The challenge for this month overall is to work with at least one hour worth of WordCamp video, which you can do by either creating subtitles or editing the video file in preparation for upload to <a href=\"http://WordPress.tv\">WordPress.tv</a>.</p>\n<p>One of the great things about contributing to the video team is that you get to learn so much, since all the work basically involves watching WordCamp presentation videos. Subtitling is a doubly important need, as it is needed to make all those WordCamp videos accessible to people who are deaf or hard of hearing and can&#8217;t listen to the audio track, as well as making it possible for the videos to be consumed (in some cases after subtitle translation) by people who speak different languages.</p>\n<p>The challenge will last from Saturday, February 27, 2016 through Sunday, February 28, 2016, and the results will be reviewed afterward by members of the video team.

That challenge had 73 participants, including 10 people who provided 20 or more correct answers to open support threads, thereby winning the challenge. Congratulations to Harris Anastasiadis, Ahmad Awais, Takis Bouyouris, Phil Erb, Eric Gunawan, Jackie McBride, Diana Nichols, Kostas Nicolacopoulos, Juhi Saxena, and Sarah Semark! To them and to everyone else who participated, thank you <strong>so much</strong> for your efforts. Every answer helps, and over the course of this contributor weekend, these amazing volunteers responded to <strong>800 support threads</strong>.

Sometimes people don&#8217;t realize that WordCamps are organized by local volunteers rather than a central organization, and they contact us asking, &#8220;Can you bring WordCamp to my city?&#8221; When this happens, we always suggest they start with a meetup group, and think about organizing a WordCamp themselves after their group has been active for a few months. We emphasize that WordCamps are locally-organized events, not something that the central <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community\">community team</a> plans from afar.</p>\n<p>This has been successful in many areas &#8212; there are currently 241 meetup groups on our meetup.com chapter program! In some regions, though, enthusiastic volunteers have had more of a challenge getting things started. Because of this, we&#8217;re going to try an experiment this year called the WordCamp Incubator.</p>\n<p>The intention of the incubator program is to help spread WordPress to underserved areas through providing more significant organizing support for a first event. In practical terms, this experiment means we&#8217;ll be choosing three cities in 2016 where there is not an active WordPress community &#8212; but where it seems like there is a lot of potential and where there are some people excited to become organizers &#8212; and will help to organize their first WordCamp. These WordCamps will be small, one-day, one-track events geared toward the goal of generating interest and getting people involved in creating an ongoing local community.*</p>\n<p>So, where should we do these three events?  If you have always wanted a WordCamp in your city but haven&#8217;t been able to get a meetup group going, this is a great opportunity. We will be taking applications for the next week, then will get in touch with everyone who applied to discuss the possibilities. We will announce the  cities chosen by the end of March.</p>\n<p>To apply, <a href=\"http://wordpressdotorg.polldaddy.com/s/wordcamp-incubator-application\">fill in the application</a> by February 26, 2016. You don&#8217;t need to have any specific information handy, it&#8217;s just a form to let us know you&#8217;re interested. You can apply to nominate your city even if you don&#8217;t want to be the main organizer, but for this experiment  we will need local liaisons and volunteers, so please only nominate cities where you live or work so that we have at least one local connection to begin.</p>\n<p>Thanks, and good luck!</p>\n<p><em><strong>* </strong>For the record, that describes the ideal first WordCamp even if you have an active meetup &#8212; there&#8217;s no need to wait until your group is big enough to support a large multi-day event, and small events are a lot of fun because everyone has a chance to be involved and get to know most of the other attendees.</em></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</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: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:32:\"https://wordpress.org/news/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:10:{s:6:\"server\";s:5:\"nginx\";s:4:\"date\";s:29:\"Tue, 26 Apr 2016 17:31:25 GMT\";s:12:\"content-type\";s:34:\"application/rss+xml; charset=UTF-8\";s:10:\"connection\";s:5:\"close\";s:25:\"strict-transport-security\";s:11:\"max-age=360\";s:6:\"x-olaf\";s:3:\"⛄\";s:13:\"last-modified\";s:29:\"Wed, 13 Apr 2016 11:26:18 GMT\";s:4:\"link\";s:63:\"<https://wordpress.org/news/wp-json/>; rel=\"https://api.w.org/\"\";s:15:\"x-frame-options\";s:10:\"SAMEORIGIN\";s:4:\"x-nc\";s:11:\"HIT lax 250\";}s:5:\"build\";s:14:\"20130911010210\";}','no'),

The event included 24 hours of live training sessions and translation sprints that spanned every timezone from East to West. The goal was to grow the translation teams and educate new translators with live training sessions.</p>\n<p>During the course of the event, 448 translators from 105 countries translated 40,350 new strings across 597 projects. This includes WordPress core and open source plugins and themes, such as Pods, Google Two-Factor Authentication, WooCommerce, bbPress, Yoast SEO, and hundreds of others.</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/WPTranslationDay?src=hash\">#WPTranslationDay</a> in Japan &#8211; Our collective achievement today: of top 100, 20 plugins/62 plugins are now translated in Japanese.</p>\n<p>&mdash; Naoko Takano (@naokomc) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/naokomc/status/724180025033940992\">April 24, 2016</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/japan-thailand-wptranslation-day.png\"><img src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/japan-thailand-wptranslation-day.png?resize=1025%2C766\" alt=\"Japan and Thailand live streaming each other\'s events -  photo credit: Menn Studio\" class=\"size-full wp-image-54075\" /></a>Japan and Thailand live streaming each other&#8217;s events &#8211;  photo credit: <a href=\"https://twitter.com/MennStudio/status/724151092771065857\">Menn Studio</a>\n<p>&#8220;We had 39 local events and 11 remote events happening across the globe,&#8221; organizer Petya Raykovska said. &#8220;India was the big surprise with four of the big Indian languages getting new contributors, forming teams and connecting across India with one another to collaborate live.&#8221;</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Last year Hindi was far from 100%.

The event featured 12 training sessions in different languages to teach participants how to translate WordPress core, including Japanese, Hindi, Bulgarian, German, Slovak, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish, Dutch, Lithuanian and Italian.</p>\n<p>The other sessions focused on topics for plugin and theme developers, such as:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Plugin documentation and support for the whole world</li>\n<li>How to find translators for your plugins and themes</li>\n<li>Localization – Beyond Translation </li>\n<li>The life of a string – or how WordPress gets its translations</li>\n<li>Plugin/Theme i18n: How to prepare your plugin or theme for translate.wordpress.org</li>\n<li>GlotDict – how a browser extension changes your translation workflow</li>\n</ul>\n<p>All of the videos from the event are <a href=\"https://www.crowdcast.io/e/wptranslationday\" target=\"_blank\">available on Crowdcast.io</a> if you want to learn more about the WordPress Polyglots team and how everyone works together. One of the best outcomes of the day, according to Raykovska, is that translation teams now have video documentation for new contributors. They plan to upload the videos to WordPress.tv and include them in the Polyglots handbook.</p>\n<h3>Global WordPress Translation Day Offers a New Avenue for Contributing to Translations</h3>\n<p>&#8220;We do contributor days around WordCamps and then the community summit once a year,&#8221; Raykovska said. &#8220;The contributor summit hasn’t been super productive for Polyglots so far. Unlike most other teams, most contributors are 100% volunteers and can’t afford (or get a Visa) for a trip to the US.</p>\n<p>&#8220;So we wanted to organize a contributor day without these restrictions for participants,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And that’s how the idea was born.&#8221;</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Staring at the top of the pile of strings we translated during the Dutch <a href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/wptranslationday?src=hash\">#wptranslationday</a> meetup! <a href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/community?src=hash\">#community</a> <a href=\"https://t.co/hnC3OJsHTS\">pic.twitter.com/hnC3OJsHTS</a></p>\n<p>&mdash; Taco Verdo (@TacoVerdo) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/TacoVerdo/status/724499512639782912\">April 25, 2016</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<p>The Polyglots team has not set a date for the next Global WordPress Translation event, but Raykovska said it will be easier for them to organize now that they have the processes figured out. One of the most positive outcomes of this past weekend&#8217;s event is that it has sparked translation teams to organize more local events, especially now that they are armed with video documentation and training tools for plugin and theme developers.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Some countries are planning monthly contributor translation drives and standalone contributor days,&#8221; Raykovska said.</p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\"><div>\n<div>\n<div></div>\n</div>\n<p> <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BElHSiBB_KU/\" target=\"_blank\">#WPTranslationDay WordBench 東京。たくさん翻訳できました！</a></p>\n<p>A photo posted by Naoko Takano (@naokomc) on Apr 24, 2016 at 3:37am PDT</p>\n</div>\n</blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<p>Raykovska said next time she would like to get more people on screen from the events happening in different locations around the world. She also hopes to organize some round tables where Polyglots team members can share about their local processes and team structures.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I think we need to make a solid effort to bridge the gap between plugin authors and translators,&#8221; Raykovska said. &#8220;The demand for translations is growing, especially for the most used languages. An event like this would be a good reason for the two groups to gather and talk about what’s not quite working right now and think of ways to overcome it.&#8221;</p>\n<p>As many polyglots will be in attendance at WordCamp Europe, the team is considering organizing a gathering there. This multilingual WordPress event will be <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wordcamp-europe-2016-expands-attendee-capacity-to-2200-largest-wordcamp-to-date\" target=\"_blank\">the largest WordCamp in history with 2200 attendees</a>. WordPress&#8217; rapidly growing international user base and the expanding Polyglots team could make the Global Translation Day event a catalyst for future improvements to the project.</p>\n<p>&#8220;If we can go one step further, it would be awesome to revive the conversation about multilingual in core,&#8221; Rakovska said. The success of this past weekend&#8217;s event shows the Polyglots&#8217; enthusiasm and determination to collaborate across borders to get things done.</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, 26 Apr 2016 17:11:28 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:1;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:62:\"WPTavern: I’m Attending WordCamp Chicago, 2016, This Weekend\";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=54065\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:67:\"http://wptavern.com/im-attending-wordcamp-chicago-2016-this-weekend\";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:1877:\"<p><a href=\"https://2016.chicago.wordcamp.org/\">WordCamp Chicago, 2016</a>, takes place this weekend and I&#8217;ll be among the many attendees. I haven&#8217;t visited the city <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/my-wordcamp-chicago-experience\">since 2009</a> and I&#8217;m excited to satisfy my craving for deep dish pizza at <a href=\"http://www.loumalnatis.com/\">Lou Malnati&#8217;s</a>.</p>\n<p>WordCamp Chicago, 2009, is a special memory because it&#8217;s where I saw a demo of <a href=\"http://www.gravityforms.com/\">Gravity Forms</a> before it launched to the public. At the time, Contact Form 7 was a household name and the go-to plugin for creating forms. I knew it was going to be successful when I saw its user interface and how it worked. Seven years later, the plugin is still going strong.</p>\n<p>The GPL license was also hot topic at the time. During Matt Mullenweg&#8217;s State of the Word presentation, he announced that the WordPress Theme directory would have a section dedicated to theme shops that were 100% GPL. I remember hearing the room gasp during his announcement.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.flickr.com/photos/jeffc316/3611592503/in/album-72157619302065170/\"><img src=\"http://i2.wp.com/farm4.staticflickr.com/3659/3611592503_8deb33cc39_z.jpg?resize=640%2C480&ssl=1\" alt=\"100_2303\" /></a></p>\n<p>In 2009, the WordPress commercial theme market was young and the GPL was a license many theme companies didn&#8217;t embrace. Having your company <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/themes/commercial/\">listed on a page</a> that gets a ton of traffic motivated at least a couple of theme shops to embrace the GPL.</p>\n<p>I&#8217;m looking forward to meeting new people this weekend and creating new memories. If you happen to see me, please stop and say hi. I&#8217;d love to talk to you about your experiences with WordPress.</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, 26 Apr 2016 06:12:10 +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:2;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:76:\"WPTavern: WordPress for iOS Adds Geotag Support, Comment Moderation Gestures\";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=54024\";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:85:\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-for-ios-adds-geotag-support-comment-moderation-gestures\";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:2967:\"<p>WordPress for iOS 6.1 is <a href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wordpress/id335703880?mt=8&uo=6&at=&ct=\">available from the App Store</a> and includes a number of improvements.

All of the color tags will be removed, which makes sense since many modern themes are customizable when it comes to accent colors. The update will also remove fixed, fluid, and responsive layouts and will add &#8216;Grid Layout&#8217; to the list. In the list of miscellaneous features, Blavatar will be removed and Footer Widgets will be added.</p>\n<p>The Subject section will be completely revamped by removing the all the previous tags and replacing them with a new list of general theme categories:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Blog</li>\n<li>E-Commerce</li>\n<li>Education</li>\n<li>Entertainment</li>\n<li>Food &#038; Drink</li>\n<li>Holiday</li>\n<li>News</li>\n<li>Photography</li>\n<li>Portfolio</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The tags will also be updated on the WordPress Theme Directory <a href=\"https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1187\" target=\"_blank\">in cooperation with the meta team</a>.</p>\n<p>The WordPress theme landscape has changed so much over the years, especially with the introduction of the customizer, and this update will make it easier for users to narrow down themes they want to use. WordPress.org theme authors will want to be ready to update their themes as soon as the new tags are available so that they can be more easily found via search.</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:\"Mon, 25 Apr 2016 18:51:42 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:4;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:25:\"Matt: 538 on Basic Income\";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:22:\"https://ma.tt/?p=46513\";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:42:\"https://ma.tt/2016/04/538-on-basic-income/\";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:746:\"<blockquote><p>The economic uncertainty surrounding basic income is huge, and the politics of bringing such a program about on a large scale are daunting.

This post is an assortment of items related to WordPress that caught my eye but didn’t make it into a full post.</p>\n<h2>Matt Mullenweg&#8217;s Father Passes Away</h2>\n<p>Losing a loved one is tough, especially when it&#8217;s a parent. Matt Mullenweg&#8217;s father, Chuck Mullenweg, recently passed away. Matt <a href=\"https://ma.tt/2016/04/in-memoriam-chuck-mullenweg/\">published a touching tribute</a> on his site that describes the kind of man his father was.</p>\n<blockquote><p>We were in a father / son bowling league. I remember admiring his work ethic so much: he’d get up before dawn every morning and put on a suit, grab his briefcase, and go to work. He often went in on weekends and I loved to go with him because they had &#8216;fast&#8217; internet at the office and I could read Dilbert and about Babylon 5. He was a voracious reader and learner, and loved tinkering whether it was cars or networking. In the other room I can hear a bitcoin mining rig he set up a few years ago. He was independent minded and unafraid to question the status quo.</p></blockquote>\n<p>My deepest sympathies and condolences go out to the Mullenweg family. You can read <a href=\"http://ma.tt/chuck/\">Chuck&#8217;s obituary here</a>.</p>\n<h2>My First Plugin</h2>\n<p>Thanks to <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/binarygary/\">Binarygary,</a> my first plugin is in the directory. It&#8217;s called <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/hello-admin/\">Hello Admin</a> and with each page load, a lyric from Hello Dolly displays as an admin notice.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/HelloAdminScreenshot.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-54005\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/HelloAdminScreenshot.png?resize=706%2C390\" alt=\"Hello Admin in Action\" /></a>Hello Admin in Action\n<p>In all seriousness, the plugin is a joke and a humorous way to bring attention to developers <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/please-stop-abusing-wordpress-admin-notices\">abusing admin notices</a> in WordPress.</p>\n<h2>Pressware Partners with Evermore</h2>\n<p>Tom McFarlin <a href=\"https://tommcfarlin.com/evermore/\">announced that his</a> company Pressware, is partnering with <a href=\"https://evermo.re/\">Evermore</a>. The partnership allows Pressware to provide its expertise in custom WordPress development and project management to Evermore&#8217;s customers.</p>\n<h2>Four Years of EDD</h2>\n<p>Pippin Williamson <a href=\"https://pippinsplugins.com/edd-4-years/\">shared the hardships and successes</a> he&#8217;s experienced in the last four years managing Easy Digital Downloads.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Today, Easy Digital Downloads is installed on over 50,000 websites, has reached nearly one million downloads, and has grown to a sustainable business that supports the livelihood of an ever-growing team comprised of full time employees and active contractors. I don’t think I ever thought we would be where we are today four years ago.</p></blockquote>\n<p>His post is an honest look at the amount of effort and circumstances beyond revenue that&#8217;s involved with running a successful business.</p>\n<h2>Translation Day Wapuu Posters!</h2>\n<p>In what is a traditional part of this series, I end each issue by featuring a Wapuu design. For those who don&#8217;t know, Wapuu is the <a href=\"http://wapuu.jp/2015/12/12/wapuu-origins/\">unofficial mascot</a> of the WordPress project. The first <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-global-translation-day-set-for-april-24-2016\">global translation day</a> takes place on April 24th and to celebrate the occasion, the WordPress Polyglots team has created a series of Wapuu posters.</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New <a href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/WPTranslationDay?src=hash\">#WPTranslationDay</a> posters starring <a href=\"https://twitter.com/wp_wapuu\">@wp_wapuu</a> thanks to <a href=\"https://twitter.com/sonjaleix\">@sonjaleix</a>! Grab them while they’re hot! <a href=\"https://t.co/BfU9g8nG9S\">pic.twitter.com/BfU9g8nG9S</a></p>\n<p>&mdash; WPPolyglots (@TranslateWP) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/TranslateWP/status/723494729892110336\">April 22, 2016</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it for issue eight.

While likes, clicks, comments, and sharing counts are all valuable metrics, they are not always reliable determinants for what users want to see. Facebook discovered this by gathering feedback via its Feed Quality Program.</p>\n<p>As a result, the social network <a href=\"https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2015/06/news-feed-fyi-taking-into-account-time-spent-on-stories/\" target=\"_blank\">updated its algorithm last June</a> to factor in how much time users spent reading posts within the news feed, regardless of whether users even opened the article. <a href=\"https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2014/08/news-feed-fyi-click-baiting/\" target=\"_blank\">Two years ago</a>, Facebook also began factoring in instances where a user clicks on an article but then comes straight back to the news feed. This could be because a site loaded too slowly or the article was click-bait and not what the user was expecting based on the preview.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Building on this work, we’re learning that the time people choose to spend reading or watching content they clicked on from News Feed is an important signal that the story was interesting to them,&#8221; Facebook representatives said.<strong> &#8220;We are adding another factor to News Feed ranking so that we will now predict how long you spend looking at an article in the Facebook mobile browser or an Instant Article after you have clicked through from News Feed.&#8221;</strong></p>\n<p>Facebook will not be counting loading time towards this new ranking signal but will calculate the actual time spent reading/watching once the content has loaded. But before you think you can game this algorithm by simply publishing longer articles, Facebook will be measuring this time as a threshold so that longer articles are not preferred by default.</p>\n<p>The social network also announced that it will be diversifying its display of posts from different pages so as not to bombard users with too much content from the same source.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We’ve also heard from people that they enjoy reading articles from a wide range of publishers, and it can be repetitive if too many articles from the same source are back to back in their News Feed,&#8221; representatives said. &#8220;We’ll also be making an update to reduce how often people see several posts in a row from the same source in their News Feed.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Publishers who depend on Facebook for a significant amount of their referrals will want to take note of these changes to the news feed algorithm. The social network has already started rolling them out and will continue over the next few weeks.</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:\"Fri, 22 Apr 2016 22:21:20 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:9;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:76:\"WPTavern: What WordPress.org Does with the Data it Collects from Users Sites\";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=53940\";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/what-wordpress-org-does-with-the-data-it-collects-from-users-sites\";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:5110:\"<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/FreemiusFeaturedImage.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-49261\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/FreemiusFeaturedImage.png?resize=660%2C291\" alt=\"Freemius Featured Image\" /></a>photo credit: <a href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/29096601@N00/2920562020\">data slide</a> &#8211; <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.0/\">(license)</a>\n<p>Since I started covering WordPress in 2009, one of the things I&#8217;ve noticed is that certain topics have a cyclical nature to them. One of these <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/phoning-home-to-plugin-authors\">is the contention in the WordPress community</a> on what data is <a href=\"http://interconnectit.com/1722/who-is-wordpress-talking-to/\">sent, stored, and shared</a> on WordPress.org. In a <a href=\"http://torquemag.io/2016/04/user-data-wordpress-org-belong-community/\">post published</a> on Torquemag.io, Josh Pollock, Founder of <a href=\"https://calderawp.com/\">CalderaWP</a>, argues that WordPress is a community-driven project and as such, data collected by WordPress.org should be shared with the community.</p>\n<blockquote><p>If installing and updating themes via the WordPress dashboard wasn’t so easy, WordPress wouldn’t be what it is today. I understand and appreciate this.</p>\n<p>Here’s the part that doesn’t sit well with me: WordPress.org is collecting data on all of its users (as it should), but this information isn’t available in aggregate form to the community.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Pollock says that as an entrepreneur, the information would help him make informed business decisions.</p>\n<h2>Data is Stored for Two Days</h2>\n<p>I spoke to Samuel ‘Otto’ Wood, who helps maintain WordPress.org, and discovered that some of the assumptions people have are not true.</p>\n<p>&#8220;The data collection systems on <a href=\"http://w.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">w.org</a> have been inconsistent at best, and re-written several times,&#8221; Wood said.</p>\n<p>&#8220;But the general idea that there is some kind of treasure trove of information we&#8217;re storing is misguided, at best. The data is collected, aggregated for the things we display, then tossed. We don&#8217;t store it for any serious length of time. Just the results of the data like the counts.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Gathering, sorting, and displaying the large amount of data associated with WordPress is a CPU intensive job. The most recent example of WordPress.org sharing aggregate data is for active installs of <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-plugin-directory-launches-new-design\">plugins</a> and <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/the-wordpress-theme-directory-replaces-download-counts-with-the-number-of-active-installs\">themes</a>. Displaying the Active Install count is the result of significant performance improvements from WordPress lead developer <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/the-wordpress-theme-directory-replaces-download-counts-with-the-number-of-active-installs\">Dion Hulse</a>. Without the improvements, the data collection would have overloaded CPUs and MySQL databases.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Gathering that data is frickin&#8217; difficult to start with, &#8220;Wood said. &#8220;For the longest time, we didn&#8217;t even have the actual system resources to pull off the &#8216;Active Installs&#8217; count. We didn&#8217;t display that count because <b>we couldn&#8217;t do it</b>. The idea that we&#8217;re hiding things is ludicrous.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Raw data is stored for two days and is then overwritten, &#8220;basically, there&#8217;s too much data to store,&#8221; Wood said. &#8220;All of the data that <a href=\"http://w.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">w.org</a> gathers is used to display the stats on <a href=\"http://w.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">w.org</a> itself. Nothing special is hidden.&#8221;</p>\n<h2>Data Accuracy is Hard</h2>\n<p>If developers are going to make business decisions using public data, the data has to be accurate. Accuracy is a complex problem but the team has slowly made progress over the years as legacy systems on W.org are phased out.</p>\n<p>&#8220;A lot of the <a href=\"http://w.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">w.org</a> systems are poorly made,&#8221; Wood said. &#8220;They&#8217;re old, have been modified dozens of times over the years, and badly in need of updating. For a long time, the data we gathered could not be processed fast enough so we simply threw over half of it away.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Mostly, we phase out old useless systems and replace them with something better and newer which gives us things to display.

The site, which represents the collection of Guggenheim museums, was in need of an overhaul that would modernize its underlying architecture and design.</p>\n<p>Laura Kleger, who oversees the foundation&#8217;s online projects, explained why the Guggenheim chose WordPress for its new website. She said that the team began with a CMS analysis phase, which included Drupal and WordPress.</p>\n<p>&#8220;The ideal process for improving websites is incremental and rapid change, but the old Guggenheim.org had accumulated too much technical and structural debt to produce further results, and a big leap forward was required,&#8221; Kleger said.</p>\n<p>Prior to embarking on the project, the Guggenheim was running on Joomla, but the team had a difficult time implementing small changes.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We wanted to use a widely adopted, open-source CMS with enough muscle to meet advanced needs,&#8221; Kleger said. They needed a user-friendly way for museum staff to create and update content without requesting the help of of designers and developers for simple updates.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We chose WordPress for a few reasons &#8211; among them, the broad pool of developer resources, the excellence of the content administration interface, the rapid update release cycle, the ease of extending functionality, and the CMS’s deep taxonomy,&#8221; Kleger said.</p>\n<p>The Guggenheim partnered with New York-based development agency <a href=\"https://www.alleyinteractive.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Alley Interactive</a> for the website&#8217;s overhaul, who recommended implementing a headless version of WordPress with content served via the WP REST API. This allowed the team to build out the frontend of the site using AngularJS.</p>\n<p>&#8220;As noted by <a href=\"http://alistapart.com/column/nearly-headless-cms\" target=\"_blank\">others</a>, this approach is superior to the standard WordPress templating approach for achieving some of the more exciting possibilities in user experience today,&#8221; Kleger said.</p>\n<p>The new website is a beautiful example of the WP REST API in the wild.

Fastline Media, the parent company, started as a web design agency, but due to the success of their product the team closed down its client services department at the beginning of 2016 to focus 100% on Beaver Builder.

Along with democratizing publishing, we think WordPress (and the web in general) — hopefully with the help of Beaver Builder — has the opportunity to &#8216;democratize the workforce.\'&#8221;</p>\n<p>With the $1 million milestone under their belts, McCullough said the Beaver Builder co-founders plan to keep putting food on the table and taking care of customers.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve made it this far by providing great support and embracing customer feedback,&#8221; McCullough said. &#8220;We might be in the driver seat, but our customers are the ones laying the track.&#8221;</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:\"Thu, 21 Apr 2016 18:03:37 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:15;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:56:\"WP Mobile Apps: WordPress for iOS: Call for beta testers\";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:33:\"http://apps.wordpress.com/?p=3397\";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:78:\"https://apps.wordpress.com/2016/04/21/wordpress-for-ios-call-for-beta-testers/\";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:769:\"<p>Hello, WordPress users!

After over a month in ICU he had just been transferred to long-term acute care in a different hospital and we were looking forward to a tough but steady road to being back home when he took an unexpected and sudden turn. I&#8217;ve started and stopped writing this dozens of times since then and words continue to fail me.</p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the rememberance that ran in the paper a few days ago:</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/ma.tt/files/2016/04/W01521910pdfpreview.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-46424 size-medium\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/ma.tt/files/2016/04/W01521910pdfpreview.png?resize=604%2C296\" alt=\"\" /></a></p>\n<p><img class=\"  wp-image-46500 alignright\" src=\"http://i2.wp.com/ma.tt/files/2016/04/IMG_6024.jpg?resize=262%2C333&ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_6024.JPG\" />It is impossible to overstate the influence my father has had on every part of my life: Why did I play saxophone? Dad did. Computers and programming? Dad did. Travel? He was frequently stationed overseas and even when we didn&#8217;t visit he would always bring back a cool gift for myself and my sister. He drove me to the HAL-PC office (local non-profit) every weekend where I&#8217;d learn so much fixing people&#8217;s broken computers and being exposed to open source for the first time. His O&#8217;Reilly &#8220;camel book&#8221; on Perl was the first scripting I learned, and he pointed me toward Mastering Regular Expressions which became the basis of <a href=\"https://ma.tt/2002/09/smart-quotes-in-php/\">my first contribution to b2, texturize</a>.</p>\n<p>We were in a father / son bowling league. I remember admiring his work ethic so much: he&#8217;d get up before dawn every morning and put on a suit, grab his briefcase, and go to work. He often went in on weekends and I loved to go with him because they had &#8220;fast&#8221; internet at the office and I could read Dilbert and about Babylon 5. He was a voracious reader and learner, and loved tinkering whether it was cars or networking. In the other room I can hear a bitcoin mining rig he set up a few years ago. He was independent minded and unafraid to question the status quo.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-46504\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/ma.tt/files/2016/04/IMG_4385.jpg?resize=351%2C263&ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_4385.JPG\" /></p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a photo somewhere of my dad mowing the lawn and me following behind him with a toy lawnmower, which is a perfect metaphor for how I&#8217;ve always followed in his footsteps.</p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46511\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/ma.tt/files/2016/04/MCM_5113.jpg?resize=604%2C238&ssl=1\" alt=\"MCM_5113.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>I&#8217;m at a loss.</p>\n<p>Parents are there literally the day you&#8217;re born, and it&#8217;s hard to imagine a life without them. Most people reading this will outlive their parents, and deal with their mortality and often difficult and painful final days as those who brought us into this world exit it. I&#8217;ve been reading and reading all the writing I can find on this topic, but nothing really prepares you for it, and nothing makes it better to go through. It&#8217;s terrible.</p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46508\" src=\"http://i2.wp.com/ma.tt/files/2016/04/MCM_7807.jpg?resize=604%2C402&ssl=1\" alt=\"MCM_7807.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>He wasn&#8217;t someone to tell you what the right way to live was, in fact he was incredibly open minded. He didn&#8217;t tell you, he showed you how he lived his life from a place of integrity and trust, how he was in his relationship with my mom, how he was in business. He wasn&#8217;t flashy and seldom talked about his accomplishments or all the people he had helped out along the way. Many of the stories of appreciation coming in I&#8217;m hearing for the first time. In getting his books and taxes together this past week I was humbled by how simply he lived this season of his life, not into material things but cherishing relationships and his quiet life in the suburbs with my mother.</p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46499\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/ma.tt/files/2016/04/IMG_20151225_160835-1.jpg?resize=604%2C452&ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_20151225_160835 (1).jpg\" /></p>\n<p>My biggest blessing has been my family. Every one is the most supportive you can imagine. So inspiring&#8230; much of what I&#8217;ve done in the world was in the context of making my parents proud, and their relationship to each other and the amazing man my dad was has set a bar I hope to approach in my lifetime. The last few years he got much better about showing his pride in my sister and I, and even more importantly saying &#8220;I love you,&#8221; the three words that are among the best gift we can give each other. Don&#8217;t forget to use them, even if it feels cheesy or embarrassing, and for those of you with parents still around please give them some <a href=\"http://waitbutwhy.com/2015/12/the-tail-end.html\">extra time</a> and a hug for me. This was unexpected, we really believed he was on an upward trajectory. You never know when the words you share with someone might be the last.</p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46506\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/ma.tt/files/2016/04/MCM_5139.jpg?resize=604%2C402&ssl=1\" alt=\"MCM_5139.JPG\" /></p>\n<p>I made a page <a href=\"http://ma.tt/chuck/\">you can see his official obituary, information about his memorial service in Katy, and leave any memories you have of him at ma.tt/chuck</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 21 Apr 2016 06:58:35 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s: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:17;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:62:\"WPTavern: A Tip for Convincing Customers to Renew License Keys\";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=53881\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:72:\"http://wptavern.com/a-tip-for-convincing-customers-to-renew-license-keys\";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:3583:\"<p>Mika Epstein, who helps review plugins before they&#8217;re added to the directory and is a dedicated support forum volunteer, <a href=\"https://halfelf.org/2016/despair-licensed-updates/\">has a great post</a> on the difficulties associated with plugins that require license keys for updates. She addresses topics like keeping users informed, ownership, and bundling plugins with themes. She also suggests the following solution to get users with an expired license key to renew.</p>\n<blockquote><p>What if the updater kept checking, license expired or not, and when you clicked to upgrade it alerted you?</p>\n<p>Your license for Foobar has expired. Please renew it in order to upgrade.</p>\n<p>What if you got this email?</p>\n<p>Hey, you bought Foobar back in 2014 and that license lapsed. Normally I’d never bother you, but today I’ve pushed a major security fix. Since this is a security release, I’m offering you a discount. It’s already applied to your account, just log in and you can buy the upgrade at 50% off. If you’re not using Foobar anymore, click here and I’ll have your account flagged so we don’t bother you about this again.</p>\n<p>How happy would you be to find out someone saved your soy bacon?</p></blockquote>\n<p>Based <a href=\"https://halfelf.org/2016/despair-licensed-updates/#comment-75676\">on the comments</a> of her article and from what Epstein has experienced from years of providing WordPress support, it&#8217;s a complex problem without a solution. The perils of updating commercial plugins bundled with themes that require a license key were apparent two years ago when a <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/critical-security-vulnerability-found-in-wordpress-slider-revolution-plugin-immediate-update-advised\">critical security vulnerability was discovered</a> in Revolution Slider.</p>\n<p>Had the news not been published across media outlets, many users may not have known about the update. In some cases, users couldn&#8217;t update because they didn&#8217;t have the required license key, <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/critical-security-vulnerability-found-in-wordpress-slider-revolution-plugin-immediate-update-advised#comment-58566\">as was the case with Brenda</a>.</p>\n<blockquote><p>The slider plugin was bundled in a theme that a PREVIOUS web developer installed for one of my clients. As such, I do not have the theme license key. There is NO WAY that I would ever have known about this extreme vulnerability had Sucuri not released it.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Some companies make security updates available to all customers regardless if their license is expired. For example, earlier this year, a <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/critical-security-vulnerability-discovered-in-elegant-themes-products\">critical security vulnerability was discovered</a> in Elegant Themes products. Due to the severity of the issue, the company made the updates available for free to expired accounts. The updates contained only the security fix without any of the new features developed in recent versions.</p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a delicate balance between pushing customers to upgrade, renew license keys, and making it easy to do so. As Epstein says in the conclusion of her post, &#8220;If you make it easy to pay, people will renew and pay. If you inform them of security issues, they will pay and upgrade.&#8221;</p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a commercial plugin developer, how do you inform and convince customers to renew their license keys? Also, how do you handle security updates for customers with expired licenses?</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:\"Wed, 20 Apr 2016 22:49:41 +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:18;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:79:\"WPTavern: WP Dispensary Offers a Complete Marijuana Menu Solution for WordPress\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=53859\";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:89:\"http://wptavern.com/wp-dispensary-offers-a-complete-marijuana-menu-solution-for-wordpress\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4972:\"<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/blueberry-kush.jpg\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/blueberry-kush.jpg?resize=1000%2C605\" alt=\"photo credit: Blueberry Kush, Indica-3 - (license)\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53861\" /></a>photo credit: <a href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/57298467@N03/5500914557\">Blueberry Kush, Indica-3</a> &#8211; <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/\">(license)</a>\n<p>With <a href=\"http://medicalmarijuana.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=000881\" target=\"_blank\">24 states</a> having enacted laws to legalize medical marijuana, the industry is booming and dispensaries need websites. <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-dispensary/\" target=\"_blank\">WP Dispensary</a>, released five months ago, is the first WordPress plugin to target this underserved market.</p>\n<p>After creating <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/leafly-reviews/\" target=\"_blank\">Leafly Reviews</a>, a plugin that displays dispensary reviews from Leafly using a widget or shortcode, <a href=\"http://www.robertdevore.com\" target=\"_blank\">Robert DeVore</a> decided he wanted to make more solutions to help dispensary owners build professional websites. <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-dispensary/\" target=\"_blank\">WP Dispensary</a> and <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/dispensary-coupons/\" target=\"_blank\">Dispensary Coupons</a> soon followed on WordPress.org.</p>\n<p>Many marijuana dispensaries post their product menus on a board, printed on paper, or displayed on a tablet. The WP Dispensary plugin makes it easy to enter products, with all their relevant details, into a menu for display on a WordPress-powered website. This makes it easy for the dispensary owner to create, edit, and maintain a master list of products, which can also be displayed in the store.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wpd-menu-update-1.4.jpg\"><img src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wpd-menu-update-1.4.jpg?resize=160%2C174\" alt=\"wpd-menu-update-1.4\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-53872\" /></a>The plugin creates custom post types for flowers, edibles, concentrates, pre-rolls, and topicals. It also includes custom taxonomies for aromas, flavors, effects, symptoms, and conditions.

Thanks to the healthy discussion that took place, I learned several new things about admin notices I&#8217;d like to share with you.</p>\n<h2>Themes Do it Too</h2>\n<p>While the crux of the article focuses on plugins being the largest offender, the issue also applies to themes hosted in and outside of the WordPress theme directory. In one of the more extreme examples I discovered, earlier this year, <a href=\"https://reduxframework.com/e\">Redux Framework</a> added an admin notice that informed users of a new <a href=\"https://reduxframework.com/extension/ad-remover/\">commercial extension</a>.</p>\n<p>When users questioned <a href=\"https://github.com/reduxframework/redux-framework/issues/2801\">how to remove the notices</a>, Redux Framework developers responded by creating a commercial extension.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/ReduxFrameworkAdNotice.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53826\" src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/ReduxFrameworkAdNotice.png?resize=1025%2C47\" alt=\"Redux Framework Admin Notice\" /></a>Redux Framework Admin Notice\n<p>For $59 a year, the extension removes admin notices, ads from the options panel, and the dashboard news widget. Even though the notices and ads are only displayed when the framework&#8217;s dev mode is enabled, it seems like a ridiculous way to generate revenue.</p>\n<p>While researching for this article, I discovered that Dovy Paukstys, Co-Founder and lead developer of Redux Framework, is in the process of removing advertising from current and future admin notices. Paukstys provided the Tavern with the following statement:</p>\n<blockquote><p>As a fellow developer, I can see how frustrating an admin notice can be when used as an ad. To support the requests of the community, we will no longer use admin notices to advertise premium features. We will use admin notices for their intended purpose, to inform and educate our users.</p>\n<p>We hope that other frameworks, plugins, and products will follow suit.</p></blockquote>\n<h2>WP Notification Center</h2>\n<p>Inspired by our article, WPBeginner looks into whether or not <a href=\"http://www.wpbeginner.com/opinion/does-wordpress-need-a-notification-center-we-think-so-how-about-you/\">WordPress needs a notification center</a>. As it turns out, there are a couple of different plugins and projects in the works aiming to solve this problem.</p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-notification-center/\">WP Notification Center</a> plugin, developed by Barry Kooij and Never5, adds a <a href=\"http://www.barrykooij.com/wordpress-notification-manager/\">notification center</a> to WordPress. This plugin moves admin notices to a central location freeing up valuable screen real-estate.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/WPNotificationCenter.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53828\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/WPNotificationCenter.png?resize=638%2C155\" alt=\"WP Notification Center\" /></a>WP Notification Center\n<p>When activated, a notifications area is added to the admin bar. This tells you the number of notices available and provides quick viewing access. The messages are also color coded to easily tell the difference between update and error messages.</p>\n<p>Links within the notice take you to the corresponding admin page to view more details. Unfortunately, you can&#8217;t dismiss notices from the admin toolbar without navigating to the links within them. According to Kooij, dismissing notices is a difficult problem to fix.</p>\n<blockquote><p>The admin notices are added in code so I can&#8217;t stop them from being added. That means I would need to store what notices are dismissed and check all added notices on every admin page load to filter out the ones that are dismissed.</p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the other way around from an ideal situation, where a notice would be added to the database and I can simply remove it when it&#8217;s dismissed.</p></blockquote>\n<p>As for the possibility of getting WP Notification Center into core, &#8220;I would love to write a patch for core that would set this up the right way,&#8221; Kooij said. &#8220;That would eventually involve deprecating and stop displaying notifications that are being added the old way.&#8221;</p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in tackling this problem or would like to contribute to other facets of the project, you can find it <a href=\"https://github.com/barrykooij/wp-notification-center\">on GitHub</a> where issues and pull requests are welcomed.</p>\n<h2>WordPress Notifications API</h2>\n<p>During the WordPress Core developer chat <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/01/13/core-dev-chat-notes-for-jan-13/\">back in January</a>, John Blackbourn proposed a Notifications API that would replace <code>wp_mail()</code> with an extensible API. The API could be hooked into by developers to send notifications via webhooks that would enable Slack and IM notifications. There would also be UI added so users and admins can choose which individual notifications and types to opt-in/out of.</p>\n<p>The API is not directly relevant to admin notices but it&#8217;s possible they could be connected in the future. Blackbourn plans to publish a detailed blog post outlining the idea in-depth within the next week or two.</p>\n<h2>Jetpack Notifications</h2>\n<p>Jetpack handles notifications via a module that adds an icon to the toolbar. Notifications include, Likes, Comments, Follows, and the ability to moderate and reply to comments.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/JetpackNotifications.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53846\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/JetpackNotifications.png?resize=406%2C422\" alt=\"Jetpack Notifications\" /></a>Jetpack Notifications\n<p>I use this notifications area all the time to moderate and respond to comments. It&#8217;s convenient and usually loads items quickly. However, I&#8217;m not sure how well the interface would work if admin notices from themes and plugins were added.</p>\n<h2>Subscribers Can Possibly See Admin Notices</h2>\n<p>One of the most surprising <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/please-stop-abusing-wordpress-admin-notices#comment-165057\">things I&#8217;ve learned</a> is that users who are subscribers can <em>possibly</em> see admin notices. On the surface, this doesn&#8217;t make sense as subscribers don&#8217;t have the capabilities necessary to act on notices. I tested this theory on the WP Tavern test site by activating both Yoast SEO and the All in One SEO plugin.</p>\n<p>This is what I see while logged in as an admin.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AdminNoticesSEO.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53847\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AdminNoticesSEO.png?resize=1025%2C293\" alt=\"Admin Notices While Logged in as Admin\" /></a>Admin Notices While Logged in as Admin\n<p>This is the same dashboard while logged in as a subscriber.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AdminNoticesWhileASubscriber.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53848\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AdminNoticesWhileASubscriber.png?resize=1025%2C380\" alt=\"Admin Notices While Logged in as A Subscriber\" /></a>Admin Notices While Logged in as A Subscriber\n<p>As you can see, the notices disappear when logged in as a subscriber. While I initially thought this was an issue in core, it appears to be more of a developer issue. JS Morisset, who <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/please-stop-abusing-wordpress-admin-notices#comment-165464\">commented on the original article</a> has a possible explanation:</p>\n<blockquote><p>The word &#8216;admin&#8217; (for notices) could be interpreted in two ways — either they’re admin / back-end notices, or they’re administrator notices.</p>\n<p>I’ve always understood that they are the former (notices displayed on the admin back-end), and can be seen by any / all back-end users, so I use &#8216;current_user_can()&#8217; in my own code to display different kinds of messages. Maybe this is more of a developer awareness issue than a core WP issue.</p></blockquote>\n<p>While I have not analyzed the code in the plugins I tested, the <a href=\"https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/current_user_can/\">current_user_can()</a> capability check would explain why admins see notices while subscribers do not.</p>\n<h2>What I&#8217;d Like to See in a Centralized WordPress Notifications Center</h2>\n<p>Admin notices are a great way for developers to inform users of important information. But with all the notices bombarding site administrators these days, there&#8217;s a need for an organizational user interface to manage them all. When considering the types of notifications to allow and display, a notification center in WordPress can easily turn into a deep rabbit hole.</p>\n<p>What I&#8217;d like to see is a notification center that notifies me of core, plugin, and theme updates in addition to whatever notices those items generate. I also want it to tell me about errors on the site. These notifications should be in an easy-to-use interface that&#8217;s quick to access. Notifications should be dismissable or have a status where they can be marked as read.</p>\n<p>As seen above, there are plenty of people and projects working on solutions to this problem. What would be your ideal WordPress notifications center?</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:\"Wed, 20 Apr 2016 02:11:41 +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:20;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:107:\"WPTavern: Developers Urge White House to Consider “Open by Default” for New Open Source Software Policy\";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=53787\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:111:\"http://wptavern.com/developers-urge-white-house-to-consider-open-by-default-for-new-open-source-software-policy\";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:7190:\"<a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/white-house.jpg\"><img src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/white-house.jpg?resize=1024%2C520\" alt=\"photo credit: The White House Washington DC - (license)\" class=\"size-full wp-image-52474\" /></a>photo credit: <a href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/71380981@N06/19902559769\">The White House Washington DC</a> &#8211; <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/\">(license)</a>\n<p>Last month the White House <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/white-house-seeks-feedback-on-github-for-government-wide-open-source-software-policy\" target=\"_blank\">called for developers to comment on its proposed draft</a> for a Government-wide Open Source Software policy. The new policy would require code paid for by the government to be made available for reuse across other federal agencies and a portion (20%) of the custom code would be released as open source.</p>\n<p>The period for public comment officially ended yesterday and now the <a href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/\" target=\"_blank\">White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB)</a> will analyze the feedback on GitHub to refine the final policy.</p>\n<h3>CIO of the Department of Homeland Security Affirms Benefits of Open Source for Cybersecurity</h3>\n<p>Yesterday, Luke McCormack, the Chief Information Officer of the Department of Homeland Security, offered <a href=\"https://github.com/whitehouse/source-code-policy/issues/222\" target=\"_blank\">formal comments on GitHub</a>, affirming the benefits of open source, especially in regard to cybersecurity:</p>\n<blockquote><p>When managed appropriately, releasing code as OSS and engaging with the community can have extensive cybersecurity benefits. Security through obscurity is not true security: we cannot depend on vulnerabilities not being exploited just because they have not been discovered yet. There are many examples of widely-used pieces of software that benefit greatly from constant and vigorous community reviews and contributions to find bugs, and thus making them more secure. We look forward to government systems joining them.</p></blockquote>\n<p>McCormack&#8217;s clarification of the department&#8217;s official position combats the common misconception that open source code is inherently insecure. The comment also affirms the department&#8217;s support for working with the open source community.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Participation in the open source community will further strengthen our systems and help fulfill the mission of the Department,&#8221; McCormack said. &#8220;Likewise, we believe in the potential of this policy to incentivize innovation and enable a new generation of companies to do business with the Government.&#8221;</p>\n<h3>Developers Push for an &#8220;Open by Default&#8221; Policy</h3>\n<p>The proposed policy encourages federal agencies to work together to make reusable modules and to build active communities around the open source code they release. It is a better use of American tax dollars, but there is also a significant contingency of developers who believe the policy doesn&#8217;t go far enough with its arbitrary 20% requirement.</p>\n<p>In an issue titled &#8220;<a href=\"https://github.com/WhiteHouse/source-code-policy/issues/90\" target=\"_blank\">Software should be &#8220;Open by default&#8221; not 20%</a>,&#8221; the Presidential Innovation Fellows Foundation (PIFF) shared the following statement summarizing the general consensus of its 120 members:</p>\n<blockquote><p>The PIF Foundation membership strongly believes that it is in the best interest of increased government efficiency and taxpayer savings for the OMB to set a policy of &#8216;open by default&#8217; for custom software developed by the Federal Government rather than setting a goal of at least 20% OSS as originally proposed in the source code policy.</p></blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http://ben.balter.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Ben Balter</a>, open source advocate and product manager at GitHub, <a href=\"https://github.com/WhiteHouse/source-code-policy/issues/90#issuecomment-207820011\" target=\"_blank\">expanded</a> on why the PIFF believes that taxpayer-funded government code should be open by default. Balter penned an <a href=\"https://fcw.com/articles/2016/04/11/balter-open-source-opinion.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">op-ed for FCW</a> about how the proposed open source policy, with its 20% requirement, is a missed opportunity to modernize government. He contends that the proposed three-year pilot program will not likely produce results beyond what is already known, as open source has already undergone a two-decade pilot. By 2019, the push for &#8216;open by default&#8217; will be long overdue:</p>\n<blockquote><p>It&#8217;s no secret that government agencies lag behind the private sector with regard to technology, and the proposed source code policy hesitantly testing the waters of open source is no exception. Open source software isn&#8217;t a potential fad to be cautiously evaluated as part of a three-year pilot program, nor are the benefits unknown or unproven in large enterprises. Open source is simply how industry builds software today. You&#8217;d be hard-pressed to find a startup worth its venture capital funding that isn&#8217;t based, at least in part, on open source software. The same holds true of most industry leaders, already embracing open source as a core part of their business strategy, including Microsoft, Apple, Google, IBM, SAP and Adobe to name a few.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Mozilla representatives also <a href=\"https://github.com/WhiteHouse/source-code-policy/issues/159\" target=\"_blank\">commented on the issue</a> to affirm its support for “open by default” and clear international licensing. The company identified four key reasons for shooting for 100% rather than mandating a minimum requirement:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open source by default is consistent with the principle that the public should receive maximal benefit from the expenditure of their tax dollars.</li>\n<li>Software produced in the open will be of high quality and will help promote the public’s trust due to the extra scrutiny it can receive and the potential contribution of external interested parties.</li>\n<li>The additional burden of opening source code to the public should not be great if the software already has to be prepared for sharing within the Federal government.</li>\n<li>The burden of tracking, assessing and reporting on percentages is removed, as is the problem of deciding how to make the measurements in the first place.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Mozilla and many others commenting on the issue are urging the White House to reject the notion of an arbitrary 20% target and instead aim for open source from the outset, removing sensitive parts of the code base as necessary.</p>\n<p>It&#8217;s unclear how much weight this particular issue will hold in the creation of the final policy, but the opportunity for industry experts to comment on and contribute to the process is already a major step forward.

Although he heads up one of the largest open source projects in the world, with 1,000 contributors involved in every bimonthly release, Torvalds claims he is not a people person.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I did not start Linux as a collaborative project,&#8221; Torvalds said. &#8220;I started it as one in a series of many projects I had done at the time for myself, partly because I needed the end result, but even more because I just enjoyed programming.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Torvalds said that open source wasn&#8217;t really on his radar at all. As Linux grew, it became something he wanted to show off to people and he made it publicly available. It wasn&#8217;t even open source at that point, which was mainly called &#8220;free software&#8221; back then. He had no intention of using open source to improve his project. He simply invited comments on his project and, to his amazement, people took interest in the code and started contributing ideas.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Every project before that had been completely personal, and it was a revelation when people just started commenting, started giving feedback on your code,&#8221; Torvalds said.</p>\n<p>As the Linux project grew, thousands of people wanted to contribute. Torvalds said that it reached a breaking point where he knew he couldn&#8217;t scale it to work with that many people without having some kind of version control system in place.</p>\n<p>&#8220;So git is my second project, which was only created for me to maintain my first project,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And this is literally how I work. I do code for fun, but I want to code for something meaningful. Every single project that I&#8217;ve ever done has been for something I needed.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Ironically, for someone who professes not to be a people person, Torvalds revolutionized collaborative development for teams and projects with Git. He said that he has often been in conflict with other people and can be &#8220;myopic when it comes to other people&#8217;s feelings.&#8221; Open source gave him a way to work effectively with other people:</p>\n<blockquote><p>One of the things I really like about open source is it allows different people to work together. We don&#8217;t have to like each other, and sometimes we really don&#8217;t like each other. There are very, very heated arguments. You don&#8217;t even agree to disagree &#8211; it&#8217;s just that you&#8217;re interested in different things. </p>\n<p>Coming back to the point that I said earlier, that I was afraid of commercial people taking advantage of your work &#8211; It very quickly turned out that those commercial people were lovely people. And they did all the things that I was not at all interested in doing and they had completely different goals. And they used open source in ways that I just did not want to go. But because it was open source they could do it and it actually works really beautifully together.</p></blockquote>\n<p>One of the most interesting things about his story is that he first embraced open source out of practicality, not because of ideological convictions.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Without doing the whole open-source-and-really-letting-go thing, Linux would never have been what it is,&#8221; Torvalds said. Even so, he said he doesn&#8217;t necessarily think the principle can be applied to other aspects of life beyond code without a lot of grey areas.</p>\n<p>Despite having changed the future by creating technology that powers the internet, Torvalds does not consider himself a visionary.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I am not a visionary,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I do not have a five year plan. I&#8217;m an engineer. I&#8217;m perfectly happy with all the people who are walking around staring at the clouds and looking at the stars and saying, &#8216;I want to go there.&#8217; But I&#8217;m looking at the ground and I want to fix the pothole that&#8217;s right in front of me before I fall in.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Check out the 21-minute interview in the video below:</p>\n<p></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, 19 Apr 2016 05:05:16 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:22;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:90:\"WPTavern: WordPress 4.6 Development Kicks Off This Week, Dominik Schilling to Lead Release\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=53759\";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:99:\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-4-6-development-kicks-off-this-week-dominik-schilling-to-lead-release\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4254:\"<a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/sharpened-pencil.jpg\"><img src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/sharpened-pencil.jpg?resize=960%2C511\" alt=\"photo credit: Angelina Litvin\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53775\" /></a>photo credit: <a href=\"https://stocksnap.io/photo/JLXDNN5BNE\">Angelina Litvin</a>\n<p>As soon as WordPress 4.5 was out the door, WordPress 4.6 release lead Dominik Schilling opened up the floor for <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/04/14/wordpress-4-6-whats-on-your-wish-list/\" target=\"_blank\">discussion on wish list items</a> ahead of the kickoff chat on Wednesday.

As a <a href=\"https://letsencrypt.org/sponsors/\" target=\"_blank\">sponsor of the Let&#8217;s Encrypt initiative</a>, Sucuri joins <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/automattic-partners-with-lets-encrypt-to-enable-https-on-all-wordpress-com-websites\" target=\"_blank\">Automattic</a> as one of the first companies to fully automate free SSL Certificates for all customers. The company has also enabled the new HTTP/2 protocol by default, which offers significant performance advantages compared to raw HTTPS.</p>\n<p>Unlike WordPress.com, which <a href=\"https://en.support.wordpress.com/https/\" target=\"_blank\">does not allow users to disable encryption</a>, Sucuri offers a &#8220;No HTTPS&#8221; option which will force all traffic to be redirected to HTTP. Customers can also select from partial SSL, full SSL, and Custom SSL (where they can use their own certificates).</p>\n<p>Despite their sponsorship of the Let&#8217;s Encrypt initiative, Sucuri&#8217;s founders emphasized that SSL support is not a magic wand that instantly makes your website secure, since it only protects information transferred between the browser and web server.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Even though we are providing SSL certificates to all our clients, we don’t subscribe to the idea that every website needs HTTPS enabled,&#8221; Sucuri CTO Daniel Cid said. &#8220;The idea that this makes for a more secure web is inaccurate.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Cid and co-founder Tony Perez share a perspective tempered by years of experience fixing hacked websites. The majority of compromises come through brute force attacks, software vulnerabilities, and DDOS attacks.</p>\n<p>In a post titled <a href=\"https://perezbox.com/2015/07/https-does-not-secure-your-website/\" target=\"_blank\">HTTPS Does Not Secure Your Website</a>, Sucuri CEO Tony Perez identified three general instances where SSL is essential: when transferring personal identifiable information, transaction data in e-commerce, and other sensitive data. Outside of these scenarios, HTTPS is not as critical.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I have no doubt that HTTPS will continue to grow in popularity,&#8221; Perez said. &#8220;What I take exception to is when technology professionals say that one of the driving factors for HTTPS is it’ll secure your website, because it won’t.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Sucuri only recommends HTTPS for customers who are already taking security seriously and want to add protection for data in transit. The company suggests putting more basic security measures in place first &#8211; keeping your software updated, implementing intrusion detection, getting code reviews, and storing passwords securely.</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:\"Mon, 18 Apr 2016 04:21:35 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:24;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:44:\"Post Status: WordPress 4.5 — Draft Podcast\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"https://poststatus.com/?p=23435\";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:51:\"https://poststatus.com/wordpress-4-5-draft-podcast/\";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:2142:\"<p>Welcome to the Post Status <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/category/draft\">Draft podcast</a>, which you can find <a href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/post-status-draft-wordpress/id976403008\">on iTunes</a>, <a href=\"http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/krogsgard/post-status-draft-wordpress-podcast\">Stitcher</a>, and <a href=\"http://simplecast.fm/podcasts/1061/rss\">via RSS</a> for your favorite podcatcher.

The plugin has more than a million active installations and is critical for migrations, unless you are familiar with using more advanced tools. With years of unresolved support threads identifying the plugin&#8217;s many bugs, the importer is in need of some help.</p>\n<p>In a volunteer-driven open source community, important projects like the WordPress importer can go neglected for a long time until someone gets inspired to take on the responsibility. The good news, however, is that the importer is in the process of being completely rewritten thanks to Ryan McCue, who is also a leader on the WP REST API project.</p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://github.com/humanmade/WordPress-Importer\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress Importer Redux</a> project is available on GitHub with fixes for some of the previous plugin&#8217;s most troublesome issues. McCue is rewriting the importer with the goals of making it &#8220;fast, lightweight, and consistent.&#8221; He summarized the major improvements that are part of version 2 in a <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/11/18/wordpress-importer-redux/\" target=\"_blank\">post</a> on Make/WordPress core blog:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Way less memory usage:</strong> Testing shows memory usage to import a 41MB WXR file is down from 132MB to 19MB (less than half the actual file size!). This means no more splitting files just to get them to import.</li>\n<li><strong>Faster parser:</strong> By using a streaming XML parser, we process data as we go, which is much more scalable than the current approach. Content can begin being imported as soon as the file is read, rather than waiting for pre-processing.</li>\n<li><strong>Resumable parsing:</strong> By storing more in the database instead of variables, we can quit and resume imports on-the-go.</li>\n<li><strong>Partial imports:</strong> Rethinking the deduplication approach allows better partial imports, such as when you’re updating a production site from staging.\n</li>\n<li><strong>Better CLI:</strong> Treating the CLI as a first-class citizen means a better experience for those doing imports on a daily basis, and better code quality and reusability.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Until recently, the new importer had no UI, so the only way to test it was to run it via WP-CLI. A new <a href=\"https://github.com/humanmade/WordPress-Importer/tree/admin-ui\" target=\"_blank\">Admin UI branch</a> of the project is now available so you can <a href=\"https://github.com/humanmade/WordPress-Importer/archive/master.zip\" target=\"_blank\">download the plugin as a zip</a> and activate it inside WordPress. McCue tweeted a sneak peak at the progress bar for the import summary:</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New WordPress Importer UI, coming soon. <a href=\"https://t.co/wM6cZY6BSk\">pic.twitter.com/wM6cZY6BSk</a></p>\n<p>&mdash; Ryan McCue ⍨ (@rmccue) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/rmccue/status/717610812236410880\">April 6, 2016</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<p>He is also <a href=\"https://twitter.com/rmccue/status/719454867543076864\" target=\"_blank\">working on a better user mapping UI for the importer</a>.

Some users thought <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-honestly-thought-my-site-had-been-hacked-some-sort-of-warning-please?replies=14\">their sites were hacked</a> after noticing the menu label changed and seeing a bright green menu icon.</p>\n<p>Syed Balkhi, founder of WPBeginner.com, along with Chris Christoff, lead developer of the MonsterInsights plugin, immediately responded to criticism in the forums. One of the biggest complaints from users was the lack of communication that the plugin changed hands.</p>\n<p>Christoff admits that the plugin&#8217;s changelog should have included information about the switch.</p>\n<blockquote><p>I thought I had included information about the acquisition in the changelog, but I apparently didn&#8217;t. That&#8217;s totally on me, and I can certainly understand why people might be a bit upset over that.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Complaints about the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-honestly-thought-my-site-had-been-hacked-some-sort-of-warning-please?replies=14#post-8277576\">bright menu icon</a> were addressed with a recent update that lowers its opacity to be more in line with other icons. Even though the bright green is gone, the icon is still noticeable. Here&#8217;s what it looks like.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/NewMonsterInsightsPluginIcon.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53708\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/NewMonsterInsightsPluginIcon.png?resize=149%2C240\" alt=\"New MonsterInsights Menu Icon\" /></a>New MonsterInsights Menu Icon\n<p>The menu label was also renamed from MonsterInsights to Insights. Not only is it shorter, it&#8217;s more in line with the plugin&#8217;s functionality. Its placement within the admin menu was also fixed as it no longer shows up near the top of the list.</p>\n<p>Another concern brought up by users are the four display ads on the plugin&#8217;s dashboard page. While some users thought these were new, they&#8217;ve always existed in the free plugin. Instead of advertising Joost de Valk&#8217;s products, they now advertise four complimentary products affiliated with Balkhi.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/MonsterInsightsDisplayAds.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53709\" src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/MonsterInsightsDisplayAds.png?resize=1025%2C596\" alt=\"Display Advertising in MonsterInsights\" /></a>Display Advertising in MonsterInsights\n<p>Within the last 24 hours, the plugin has received a number of enhancements based on user feedback.

Peter is a web developer from the Land of the Danes. He is the creator of <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-pusher-aims-to-provide-pain-free-deployment-of-wordpress-themes-and-plugins-from-github\" target=\"_blank\">WP Pusher</a> and a huge travel addict, bringing his work along with him as he goes.<br />\n&nbsp;</p>\n<hr />\n<p>If you run a typical WordPress agency, I will be bold enough to say this: Your WordPress team is probably not working as a team. Ouch!</p>\n<p>Developer productivity and workflow strategies are my passions. I try to talk to every WordPress developer I meet about how they work and what problems they face. If you ever used WP Pusher, signed up for one of my crash courses on Git, or if for any other reason I have your email address, there is a good chance that I have talked to you about this as well. I have spoken with hundreds of WordPress freelancers and agencies in order to get insights about how they work. You will be surprised to hear how many WordPress agencies are working as small one-person teams, instead of actually working together. The reason for this is a lack of some of the most basic enablers of teamwork.</p>\n<p>Here are 3 things that will make it very obvious to me that your WordPress team is probably not as much of a team as you would like to think:</p>\n<h2>1. Lack of version control</h2>\n<p>Did you read this headline thinking &#8220;Great, we&#8217;re committing everything to Bitbucket already, so we&#8217;re fine&#8221;? To be honest: Having an account on Bitbucket and pushing all your code there is not enough.</p>\n<p>Git is not just about backing up your code on Bitbucket or GitHub. It is one of the most basic collaboration tools for your developers. Git gives them the freedom to collaborate on the projects they work on, but only if used in a certain way. If the commit log is a big mess of huge commits with meaningless commit messages, it won&#8217;t be very helpful to the rest of the team.</p>\n<p>However, if a commit represents a small, isolated change and a commit message is well-written and concise, suddenly Git becomes a tool that your team can use to stay on top of what everyone else is working on. In teamwork, communication is key and Git is a great way for your team to communicate what is going on within the different code bases they are working on.</p>\n<h2>2. Lack of a code collaboration platform</h2>\n<p>The main reason to use a code collaboration platform like GitHub or Bitbucket is not to have a backup of your code. Dropbox would probably be easier to use in that case.</p>\n<p>GitHub in particular is a great place for code collaboration. The way pull requests are implemented on GitHub makes reviewing code very enjoyable. Pull requests are a way for your developers to act as a team, by helping each other out with knowledge sharing and feedback. By opening a pull request early in the process of building a new feature, you can invite your co workers to follow your progress and chip in with their knowledge. I have written in detail about pull requests on the WP Pusher blog if you want to learn more.</p>\n<p>Of course, GitHub is also a great place to see the current status of your team spirit. Are people sharing their work and asking for feedback? What are they getting it in return? Are people helping each other out? Are they working as a team?</p>\n<p>The culture is important as well. Giving each other feedback needs to be the norm. Using pull requests and having a list of well-written commit messages on GitHub is the first step, but the culture needs to be embraced as well. Asking for help should be rewarded and not frowned upon.</p>\n<h2>3. Lack of a deployment strategy</h2>\n<p>How are you going to review something that was edited live on a production site? The truth is, you are not.</p>\n<p>When your team is up and running with Git, a proper deployment strategy is a no brainer. It is the natural next step. If you do not have a proper strategy for your deployments, it tells me two things: 1. You are probably not using version control properly. 2. Your developers are manually uploading files over FTP &#8211; files that were never reviewed by any teammate.</p>\n<p>If you are using version control, having a deployment process that kicks in when code has been reviewed and is ready for production is easy. The lack of a deployment strategy is a very clear sign that something is missing in your processes.</p>\n<p>If you read this far and are realizing that your WordPress team is not really working as a team, here is my number one recommendation: Get every single technical person on your team on board with Git. Build a culture where communication and collaboration are the norm. In practice that means at least two things: First, when you look over the commit log on GitHub, you can actually see what happened and when. Second, when you go through the pull requests, the team spirit should be obvious from the way feedback is given and code reviews are done.</p>\n<p>My hope is that this post has convinced you that Git is more than just a backup tool.

Additionally, <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=%22font+awesome%22\" target=\"_blank\">more than 300 plugins on WordPress.org</a> and <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/themes/search/%22font%20awesome%22/\" target=\"_blank\">dozens of themes</a> use Font Awesome in some way.</p>\n<p>The 4.6.0 release is a major update that improves accessibility for the millions of users who have vision and/or hearing impairments <a href=\"http://www.sitepoint.com/how-many-users-need-accessible-websites/\" target=\"_blank\">requiring accessible websites</a>. Font Awesome introduced a new <a href=\"http://fontawesome.io/icons/#accessibility\" target=\"_blank\">accessibility icon category</a> with 15 icons and more on the way.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/font-awesome-accessibility-icons.png\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/font-awesome-accessibility-icons.png?resize=1025%2C339\" alt=\"font-awesome-accessibility-icons\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53683\" /></a></p>\n<p>&#8220;We initially started with a set of common US disability access symbols, then expanded to others the FA community asked for,&#8221; Gandy said. &#8220;We’ll definitely keep adding to this category as more requests come in.&#8221;</p>\n<p>The Font Awesome documentation has also been updated with a new <a href=\"http://fontawesome.io/accessibility/\" target=\"_blank\">accessibility section</a>, showing users how to mark up icons so they work well for those using assistive technology to navigate websites and applications. Each icon page also has an updated example code block that users can copy and paste to ensure their icons are accessibility-ready.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/font-awesome-code-examples.png\"><img src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/font-awesome-code-examples.png?resize=1025%2C294\" alt=\"font-awesome-code-examples\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53688\" /></a></p>\n<p>WordPress plugin and theme authors who include Font Awesome icons in their work should update the <a href=\"http://fontawesome.io/get-started/#bootstrapcdn\" target=\"_blank\">CDN link</a> to reference the latest version so website owners can use the new accessibility icons.

Users who are looking for a caching solution that simply works and has nothing to configure should check out <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-cache/\" target=\"_blank\">Simple Cache</a>, a new plugin on WordPress.org that offers a one-click install. The plugin promises lightning fast speed with a simple on/off switch.</p>\n<p>After investigating some of the <a href=\"https://taylorlovett.com/2016/03/25/wordpress-caching-plugin-comparison/\" target=\"_blank\">popular caching solutions for WordPress</a>, Taylor Lovett found most of them to have cluttered interfaces that make them unnecessarily complex to configure. Lovett, who has worked with many different caching solutions as Director of Web Engineering at <a href=\"http://10up.com/\" target=\"_blank\">10up</a>, decided to create his own implementation that would be easy for users to work with, hence the name Simple Cache.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I wrote my comparison blog post with no plans of creating my own caching plugin,&#8221; Lovett said. &#8220;After doing the research, I had a few ideas on how to create a plugin that would really have a positive impact on websites.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Once installed, Simple Cache can be turned on with the click of a button. It also has a few optional settings for expiring the cache and enabling compression. The simple mode offers file-based page caching (similar to WP Super Cache), which is sufficient to speed up the vast majority of simple sites.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/simple-cache-settings.png\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/simple-cache-settings.png?resize=1025%2C472\" alt=\"simple-cache-settings\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53661\" /></a></p>\n<p>Lovett also built an advanced mode that implements object caching and will automatically setup <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/batcache/\" target=\"_blank\">Batcache</a> and <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/memcached/\" target=\"_blank\">Memcached</a>/<a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-redis/\" target=\"_blank\">Redis</a> for you.</p>\n<p>After a quick test in simple mode on a blog with a handful of plugins like Akismet, Jetpack, Google Analytics, and a few others, I saw a roughly 38% decrease in loading time. Before installing Simple Cache, the site loaded in 3.9 seconds.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/before-simple-cache.png\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/before-simple-cache.png?resize=1025%2C257\" alt=\"Before installing Simple Cache\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53666\" /></a>Before installing Simple Cache\n<p>Simple Cache shaved 1.5 seconds off the loading time:</p>\n<a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/after-simple-cache.png\"><img src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/after-simple-cache.png?resize=1025%2C255\" alt=\"After installing Simple Cache\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53665\" /></a>After installing Simple Cache\n<p>These results came without touching the advanced mode, which would offer an even bigger performance boost.</p>\n<p>&#8220;The Redis functionality is forked from Pantheon’s WP Redis plugin,&#8221; Lovett said. &#8220;The Memcached functionality is forked from Automattic’s drop-in. If you use page caching with object caching, a forked version of Batcache by Automattic is used.&#8221;</p>\n<p>If there is no object cache set up, page caching defaults to using the file system (simple mode). This is most likely what you would use if your site is on shared hosting.</p>\n<p>&#8220;So really Simple Cache gives you the best of both worlds,&#8221; Lovett said. &#8220;A very simple setup, or an advanced setup with the most battle-tested page cache and object cache drop-ins.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Users can easily purge the cache from the button on the plugin&#8217;s setting screen. If you try Simple Cache and don&#8217;t want to keep using it, it&#8217;s easy to uninstall, cleans up after itself, and, most importantly, doesn&#8217;t break your website. Lovett also worked to ensure that the UX, notices, warnings, and error messages are user friendly and understandable.</p>\n<p>The whole concept of caching is difficult for non-developers to grasp. It might as well be powered by Merlin&#8217;s wand, as far as most users&#8217; understanding goes. They need it to work without a ton of complicated settings. Simple Cache fits the bill and is hands-down the easiest caching plugin I&#8217;ve ever tested.</p>\n<p>Lovett plans to add more features and improve upon his implementation based on feedback from the community. If you&#8217;re looking for a new caching solution, you can find <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-cache/\" target=\"_blank\">Simple Cache</a> on WordPress.org.

That&#8217;s because Syed Balkhi, founder of WPBeginner.com, <a href=\"https://www.monsterinsights.com/welcome-to-monsterinsights/\">has acquired it</a> for an undisclosed amount and has renamed it to <a href=\"https://www.monsterinsights.com/\">MonsterInsights</a>.</p>\n<p>Joost de Valk, founder of Yoast.com, <a href=\"https://yoast.com/new-home-google-analytics-plugins/\">says</a> the company is focusing on its core offerings surrounding SEO and that the plugin no longer fits into its roadmap.</p>\n<blockquote><p>One of the &#8216;problems&#8217; of a quickly growing business is that you have to choose what to focus on. We’ve made that choice: we’ll focus on building best in class SEO products, from plugins to reviews, eBooks and training programs.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Apart from the changes to its name and the new menu icon, the plugin remains the same and should function normally for existing users. <a href=\"https://www.monsterinsights.com/welcome-to-monsterinsights/\">According to Balkhi</a>, additional features are on the way.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Over the next 8 months, we will be adding some amazing new features that I know you will love. Since it’s a plugin that we will be using across our suite of products and websites, you can expect it to be the best.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Since Google Analytics for WordPress was the first major plugin created by de Valk, handing it over to a new owner is bittersweet.</p>\n<blockquote><p>While I’m very happy about the decision to give this plugin a new home, I’m also feeling nostalgic. It’s been &#8216;with me&#8217; for a very long time, but I trust Syed and team will take it to even greater heights.</p></blockquote>\n<p>The acquisition seems like a perfect complement to Balkhi&#8217;s other products like <a href=\"http://www.optinmonster.com/\">OptinMonster</a> and <a href=\"http://www.wpforms.com/\">WPForms</a> where analytical data helps make crucial decisions.

The initiative, which aims to encrypt 100% of the web by making trusted certificates available to everyone at no cost, launched its beta seven months ago.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Since our beta began in September 2015 we’ve issued more than 1.7 million certificates for more than 3.8 million websites. We’ve gained tremendous operational experience and confidence in our systems. The beta label is simply not necessary any more.\n</p></blockquote>\n<p>According to Let&#8217;s Encrypt sponsor <a href=\"https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2016/04/12/mozilla-supported-lets-encrypt-goes-out-of-beta/\" target=\"_blank\">Mozilla</a>, more than 90% of the certificates are protecting websites that never had encryption before. Automattic is one of the early sponsors of the initiative and has partnered with Let&#8217;s Encrypt to <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/automattic-partners-with-lets-encrypt-to-enable-https-on-all-wordpress-com-websites\" target=\"_blank\">add full SSL support for all sites hosted on WordPress.com</a>. With the success of the beta period, Let&#8217;s Encrypt continues to renew and add sponsors to its roster, including Cisco, Akamai, Gemalto, HP Enterprise, Fastly, and other organizations.</p>\n<p>“A mix of people and organizations use Let’s Encrypt,&#8221; Mozilla representatives told TechCrunch. &#8220;Many individuals and smaller entities use it, but quite a few larger organizations such as WordPress.com, OVH, Akamai and Dreamhost use it as well. It’s especially nice to see services like Dreamhost and Automattic opting to secure all their customers at once, which is something that Let’s Encrypt really enables.&#8221;</p>\n<h3>How to Set Up a Let&#8217;s Encrypt Certificate for Self-Hosted WordPress</h3>\n<p>If you want to install a free Let&#8217;s Encrypt certificate for your self-hosted WordPress site, <a href=\"http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-free-ssl-in-wordpress-with-lets-encrypt/\" target=\"_blank\">WPBeginner has a tutorial</a> with instructions for commonly used hosts, including SiteGround, DreamHost, and Bluehost. It also includes tips on updating WordPress URLs after setting up SSL and updating Google Analytics.</p>\n<p>If your host doesn&#8217;t have a fancy UI for setting up Let&#8217;s Encrypt, Brad Touesnard wrote a <a href=\"https://deliciousbrains.com/http2-https-lets-encrypt-wordpress/\" target=\"_blank\">tutorial</a> for manually requesting a certificate via Let&#8217;s Encrypt&#8217;s command line client and setting up automatic renewals. Touesnard also encouraged readers to support the development of the <a href=\"https://github.com/tollmanz/lets-encrypt-wp\" target=\"_blank\">Let’s Encrypt Plugin for WordPress</a>, a project that Zack Tollman and John Blackbourn are working on to make it a less painful process for users.

Today however, the company pushed <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/edit-flow/\">Edit Flow</a> 0.8.1 to the WordPress plugin directory which is the same version that&#8217;s <a href=\"https://github.com/Automattic/Edit-Flow\">on GitHub</a>. According to the plugin&#8217;s <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/edit-flow/changelog/\">changelog</a>, 0.8.1 includes the following:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>New German localization</li>\n<li>New Spanish localization</li>\n<li>Performance improvements for the calendar, custom statuses, and editorial metadata</li>\n<li>Bug fix: Show &#8220;(no title)&#8221; on the calendar when a post doesn&#8217;t have a title</li>\n<li>Bug fix: Persist the future date position of a post on the calendar when a post is updated</li>\n</ul>\n<p>So why the sudden surge in activity? Philip John, VIP Wrangler for Automattic, stopped by and <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/hey-automattic-whats-going-on-with-edit-flow#comment-164215\">provided the following statement</a> to the Tavern.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Folks, we’re sorry that it looks as though we’ve abandoned Edit Flow. We certainly haven’t, and we should have at least updated the tested tag for the plugin as you rightly point out.</p>\n<p>We’ve done that today, as well as make sure GitHub and WordPress.org are in sync.</p>\n<p>Internally I’m working on an effort to make Automattic better at maintaining our own plugins. We want to avoid this situation as much as we can, and I promise we’re trying.</p>\n<p>Thank you for calling us out on this. Let’s see what we can all do about getting some attention for Edit Flow.</p></blockquote>\n<p>This is welcome news to anyone who depends on the editorial workflow options provided by the plugin. While Edit Flow is a WordPress.com VIP project, the team is open to contributions from the community.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We need to give folks a better structure for contributing and build confidence that their contributions will go somewhere,&#8221; Paul Maiorana, VP at Automattic who helps run WordPress.com VIP said.</p>\n<p>Now that the team is rectifying the situation, <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/hey-automattic-whats-going-on-with-edit-flow#comments\">those who showed interest</a> in continuing its development are highly encouraged to submit pull requests or open new issues on the <a href=\"https://github.com/Automattic/Edit-Flow\">project&#8217;s GitHub page</a>.</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:\"Wed, 13 Apr 2016 21:11:23 +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:35;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:78:\"WPTavern: WordPress.com Adds Sharing Buttons for WhatsApp, Telegram, and Skype\";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=53592\";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/wordpress-com-adds-sharing-buttons-for-whatsapp-telegram-and-skype\";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:4431:\"<p><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/messaging-buttons.png\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/messaging-buttons.png?resize=1025%2C452\" alt=\"messaging-buttons\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53595\" /></a></p>\n<p>WordPress.com is finally adding sharing buttons for some of the world&#8217;s most widely used messaging apps. Users can now <a href=\"https://en.blog.wordpress.com/2016/04/13/new-on-wordpress-com-sharing-buttons-for-whatsapp-telegram-and-skype/\" target=\"_blank\">add WhatsApp, Telegram, and Skype to the lineup</a> by editing the sharing buttons for their sites.</p>\n<p>Private groups and messaging are rapidly overtaking social networking. This was the driving factor behind Facebook&#8217;s purchase of WhatsApp in 2014 for $19 billion, an acquisition that lodged the company even deeper into its users&#8217; pocket communications. The app now has <a href=\"http://www.theverge.com/2016/2/1/10889534/whats-app-1-billion-users-facebook-mark-zuckerberg\" target=\"_blank\">more than a billion users</a>, which you would be foolish to ignore when presenting options for sharing your posts.</p>\n<p>As of February 2016, Telegram <a href=\"http://techcrunch.com/2016/02/23/encrypted-messaging-app-telegram-hits-100m-monthly-active-users-350k-new-users-each-day/\" target=\"_blank\">reported 100 million monthly active users</a>, with 350,000 new users signing up every day. The app delivers 15 billion messages daily. Skype has an estimated 300 million users.</p>\n<p>These &#8220;Dark Social&#8221; streams of traffic, which cannot be tracked by traditional analytics, are now dominating social sharing. This includes sources like emails, instant messages, and forum posts. According to a <a href=\"http://info.radiumone.com/rs/radiumone/images/RadiumOne_DarkSocial.pdf?mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRokvK%2FMZKXonjHpfsX96ugvUaOwlMI%2F0ER3fOvrPUfGjI4DTMBiI%2BSLDwEYGJlv6SgFSLDCMbhs07gFWhI%3D\" target=\"_blank\">research poll of 9,000+ consumers conducted by RadiumOne</a>, dark social sharing accounts for 69% of all sharing worldwide. That percentage is even higher in Europe and Australia.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/dark-social-sharing.png\"><img src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/dark-social-sharing.png?resize=1025%2C524\" alt=\"credit: RadiumOne\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53608\" /></a>credit: <a href=\"http://info.radiumone.com/rs/radiumone/images/RadiumOne_DarkSocial.pdf?mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRokvK%2FMZKXonjHpfsX96ugvUaOwlMI%2F0ER3fOvrPUfGjI4DTMBiI%2BSLDwEYGJlv6SgFSLDCMbhs07gFWhI%3D\" target=\"_blank\">RadiumOne</a>\n<p>The survey also found that 32% of people who share content online will only share via dark social channels. This type of direct sharing to friends, family, and colleagues often carries more weight than tweets or Facebook posts broadcasted to the masses.</p>\n<p>Most messaging apps are not limited to one-to-one sharing; users often share to large groups curated for a specific purpose or interest, such as poker buddies, mom friends, extended family, or work friends. The ability for users to easily share blog posts or even e-commerce products to dark social channels is crucial for exposure to these networks that are not diluted by algorithms and advertising.</p>\n<p>With user bases in the hundreds of millions to billions, messaging applications are channels that publishers can no longer afford to ignore. Hopefully the team at Automattic will prioritize making these buttons available to Jetpack users on self-hosted sites in the near future. Until then, you can add <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/new-plugin-adds-a-whatsapp-button-to-jetpacks-sharing-module\" target=\"_blank\">WhatsApp</a> and <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/add-telegram-to-jetpack-sharing-buttons\" target=\"_blank\">Telegram</a> sharing buttons to Jetpack using a couple of existing plugins created by Brazilian WordPress developer Valerio Souza.</p>\n<p>If everyone were to agree on <a href=\"http://www.wired.com/2015/08/time-to-ditch-texting/\" target=\"_blank\">a universal messaging app</a> we could reduce the number of sharing buttons that clutter the ends of posts. Since that is unlikely to happen anytime soon, now might be a good time to find out what apps your readers are using so you can reevaluate your lineup of sharing buttons for additions and/or removals.</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:\"Wed, 13 Apr 2016 20:37:36 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:36;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:80:\"WPTavern: Mendel Kurland Interviews Konstantin Obenland at WordCamp London, 2016\";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=53604\";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:89:\"http://wptavern.com/mendel-kurland-interviews-konstantin-obenland-at-wordcamp-london-2016\";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:650:\"<p><a href=\"https://mendel.me/\">Mendel Kurland, </a>GoDaddy’s evangelist who participates in a number of open source communities published a great interview with Automattic employee, <a title=\"http://konstantin.obenland.it\" href=\"http://konstantin.obenland.it/\">Konstantin Obenland</a>.</p>\n<p>In the interview, Obenland describes how he got involved with WordPress, what motivated him to learn PHP, and what it&#8217;s like living the dream.

The <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/a-day-of-rest-conference-successful-81-would-attend-again\" target=\"_blank\">first edition</a>, held in London in January, was a success, with the majority of participants indicating they would attend again. Last month, <a href=\"https://hmn.md/\" target=\"_blank\">Human Made</a> announced that the organization team is planning an expanded <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/a-week-of-rest-wordpress-rest-api-developer-bootcamp-coming-to-the-uk-late-2016\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Week of REST&#8221; developer bootcamp</a> to be held in London later in 2016.</p>\n<p>Today the team <a href=\"https://hmn.md/2016/04/12/announcing-a-day-of-rest-boston-workshops/\" target=\"_blank\">announced</a> its third planned event for this year &#8211; A Day of REST in Boston, MA, on October 28. Human Made will be hosting the event in partnership with <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Post Status</a> and the team at <a href=\"https://bocoup.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Bocoup</a>. This edition of the conference will include workshops on the 27th and the 29th to educate attendees on how to use some of the most popular frontend technologies for building applications with the WP REST API.</p>\n<p>Human Made representative Petya Raykovska said that Bocoup being located in Boston was one of the main reasons for hosting the event there, since they wanted to partner together for the workshops. Prospective attendees were also eager for a US-based event where they could go in-depth with the WP REST API.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We never planned to do the event only in Europe,&#8221; Raykovska said. &#8220;We had a lot of people asking for live streaming or if we’re planning to organize an event in the US while we were planning A Day of REST London. It was always the plan to pilot the idea in the UK and then bring it to the US and other places.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Organizers are planning for 300+ attendees in Boston. In addition to a lineup of speakers that includes WP REST API team members and experts, the event will put out a call for papers to give developers who are using the API an opportunity to share their work and tips.</p>\n<p>If you want to attend one of the frontend workshops, make sure to fill out the event&#8217;s <a href=\"https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1b8RlgPxD7JaeKVgNErsbxS7vCe_9LMQLAvVaekHiFlY/viewform?c=0&w=1\" target=\"_blank\">survey</a> to indicate the topics you&#8217;re interested in.

The WordPress.com VIP team took over development and in some cases, <a href=\"https://vip.wordpress.com/2013/08/07/atlantic-medias-quartz/\">uses it on client sites</a>.</p>\n<p>If you visit the plugin&#8217;s page today, you&#8217;ll see the following notice:</p>\n<blockquote><p><span class=\"plugin-notice-banner-msg\">This plugin <strong>hasn’t been updated in over 2 years</strong>.

For more than a year, concerned users have created threads in the support forum questioning if the project has been abandoned.</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/assume-that-edit-flow-has-been-abandoned\">Assume that Edit Flow has been abandoned</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/abandoned-23\">Abandoned?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/has-edit-flow-been-discontinued\">Has Edit Flow been discontinued?</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p>A user who goes by the name drtarnaizoltan who has used Edit Flow for more than two years even <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fundraising-for-continuation\">suggested</a> a crowdfunding campaign to continue development.</p>\n<blockquote><p>We have an online magazine, and started to use this plugin almost 2 years ago.

What is your opinion about?</p></blockquote>\n<p>The most <a href=\"https://github.com/automattic/Edit-Flow\">recent commit</a> to the project&#8217;s GitHub page is from Bachhuber six months ago. All of the communication channels used by Edit Flow developers to inform users are dormant. It&#8217;s ironic that a company that <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/automattic-no-email-no-office-workers-2013-11\">relies on so many tools to communicate internally</a> has <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/a-little-communication-goes-a-long-way\">failed to communicate</a> with users of its plugin. This is a classic example where a little communication about the project&#8217;s status would go a long way.</p>\n<p>Edit Flow is an important plugin that we use on the Tavern and as a user, I understand the frustration of not knowing what&#8217;s going on. The lack of updates, and inability to fix a critical bug <a href=\"https://github.com/Automattic/Edit-Flow/issues/267\">I reported a year ago</a> that conflicts with WordPress mobile apps is forcing us to consider alternatives.</p>\n<p>I reached out to Automattic to find out whether or not Edit Flow is still an active project. Mark Armstrong, who represents Automattic provided the Tavern with the following statement:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Edit Flow is a plugin we maintain, and a number of WordPress.com VIP clients use it. We have no other updates in the works at this time.</p></blockquote>\n<p>While his statement verifies that it&#8217;s an active project, all signs point to it being an abandoned plugin for those not part of the WordPress.com VIP program.</p>\n<p>Have you ditched Edit Flow?

It&#8217;s named, as always, after a famous jazz musician, and this release is named after <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coleman_Hawkins\">Coleman Hawkins</a>, a saxophonist.</p>\n<p>The Release Lead for WordPress 4.5 was <a href=\"https://getsource.net/\">Mike Schroder</a>, the Deputy Release Lead was <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/adamsilverstein\">Adam Silverstein</a>, and the Release Design lead was <a href=\"https://choycedesign.com/\">Mel Choyce</a>, with 277 total contributors.</p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a video overview of WordPress 4.5:</p>\n<p><br />\n</p>\n<p>You can view all <a href=\"https://trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&milestone=4.5\">closed tickets for WordPress 4.5</a>, and view an evolving overview of changes on the <a href=\"https://codex.wordpress.org/Version_4.5\">4.5 Codex page</a> as well. I thought I would also highlight some of the most notable features (in my view) as well.</p>\n<h3>Custom logo</h3>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-23381\" src=\"https://cdn.poststatus.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/logo-core-752x270.png\" alt=\"logo-core\" width=\"752\" height=\"270\" /></p>\n<p>The site icon feature was released in WordPress 4.3, and for some folks, the introduction of a custom logo component was confusing. However, eventually, the user experience issues were ironed out and WordPress 4.5 boasts the ability to add logos with core support, and themes <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/03/10/custom-logo/\">can support the feature</a> with <code>add_theme_support( \'custom-logo\' )</code>.</p>\n<p>Custom logo support is a nice addition that was pretty well tested in Jetpack already. There were way too many custom implementations of this out in the wild before, and now changing themes and keeping your logo will be much more straightforward.</p>\n<h3>Editing shortcuts</h3>\n<div class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement(\'video\');</script><![endif]-->\n<a href=\"https://cdn.poststatus.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wordpress-4-5-text-patterns.mp4\">https://poststatus.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wordpress-4-5-text-patterns.mp4</a></div>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Editing shortcuts is my personal favorite change in WordPress 4.5 because it adds the ability to use inline text patterns for quickly writing lists, horizontal rules, and code. These are some of the most annoying TinyMCE buttons to use or HTML markdown bits to write, so this is definitely be a nice enhancement to the WordPress editor.</p>\n<p>The editing shortcuts from this release and the past few releases are some of my favorite updates for everyday WordPress writers.</p>\n<h3>Inline link editor</h3>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23383\" src=\"https://cdn.poststatus.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Screen-Shot-2016-04-12-at-2.11.43-PM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2016-04-12 at 2.11.43 PM\" width=\"700\" height=\"200\" /></p>\n<p>The inline link editor is the second of <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/03/28/the-editor-in-wordpress-4-5/\">two significant editor changes</a> in WordPress 4.5, to utilize a tooltip-style overlay for adding links, versus a modal dialogue.</p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a relatively minor UX change, and I personally prefer just highlighting the text to add a link to and using a keyboard paste command, but for folks using the traditional link button, this offers a less obtrusive experience.</p>\n<h3></h3>\n<h3>Selective Refresh</h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/customize-partial-refresh/\">selective refresh feature plugin</a> for the customizer aimed to create a better customizer experience. <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/02/16/selective-refresh-in-the-customizer/\">Weston Ruter summarized the feature on Make Core</a>, and describes its functionality in depth. He also hints at what it makes possible.</p>\n<p>Currently, <code>postMessage</code> enables live changes, but saving those changes requires a full page reload. <code>postMessage</code> doesn’t do any server side communication. Selective refresh enables server side communication (aka allows for actual saving of changes) and the ability to view changes without a full page reload.</p>\n<p>The code that is now a framework for selective refreshing started with the move of nav menus and widgets to the customizer:</p>\n<blockquote><p>With the shipped example of selective refresh of nav menus in the Customizer, and an initial implementation of selective refresh for widgets, work progressed to generalize a selective framework that would support the complicated examples of nav menus and widgets, but also to support simpler use cases such as letting the server render the updated site title so that <code>wptexturize</code> and other filters can apply. The generalized framework has been implemented in the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/customize-partial-refresh/\">Customize Partial Refresh</a> feature plugin, which also re-implements selective refresh of nav menus and introduces selective refresh of sidebars and widgets.</p></blockquote>\n<p>However, Weston buried the lede for what makes Selective Refresh awesome.</p>\n<p>As he notes toward the end of the post on Make WordPress Core, the selective refresh component doesn’t just allow for site changes within the customizer, but for customizer controls to be called from the site.</p>\n<p>It’s worth describing what partials are in this context, for those (like me) that aren’t into the nitty gritty of the customizer:</p>\n<blockquote><p>This plugin introduces a selective refresh framework which centers around the concept of the <strong>partial</strong>. A partial is conceptually very similar to a Customizer control. Both controls and partials are associated with one or more settings. Whereas a control appears in the pane, the partial lives in the preview. The fields in a control update automatically to reflect the values of its associated settings, and a partial refreshes in the preview when one of its settings is changed.</p></blockquote>\n<p>And…</p>\n<blockquote><p>In addition to a partial being associated with one or more settings, a partial is also registered with a jQuery selector which identifies the partial’s locations or “<strong>placements</strong>” on the page, where the rendered content appears.</p></blockquote>\n<p>With selective refresh, an interface could be created within placements themselves to give focus on the associated control; but the whole customizer isn’t required, and just the control that’s needed can pop out. As Weston put it, “That is to say, selective refresh makes the Customizer a much better framework for implementing <strong>frontend editing</strong>.”</p>\n<p>And that, in addition to selective refresh itself, is awesome.</p>\n<h3>Better image compression</h3>\n<p>By default, WordPress has always compressed images upon upload. By making a <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/02/22/proposal-increase-the-default-image-compression-in-wordpress/\">small change in the compression percentage</a>, from 90% to 82%, WordPress can enable, &#8220;reduced image sizes by an average of ~25%.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Additionally, unnecessary meta data in photos is removed automatically by WordPress, while still maintaining the meta data <a href=\"https://photowebo.com/wordpress-4-5-image-compression-metadata/\">photographers actually use</a>. So all in all, images in WordPress can be cut in size by half without losing detail, and that&#8217;s amazing.</p>\n<h3>Log in by email</h3>\n<p>This has long been a desire for WordPress installs, and there have been plugins to help accomplish it, but now it&#8217;s in core as it should be.</p>\n<p>Quite simply, users can now log in via their username, or their active email address. Thank goodness &#8212; this is a nice UX enhancement.</p>\n<h3>Of course there are more</h3>\n<p>These are the features I wanted to note, but there are many others, as always, that took a lot of effort and greatly improve WordPress core. Others to consider are responsive customizer views; core library updates for Backbone, jQuery, and others; and oEmbed template management (which is <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/03/11/embeds-changes-in-wordpress-4-5/\">really slickly done</a>).</p>\n<p>For more information, be sure to see the developer <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/03/30/wordpress-4-5-field-guide/\">field guide</a> for WordPress 4.5, as well as a <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/support/2016/04/4-5-omg-wtf-post/\">4.5 support guide</a>, and the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2016/04/coleman\">official release post</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, 12 Apr 2016 19:27:33 +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:41;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:121:\"WPTavern: WordPress 4.5 “Coleman” Released, Introduces Custom Logos, Responsive Previews, Improved Editing Experience\";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=53467\";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:122:\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-4-5-coleman-released-introduces-custom-logos-responsive-previews-improved-editing-experience\";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:7256:\"<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/coleman-hawkins.jpg\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/coleman-hawkins.jpg?resize=1025%2C550\" alt=\"photo credit: BBC Radio\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53560\" /></a>photo credit: <a href=\"http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01rl2hx\" target=\"_blank\">BBC Radio</a>\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2016/04/coleman/\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress 4.5</a> was released today, named in honor of <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coleman_Hawkins\" target=\"_blank\">Coleman Hawkins</a>, an American jazz tenor saxophonist. Hawkins was one of the first musicians to establish the tenor saxophone as a jazz horn. Compared to other major releases, this one is short on show-stopping features but keeps WordPress on the path of steady, incremental improvements.</p>\n<p>Most of the updates for users focus on making WordPress content easier to format, edit, and customize. Here are a few of the highlights.</p>\n<h3>Custom Logos: Native Support for a Theme Logo</h3>\n<p>WordPress 4.5 introduces <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-4-5-to-introduce-native-support-for-a-theme-logo\" target=\"_blank\">native support for a theme logo</a> with code borrowed from Jetpack&#8217;s implementation. When a theme declares support for a custom logo, an upload form is added under the Site Identity panel of the customizer.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/site-logo.png\"><img src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/site-logo.png?resize=1025%2C748\" alt=\"Image credit: Ryan Boren\" class=\"size-full wp-image-51779\" /></a>Image credit: <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/flow/2016/02/19/customize-site-logo-and-icon-33755-5-diff-iphone-6/\">Ryan Boren</a>\n<p>This feature is a big win for theme developers, as they now have a standard way of including support for a logo. When they opt to follow core&#8217;s implementation, users will always know where to find the logo upload.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Given the hundreds of themes with their own implementation, it makes sense that core would standardize this,&#8221; said WordPress Theme Review Team admin Justin Tadlock. &#8220;The concept has been well tested for years in themes (and Jetpack). It’s a natural progression that core would get it, just like core standardized post classes, body classes, featured images, and other features that started out in the theme space. There’s an obvious need for it.&#8221;</p>\n<h3>Customizer Improvements: Live Responsive Previews and Selective Refresh</h3>\n<p><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/02/16/selective-refresh-in-the-customizer/\" target=\"_blank\">Selective refresh</a> is one of the under-the-hood updates to the customizer that makes a big difference for users. It makes previews more instant, instead of reloading the entire preview for each setting change. This is a much needed improvement that gives the customizer the true live preview experience that it was previously lacking.</p>\n<div class=\"embed-wrap\"></div>\n<p>&#8220;Selective refresh is a hybrid preview mechanism that has the performance benefit of not having to refresh the entire preview window,&#8221; Customizer component maintainer Weston Ruter said. &#8220;This was previously available with JS-applied postMessage previews, but selective refresh also improves the accuracy of the previewed change while reducing the amount of code you have to write; it also makes it possible to do performant previews that would previously been practically impossible.&#8221;</p>\n<p>After updating your site to 4.5, you can see a live example of selective refresh when editing menus. All core themes and core widgets now support selective refresh and users should see major performance improvements.</p>\n<p>This release also makes it easier for users to customize their sites with mobile devices in mind. It adds buttons to the customizer controls footer that enable desktop, tablet, and phone-sized device previews. Instead of having to test the site on different devices, users can see a live preview of how the design will respond while making changes.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/customize-device-preview.gif\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/customize-device-preview.gif?resize=1025%2C537\" alt=\"customize-device-preview\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51464\" /></a></p>\n<h3>Improvements to Formatting and Editing Content</h3>\n<p>WordPress 4.5 adds <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-4-5-adds-inline-editing-to-the-links-modal\" target=\"_blank\">a more intuitive interface for editing inline links</a> in the visual editor. The interface detects if a user is entering a URL or attempting to search for one. The updated search uses jQuery UI Autocomplete to populate existing content as the user is typing.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/links-modal.gif\"><img src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/links-modal.gif?resize=838%2C496\" alt=\"links-modal\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-52178\" /></a></p>\n<p>This release also adds more formatting shortcuts to the existing ones for lists and headings. You can now use shortcuts for horizontal lines and code tags.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/formatting-shortcuts.png\"><img src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/formatting-shortcuts.png?resize=1000%2C600\" alt=\"formatting-shortcuts\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53494\" /></a></p>\n<p>Developers who utilize the REST API infrastructure will want to take note of <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/04/06/rest-api-slashed-data-in-wordpress-4-4-and-4-5/\" target=\"_blank\">a breaking change in this release</a> that could potentially cause issues with plugins that depend on the API. The changes break backwards compatibility for the sake of fixing a bug regarding slashed data.</p>\n<p>Other noteworthy updates include:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-4-5-improves-comment-moderation-screens\" target=\"_blank\">Improvements to comment moderation screen</a> with visual enhancements and a maximum length for comment form fields </li>\n<li>Performance enhancements for images: Increased compression makes images <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/03/12/performance-improvements-for-images-in-wordpress-4-5/\" target=\"_blank\">load up to 50% faster</a> with no noticeable quality loss</li>\n<li>Enhanced script loader: Better support for script header/footer dependencies, new <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/03/08/enhanced-script-loader-in-wordpress-4-5/\" target=\"_blank\">wp_add_inline_script()</a> enables adding extra code to registered scripts</li>\n<li>Better embed templates: these are now split into parts and can be customized by themes using the template hierarchy</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The 4.5 release was led by Mike Schroder and deputies Mel Choyce and Adam Silverstein. Schroder coordinated the efforts of 286 volunteers who contributed to WordPress 4.5.

The new API allows developers to easily build applications that fetch the wapuus with their images and details:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: xml; light: true; title: ; notranslate\">\n[\n  {\n    \"name\": \"original-wapuupng\",\n    \"wapuu\": {\n      \"name\": \"Wapuu\",\n      \"url\": \"https://ja.wordpress.org/\",\n      \"repository\": \"https://github.com/jawordpressorg/wapuu\",\n      \"src\": \"https://jawordpressorg.github.io/wapuu/wapuu-archive/original-wapuu.png\",\n      \"mime_type\": \"image/png\"\n    },\n    \"author\": {\n      \"name\": \"Kazuko Kaneuchi\",\n      \"url\": \"https://twitter.com/mutsuking\"\n    },\n    \"description\": \"Original Wapuu\"\n  },\n  ...\n</pre>\n<p>Miyauchi said he is looking forward to seeing applications, well-designed galleries, and games that the community will build with it. The <a href=\"http://jawordpressorg.github.io/wapuu/\" target=\"_blank\">official Wapuu archive</a> is already using the new Wapuu API.</p>\n<p>Miyauchi also built a <a href=\"http://spacewapuu.com/\" target=\"_blank\">space Wapuu gallery</a> with it based on <a href=\"http://threejs.org/\" target=\"_blank\">THREE.js</a>, a library that makes WebGL (3D in the browser) easy to use. The gallery works well in <a href=\"https://www.google.com/get/cardboard/\" target=\"_blank\">Google Cardboard</a> to deliver a fun VR-type experience of the flying wapuus.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/space-wapuu.gif\"><img src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/space-wapuu.gif?resize=1025%2C479\" alt=\"space-wapuu\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53535\" /></a></p>\n<p>Miyauchi is part of the <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/community-translation-and-wapuu-how-japan-is-shaping-wordpress-history\" target=\"_blank\">vibrant WordPress community in Japan</a>, has three dozen <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/miyauchi/#content-plugins\" target=\"_blank\">plugins</a> to his credit on WordPress.org, and enjoys building projects with the WordPress REST API. He said that the REST API hasn&#8217;t yet caught on in Japan, but he has been working on tools to make it easier for developers to create applications. Miyauchi built a WP API client for <a href=\"https://angularjs.org/\" target=\"_blank\">AngularJS</a> and is also creating an <a href=\"https://github.com/miya0001/ionic-starter-wordpress\" target=\"_blank\">Ionic starter template</a> for WordPress + the WP API version 2.</p>\n<p>After learning about how much work it is to maintain the official Wapuu archive page, Miyauchi was inspired to use his skills to create a JSON API for cataloguing the 80+ wapuus from around the world.</p>\n<p>&#8220;If we can update the wapuu&#8217;s data via a CSV file, maintaining the archive is much easier,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The API is converted from <a href=\"https://github.com/jawordpressorg/wapuu-api/blob/master/wapuu.csv\" target=\"_blank\">a CSV of wapuus</a>.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Miyauchi worked with <a href=\"https://twitter.com/tekapo\" target=\"_blank\">Taisuke Jotaki</a>, maintainer of the archive, and <a href=\"https://twitter.com/shinichin\" target=\"_blank\">Shinichi Nishikawa</a> to create the Wapuu API. If you want to add your wapuu to the archive, you can fork the <a href=\"https://github.com/jawordpressorg/wapuu-api\" target=\"_blank\">Wapuu API repository</a>, add your wapuu information to the CSV, and send a pull request to the team.</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, 12 Apr 2016 17:18:39 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:43;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:45:\"Post Status: A Day of REST is going to Boston\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"https://poststatus.com/?p=22279\";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:42:\"https://poststatus.com/day-of-rest-boston/\";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:3963:\"<p>I&#8217;m happy to announce that Post Status is teaming up with Human Made to put on <a href=\"https://adayofrest.hm/boston-2016/\">A Day of REST Boston</a>, following the <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/a-day-of-rest-review/\">successful event in London in January</a>. This iteration of A Day of REST will include both a day long conference and workshops catered to developers interested in using the WordPress REST API.</p>\n<p>Like in London, A Day of REST Boston will have speakers from the team that is actually building the API and using it in production environments. The main event will take place <strong>October 28th, 2016</strong> at Calderwood Pavilion. Workshops will be October 27th and October 29th.</p>\n<p><strong>Organizers:</strong> A Day of REST Boston is put together by experienced industry event organizers from <a href=\"https://hmn.md/\">Human Made</a> who have organized events like WordCamp London 2013 and 2015, WordCamp Europe 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and A Day of REST London. The primary folks from the Human Made team are Siobhan McKeown, Petya Raykovska, and Zoe Beardmore. And Post Status will be co-organizing!</p>\n<p><strong>Speakers:</strong> Like in London, members of the WordPress REST API team itself will be speaking and participating in the event. Also, industry experts and developers who are actually using the REST API in production will be there. We&#8217;ll have a call for speakers available soon as well, as we&#8217;re seeking new and exciting examples of the REST API out in the wild, and the stories of the folks that made it happen.</p>\n<h3>Workshops</h3>\n<p>One of the things I&#8217;m most excited about for the Boston-based version of this event is that there will be <em>two days of workshops</em> in addition to the event, rather than a hack day. It was clear in London that there was demand for more hands-on activities to allow people (new and experienced with the API) to dig deeper.</p>\n<p>Attendees will have the opportunity to attend front end workshops tailored to WordPress developers, covering everything from JavaScript basics to in-depth explorations of specific technologies. A Day of REST is partnering with <a href=\"https://bocoup.com/\">Bocoup</a> (an incredible Boston based agency that loves open source technology), and perhaps a few other folks, to put on outstanding workshops.</p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in the event and the workshops, please help us choose the most relevant and valuable workshop topics for you. <a href=\"https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1b8RlgPxD7JaeKVgNErsbxS7vCe_9LMQLAvVaekHiFlY/viewform?c=0&w=1\">Fill out the workshop survey</a> to have your say on what should be included. One workshop day is before the main event, and the other is the day after.</p>\n<p>There will be a special limited batch of Early Bird tickets for the conference, but you have to be <a href=\"https://adayofrest.hm/boston-2016/\">subscribe for A Day of REST Boston email notifications</a>.</p>\n<h3>Post Status involvement</h3>\n<p>At A Day of REST London, I was a general media partner, covering the event and <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/resources/category/events/a-day-of-rest/\">I&#8217;m hosting the videos as we release them</a>. This time around, I&#8217;m a co-organizer.

One of the attendees who made its presence known the day of the event was a giant Wapuu. From left to right is WordPress co-creator Mike Little, Wapuu, and Jenny Wong.

This post is an assortment of items related to WordPress that caught my eye but didn’t make it into a full post.</p>\n<h2>Revolution Slider Possible Cause of Data Breach</h2>\n<p>Wordfence <a href=\"https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2016/04/mossack-fonseca-breach-vulnerable-slider-revolution/\">analyzed the Mossack Fonseca website</a> and discovered that it was running a <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/critical-security-vulnerability-found-in-wordpress-slider-revolution-plugin-immediate-update-advised\">vulnerable version</a> of Revolution Slider, a popular image slider plugin for WordPress. The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to place a shell on the web server. Whether this is the point of entry for the data leak remains to be seen. While I enjoyed the article, <a href=\"https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11449750\">some people on Hacker News</a> ripped it apart.</p>\n<h2>State of the Woo</h2>\n<p>The second annual <a href=\"https://wooconf.com/\">WooConf</a> took place this week where Matt Mullenweg gave the State of The Woo address. Marie Dodson of Torque has <a href=\"http://torquemag.io/2016/04/state-of-the-woo-2016/\">a great post</a> with highlights from his session. The biggest take away is that Automattic plans on releasing a Jetpack like plugin for WooCommerce to handle complicated tasks like payments, shipments, taxes, and more.</p>\n<p>It&#8217;s incredible how many WooCommerce plugins are submitted to us for review. It seems like there&#8217;s a plugin that handles any nuance of WooCommerce you can think of. It&#8217;s turned into quite a cottage industry and one every product developer should consider getting into.</p>\n<h2>WordPress Importer Progress Bars</h2>\n<p>In addition to his work on the WordPress REST API, Ryan McCue is also <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/11/18/wordpress-importer-redux/\">leading the efforts</a> to improve the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-importer/\">WordPress Importer</a>. A few days ago, he published an image on Twitter showing off status indicators. Click the play button to see the progress bars in action.</p>\n<p>This is a huge improvement considering it&#8217;s currently impossible to know the status of an import. What&#8217;s nice about this is that each item in the import file has its own progress bar. Also read the discussion on Twitter as the possibility of using this UI for other plugins like BuddyPress comes up.</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New WordPress Importer UI, coming soon. <a href=\"https://t.co/wM6cZY6BSk\">pic.twitter.com/wM6cZY6BSk</a></p>\n<p>&mdash; Ryan McCue ⍨ (@rmccue) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/rmccue/status/717610812236410880\">April 6, 2016</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<h2>WordPress 4.5 OMG WTF BBQ Post</h2>\n<p>Before every major WordPress release, the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/support/\">support team</a> publishes a post on the support forums that contains important information users and developers need to be aware of. The <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/support/2016/04/4-5-omg-wtf-post/\">WordPress 4.5 edition</a> is available and is considered a work in progress. Once 4.5 is released, common issues reported by users are added to the thread like plugin and theme incompatibilities.</p>\n<h2>WP Lift is For Sale</h2>\n<p><a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/wpliftlogo.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-10731 size-full\" src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/wpliftlogo.jpg?resize=131%2C58\" alt=\"WPLift.com Logo\" /></a><a href=\"http://wplift.com\">WPLift</a>, a site dedicated to WordPress created by Oli Dale is <a href=\"http://wplift.com/weekly-wordpress-news-wplift-sale\">up for sale</a>. According to the <a href=\"https://flippa.com/6291243-wplift-com\">listing on Flippa</a>, the bidding price has reached $55K. The auction has 13 bids with 19 days left. Dale explains why he&#8217;s selling the site:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Quite simply, I have been writing about WordPress now on WPLift since 2010 – I have posted just about every week day in that period and the site now contains over 990 posts, I have been finding it more of a struggle to keep up with running the site alongside ThemeFurnace and the addition of 2 children to my family! I would like someone fresh to takeover WPLift who can dedicate more time and fresh ideas to the site.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Over the years, I&#8217;ve linked to quite a few articles and discussions on the WPLift site. Whoever purchases the site, I hope they continue the great reputation that WPLift has established.</p>\n<h2>What Do Video Games and WordPress Development Have in Common?</h2>\n<p><a href=\"https://twitter.com/JJJ\">John James Jacoby</a> published a great series of Tweets using video game images to relate to software development.

The video should help developers consider things they may have missed before submitting it to the directory.</p>\n<div class=\"embed-wrap\"></div>\n<h2>A Small Woorld</h2>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">WooCommerce is a powerful force in the eCommerce industry and it&#8217;s reached a point where entire sites and magazines are devoted to the platform. One such digital magazine is <a href=\"https://smallwoorld.com/\">A Small Woorld</a>, a publication by the folks over at <a href=\"https://prospress.com/\">ProsPress</a>. Small Woorld features in-depth interviews with entrepreneurs using WooCommerce.<br />\n</span></p>\n<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/ASmallWoorldFrontPage.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53454\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/ASmallWoorldFrontPage.png?resize=913%2C742\" alt=\"A Small Woorld Front Page\" /></a>A Small Woorld Front Page\n<p>One of my <a href=\"https://smallwoorld.com/craft-beer-cheeky-kiwis-abroad-woocommerce-honest-brew-story/\">favorite interviews</a> from their latest issue involves <a href=\"http://honestbrew.co.uk/\">Honest Brew</a>, a company that utilizes WooCommerce to deliver craft beer to people all over the world.

For those who don&#8217;t know, Wapuu is the <a href=\"http://wapuu.jp/2015/12/12/wapuu-origins/\">unofficial mascot</a> of the WordPress project. This week, it&#8217;s 8-bit Wapuu by Melissa Sartor representing <a href=\"https://2016.sunshinecoast.wordcamp.org/2016/04/06/8-bit-wapuu/\">WordCamp Sunshine Coast</a> in Australia.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/EightBitWapuu.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53453\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/EightBitWapuu.png?resize=344%2C310\" alt=\"Eight Bit Wapuu\" /></a>Eight Bit Wapuu\n<p>That&#8217;s it for issue seven.

The network&#8217;s subdomains have been HTTPS-enabled <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-com-to-implement-ssl-for-all-subdomains-joins-the-fight-against-mass-surveillance\" target=\"_blank\">since 2014 as part of the Reset the Net campaign</a> against mass surveillance. Today Automattic expanded HTTPS coverage to more than one million custom domains hosted on the network.</p>\n<p>Last April the company joined Mozilla, Cisco, EFF and several other organizations to <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/automattic-sponsors-lets-encrypt-initiative\" target=\"_blank\">sponsor Let&#8217;s Encrypt</a>, a new free certificate authority for the public. The project gave WordPress.com an automated way to roll out an SSL certificate to each custom domain it hosts. Users do not need to adjust any setting &#8211; encryption has been turned on automatically, which is indicated by a green lock in the browser&#8217;s address bar.</p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https://www.eff.org/encrypt-the-web\" target=\"_blank\">Electronic Frontier Foundation</a>, encryption offered via the new initiative will help users defend against surveillance of their content and communications, cookie theft, account hijacking, cookie and ad injection, and other forms of internet censorship.</p>\n<p>WordPress.com representatives said sites may see a performance boost and better Google rankings as a result of the switch to HTTPS. Two years ago Google <a href=\"https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2014/08/https-as-ranking-signal.html\" target=\"_blank\">announced</a> it would begin using HTTPS as a lightweight ranking signal as an incentive for website owners to switch to HTTPS. With the help of the Let&#8217;s Encrypt initiative, many of the technical barriers to adding encryption have been removed. WordPress.com&#8217;s move to provide free HTTPS for all customers helps make the web more secure as the network powers a large chunk of the world&#8217;s websites.</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:\"Fri, 08 Apr 2016 20:23:46 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:47;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:73:\"WPTavern: Silk Lite: A Free WordPress Magazine Theme for Fashion Bloggers\";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=53393\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:82:\"http://wptavern.com/silk-lite-a-free-wordpress-magazine-theme-for-fashion-bloggers\";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:3807:\"<p>After six months in the theme review queue, <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/themes/silk-lite/\" target=\"_blank\">Silk Lite</a> was approved for the WordPress.org directory and also passed the extra requirements to be counted among the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/themes/tags/accessibility-ready/\" target=\"_blank\">accessibility-ready themes</a>. This magazine theme was designed with fashion bloggers in mind and features a masonry style grid of posts on the homepage.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/silk-lite.png\"><img src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/silk-lite.png?resize=880%2C660\" alt=\"silk-lite\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53408\" /></a></p>\n<p>The basic color scheme for the design is black, peach and marsala (the <a href=\"http://store.pantone.com/uk/en/marsala-2015-color-of-the-year\" target=\"_blank\">Pantone color of the year in 2015</a>). Marsala, according to Pantone&#8217;s color experts, &#8220;translates easily to fashion, beauty, industrial design, home furnishings and interiors.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Silk&#8217;s typography selections combine Google Fonts &#8220;Playfair Display&#8221; for headings and Merriweather for paragraph to create elegant, readable posts. The theme also has built-in styles for intro text, highlighted text, drop caps, and a two-column text layout.</p>\n<p>You will need to install Jetpack to take advantage of the theme&#8217;s custom logo feature, although this will need to be updated when site logos are introduced in WordPress 4.5. The theme also has support for Jetpack&#8217;s Infinite scroll module to load more posts on the homepage and archive pages via the &#8220;View More Articles&#8221; button. The unique sharing button design on single posts are powered by Jetpack&#8217;s sharing module.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/silk-single-post.png\"><img src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/silk-single-post.png?resize=1025%2C749\" alt=\"silk-single-post\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53425\" /></a></p>\n<p>Silk offers a menu location at the top of the header for adding links to your social network profiles. It also includes a custom sidebar widget for adding an &#8220;About Me&#8221; section  with an image background. With Jetpack&#8217;s Subscription module active, the widget that allows visitors to subscribe to your newsletter will have a custom design to match the theme.</p>\n<p>Silk includes support for four post formats: Standard, Quote, Image, Gallery, Image. It also supports Jetpack&#8217;s tiled and slideshow galleries.</p>\n<p>The customizer offers a limited number of controls, with checkboxes to enable/disable the following:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Display single column posts on front page and archives</li>\n<li>Display the featured image on single posts</li>\n<li>Hide search button in top header bar</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The theme is translation-ready and is also compatible with WPML.

After three weeks of being in the system, here is what I experienced.</p>\n<h2>Stuck in Limbo</h2>\n<p>After configuring the plugin and successfully getting WP Tavern approved on Apple News, I thought that articles published on the site would automatically publish to Apple News. It didn&#8217;t work out that way, at least, not at first.</p>\n<p>When checking the status of those articles in the WordPress backend, the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/publish-to-apple-news/\">Publish to Apple News</a> plugin listed articles as Pending. Apple&#8217;s News publisher also didn&#8217;t show any drafts from WordPress or published articles.</p>\n<p>Based on some Google searches, I created and published a new article within the Apple News Publisher app. Unfortunately, it didn&#8217;t show up as a published article and because it was the first one, it had to be approved by Apple News.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AppleNewsPublisherFirstSubmission.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53379\" src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AppleNewsPublisherFirstSubmission.png?resize=635%2C310\" alt=\"Apple News Publisher First Submission\" /></a>Apple News Publisher First Submission\n<p>The first article published in Apple News was on March 21st. Between March 21st and March 31st, I was stuck in limbo. I had no idea when the article would be approved or at what point in the process I was in.</p>\n<p>With the lack of communication, I started troubleshooting the Publish to Apple News plugin thinking that something was wrong. In the plugin&#8217;s settings, there&#8217;s an option to turn debugging on which sends emails to a specified email address each time an article is published, updated, or deleted with a detailed API response.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AppleNewsPublisherDebugOptions.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53380\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AppleNewsPublisherDebugOptions.png?resize=691%2C250\" alt=\"Apple News Publisher Debug Options\" /></a>Apple News Publisher Debug Options\n<p>I didn&#8217;t receive any emails when articles were published leading me to believe there was a potential communication issue between the Tavern and Apple News. A few days passed by when all of a sudden, I received two emails with debug information.</p>\n<p>I checked the <a href=\"https://apple.news/TQYQeeBHDRce_JL3U0PCWGw\">Tavern&#8217;s Apple News channel</a> and discovered that the first article I published using Apple&#8217;s publishing tool was approved. Had I not checked the channel, I wouldn&#8217;t have known that it was approved. I disabled debug mode in the Publish to Apple News plugin and noticed articles published on the Tavern after the approval appeared as expected.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/PublishedArticlesInApplesNewsPublisher.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53383\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/PublishedArticlesInApplesNewsPublisher.png?resize=1025%2C757\" alt=\"Published Articles In Apples News Publisher\" /></a>Published Articles In Apples News Publisher\n<p>Apple should send an email notification when the first article is approved along with details that future articles will be published automatically.</p>\n<h2>What Articles Look Like in the Apple News App</h2>\n<p>I kept the default style settings provided by the Publish to Apple News plugin. As you can see, the articles don&#8217;t look that bad with the exception of the WordCamp Central article. For some reason, the image splits up the first sentence of the post. I&#8217;m looking into why this happens but I&#8217;ve seen it on other posts as well.</p>\n\n<a href=\"http://wptavern.com/img_8464\"><img width=\"282\" height=\"500\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_8464.png?fit=282%2C500\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"img_8464\" /></a>\n<a href=\"http://wptavern.com/img_8466\"><img width=\"282\" height=\"500\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_8466.png?fit=282%2C500\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"img_8466\" /></a>\n<a href=\"http://wptavern.com/img_8468\"><img width=\"282\" height=\"500\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_8468.png?fit=282%2C500\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"img_8468\" /></a>\n<a href=\"http://wptavern.com/img_8467\"><img width=\"282\" height=\"500\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_8467.png?fit=282%2C500\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"img_8467\" /></a>\n<a href=\"http://wptavern.com/img_8465\"><img width=\"282\" height=\"500\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_8465.png?fit=282%2C500\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"img_8465\" /></a>\n\n<p>One thing I don&#8217;t like is that if an image is used at the beginning of an article, the Apple News App displays the HTML code of the image on the article listing page instead of article text. It would be more beneficial to readers if the listing page displayed text from the article and not HTML related to images.</p>\n<h2>Apple News Publisher Analytics</h2>\n<p>According to the analytics dashboard in Apple News Publisher, some of you have subscribed to our channel. The dashboard includes stats like, unique viewers, total views, article shares, and more.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AppleNewsAnalytics.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53404\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AppleNewsAnalytics.png?resize=1025%2C728\" alt=\"Apple News Analytics\" /></a>Apple News Analytics\n<p>You can even dive into analytics on a per post level to determine why some articles do better than others. To view stats in a different program or to back them up, Apple News publisher allows you to download up to 30 days worth of data at once in CSV format.</p>\n<h2>The Experiment Continues</h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s not enough data to determine if publishing articles to Apple News is worth the effort. Three months from now, I&#8217;ll look at the data and publish a follow-up post with our findings. It will also include reviews from readers who are subscribed to our channel to find out what they like and dislike about consuming WP Tavern&#8217;s content through Apple News.</p>\n<p>Although the process could use some improvement, especially around communication, once the approval process is complete, the system runs automatically. Let us know in the comments what your experience has been like connecting your site to Apple News Publisher.</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:\"Fri, 08 Apr 2016 03:51:40 +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:\"Tue, 26 Apr 2016 17:31:26 GMT\";s:12:\"content-type\";s:8:\"text/xml\";s:14:\"content-length\";s:6:\"242364\";s:10:\"connection\";s:5:\"close\";s:4:\"vary\";s:15:\"Accept-Encoding\";s:13:\"last-modified\";s:29:\"Tue, 26 Apr 2016 17:15:16 GMT\";s:15:\"x-frame-options\";s:10:\"SAMEORIGIN\";s:4:\"x-nc\";s:11:\"HIT lax 250\";s:13:\"accept-ranges\";s:5:\"bytes\";}s:5:\"build\";s:14:\"20130911010210\";}','no'),
