Podcasts about wordpress core

Llega la creación de un nuevo equipo dentro de WordPress: Make Core AI.

On the podcast today we have Felix Arntz who discusses speculative loading, a new WordPress 6.8 feature designed to make websites faster by preloading pages before users navigate to them. Felix explains how it works, why WordPress uses a conservative default setting for broad compatibility, and how more eager configurations are possible with plugins or code. The episode also covers how performance gains, though seemingly small, add up at scale and are carefully measured using large datasets. Felix highlights the balance between speed improvements and environmental considerations, and shares insights into the data-driven work of the WordPress Performance Team. If you've ever wondered how large-scale, browser-level improvements make their way into WordPress Core, or simply want to know if there's a way to make your own WordPress site that much faster, this episode is for you.

Manton and Daniel catch up on the latest developments in the WordPress vs. WPEngine kerfuffle, and continuing after-effects. They talk about Matt Mullenweg's tendency lately to deliver seemingly calm and encouraging messages that are nonetheless laced with evidence of his spite towards antagonists. Finally they talk about Automattic's decision to reduce its own contribution to WordPress Core development, and the implications for the rest of the WordPress community. The post Episode 625: What Fresh Hell appeared first on Core Intuition.

It's a new year, but drama in the WordPress community keeps going. Automattic, the company that runs WordPress.com, said that it would reduce its contribution to WordPress core, the open-source project that acts as the backbone of most of Automattic's products and ensures the longevity of WordPress as a technology and community.

On the podcast today we have Andy Fragen who is a dedicated member of the WordPress community as well as a trauma surgeon. Somehow he manages to balance the demands of his profession with his passion for the community and, as you will hear, to important work inside of WordPress Core. Andy talks about the important topic of automatic rollbacks in WordPress, a feature aimed at reverting to a previous version if an automatic plugin or theme update fails, ensuring the website remains functional for users. I've managed to encapsulate the idea into the previous sentence, but as you will hear, the execution of that idea was anything other than straightforward. If you're interested in the behind-the-scenes development of a WordPress feature that quietly keeps your website running smoothly, and in hearing how a dedicated contributor balances his passion for WordPress with a demanding medical career, this episode is for you.

On the podcast today we have Thomas J. Raef. Thomas is the founder of We Watch Your Website, a company that has been removing malware from websites since 2007. During that time he's seen many changes in the methods hackers use to take over a website, and that's the focus of the podcast today. With hackers becoming increasingly agile in their tactics, targeting everything from plugins to session cookies, Thomas brings to the table data he's gathered from 2023 that puts the spotlight on the evolving digital threat landscape. We're all used to hearing that plugins, themes, and sometimes WordPress Core, are the most likely culprits when something goes wrong. The story goes that out of date code, or a zero day is discovered and leveraged. Whilst Thomas does not doubt that this is true, he's here to paint a somewhat different picture. A picture which puts the focus upon stolen session cookies as the most important factor in website attacks last year. If you've ever been concerned about the security of your WordPress site or intrigued by the intricacies of cybersecurity, this episode is for you.

On this episode of Dev Branch, titled “EP33 – Our 2024 Predictions,” the panel, including Jason Tucker, Sé Reed, and Jason Cosper, delve into their predictions and expectations for WordPress in 2024. The discussion kicks off with a focus on WordPress's development and the potential improvements and changes anticipated in the upcoming year. They explore topics such as the implementation of automatic update rollbacks in WordPress, the challenges with the current release schedule, and the desire for fewer, more impactful updates. Show Notes: https://wpwatercooler.com/devbranch/ep33-our-2024-predictions/ A significant part of the conversation revolves around the Fonts API, particularly the integration of custom fonts in WordPress and the possibility of a WordPress-specific font library. This ties into a broader discussion about WordPress's evolution towards a more modular and customizable platform, catering to diverse user needs. Another major theme is the user experience within the WordPress admin interface. The panel discusses the complexities of user role management and the need for a more streamlined, intuitive approach to handling different user roles and capabilities, especially as WordPress continues to grow and evolve. Lastly, the episode touches on the rise of AI-generated plugins and the potential impact on the WordPress ecosystem. The team speculates on how this trend could lead to a proliferation of similar plugins, making the case for integrating more fundamental functionalities into the WordPress core. In summary, the episode provides insightful predictions and desires for WordPress in 2024, focusing on development improvements, user experience, and the impact of emerging technologies like AI on the platform.

The dust is settling on the Ollie theme's onboarding experience, which was set to be included in the theme's core functionality when author, Mike McCalister, submitted it to the theme repo.The onboarding experience bucked the trend of traditional themes and included additional functionality like an onboarding wizard, building pages with the click of a button, and embedding helpful content. You can see a walkthrough of it in my video on YouTube.This was viewed as innovative and something that the WordPress experience desperately needed.However, guidelines from the Theme Team generally draw the line at this type of functionality to go beyond what a theme should serve as: a presentation layer.Innovation. Who is responsible for innovation in WordPress?I view the Theme Team as drawing up the rules of the road for a wider range of new contributors and to safeguard end users. Help usher along the WordPress theme development experience for new contributors, guiding theme on building themes the “WordPress way.”To maximize what WordPress core features gives us, in a safe fashion. Which trickles down to the enduser. They get a theme that works with WordPress core, with code that meets WordPress standards, and is safe from malicious intent.Encourage developers to meet end user desires, all filtering through a volunteer-lead program. It's a true testament to Open Source.Back to innovation: Is the Theme Team also responsible for pushing innovation of WordPress?Sarah Gooding collected the feedback from WordPress leadership which was largely in favor of including Ollie's onboarding and seemed to think that this could be a useful “experiment” to progress the block based theme experience.In my world, this brings up two issues: There's no communication layer between WordPress Core and the Theme Team. No QA process. No product meetings. No roadmap overview.This is the most common issue in product development or enterprise software sales. Customer Z wants something that has never been developed before in the core product. Sales and corporate stakehodlers get excited because this could be a shiny new toy. CEO tells product team to develop it by end of next week.Time marches on, market shifts, and now that killer-feature is just worthless tech debt. CEO turns back to the stakeholders and wants to hold someone accountable for a failed product. Product Team says that the squeaky wheel sales person is the one that wanted this in the first place, but that sales person quit 6 months ago and is now working for Sales Force.There was no true process in place for the product team to pull from the lifestream of customer feedback from the rest of the organization.Remember, I said there were two issues…Humans be huma'ning and out for for commercial interests.Call a spade a spade. Maybe in this case, a theme author a Jetpack?Seriously. Automattic/Matt aren't the only entity out to commercialize their product. I assume, based on my interview with McCalister from seven years ago, he's going to have a commercial option. And, as I've said countless times before, there's nothing wrong with it, just say it, and not just Mike — everyone.This is the same issue I've been covering as a content creator and as a former theme author from 10 years ago, is that a majority of theme authors cycling through our volunteer-lead Theme Team have commercial interests at play.That's not a bad thing. Go ahead, secure the bag.It's that these moments in WordPress history, eventually expose the faults with a massive distribution powerhouse (that is WordPress.org) with loose community guidelines governing what could be 100's of millions of dollars worth of commercial theme upsells.“If that theme got in, what about me?”“If they are doing it that way, why can't we do it this way?”“How long will they be on the featured theme list for? What about us?”So there's whatabousim debt and real technical debt to consider when providing a pass to Ollie.Conclusion(I promised myself less of this type of content, but here I am.)Do I think what Mike built into Ollie is good? Yes.Do I think it helps WordPress users using his theme? Yes.But I don't see the upside in just this theme operating this way, making an impact across the entire WordPress ecosystem. The stress, attacks, and pressure placed on Theme Team volunteers alone don't make this worth it. They'll have to deal with 100's of authors coming in to build out their own experience. And when they don't pass the test? We rinse and repeat this vicious cycle.Commercial theme authors standing on their virtuous soapbox saying they are doing it “for the good of WordPress. Use our coupon code: GUTENBERG to save 20% at checkout.”Ollie can still make an impact by just existing in the market — even off WordPress.org. Heck, it already has. If it catches the eye of Anne McCarthy or Richard Tabor it might bring this kind of experience into core WordPress, which could be the best outcome for everyone.End users and theme authors.Or Mike could just a build a plugin or release set of code that any theme author could adopt into their theme to make this happen, which would leave a bigger impact on the community as a whole. Speaking of, I invited Mike on to the podcast, but he's declined for now.Anyway, that's the spirit of open source, and the excitement of being in the WordPress ecosystem. We're able to pluck a lesson out of the clouds of chaos, which we invest back into the foundation of WordPress' success.But I'll die on the hill defending the volunteers that are upholding the guidelines set in the community, operating in transparency, and for the good of WordPress as whole — Every. Single. Time.Impacts of AI on content and a look ahead to WordPress 6.4This week I had the pleasure of interviewing Brian Jackson, talking all about content marketing and the impacts of AI.Brian was a prolific content marketer for Kinsta, and spent a portion of his life writing content for the brand during their growth cycle.

On the podcast today we have Robert Abela. Robert is the CEO and founder of MelaPress, formerly known as WP White Security. They make niche WordPress security and admin plugins. He has over 18 years experience in the IT and software industries, and has written numerous web security articles and white papers. We all know that your website is potentially under attack 24 hours a day, 365 days of this year, but why is that, and what can we do to mitigate that risk? Robert talks today about the threats posed to your website in terms of WordPress Core, plugins and themes. We also talk about how website security is an ongoing process, what worked yesterday might now work tomorrow and so your organisation needs to be mindful of this as an ongoing concern. The discussion moves on to the layers of tech upon which your website is built as well and the need to prune your legitimate users from time to time. If you're curious about how you can secure your WordPress website as it grows, this podcast is for you.

In this episode, Rob and Brian review the biggest new features of WordPress 6.2, the integration of the Openverse image library into WordPress Core, discuss whether "Full Site Editing" is really ready to move out of Beta, and whether the Openverse is proof that web privacy regulations have become a hindrance rather than a help for the typical web user.

On the podcast today we have Fränk Klein. Fränk is a self-taught developer. He started out learning PHP in 2011 and from there found his way to WordPress. Over the years he's worked for Automattic at WordPress.com and WordPress VIP, and is now a principal developer at Human Made, an enterprise WordPress agency. We talk about how Fränk decided early on that he was going to start developing with blocks and, more recently, with the full site editing capabilities now built into WordPress Core. Fränk explains how he sees the adoption of Gutenberg as inevitable. WordPress is moving away from the classic approach of content creation to a more visual, block-based experience. He thinks that it's important to become an expert at building websites and custom solutions for clients, and for taking the time to learn the new tools that this future will require.

On the podcast today we have Eric Karkovack. He's been in the WordPress space for ages and contributes in a whole variety of ways. I've been wanting to get him on the show for ages, but our calendars kept colliding, until today! We talk about two, not related, subjects. The first is WebP images, and the second is canonical plugins. You might not have heard of WebP images, but they're all the rage! They are / were a project which came out of Google, and their intention was to create a new image format which would create images of high quality, but of a smaller file size. They've not yet made it into WordPress Core. Why is that? We also talk about 'Canonical Plugins' which is a proposal (see the links below in the show notes on the website) to increase the footprint of what WordPress can do, without increasing the footprint of what WordPress can do. That makes sense, right?!?! These canonical plugins would offer some pretty essential features, they would be tested thoroughly with WordPress Core versions, would receive frequent updates and therefore would have kudos; they're more or less guaranteed to work out of the box. Eric and I get into this all as well...

On the podcast today we have Nick Diego. Nick is a Developer Advocate at WP Engine. He can be found creating educational content, building plugins and themes, and contributing to WordPress Core. He's on the podcast to talk about his passion and optimism for the future of WordPress using blocks. At the recent WordCamp US, Nick gave a presentation entitled, ‘Let's Build a Custom Block in 15 Minutes'. It was his attempt to show a group of WordPress enthusiasts that the barrier to creating blocks is slowly being eroded, due to the creation of new tools. These tools are creating opportunities for people who might otherwise have stayed away from block development. It's clear that Nick is all in on blocks, and during the podcast he makes the case for why you should be too. They offer so many opportunities for what can be displayed on a page, and their capabilities are only getting better. It's a fascinating chat, especially for those who are, as yet, undecided about whether they want to embrace WordPress blocks.

He's on the podcast to talk about his passion and optimism for the future of WordPress using blocks. At the recent WordCamp US, Nick gave a presentation entitled, ‘Let's Build a Custom Block in 15 Minutes'. It was his attempt to show a group of WordPress enthusiasts that the barrier to creating blocks is slowly being eroded, due to the creation of new tools. These tools are creating opportunities for people who might otherwise have stayed away from block development. It's clear that Nick is all in on blocks, and during the podcast he makes the case for why you should be too. They offer so many opportunities for what can be displayed on a page, and their capabilities are only getting better. It's a fascinating chat, especially for those who are, as yet, undecided about whether they want to embrace WordPress blocks.

On the podcast today we have Paul Bearne. Paul is a WordPress enthusiast who loves to come up with ways to make WordPress do things it doesn't normally do. Having engaged with WordPress almost from the start, he specialises in the creation of highly performant, scalable, accessible and SEO friendly code. He has contributed consistently to WordPress Core since version 3.9 as well as setting up a local meetup and speaking at WordCamps. He is currently being sponsored by XWP to work on Core as part of their Core initiatives. In the podcast today Paul talks about the many ways in which it's possible to work within the WordPress ecosystem. He's tried many of them out over the years. Many of the jobs in and around the WordPress space require only a few things, access to power and internet and a computer. The geographical constraints for work are often non-existent. If you have the skills, can get online and put in the hours, then you might be good to go. The pandemic brought this distributed working model to the masses, as more and more organisations realised the benefits that working in this way affords. Paul talks through some of the different ways that you can work and draws out the benefits and drawbacks that they have. How can you find the work and what can you do to make sure that it's as stable as it can be? If you're already a remote worker, much of this conversation will resonate with you, but if you're not, but are curious about your options, this podcast will be of interest. Typically, when we record the podcast, there's not a lot of background noise, but that's not always the case with these WordCamp Europe interviews. We were competing against crowds and the air-conditioning. In this episode both Paul and I wore face masks which you can also detect. Whilst the podcasts are more than listenable, I hope that you understand that the vagaries of the real world were at play.

Adam Silverstein talks about WordPress core performance and how it ties into the performance of larger plugins like WooCommerce.

Birgit Pauli-Haack, a Gutenberg advocate, shares her insights into where blocks are headed with WordPress and WooCommerce.

So you've tried Gutenberg, and you might like to or you might not! But one thing that you cannot really argue about is that it's got some room for improvement. During the last few release cycles there's been more and more talk about block patterns and how they're going to make WordPress website building more straightforward. Block patterns are a collection of blocks that have been built and saved away for future use. So think about a typical use case, you have a hero section of your website that you might use over and over again. You build it one time, adding in a variety of blocks, and once you're happy, you save it and then later you can add it into any other part of your website with the click of a button. But here's the problem. The block editor is still a little but, how shall we say it... fun to use. It's got some quirks and you might not find it as easy as you'd wish to get pixel perfect patterns. Step in Extendify. They have a suite of pre-made block patterns which you can use. It's really all about making life simple. They're all built on top of WordPress Core blocks so there's no lock in and you can use them to learn how to build your own block patterns.

On the podcast today we have Oliver Sild. Oliver has been working in the WordPress space for many years, and specifically with WordPress security, as one of the founders of Patchstack, formerly called WebARX. Patchstack is a product which is designed to help you identify plugin vulnerabilities in your WordPress sites. Over the past couple of years Patchstack has released an annual report about the state of WordPress security. The report for 2021 has just been released, and the podcast today is concerned with what they found out. We talk about why they produce this report, and who the intended audience is. What are the main takeaways in terms of the overall security of WordPress Core, plugins and themes. We then get into more specific details of what types of vulnerabilities and attacks seem to be prevalent in the WordPress space. Are there any trends which are useful to think about, and how WordPress security is managed by the community as a whole; are budgets and time typically allocated for prevention and restoration of websites? Towards the end we talk about how some people have pushed back on the usefulness of the report. They've questioned the motivations of security companies to write such reports and the use of the language which they contain. Do they paint more of a negative picture in order to drive sales of their commercial solutions? Useful links.

A FBI informant and a messaging app led to huge global crime sting, and Windows container malware targets Kubernetes clusters used by numerous data centers.

About this episode. On the podcast today we have Benjamin Intal. He's the founder of Stackable, which is a suite of custom blocks. Benjamin decided early on that his company was going to take the possibilities that Gutenberg offered seriously. They had previously developed a page builder plugin, but felt that the opportunity presented by blocks was something that they could not overlook. During the conversation, we talk about why Benjamin decided to devote so much time and energy towards creating blocks, at a time when there was almost no certainty about the status of blocks, and the block editor. Indeed, there was no clarity on whether blocks would become a core feature in WordPress. As we now know, blocks are an increasingly important topic in WordPress, and so Benjamin's decision, with a little hindsight, appears to have been a wise one. We talk about some of the difficulties that have presented themselves over the last three years, and how they overcame them. These ranged from having to develop in the absence of documentation, to creating bespoke solutions to problems which were later handled by WordPress Core. We also discuss how they went about iterating their product in a technology space which was new. What methods the team used to ensure that they were building features which their users really needed. We also get into whether the block system is now fully mature and ready to support a growing ecosystem of developers. Is it a good idea to create 'smaller' blocks with a limited use case, or a large suite of blocks which work in harmony with one another? Are we entering a future in which the 'there's a block for that' mentality might lead to sites with 'block bloat'; sites with multiple blocks, with overlapping features. It's an interesting chat and gives an insight into a transitional moment in the history of WordPress. A moment in which blocks are taking on much of the heavy lifting in a WordPress website. A moment in which reputations are being made. Useful links. Stackable Gutenberg Times Make WordPress

My strategy for securing WordPress websites. The internet is filled with unscrupulous people. Are you doing everything you can to ensure your clients’ portion of it is safe by securing their WordPress websites? I recently published a podcast episode and article on earning extra income by offering website maintenance plans. Part of that strategy is making sure the websites you manage are secure. I received many questions afterwards asking how I secure my clients’ WordPress websites. There are many ways and many tools available for securing a WordPress website. Here is the method that works for me. WordPress Security. Those two words, “WordPress Security” may sound intimidating to the uninitiated. Let me assure you they’re not. If I can learn how to do this, so can you. I’m not a programmer. I’m not even a developer. I’m just a WordPress user who figured out a security strategy that works for me. What is WordPress Security? WordPress security involves putting measures in place to decrease the chance of someone compromising a website. If you sell WordPress Security as part of your website maintenance plan, be sure to tell your clients there are no guarantees. If a skilled hacker is determined to gain access to a website, they will, and there’s not much you can do to prevent it. The purpose of Website security is to make it as difficult as possible for them, so they leave your site alone and go in search of an easier target. Most hacking attempts are easily preventable with a few simple measures. Here’s what I do. Securing Account Login. By default, every WordPress installation provides easy access for administrators to gain entry to a site through the URL domainname.com/wp-login.php. This default makes the WordPress login page the most attacked part of any website. So how do you secure the account login? Hide the backend I use iThemes Security Pro to hide the backend of every website and replace the login page with something else. If anyone tries entering the site via the /wp-login.php page, they’ll be taken to a 404 page not found page instead. This is more of security by obscurity, and is not a very strong strategy, but if it helps prevent automated bots and such, then why not do it? iThemes Security Pro > Security > Settings > Advanced > Hide Backend Force the use of a strong password. The stronger the password, the harder it is to crack. Forcing a strong password makes it more difficult to gain access to a site. iThemes Security Pro allows me to force the use of strong passwords. New site users must enter a strong password to create their account, and existing site users are forced to update their weak password when they next log in. iThemes Security Pro > Security > Settings > Password Requirements Prevent the use of compromised passwords. One of the main vulnerabilities of passwords is their reuse. Many people think up a good password, but then they use it everywhere. All it takes is for one database breach containing their user name and password, and a hacker can gain access to wherever the two are used in combination. iThemes Security Pro connects to the haveibeenpwned API and refuses any compromised passwords. As part of this prevention method, I recommend all my clients use a Password Manager such as 1Password to create strong, unique passwords for every site they visit. iThemes Security Pro > Security > Settings > Password Requirements Limit Login Attempts. Even a strong password may be guessed if given enough time. So as an extra measure, I turn on Brute Force Protection in iThemes Security Pro to prevent the number of failed login attempts. I have it set so that three failed login attempts will lock a user out of the site for 15 minutes. After their third lockout, it bans the IP address from even viewing the website. iThemes Security Pro > Security > Settings > Local Brute Force Protection Two-Factor Authentication. Two-Factor Authentication, sometimes called 2FA, adds an extra step to the login process. The way it works is after entering a username and password; users must enter a temporary six-digit code to gain access to the site. This code can be obtained from a predetermined list, one that’s emailed to the user, or, my preferred method, using an App on a smartphone such as Google Authenticator. Google Authenticator generates a new unique code every 30 seconds. When logging into a website with Two-Factor Authentication, you must enter the code from the app and press the login button before the code expires. The only way to gain access to a website protected by 2FA is to have the user name and password, plus have access to the smartphone tied to the account. iThemes Security Pro > Security > Settings > Two-Factor Authentication (This is a PRO feature) Passwordless Login I want to mention Passwordless Login as a security option, but note that I don’t use this method myself. I explain why, later. Passwordless login is a way to gain access to a website without entering a password or a 2FA code. To use Passwordless Login, you enter your email address on the login page then check your email for a “magic link” that grants you access to the website. No password or Two-Factor Authentication code required. Passwordless login is secure because it requires access to the email account associated with the site. Although Passwordless Login is very secure and works great for clients, I don’t use this method. I sometimes need to access to a client’s website through their account instead of my admin account. I wouldn’t be able to access a site with Passwordless Login since I don’t have access to my client’s email account. iThemes Security Pro > Security > Settings > Passwordless Login (This is a PRO feature) WordPress Site Monitoring Now that the account login is secure, the next thing I turn to is site monitoring. I want to know when something happens to one of my client’s website. Security Logs WordPress security logs are an excellent resource for seeing what is happening with a site. If a website gets hacked, the security logs will have the best information to help you recover. To be honest, I don’t understand most of what the security logs contain. But I know where they are, and how to download and share them if I need to get an expert involved in fixing a compromised site. iThemes Security Pro > Security > Logs Monitor File changes iThemes Security Pro allows me to monitor when files on a website change. This is a great way to know when someone had gained access to a site. Be warned; this feature will also notify you of every change and update you make to the site. iThemes Security Pro > Security > Settings > File Change Detection Scanning for Malware iThemes Security Pro regularity scans and notifies me if it detects malware on a website. This has saved me in the past when a client’s site became compromised. I was able to fix the issue before it escalated. iThemes Security Pro > Security > Settings > Site Scan Scheduling (This is a PRO feature) Themes and Plugin Management Delete unrequired and inactive themes and plugins. It’s much easier to hack into a website if it has outdated themes and plugins installed. The first step in theme and plugin management is to deactivate and delete any unrequited or unused plugins. You can always reinstall a plugin should it be needed. Also, make sure you acquire your plugins from reputable sources. I’ve seen some questionable WordPress Plugin bundles recently offering thousands of dollars worth of premium plugins for next to nothing. These plugins may work, but they may also be compromised. It’s not worth risking your business or reputation over. Keep active plugins and themes updated. As far as security is concerned, when it comes to the WordPress Core, Themes and Plugins, the best rule of thumb is to keep everything updated. Many updates are to patch security vulnerabilities. iThemes Security Pro has a nice feature called Version Management that allows a site to automatically update itself as new versions of the WordPress core, themes and plugins are released. Although handy, I leave almost all of this feature off. I prefer updating plugins myself. Should something on the site break during an update, I want to know right away. The only option I turn on is the “Auto Update if Fixes Vulnerability” option. This allows updates only if it fixes a security issue. iThemes Security Pro > Security > Settings > Version Management (This is a PRO feature) Manually updating the WordPress Core, Themes and Plugins. For updating my client website, I use iThemes Sync, a WordPress manager. iThemes Sync allows me to monitor and update all my clients’ websites from one dashboard. iThemes Sync sends me daily emails telling me what plugins and themes have updates available. I can log into iThems Sync and perform all the updates from the one dashboard without having to log into each website individually, saving me time. The basic version of iThemes Sync is free for up to 10 websites. Domain security. Whenever registering a domain, I highly suggest you include domain privacy. Some hosts include domain privacy while others charge an extra fee. Domain Privacy hides the domain owner’s contact information from the public. Without domain privacy, a domain owner’s email address, mailing address and phone number are available for anyone to see. Since it’s common to use the same email address to register a domain and access the associated website, without domain privacy, you’re handing hackers half of the login information they need. That’s my WordPress Security plan. That’s it. That’s what I do to secure my clients’ WordPress websites. This is not meant to be an add for iThemes. There are many tools you can use to do the same things I do. Some of them possibly better and maybe less expensive than what I use. But I’ve been using the iThemes programs for several years, and I know, and I trust them. And so far, knock on wood, they’ve worked for me. What's your strategy for securing WordPress websites? Let me know by leaving a comment for this episode.

Attention WordPress Developers & Marketers: Data Driven Daily Tip 189 - Our WordPress Development Team (special thanks to "Chris Tooma"), has been on top of this one for a while now, and today I woke up to write my daily blog and saw this message in my WordPress Dashboard after a recent upgrade to WordPress Core version 4.9.8. AKA - Gutenberg is HERE! WordPress Content Managers and Content Marketers Don't Need to install it yet, but CAN install it if they're on WP v4.9.8 like all of our clients are. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/paulhickey/support

Build a website in just 5 days (even if you're not techie) at www.free5daywebsitechallenge.com Already have a website? Take the Free "Jumpstart Your Website Traffic" marketing mini-course at www.jumpstartyourwebsitetraffic.com Leave a Review! Owning a website is kinda like dying your hair… once you bleach it blonde (okay, orange) with a bottle of peroxide and a hair dryer in seventh grade, you have to keep up with it! That means begging your mom to buy Sun-In for you when your roots start to grow out. And many years later when you finally make enough money to go to a real hairstylist? Yep, non-negotiable quarterly trips to get highlights. No, those aren’t gray hairs, those are highlights!!! Your website requires the same kind of tender loving care! There are a few non-negotiable things you need to do to your website to keep it in tip-top shape and prevent malware infections and other nastiness from ruining your hard work or making your life difficult. 1) MONITORING YOUR SECURITY PLUGIN I recommend WordFence in the free 5-day website challenge and I show you exactly how to set it up and start protecting your site. The extra maintenance step here that you want to do at least once a week is to check your scan results and see if there are any items that need fixing. WordFence will alert you to plugin updates, old plugins, files that are different from the “WordPress Core” which could indicate a hack. Going through those scan results every week or so and cleaning up anything WordFence finds is a good practice. 2) BACKUPS I recommend BackWPUp in the Free 5 Day Website Challenge, and the extra step here is to check every week or so to make sure backups are actually happening, and that they’re being saved and you know how to access them. If you get hacked on a Tuesday, you can restore a backup from Monday, clean up any security issues that caused you to get hacked, and then you’re good to go! But if you have an issue and find out after the fact that your backups never ran, well, all I can do is offer you a pint of your favorite ice cream and a giant spoon… 3) PLUGIN UPDATES If plugins need to be updated, you’ll see an orange dot with a number in it next to the Plugins menu item on your dashboard. It’s as easy as clicking on the plugins menu, finding the plugin that’s highlighted orange and clicking the Update link. Do this for all plugins as often as possible. It’s when you don’t log into your site for a long time that this becomes easy to forget! 4) WORDPRESS UPDATES Every quarter or so, WordPress pushes out the latest version of the platform. Sometimes it’s a small update that has bug fixes or security patches, other times it’s a bigger update that changes the interface and how things work (and then I have to update the Free 5 Day Website Challenge, dang-it!!). It’s super important that whenever you see a WordPress update that you make a backup of your site and then click a few buttons to do the WordPress update. 5) THEME UPDATES These actually aren’t as easy to spot as plugin or WordPress updates – there’s no big message or orange dot with a number, but they are important nonetheless. You can find out if there’s a theme update by going to Appearance > Themes – there you’ll see the theme highlighted if there’s an update – simply click Update, and you’re good to go! BFF TIP: In the WordPress dashboard in the top-right corner, there’s an “Updates” menu item – you can click on that to see available WordPress, theme and plugin updates. When I was in college, I totally used to try to highlight my own hair… I’d go to the local beauty supply store and get the developer, the color, and the foils and the brush, and then I’d attempt to do highlights just like I saw my stylist do… and it was a DISASTER. I’d end up with tiger stripes and have to go in and tell them that I let a “friend” do my hair and ask them to fix it… Could I keep trying to perfect it and get better at it? Sure! But I don’t want to have to put 50 foils in my head and try not to get bleach everywhere – I can’t hold my arms over my head for that long! So if you’re not logging into your website every few days to check on your WordFence scans, or to make sure your backups didn’t fail, and to update your plugins, then you’re vulnerable to getting hacked. If keeping up on maintenance is something that you want to do yourself, it’s totally something you can do just by following what I outline above (and it’s easier than trying to learn how to do highlights)! But if you don’t want to mess with it, then subscribe to my WordPress Protection Package and you can just sit back, relax, and I’ll take care of all the things for you! And if some nasty little hacker still finds their way in, like the hairstylist that fixed my tiger stripes, I’ll totally take care of it for you. So tell me in the comments below – what are some of your hairstyle horror stories??

In this episode, I'm chatting with Gary Jones. I'm honored to have Gary on the show. He is your go-to person when you want things done right. He is a huge asset to the Genesis community and shares his knowledge in so many ways. If you spend any time on Github - you are sure to see his name as a contributor on so many open source projects. Let's get started. Meet Gary Jones Gary Jones is a UK-based WordPress Engineer, code consultant and father of extremely premature twins. Driven by a passion for excellence, he creates elegant WordPress plugins and theme solutions for clients, and provides services, including code audits, for other web designers and developers. He's worked on projects for SiteGround, Yoast, StudioPress, Web Savvy Marketing, Daniels Trading, Rolls-Royce and many smaller design and development agencies and individuals.

It's Jackie D'Elia with another episode of Rethink.fm for you and today I have Gary Jones who is a UK resident and a Genesis expert in our community. Hey, Gary. Gary Hi. How are you doing, Jackie? Jackie Very good. Thanks for joining me on the first episode for season 2, which is kind of awesome to have you here. Gary Thank you very much. Jackie For anyone who doesn't know who you are in the Genesis community, would you tell us a little bit about yourself? Gary Absolutely. My name's Gary Jones. I'm based in Basingstoke in the UK. I run a small virtual agency creating technical WordPress solutions for clients, including integrations with their business critical systems. I'm a contributor to the Genesis Framework and WordPress core and many plugins and open source projects. I'm cohost of the UK Genesis podcast, although we haven't done many recordings recently, general translation editor for the British English locale in WordPress and organizer of WorkCamp London, father of five-year-old twins, and my background is teaching in schools and prisons. Jackie Wow. That was awesome. You just went right through the whole thing. That is great. Gary It helps being prepared ahead of time and actually writing my introduction down this time. Jackie Yeah. If you're working in Genesis and you're in GitHub at all, it's hard not to see your name all around as a contributor for, like you said, numerous plugins, many open source projects. I see your name as a contributor on a lot of things. Gary Yeah. A lot of the things that I contribute to are effectually under other people's names. It's under their repo or their GitHub name. One of the things I like doing is helping others. Irrespective of the context that might be helping clients or, in this case, helping other developers. If I can contribute something to their plugin then I'll go ahead and fork it and make the change and send it back to them. If it makes their plugin better and people recognize that there's a slightly better plugin or slightly better package that has got their name on it, that's fine by me. I'm actually fine with that. Jackie I have to say, whenever I see a plugin if I need something in the GitHub repo and I see your name associated with it, I usually think it's okay to use because I kind of ... Gary Probably, yes.

The REST API became part of WordPress Core in version 4.7. For developers like me, this is one of the most exciting changes to WordPress in years. But now that it’s in core, what do you use it for? How does it fit into what you’re already doing? And what does it allow you to […]

This is Jackie D'Elia with Rethink.fm, the forward thinking podcast about web design and front end development in WordPress. Each episode I'll be talking with fellow designers and developers who are exploring new ways to approach and solve the challenges we face as our industry evolves. I've got questions so let's get started. Welcome to Episode 7 of Rethink.fm with Rian Rietveld. We’ll be talking about Web Accessibility today, what you need to know and why it is important. Before we get started I just like to remind you, if you’re enjoying these episodes of Rethink.fm please head over to iTunes and leave a review. It really does help and I thank you very much for doing that. Let’s get started. Jackie: Hi Rian. Rian: Hi. Jackie: Thank you very much for joining me and I'm so happy that you're going to be talking about accessibility with us and things that you've been up to. For those who don't know you, would you tell us a little bit about yourself? Rian: At the moment I'm a WordPress engineer and I work for Human Made. 25% of my time goes to WordPress Core. I improve with a team, the accessibility of WordPress Core for people with a disability or use the internet in another way most people do. I'm also part of Genesis Community, so I know you off that. I live in the Netherlands with my son and my husband. I love to work in my garden. Anything else you need to know? Jackie: Oh, we're both gardeners. We both love gardening. Yes. I do too. Rian: Well, thank you for having me. Jackie: Thank you. First question for you is how did you get started with WordPress? Then how did that roll into your accessibility focus? Rian: I've been developing websites for 16, 17 years now. I started with just plain HTML pages and then I tried out some CMS's like PhpNuke, this was a big disaster. Then I wrote my own little CMS but slowly that was too small, I needed the proper CMS with all the features. I compared some CMS's like Joomla and Drupal and WordPress and I can't remember why I chose WordPress, actually. I think it was the separation between the themes, actually the work you do and WordPress itself so it was easily updatable and I loved the community. There was a large community, you could ask anything on the forum and there were people ...
