Block themes</a>—coming together to use the full potential of the Site Editor and unleash new creative possibilities for everyone. </p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">First introduced in WordPress 5.9, Block themes have steadily evolved, improving flexibility and functionality for themers, users, and agencies alike. Now, design tools allow customizing almost every detail. With style variations, users can change the overall look of their site in a few clicks. You can even use <a href=\"https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/how-to-guides/curating-the-editor-experience/\">curation options</a> to customize the editing process itself. But we’re not done! We can’t wait to keep pushing Block themes even further. Thank you to every early adopter who, by embracing early features with passion, helped shape the Block themes we love today with feedback and testing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven’t yet explored Block themes, check out some of the resources below to get inspired:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use one of the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/themes/tags/full-site-editing/\">1,000 Block themes available</a> and see what you can create.

These conversations may involve sensitive matters, personal experiences, or simply casual exchanges. Regardless of the content, every individual should feel confident that their private communications will remain private unless they grant explicit permission to share them.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharing private messages without consent is a breach of trust that can also lead to unintended harm, including emotional distress or misrepresentation. When members of our community feel they cannot trust others in their personal conversations, it undermines the collaborative spirit that is crucial to our collective success.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How This Change Protects the Community</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By explicitly addressing the publication of private messages without consent, we are reinforcing an existing unacceptable behavior in our Community Code of Conduct: Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting. Sharing private communications without permission is a clear violation of professional integrity.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new addition ensures that private messages receive the same level of protection as personal information and that sensitive communications shared in confidence will not be disclosed without prior consent. An important exception to this is when sharing private messages is necessary for reporting incidents or concerns to the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/handbook/irt/\">Incident Response Team</a>, as part of our commitment to maintaining a safe and respectful environment.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, this change encourages honest, constructive engagement across all levels of participation.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Moving Forward Together</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The strength of our community lies in the trust we place in one another. By clarifying and reinforcing our expectations, we are taking another step toward maintaining an inclusive, respectful, and safe environment for everyone.This new addition will take effect immediately, and violations will be handled in accordance with our existing <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/handbook/community-code-of-conduct/#enforcement\">enforcement guidelines</a>. Together, we can ensure our community remains a place of collaboration, trust, and mutual respect.</p>\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:30:\"com-wordpress:feed-additions:1\";a:1:{s:7:\"post-id\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:5:\"17994\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:8;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:57:\"\n		\n		\n		\n		\n		\n				\n		\n\n					\n										\n					\n		\n		\n			\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:4:{s:0:\"\";a:6:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:27:\"WordPress Thanks Salesforce\";s: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:56:\"https://wordpress.org/news/2024/10/thank-you-salesforce/\";s: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, 18 Oct 2024 20:17:07 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"category\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:9:\"Community\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:35:\"https://wordpress.org/news/?p=18012\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:1:{s:0:\"\";a:1:{s:11:\"isPermaLink\";s:5:\"false\";}}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:326:\"In the midst of our legal battles with Silver Lake and WP Engine, I wanted to take a moment to highlight something positive.

We switched from IRC to Slack, and it was like superpowers were unlocked for our team.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past 10 years, <a href=\"https://slack.com/\">Slack</a> has been our secret weapon of productivity compared to many other open source projects. Its amazing collaboration features have allowed us to scale WordPress from running just a few blogs to now powering around 43% of all websites in the world, almost 10 times the runner-up in the market.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we have scaled from very small to very large, Slack has scaled right alongside us, seemingly effortlessly. WordPress.org currently has 49,286 users on its <a href=\"https://slack.com/pricing\">Slack Business+ instance</a>, which would cost at least $8.8M/yr if we were paying. (And we may need to go to their enterprise grid, to support e-discovery in the lawsuit attacks from WP Engine, which would cost even more.) </p>\n\n\n\n<p>This incredible generosity was continued by the enlightened leadership of Marc Benioff at Salesforce when they bought Slack in 2020. However, it has not been widely known or recognized on our <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/five-for-the-future/\">Five for the Future page</a>, which only highlights self-reported contributor hours and doesn&#8217;t mention Salesforce at all.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a grave error, and we are correcting it today. Going forward:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I would like every business in the world to see the amazing collaboration and productivity gains Slack has enabled for our community of tens of thousands of volunteers worldwide and <a href=\"https://slack.com/\">consider adopting it for their own business</a>.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Salesforce will have a complimentary top sponsor slot at our flagship WordCamp events in the <a href=\"https://us.wordcamp.org/\">United States</a>, <a href=\"https://europe.wordcamp.org/\">Europe</a>, and <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/\">Asia</a>, which attract thousands of people each.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>We will update our <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/five-for-the-future/\">Five for the Future program</a> to reflect contributions such as Salesforce&#8217;s going forward.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We just want to repeat: Thank you.

Forums build lasting connections between members who share similar interests, challenges, and goals.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Running your own forum offers distinct advantages over relying on social networks or existing community platforms:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Members generate valuable content that helps with market research and product development.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Premium spaces can be monetized through exclusive access.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Direct feedback loops between your team and power users improve products faster.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Searchable discussion archives reduce support costs.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Community-driven innovation creates competitive advantages.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Experienced members naturally help newcomers, building stronger bonds.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>You maintain complete control over your platform.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And here&#8217;s a fascinating detail many people miss: Forums drive significant search traffic. <a href=\"https://detailed.com/forum-serps/\">Research from Detailed.com</a> shows that discussion threads frequently appear in top search results, as people actively seek authentic opinions and recommendations from real users.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This guide provides practical steps for building a forum that encourages meaningful discussions and keeps members coming back. A huge part of success lies in choosing the right platform. While there are many options available, <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/\">WordPress</a> offers particularly strong benefits for creating an integrated forum website. Let&#8217;s explore why WordPress makes sense as a foundation, and how to build an engaging community space that serves your specific goals.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Choosing the right platform for your forum</strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Forums work best when they&#8217;re integrated with your broader business strategy rather than existing in isolation. This integration matters more than many realize – forums can complement and enhance core business functions in powerful ways:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Supporting online course students with collaborative learning spaces.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Creating fan communities that drive product innovation.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Providing enhanced customer support through peer assistance.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Building brand advocacy programs that amplify marketing.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hosting member discussions that generate valuable insights.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While launching &#8220;just a forum&#8221; might work for passion projects or interest-based communities, most organizations need deeper integration with their existing services and goals. Building a forum should connect directly with your broader business objectives, whether that&#8217;s reducing support costs, gathering product feedback, or strengthening customer relationships.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, many people are tempted by free platforms like <a href=\"https://flarum.org/\">Flarum</a> or <a href=\"https://www.reddit.com/\">Reddit</a> because they let you set up standalone forums quickly. However, the issue here is that they create disconnects between your community and your main business presence. This separation causes real problems:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Members must switch between different websites to access your products, contact information, or support resources.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>User experiences become inconsistent as third-party platforms control the interface.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adding custom features or integrations gets complicated or impossible.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your valuable community discussions live on someone else&#8217;s domain.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A better approach? Think beyond just &#8220;building a forum&#8221; and focus on creating an integrated website with forum functionality. This makes it easier to:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Keep members engaged with your core business offerings.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maintain consistent branding across all touchpoints.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add new features as your community grows.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Retain full control over the member experience.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scale smoothly as opportunities emerge.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress excels at this integrated approach. As a flexible content management system, WordPress lets you build any type of website while adding powerful forum capabilities through plugins. This prevents &#8220;platform sprawl&#8221; – the headache of managing multiple disconnected systems for different purposes.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://saucal.com/case-study/open-studio/\">Open Studio</a> is a great example of that. They previously ran their communities, course hosting, and payments on separate platforms. Working with WooCommerce agency <a href=\"https://saucal.com/\">Saucal</a>, they consolidated everything into a single WordPress-based system. While that&#8217;s a large-scale example, the same principles apply to smaller communities – start with an integrated foundation that can grow with your needs.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to create an online forum with WordPress</strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Building a WordPress-based forum involves several key components. Let&#8217;s break down each essential piece of the setup process.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Set up reliable WordPress hosting</strong></h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Forums need hosting that can handle multiple users interacting simultaneously without slowdowns. Look for WordPress-specific hosts like <a href=\"https://pressable.com/\">Pressable</a> that optimize their systems for fast loading times even with many concurrent visitors, including handling sudden traffic spikes, without upgrading your plan. You can also benefit from built-in caching to reduce server load, the option to automate regular backups of forum content, and strong security protections.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend evaluating your choices based on the following criteria:&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Server response times in your target regions.&nbsp;</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maximum concurrent user limits.&nbsp;</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Database performance specifications.&nbsp;</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Backup frequency and retention.&nbsp;</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Support response times for technical issues.&nbsp;</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bandwidth allowances for file attachments.&nbsp;</li>\n\n\n\n<li>SSL certificate inclusion for secure connections.&nbsp;</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Server-side caching capabilities.&nbsp;</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Select a forum-friendly WordPress theme</strong></h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your theme forms the visual foundation of your forum and is one of the more important aspects of great user experience. Thankfully, there are a lot of themes to choose from, such as <a href=\"https://themeforest.net/item/disputo-wordpress-bbpress-forum-theme/21584099\">Disputo</a> or <a href=\"https://themeforest.net/item/pocco-bbpress-forum-blog-wordpress-theme/34353237\">Pocco</a>.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<img width=\"660\" height=\"319\" src=\"https://blog.gravatar.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/disputo-theme.png?w=660\" alt=\"Live preview of the Disputo theme\" class=\"wp-image-2583\" />\n\n\n\n<p>While your choice will depend on your specific needs, there are some universal qualities that every good forum theme must have. These include:&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Clean typography for easy reading of long discussions.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Responsive designs that work well on phones and tablets.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fast loading speeds to keep members engaged.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Simple navigation between forum sections.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compatibility with forum plugins.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re adding a forum to an existing site, ensure the theme matches your current branding while supporting forum functionality.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Installing bbPress as your forum engine</strong></h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://bbpress.org/\">bbPress</a> provides the core forum features for WordPress. This free plugin adds discussion capabilities with minimal overhead:</p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Install bbPress from the WordPress plugin directory.</li>\n</ol>\n\n\n\n<img width=\"660\" height=\"228\" src=\"https://blog.gravatar.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/install-bb-press-plugin.png?w=660\" alt=\"Install bb press plugin\" class=\"wp-image-2584\" />\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Create your initial forum categories.</li>\n</ol>\n\n\n\n<img src=\"https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfJyBLUEYdQcv-Sgs26Es4xpqGdb5sRuZGAavnsnuBsuj0Ix8zd8NB-6rSlO9ZuH5rbEhcly_omga97Ey26w5K2adB37EiZoodE3QsCuXi2nxxFNFDfOto3MHrKSE0EfGVVoJWGPw?key=gXVxirggf_20jq3chRoz8A\" alt=\"Creating a new forum category\" />\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>And create your first forum!&nbsp;</li>\n</ol>\n\n\n\n<img width=\"660\" height=\"366\" src=\"https://blog.gravatar.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/create-new-forum-1.png?w=660\" alt=\"Create a new forum\" class=\"wp-image-2598\" />\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Set up the forum user settings, which come with some anti-spam features, as well.&nbsp;</li>\n</ol>\n\n\n\n<img width=\"660\" height=\"296\" src=\"https://blog.gravatar.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/forum-user-settings.png?w=660\" alt=\"bbPress forum user settings\" class=\"wp-image-2586\" />\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"5\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Customize the main forum features like auto-embedding links, reply thread levels, subscriptions, and more.&nbsp;</li>\n</ol>\n\n\n\n<img width=\"660\" height=\"475\" src=\"https://blog.gravatar.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/forum-features-settings.png?w=660\" alt=\"bbPress forum features\" class=\"wp-image-2587\" />\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"6\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Configure user roles.

In order for your forum to be successful, the users participating in it need to have trustworthy profiles that can be showcased in important places, especially if it’s going to be a discussion area for a specialized topic.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, the easy integration with <a href=\"https://gravatar.com/\">Gravatar</a> makes the process a lot easier. Our <a href=\"https://blog.gravatar.com/2024/06/03/profiles-as-a-service/\">REST API</a> gives you more control and the option for custom profile data retrieval and display, advanced privacy setting management, personalized user experiences based on profile data, and flexible presentation options for member information.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This lets you:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Speed up registration processes and <a href=\"https://blog.gravatar.com/2024/09/06/onboarding-user-experience/\">customer onboarding</a>.&nbsp;</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enable consistent identities across platforms.&nbsp;</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide verified email-based profiles.&nbsp;</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>More about that a bit later!&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Secure your forum community</strong></h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Forums naturally attract spam and unwanted content, which can both get in the way of building a strong and reliable community. To prevent these, you need a good WordPress security plugin, and <a href=\"https://jetpack.com/features/security/secure-authentication/\">Jetpack</a> is one of the more solid options.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<img width=\"660\" height=\"297\" src=\"https://blog.gravatar.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/jetpack-secure-authentication.png?w=660\" alt=\"Jetpack secure authentication\" class=\"wp-image-2592\" />\n\n\n\n<p>It will help you set up a reliable login system with two-factor authentication for the users and forum owners, making sure only the verified registered users are logging in and keeping the conversations free of spam.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides that, its useful features help you block suspicious login attempts, prevent spam account creation, monitor for malicious activity, and protect member privacy – all essential security measures.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Setting up content access controls</strong></h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Different forums need different levels of privacy, and you need to figure out what type of forum you and your audience will benefit from the most. Common options include public forums, private member-only sections, support forums, and hidden areas for moderators and admins.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you don’t have to choose one or the other. You might have a public forum that helps every user or lets them discuss relevant topics and maintain a premium area for paying subscribers.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Membership plugins like <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/paid-member-subscriptions/\">Paid Membership Subscriptions</a> can help monetize exclusive content while maintaining easy access to public discussions. It integrates well with <a href=\"https://woocommerce.com/\">WooCommerce</a> and bbPress, which allows you to create special members-only products and sales.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Your forum checklist: Core elements of a forum</strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every successful forum needs essential components properly configured and optimized. Here&#8217;s a comprehensive breakdown of what your forum needs to function effectively.</p>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Component</strong></td><td><strong>Required Elements</strong></td><td><strong>Implementation Tips</strong></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Topics &amp; categories</strong></td><td>• Hierarchical structure.<br />• Auto-tagging system.<br />• Content organization rules.</td><td>• Limit category depth to 2-3 levels.<br />• Use clear, descriptive names.<br />• Set up moderation workflows.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Navigation</strong></td><td>• Breadcrumb trails.• Category filters.<br />• Quick-jump functionality.</td><td>• Keep paths shallow.<br />• Add search filters.<br />• Enable topic shortcuts.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>User authentication</strong></td><td>• Login button placement.<br />• Registration flow.<br />• Social login options.</td><td>• Integration with Gravatar.<br />• Clear registration steps.<br />• Multiple login methods.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Search functionality</strong></td><td>• Advanced filters.<br />• Auto-complete.<br />• Results weighting.</td><td>• Include topic titles and content.<br />• Add search analytics.<br />• Enable filter combinations.</td></tr></tbody></table>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond these basic elements, we recommend adding some extra features such as:&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Community pages:</strong> Show automated welcome messages for new members, dynamic FAQ sections pulled from common questions, member directories highlighting active contributors, and an achievement system recognizing participation. You can then use that system to award members with a moderation function if you want to.&nbsp;</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Forum threads: </strong>Threads are the bread and butter of forums, so they have to be fully functional and engaging. To help people stay in the loop, give them the option to receive email notifications when someone replies and add solved/featured status options. However, ideally, users should be able to subscribe to every thread even if they haven’t participated. Finally, include different formatting tools for improved readability and test your forum with screen readers for better accessibility.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Activity widgets: </strong>These aren’t necessary, but they really help maintain engagement by showing trending discussions, recent member achievements, upcoming community events, and popular topic statistics.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Focus on customizing these elements to match your specific community needs while keeping functionality intuitive. Members should find the interface familiar enough to participate comfortably while discovering features that make their experience better than on other platforms.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Streamlining user profiles with Gravatar integration</strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<img width=\"660\" height=\"392\" src=\"https://blog.gravatar.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/gravatar-developer-homepage-with-features.png?w=660\" alt=\"The Gravatar Developer Documentation homepage\" class=\"wp-image-2593\" />\n\n\n\n<p>Adding Gravatar to your forum removes common friction points in the registration process. Members can start participating right away using their existing Gravatar profiles, which sync automatically between different platforms they use. This universal profile system is particularly powerful – with over 200 million users already on Gravatar, many of your potential members might already have profiles ready to use.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Profile management becomes straightforward since Gravatar handles the following:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Avatar images that update everywhere at once.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Basic profile information like names and bios.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Privacy settings that follow user preferences.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cross-platform profile synchronization.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Verified email-based identities.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Professional profile photos and metadata.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For developers, implementation is straightforward through the <a href=\"https://blog.gravatar.com/2024/08/26/gravatar-api-tutorial-for-app-developers/\">Gravatar API</a>. This lets you:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pull user profile data securely.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Respect privacy settings automatically.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Update information in real-time.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customize the display of profile details.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create personalized user experiences.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add custom profile fields.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Generate user analytics.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enable social features.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These features create a smoother experience for both forum administrators and members, encouraging more active participation. New members appreciate skipping lengthy profile setup processes, while administrators benefit from pre-verified user identities and reduced fake account creation.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The system also scales automatically – as your community grows, Gravatar&#8217;s infrastructure handles the increased profile management load without requiring additional setup or maintenance from your team.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you want to present this data in an attractive way, we recommend complementing the API with the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/gravatar-enhanced/\">Gravatar Enhanced plugin</a>, which allows you to create and display profile blocks. This gives you a simple way to create a list of all your users on one page (though you&#8217;d need to do this manually) or use profile blocks to sign off on community posts.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that it doesn&#8217;t replace the Gravatar REST API in scope but can be used to complement it and give additional UX functionality to your forum.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<img width=\"660\" height=\"316\" src=\"https://blog.gravatar.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/profile-block-example-1.png?w=660\" alt=\"Profile blocks with the Gravatar Enhanced plugin\" class=\"wp-image-2601\" />\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Gravatar simplifies user verification and community growth</strong></h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gravatar&#8217;s email-based system provides built-in verification that helps maintain forum quality. New members can jump into discussions faster since their profiles are already set up, removing barriers to participation.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The platform enhances engagement through several mechanisms:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Members maintain consistent identities across all forum sections.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>One-click profile setup reduces registration abandonment.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Verified email addresses build trust between members.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Simple profile management encourages long-term participation.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These tools help create richer member profiles that spark more meaningful interactions. Members can focus on participating in discussions rather than managing multiple profiles or dealing with complicated setup processes.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Best practices for managing and moderating your forum</strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Automate routine tasks to save time</strong></h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Running a forum means dealing with spam, trolls, and occasional disruptions. Setting up automated tools early saves countless hours of manual work. Start with spam filters that catch unwanted promotional content through keyword detection and behavior patterns. Then, you can add trust-level systems that automatically grant privileges to members who consistently participate positively.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For new members, implement a post-approval queue until they demonstrate genuine engagement. This extra step prevents drive-by spam while allowing moderators to welcome newcomers properly. Rate-limiting features prevent rapid-fire posting and help maintain discussion quality.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Build a structure for your moderation team</strong></h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Effective moderation needs clear systems and processes. Here’s what we recommend:&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Give moderators specific roles</strong> with carefully defined permissions, and keep detailed logs of all moderation actions.&nbsp;</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Set up private channels</strong> where moderators can discuss issues and get help with difficult situations.&nbsp;</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Document common scenarios</strong> and expected responses to help moderators stay consistent.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Create positive engagement incentives</strong></h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Members who feel recognized contribute more often. Design systems that reward helpful participation through reputation scores and achievement badges. Quality scoring helps highlight valuable content, while member levels show experience and trust. Simple &#8220;thank you&#8221; mechanisms encourage members to help others.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Plan for challenging situations</strong></h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even well-run forums face occasional problems. Prepare by setting up content filtering for sensitive topics and IP restrictions for repeat rule breakers. Create clear procedures for emergency situations and establish fair appeal processes for moderation decisions. Document major incidents to help prevent similar issues.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that automated systems work best alongside human judgment. Good moderators explain rules patiently, provide context for decisions, and help new members understand community norms. This balanced approach creates a welcoming environment where members feel safe contributing while keeping the moderation workload manageable.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Start building your professional forum community today</strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Building your own forum puts you in control of your community&#8217;s future. Third-party platforms might offer quick setup, but they limit your ability to grow and adapt as your community evolves. With WordPress, you can create a fully integrated platform that connects your forum with your existing website and services.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process is straightforward: Start with reliable WordPress hosting, add bbPress for core forum functionality, and integrate Gravatar to streamline user profiles. This combination gives you everything needed to launch a professional forum:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Complete control over your platform.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flexibility to add custom features.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Simple user registration and profiles.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strong security and spam protection.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Options for premium content areas.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Gravatar integration proves particularly valuable for accelerating community growth. Members can join discussions immediately using existing profiles while you benefit from verified user identities and simplified onboarding.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to get started? <a href=\"https://docs.gravatar.com/\">Check out the Gravatar documentation</a> for detailed integration guides.

The ruling follows a November 26, 2024, hearing where the judge <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wp-engine-v-automattic-judge-inclined-to-grant-injunction-orders-status-quo\">expressed an inclination</a> to approve WP Engine&#8217;s request for injunction. Both parties were directed to collaborate on a stipulated order, but having failed to reach an agreement, they submitted competing proposals on December 2, 2024.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Court directed Automattic and Matt Mullenweg to immediately stop:</p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Blocking or interfering with WP Engine’s access to WordPress.org.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Disrupting WP Engine’s control over its plugins hosted on WordPress.org.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Interfering with WP Engine-related WordPress installations via unauthorized auto-migration or updates.</li>\n</ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Also within 72 hours, Automattic and Matt must:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Remove WP Engine customer data from the “domains.csv” file on the <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/automattic-launches-wp-engine-tracker-to-monitor-sites-leaving-wp-engine-sparking-controversy\">WP Engine Tracker website</a>.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restore WP Engine’s <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wp-engine-banned-from-using-wordpress-org-resources\">WordPress.org access</a>, including employee login credentials, to the state of September 20, 2024.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove the <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wordpress-org-login-gets-mandatory-affiliation-checkbox-following-wp-engine-dispute\">mandatory checkbox</a> on the WordPress.org login page.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reinstate WP Engine’s access to the<a href=\"https://wptavern.com/acf-plugin-forked-to-secure-custom-fields-plugin\"> Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)</a> plugin.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In granting the injunction, the Court evaluated the four Winter elements.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Success on the Merits</strong>: The Court found that WPEngine is likely to succeed on the merits of its intentional interference with contractual relations claim and Automattic’s arguments do not compel a different conclusion.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Irreparable Harm</strong>: The court determined that WP Engine’s evidence of harm, including the loss of a $40,000 client contract, was persuasive. Defendants countered with four arguments but “None is persuasive.” The court accepted that WPEngine will suffer irreparable harm without preliminary injunctive relief.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Balance of Equities</strong>: Banning WP Engine from accessing WordPress.org, taking over ACF plugin, and the additional burdens imposed on WPEngine’s customers demonstrates that WPEngine has a significant interest in obtaining preliminary injunctive relief and Automattic’s arguments in opposition do not establish that they will suffer any damage that overrides WPEngine’s interest in obtaining relief. Thus the balance of hardships tips in favor of WP Engine.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Public Interest</strong>: The court said the public consequences of withholding injunctive relief are significant as Mullenweg himself acknowledges that more than 40% of all websites run on WordPress. Those who depend on WordPress&#8217;s stability should not be forced to endure the uncertainty, financial losses, and increased operational costs arising from the ongoing dispute between the parties. Thus, “the final Winter element – the public interest – weighs in favor of granting preliminary injunctive relief.”</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Court accepted WP Engine’s claims of irreparable harm, citing losses of existing and potential customers, damage to customer relationships, market share erosion, harm to goodwill and reputation, and broader negative impacts on the WordPress community.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>WP Engine told the court that the company experienced a 14% increase in the average number of daily cancellation requests between September 26 and 30, and an increase of 17% in cancellation requests between October 1 and October 14, as compared to September 1 through September 25. The Court concluded that WP Engine would suffer irreparable harm without injunctive relief.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Court also declined to require WPEngine to post a bond as “the Court finds that any harm to Defendants resulting from the issuance of preliminary injunctive relief is unlikely, as it merely requires them to revert to business as usual as of September 20, 2024.”</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Automattic responded to the ruling on <a href=\"https://x.com/automattic/status/1866644684057248090\">Twitter</a>, “Today’s ruling is a preliminary order designed to maintain the status quo. It was made without the benefit of discovery, our motion to dismiss, or the counterclaims we will be filing against WP Engine shortly.

My name is Nathan Wrigley.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jukebox is a podcast which is dedicated to all things WordPress. The people, the events, the plugins, the blocks, the themes, and in this case, optimizing images in your WordPress projects.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to subscribe to the podcast, you can do that by searching for WP Tavern in your podcast player of choice. Or by going to wptavern.com/feed/podcast. And you can copy that URL into most podcast players.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a topic that you&#8217;d like us to feature on the podcast, I&#8217;m keen to hear from you and hopefully get you, or your idea, featured on the show. Head to wptavern.com/contact/jukebox and use the form there.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So on the podcast today, we have Corey Maass. Corey has been building for the web since 1996, with a focus on WordPress since 2011. He started his first SaaS app in 2004, and is launched dozens since. For over 10 years, he&#8217;s combined his love for entrepreneurship and WordPress by building, launching, and selling numerous WordPress plugins and SaaS apps built on WordPress. Currently he&#8217;s focused on the OMGIMG WordPress plugin.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this episode, Corey talks about the role of social media, and your websites, presence on social platforms. He talks about how optimized web sharing images are important in today&#8217;s digital landscape. He explains how shareable webpages on platforms like X, and Facebook, drive online traffic more than direct visits, and emphasizes the power of third party endorsements in adding credibility and authenticity.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>He discusses the need for efficient, user-friendly, solutions built for this task, right inside of WordPress. A time-saver for anyone tasked with updating content in multiple places.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Corey also talks about the latest technological advancements, including WebAssembly, and how modern image formats like WebP and AVIF can offer higher quality images with smaller file sizes.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>We get into the challenges and future improvements due to come in the WordPress Media Library. The significance of dedicated tools for image creation, and how Corey&#8217;s OMGIMG plugin leverages is in-browser capabilities to simplify image handling without relying on server side processes.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Towards the end, Corey shares his insights on how custom social images can enhance engagement and conversions, and the importance of optimized images in improving online content presentation.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re a WordPress user looking to streamline your workflow, and boost your social media game, this episode is for you.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in finding out more, you can find all of the links in the show notes by heading to wptavern.com/podcast, where you&#8217;ll find all the other episodes</p>\n\n\n\n<p>as well. And so, without further delay, I bring you Corey Maass.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am joined on the podcast today by Corey Maass. Hello Corey.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:03:35] <strong>Corey Maass:</strong> Hello.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:03:36] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Very nice to have you with us. Corey&#8217;s joining us today and we&#8217;re going to talk about images, which we haven&#8217;t done for the longest amount of time. It may seem like images are, well, a pretty obvious subject, but there&#8217;s a load more to it, especially in the recent past. Things have been changing within browsers and within WordPress.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Corey, just before we begin that, I wonder, would you mind just telling us a little bit about your background, especially with WordPress, and some of the things that you&#8217;ve created in the WordPress space. I know you&#8217;ve been on the podcast before, but people might like to hear it again, or if they&#8217;ve never heard your voice, they&#8217;d hear it for the first time.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:04:06] <strong>Corey Maass:</strong> I honestly have to describe what I look like. There&#8217;s no end of irony that we&#8217;re going to talk about imagery on an audio only podcast. I also got all dressed up. I&#8217;m here in a bird suit, with a mohawk, and disco ball glasses, but nobody can see it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there is something to be said, I mean, maybe we&#8217;ve actually made a higher level point here of just how powerful imagery can be.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, hello, hello. I&#8217;m Cory Maass. I currently live in New Hampshire in the northeast of the United States. I&#8217;ve been building websites since the late nineties. Yes, I am that old. Experienced, wizened.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I caught the SaaS entrepreneurial bug in the early two thousands, and so I&#8217;ve got a long history of building websites, building web apps, trying to build businesses online.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along the way WordPress started taking off, and I think I got started around 2010 with WordPress. For a long, long time was building WordPress websites for clients during the day as a freelancer, and then working on SaaS apps and other products at night. And then at some point went to, I was living in Nashville at the time, and I went to WordCamp Atlanta and met a bunch of people who were building successful businesses within WordPress, off of plugins in particular. And I went, what am I doing? Why am I separating, keeping these things separated?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever since then, my focus has been, I still freelance during the day, but also building products and services around WordPress, because WordPress just keeps getting bigger and bigger, and people seem to like it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:05:41] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Do you want to just tell us some of the products that you&#8217;ve had? I mean, some of them may have come and gone. I&#8217;m not sure if they&#8217;ve all stood the test of time, but it&#8217;d be interesting to hear the range of things that you&#8217;ve built.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:05:51] <strong>Corey Maass:</strong> Yeah, the first big product that I built was Kanban Board, so kind of a Trello built into WordPress. Because at the time I was CTO at a music startup. It was Nashville after all. And running a small tech team, we didn&#8217;t need any of the big, big Jira style project management suites. And being a typical developer, I can&#8217;t bring myself to use somebody else&#8217;s product. I have to build it myself.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I actually saw value, since we&#8217;re dipping into, at least my original vision was we were dipping into WordPress all day, every day. And if I&#8217;m working with clients who are signing into WordPress, why make them sign into something else?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then also GDPR was starting to take hold. There were a lot more concerns about privacy and where is your data stored, and especially for project management, a lot of this stuff can be proprietary.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so I ran that for a handful of years. Grew it to some success, but never enough to become my day job. It was a lot of fun. Some interesting use cases. It wound up being used more by small HVAC companies, you don&#8217;t know what that is. Heating and air conditioning type companies, because most of them had some sort of basic WordPress brochure site. And then they had, somebody&#8217;s nephew worked in house as the, quote unquote, IT guy. And so here&#8217;s just an easy way to get everybody to use a simple project management, or in this case more like sales tracking going sideways, or account tracking.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Somebody had called and made an appointment, the truck is out, the repairs are done, we&#8217;ve ordered the parts, blah, blah, blah. You know, as you move across columns.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sold that, probably five years ago now, and then started, very typical developer. So I&#8217;m also a musician, DJ and music producer, and was doing more marketing for myself as a musician for a while there. Again, typical developer, everybody around me was using Linktree as a, that one pager. About.me is another one. Or Carrd, with two Rs is another one.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typical me, I was like, I will not pay $8 a month. I will dedicate hundreds of hours of my life to build my own. But I actually, again, I saw a good use case inside WordPress, and it was an interesting experience because I did submit a free version to the plugin repo, and the plugin team initially pushed back hard because they&#8217;re like, you basically built WordPress inside WordPress. Why would you do this?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I&#8217;m like, there&#8217;s a difference between all of the pages on your website and the one page, mobile friendly, landing page that you&#8217;re going to link to from all of your socials. Very different use case.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>They did eventually approve it. Ran that for a few years, but it was never, again, I built it because I could, not because I was really so impassioned with it. I used it, I still actually use it. But then I sold that two years ago at WordCamp US. I stood up in the cafeteria and held up a placard, that&#8217;s not true, but did meet with the buyer at WordCamp US, which was great because we got to actually go over all the documentation and everything in person. And he took that and ran with it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was offloading that. Again, I built it because I could, not because I really was in love with that concept. And then also I had started working with Cory Miller on what was to become OMGIMG, which is my current plugin that I&#8217;m building, promoting, pushing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast forward to now where, again, freelancing during the day, but also working hard to flush out the product that I&#8217;m currently working on called OMGIMG, which builds featured images, generates featured images edits, featured images, but also open graph images, the images that you see when you share a URL on Twitter, now X, or Facebook, or LinkedIn, or any of those. That little preview that you see, that image, that&#8217;s called an open graph image. A lot of people just call it the social image. But it&#8217;s kind of a hole in a lot of people&#8217;s WordPress websites, and so that&#8217;s the problem I&#8217;m trying to solve.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:09:50] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> We&#8217;ll get into that I think a little bit later, because it&#8217;d be really interesting to think about whether a featured image has certain success criteria attached to it, if you know what I mean. Especially if you want to deploy it in certain places, like maybe a YouTube thumbnail image, or something like that, or a blog post image. I wonder if there&#8217;s certain criteria which tick boxes for success and otherwise.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But before we get to that, I think it&#8217;s really interesting, if you rewound the clock 25 years, the internet was text, basically it was just text. It was a bunch of texts with hyperlinks and that was it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast forward, images come along. And now really it&#8217;s more or less everything. It&#8217;s audio, it&#8217;s video, and increasingly I think audio and video are kind of, especially video, are really taking over. It&#8217;s dramatic what can be done on the internet more broadly, including apps and things like that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But images, a seriously important part of it. And if you were to strip out images from just about any website that you visit on a daily basis, and take a look at it. It would probably feel, kind of a poor version of the original. So images are really important.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the longest time, we&#8217;ve been familiar with the image formats of JPEG and PNG, that&#8217;s how I pronounce it. I&#8217;m sorry, I know people pronounce it in different ways, like ping and so on. But more recently there&#8217;s been some images, new formats coming along out of some different companies. So for example, Google, I think were behind the WebP image format. And I don&#8217;t know who&#8217;s behind the AVIF image format, but I know that&#8217;s gaining in popularity.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The browser support, depending on which month you&#8217;re listening to this in will be different. But it&#8217;s climbing and climbing, to the point where I think most of those image formats can be fairly used.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s a whole environmental debate about pushing pixels around, and whether or not that&#8217;s good for the environment. You know, a large image that doesn&#8217;t need to be large is pointless and wasteful.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then you&#8217;ve got things like SVGs, scalable vector graphics. The point is it&#8217;s complicated, and it&#8217;s getting more complicated.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where are we right now in terms of the state of images? Should we now no longer be using things like JPEGs and PNGs? Should we be using these more modern WebPs and AVIF formats?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:11:53] <strong>Corey Maass:</strong> 50, 50. There&#8217;s no right answer, or there&#8217;s no clear answer. It&#8217;s Google, right? So they were hyping their new format, which in many instances is better. In that you can push higher quality images, bigger images, essentially by having a file size be smaller, they will be delivered faster.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I&#8217;ve found that it&#8217;s not a hundred percent better. It was supposed to be the silver bullet. But I mean, there&#8217;s a reason why these other image standards came along and have stuck around for so long, they have solved a problem, right? And at the end of the day, there are still zeros and ones behind all of this. And so you can only push things so far. You can only encode so much data at such a small size or whatever.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So there&#8217;s no harm in using these things. Personally I struggle with, this is a very edge case scenario, but I struggle with these other formats because they don&#8217;t download easily and, or you can&#8217;t necessarily download them and then view them in other apps, or you can&#8217;t drag them from window to window. And most people don&#8217;t use the internet like I use the internet, I&#8217;m a developer, and site maintainer, and whatnot. So I&#8217;m constantly interacting with things. But that&#8217;s another little thing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So for me, what I advise most of my clients to do is stick with PNG if it&#8217;s graphics, big blocks of color. JPEG if it&#8217;s photo, lots of detail, gradients. And then we use a plugin. And there are a number of plugins for WordPress that will convert to these other formats. And so then you kind of don&#8217;t have to worry about the delivery.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the other thing that we&#8217;re running into now is people taking pictures with their phones, which again ends up being HEIC, another format, which is not easily, previewable in some apps, depending on what platform you use and yada, yada, yada.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So these days it&#8217;s complicated. Pictures should be a picture, should be a picture in theory. But from a tech standpoint, there&#8217;s all these different formats, and there&#8217;s these different aspects to it. I generally have my clients, I try to get them to compress images before they upload. But there are also services that will run in the background and compress images. But if it&#8217;s done automatically, there&#8217;s nobody there to see it. If an image is compressed on a server, but there&#8217;s nobody there to see it, did it really happen?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But realistically, you know, you&#8217;d rather have somebody compress it locally, verify that it looks good before uploading it, and then WordPress might resize it anyway, which might undo some of the compression and on, and on, and on.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:14:20] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I think WordPress has taken quite a few interesting steps in terms of images in the more recent past. I couldn&#8217;t point to the exact version number, not off the top of my head, or the date and month when it happened, but in the more recent past, WordPress has taken the initiative in cropping, for want of a better word, the file size of an image.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you upload some gigantic image and you haven&#8217;t in some way fiddled with your WordPress website, it&#8217;s now going to scale that back to, I think it&#8217;s something like two and half thousand pixels wide by whatever the dimensions would be for its height.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:14:50] <strong>Corey Maass:</strong> Which is sensible.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:14:50] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, I mean most people looking at that, even on a large monitor, it would still be pretty acceptable. But the idea would be cut out waste. Delete the original one which has no purpose sort of living anywhere, because it&#8217;s never going to be displayed.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But also, WordPress in this version that just got released, so 6.7 just the other day, is starting to convert HEIC images, which you mentioned, which I believe is an Apple format.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:15:15] <strong>Corey Maass:</strong> High efficiency image file format.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:15:18] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> The idea being that an iPhone creates these, and if you are in the Apple ecosystem, and you view everything on Apple products, you would never know that that was a quirky image format that not everything can view.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:15:29] <strong>Corey Maass:</strong> Until you try to upload it to various platforms.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:15:31] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Right, and until 6.7 in WordPress, if you tried to upload it to WordPress, it would do nothing. Now, because it&#8217;s non-viewable in most browsers.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:15:40] <strong>Corey Maass:</strong> Safari only.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:15:41] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, I was going to say, I expect that Safari would be the one that it would be available on, given that it&#8217;s Apple&#8217;s own browser. WordPress will now do a conversion on the fly and turn it into an equivalent JPEG, without you having to think.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If I was to talk to a non-technical user, so just walk down the street, find some random user of the internet, but has no history with web development and just ask them, what&#8217;s a PNG? What&#8217;s a jpeg? What&#8217;s an HEIC? I don&#8217;t know. No idea, and I don&#8217;t care. Do you like looking at pictures online? Yes. Do you know what image format it is? No. And they don&#8217;t want to know.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it is the kind of technology which you hope would go away. You know, you don&#8217;t really want to, in a WordPress website, care about any of this. You just want it all to work. But I suppose the stumbling block is the browser support. If, for example, WebP is non-visible, I don&#8217;t know, I&#8217;m guessing here, in Firefox, then that&#8217;s a problem and you have to fall back to previous defaults that will work like JPEG. So it&#8217;s an interesting time that we live in.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:16:34] <strong>Corey Maass:</strong> We&#8217;ve gone through this before. I remember when PNG came out and you had to have a fallback from JPEG to PNG. The oscillations will lessen. There&#8217;s a less nerdy way to say that. It&#8217;ll smooth itself out in the end.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But yeah, you&#8217;re absolutely right. To me it&#8217;s analogous to people who are growing up with the internet now, often don&#8217;t know what a file is, because they&#8217;re just used to working in the cloud, right? So open a document, ie, click on a link so that you&#8217;re viewing it. But there&#8217;s no sense of putting it somewhere on your hard drive, and then having an index that points to it kind of thing, right? It&#8217;s just a list of files, and you click on them, and everything in the browser.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And frankly, that&#8217;s how it should be. There&#8217;s reasons to download files for backup purposes and to not have Google own everything that you do. Not that they don&#8217;t already have a copy. But aside from that, we&#8217;d like it to be, and most of the internet works just fine in that you can take a picture, upload it to Instagram, regardless of what kind of device you&#8217;re on, and show it to the world. And that&#8217;s kind of how we want the internet to work. But yeah, from a technical standpoint, in the background there are all these little levers and gears that need to run.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:17:44] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, it&#8217;s interesting. If you look on an iPhone, typically, if you take a picture it just goes into, let&#8217;s call it the camera roll. And the camera roll just feels like a bucket. It&#8217;s not a file system, is it? It&#8217;s just, you open the photos app, look there, they all are, and they&#8217;re organised by date. But there&#8217;s no notion that that is a file. Look, it&#8217;s the picture, there&#8217;s the picture.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I think to some extent we&#8217;ve got the same thing in WordPress, haven&#8217;t you? With the Media Library. It&#8217;s just, well, where are your pictures? Well, they&#8217;re in that thing there. It&#8217;s called the Media Library, and you click on it with no conception that there&#8217;s a whole stack of different things going on in the background to upload them into files on a server somewhere, which are organized possibly by date or what have you. And it&#8217;s all going on in background, but nobody wants to know for a good reason.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:18:24] <strong>Corey Maass:</strong> WordPress natively puts your images in a year, and then month directory, but that&#8217;s not represented in the Media Library, which is just confounding. You never stop seeing requests on Reddit, or Twitter, or wherever, and even a client came to me recently and was like, can we have folders in the Media Library?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I&#8217;m like, there are a couple of plugins, and I&#8217;ve tried them over the years with degrees of success, I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;ve ironed out the wrinkles at this point. When I tried them five years ago when I was like, I really want directories, I found that they bogged the site down because they were constantly running in the background. I&#8217;m sure, again, most tech has been updated, but bugs have been fixed.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it&#8217;s a dump, right? And so you hope that, in this day and age, yet another compelling reason like, please, anybody who ever uploads an image, give it a good alt tag for all the right reasons. But if you&#8217;re selfish, if nothing else, the fringe benefit is that the words and the alt tag are what are going to let you search for your images. Also give it a caption, also give it a title.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But all of these things are how you&#8217;re going to find images. Otherwise, like one of my primary client websites is a magazine that&#8217;s been online for 12 years. There&#8217;s 12, literally 12,000 posts, and tens of thousands of images. And so trying to find something from last year, you just can&#8217;t. You&#8217;re just scrolling, scrolling, scrolling. Skimming, skimming, skimming, and dumb luck if your eye happens to fall on the right image at the right time. Like, there&#8217;s just no coming back from that basically. Like you said, it&#8217;s just one big camera roll.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:19:58] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> It would be kind of nice, and I think that there&#8217;s initiatives to really wrangle the Media Library into something a little bit more akin to something usable for the edge cases that you described. But it&#8217;s the 80 20 rule in WordPress, isn&#8217;t it? You know, if 80% of the people need it, then it will be put into Core.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:20:17] <strong>Corey Maass:</strong> And there are, again, a couple of great plugins for adding essentially virtual, but it feels real, directories. The problem is, right, you have to, essentially it&#8217;s the same as tagging posts. And so you really want to have started that at the beginning. I pulled this site over from, it was a Drupal. I wound up migrating this site over from Drupal with, again, 12,000 posts, and tens of thousands of images, damage done.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>We could start putting images in directories now, not actually a bad thing, but we&#8217;re relying largely on tags, on descriptions on recent, the fact that they float to the top essentially. Because it ends up adding more complexity. Like there&#8217;s definitely a lot of use cases for having media directories. I would really love a directory, or a folder, a virtual folder that has logos and other assets like that in it, so that you always know where to go grab the right logo, formatted correctly. Maybe it&#8217;s got a transparent background or not. Black on white, white on black, these kinds of things.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But all of the images that go with posts, given that we publish half a dozen every day, those images are going to end up going down, down, down anyway. How would you categorise them other than month and day, which hopefully we could pick up from the actual directories that they&#8217;re in on the server kind of thing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:21:41] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> It&#8217;d be kind of interesting in the future to see if AI could do a job of backfilling. As an example, here are all the images of cats in your WordPress website. Here&#8217;s every image that&#8217;s got some background transparency in it. Here are things which we suspect might be logos, here&#8217;s everything with blue in it, and you get the idea. And in that way, the AI could probably backfill it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you&#8217;re right, I would basically want something a bit like the options that you have in the Finder or Windows Explorer inside the Media Library. So the option to, I don&#8217;t know, zoom in so that the icons become really large. If I pull some kind of slider left and right I can increase the size, decrease the size. I can put them in a list view. I can see by folder structure, that would be really great.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But obviously for historical reasons, that&#8217;s not what WordPress did. And we&#8217;ve got stuck with the legacy of it. But like I say, the work is being done to modify that, and we&#8217;ll have to see as 2025 rolls along, not the theme, the year. We&#8217;ll see if any of that has an impact, I think it will.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other thing to say is that there&#8217;s some interesting work going on with technologies like WebAssembly to do a lot of interesting things within the browser. So I will link in the show notes to some videos that I saw probably six months ago, maybe more now, by a Googler who&#8217;s in the WordPress space called Pascal Birchler. And he has been working on blocks which consume, for example, let&#8217;s say a JPEG. You drag a JPEG in from your computer. Drag it onto the block editor. The block editor will then recognise that that&#8217;s an image. But you would tell that block, okay, every time a JPEG is put up, please convert it into a PNG, for example, or whatever you like, and make it this dimension. So crop it in this way, in that way.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And all of that is happening kind of interestingly, not by sending it off to some server somewhere, which is what typically happens now, but it&#8217;s happening inside the browser. The browser and your local computer are doing all the necessary grunt work to make that happen. And it happens right in front of your eyes in a heartbeat. So by the time you&#8217;ve dragged it in and it&#8217;s taken, you know, a few milliseconds really to display it on the screen, it&#8217;s all happened. And you are now looking at the result of that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And he&#8217;s also been working on video in the same way, you know, cropping video, and minimising the footprint of video, and what have you. It&#8217;s really interesting work. An easier time of it in the future with images, and videos, and things like that, and the browser handling a lot of the heavy lifting.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:24:03] <strong>Corey Maass:</strong> This is the modern web. There&#8217;s so much that JavaScript can now do, and it&#8217;s been moved a little bit to the server side, or it can be moved to the server side, which I think in part is what has empowered it to become more powerful in the front end browser.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So as you and I are sitting here chatting, we are looking at each other and recording this, and a lot of this is just going to be in browser functionality. It&#8217;s not necessarily relying on some connection to some server. You hope it does, so that if my computer shuts down, I don&#8217;t lose everything.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this is what allows a lot of the web apps that we&#8217;re now seeing to function, including my own OMGIMG plugin is image rendering in the browser. It&#8217;s incredibly powerful, it&#8217;s not totally foolproof, but it gives you most of the options for most of the things that you need. And I&#8217;m seeing, recently I was looking at a library that was using React, which is essentially a framework for JavaScript, that would let you build or design, and then render out videos.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so I was specifically looking at it for a new webpage that I&#8217;m building, I want to have an explainer, so-called explainer video at the top. Click on this to see a demo of the product kind of thing. And rather than trying to capture footage of a screencast of me clicking around, and then dragging that into iMovie or something, and editing it all together. Actually using JavaScript to programmatically say, grab these frames, or grab this screenshot. Put them together in such and such a way, click a button, and then it&#8217;ll download an MP4 that I can do whatever with.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And all of it in the browser. That&#8217;s the backend, and then there&#8217;s front end products. Like I know that Canva, incredibly powerful browser editor. Also like you said, WebAssembly. And so it&#8217;s JavaScript and good product development combined with these very, very powerful in browser capabilities that we have now, libraries. There&#8217;s so much we can do, and again, so much less of it relies on external services or the server.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was actually one of the things that, when Corey and I first came up with the idea for OMG, I had already built an external service for taking screenshots. And then when I went back and looked at it, I was like, wait, I can just do this in the browser. Like I don&#8217;t actually have to talk to a third party. And it was one of the initial differentiators and still maybe, I think it is still. So compared to the few other products that do similar things, most of them rely on talking to a third party product, or talking to the backend, and OMG is entirely in the browser.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So there&#8217;s fewer concerns about tech requirements. There&#8217;s fewer concerns about privacy. There&#8217;s fewer concerns about bandwidth or whatever. Like WordPress wants to be self-contained. That&#8217;s one of the things that&#8217;s always been great about it, and why I&#8217;ve long advocated for, if you have a WordPress install, turn it into whatever you want it to be.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>You know, use it to run your business, let it do product management, or let it be your to-do list, or all these things, because it&#8217;s essentially an operating system and you can run software within that operating system and you control it all.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so with that ethos in mind, here&#8217;s a way that you can generate images, manipulate images, or as the example you brought up, also video. But imagine doing all of that built right into a thing that you own safely on the internet, you&#8217;re not reliant on third party products or whatnot. You just have to have a modern enough computer, and probably a browser like Chrome.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:27:38] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I do remember when Google first launched their Chromebook initiative, and I remember thinking, what&#8217;s the point of that? You know, it&#8217;s got no memory, as in storage, why would anybody want that? And as time has crept on, we&#8217;re probably a decade or more into that project, I kind of see the utility of it more and more. I mean, in my case, I&#8217;d still want some of the power that the operating system that I prefer has. So for example, doing audio editing, you&#8217;ll know about that, and video editing. There&#8217;s just so much that needs a bit of horsepower.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But for a typical user, I think we are reaching the point where the browser can do the vast majority of what you want it to do. And WordPress can be the fulcrum of that. I mean, it won&#8217;t do everything unless somebody builds a credible plugin for it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But your example is perfect. So we are recording on an online platform at the moment. We&#8217;re both in a browser. We&#8217;re watching the video. It&#8217;s recording the audio. It&#8217;s sending that data synchronously to some server somewhere so that there&#8217;s a backup if we get cut off. It can have up to 10 people doing the same thing at the same time.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve got a similar piece of software, which will then allow me to edit the video in real time, again, all in the browser. And really, if you weren&#8217;t technical, and you were to look at it, you would imagine that it was some app that I downloaded from the Mac App Store or what have you. But it&#8217;s not, it&#8217;s just sitting inside the browser, and it is pretty remarkable.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think the future in terms of what blocks will bring, and the fact that blocks can be sometimes like a little atomised app if you like. You know, it can handle app-like functionality within it, I think it&#8217;s going to be curious what people do in the future.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So let&#8217;s just turn our attention to your plugin then. First of all, the URL omgimg.co, so .co, go and find that. Is this an endeavor to get people to go the last mile? You know that final thing that you&#8217;ve got to do every time you write a blog post, which is the featured image. And it&#8217;s the last thing that you want to do at that moment because you&#8217;ve already spent hours creating and crafting the text.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And you&#8217;re finally hit with that, oh really? And then you&#8217;ve got to go and open up Canva or Photoshop and spend time doing something that you probably don&#8217;t have the skillset to do. Have I kind of got the idea there? It&#8217;s just a dead easy drop in for, here&#8217;s a templated way of doing it, click some buttons, you&#8217;re off to the races.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:29:57] <strong>Corey Maass:</strong> Yeah. That was the problem that we originally were looking at solving. You&#8217;re, generating content, you&#8217;re writing long blog posts, or short blog posts, up to you. Or even uploading products into WooCommerce, or whatever it is that you are using WordPress for.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if it&#8217;s a thing that&#8217;s going to be shared, there is this social image. And there&#8217;s this misconception that a lot of people have, which is that the featured image is also the social image. And it&#8217;s true because it can be true, but it doesn&#8217;t have to be true. And you&#8217;re honestly doing yourself a disservice by not differentiating these two things.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of SEO plugins very correctly will try their best, they will go and grab the featured image, or the first image that they find inside the content of whatever post you&#8217;ve published, and serve that up, and if not, they will default to a, probably a site-wide image that you&#8217;ve uploaded.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the idea here is yeah, the hard work, and what we&#8217;ve experienced, and I think a lot of people experience is not necessarily, I mean, it&#8217;s hard enough writing words. If you&#8217;re writing blog posts, it&#8217;s hard enough writing words, or if you&#8217;ve recorded a podcast episode and you&#8217;ve uploaded it, you&#8217;ve spent hours, and hours, and hours editing it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then you groan because you pull up your reusable to-do list and go, okay, now what are all the things I&#8217;ve got to do? Now I&#8217;ve got to categorise it. Now I&#8217;ve got to tag it. Now I&#8217;ve got to grab a transcript. Now I&#8217;ve got to find a featured image. Now I&#8217;ve got to upload the featured image.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:31:26] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> You&#8217;ve just described my life, Corey.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:31:28] <strong>Corey Maass:</strong> And I want to give you a hug. And that&#8217;s the good and bad of what we do, right? We want to be the rockstar millionaire or whatever, who is like, I&#8217;ve appeared on camera, and now I walk away, and all the talent, you know, all my underlings can go and do all the other work. But most of us are independent on some level, and subsequently are trapped to a desk doing most of the hard work ourselves. The boring work, the grinding, right?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And one of those things, as we found, was finding a stock photo is sort of a different thing because it kind of depends on what it is you&#8217;re doing. Most people kind of have a source for that. But there&#8217;s a really strong argument for a featured image that is edited. Meaning it&#8217;s got words on it. It&#8217;s got a logo on it. It&#8217;s color edited so that it matches your branding, your site. Because just uploading the first picture that you find on Unsplash, just like everybody else, is not going to do your content any good.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like a lot of people correctly believe that adding a photo does lead to more conversions, but just adding some stock photo isn&#8217;t the right answer. So taking that a step further, making that image good, cropping it to the right size, enhancing it essentially. And then the next thing would be the image for social, which is often based off of that featured image.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But we found last year that Twitter actually got rid of the title. If you share a website, it used to have the social image, and then it used to have the title of the website, and a description, and the URL, like Facebook still has this, LinkedIn still has this, Slack and other services that&#8217;ll pull in this preview still have it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twitter got rid of it because they were like, most people, they&#8217;re just lying, or they&#8217;re just adding crappy content, and or some wanting to be more like Instagram. They&#8217;re like, we are photo only. And so you need something more than just an image because just an image, it&#8217;s a picture of Nathan&#8217;s smiling face, it&#8217;s like, I might click on it, I might not click on it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those of you listening, because we are not on video, he just smiled ear to ear. Hamming it up as usual in the background. People go, oh, it&#8217;s Nathan, but why? I don&#8217;t know what he&#8217;s promoting. I don&#8217;t know what he&#8217;s talking about. I don&#8217;t know why he&#8217;s, maybe he&#8217;s just happy today. You need a title that says, Nathan Interviews genius developer named Corey. You know, words on an image so that people go, oh, this is why I should click on this. It&#8217;s a small thing, but it&#8217;s a very powerful thing. And this is largely the problem I&#8217;m solving.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:33:53] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I remember speaking recently with Jamie Marsland, he&#8217;s an Automattician, so he&#8217;s employed by Automattic, and his job title is the head of WordPress YouTube, and so he&#8217;s in charge of that channel. And I know that I could have found this information out elsewhere, but he really was the first person who&#8217;d kind of described it to me.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>He spent a long time researching images that would be the thumbnail image on YouTube because the attention span on YouTube, I think is prodigious low. You really are competing in a marketplace of milliseconds. And if for a fleeting moment you manage to get your featured image in front of somebody, you&#8217;ve got to convert it almost immediately.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so there&#8217;s kind of a playbook if you like, and I haven&#8217;t yet talked to Jamie about what that playbook is, but he does say that he spends a lot of time playing with the featured image, just because he knows now what works, and what converts, and what doesn&#8217;t. And it may not be that he&#8217;s got it perfected, and I imagine that algorithm over time will change or what have you. But there is some kind of psychology behind what&#8217;s going to work, and the kind of text to put on there, and whether it&#8217;s a, I don&#8217;t know, a question, or what the kind of font is.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And we see patterns, don&#8217;t we? We see popular ways of doing it. So for the longest time, we&#8217;ve seen, on YouTube videos, featured images, we&#8217;ve seen shocked looking people with a background, and they&#8217;ve got like a little white border around their cut out picture of themselves and so on. And everybody&#8217;s doing it. And if everybody&#8217;s doing it, there&#8217;s probably something effective about that. You know, not everybody can be doing it if it doesn&#8217;t work.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:35:20] <strong>Corey Maass:</strong> Look at movie posters. That was how it was explained to me first. All these movie posters for most movies these days look the same. It&#8217;s a montage of all the characters in kind of a pyramid, in a triangle with the title at the bottom, right? Like, there&#8217;s a reason why it sells. And at some point, I mean, just like any advertising or any trends in advertising, we eventually become immune to it, and so it probably has to change.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But yeah, the YouTube thumbnails, another perfect example, and actually something that I&#8217;m starting to look at for OMG as well, which is essentially generating a media kit. So it&#8217;s like, if you create a post, also create a square image for Instagram, and also create a thumbnail for YouTube.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But yeah, there&#8217;s an immense amount of psychology that goes into this stuff. And a lot of it is just, also as you said, what people have gotten used to. But it also, there&#8217;s at least some element of AB testing, or experimenting for your own audience, because kids on YouTube are going to react differently, or click on different things than developers, or techy people, or WordPress people.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then, yeah, do you look shocked? What word do you put over your head? Do you put question marks? Is it a question that people want answered? Is it you looking satisfied because you&#8217;ve figured something out? You have to figure out how to take the content that is in that video and then convey that in one compelling image.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I&#8217;ve heard from a lot of the YouTube folks that they record their content and then spend the next five minutes striking various poses. It looks like they&#8217;re voguing. They&#8217;ve got to look shocked, and they&#8217;ve got to look angry, and they&#8217;ve got to look frustrated. And then later they go back through and go, well, maybe this one, this one I&#8217;m squinting. Okay, not that one. But yeah, this is the one, you know? And a lot, a lot of time gets spent on those thumbnails because it&#8217;s the poster for your movie.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:37:07] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> What&#8217;s the workflow for OMGIMG then? If I&#8217;m in a WordPress, let&#8217;s say a blog post, let&#8217;s use that example, and I&#8217;ve written it out, I&#8217;m very happy with it, in every way I&#8217;m ready to go. I&#8217;ve got my SEO settings all done, and the text is ready and optimised and what have you. But the only thing that&#8217;s missing is some kind of imagery. How does it work? Do I click a button and then I&#8217;m interacting with some kind of editor that you provide? What&#8217;s going on?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:37:29] <strong>Corey Maass:</strong> The big update that I made earlier this year was shifting from essentially a Canva style editor in WordPress, which still exists, but you now use that predominantly to create a template. So you&#8217;re like, I want the featured image in the background. I want the title of my post in the lower left, and I want my logo in the top right, and a border or something.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And you save that as a template, and so now as part of your workflow, you finish writing, you fill out all the SEO fields, and then there&#8217;s a little button, an OMG meta box off to the side, and you click generate, and it opens a little window and you choose the preset, the template that you want to use. It creates the image in three seconds or less, and you hit save and you&#8217;re done.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:38:12] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Do you at that point get to, I don&#8217;t know, overwrite the texts, or write the title, or does it just consume the title from the blog post?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:38:19] <strong>Corey Maass:</strong> It just consumes the content right now. I am adding, it has been requested that, oh, well for this, maybe I want to tweak the featured image slightly, or I want to take a word out of the title because it&#8217;s too long for the template that I built, kind of thing. So that&#8217;s coming soon, to be able to tweak those things slightly.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I&#8217;ve heard from most of my customers, users, is that what they care the most about is, again, abbreviating that workflow. And so there&#8217;s a little bit of tweaking or making it perfect, but for the most part, people are like, just make it fast. Just take this line item off of my to-do list so that if I finish writing a blog post, and then I&#8217;ve finished adding all of the SEO things, and then I&#8217;ve finished finding the perfect featured image, and then I&#8217;ve finished categorising it. Don&#8217;t make me open Canva, find the document, copy a page, copy the post title over, blah, blah, blah. You get the point.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so they&#8217;re willing to have essentially that mini version. And obviously, again, I want people to be able to make it perfect, but what I&#8217;ve been hearing more than make it perfect is make it fast. And so that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m focused on.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:39:30] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, have you come across a SaaS app called RelayThat? RelayThat&#8217;s a really interesting example because its prime purpose is to, much like you&#8217;ve just described, you create a template, and then you decide where the text is going to go. And once you&#8217;ve got that template, you have basically a bunch of text fields, and you just go and copy and paste the text in.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So in your case, you could handle that natively. But you copy and paste the title in. You copy and paste, you know, in my case there might be a space here for the guest name or something like that. You might upload a featured image. In this case it would be, I&#8217;d copy and paste your name, copy and paste an image of you that you&#8217;d sent to me, and do the title. And so I&#8217;ve had to amend three fields, and then I can download it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the interesting thing that it does as well is that it will create that exact image in just every size format. So it will do it for Instagram, for YouTube, all the different ones. And it&#8217;s optimised in that way. And obviously you can go in and set each one.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it&#8217;s a real pain the first time you use it, you know, it really genuinely takes hours to get everything just how you want it and figure it all out. But then on the back end of that, it&#8217;s seconds to do, but you&#8217;ve got to open up an app, log in, dah, dah, dah, dah. Whereas I can see the utility, if you&#8217;re inside WordPress and it can do all of those kind of things. That was the closest comparison I could draw. It&#8217;s definitely worth looking at if you&#8217;ve not come across that before.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:40:52] <strong>Corey Maass:</strong> In my research for OMG, I&#8217;ve seen different apps, and also other apps that work similarly for generating banners, or generating social images, or generating whatnot. And this is part of what gave me confidence that this was a problem worth solving, because almost everybody has bought into something because it&#8217;s necessary.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this day and age, most of us want our web pages shared, right? The day of people just coming to your website over, and over, and over again, hoping that there&#8217;s new content is largely over. Unless you&#8217;re the New York Times or something. Unless you&#8217;re a destination.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the internet now is based around aggregation, which is Twitter or Facebook. And so people go to these single sources where they&#8217;re hoping that everybody has kind of dumped their stuff in, or other people have dumped other people&#8217;s stuff in. And that&#8217;s how we can consume it all in one feed. Very convenient.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this is why it&#8217;s more and more important that how you are represented on those platforms, often without knowing about it. And this is one of the things that I struggled early on to explain to, like I gave a talk about images, and open graph, and all this stuff to a meetup here in New Hampshire. And it was eye-opening because trying to explain the importance of this, and the scenario of, it&#8217;s not even about you sharing your website, it&#8217;s about Nathan sharing my website with Michelle without me knowing, right?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so it&#8217;s how I am represented without me being present. And so I need to set myself up for success for that scenario. And because it&#8217;s that third party validation is the biggest, still the most compelling sales technique, right? There&#8217;s a reason why all of us have testimonials on our landing pages. Somebody else telling somebody else about how great I am is way better than me telling them how great I am. And this is that same thing. Nathan sharing my website with somebody else is way more compelling to that other person.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>They&#8217;re going, well, I trust Nathan, smart. He&#8217;s got that fancy accent, so he must know what he&#8217;s talking about. And it lends authenticity, it lends value to whatever he&#8217;s sharing. And so if he shares that link and then a little gray box pops up. I was talking to somebody this week, they were like, yeah, I always assume that that&#8217;s spam. And I was like, wow, that&#8217;s really, really powerful, that people go, I&#8217;m really hesitant to click on this thing because it&#8217;s a gray box.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it&#8217;s the same as 25 years ago, 30 years ago, now when I first started. It was the first wave of, you are not a legitimate business if you do not have a website. And this was a compelling way for when I started my career to get clients, because I could go in and go, look, people are not taking you seriously because you don&#8217;t have a website. But it&#8217;s all these little boxes that you have to tick to represent yourself the best you can on the internet.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:43:42] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I think that&#8217;s totally true. I mean, we&#8217;re all, whether we like it or not, we are all in some way shape or form involved in social media. If you&#8217;re a business and you&#8217;re not on social media, and you remain in business, well, you&#8217;re very lucky. Most of the rest of us have to do that job.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And you are right, if you see something and there isn&#8217;t some kind of featured image attached, you do have that little spidey sense, well, that&#8217;s kind of curious and strange, that doesn&#8217;t quite look legitimate.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the ability to speed it up inside of WordPress natively is fascinating. And let&#8217;s not forget that the majority of people who are using WordPress are not the likes of you and I, who have been obsessed with computers ever since, you know, they came around. These are people who, they&#8217;re using WordPress in some kind of utilitarian way that, you know, they&#8217;ve been handed the job of creating blog posts, and the faster that they can get in and get out and do the other 3000 tasks that they&#8217;ve got on their plate this week, the better.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so, yeah, it&#8217;s an exciting time with all the technologies that are happening inside of the browser, WebAssembly and so on, but also the technologies that people like you are building inside a WordPress. Yeah, it&#8217;s fascinating.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Corey, where can we find you? If people have listened to this and they&#8217;re curious to get in touch and talk to you about images, where do we find you best?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:44:50] <strong>Corey Maass:</strong> Sure. Corey Maass, M A A S S on Twitter is where I&#8217;m most active. My company is called Gel Form, gelform.com, and of course omgimg.co.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:45:04] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Cory Maass, thank you so much for chatting to me today. I really appreciate it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:45:07] <strong>Corey Maass:</strong> Thanks for having me.</p>\n</div>\n\n\n\n<p>On the podcast today we have <a href=\"https://x.com/coreymaass\">Corey Maass</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Corey has been building for the web since 1996, with a focus on WordPress since 2011. He started his first SaaS app in 2004 and has launched dozens since. For over ten years, he’s combined his love for entrepreneurship and WordPress by building, launching, and selling numerous WordPress plugins and SaaS apps built on WordPress. Currently, he’s focused on the OMGIMG WordPress plugin.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this episode, Corey talks about the role of social media and your website’s presence on social platforms. He talks about how optimised web sharing images are important in today&#8217;s digital landscape. He explains how shareable web pages on platforms like X and Facebook drive online traffic more than direct visits, and emphasises the power of third-party endorsements in adding credibility and authenticity.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>He discusses the need for efficient, user-friendly, solutions built for this task, right inside of WordPress. A timesaver for anyone tasked with updating content in multiple places.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Corey also talks about the latest technological advancements, including WebAssembly, and how modern image formats like WebP and AVIF can offer higher-quality images with smaller file sizes.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>We get into the challenges and future improvements due to come in the WordPress Media Library, the significance of dedicated tools for image creation, and how Corey&#8217;s OMGIMG plugin leverages in-browser capabilities to simplify image handling without relying on server-side processes.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Towards the end, Corey shares his insights on how custom social images can enhance engagement and conversions, and the importance of optimised images in improving online content presentation.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re a WordPress user looking to streamline your workflow and boost your social media game, this episode is for you.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Useful links</h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://kanbanwp.com/\">Kanban for WordPress</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://linktr.ee/\">Linktree</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://about.me/\">About.me</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://carrd.co/\">Carrd</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://omgimg.co/\">OMGIMG plugin</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://x.com/swissspidy/status/1733138082591912154\">Pascal Birchler&#8217;s X thread about image manipulation in the browser</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.canva.com/\">Canva</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/wordpress\">WordPress YouTube channel</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.relaythat.com/\">RelayThat</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://gelform.com/\">Gelform website</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://x.com/coreymaass\">Corey&#8217;s on X</a></p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 11 Dec 2024 15:00:00 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:14:\"Nathan Wrigley\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:10;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:68:\"Akismet: Email Leads: 17 Proven Tactics to Generate Them Effectively\";s: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://akismet.com/?p=284252\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:37:\"https://akismet.com/blog/email-leads/\";s: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:32916:\"<p>They say the money is in the list. And it is. Having an active email list gives you a reliable source of revenue you can tap into regularly. But that means you need to be consistently attracting new email leads. Once you have them, you can nurture them, convert them into customers, motivate repeat purchases, ask for reviews, and do all the other marketing activities email makes possible with existing&nbsp;customers.</p>\n\n\n<p>So how do you get more email leads?&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<span id=\"more-284252\"></span>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-an-email lead\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is an email&nbsp;lead?</h2>\n\n\n<p>An email lead refers to anyone who has subscribed to your email list but hasn’t yet made a purchase. This is distinct from paying customers who have provided their email address and subscribed (given permission) to receive email marketing from your company.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<p>Email leads are on your email subscriber list and have also given permission to receive marketing from you, but haven’t yet made a&nbsp;purchase.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"why-are-email-leads-crucial-for-marketing-and sales\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why are email leads crucial for marketing and&nbsp;sales?</h2>\n\n\n<p>Email marketing remains one of the most profitable forms of marketing from an ROI perspective. That’s because it’s a direct line of communication to people who have asked you to send marketing to them.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, it’s relatively low-cost compared to almost every other marketing channel.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<p>When people click and make purchases in response to emails they’ve received, a larger portion of that revenue is&nbsp;profit.</p>\n\n\n<p>Email is also the easiest way to stay in touch with customers and prospects. You don’t have to hope they see your display ad, or are watching TV when your ad shows up, or happen to see your social media post while they’re busy scrolling by. Emails go straight to them.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For all these reasons, email also offers a great way to nurture and follow up with leads and customers. You can send a series of emails for one campaign. You can send thank you emails, follow-up emails, survey emails, review request emails, abandoned cart emails, welcome emails, and automated emails of many sorts.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<p>No other marketing channel allows for so much direct communication at so little cost — and with trackable&nbsp;data.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"17-ways-to-enhance-your-email-lead generation\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">17 ways to enhance your email lead&nbsp;generation</h2>\n\n\n<p>With such a valuable marketing channel, here’s a checklist you can use to level up your email lead generation.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"1-understand-your-audience-at-a-deep level\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Understand your audience at a deep&nbsp;level</h3>\n\n\n<p>Lead generation begins with knowing what your target audience wants. The idea is to offer them something that will make them say “Yes!” when asked to join your email list. They join because they want the thing you’re offering.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>As long as the thing you’re offering appeals to your target audience, a portion of them will respond to this offer and fill out your opt-in form.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"2-create-a-sense-of-urgency-or scarcity\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Create a sense of urgency or&nbsp;scarcity</h3>\n\n\n<p>With lead generation, this could mean a deadline for when a particularly appealing offer gets taken away. Maybe you just wrote a book related to your industry, and are giving away the first 100 copies to whoever joins your list. Maybe you’re giving away extra large discounts for people who join your list in the next ten days.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deadlines and scarcity like that work well to grow your list fast, in surges.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<p>But you can also use urgency that doesn’t require constantly coming up with new offers. How might this look? Urgency can also result when people feel left out. For&nbsp;example:</p>\n\n<p>“Join the community and see the juicy secrets we share every week in our&nbsp;newsletter!”</p>\n\n<p>That is the language of urgency, but it’s not tied to a deadline or a finite amount of&nbsp;something.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"3-make-your-lead-magnet irresistible\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Make your lead magnet&nbsp;irresistible</h3>\n\n\n<p>The above example also serves to demonstrate the idea of an irresistible lead magnet. The more the lead magnet aligns with things your audience cares about, the more irresistible it will be.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<img width=\"1600\" height=\"780\" src=\"https://akismet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/vip.png\" alt=\"form on the WordPress VIP site showing an example of a lead capture\" class=\"wp-image-284255\" />\n\n\n\n<p>This is why the tried and true methods like free guides, eBooks, white papers, and special reports still work wonders. As long as the content in those digital marketing documents relates to topics, desires, and needs your audience shares, they will want it badly enough to join your email list if that’s what it takes to get it.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<p>But the more perks you can throw in, the harder it will be for people to resist joining. You can also offer a combination. For example, a business could give a free report, a 20% off coupon for first&#8209;time buyers, and access to a private Facebook page for everyone who joins their email&nbsp;list.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"4-build-a-form-that-minimizes friction\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Build a form that minimizes&nbsp;friction</h3>\n\n<p>Attracting and converting email leads requires more than just a great offer. It also requires an opt&#8209;in form that works. The less cumbersome your forms, the more people will do the work required to get through them. This means, among other&nbsp;things:</p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Keep your number of form fields to a&nbsp;minimum</li>\n\n<li>Use clearly&#8209;labeled&nbsp;fields</li>\n\n<li>Consider multistep forms if you need to collect more&nbsp;information</li>\n\n\n<li>Minimize clutter</li>\n\n\n<li>Don’t bury your forms on your website in places that are easy to&nbsp;overlook</li></ul>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"5-avoid-captcha-at-all costs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Avoid CAPTCHA at all&nbsp;costs</h3>\n\n\n<p>Another common source of friction arises from a very common but extremely annoying feature of many website opt-in forms. Many website owners have been duped into thinking they need to use a CAPTCHA in order to prevent spammers and bots from clogging up their inboxes by filling out their forms over and over.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are bots and spammers a problem? Yes, very much so.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<p>But CAPTCHA is about the worst way to solve that problem. Why? Because website users hate them. Picture&nbsp;this:</p>\n\n\n<p>You have a great lead magnet. Your form is easy to use. Your offer has connected with a new lead. And they’ve gone through the work to fill out the form. And now, right before they can click the button to complete it… they have to count the motorcycles in a bunch of blurry pictures.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<p>Sounds like fun? It’s not. These little puzzles do nothing but annoy people. More importantly, they also <strong>reduce your conversion rate</strong>. People give up and abandon forms if they get tired of dealing with CAPTCHA&nbsp;puzzles.</p>\n\n\n<p>A far superior and seamless solution is to use Akismet. <a href=\"https://akismet.com/features/\">Akismet</a> has prevented hundreds of billions of spambots from filling out opt-in forms and other types of online forms. In the near future, we’ll surpass one trillion.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<img width=\"1600\" height=\"655\" src=\"https://akismet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/image-1.png\" alt=\"Akismet homepage with the text \" />\n\n\n\n<p>Akismet uses AI data and other software tools to identify and block spammers from filling out your forms, but the human users of your website are not impacted by it at all. They don’t even know it’s busy protecting your site in the background. They just fill out the form, unimpeded, and go on with their day.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And you get another new email lead.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"6-build-credibility-with-social proof\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Build credibility with social&nbsp;proof</h3>\n\n\n<p>Right below the CTA button, it’s a smart idea to insert a short testimonial lauding the benefits of subscribing to your emails or being a customer. You can even use a screenshot from a third-party review site to bolster the credibility.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"7-give-a-clear-preview-of-the-next steps\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Give a clear preview of the next&nbsp;steps</h3>\n\n<p>A short piece of text somewhere in the form can tell new leads what will happen after they click the button. This takes away another mild objection that keeps some people from following through with their desires to obtain the benefits of being on your email list. Examples of this sort of text might read this&nbsp;way:</p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Once you join, your coupon will be there in&nbsp;seconds</li>\n\n<li>Join today and gain access to the private&nbsp;group</li>\n\n<li>After you sign up, the report will be waiting in your&nbsp;inbox</li></ul>\n\n\n<p>You can insert this sentence right above or below the CTA button, or at the very bottom of the form. And it doesn’t need to be a large font. But this sort of language will reassure some leads by clarifying exactly what happens&nbsp;next.</p>\n\n\n<img width=\"1600\" height=\"780\" src=\"https://akismet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/image-2.png\" alt=\"email capture with a receipe ebook exchange\" class=\"wp-image-284257\" />\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Offer a one&#8209;time discount for new&nbsp;leads</h3>\n\n<p>You saw an example of this earlier. While you don’t want to be discounting all the time, offering a discount to new leads is a terrific strategy for turning a lead into a customer. The sooner you can convince them to buy, the sooner they will start developing a sense of belonging and loyalty. It’s that first purchase that always takes the most commitment. Once done, you can more quickly motivate a second&nbsp;purchase.</p>\n\n<p>So a one&#8209;time discount to new customers is a great marketing strategy for converting new leads into customers. That discount could come in several&nbsp;forms:</p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A percent off or dollars off&nbsp;discount</li>\n\n<li>Buy one, get one&nbsp;free</li>\n\n<li>A free&nbsp;gift</li>\n\n<li>A free gift with&nbsp;purchase</li>\n\n<li>Discounted setup&nbsp;fees</li>\n\n<li>Get the first month&nbsp;free</li></ul>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"9-host-a-live-event-that-requires-an-email-to register\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Host a live event that requires an email to&nbsp;register</h3>\n\n<p>For some businesses, it might not be a product that attracts new email leads. Sometimes, a webinar, live online conference, or other event will be more enticing. They want to hear from an expert, a celebrity, a special guest, or the founder of the company talk about a particular topic that matters to&nbsp;them.</p>\n\n\n<p>If all they have to do to see the presentation is provide their email address, that’s a small price to pay, and your target audience will happily do so.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"10-design-a-dedicated-lead-generation-landing page\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Design a dedicated lead generation landing&nbsp;page</h3>\n\n\n<p>For almost all these examples, you’ll do better with a dedicated landing page in addition to a typical opt-in form. Forms can be placed in your website’s footer, sidebar, homepage, and within your content.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you should also have a separate webpage that goes into more detail about the benefits of joining your email list. Whatever incentive you’re offering in exchange for joining, this page gives you room to expand on the benefits and advantages it offers.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>A page like this also gives you something to link to if you’re trying to generate leads from other sites like social media pages. You might run an ad or create a post featuring your lead magnet, but it’s far more effective to link that ad to a special landing page than just your homepage.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will focus the attention of potential leads and keep them thinking only about the benefits of joining your list, and reducing distractions from the other content on your other pages.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<p>You can link to this landing page from all sorts of places,&nbsp;including:</p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Social media pages and&nbsp;ads</li>\n\n\n<li>PPC ads</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Display ads</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Partner websites</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Print marketing</li>\n\n\n<li>Marketing collateral at live events and&nbsp;booths</li>\n\n<li>Other pages and posts on your&nbsp;website</li></ul>\n\n\n<p>For the print marketing and live event situations, this is why you want to keep the URL for this landing page very simple. You want it to be easy to read, not too many characters, and easy to remember. For example, suppose you’re presenting to a live audience and your landing page URL is on one of your slides. The shorter it is, the easier it will be for people to&nbsp;respond.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"11-implement-prominent-and-persuasive ctas\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Implement prominent and persuasive&nbsp;CTAs</h3>\n\n\n<p>Both the main headline of your opt-in form and the text on your CTA button need to be persuasive and actionable. Don’t use generic language like “Join our list!,” “Sign up,” or the worst one of all — “Submit!”&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<p>Instead, customize the CTA language to fit what you’re offering. Examples for good button CTA language&nbsp;include:</p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Grab your report&nbsp;today</li>\n\n<li>Claim your free&nbsp;coupon</li>\n\n<li>Reserve your&nbsp;spot</li>\n\n<li>Yes! Sign me&nbsp;up!</li></ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also use actionable language in your headlines — both for the form and the dedicated landing page.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<img width=\"1600\" height=\"588\" src=\"https://akismet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/image-3.png\" alt=\"red email capture from Ladybird Education\" class=\"wp-image-284258\" />\n\n\n<h3 id=\"12-use-an-interactive-quiz-to-capture emails\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. Use an interactive quiz to capture&nbsp;emails</h3>\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, just having opt-in forms isn’t enough. And, how do you collect information about each lead that will help you follow up more effectively?&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>With regular forms, you have to either lengthen the form, which can depress response rates, or you have to try to segment your list afterward with follow-up marketing and data collection.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But online quizzes offer another great approach. With these, you can collect information and segment your leads from the start, and in a way they will enjoy. A good online quiz is fun to fill out, and there are some great quiz companies out there that make this easy.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<p>The best thing is, when they’ve finished filling out their quiz, they provide their email address at the end to see the results. And some quiz platforms will even personalize their results and give them an assessment of some sort. There’s a lot you can do with these. But they are a great way to attract email leads and grow your&nbsp;list.</p>\n\n\n<img width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" src=\"https://akismet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/image.jpeg\" alt=\"man explaining something to a camera\" class=\"wp-image-284259\" />\n\n\n<h3 id=\"13-create-a-talking-head-video-to-pitch-your offer\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">13. Create a talking head video to pitch your&nbsp;offer</h3>\n\n\n<p>Another advantage of having a landing page is that you can include a video. The owner of the company or some other key figure can make a quick 1-2 minute video promoting the benefits of subscribing to your email list. For people who respond to video, this is a great way to capture their attention and make sure they know all the reasons to join.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"14-use-timed-popups-to-strategically-nudge users\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">14. Use timed popups to strategically nudge&nbsp;users</h3>\n\n\n<p>Popups got a bad name when they first came out because they were intrusive, annoying, and sometimes kept coming up even after the user closed them.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<p>But when used well, popups can be very effective. It’s not uncommon for websites to collect the majority of their email leads using popups forms. A good strategy is, instead of having it popup right when the visitor reaches your site, add a time delay so it pops up after about a&nbsp;minute.</p>\n\n\n<p>This way, it’s only being seen by people who have already engaged with your content to some degree. For those people, by the time they see the popup, they might have seen enough to respond to the lead generation offer more favorably.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, offering a 20%-off discount to a new visitor the second they arrive might just annoy them. They’re not even sure they want to buy anything yet. But after a few minutes on your site, they might have found what they’re looking for, and that coupon will give them yet another reason to make the purchase and join your email list at the same time.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"15-test-exit-popups-and overlays\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">15. Test exit popups and&nbsp;overlays</h3>\n\n<p>Another type of popup is the exit popup. Here, when a visitor moves to close your page or leave the site, the exit pop appears and makes an offer. It’s a last ditch attempt to let them consider one more time if they want to engage with your&nbsp;business.</p>\n\n<p>These work well because, even if the person didn’t feel ready to take any actions today, they might have a favorable impression of your company. The exit pop lets them join your email list and gives them an easy way to remain in your&nbsp;circle.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">16. Optimize your thank&#8209;you&nbsp;page</h3>\n\n\n<p>The last part of lead generation happens after a person has completed your opt-in form. What then? If you have promised them some type of lead magnet, be sure to deliver it as fast as possible. But there’s more you can do with this moment.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a person joins a new email list, they are feeling good, perhaps a little excited, and also a little unsure if this was a good decision. Do they want this company in their life?&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>You want to capitalize on this moment by confirming they have made a great decision, and solidifying their positive feelings about what happens next.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating a great thank-you page is the first thing to do.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<p>A good thank&#8209;you page does several&nbsp;things:</p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Communicates excitement about what they just&nbsp;did</li>\n\n<li>Reinforces the decision by restating key benefits they’ll soon&nbsp;realize</li>\n\n<li>Reminds them what happens next and what’s coming their&nbsp;way</li>\n\n<li>Gives them something to do right&nbsp;now</li></ul>\n\n\n<p>What should they&nbsp;do?</p>\n\n\n<p>It might be a blog post or other page of your site to visit. It could be a link to follow your social media page. It could be to watch a video.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or you could simply link to your online store, especially if you’re using a first-time coupon discount as your lead magnet.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find something for them to do, so they can stay engaged with your site a little longer.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"17-build-an-email-series-to-nurture-new leads\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">17. Build an email series to nurture new&nbsp;leads</h3>\n\n<p>After the thank&#8209;you page, your other primary follow&#8209;up task for new leads is to create an email welcome series. Your new leads know you will email them. But they have no idea what you will say, or if they’ll regret joining your&nbsp;list.</p>\n\n\n<p>Create an email series to have the same effect as the thank-you page, but spread out over several days. With how busy and distracted everyone is, breaking into someone’s life in a positive way takes time and effort. A welcome series enables you to show up in their life several times, and will increase the chances they’ll remember you.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<p>A good series should be at least three emails, but you can also use five, seven, or even&nbsp;more.</p>\n\n<p>In your series, you can accomplish a number of things,&nbsp;including:</p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Reinforcing their decision to join&nbsp;(again)</li>\n\n<li>Delivering the content they asked for, if&nbsp;any</li>\n\n<li>Telling the story of your&nbsp;company</li>\n\n<li>Introducing the founder, owner, or other key&nbsp;personnel</li>\n\n<li>Telling them what they can look forward to and how exciting it&nbsp;is</li>\n\n<li>Sharing reviews and testimonials&nbsp;</li>\n\n<li>Introducing them to your community if you have&nbsp;one</li>\n\n<li>Making an offer to convert them into a paying&nbsp;customer</li></ul>\n\n\n<p>You don’t have to do all of that, but it certainly won’t hurt anything if you do. A good pace is to separate each of these emails by a day or two. And you can tell them up front how many emails they’ll be getting over the next few days so they won’t feel&nbsp;overwhelmed.</p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Reminder: </strong>Eliminating friction is key to getting the most from your hard work. <a href=\"https://akismet.com/features/\">Use Akismet</a> to reduce spam without annoying users. It’s a proven way to improve conversion rates.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"the-lifecycle-of-an-email lead\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The lifecycle of an email&nbsp;lead</h2>\n\n<p>To make sure you’re clear about all of this, let’s walk through the basic steps of lead generation and show you how each of the tactics we already discussed fits into the overall&nbsp;process.</p>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"acquisition\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Acquisition</h3>\n\n\n<p>Acquisition happens when someone sees your offer to join your list, and then responds favorably. This could mean they saw an online ad or social media post. It could mean they visited your website and saw your opt&#8209;in form. They may have found your dedicated landing&nbsp;page.</p>\n\n\n<p>During this stage, the potential lead may know little to nothing about your company. You have to introduce yourself and give them enough value to make them want to stay engaged, and your email list offers the path for doing so.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"nurturing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nurturing</h3>\n\n\n<p>Once they’ve joined your email list, the next job is to nurture and deepen their relationship with your company. As you saw, this begins with the thank&#8209;you page and the email welcome series. Beyond that, you can continue sending emails and other marketing&nbsp;content.</p>\n\n<p>This could include social media, SMS, print marketing, and other&nbsp;channels.</p>\n\n<p>Nurturing means making the lead feel valued, helped, supported, or encouraged by the content you’re sending to them. The feelings you’re trying to produce depend on your industry and what your target audience&nbsp;wants.</p>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"conversion\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conversion</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversion happens when they make their first purchase. Again, this is the reason to offer the first-time discount. For some leads, they will convert right away when they use this coupon. The job of the welcome series is to encourage them to use it soon.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But even if you don’t have a first-time discount, somewhere in the welcome series, it’s a good idea to make an offer and give them a chance to buy. Once the welcome series concludes, they’ll be receiving whatever marketing you’re sending other people in their segment, so it will be a little less personalized, most likely.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<p>If you can get that first purchase before the welcome series concludes, that’s the best possible&nbsp;outcome.</p>\n\n\n<img width=\"1184\" height=\"754\" src=\"https://akismet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/image-4.png\" alt=\"Magnga-Tiles thank you message\" class=\"wp-image-284260\" />\n\n\n<p>And by the way, we didn’t mention this before, but you can also go for a conversion right on the thank&#8209;you page. They just joined your email list. They’re feeling good. With the right offer, you can convert some of them right from that page. Give it a&nbsp;try!</p>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"retention\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Retention</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After conversion, your goal is to motivate repeat purchases. Retention looks similar to nurturing, except now you can offer additional products, new deals and specials, and other ways to buy from your website.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a customer makes a second purchase, they will now see your business as part of their lives, rather than a one-time thing. A second purchase greatly increases the potential for an ongoing relationship.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"common-challenges-in-email-lead generation\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common challenges in email lead&nbsp;generation</h2>\n\n\n<p>Is it easy to attract email leads? The honest response from anyone not trying to sell you something is, nothing in marketing is “easy.” You will have to work at this. Getting attention is hard and takes ongoing effort. Connecting with your target audience takes time and effort, too.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<p>Here are a few other common email lead generation&nbsp;challenges:</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"low-conversion rates\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Low conversion&nbsp;rates</h3>\n\n\n<p>The more steps in the chain, the harder it is to convert new leads. Imagine this funnel: You have a Facebook post, which links to your opt-in landing page. On that page is the opt-in form, which is followed by a thank you page and an email welcome series.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you’re measuring conversions as purchases, that’s at least five steps people have to walk through before buying anything.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if 5% of people who see your Facebook post click on it, you’ve already lost 95% of potential leads, and they haven’t even read your landing page yet. Then, they have to follow through and fill out the form. From there, if you make a sales offer on the thank-you page, you might win your first conversion. Otherwise, it’s after your welcome series begins arriving.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the good news is, once you have these sorts of funnels up, they can just keep running. You can keep promoting that social media post over and over, and it may see a mostly new audience each time. With boosted posts and paid ads, you’ll spend a bit more, but you’ll also get more visibility. And if the content and message connects with enough people in your target audience, you can gain a lot of new email leads at a consistent pace.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Work on improving each component of each page to improve conversions. That includes the offer, the copy, the CTA button, the imagery, the landing page headline, the form text, and all the other elements.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"high-bounce rates\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">High bounce&nbsp;rates</h3>\n\n\n<p>A bounce happens when someone reaches your website and then leaves without doing anything. A high bounce rate means your landing page isn’t connecting with your potential leads. So if that’s your situation, now you know what to work on.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Focus on the headline, the copy, the imagery, and the opt-in form.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"dealing-with spam\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dealing with&nbsp;spam</h3>\n\n<p>Opt&#8209;in form spam is very annoying here because you keep thinking you’ve got a new lead, but really it’s just a bot or a scammer. It can demotivate a business owner from continuing to pursue&nbsp;leads.</p>\n\n<p>This is why <a href=\"https://akismet.com/features/\">Akismet</a> is so valuable. You’ll eliminate the psychological burden of dealing with all the spammers filling out your forms. And, your conversion rates will increase because your users won’t have a CAPTCHA or similar impediment making it harder to complete your form and join your email&nbsp;list.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"frequently-asked questions\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked&nbsp;questions</h2>\n\n<h3 id=\"why-are-email-leads-important-for-my business\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why are email leads important for my&nbsp;business?</h3>\n\n<p>Without new input, output will decline. Businesses need a steady flow of new leads who will then convert into new customers because their existing customers will eventually go elsewhere. Businesses survive, grow, and thrive by consistently attracting new leads. It’s their&nbsp;lifeblood.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"what-is-the-difference-between-cold-warm-and-hot leads\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the difference between cold, warm, and hot&nbsp;leads?</h3>\n\n\n<p>Cold leads refer to leads who have become unresponsive. They’re still in your database and on your email list, but they don’t engage. Warm leads engage and respond to some degree, but haven’t followed through or responded to any of your offers. Hot leads are ones who have explicitly told you, either by word or action, that they are ready and interested in buying.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"can-i-buy-email-leads-and-are-they effective\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I buy email leads and are they&nbsp;effective?</h3>\n\n\n<p>Buying email leads has become increasingly less wise, and it is not recommended at all with current email technology and anti-spam laws. Sending marketing emails to people who have not opted in to your email list can get you in trouble if they complain to the authorities.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, since they didn’t opt in, if they mark you as spam it will hurt your sender reputation. That means your emails even to your happy subscribers may not get delivered to the inbox, but to the spam folder.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"how-do-i-measure-the-success-of-my-email-lead-generation efforts\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I measure the success of my email lead generation&nbsp;efforts?</h3>\n\n\n<p>You can measure each step of the process that features a call to action. How many people see your marketing promoting your lead magnet offer or email list subscription, and how many of those click on it? How many see your email opt-in form and how many click on it? How many view your thank-you page and how many of those respond to whatever it offers? How many receive your email welcome series, and how many convert based on what they receive?&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<p>Each step can have its own conversion rate, which you can use to improve and optimize the whole&nbsp;process.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can I re&#8209;engage inactive email&nbsp;leads?</h3>\n\n\n<p>The first thing to do is send them a reactivation email campaign. This tells the recipients that they haven’t responded to any emails for a while, and if they want to remain on your list, they need to respond to this one. Reactivation emails often include a special offer to motivate your inactive leads to re-engage. It can be a single email or a short campaign.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also try to engage with them on other marketing channels, as they may simply be more active on those as opposed to email.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"should-i-use-captcha-to-protect-my-forms-from spam\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should I use CAPTCHA to protect my forms from&nbsp;spam?</h3>\n\n<p>No. CAPTCHA has been shown, in numerous studies, to depress conversion rates for opt&#8209;in forms. It is a needless barrier that makes it harder to complete the form. There are better ways to prevent opt&#8209;in form spam, with <a href=\"https://akismet.com/features/\">Akismet</a> being the most effective and seamless because website visitors don’t even know it’s&nbsp;there.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"what-is-akismet-and-how-can-it-improve-my-lead-generation strategy\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Akismet, and how can it improve my lead generation&nbsp;strategy?</h3>\n\n\n<p>Akismet is an anti-spam software service that prevents bots and spammers from filling out and submitting online forms. Akismet uses AI technology that analyzes behavior of the user, and detects when a bot or spammer is trying to engage with your form. It improves lead generation by removing one of the obstacles to completing and submitting an opt-in form.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"what-types-of-companies-generally-use akismet\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What types of companies generally use&nbsp;Akismet?</h3>\n\n<p>Over 100 million websites are currently using Akismet to prevent opt&#8209;in spam.

Instead of repeatedly uploading profile pictures and filling out information across different sites, users enjoy:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Automatic profile synchronization across WordPress sites</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consistent digital representation in comment sections</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Professional presence across multiple platforms</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complete control over their shared information through granular privacy settings</li>\n\n\n\n<li>The ability to maintain separate professional and personal identities through different email addresses</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For Site Owners and Developers</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Implementing Gravatar brings substantial benefits to your WordPress site:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Streamlined user registration processes with auto-filled profile information</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduced server load since Gravatar hosts all profile images</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enhanced compliance with data protection regulations</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access to powerful developer tools through the REST API and SDK</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Built-in verification features to combat spam accounts</li>\n\n\n\n<li>The ability to create personalized user experiences based on imported profile data</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The real power shows up in community building. When users see their familiar profile picture and information automatically appear, they&#8217;re more likely to engage. This familiarity builds trust and encourages more interaction.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for sites targeting specific industries or niches, Gravatar helps create professional communities where members can easily recognize each other across different WordPress platforms.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to use Gravatar with WordPress.com</strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting started with Gravatar on WordPress.com is straightforward since every WordPress.com account automatically includes Gravatar integration. Here&#8217;s everything you need to know about using it effectively.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your WordPress.com account creates a Gravatar profile automatically when you sign up. To manage your avatar:</p>\n\n\n\n<img width=\"1033\" height=\"448\" src=\"https://blog.gravatar.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/wordpress-com-my-profile.png\" alt=\"Sign in to your WordPress.com dashboard and navigate to My Profile.\" class=\"wp-image-2469\" />\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sign in to your WordPress.com dashboard </li>\n\n\n\n<li>Navigate to <em>My Profile</em>.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Upload or modify your picture.</li>\n</ol>\n\n\n\n<img width=\"1220\" height=\"836\" src=\"https://blog.gravatar.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/profile-settings-wordpress-com.png\" alt=\"Upload or modify your picture.\" class=\"wp-image-2470\" />\n\n\n\n<p>However, the settings you can adjust here are very limited and for a full list of things you can add, you need to edit your <a href=\"https://gravatar.com/profile\">Gravatar profile</a> directly.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<img width=\"1263\" height=\"756\" src=\"https://blog.gravatar.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/edit-gravatar-profile.png\" alt=\"Gravatar profile settings\" class=\"wp-image-2471\" />\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advanced Features</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond basic avatars, WordPress.com includes several Gravatar-powered features to enhance your site.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gravatar Widget</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Gravatar Widget adds a quick <em>About Me</em> section to your blog&#8217;s sidebar or footer. Add it by:</p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Going to <em>Appearance &gt; Customize &gt; Widgets.</em></li>\n</ol>\n\n\n\n<img width=\"1012\" height=\"642\" src=\"https://blog.gravatar.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/gravatar-widget.png\" alt=\"Gravatar widget\n\" class=\"wp-image-2489\" />\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Selecting <em>Gravatar Widget</em>.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customizing the size, alignment, and text.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adding social media links if desired.</li>\n</ol>\n\n\n\n<p>For more detailed profiles, the Gravatar Profile Widget displays your complete bio, gravatar link, contact information, links, and recent activities.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Need to add a Gravatar somewhere specific? Use the shortcode:</p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&#091;gravatar email=\"user@example.com\" size=\"96\"]</code></pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This works in posts, pages, and text widgets – perfect for team member profiles or guest author introductions.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hovercards</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>And do you want to show more information when someone hovers over a profile picture, you can enable <a href=\"https://support.gravatar.com/profiles/hovercards/\">Gravatar Hovercards</a> to display mini-biographies, social media links, recent posts, and custom information.</p>\n\n\n\n<img width=\"1036\" height=\"569\" src=\"https://blog.gravatar.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/hovercards-example.png\" alt=\"Gravatar hovercards\" class=\"wp-image-2474\" />\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to use Gravatar with WordPress.org</strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting up Gravatar on a self-hosted WordPress site takes just a few extra steps but offers all the same benefits.

Pull in comprehensive user data to create dynamic author pages that showcase a writer&#8217;s latest posts, social media activity, and professional background. Build team pages that automatically update when members change their profiles. Or create custom comment systems that show different profile information based on user roles.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building a Stronger Community</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The true power of Gravatar lies in its ability to transform anonymous usernames into recognizable community members.

Founded two years ago, WPAI has developed innovative products like CodeWP (an AI IDE for WordPress developers), AgentWP (an AI agent for WordPress), and WP.Chat (a ChatGPT alternative for WordPress). No financial details of the deal have been disclosed.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>WPAI’s founding members James LePage, Greg Hunt, and Ovidiu “Ovi” Iulian Galatan will join Automattic. “Our entire WPAI team is making the move to Automattic, and we’ll be integrating our products, data, and tools into both new and existing offerings. We couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead.”, James LePage shared on <a href=\"https://x.com/jameswlepage/status/1866208939680923694\">Twitter</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Automattic’s <a href=\"https://automattic.com/2024/12/09/automattic-welcomes-wpai/\">announcement post</a> revealed that the founding members will “lead the exploration of applied AI as an interaction paradigm for WordPress. They’ll be working on testing, building, and integrating innovative AI solutions into the core ecosystem to redefine how users and developers work with WordPress.”</p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the transition, CodeWP and AgentWP will be sunset in their current forms, the core technology powering these platforms will be reimagined and integrated into new offerings under the Automattic umbrella. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>“We expect that all products will be completely sunset by January 9th, but it is up to Automattic on the exact timeline now.”, shared James LePage in the WPAI <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/codewp\">facebook group</a>. “As we wind down our current products, monthly subscriptions will end without renewal, and annual subscribers will receive prorated refunds in the coming weeks.”, he continued.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>While many are optimistic about the acquisition, some customers have expressed concerns. Some are worried that it’s disastrous for the current customers and they are not happy with CodeWP and AgentWP being sunset. But James Lepage has assured that “This move allows us to gather more resources and build a much more robust solution. We were punching way above our weight class. The agent will be back!”&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matt Mullenweg shared in his <a href=\"https://ma.tt/2024/12/wpai/\">personal blog</a>, “Very excited to share that <a href=\"https://automattic.com/2024/12/09/automattic-welcomes-wpai/\">we’ve acquired WPAI and the team is joining Automattic</a>.

It highlighted the profound impact we can have when communities like ours come together to push the boundaries of Open Source and shape the future of the web.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Automattic, we believe that Open Source is more than a license—it’s a philosophy that drives innovation and makes publishing accessible to all, and we want to support fellow open source communities. Our team is at DrupalCon to share some of the tools we’ve built, including <a href=\"https://akismet.com/\">Akismet</a> (<a href=\"https://www.drupal.org/project/akismet\">check out the Drupal extension here</a>), <a href=\"https://magazine.atavist.com/\">The Atavist Magazine</a>, <a href=\"https://www.beeper.com/\">Beeper</a>, <a href=\"https://dayoneapp.com/\">Day One</a>, <a href=\"https://longreads.com/\">Longreads</a>, and <a href=\"https://pocketcasts.com/\">Pocket Casts</a>. These products, much like the web itself, thrive on connection and collaboration. (Basically all our non-WP stuff.)</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I’ve loved hearing about how people are engaging with our booth—whether exploring our tools, grabbing a local snack, or taking a moment to recharge. For those of you at the event, I encourage you to swing by the Automattic booth, meet our team, and share your thoughts. Together, we can continue to create an open web that’s full of possibilities.</p>\n\n\n\n\n<img width=\"604\" height=\"453\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/ma.tt/files/2024/12/DrupalCon-1-1-1024x768.jpg?resize=604%2C453&ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-131632\" />\n\n\n\n<img width=\"604\" height=\"805\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/ma.tt/files/2024/12/DrupalCon-2-1-768x1024.jpg?resize=604%2C805&ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-131628\" />\n\n\n\n<img width=\"604\" height=\"453\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/ma.tt/files/2024/12/DrupalCon-3-1-1024x768.jpg?resize=604%2C453&ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-131631\" />\n\n\n\n<img width=\"604\" height=\"453\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/ma.tt/files/2024/12/DrupalCon-4-1-1024x768.jpg?resize=604%2C453&ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-131629\" />\n\n\n\n<img width=\"604\" height=\"453\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/ma.tt/files/2024/12/DrupalCon-5-1-1024x768.jpg?resize=604%2C453&ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-131630\" />\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 10 Dec 2024 03:56:32 +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:16;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:10:\"Matt: WPAI\";s: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:23:\"https://ma.tt/?p=131612\";s: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:27:\"https://ma.tt/2024/12/wpai/\";s: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:342:\"<p>Very excited to share that <a href=\"https://automattic.com/2024/12/09/automattic-welcomes-wpai/\">we&#8217;ve acquired WPAI and the team is joining Automattic</a>.

The challenge hosted by Jamie Marsland, required both participants to replicate the<a href=\"https://bobdylanart.com/\"> Bob Dylan</a> website within 30 minutes using any tools or techniques of their choice. Jessica utilized the GREYD theme and plugin, while Matt opted for the Twenty Twenty-Five theme and AI.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jessica, the Co-Lead for the Twenty Twenty-Four Default Theme, prioritized accessibility during the live event impressing the audience and prompting <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/patricia70/\">Patricia BT</a> to comment, “Jessica is so good at accessibility, I think the whole Greyd team is btw (and shoutout to Anne-Mieke as well).” </p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Jamie confirmed that using AI was not against the rules, the audience was divided about Matt&#8217;s use of it. Some appreciated using AI to speed up development, while others felt that “as the founder of Blocks, he should at least do it the core way.”</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The audience was amused to see Matt getting stuck and grow frustrated with alignment, padding, and borders. He accepted that he would have never found some options in a million years.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Audience reactions included, “It&#8217;s good that WP leadership tries hands-on to use the Block Editor, that&#8217;s the only way of experiencing where we can improve. Thanks Matt for being here and maybe noting the issues.”, “Love that Matt is learning WordPress Live.”, “​​Wonder if he&#8217;ll now believe all the criticism of Gutenberg”, “Haha&#8230; Matt is saying that something is annoying about blocks?”, and “like watching a baby calf learn to walk.”</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But some defended Matt’s efforts: “He actually did alright imo. esp for one not building sites on the reg. Doesn’t mean there’s not improvements to be had by any means though.”</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jessica was finally declared winner for a “more polished finish.” Before this event, she had competed against <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/richtabor/\">Rich Tabor</a> and <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/francgrasso/\">Francesco Grasso</a>, while Matt was participating in the challenge for the very first time. Her next challenge will be against Nick Diego at the WordPress Speed Build Challenge during <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2025/open-your-possibilities-by-learning-from-the-experts-wordpress-speed-build/\">WordCamp Asia</a>. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can watch the full challenge on <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/live/BzduYKuZAIg\">YouTube</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:\"Mon, 09 Dec 2024 19:31:05 +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:7:\"Jyolsna\";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:78:\"WPTavern: WordPress Core Team Proposes Adding WP Consent API to WordPress Core\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:30:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=181909\";s: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:\"https://wptavern.com/wordpress-core-team-proposes-adding-wp-consent-api-to-wordpress-core\";s: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:2559:\"<p>The WordPress Core team is gathering consensus around integrating the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2024/12/04/lets-reconsider-adopting-the-wp-consent-api/\">WP Consent API into Core</a>. The <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-consent-api/\">WP Consent API feature plugin </a>was originally introduced in early <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/proposal-to-add-a-consent-api-to-wordpress-feature-plugin-available\">2020</a> to standardize the communication of accepted consent categories between plugins.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Automattician Brian Alexander has placed two options before the community: add this feature to Core or make it canonical. In case of adding it to the Core, the existing API must be updated to meet the current Core merge expectations and the Core could introduce a default cookie “popup” or block that could be activated similar to the built-in Privacy Policy feature.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) came into effect in March 2024, the WP Consent API plugin has seen a sharp rise in adoption, surpassing 100,000 active installations.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in December 2020, the feature was removed from the active features list during a cleanup and marked as “Closed.” However, discussions in the #core-privacy channel in the months that followed overlooked this status change, causing confusion when efforts were made to transfer the plugin to the WordPress GitHub org.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rogier Lankhorst, the original developer, explained, “The most important aspect of the WP Consent API is its ability to bypass legal discussions entirely and delegate all such matters to CMPs. The WP Consent API should really be JUST an API, and not have any opinion about legal matters. While consent per service is not yet possible, one of the items on the WP Consent API roadmap is an extension that would enable this functionality. The current basic structure is easily extensible to accommodate this feature.”</p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also shared, &#8220;Extending the consent API to a cmp will most likely result in a project that will never finish, as it will result in endless discussions on legal details.

In today&#8217;s episode, we&#8217;ll talk about Gutenberg 19.8, the Create Block Theme Plugin, Lisbon Developer Hours, and so much more. I&#8217;m your host, Birgit Pauli-Haack, curator at the Gutenberg Times and a full-time core contributor for the WordPress Open Source Project, sponsored by Automattic, Five for the Future program.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>With me, the wonderful Gutenberg contributor, full-time core contributor Sarah Norris, also sponsored by Automattic, is today&#8217;s co-host and she brings updates to the Create Block Theme Plugin, as well as impressions from last week&#8217;s WordPress Day of Developers in Lisbon. Sarah is also the co-core team rep together with Joe McGill. If you have any questions about the core team and contributing, find her on WP Slack, Mikachan. That&#8217;s M-I-K-A C-H-A-N. Sarah, how are you today? Thanks for taking the time to join me, the last episode of the year.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> Yeah, last episode of the year. Thank you for having me. Yeah, I&#8217;m good, thank you.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Excellent, excellent. So yeah, tell me about the&#8230; What was the Developer Day like in Lisbon? And I can also contribute what the Rome Core Days was like in Rome a month before. So yeah. You&#8217;re just back?</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lisbon Developer Hours</h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris: </em>Yeah, that&#8217;s right. Yeah, the Rome Core Days is very similar, wasn&#8217;t it? Yeah, so Lisbon WordPress Day for Developers, so it was all for developers, totally focused on tech talks and tech workshops. It was a relatively small event. I think there were about 60 people. As a speaker I think that&#8217;s better, but it&#8217;s really good as an attendee as well. It feels like you get to meet nearly everyone, if not everyone. Because it is about the right size to get around the room.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>We had two tracks. One was the talks and then the other was the workshops. And then I think I spent the majority of my time on the talk track because I was doing one of the talks, so I thought I wanted to stay in the room, not move too much. We had some great talks. We had Milana, Cyril, Miguel, Shadi, Mikael, and there was a lot of talk about, new features in WordPress, like the interactivity API and the HTML-type processor as well.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So that was really, really cool to see. It&#8217;s great to see them being talked about and people asking questions about them and getting excited about them and using them on client sites and stuff. It&#8217;s so good to see. And my talk was about contributing to Gutenberg. So I always like to encourage more contributors to get on board. Because it&#8217;s so satisfying as a developer as well. I&#8217;m biased, I know, but I really think it&#8217;s a good repo to work in, so many lovely people to work with.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also talked through a few things that I&#8217;ve been working on recently as well. Because I find that often when I attend these events, people are really interested in what you&#8217;re working on, what&#8217;s coming up in Gutenberg and stuff. So yeah, I talked about some stuff I&#8217;ve been working on in the Query Loop Block and then some DataViews bits as well.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So yeah, it was good. And also the food was amazing. You might be able to beat me, actually, because you were in Italy. The food at Lisbon, it was so good. Probably the best food I&#8217;ve had at an event like that. So good. Yeah. What was Rome Core Day like?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah, Rome Core Day was similar. It was more about, was a lot about contribution, because there were three talks about it. One from Olga, one from me on Gutenberg, Olga Foucault. And then Stefano also talked about contributing to the accessibility team. And also had a talk track. Carlos was talking about the Block Bindings. The DataViews with Andre and Riyadh was very interesting. And then somebody talked about&#8230; Oh, Bernard Reiter talked about the HTML API and stuff.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then there was a second track and there was more a discussion panel kind of thing. And that was also very interesting, but the panel competed with the talks. So everybody left the room for the talks and went to the panel, because it was hot topics or something. And then the talk room&#8230; But it was also small, was really&#8230; I liked that, a small event. It was a little bigger than&#8230; Lisbon was a 100 people, about. And also had some sponsors there, that was cool.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, the food was actually from a mall, so we were adjacent to the station, to the train station, and there was one food court there where you can go from all the different booths and then have a central place where you sit and talk. So everybody picked up their food, what they liked, and then joined the other ones, either on the second floor or the third floor to just have a big table there. And it was really nice. And it was good food, but I like Italian food. But I have found in Porto, when we were for work in Porto, that the Portuguese have really&#8230; It&#8217;s not hot food, but it&#8217;s very tasty. It has these explosions of flavors in their food and I know a few Italians that can do that, but yeah, it&#8217;s more likely tomato, meat, noodles, pizza kind of thing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I figured from the description that you all talked about contributing and my talk about contributing, I think we would make a good kind of event that we could do virtually and put this all together. Because I think yours was more like the tips and tricks to get your hands dirty, so to speak, get your hands onto code. And mine was more like on the philosophical side, who should contribute or what&#8217;s it like to contribute, what are the steps to get to your first PR? And that was a little bit different. So I&#8217;ll see if we can get this on the schedule for the Developer Hours next year, to have a place where we can share with other people that want to know how is it when you contribute, to watch those two. So that would be really cool. Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris: </em>Yeah, that sounds good. Because I think a lot of the time when you&#8217;re reading documentation, you don&#8217;t really get a feel for what it is actually like to contribute. Well, and I don&#8217;t suppose you will until you actually contribute. But yeah, I was trying to&#8230; Some tips on finding reviewers and getting help if you need help, and have conversations or keep them going, those kinds of tips. But you do need to know all the other sides as well. You need to know if you can contribute. Of course you can. But maybe you need to know where. So you need all that information as well. So yeah, they sound very complimentary.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> So I read some of the surveys of why you contribute, how much you contribute, from the WordPress surveys that were done previous years. And I&#8217;ve found that many contributors that are freelancers or working with agencies, they have these feast and famine cycles on their business, but they like to contribute in the famine part, but they can&#8217;t keep it up when there&#8217;s actually really big work to be done.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But they still would like to do those fly-by contributors, I call them, to say, &#8220;okay, I have two hours and I want to get my head clear, I do something else and let me see what&#8217;s up.&#8221; And it&#8217;s really hard to find those tasks where you can go and say, oh, I&#8217;ll do one of those 15 tasks, that are very well specced out, very contained, and could be busy work for core contributors. But it could be very gratifying for someone who just wants to do something for two hours or so.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I&#8217;m kind of thinking, would that work for Gutenberg or Core, or is it just something for documentation or for marketing or something like that? But yeah, that&#8217;s what&#8217;s going on in my head about that after the conversations that I had. Because someone asked me in the talk kind of, &#8220;oh, I just want to fix one little thing. Do I have to read it all?&#8221; And I said, well, you need to, at least some of it. Because somebody&#8217;s going to review your stuff, and if you are not following the guidelines, then you are wasting their time and yours too, because you have to redo it again. So I think it would be better to, but that kind of thing, &#8220;well, you&#8217;re doing it wrong.&#8221; Not very welcoming.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris: </em>Yeah. But then it&#8217;s important that we have at least some loose standards, so it&#8217;s just better for everyone involved with reviewing and writing. I think that&#8217;s some really good insight from people who want to contribute. I think there is a lot to read and obviously it&#8217;s important to know most of, all of the guidelines, but maybe there&#8217;s a big time sync at the start and then once you&#8217;ve got your head around it, or maybe you could make your own notes as well, like shorthand notes, and then hopefully after that point it&#8217;s much easier to jump in and just do an hour here or there. But easier said than done. And it can be quite intimidating as well.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, it can. And I try to like it with, when you start with a new company. So in a new company you get 30 days, but you are not going to touch code in that 30 days. You read all the handbooks and all that. So it&#8217;s kind of wanted and it&#8217;s necessary. So why would an open source project not require people to do that? Especially when they&#8217;re in there for the long haul. If you just want to badge, okay, fix some documentation and send to PR and then you&#8217;re done.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you want to really make an impact, it&#8217;s important to know how the ins and outs are, because then you develop a shortcut with the other contributors.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Well, we have&#8230; I think the numbers are staggering, so every Gutenberg release has at least 6 to 13, so it&#8217;s first contributors every release. And 6.7 I think the numbers were really interesting. It was over 780 contributors and 230 were first contributors, so a third. Well, more than a third were new contributors. So yeah, there&#8217;s some great brave people out there who start with the open source project and come in and contribute. That&#8217;s really great.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> Yeah, that&#8217;s amazing. That&#8217;s such a good number. See if we can be 6.8 or maybe 6.1.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> We&#8217;ll see. Yeah, 6.8 might even be more because, it&#8217;s such a long runway.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Right. Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Announcements</h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: So we&#8217;ll see, we&#8217;ll see what comes out of it. But now all about contributing. Let&#8217;s go a little bit further. We have some announcements for those who want to build on top of WordPress, and that&#8217;s the Developer Hours. And I made it a ritual that every podcast we&#8217;re kind of talking about the Developer Hours a bit.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So there is one coming up on December the 17th and that&#8217;s the Developer Hours, Everything you need to know about WordPress Playground, and that&#8217;s on December 17th at 16:00 UTC, and it&#8217;s the final Developer Hours of 2024. But I don&#8217;t think an hour is enough to learn everything you need to know about WordPress Playground, so take it with a grain of salt.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Nick and Ryan will try their very best. They take a closer look at WordPress Playground. Because this tool lets you create fully functional WordPress instances directly in your browser with no installation on setup required beyond spinning up WordPress sites, Playground also offers powerful capabilities from testing plugins and themes to running demos, and even supporting app development. No matter how engaged you are with WordPress, Playground has something valuable to offer to you.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah, I&#8217;m a total fan of Playground and I have done some Footprints and also did some workshop. Oh, I&#8217;m actually doing a workshop at WordCamp Asia about creating a demo with Footprints for Playground. So you only give the people a link and then they can play around with your plugin or play around with your theme, and that&#8217;s such a cool tool to do.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> Yeah, actually plugin, sorry, Playground itself is so helpful for if you&#8217;re doing talks like the WordCamps and events and stuff because can give people&#8230; You&#8217;re talking about a new feature you&#8217;ve built or you&#8217;re showing something off that&#8217;s just been released and then you can say, now visit this Playground link thing, or you can go and play with it immediately. You don&#8217;t have to go back and wait until you&#8217;re working on your own instance or&#8230;</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Right. Yeah, you can do it&#8230; You could even do it on your mobile phone. It&#8217;s a little slow if you have a slow connection. But yeah, I really love that. It&#8217;s for someone who grew technical in the age of the early internet where you had HTML, but you needed a server, you need FTP, you need kind of a hosting company and a database server, that you need to hack into with phpMyAdmin. And then of course the application server with PHP and there&#8217;s so many things that need to go into, to actually have a website that you want to play with. That Playground is just magic. It&#8217;s really something. How can that be, that the browsers are&#8230; the machines are so powerful to have it all in one browser, it&#8217;s amazing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then this week&#8217;s Developer Hours recording is available. That was about improving your workflow with WordPress development tools, and Ryan Welcher, and Nick did that as well. And they took a deep dive in the advanced usage of the tools like Create Block Scaffolding or WP Scripts, along with a few others, and they focused on solving common challenges and showcasing techniques that go beyond the basics, even for developers already familiar with these tools. So that&#8217;s definitely one to watch for someone who has already got their feet wet halfway into Block Development and see how you can streamline your process and your debugging superpowers.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Community Contributions<strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All right, so next up I have three&#8230; Fun and Games was a headline that I did in the weekend edition of last week, and today is December 6th that I record this with Sarah Norris, and I found three things that are very fun to do, no commercial value at all, but it shows the fun that you can make with Good Mood. And Aki Hamano demoed on X how code is music and shared a video on how he used his Piano Block to create music and record that. I have not yet found out how he recorded it, but you can actually study the source of the Piano Block on GitHub.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And of course I share all the links with you in the show notes, so you can follow up on that. But that was really cool. It kind of has the Block Editor and then a piano kind of keyboard with a few additional dials and then it has continuing music in there. That was really fantastic, yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> It&#8217;s such a good idea. I really like the code is music line as well. It&#8217;s so good.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, it comes from code&#8217;s poetry, right?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Yeah, yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> And then Tom Rodes used the Gutenberg Block to run a snake game. There&#8217;s a snake coming in and you need to navigate it so it eats the block. There&#8217;s a square on the canvas and your snake needs to eat the block and you need to navigate it with the keys WASD with up and down and left and right. That&#8217;s kind of in-between when you have a Block on your creativity or a Block on a bug that you need to solve, play that for a moment. It&#8217;s really cool. And he also got it inside a playground, so really love that. Yeah, Tom Rodes is on the engineering team of Automattic, and he just shared those on his private personal blog, and he used React to run it in the Gutenberg Editor.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the last one is from Jonathan Bossenger who created a variation of the dodge game, and you can play it on his site, and he used it to dive into the interactivity API directives. And his code is also available on GitHub, but that is a game where the logos of Wix and Squarespace and Weebly kind of chase the WordPress one, and you need to get out of the way. You&#8217;re the WordPress one, and you need to get out of the way with the arrow keys. So it&#8217;s kind of interesting. I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s finished yet. He wants to display the&#8230; What is it? The highest scores as well. But it&#8217;s not there yet. But yeah, maybe you can do some tournaments or so with those two games.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> Yeah, that&#8217;s a fun one.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, it&#8217;s very fun. So that&#8217;s kind of coming after Matt Mullenweg asked to bring more fun to Gutenberg. So here we are, first three examples.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What’s Released &#8211; Gutenberg 19.8</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>And that brings us to the Gutenberg 19.8 Plugin release. It has 149 PRs by 52 contributors, 6 of them first-timers. And there were 34 enhancements and 48 bug fixes.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The enhancements were mostly nice quality of life improvements to make users much more confident about what just happened, kind of what did I do or what didn&#8217;t I do. So let&#8217;s dive in. Do you want to start?</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enhancements</h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Yeah, let&#8217;s see. What have we got first? We&#8217;ve got this one about making the Social Block Icon navigation&#8230; Well, improving it with keyboard navigation. So previously I think it required two taps of enter, if you&#8217;re navigating by keyboard, which I don&#8217;t think was intentional and was just the side effects of where we used the markup basically. But now the markup has been improved and it only requires one hit of enter to navigate through the icons.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> Like I say, it feels like just a small quality of life improvement, but it&#8217;s one of these tiny details that really makes things just feel much better.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Right. And when you use the Social Icon Block often you halve your time that it takes to build it out. So yeah, it&#8217;s streamlined.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> And the next one is the page list has now Border and Spacing Support, that&#8217;s in line with all the other efforts to bring Border and Spacing Support to as many Core Blocks as possible. And so in 6.7, there were a ton of Blocks getting new border support and this one is now coming for 6.8.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris: </em>Yeah, it&#8217;s so good to have those controls. It just feels&#8230; Yeah, they&#8217;re visual controls, so having them on as many Blocks as possible is great. The next one we have is another&#8230; Well, it&#8217;s a Social link Block, it&#8217;s related to Social, adding the content-only editing support. So I think previously when you&#8217;re in content-only editing mode with the Social link Block, you couldn&#8217;t edit the URLs of the links, but now that the Content Support has been added, you can edit that link. It just makes sense, as you&#8217;re going through the links that you can edit the link itself rather than just staring at the block thinking, there&#8217;s something…</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Well, how do I get there? Yeah. Especially when the link is wrong. You can use the Social links for so many things. So if you have a team or author list where you want to put the Social links in or for the website, how to get the people that build the website on the social website, it&#8217;s such a versatile block that it definitely needed some more attention. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So part of DataViews, there were two improvements amongst, or the many improvements that came in with that release, and one of them, it&#8217;s called the density option of a Table layout, but what it really does is actually have three levels of how much white space or between the rows in a table. Sometimes you want to have it really dense, because you want 60 or 70 pieces on the screen, and sometimes you just want to have four or five on it, and then more white space makes a better layout, but there is now, as a user, you can change those density options. So it&#8217;s really cool. It&#8217;s between comfortable, compact and default or something like that, that has a line that you just tip on it and see how that works.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second one is for the extensibility or for plugin developers, and of course also for core that you can register and unregister fields that are in display. So if you don&#8217;t want the post layout to show the date of the publishing date, you can unregister that field for the layout. And that is something, because the data use will have such a broad application, so every plugin, every custom post types, any additional features that come into WordPress might want to use that. So the use cases are so vast that extensibility is one of the first things that they look at now when they build that out.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And with the custom fields kind of being part of the&#8230; It&#8217;s not only custom fields, it&#8217;s also fields from the meta places, meta table or Post Meta that you can unregister there as well.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> Yeah. Yeah, that&#8217;s really cool. It&#8217;s off of that level of flexibility. It&#8217;s really good. Our next section is the global styles changes. Well, a couple of things that were experimental marked as experimental in Gutenberg, but they&#8217;ve now been stabilized, so they&#8217;re not experimental anymore. It&#8217;s probably something that we&#8217;re not always that quick to change in Gutenberg. There&#8217;s so many things going on, but yeah, it&#8217;s always great to see when the experimental flag has been removed. So it&#8217;s been removed from the Block. Which one? Which block is it? It&#8217;s for borders, is it Block Supports?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. And it&#8217;s also text, the borders and also the default content. No, it&#8217;s not default content, hang on.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> Default controls.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>Default controls, yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> Yeah. And skip serialization and the border controls as well.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> Developing Gutenberg, you&#8217;ll probably know about these things and that you&#8217;ve been needing to add experimental, so you don&#8217;t need to add that anymore, because it&#8217;s…</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Right. And they are really heavily working on backwards compatibility, because there are multiple levels where these Block styles come in, and then one is core, one is a plugin and one is a theme. If either one of them uses experimental, what wins? So that&#8217;s kind of a little bit of a tricky approach. And I am fairly sure that although that&#8217;s merged now and released that there will be some adjustments to be done. But this early release is really important for those who have been using the experimental flags or methods and settings to test the code and see what happens with the code or what needs to be changed, especially plugins and themes.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also, and I&#8217;m really happy about that, as soon as they are stabilized and from this day on forward, the blockers to adjust or adopt Block Development or Block Themes are getting less and less, because that is for a lot of developers, a blocker says, &#8220;well, this is experimental. If I base my code on it, I never know what&#8217;s happening, because experimental is not documented.&#8221; There&#8217;s no promise of backwards compatibility and it can change at any moment. So I need to be really watching for that and I don&#8217;t have time for that. Or I don&#8217;t want to waste time to redo it over and over again because things change. So they held off in adopting some of the features that are now coming out of experiments. So that&#8217;s a good sign, to increase adoption of things.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> So the next thing I really like, that&#8217;s what I referred to when I said at the beginning, what actually happened, if the quality of life, when the user knows exactly what happened, the Block editor now has notices after actions that are coming from the image editing. So it will show you, okay, cropping done, or do you want to undo in a little notification settings where you also see view post and these, it&#8217;s on the bottom right of your screen once you&#8217;re done with either cropping or replacing or something like that on the image editing features, now you know what happened and that it was a success. Yay. Before it was really, did it work? Did it not work? Or let me look at it, how it looks at the front end. Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> Yeah, yeah. Left you guessing. Really good. The next section we got is for the REST API. So we have a new feature for allowing setting the editor rendering mode by post type. So this allows the user to define the default rendering mode for the editor with a post-type. So it adds a filterable default rendering mode property to the post-type object, allows you to easily switch between the template view and the post-only view, allows you to change the default. Because the template view makes it easier to see what the content will look like on the front end. And there&#8217;s a few things that are only available in template view, because it&#8217;s more for the design editing, but then the post-only view is for editing content. So for decorations, you&#8217;re going to want the different views and this lets you control the view.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, there are quite a few developers who like that. That is coming now. And then the next one is in the Zoom Out View. So the Zoom Out View helps you when you add patterns to, or it automatically goes in&#8230; Your canvas goes automatically into Zoom Out mode when you try to add a pattern to it and then you can drop and drag it and drop it into a section on that. But then if that pattern has a section styles attached, no, it&#8217;s not attached, but if it&#8217;s a Group Block and there is section styles for group, then you can navigate through just a little button through the color settings of that particular section and you see how it looks in blue or in dark mode or in black and white.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So that&#8217;s really nice to easily organize, see how the page&#8230; You don&#8217;t have to go to the sidebar and find the switch. You just kind of loop through the button. It&#8217;s really cool. There&#8217;s also a button next to it that says change design button or change design, and I have not yet found how it&#8217;s triggered, but sometimes it&#8217;s there and something it&#8217;s not. It&#8217;s probably that you have a same category for the Call for Action, and then you can change the design for the Call for Action and loop through all the available patterns for that particular task. So that&#8217;s also very cool to see.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don&#8217;t have to go back-and-forth and back-and-forth to figure that out. You just use those two buttons to see how it changes, and how it changes in the context of your page. So this is a really great feature. It sounds so, oh, we add a button to that, but it&#8217;s just a powerful superpower.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> Yeah. I think anything like this, especially in Zoom Out mode, it really takes the cognitive load away for designing a site and it makes it so much quicker. You can just cycle through all these available styles immediately. So within five minutes you have a design that you probably would&#8217;ve taken you hours previously.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. Just to see what the theme offers and what you want to use and kind of&#8230; So it&#8217;s a really powerful thing. Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris: </em>Yeah. The next thing we have is, so in the site editor, again in the Blocks, adding a check for the parent before converting a block to a pattern. So I think previously you could select child blocks and convert those to a reusable pattern, which usually doesn&#8217;t make sense, or it&#8217;s not ideal. So now there&#8217;s an additional check to check that the block is the parent before converting it to a reusable pattern.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> No, I think that&#8217;s a good there, because sometimes people didn&#8217;t know that it was only part of the pattern and yeah, it&#8217;s kind of&#8230;</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> Right. Yeah, put it on a Group Block or whatever. If you select the next InnerBlock, because sometimes that&#8217;s going to be the more obvious block to select as well, and then you make that reusable, you&#8217;re going to miss the block out of the reusable pattern, and that&#8217;s going to be holding everything together.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. And where all the section styles are applied to, yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> Right. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, you&#8217;re going to miss all these styles.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Birgit Pauli-Haack: Yeah. The next thing is&#8230; I also like that, and it&#8217;s really, it&#8217;s the font family preview in the font family picker. So on the right-hand side, when you open up the taxonomy font family, it not only lists the name of the fonts, but also how it&#8217;s actually rendering that. So you see more closely what the font would look like when you&#8217;re selected for your header or for your paragraph or even for all the blocks. So that&#8217;s another take the guesswork out of it and let me see what I&#8217;m doing feature.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris: </em>Yeah. It&#8217;s really cool that it&#8217;s in a drop-down as well. It&#8217;s cool that we have a component in Gutenberg that allows you to show all these different font families.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> It looks so&#8230;</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> That you can style them, yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>The font family. Yeah. Yeah. So that was actually all the things&#8230; No, that wasn&#8217;t all the things that I wanted to talk about.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bus Fix</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>But I also wanted to, there&#8217;s a bug fix for Zoom Out, but it&#8217;s actually a feature, it&#8217;s kind of disabling Zoom Out when in distraction-free mode is activated. And of course, you don&#8217;t want to all of a sudden kind of look at the whole thing when you say, I only want to do distraction-free mode, get away from me, all the block stuff and all the features, and all of a sudden you find yourself in a Zoom Out mode. That&#8217;s definitely a little bit disconcerting there.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Yeah, because Zoom Out is more for designing. You can use it for whatever you want, but I&#8217;d definitely say you&#8217;re probably going to be designing the whole site if you&#8217;re in Zoom Out mode, whereas it&#8217;s for free. It&#8217;s in the name, isn&#8217;t it? You don&#8217;t want any control. Don&#8217;t show me any tool list or anything.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: So Zoom Out, but it&#8217;s a bit of an odd experience. So yeah, good to see that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, I&#8217;m writing here, not there. I&#8217;m writing here, get out of my way.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> I need to see the words, don&#8217;t make them smaller.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Experiments</h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, yeah. Right. Yeah. What happened? And I wanted to point out also, in the Changelog there&#8217;s always an experiment section. One of the experiments is the Inline Commenting and it just updates the placement of the reply. So Inline Commenting is when you can add for each block on a canvas a comment, and then there can be a conversation about that with a reply.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And also it shows the author info and all that, and it updates just a placement where the reply is going to be put. If you want to try that out, you need to enable that Inline Commenting on the experiments page of the Gutenberg plugin. And it would be really helpful if you dive in there and add your comments to, there&#8217;s a tracking issue, I will share that tracking issue for Inline Commenting in the show notes, where you can leave comments about your experience. Because of course it&#8217;s called experiment for that reason. They don&#8217;t know yet what&#8217;s their final version is of it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But sometimes you don&#8217;t know what you get until&#8230; You don&#8217;t know what you want until you see what you get, and that&#8217;s kind of that part of it. This is what we have now, what you like and what you don&#8217;t like.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris: </em>Yeah, exactly. Yeah. It&#8217;s so important, even though they&#8217;re experimental, I guess kind of related to stabilizing the block supports as well, until they&#8217;ve actually been in use and you&#8217;ve tested them out and used them in lots of different situations, you don&#8217;t really know when they&#8217;re not experimental anymore until you know. You&#8217;re like, &#8220;okay, what happened?&#8221;</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>Yeah. So in the next one, experiment means that the right mode functionality that the team has been working on for quite a while is now a functionality behind the Good Mood experiment. Also, because of the reason that there is so many opinions about how it&#8217;s going to work or should work or part of it, but one does not really know what good it does for the whole experience. So yeah, you find that on the experiments page as well.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> If anyone&#8217;s interested in that. There is a very good issue linked to this PR that we&#8217;re looking at, and it&#8217;s got a well organized to-do list for stabilizing that whole experience. So if anyone&#8217;s interested in helping out there, there&#8217;s a very easy to use to-do list, which is always the nicest thing if you&#8217;re into to-do lists and what checking things up.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. So I&#8217;m going to share that also outside the changelog there. All right.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Documentation</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I wanted to point out in the documentation section of the Changelog, all the changes that are made to the Storybook. So the Storybook is a way to see components outside of the WordPress content, but also see what are the attributes and design tools that are available for that particular component.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So for developers, it&#8217;s really a great way to explore components that you might use in your app or in your blocks. And it has gotten a lot of reorganization because it was just one long list of components and now they&#8217;re categorized. So there&#8217;s a layout category, a section layout category and fonts category and all that. So it&#8217;s really more organized because it also will house all the design standards that are coming out of the design team with the color settings and some of the other standards as well from settings as well. We all are working from the same interface standards, and it needed a little bit more organization there.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So it&#8217;s also differentiating between the stable components and the experiment components. Both of them have all the categories in there and then the block mover story. So they&#8217;re called stories when you want to have that interface, be interactive, and some of them are now updated with the Readme files, and there&#8217;s an ongoing process to update the documentation for the stories.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: I think contributing to the Storybook is a really nice intersection between writing documentation and coding, especially if you&#8217;re learning to build with Gutenberg. Because as you&#8217;re learning and you&#8217;re like, oh, this is missing from the docs, then you can go and write a story and fill in the docs. That might be a good area for contributions. I&#8217;ve never really thought about it until we were just talking about it here.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack: </em>Right. Yeah, yeah, no, I get it. Yeah. But you need to know a little bit about the Storybook library for that, and of course of the React library. But yeah, maybe we can do a pre-beginner&#8217;s show about how to contribute to Storybook or something like that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris: </em>Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Like that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> You can get really stuck into the stories and it&#8217;s kind of therapeutic, because they&#8217;re all the same, so you&#8217;re doing the same pattern over and over, and it&#8217;s very satisfying to complete stories for each component. So it&#8217;s a good area for first-timers.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. So is there anything else, things that you found that you wanted to talk about or that you want to point out for our listeners?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> I don&#8217;t think there was anything else in this.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, it&#8217;s all code quality and ESLinting and all components, the other components changes, but they were all just code quality changes, that changed the button size or deprecate some size values. All right, so this is the end of the 19.8 Good Mood Changelog.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What’s in active development or discussed</h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading alignwide\">Create-Block Theme<strong>                                                  </strong></h4>\n\n\n\n<p>So we&#8217;re coming to the section of what&#8217;s an active development or discuss. I wanted to take the opportunity to talking to Sarah, to talk also about the Create Block Theme Plugin and see what&#8217;s in the works. And there was a release a couple of months ago, but there are also things that you are working on, so why don&#8217;t you take us through it?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> Yeah. Yeah. So it hasn&#8217;t really been prioritized that much recently. I think we kind of go in waves and it really depends what&#8217;s happening in the Gutenberg repo as well. Because we don&#8217;t want to be competing. We want to either complement each other or if something&#8217;s taken a while to come into Gutenberg, then maybe we can get it into the plugin first. So it&#8217;s always a little bit tricky trying to decide what to work on. And then if there&#8217;s nothing happening in that plugin, it&#8217;s probably because we&#8217;re like, oh, patterns seem to be getting quite a lot of work in Gutenberg. Let&#8217;s just cool it a little bit in the plugin and see what happens. And then we&#8217;ll come back to plugin.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I think we&#8217;re kind of in one of those flows at the moment, but my feeling is that probably in the new year we&#8217;re going to pick up work again. And we already have a few things in flight from a lot of different contributors as well. There&#8217;s some improvements to pattern management. Bug fixes with the way that Theme JSON is passed. And there&#8217;s a fix for localizing the background image URL on the Cover Block as well. So there&#8217;s a few specific fixes and then some pattern management improvements.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But then we also have so many issues in there. It&#8217;s getting a mini version of Gutenberg really. So yeah, we have got a project board actually, if anyone&#8217;s interested in helping out. There&#8217;s definitely some triage work that could be done, but we do have an existing list of things that we think are good things to work on next. We definitely welcome more contributors. I think it&#8217;s a really good place to work if you&#8217;re interested in Block Theming and you like working on Gutenberg as well, but you maybe don&#8217;t want to dive too deeply into the Gutenberg repo. It&#8217;s a very specific smaller repo, but with basically all the same guidelines and stuff.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So yeah, I don&#8217;t have any specific news, but I do think work is going to pick up in the next month or so. And I&#8217;m looking forward to getting another release out as well.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. So from the conversations that I had on Core Days and also Word Games recently is that a lot of people really like the Create Block Theme plugin just to get easily out the user changes that are in the Block Editor, in the Site Editor, specifically changing Block Styles or having new headers, changing templates. There&#8217;s a lot of things that can go on a site and agencies really like it, that they can get everything else in the file directory style again, and then in the GitHub for version control.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So that&#8217;s a really good plugin to use for that, especially when you&#8217;re theme developer. Or the site builders are actually no coders that use the site editor to build it out and then you can in one swoosh kind of put it back into the final.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> Yeah. Yeah, that&#8217;s essentially what the plugin is, it&#8217;s a good way to sum it up. It&#8217;s basically from database to file system.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Right.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> The whole site edits the stuff. Yeah, that&#8217;s what we see so often, so many people want&#8230; Because of course you want a version control, the new way of theming, but everything tends to go&#8230; Because, again, obviously it goes into the database because it&#8217;s all changes on that side. So yeah, it just gives you a way to easily pull that out into the files. But yeah, I think we have the same problem as everyone else as well. It&#8217;s tough to keep up with Gutenberg.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. That&#8217;s what I figured. Yeah. Especially with the section styles that came in 6.7, 6.6, and then I&#8217;ll find a nice one in 6.7, with a new theming, the default theme as well. And it&#8217;s not settled yet there. There are some quirks with the section style, so I think waiting for them to resolve would really be helpful before you add them to the Create Block Theme plugin.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the pattern export, that&#8217;s pretty much the one that&#8217;s missing, what people feel missing, but there is no way around it. Through the pattern page you can actually mark the patterns that you want to export and put it all in one JSON file, and then add it to your&#8230; You obviously need to massage those files to get into your theme, but you definitely can at least get them out the database and into a file system, even if it&#8217;s just JSON.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> With the Create Block Theme at the moment you can export patterns. So we do have the starting of pattern management so you can export sync patterns.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Oh, cool.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris: </em>Yeah. Yeah. It&#8217;d be great to get more feedback on that, because I think ideally you want to export any pattern.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> Well, in my mind, we probably need to add UI to the patterns page, because at the moment, all the controls are on the Create Block Theme panel, and it&#8217;s getting a bit full. So I think, yeah, we maybe need to add another panel that&#8217;s specific to patterns and then we can do some more fine-grained control on the patterns page. And then when you go to export, then maybe you could open the original panel and then you&#8217;ve already set up way off, for what patterns to be exported. But yeah, there&#8217;s some initial work there, so you can export some patterns.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yes. Excellent. Yes, but not others. Yeah, I think what a lot of theme developers are really waiting for is the Synced Pattern overrides for Themes, that they can offer some patterns. Half the content kind of singled out, but you can&#8217;t change them anymore, only change them with&#8230; And change them then side-wide. Something that the theme developers are really waiting for. A lot of us have had hoped that it would be in 6.7, but yeah, we will see if it makes it into 6.8.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> That was partly why we added the Synced Patterns to Create Block Theme, because it&#8217;s like halfway to the Synced Pattern overrides that&#8217;s coming in Gutenberg. But yeah, we were the same. We were kind of waiting and just like, oh, we won&#8217;t work. Because we both, the primary contributors who work on both the plugin, and we work on Gutenberg as well. So it&#8217;s kind of like, do I work in this? Do I put all my time into Gutenberg or do I put a bit of time into Create Block Theme? So yeah, because we thought that was coming. But yeah, it is coming. It&#8217;s just&#8230;</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> It&#8217;s coming, but it&#8217;s tied to the Block Bindings API. And the block bindings API is definitely not finished and it&#8217;s only for four blocks, and before they want to add it to other blocks, they still need to figure something out. There are a few technical hurdles there, and as long as the Block Bindings isn&#8217;t finalized I think the Synced Patterns overrides won&#8217;t make it for themes. Because all of a sudden you also have backwards compatibility issues there with themes. But good things to come for Twenty Twenty Five. Are you looking forward to a special thing that might come in 2025? Well, we don&#8217;t have a roadmap yet, but yeah, we all have hopes and dreams.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: I guess the roadmap probably coming soon though as well. There&#8217;s so many things going on. I&#8217;m really looking forward to seeing where all the stylebook changes end up. That&#8217;s feeling really good and I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing where that evolves. And I&#8217;m really enjoying working with DataViews as well. I really like all the stuff that&#8217;s foundational. Because it feels like that&#8217;s going to be like a 10 times or a 100 times in quality or experience. Yeah, I&#8217;m enjoying seeing those at the moment, so I&#8217;m looking forward to what&#8217;s coming next year with both of those.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah, I have the same thing. It&#8217;s kind of the DataViews are really exciting when you kind of think, I don&#8217;t know if we get to that in Twenty twenty five, that it will take over WP admin, but I think we get a good look at how it could be. There&#8217;s a lot of extensibility issues that need to be worked out because that has been around for so many, many years and people have built on it. And the backwards compatibility piece is really something that you don&#8217;t want to mess up too much. So I think there&#8217;s a lot of conversations and back-and-forth, and also testing to be done from the plugin developers community that need to come around and figure out what they need and what they don&#8217;t need.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> I&#8217;d also like to see some more fun blocks as well, encouraging people to build more pianos and snake games.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. Well we are also waiting for accordions and tabs.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris:</em> Yeah, that&#8217;s exciting. But probably more important, yes.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> But yeah, I like the fun part. And also, I saw some great patterns, visual patterns that I want to see if we can do this with blocks, kind of Group Blocks, InnerBlocks, and have some fun with that on a visual part of it and maybe expand the Block Museum again, that has been around for two years now, or even longer, I don&#8217;t know. Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So yeah, I&#8217;m looking forward to the State of the Word. I think there&#8217;s some great stuff that&#8217;s coming in there that we know of, on what the outlook is. State of the Word, if you haven&#8217;t seen it yet, is on December 16th at 9:00 AM UTC, though that&#8217;s middle of the night for the Americans. But it will be live-streamed and it&#8217;ll be recorded and it&#8217;ll be available probably within two or three hours of the event ending.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will be in Tokyo. It&#8217;s a wave at the large Japanese community that has pushed WordPress forward very early on. And I think the market share of WordPress is about 80% in Japan of websites. I remember the story that Matt told at one of the town halls or AMAs throughout the years, that Japanese was the first language it was translated to, and they did a complete copy of WordPress and translated every string and then released the new copy.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was no Holly Glots team. There was no tools to do all that and with the PO files and all that. So that was kind of the start of having WordPress in a different language and Japanese was the first language that it was introduced to. So there&#8217;s a big tip to the hat making the State of the Word taking place in Tokyo. And there will be&#8230; Yeah, of course the keynote of Matt, but there will also be&#8230; We&#8217;ll see Mary Hubbard, the new executive director for the open source project and so much more.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matias is going to be doing some demos I think. So there&#8217;s some great stuff coming down. That&#8217;s kind of the save the date thing, and that&#8217;s the end of the show. Oh, as always, the show notes will be published on Gutenbergtimes.com/podcasts. This is episode 112, a hundred and twelve, and if you have questions, suggestions, or news you want us to talk about, send them to <a href=\"mailto:Changelog@gutenbergtimes.com\">Changelog@gutenbergtimes.com</a>. That&#8217;s <a href=\"http://gutenbergtimes.com\">Changelog@ gutenbergtimes.com</a>. And the Gutenberg Times is now also on Mastodon and on Bluesky.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you have left Twitter and all of a sudden in search of information, you can get them from Gutenberg Times as well as from myself. Are you on any of the new kids on the block, Sarah?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Yes. Yeah, I&#8217;ve been trying to use Bluesky much more and yeah, I&#8217;m really enjoying it. I&#8217;m finding more and more WordPress news coming out over on Bluesky too. Yeah. Yeah, I&#8217;m loving it. Trying to be a bit more mindful about using it as well. I&#8217;m not great at social stuff. But yeah, it&#8217;s the thing at the moment, I&#8217;m going to try and ride that wave and be a bit better at social media.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> Yeah. It feels like less noise, more signal, but I think the more people are coming, that kind of changes again. But yeah, it&#8217;s really an interesting small community there. A little smaller than on Twitter, but that&#8217;s changing rapidly. I saw in the last two weeks probably they&#8217;ve got 100s of followers more, that are coming over. So it&#8217;s a really good place.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m also diving into the Mastodon ActivityPub, Fediverse kind of thing. And I need to watch Matias Pfefferle&#8217;s videos that he did with DocPop on the Fediverse. That&#8217;s probably something I&#8217;d do for a holiday vacation, because it&#8217;s not part of my normal job and I really wanted to dive in and see what&#8217;s happening there.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>All right, well thank you so much, Sarah. This was wonderful and lovely to have you.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And dear listeners, we will be back in the second week of January with episode 113 and see what&#8217;s happening there. We might even push it until Gutenberg 20.0 comes out and see what&#8217;s in there, because it&#8217;s going to be&#8230; Maybe there are some Easter eggs in there. Who knows? All right, get us out of here. Take care.

He wrote, “While Mr. Mullenweg&#8217;s first attacks pushed me to leave this community and stop contributing to WordPress® open source projects (including BuddyPress®), the latest one (making the premium code of a plugin marketed by the attacked competitor available for free ) convinced me that disapproving and condemning them as a former contributor was not enough. Indeed, I have also decided to stop using WordPress® to manage this website.”</p>\n\n\n\n<p>In October this year, WordPress.org took over WP Engine’s <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/acf-plugin-forked-to-secure-custom-fields-plugin\">ACF plugin</a>, citing security issues, and renamed it Secure Custom Fields (<a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/\">https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/</a>) and then  released the <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/wordpress-org-releases-new-secure-custom-fields-plugin-with-acf-pro-features\">‘Secure Custom Fields’ Plugin</a> (<a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/secure-custom-fields/\">https://wordpress.org/plugins/secure-custom-fields/</a>) with ACF Pro features last month. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>The news of Viet leaving sparked discussions across the WordPress community. One user on <a href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/Wordpress/comments/1h4ek6j/buddypress_lead_developer_quits_wp_blackout/\">Reddit</a> commented, “I don&#8217;t blame Mr Mathieu, but honestly, I hope as a community, we can bring this madness to an end, A lot of damage has been done, but I am hopeful we can forget the past at one point, make amends and move forward and come back with a fucking vengeance. Not asking for Peace in the World, just asking for Peace in the WordPress ecosystem.”  Others expressed curiosity about which platform Viet would migrate to next.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the Automattic -WP Engine dispute started, several prominent contributors, including <a href=\"https://bjornjohansen.com/farewell-to-wp/\">Bjørn Johansen</a>, <a href=\"https://x.com/cdils/status/1851045517901357510\">Carrie Dils</a>, <a href=\"https://thefragens.com/wordpress-on-hiatus/\">Andy Fragen</a>, and <a href=\"https://chriswiegman.com/2024/10/so-long-wordpress/\">Chris Wiegman</a>, have ceased their involvement with WordPress.
