De nuevo volvemos a la carga hablando de cómo afectan los bots de IA a las búsquedas y el posicionamiento y de paso tratamos alguna que otra herramienta para crear sitios webs con IA y ya de paso os recordamos que sería estupendo que os apuntaseis al canal de Youtube del podcast https://www.youtube.com/potenciapro para llegar a los 500 suscriptores, la semana pasada os apuntasteis 8, de modo que el camino a los 500 se ha acortado bastante. ¡MUCHAS GRACIAS! Tema del día En un ecosistema digital donde la inmediatez lo es todo, asistimos a una paradoja fundamental: el silencio de la barra de búsqueda. Este fenómeno no es un accidente, sino la consecuencia de una crisis silenciosa alimentada por nuestros propios datos. Como hablamos en el capítulo del podcast, el auge de la era del «Cero Clic» y la inteligencia artificial generativa está reconfigurando la relación entre el usuario y la información, llevando a casos extremos de canibalismo entre bots que luchan por un tráfico cada vez más retenido en las plataformas. Frente a este panorama, la conclusión es ineludible: para las marcas y los creadores de contenido, la única vía posible es adaptarse o desaparecer. Mariano nos hace un resumen navegando entre estos puntos: El Silencio de la Barra de Búsqueda Contexto: Los Datos de una Crisis Silenciosa Análisis: El Auge del «Cero Clic» y la IA Ejemplos: El Canibalismo de los Bots Conclusión: Adaptarse o Desaparecer Actualidad Hablamos entre otras cosas de la celebración de la WordCamp Europe que se celebrará en Cracovia este verano, de que estoy deseando ir para allá y de las distintas llamadas que se están realizando desde la organización.

Lucas Radke über das WordCamp Europe 2026

✏️ Suscribirse https://youtu.be/7EiwkclIKeM WordPress, automatización, no-code, inteligencia artificial, eventos y comunidad. En este episodio ponemos todo eso sobre la mesa desde un enfoque muy concreto: qué nos está funcionando de verdad en el trabajo diario con clientes y qué no. Sin promesas, sin teorías bonitas y sin vender herramientas por venderlas. Solo experiencias reales, dudas abiertas y aprendizajes acumulados después de años trabajando con proyectos digitales. Eventos WordPress y no-code: qué aportan y qué no Empezamos comentando varios eventos recientes relacionados con WordPress y no-code. Por un lado, eventos locales y de formato pequeño; por otro, la referencia constante a WordCamp y al ecosistema WordPress en general. La conclusión parcial es clara: los eventos aportan contexto, personas y perspectiva, pero no siempre aportan profundidad técnica. En el evento de no-code en Bilbao, por ejemplo, el enfoque era claramente de negocio. Casos reales de gente que ha creado productos y está facturando con herramientas no-code. Eso es interesante y valioso, pero si vienes buscando detalle técnico o “cómo se hace”, puede quedarse corto. Aun así, refuerza una idea clave que repetimos mucho: La herramienta importa menos que el problema que estás resolviendo. En el caso del WordPress Day de Sevilla, el formato pequeño juega a favor. Menos complejidad organizativa, más fácil de repetir, más sostenible para la comunidad. No es una WordCamp, pero cumple su función: networking, conversación, aprendizaje y contacto humano. Y eso, en este sector, sigue siendo relevante. También aparece de fondo WordCamp Europe, no tanto por las charlas en sí, sino por todo lo que ocurre alrededor: encuentros paralelos, conversaciones informales y relaciones que no nacen en un Zoom. Clave del bloque: ir a eventos con expectativas realistas y medir su valor por lo que te llevas después, no por el cartel. Profesionalizar servicios digitales más allá del código Uno de los ejes fuertes del episodio es la profesionalización del servicio. No desde el punto de vista técnico, sino desde todo lo que rodea al trabajo con clientes. Aquí insistimos en algo importante: ser profesional no es solo ejecutar bien, es comunicar bien, documentar bien y reducir fricciones. Comunicación con clientes: emails con contexto Un ejemplo muy concreto es la forma de escribir emails a clientes. No basta con decir “esto ya está hecho”. Estamos intentando: Explicar qué se ha hecho Por qué se ha hecho así Qué implicaciones tiene Cuál es el siguiente paso Qué necesitamos del cliente (de forma explícita) Esto lleva más tiempo, sí. Pero ahorra malentendidos, bloqueos y conversaciones circulares. Es tiempo invertido en orden mental y en confianza. Registro de proyecto compartido Otro paso es crear un registro de proyecto accesible para el cliente, usando herramientas como Notion. Antes estas notas estaban solo en Obsidian, como documentación interna. Ahora el cliente puede consultar qué se decidió, cuándo y por qué. No es para todos los proyectos, pero en trabajos recurrentes o de largo plazo reduce mucho la dependencia del correo y de la memoria. Procesos y herramientas consistentes También hablamos de la importancia de repetir procesos y herramientas: Usar siempre el mismo sistema de backups Tener claro cómo hacer staging No aceptar cualquier plugin o stack heredado sin criterio No es dogmatismo. Es control. Cada excepción añade fricción, riesgo y tiempo perdido. Automatización con WordPress y Make: cuando “no se puede” sí se puede Entramos en un caso real de automatización que conecta WordPress, Make y Discord. El punto de partida era una creencia extendida: ciertas publicaciones en Discord no se pueden automatizar. Probando con calma, se demuestra que sí. Se construye un flujo donde: WordPress actúa como origen Se filtra por categorías Make orquesta el proceso Se llama directamente a la API de Discord Cada podcast publica en su canal correspondiente El valor no está en lo complejo del sistema, sino en cuestionar la suposición inicial. Muchas tareas manuales siguen existiendo simplemente porque nadie ha probado si realmente hay alternativa. Este tipo de automatización no “vende” por lo técnica que es, sino por el tiempo y la fricción que elimina en el día a día del cliente. Y aquí aparece una pregunta importante: ¿cómo empaquetar este valor sin vender “automatización” como palabra vacía? Automatización, WordPress y posicionamiento del servicio A partir del caso anterior reflexionamos sobre cómo nos definimos profesionalmente. Automatización y WordPress son herramientas. El cliente no compra herramientas, compra resultados. Hablar solo de “automatización” atrae a gente que ya sabe que la necesita. Pero deja fuera a muchos clientes que tienen problemas operativos claros y no los llaman así. Sale la comparación clásica entre “páginas web” y “desarrollo web”. El lenguaje importa porque define el tipo de cliente que llega. Antes de afinar el mensaje, hay que tener claro el público. Y ese proceso no siempre está cerrado. Aquí no damos una respuesta definitiva, pero sí una dirección: menos foco en la herramienta, más foco en el problema y el impacto real. Inteligencia artificial en el trabajo diario: luces y sombras Probamos y comentamos varias herramientas de IA desde un uso real, no desde la demo. Manus AI Promete multi-agente, contexto infinito y creación de webs completas. Sobre el papel suena potente, pero al analizarlo con calma no vemos todavía una diferenciación clara frente a otras soluciones. No se descarta, pero tampoco genera adopción inmediata. Gemini y Google Workspace En borradores de email el resultado es irregular. A veces pierde matices importantes o responde a la instrucción en lugar de redactar el mensaje final. En cambio, las notas automáticas de Google Meet funcionan mejor para reuniones, aunque echamos en falta acceso claro a la transcripción completa. Krisp y transcripción de reuniones Krisp ofrece más control: audio, texto completo, acciones. Pero introduce fricción (avisos, activación manual). No hay una herramienta perfecta; la elección depende del contexto, del número de reuniones y del nivel de control que necesites. WordPress actual, novedades y lectura crítica del mercado Comentamos brevemente novedades recientes de WordPress: mejoras de rendimiento, accesibilidad, interfaz y APIs. Pasos en la buena dirección, pero sin revoluciones. También cuestionamos cifras de mercado que circulan sobre WordPress, Shopify y otras plataformas. Las comparaciones dependen mucho de la fuente y del contexto. Mezclar plataformas generalistas con ecommerce puro lleva a conclusiones poco fiables. La idea se repite: leer datos con criterio y sin titulares fáciles. Conclusión En este episodio cruzamos eventos, WordPress, automatización, procesos con clientes e inteligencia artificial con una idea común: trabajar mejor no va de sumar herramientas, sino de reducir fricción y tomar mejores decisiones. Quedan muchas preguntas abiertas —sobre posicionamiento, sobre IA, sobre cómo empaquetar servicios— y precisamente ahí está el valor de la conversación completa. Si has llegado hasta aquí, los matices, ejemplos y reflexiones finales se entienden mucho mejor escuchando el episodio entero y siguiendo el hilo tal y como lo construimos en audio. Preguntas frecuentes ¿Merece la pena ir a eventos WordPress pequeños? Sí, si buscas comunidad, networking y contexto. No siempre aportan profundidad técnica, pero sí relaciones y perspectiva. ¿La automatización con WordPress y Make es solo para proyectos grandes? No. Muchas automatizaciones simples eliminan tareas manuales diarias con mucho impacto, incluso en proyectos pequeños. ¿La IA ya sustituye procesos de trabajo reales? Todavía no. Ayuda en borradores, notas y análisis, pero sigue fallando en matices clave y requiere supervisión. ¿Cómo aportar más valor a clientes sin trabajar más horas? Mejorando comunicación, documentación y procesos. No es solo hacer más rápido, es reducir fricción y malentendidos.

Salü, WordPress makers! Four flights. Countless conversations. A few unforgettable parties. A missing suitcase. And one very hyped team, now back home from Basel, and still buzzing. WCEU 2025 was...

This is the recording between Matt Mullenweg and Mary Hubbard on stage at WordCamp Europe 2025. They covered everything from regulation in the EU, the FAIR package manager announcement, and new education pathways, to what's next for WordPress core and the ecosystem. The session started with Mary interviewing Matt, followed by a live Q&A with the audience, tackling concerns from longtime contributors, organizers, and first-time attendees alike.Matt opened with thoughts on the European regulatory landscape, pointing out both the good intentions and friction caused by cookie consent banners and compliance rules. He emphasized WordPress' alignment with other open-source CMS projects like Drupal and Joomla, and the potential for advocacy through EU-based hosting companies. The topic of establishing a legal presence for the WordPress Foundation in the EU came up—an idea that's being considered but seen as too complex to act on right now.The FAIR project announcement got a cautious but open-minded response from Matt. While he acknowledged the potential of a federated repository for plugins and themes, he highlighted significant concerns around trust, rollout coordination, and analytics. He stressed the importance of plugin safety, org infrastructure, and recent advances in automated vulnerability scanning. Then came a rapid-fire Q&A: contributors asked about AI in WordPress, the sustainability team's future, WooCommerce's branding against Shopify, Campus Connect's expansion, funding WordCamps in underrepresented regions, and even the need to modernize internal tools like CampTix. A big highlight was the 150-hour university credit pilot launching in Pisa this month—an exciting new way to bring student contributors into the project at scale.Have a listen to the whole audio episode while you're on the go!  ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode, I unpack the big announcement behind FAIR — the Federated and Independent Repository — a new package manager initiative under the Linux Foundation. Scooped by The Repository and launched during WordCamp Europe week, FAIR promises decentralized plugin and theme distribution for WordPress, reducing reliance on wordpress.org and introducing a new governance model for the ecosystem. On paper, that's a huge shift.But I've got more questions than answers. Why the Linux Foundation? Is this really just for WordPress? And what does “a replacement for the ecosystem” even mean? For freelancers, agency owners, and power users like you and me, the pitch feels abstract. FAIR might offer technical insurance, but what does it actually do to help us build faster, better, more sustainable sites today?This episode is less about hot takes and more about critical thinking — exploring FAIR from the lens of a working professional in WordPress, not someone living in contributor Slack channels. I want to know how this changes our day-to-day, and whether FAIR will drive real innovation… or just become another layer of complexity.Key Takeaways:“This isn't a fork of WordPress — it's a backend distribution layer, a replacement for the plugin update plumbing we all rely on.”“I have more questions than clarity: is this really just about stability, or is it something much bigger?”“Adoption is everything. Without host and agency support, FAIR is just another plugin.”“WordPress has a packaging problem. FAIR needs to solve that — not just technically, but with messaging that speaks to the average power user.”“We want open source to thrive. But we also want clarity, transparency, and solutions that actually make WordPress better for our clients.”URLs Mentioned:FAIR press release from the Linux FoundationThe Repository's FAIR coverageAspirePressWPCCAlt Ctrl Org livestream ★ Support this podcast ★

On the podcast today we have Giulia Laco. Giulia is a web designer and developer who has been working on the web since the mid 1990s. Her primary interests are web typography & font design. This is the last of our podcasts from WordCamp Europe 2023. I spoke to Giulia in Athens because she had just finished her presentation entitled “Typographic readability in theme design & development”. In this session she explored how designers can assist with the readability of websites through careful consideration of the fonts they choose, and why they choose them. It turns out there's quite a lot to consider, and if you've not given this topic much thought in the past, you'll perhaps learn something new. We begin the podcast talking through how, at the start of the web, we were making do with a limited range of tools to help us make typographic choices. Giulia talks about the fact that the manner in which we read has changed since the dawn of the internet. Many people now mostly consume small passages of text, which need to be considered in a different way to longer writing. We round off the conversation with Giulia telling us where we can find out more, as well as some of the thought leaders in this space. It's a fascinating conversation about a subject that often gets overlooked. Website designers, this episode is for you.

On the podcast today we have Carrie Dils. Carrie is a WordPress-loving freelance developer with more than twenty years experience in web development, and full-scope WordPress projects.

In the podcast we talk about how developers can make their plugins and themes available in multiple languages. Carrie explain why this is a good idea as well as how you might achieve this. She also discusses some of the resources which have been most helpful to her when learning about this important topic. If you're a developer who is curious about making your code available to a wider audience through internationalisation, this podcast is for you.

On the podcast today we have Louise Towler. She joined me at the recent WordCamp Europe in Athens to talk about websites and making them more sustainable. Louise is the founder of Indigo Tree, a UK based agency with deep expertise in WordPress websites. She gave a presentation at WordCamp Europe entitled, Digital sustainability: The benefits for business and the environment in which she emphasised the impact websites can have on our planet. Her aim was to deliver practical tips for users and developers to help them make informed decisions. This presentation is the focus of today's podcast, and we cover quite a lot of ground. If you're interested in how your sites can become more sustainable, this podcast is for you.

On the podcast today we have James Dominy. James is a computer scientist with a masters degree in bioinformatics. He lives in Ireland, working at the WPEngine Limerick office. This is the second podcast recorded at WordCamp Europe 2023 in Athens. James gave a talk at the event about the influence of AI on the WordPress community, and how it's going to disrupt so many of the roles which WordPressers currently occupy. We talk about the recent rise of ChatGPT and the fact that it's made AI available to almost anyone. In less than twelve months many of us have gone from never touching AI technologies to using them on a daily basis to speed up some aspect of our work. The discussion moves on to the rate at which AI systems might evolve, and whether or not they're truly intelligent, or just a suite of technologies which masquerade as intelligent. This gets into the subject of whether or not AI is in any meaningful way innately intelligent, or just good at making us think that it is, and whether or not the famous Turing test is a worthwhile measure of the abilities of an AI. We then move on from the conceptual understanding of AI to more concrete ways it can be implemented. What ways can WordPress users implement AI right now, and what innovations might we reasonably expect to be available in the future? It's a fascinating conversation whether or not you've used AI tools in the past.
