Faces of WordPress is a community-centered project that celebrates the people behind WordPress and the projects they create that collectively drive WordPress forward in a way that directly benefits the community or the core software. Share your WordPress story here.  During last year’s State of the Word speech, Matt Mullenweg emphasized three main focus points for WordPress in 2017, the editor, customizer, and the REST API. The WordPress REST API and the customizer have been extensively discussed over the last year, but the same can’t be said for the WordPress editor. WordPress began as a blogging platform, and while it’s grown to power […]

For any web developer, the word CSS is not something new. Despite the fact that CSS is an awesome programming/styling language, it comes with certain limitations which cannot be ignored.

UpdraftPlus (the backup plugin with 1 million installs) has just announced the launch of Keyy, the 2-factor authentication plugin that enables users to log into websites just by pointing their smartphone at the computer screen, eliminating the need for typed-in passwords. If the idea sounds familiar, that’s because it probably is: as its developers openly admit, Keyy is inspired by and based on another WordPress plugin called Clef. Clef’s distinctive and innovative approach to integrated 2 factor-authentication heralded unprecedented login speed and usability. Created by a small San Francisco-based start-up, Clef worked by sending an encrypted key from users’ smartphone […]

For as long as I’ve been a WordPress developer, I’ve had a lot of people ask “where should I add my WordPress hooks?” Yes, this is a sign I need more friends who are not WordPress developers, but that’s not the point of this article.
