The uncertainty of the landscape started to fade, and the perseverance of the community was on full display.  Though we can never fully predict what will happen next, one thing is for certain, the WordPress community will continue to be a pillar of strength through all of life’s ups and downs.  A lot happened […]

On a rainy, cloudy day in New York City, WordPress Co-Founder Matt Mullenweg presented his annual State of the Word keynote speech. In front of a small but engaged in-person audience, and a vast streaming audience, Mullenweg went over the WordPress wins for 2022 and what we can look forward to in 2023.  Some themes were familiar such as the power of the community, and the importance of keeping open source open. But others like collaborative editing within the dashboard and new plugin taxonomies spoke to an exciting and vibrant future of the project that couldn’t have been imagined when […]

The third and final WordPress Core update of 2022 landed today. 6.1 is named for Mikhail “Misha” Alperin, a Soviet-Norwegian jazz pianist. Alperin is known for forming one of the first jazz trios in the Moldavian SSR and founded the Moscow Art Trio. We are excited to welcome Misha into the WordPress family. Though the phrase Full Site Editing has been dropped from the WordPress vernacular, 6.1 still heavily focuses on design. Specifically, allowing site users to make design changes without using code.
