The official stable release of PHP 7 shipped right before the release of WordPress 4.4. Kinsta, a hosting company, ran a test with PHP 5.6, PHP 7, and HHVM and found that HHVM handles the most transactions per second. Though the results leaned in HHVM’s favor, speed isn’t the only factor to consider when choosing a scripting language. After a four-day test, their findings pointed to HHVM as the faster scripting language. The test was run on a bare metal server, and while some details of the test sites were shared, the entry didn’t account for any other plugins or themes running […]

Yesterday, WP API project lead Ryan McCue announced three special updates for WP REST API users, which includes new tools and a massive OAuth update. Discovery Library For PHP Something that is so exciting about the REST API is discoverable, which means that you can rename the API base or give API access to someone else. These features will make things smoother, but they aren’t necessarily easy to set up. At least, that was before the PHP Discovery Library was included. “To simplify this, we now have a discovery library for PHP 5.3+. To use it, add wp-api/discovery to your Composer requirements manually or run […]

Have you ever wanted to know what the WordPress dashboard looked like in 2006? Now you can go back and review WordPress’s evolution over the years… without a flux capacitor.

WordPress as we know it today didn’t really start to take shape until 2008. […]

The first ever WordCamp US is this weekend and we couldn’t be more excited. After a bidding process, Philly was selected as the site for the inaugural camp, so you can stop by the Liberty Bell between talks or maybe grab yourself a cheesesteak — with or without onions. Wappu already has his hands on one. Friday and Saturday will be chock-full of talks, while Sunday stands open for Contributor Day. Community Summit The Community Summit is a smaller, work-focused two-day session. The organizers have deemed the summit an “unconference.” This means instead of scheduled speakers and talks, the format […]

Maybe the WordPress origin story isn’t as legendary or contentious as Mark Zuckerberg’s. And maybe won’t be made into a movie written by Aaron Sorkin, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a fascinating tale filled with community and conflict. In her book, The History of WordPress, Siobhan McKeown shows the difficulties and triumphs of creating and maintaining an open-source software. It covers everything from Michel Valdrighi’s disappearance to the creation of Automattic. If you’re new to the WordPress community, it is a great way to become familiar with the platform’s roots, and for those who have been here a long time […]
