plugins, you first need to prepare your plugin for it to work with the new translation setup.</p>\n<p>In order for you to get your plugin prepared to be moved over to the new system, you need to change your text domain to exactly match your WordPress plugin slug. An important reminder is that even if you have changed your plugin&#8217;s name (as <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/\">Yoast SEO</a> recently did), the slug does not change. For a more in-depth discussion and tutorial, please follow Otto&#8217;s great post on <a href=\"http://ottopress.com/2013/language-packs-101-prepwork/\">language pack prepwork</a>.</p>\n<p>You are still welcome to include translation files in your plugin, even with language packs enabled. Translation files in your plugin take priority, and if those aren&#8217;t present, that&#8217;s where language packs come in.</p>\n<p>When you are preparing your plugin for language packs, it is important to note that you should avoid removing translation files from your plugin. If you do so, and your plugin is selected for language packs, your existing translations will not be automatically moved over to the new system.</p>\n<p>Do your best to keep your translation files with your plugin until the Polyglots team has informed you that your plugin is ready for language packs.</p>\n<h2 class=\"font-headlines\">Wait to Receive the Official Notice</h2>\n<p>The Polyglot team is preparing the plugins in stages to avoid any major hiccups. Assuming your WordPress.org email is up-to-date, you will receive an email when your plugin is ready.</p>\n<p>You may be wondering how long it takes before the team reaches your plugin. There are 40,000+ plugins on WordPress.org, so it is not a quick process. WordPress is preparing plugins in batches according to the amount of active installs each plugin has.</p>\n<p>If your plugin has over 30,000+ active installs, then chances are you are on the new system, although I&#8217;ve seen plugins with 10,000+ active installs also be approved.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, there is no way to make the process quicker. Please practice patience and eventually your turn will come.</p>\n<h2 class=\"font-headlines\">You’ve Received the E-Mail That Your Plugin Is Ready</h2>\n<p>So you finally receive the email saying that your plugin is going to be uploaded with language pack support. Awesome! This is what the email that I received looks like. Note that I&#8217;m using one of my approved plugins as an example.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Howdy!<br />\n​<br />\nWe&#8217;re emailing you because you&#8217;re an author for the following plugin on WordPress.org:<br />\n​<br />\n* Easy Updates Manager : https://wordpress.org/plugins/stops-core-theme-and-plugin-updates/<br />\n​<br />\nNext week, we intend to import the plugin listed above into the translate.wordpress.org translation system. Language packs will also be enabled for your plugin, for any locales that are fully translated (at 100%).<br />\n​<br />\nAs part of this process, all of the strings in your plugin will be imported into translate.wordpress.org. Additionally, any language files that you ship with your plugin (&#8216;mo&#8217; files) will be imported and synced with their respective locales within translate.wordpress.org.<br />\n​<br />\nNo strings in your plugin? Plugin translations include the ability to translate the readme and display these translations in the localized WordPress.org plugin directories.</p>\n<p>If you have prepared your plugin already then this notice is of no real importance. If you have not yet prepared your plugin and you have received the notice then you need to prepare your plugin ASAP. If you don’t prepare your plugin then… well… I don’t really know, but it won’t be good. So go and prepare your plugin if you have not yet done so.<br />\n&#8230;</p></blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"font-headlines\">Your Plugin Is Semi-Ready for Language Packs. Now What?</h2>\n<p><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/screenshot-22.png\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-48741 size-full\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/screenshot-22.png?resize=291%2C321\" alt=\"screenshot-22\" /></a>A week or so after you receive the notice, your plugin and its translations are moved to <a href=\"https://translate.wordpress.org\">translate.wordpress.org</a>. You will likely not receive a notice when your plugin is moved.</p>\n<p>To find out if it&#8217;s been uploaded, visit your plugin&#8217;s WordPress.org page where you should see a translations section in the right sidebar. Click the <strong>Translate Plugin Name </strong>button<strong>.</strong> If you are brought to a page that looks like the one below then your plugin is uploaded and is ready to be translated.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/screenshot-3.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48734\" src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/screenshot-3.png?resize=954%2C611\" alt=\"screenshot-3\" /></a>If you see a page that looks different from this (i.e., a Not Found error), your plugin is not yet ready.</p>\n<p>Assuming you&#8217;ve received the e-mail, your plugin is ready, and you&#8217;ve waited a reasonable amount of time, you should be good to go as far as preparing your plugin.</p>\n<p>If it has been over two weeks and your plugin has not yet been uploaded, you should contact the Polyglot team <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/\">on their blog</a>, or in the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/chat/\">#polyglots channel on WordPress Slack</a>. Please exercise extreme patience as the process can take a week or sometimes even two.</p>\n<h2 class=\"font-headlines\">Removing Your Translation Files From Your Plugin</h2>\n<p>Now that your plugin is uploaded to the system, you can safely remove the translation files from your plugin. If you don’t have any <code>.mo</code> and <code>.po</code> files in your plugin, then you can skip this step.</p>\n<p>One thing to note: You may not want to remove your translation files if your plugin does not have any translations on <a href=\"https://translate.wordpress.org/\">translate.wordpress.org</a> or translations are not 100% complete.</p>\n<h2 class=\"font-headlines\">Making Your Plugin Translatable</h2>\n<p>With all of that stuff out-of-the-way, it’s time to focus on translating your plugin. This is where it can get confusing but try to stick with me.</p>\n<p>By default, you cannot submit translations for your plugin in any language. Because of this, you need to ask the Polyglots team to add you as a translator for your plugin. You can do so by heading over to the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/\">Polyglots blog</a> and ask them. To make it easier they came up with a template of <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/rosetta/theme-plugin-directories/#sample-post\">what to say</a>.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Hello Polyglots!</p>\n<p>I am the plugin author for [plugin-name and link to plugin directory]. We have a number of great translation editors that we’d like to be able to approve translation for our plugin(s). Please add the following WordPress.org users as translation editors for their respective locales:<br />\no #ar – @username<br />\no #bn – @username, @username<br />\no #da – @username<br />\no #de-ch – @username<br />\netc…</p>\n<p>If you have any questions, just comment here. Thank you!</p></blockquote>\n<p>Ideally, the above will include requests for multiple plugins, but as plugins are being rolled out slowly, it&#8217;s acceptable at the moment to include one request per plugin.</p>\n<p>Make sure that you use WordPress.org usernames and that the user is still active. If you are wondering what languages there are, you can visit <a href=\"https://translate.wordpress.org/\">https://translate.wordpress.org/</a> and scroll through the different languages that WordPress supports.</p>\n<p>Please only ask to be added as a translator for the languages you know. You will not be approved if you are not a native speaker for a language.</p>\n<p>At this point, again, patience is needed. The Polyglot team will receive your request and will work through it. If your post doesn&#8217;t show up right away, it&#8217;s because first-time posters are moderated.</p>\n<p>In a week or two, the translators you requested should be added to your plugin. If there are any issues, a Polyglot member will comment on your request with any difficulties encountered or notify you that they have approved your request.</p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll know when you are added when you see new badges appear on your WordPress.org profile page. One is a translation editor badge and the other is a translation contributor badge.</p>\n<h2><a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/screenshot-4.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48735\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/screenshot-4.png?resize=601%2C322\" alt=\"screenshot-4\" /></a>How Do I Translate?</h2>\n<p>First, visit <a href=\"https://translate.wordpress.org/\">https://translate.wordpress.org/</a>, select your language, then click the plugins tab. Search for your plugin and then click the translate project button. You&#8217;ll be brought to a page that looks like the one below. This page is where you can translate your plugin. In this case, my plugin is already translated in the language that I selected.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/screenshot-5.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48736\" src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/screenshot-5.png?resize=957%2C587\" alt=\"screenshot-5\" /></a>On this table, there are four separate things to translate. Trunk, the stable release (version), and the <code>readme.txt</code> variations. In order for language packs to work, <em>you need to translate all four versions</em>.</p>\n<p>To translate, click on one of the sub-projects. This takes you to the translation page. Here, you can see all of the different strings that need to be translated in your plugin. You can edit a string by clicking the details button, translating it in the text editor, and then clicking the <strong>add translations</strong> button.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/screenshot-6.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48737\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/screenshot-6.png?resize=947%2C561\" alt=\"screenshot-6\" /></a>Even if you&#8217;re not added as an editor for a language, you can still translate a plugin. The only difference is instead of adding the translations directly, you can only request that it be changed. Someone from the Polyglots team will need review and approve your translation suggestions.</p>\n<h2 class=\"font-headlines\">Once Your Translations Are Ready</h2>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve finished translating a language completely, it will be available for people to use. However, it doesn’t become available immediately. It can take one to three days for a translation to be available once you finish it. Again, exercise patience.</p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll know when the translation is available when you see it in the translation section on your WordPress.org plugin&#8217;s page. For example, you can see what it looks like in the picture below.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/screenshot-7.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48744\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/screenshot-7.png?resize=447%2C377\" alt=\"screenshot-7\" /></a>Also, you&#8217;ll know it&#8217;s working if you go into a website (preferably not a live website), download your plugin, and select the language that you want to test in <strong>Settings &gt; General</strong>.</p>\n<h2 class=\"font-headlines\">Plugin Language Packs Are Here to Stay</h2>\n<p>Getting language packs to work properly in WordPress plugins is not exactly a straightforward process, which is precisely why plugins are being rolled out slowly.</p>\n<p>Please remember that everyone is a volunteer, from the Polyglots team, to translators, and to the plugin authors.

However, he also cites a third way to test WordPress via <a href=\"http://wcpdx.trywpbeta.com/\">TryWPBeta.com</a>.</p>\n<p> \n<div> <strong> <a href=\"https://www.slideshare.net/DrewAPicture/trying-out-tomorrows-wordpress-today\" title=\"Trying Out Tomorrow’s WordPress Today\" target=\"_blank\">Trying Out Tomorrow’s WordPress Today</a> </strong> from <strong><a href=\"http://www.slideshare.net/DrewAPicture\" target=\"_blank\">DrewAPicture</a></strong> </div>\n<p>TryWPBeta is a locked down, vanilla install of WordPress trunk using Multisite. To login to the site, use the following credentials.</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Username</strong>: wcpdx</li>\n<li><strong>Password</strong>: wcpdx15</li>\n</ul>\n<p>I asked Jaynes what inspired him to create the site, &#8220;The inspiration for TryWPBeta is to actually have a place for core contributors to test patches on mobile devices, because setting up a tunnel to a local development setup is difficult and a high barrier for a lot of people.&#8221;</p>\n<p>The idea is to make it possible to spin up a site using trunk (Bleeding edge version of WordPress), apply a specific patch and then freeze it in time so that we can point people there to test on mobile devices,&#8221; Jaynes told the Tavern.</p>\n<p>While you can&#8217;t install themes and plugins yet, the site gives users an opportunity to test new features without worrying about breaking the site. Thanks to TryWPBeta, I was able to test the new <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/34903\">Post oEmbed feature</a> in 4.4.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/TestingPostoEmbeds.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-48714\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/TestingPostoEmbeds.png?resize=1025%2C458\" alt=\"Testing oEmbeds of Posts\" /></a>Testing oEmbeds of Posts\n<p>Jaynes started the project at 10up&#8217;s company summit. So far, Scott Reilly, John Blackbourn, Zach Brown, Morgan Estes, and Chris Weigman have contributed to the project. The site is hosted on a DigitalOcean droplet and updates hourly. He stresses that the site is a work in progress and not quite ready for prime time, &#8220;There’s a couple features I’d like to add to make it more robust first,&#8221; Jaynes said.</p>\n<p>Unlike <a href=\"https://demo.joomla.org/\">Joomla</a>, WordPress doesn&#8217;t have a dedicated demo site for users to test drive the software. While I like the idea behind TryWPBeta, there are a few things I&#8217;d like to see added to make it more useful. For instance, a list of items to test that users can check off. Also, an easy way to provide feedback on the listed items that is sent to a place where core developers will read it.</p>\n<p>Ultimately, I&#8217;d like to see the WordPress Beta Testing plugin extended to have the features I mentioned above. Between the communication challenges and setting up the environment, the beta testing process in WordPress is not as easy and streamlined as it could be. What ideas do you have that would help increase the testing audience and make the process easier?</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 27 Oct 2015 00:37:45 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}s:4:\"type\";i:128;s:7:\"headers\";a:10:{s:6:\"server\";s:5:\"nginx\";s:4:\"date\";s:29:\"Sat, 28 Nov 2015 17:49:10 GMT\";s:12:\"content-type\";s:8:\"text/xml\";s:14:\"content-length\";s:6:\"217557\";s:10:\"connection\";s:5:\"close\";s:4:\"vary\";s:15:\"Accept-Encoding\";s:13:\"last-modified\";s:29:\"Sat, 28 Nov 2015 17:45:24 GMT\";s:15:\"x-frame-options\";s:10:\"SAMEORIGIN\";s:4:\"x-nc\";s:11:\"HIT lax 249\";s:13:\"accept-ranges\";s:5:\"bytes\";}s:5:\"build\";s:14:\"20150516211916\";}','no'),('40236','_transient_timeout_feed_mod_d117b5738fbd35bd8c0391cda1f2b5d9','1448776151','no'),('40237','_transient_feed_mod_d117b5738fbd35bd8c0391cda1f2b5d9','1448732951','no'),('40238','_transient_timeout_feed_b9388c83948825c1edaef0d856b7b109','1448776151','no'),
