X-comment from +make.wordpress.org/security: Comment on The Core Security Initiative: two months in

WordPress doesn’t have a good way to tell people what’s happening on their site. Plugins fall back on admin notices that push the page down, so the things that matter, like a failed payment, a security update or a teammate’s question, get lost among reminders and promotions. Feature Notifications is building a shared fix (status […]

Tests: Align _test_filter_build_unique_id with _wp_filter_build_unique_id(). Includes: Returning null if the function ID for usage as array key could not be determined. Updating comments for accuracy. Follow-up to r62408, r63334, r65314. See #65819.

Follow-up to #64498, as suggested by @jorbin in ​https://make.wordpress.org/core/2026/11/05/your-content-is-going-to-get-more-random/#comment-49618 wp_random_content_redirect() sends nocache_headers() and X-Robots-Tag: noindex, follow only after the selected post's permalink passed wp_validate_redirect(). When the permalink is on a host that is not in allowed_redirect_hosts, or when it is empty, the function returns before either header is sent. The request then renders the one-post archive that the random query selected as a normal 200 response. That response varies on every request but carries no caching headers, so a page cache or CDN can store /random/ with whichever post was picked first and serve it to every later visitor. It can also be indexed. Steps to reproduce (7.2-beta4-65325, pretty permalinks, one published post): Add a filter that moves post permalinks to another host: add_filter( 'post_link', function () { return 'https://elsewhere.example/post/'; } ); Request /random/. Expected: Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0, no-store, private and X-Robots-Tag: noindex, follow, as on a normal random redirect. Actual: HTTP/1.1 200 OK with neither header. Without the filter the same request returns 302 Found with both headers. This is not inherited from the Random Redirect plugin. The plugin sends neither header, but it always redirects and never renders a page, so the gap does not exist there. It came with the fallback introduced in [64402]: since then, a /random/ request that is not redirected renders the randomly selected post as an archive, and the header block sits after the permalink check. Patch: sends the headers before the permalink check, so every random content response that reached the selected post gets them, whether it redirects or not. The redirect itself is unchanged. Testing: the new test file tests/phpunit/tests/query/randomContentRedirectHeaders.php (group xdebug, separate processes, same pattern as tests/oembed/headers.php) fails for the off-site and empty permalink cases without the change and passes with it. tests/phpunit/tests/query/randomContentRedirect.php passes unchanged, single site (187 tests) and multisite (190 tests).

Tests: Cover the self-demotion guard and empty user searches. Log in as a second administrator and try to change their own role to Subscriber with the bulk Change role control on the Users screen. Check for the error notice and that the role is unchanged. Search users for a missing name and check for the empty result, with another user present so the test fails if search is ignored. Developed in: ​https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/15779 Props shailu25. See #52895.

Tests: Run the streams transport tests without live external HTTP. The HTTP transport tests chose a transport with the use_{$transport}_transport filters, which only WP_Http_Curl::test() and WP_Http_Streams::test() read. WP_Http::request() passes requests to Requests, which picked cURL, so Tests_HTTP_streams was running on cURL. Set the Requests transport for each test class instead, and move the streams tests out of the external-http group. Follow-up to [65320]. Developed in: ​https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/15787 Props shailu25. See #63914.

fixed: In 65332: Site Health: Use a passing label for the insecure registration test. The insecure registration check used its warning label as the default, so a site with safe registration settings listed "Open Registration with privileged default role" under Passed tests. Give the passing result its own label, set the warning label only on the critical result, and wrap the critical description in a paragraph like other Site Health results. Add the first tests for this check. Follow-up to [61687]. Developed in: ​https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/14669 Props ravipatel, johnbillion. Fixes #66359.

Tests: Cover searching installed themes. Search the Themes screen for the uploaded test theme and check that it is the only result. Search for a missing theme and check for the empty state. The test theme stays installed, so both tests fail if search is ignored. Developed in: ​https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/15782 Props shailu25. See #52895.

Tests: Cover adding export and erase personal data requests. Add a requester by username on the Export Personal Data and Erase Personal Data screens, and check for the success notice and the requester in the list, including after a search. The two screens share one looped spec. Developed in: ​https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/15688 Props shailu25. See #52895.

Tests: Move the wp_mkdir_p() tests to the current folder layout. Move the tests added in [65175] to tests/phpunit/tests/functions/, without a namespace, to match the guidance for new tests during 7.2 on #65208. Rename the race test's stream wrapper class to match. Follow-up to [65175]. See #57081, #65208.

Tests: Cover bulk deleting categories and empty term searches. Bulk delete two categories on the Categories screen and check that both are gone, and that the default category has no checkbox. Search categories and tags for a missing term and check for the empty result, with another term present so the test fails if search is ignored. Developed in: ​https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/15718 Props shailu25. See #52895.

Not many of the present readers might know me very well, and that in part, is the reason that I have made the decision to transfer WLTC to more willing and presently capable hands. I am a stranger on my blog and the time has come for me to make sure that this blog, its contents and its knowledge are archived and preserved and maybe rejuvenated at a later time. I delved into blogging tools back in 2004 when I started my Masters degree in CS. I wanted some code to mess around with in my free time and everyone was talking about blogging. I looked into a variety of tools, built a small Linux server for myself at home, and installed a few of the tools that were freely available at that time. I had a heck of a time getting a hold of MT (Moveable Type, the most well-known name) and […]

The landscape of news has changed so much over the last few years that news about a particular topic or platform is readily available to anyone within an instant. With WordPress, I imagine that could be one of the perks of powering over 16% of the web, but it’s true that news is becoming incredibly accessible. In short, news is everywhere. Speaking of WordPress in general, you can of course acquire official direct news from WordPress News, but you can also take a peak behind the curtain and follow news in the making at Make WordPress.org. Though it’s only specific to the WordPress.com blogging platform, WordPress.com News is also worth watching for WordPress development news, as WordPress.com users often get access to new WordPress features before they’re released, so you’ll be able to try new features rather than just read about them. There’s more news than just direct official news, like I […]

The impending release of WordPress 3.6 has been pushed back one more week to April 29. At this time, WordPress 3.6 is not yet feature complete (meaning that all intended new features have not been entirely finished), so the decision was made to push the first beta release back two weeks to March 27 and the final release back one week to April 29. This will allow the team time to focus on finalizing the in-progress new features so that they (and the brave folks who enjoy running beta software) can simply focus on testing and bug fixing rather than polishing up partial features.

There has been a lot of talk lately about working from home and maintaining a distributed workforce. Web-based software, like WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal, are taking over the publishing industry and allow you to work from anywhere with an internet connection. Though, even though they can be managed  from home, working from home and maintaining a distributed workforce is not yet broadly acknowledged in society as a successful and efficient alternative to working in an office. Despite working with software that doesn’t need to be tied to one specific workstation, you could still find yourself tied to a desk in cubicle. I work full-time for Automattic and have the pleasure of both working from home and setting my own hours. After all, I only need a browser, an email client, and IRC client, and Skype to do my job.

In this hands-on workshop, Arun Shenoy and Tremi Dkhar show how the Create Block Theme plugin speeds up building Full Site Editing (FSE) block themes, making theme creation approachable even with minimal coding skills. Topics covered: getting started with the plugin, developing an FSE theme from the Site Editor, and exporting your editor changes to theme files.

A beginner-friendly workshop by Bigul Malayi and Swetha B Chandran introducing WordPress hooks. It explains what actions and filters are, why WordPress relies on them, and how to use them in your own code, with practical examples and a tour of commonly used hooks.

What Six Years of WordPress Support Taught Me About Building Better Plugins Great plugins aren’t built by adding more features, they’re built by understanding the people who use them. Drawing from six years of hands-on WordPress support, this session explores the recurring patterns behind user frustrations, the importance of customer feedback, and how support insights can shape better plugin architecture, UX, documentation, and error handling. Attendees will leave with practical ideas they can immediately apply to build more intuitive, reliable, and user-focused WordPress products. Key takeaways Turn recurring support issues into better product decisions. Improve plugin UX using real user feedback. Reduce support requests with better onboarding and error handling. Build WordPress plugins with a customer-first mindset.

Wooing WhatsApp with WordPress: A SaaS Story What if WordPress could power more than just websites and stores? In this talk, I’ll share the journey of building WA.cr, a SaaS platform that connects WooCommerce and WhatsApp to help businesses sell directly through chat. Picture carts, payments, customer conversations, and even location collection – all happening inside WhatsApp, while WordPress quietly handles everything behind the scenes. Along the way, I combined familiar tools like WordPress and WooCommerce with low-code workflow automation, picked up JavaScript the hard way, and discovered how far WordPress can be stretched. This is a builder’s story: one that turns a handful of open tools into a complete product. If you’ve ever wondered how far WordPress can go or just love seeing it used creatively, this talk is for you. Key takeaways WooCommerce usable as WhatsApp Catalogue and WA order back in Woo

Many times, “Go headless” becomes the default advice for almost any WordPress project, while other times it gets dismissed outright as unnecessary complexity. Neither instinct is reliable on its own. This session gives you an honest, practical framework for making the call either way, based on what your specific project actually needs. We’ll break down what actually changes when you strip WordPress down to a content API and hand the frontend to a separate framework, and look at real scenarios on both sides: where headless genuinely solves a problem traditional WordPress can’t, like omnichannel content, high-performance frontends, or teams already working in React or Vue, and where traditional WordPress remains the stronger, simpler choice. Along the way, we’ll cover the layer most headless builds get wrong: authentication, and how the choice between Application Passwords, JWT, and OAuth changes what your project can and can’t do. This isn’t a talk about which architecture is “better.” It’s about learning to diagnose a project correctly before you commit to one, because that decision ripples into everything downstream: what a client can edit themselves, what an SEO strategy needs to account for, what a plugin ecosystem can or can’t do for you, and what a build actually costs to maintain long after launch. Key takeaways A clear, two-sided framework for deciding when headless WordPress is worth the trade-off, and when traditional WordPress is still the better call. A real look at what you gain and what you give up when you decouple WordPress: performance and flexibility on one side, plugin ecosystem dependencies and editorial simplicity on the other. A practical comparison of authentication methods (Application Passwords, JWT, OAuth, cookie-based auth) and when to use each. The right questions to ask on any project, as a developer, an agency, or a client, before committing to either architecture.

Search is changing. More people are getting answers directly from AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity instead of clicking through traditional search results. In this session, we’ll explore how WordPress site owners and developers can adapt by creating AI-friendly content, improving structured data, organizing documentation, strengthening internal linking, and building topical authority. You’ll leave with practical strategies and a simple checklist to help your WordPress site stay visible in the age of AI-powered search. Key takeaways Understand how AI search is changing the way people discover content. Learn practical ways to make WordPress content easier for AI to understand and cite. Leave with a simple checklist to make your website more AI-friendly.

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future trend; it’s reshaping content creation, SEO strategy, and agency operations right now. But with so much noise around AI, how do you separate what actually works from what doesn’t? Moderated by Kripesh Adwani and featuring panelists Puja More, Amit Singh, and Aashish Pahwa, this panel brings together experienced WordPress professionals and digital marketers to explore AI’s real-world impact on our industry. From writing content at scale and adapting to AI-powered search to managing client relationships and growing a sustainable agency. The conversation will be grounded, practical, and honest. Whether you’re a freelancer figuring out your next move, an agency owner rethinking your workflow, or a marketer trying to stay ahead, this session will give you perspectives and insights you can act on. Key themes: How AI is changing content strategy and what it means for quality SEO in the age of AI search: what still works and what doesn’t Agency growth and positioning in an AI-driven market Practical AI tools and workflows for WordPress professionals

One WordPress, Thousands of Websites: Engineering Multisite at Scale A plugin, database query, scheduled task, or configuration change may work perfectly on a single WordPress website. But what happens when the same operation runs across hundreds or thousands of sites within one network? This talk explores the engineering and operational challenges of managing large-scale WordPress Multisite environments. Drawing from anonymised real-world production experiences, the session will demonstrate how seemingly minor technical decisions can create network-wide performance issues, unexpected server load, database bottlenecks, or widespread outages. The session will look at how WordPress behaviour changes when operations are multiplied across a large network. It will cover common problems such as plugins performing expensive network-wide queries, cron events running independently across thousands of sites, background processes overwhelming infrastructure, and deployments introducing a much larger blast radius than expected. The talk will also walk attendees through the lifecycle of a typical Multisite incident—from identifying unusual resource usage and investigating logs to isolating the affected functionality, containing the issue, restoring normal service, and implementing long-term safeguards. Key areas covered will include: Database operations and queries across large Multisite networks Cron jobs, scheduled events, and background processing at scale Plugin deployment risks and network-wide activation Monitoring, logging, and identifying the source of performance issues Staged releases, testing strategies, and rollback planning Reducing the blast radius of failures Building WordPress functionality with scale in mind The objective is not simply to explain WordPress Multisite, but to highlight the engineering mindset required to operate it reliably at scale. Attendees will leave with practical insights into how to evaluate code, plugins, scheduled processes, and deployments when a single technical decision can affect thousands of websites. The session will be useful for WordPress developers, hosting engineers, agency teams, system administrators, and anyone responsible for maintaining large or business-critical WordPress platforms. Key takeaways Why code that performs well on a single WordPress site may cause serious issues across a large Multisite network. How database queries, cron jobs, background processes, and plugin actions behave differently at scale. How to identify and investigate network-wide performance problems using logs, monitoring, and resource usage patterns. Why staged deployments, controlled rollouts, and rollback plans are essential for large WordPress platforms. How to reduce the blast radius of failures and prevent one change from affecting thousands of websites. How to evaluate plugins and custom functionality with a Multisite-first engineering mindset. Practical approaches for building more stable, scalable, and maintainable WordPress Multisite systems.

Turn Your WordPress Site into a RAG Knowledge Base AI is changing how users interact with websites, but generic AI models often lack knowledge of your site’s unique content and can produce inaccurate or outdated responses. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solves this problem by combining the power of large language models with your own WordPress content. In this session, you’ll learn how to turn a WordPress website into a reliable AI knowledge base. We’ll walk through the complete RAG pipeline—from extracting content using the WordPress REST API or sitemaps, to cleaning and chunking content, generating embeddings, storing them in a vector database, and retrieving the most relevant information to produce accurate, source-backed responses. We’ll also explore practical implementation choices for PHP and WordPress developers, including vector databases along with best practices for keeping your knowledge base synchronized as your content changes. To bring everything together, the session will include a live demonstration of an AI assistant answering questions using only the content from a WordPress site, complete with links back to the original pages. Whether you build client websites, manage documentation, run an online store, or maintain a content-rich website, you’ll leave with a clear understanding of how to integrate AI into WordPress in a practical, trustworthy, and scalable way. Key takeaways Understand what Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is and why it’s more reliable than using a standalone LLM for website content. Identify the WordPress content sources (posts, pages, custom post types, WooCommerce products, etc.) that can be used to build a knowledge base. Understand the complete RAG workflow—from content extraction and chunking to embeddings, vector databases, retrieval, and AI-powered responses. Gain practical insights through a live demonstration of building an AI assistant powered by a WordPress website. Leave with a clear roadmap to implement RAG in their own WordPress projects.

By the end of this session, you will have built a WordPress site on your own laptop, connected an AI assistant to it, and watched that assistant publish a post, change a setting, and install a plugin, all from instructions typed in plain English. Then you will switch one of those capabilities off, ask again, and watch it refuse. AI is quickly becoming part of how people work. It writes emails, answers questions, and helps make decisions. But what if AI could also run your WordPress site for you? Imagine asking your site in plain English: “Which posts are missing a featured image?” “Update the price of my top 10 products.” “Show me all draft posts from the last month.” And it just… does it. No opening the dashboard, no clicking through menus. Most site owners have no idea this is already possible, and almost nobody has decided what they would allow. In this hands-on session, we’ll start with what a WordPress site actually needs to run, a web server, PHP, and a database, and why that used to be the wall most people never got past. Then a local site in about a minute, and a look at something most site owners have never seen: the complete list of everything their site is willing to let a machine do. Along the way, the two ideas that make this work: The Abilities API, added in WordPress 6.9, which lets plugins publish what they can do in a format machines can read. MCP, the open standard that lets AI tools discover and call those abilities. Then we’ll get our hands dirty. You’ll register your own custom abilities in code, expose them through MCP, connect them to an AI client like Claude, and watch Claude call the abilities you just wrote to perform real operations on your site. We’ll end with the moment that matters most: you switch an ability off, ask again, and watch the AI refuse. Whether you run client sites, manage an online store, maintain a content-heavy blog, or build plugins, you’ll leave having written the code that makes your WordPress site AI-ready, so you can manage its operations without ever hitting the dashboard. Key Takeaways See what your site already exposes. Find the complete list of what your own site permits. Most attendees have never looked. Write your own custom abilities in code. Learn how to register abilities that expose exactly the operations you want AI to perform on your site. Be able to revoke access in under a minute. You’ll do it during the session, so you know where the button is before you need it. Leave with a working setup and a clear roadmap. A local WordPress site connected to an AI client, custom abilities you’ve written yourself, plus a checklist you can apply to a live client site the same week.

WordPress nació con la vocación de democratizar la publicación y defender una web abierta en la que cualquier persona pudiera crear, compartir y ser dueña de su voz. Sin embargo, hoy construimos gran parte de nuestra identidad digital en plataformas cerradas como Instagram o LinkedIn, sujetas a sus formatos, algoritmos y reglas. Por eso debemos seguir defendiendo que las nuevas generaciones no solo habiten internet, sino que comprendan cómo funciona y tengan las herramientas necesarias para participar en él con autonomía. Un currículum o un perfil de LinkedIn permite enumerar capacidades; un sitio propio permite demostrarlas. Al documentar proyectos, explicar sus procesos y publicar para una audiencia real, los estudiantes construyen una identidad profesional más sólida y desarrollan competencias útiles para su empleabilidad. Al mismo tiempo, aprenden quién controla sus contenidos y qué significa participar en internet como ciudadanos digitales, no solo como consumidores. En un contexto en el que la IA puede generar textos, portfolios e incluso sitios completos, comprender estos principios es más importante que nunca. La IA puede acelerar la creación, pero no sustituye el criterio necesario para evaluar resultados, proteger la privacidad, entender el papel de los algoritmos y otros intermediarios, conservar una voz propia y conectar de forma responsable con una audiencia. Durante la charla compartiré ideas para enseñar estas competencias y mencionaré mi experiencia con WordPress.com Education —wp.com/edu— y con WordPress Ready, un piloto en el que estudiantes trabajan en proyectos web reales para ONG.Presentation Slides »

Cada vez utilizamos más la IA en nuestras webs: chatbots, asistentes, generadores de contenido, recomendadores, automatizaciones o plugins que incorporan inteligencia artificial casi sin que nos demos cuenta. Pero, ¿qué ocurre cuando esa IA deja de ser simplemente una herramienta y empieza a generar obligaciones legales? Tras muchos meses diciendo «que viene el lobo», la IA Act ya aplica y es exigible, por lo que en esta charla veremos, desde el punto de vista de quien diseña o desarrolla webs, qué debes tener en cuenta cuando incorporas IA a una web para cumplir la ley: cuándo puede afectarte el Reglamento Europeo de Inteligencia Artificial, qué diferencia hay entre utilizar IA para crear una web e integrarla en la web de un cliente, quién debe asumir cada obligación y cuándo hay que informar al usuario de que está interactuando con inteligencia artificial. Lo veremos con ejemplos concretos y terminaremos con un checklist para saber qué revisar antes de entregar una web que incorpora IA, sin necesidad de convertirte en experto en el AI Act ni llenar la web de avisos innecesarios.Presentation Slides »

WordPress puede ser mucho más que una herramienta para crear páginas web: puede convertirse en un entorno de aprendizaje donde las personas aprenden haciendo proyectos reales. En esta charla compartiré una experiencia práctica desde la Formación Profesional de Comercio y Marketing, mostrando cómo uso WordPress como aula viva para trabajar contenidos, SEO, ecommerce, analítica e inteligencia artificial aplicada. La propuesta se basa en un modelo sencillo: crear, publicar, medir y mejorar. A partir de ese ciclo, el alumnado no solo construye una web, sino que toma decisiones sobre propuesta de valor, estructura de contenidos, posicionamiento, conversión, medición de resultados y mejora continua. También veremos cómo integrar la inteligencia artificial sin convertirla en un atajo vacío: como apoyo para idear, redactar, revisar, analizar y mejorar, pero siempre manteniendo el criterio profesional y educativo. La sesión no será una charla técnica sobre instalación o plugins, sino una experiencia transferible con ideas, ejemplos y aprendizajes que pueden adaptarse a otros contextos educativos, formativos o profesionales.Presentation Slides »

Ya tienes tu web montada y funcionando. Y entonces llega la gran pregunta: ¿por qué no entra nadie? En esta charla vas a ver, sin tecnicismos, las acciones de marketing que puedes poner en marcha desde hoy para que tu web deje de estar sola. Empezamos por lo que casi todo el mundo se salta: para quién es tu web y qué quieres que haga. A partir de ahí: cómo crear contenido que de verdad atrae, cómo captar con una newsletter a quien te visita para no perderlo, cómo usar las redes sociales para llevar gente a tu sitio, y cómo mantener el ritmo midiendo qué funciona para hacer más de eso. Saldrás con una lista concreta de cosas que puedes hacer esta misma semana. Porque hecho es mejor que perfecto.Presentation Slides »

Tu tienda recibe visitas. Tus productos son buenos. La web funciona correctamente. Entonces… ¿por qué no compran? En esta charla analizaremos algunos de los bloqueos invisibles que frenan las ventas en muchas tiendas online y que suelen pasar desapercibidos incluso para quienes gestionan la web a diario. Descubrirás que muchas veces el problema no está en el tráfico, ni en el diseño, ni siquiera en el precio. Y probablemente empieces a mirar tu tienda online con otros ojos.Presentation Slides »

Un sistema de diseño no solo se compone de botones, cajas de texto y elementos que se abren y se cierran. También se establece cómo se sienten los detalles cuando interactuamos con una interfaz. En esta charla revisaremos cómo el sistema de diseño de WordPress evoluciona mediante decisiones de color, forma y movimento que mantienen el cuidado por los detalles y que permiten otras formas de expresión y adaptación. No es necesario que sepas WordPress en profundidad para que veamos juntos la importancia del diseño en decisiones pequeñas que se escalan a todo el sistema.Presentation Slides »

En esta charla te acompaño en tus primeros pasos dentro de WordPress y responderé algunas preguntas que seguramente te estés haciendo si estás empezando: -Por qué WordPress. ¿Necesito un dominio y un alojamiento para empezar? Qué son los plugins y los temas y cuáles son interesantes para empezar. Cómo usar el editor de bloques para maquetar. ¿Qué tipo de webs puedo montar con WordPress? Daremos un recorrido por lo básico, te daré algunos consejos en base a mi experiencia y veremos por qué WordPress es una buena opción tanto para tener tu primera web, como para ampliar a algo más avanzado en un futuro, aprovechando la base inicial.Presentation Slides »

En esta charla compartiré cómo he evolucionado desde un simple chat hasta un sistema diseñado específicamente para asistir en el desarrollo de proyectos WordPress. Un sistema que entiende las distintas fases de un proyecto, conoce la estructura habitual de WordPress (arquitectura, CPTs, taxonomías, hooks, plantillas, plugins, etc.) y organiza el trabajo mediante agentes especializados, documentación compartida y procesos definidos. Veremos ejemplos reales de cómo utilizo herramientas como Kilo, agentes especializados, artefactos, documentación estructurada y conexiones MCP para asistir en tareas habituales del desarrollo WordPress: desde la estrategia inicial y la arquitectura de contenidos hasta la implementación del proyecto. Más que una charla sobre IA, es un caso práctico sobre cómo adaptar la inteligencia artificial al modo en que realmente se desarrollan proyectos WordPress.Presentation Slides »

La IA ya puede generar una web completa en pocos minutos. El problema es que muchas terminan pareciéndose demasiado entre sí: los mismos estilos, estructuras y recursos visuales, aunque pertenezcan a marcas completamente diferentes. En esta charla veremos qué hace que una web tenga realmente identidad y cómo podemos traducir una marca a un conjunto de decisiones de diseño claras: colores, tipografías, espaciados, formas, imágenes y otros elementos que hacen reconocible un proyecto. A partir de ejemplos reales, veremos cómo convertir esas decisiones en un pequeño sistema de diseño basado en tokens y por qué trabajar así resulta especialmente útil cuando utilizamos IA para crear una web. Finalmente veremos cómo esas reglas pueden trasladarse a WordPress y utilizarse con herramientas como Studio Code para conseguir que la IA no empiece cada página desde cero, sino que diseñe respetando una identidad previamente definida. No hace falta tener conocimientos técnicos: el objetivo es entender un método que permita dirigir mejor el diseño generado con IA y conseguir webs menos genéricas y mucho más coherentes con cada marca.Presentation Slides »

Publicar una web suele celebrarse como la llegada a la meta. Después de más de 15 años trabajando con proyectos WordPress, he aprendido que, en realidad, es solo el punto de partida. Muchas webs que funcionan perfectamente el día de su lanzamiento empiezan a deteriorarse poco después: actualizaciones que nadie se atreve a ejecutar, plugins de los que depende todo el negocio, decisiones técnicas que nadie recuerda, presupuestos de mantenimiento difíciles de defender y clientes que descubren demasiado tarde que su web no estaba preparada para evolucionar. En esta charla compartiré siete decisiones que condicionan la vida útil de un proyecto WordPress. La elección de su arquitectura y dependencias, la propiedad del conocimiento, la facilidad de mantenimiento, la seguridad, el rendimiento, la accesibilidad y la capacidad de evolucionar junto al negocio. Lo haré utilizando situaciones y aprendizajes extraídos de proyectos en los que hemos trabajado, mostrando tanto decisiones que han permitido mantener una web durante años como errores que terminaron provocando bloqueos, sobrecostes o reconstrucciones completas. El objetivo es que desarrolladores, profesionales y agencias puedan evaluar mejor sus proyectos antes de publicarlos y salgan de la charla con un modelo práctico para detectar riesgos y construir sitios WordPress más duraderos, «mantenibles» y rentables.Presentation Slides »

Muchas webs empiezan por el final: elegimos plantilla, estructura, bloques, plugins o diseño antes de haber decidido qué papel debe desempeñar esa web en el negocio. Y ahí empieza el problema. Porque muchas veces lo que falla no está en WordPress. Está en todas las decisiones que no se tomaron antes de abrirlo. En esta charla propongo cambiar el orden y recorrer el camino desde el negocio hasta WordPress: definir primero qué debe conseguir la web, entender a quién tiene que convencer y detectar qué separa a ese visitante de dar el siguiente paso. A esa distancia la llamaremos “distancia comercial”: todo aquello que el usuario todavía necesita comprender, creer o resolver antes de estar preparado para avanzar. Veremos cómo reducirla tomando decisiones sobre propuesta de valor, jerarquía de información, arquitectura, contenidos, objeciones, elementos de confianza y llamadas a la acción; y cómo traducir después esas decisiones en páginas, bloques, contenidos, formularios y recorridos concretos dentro de WordPress. Porque una web, especialmente cuando hablamos de servicios o procesos de compra complejos, no siempre tiene que cerrar la venta. Pero sí puede informar mejor, reducir incertidumbre, generar confianza y conseguir que la conversación comercial empiece mucho más avanzada. El objetivo es que los asistentes salgan con un marco práctico que puedan aplicar antes de construir su próximo proyecto en WordPress: qué decidir, en qué orden y con qué criterio para que la web tenga sentido no solo para quien la crea, sino también para el negocio y para quien la visita.Presentation Slides »

Las auditorías UX tradicionales pueden requerir muchas horas de análisis, documentación y priorización. Sin embargo, la Inteligencia Artificial está cambiando por completo este proceso. En esta sesión mostraré un flujo de trabajo real para realizar una auditoría UX de una web WordPress utilizando herramientas de IA, combinando evaluación heurística, análisis de accesibilidad, revisión de contenido, identificación de patrones de comportamiento y generación automática de informes accionables. Veremos qué tareas puede automatizar la IA, cuáles siguen necesitando criterio humano y cómo integrar este proceso en proyectos de diseño, desarrollo o mantenimiento web.Presentation Slides »

Un cliente grande te manda un Excel con 120 preguntas antes de firmar. O te pide «la política de seguridad de la información». O pregunta si estás certificado en algo. Si mantienes webs, desarrollas a medida o llevas la infraestructura de alguien, esto va a pasarte — y cada vez antes, porque quien te contrata tiene sus propias obligaciones y te las traslada por contrato. La reacción habitual es una de dos: decir que sí a todo para no perder el proyecto, o bloquearse. Las dos salen caras, y la primera además te deja expuesto. Veremos qué te están preguntando de verdad detrás de cada bloque, qué se puede contestar con honestidad cuando no tienes departamento de seguridad, qué cosas se arreglan en una tarde y cuáles no, y cómo se dice «no» sin caerte de la lista. Con los que aparecen una y otra vez: control de accesos, copias, gestión de proveedores, respuesta a incidentes, borrado de datos y subencargados. Lo cuento desde los dos lados: respondiendo cuestionarios como proveedor y montando después el programa que los contesta. Sin alarmismo, sin vender nada y sin confundir esto con asesoría jurídica.Presentation Slides »

Estamos acostumbrados a optimizar nuestros proyectos digitales: mejor hosting, menos plugins, imágenes optimizadas, automatizaciones, caché, mejores procesos… Pero ¿qué ocurre con el sistema desde el que hacemos todo ese trabajo? Quienes trabajamos con WordPress pasamos gran parte del día frente a una pantalla, saltando entre tareas, notificaciones, clientes, emails, redes sociales, reuniones y múltiples pestañas abiertas. Y, aunque optimicemos nuestras herramientas, seguimos intentando trabajar con un “sistema operativo” humano saturado. En esta charla propongo una nueva forma de entender la productividad: el Human Stack. Un marco práctico que conecta los principios de la optimización digital con los factores que determinan nuestro propio rendimiento: atención, energía, movimiento, respiración, descanso y recuperación. Exploraremos por qué la multitarea, las interrupciones constantes y la acumulación de decisiones afectan a nuestra capacidad de trabajar; cómo adaptar nuestro flujo de trabajo a nuestros niveles de energía; y cómo pequeños cambios en la forma de organizar nuestro entorno y nuestras tareas pueden mejorar tanto el rendimiento como el bienestar. La charla combinará ciencia, ejemplos cotidianos del trabajo con WordPress y pequeñas experiencias prácticas que permitirán a los asistentes comprobar en primera persona cómo cambia su capacidad de concentración y rendimiento. El objetivo no es trabajar más horas, sino diseñar una forma de trabajar que permita rendir mejor sin agotar el sistema que lo hace posible.Presentation Slides »

Este último año WooCommerce ha metido en su núcleo funciones que hasta ahora vivían solo en plugins de pago como guardar para más tarde, emails como la solicitud de reseñas tras la compra, imágenes para las variaciones y mucho más… El problema es que casi nadie las conoce, ya que llegan desactivadas por defecto y escondidas dentro del core. En esta charla repasaré cada una de estas novedades: qué hacen exactamente, si de verdad aportan valor o conviene esperar o bien sigue siendo necesario un plugin. Por último comentaré como hago estas actualizaciones y que conviene tener en cuenta para las próximas siguiendo la hoja de ruta.Presentation Slides »

Compramos libros, juegos, películas y cada vez más servicios digitales, pero ¿qué significa realmente comprar algo cuando lo que recibimos es una licencia de uso o el acceso a una plataforma? El software libre propone una relación diferente con el software, en la que no solo importa poder utilizarlo, sino también conservarlo, estudiarlo, modificarlo y compartirlo. Una charla sobre propiedad, control y libertad digital, y sobre por qué poder llevarte lo que has creado importa más de lo que parece.Presentation Slides »

WordPress es una herramienta poderosa, pero ningún cliente la contrata por sí misma: contrata resultados. El sitio web es uno de los activos digitales más importantes de cualquier marca, personal o comercial, y su valor depende de que esté conectado con la estrategia del negocio, no solo de que funcione bien. Recorreremos un sitio web como lo vería un estratega de marketing: desde el mensaje del home hasta la forma en que se mide lo que pasa en él. Identificaremos las red flags que hacen que un sitio se vea bien pero no genere resultados, y las green flags que lo convierten en una herramienta de crecimiento. Lo más importante: entenderemos el porqué detrás de cada una. Los asistentes saldrán con criterios para evaluar un sitio desde el negocio, preguntas estratégicas para usar con sus clientes antes de empezar un proyecto, y una nueva forma de presentar su trabajo: no como quien hace páginas, sino como quien construye resultados.Presentation Slides »

Cómo convertir tu voz, una maqueta musical o un video grabado con el celular en contenido profesional para marcas y redes sociales. En esta charla compartiré nuestro enfoque para combinar creatividad humana e inteligencia artificial en tres dimensiones: audio, video y motion graphics. Exploraremos cómo transformar una locución conservando su intención, desarrollar una idea musical en un jingle, integrar personas y productos reales en nuevas escenas y crear gráficos animados con Claude y herramientas conectadas mediante MCP. Herramientas y técnicas fáciles de implementar para convertir tu creatividad humana en piezas para crecer en redes sociales para ti o para tus clientes.Presentation Slides »

Para liderar hay que entender la misión, que retos tiene liderar a las personas, viene de la personalidad, de los deseos individuales o de las metas individuales, y ahora en remoto que lo vivimos gracias al covid, que lo vino a desmitificar le agrego una nueva capa para gestionarlos, que ya sabemos resolver y ahora la IA agrega una capa nueva que desde el liderazgo debemos de integrarla como una herramienta más, un colaborador más y sobre todo un activo para alcanzar la misión del equipo que se lidera y se gestiona.Presentation Slides »

Detrás de muchos sitios de marcas norteamericanas hay equipos que nunca aparecen en los créditos. Esta charla cuenta, sin romantizar, cómo funciona por dentro el modelo white-label: qué compran realmente las agencias cuando subcontratan, cómo se cobra y cómo se pierde dinero, qué documentos hay que firmar antes de escribir la primera línea de código, y por qué muchos de estos equipos terminan constituyendo una empresa en Estados Unidos, con todo lo que eso implica en herramientas, contabilidad y obligaciones fiscales. También muestra cómo la inteligencia artificial ya está adentro de ese flujo de trabajo: propuestas, auditorías de código, arranque de proyectos y monitoreo diario de sitios, con una regla clara de que ninguna entrega sale sin que una persona la revise y la firme. Incluye los errores que costaron caro, la ventaja que Guatemala tiene y casi nadie usa, y una lista concreta de qué hacer el lunes siguiente para empezar a construir esta relación con una agencia.Presentation Slides »

Descubre cómo está cambiando el SEO con la llegada de la inteligencia artificial. Carla Silva explorará cómo preparar tu sitio para aparecer en AI Overviews, AI Mode y otras respuestas generativas, y qué prácticas pueden ayudarte a mantener tu contenido visible y relevante en esta nueva forma de buscar información.Presentation Slides »

«La acción transforma lo que la estrategia imagina» se hace enfasis en que los resultados no viven en las ideas, viven al otro lado de la acción. la distancia entre donde estás y donde quieres llegar, no se llama talento. se llama ejecución. la tasa promedio de abandono de un carrito es del 70%. y eso se hace la analogia con la vida donde así vive mucha gente: llegan, pero no terminan. se mencionan 4 motivos del abandono: miedo, prefeccionismo, exceso de analisis e indisciplina La vida recomensa a quienes terminan lo que empiezan, no a los que arrancan bien. se mencionan principios de la ejecución: 1) claridad genera movimiento y vence el miedo, 2) la disciplina vence a la motivación, 3) la consistencia multiplica resultados como mensaje final: no permitas que tu vida se convierta en una colección de carritos abandonados…ejecutaPresentation Slides »

En un mundo que cada vez más nos empuja a enfrascarnos en ser y hacer una sola cosa, te propongo mirar la transdisciplinariedad como una ventaja creativa y estratégica para tu marca. Exploraremos cómo conectar conocimientos de distintas disciplinas puede ayudarnos a enriquecer nuestras propuestas, desarrollar mejores estrategias, crear comunicación digital y contenido que realmente conecte con nuestros públicos. No se trata de saberlo todo, sino de aprender a conectar lo que sabemos. Porque muchas veces nuestra próxima gran idea no está dentro de nuestra disciplina, sino justo en la intersección con otra.Presentation Slides »

Panel de Comunidad y despedida

¿Qué tienen en común la curiosidad, perder el miedo y crear oportunidades? En esta charla compartiré, desde mi experiencia, cómo ser un poco “shute y sin vergüenza” me ha llevado a aprender, construir y compartir. Hablaremos de comunidad, de atrevernos a levantar la mano y de cómo lo que aprendemos y construimos puede abrir oportunidades no solo para nosotros, sino también para quienes vienen detrás.Presentation Slides »

Un formulaire envoie ses leads vers le CRM par API. Validé en recette, ça marche. Six mois plus tard, le CRM tombe deux heures un mardi matin. Aucune alerte, aucun log, aucune reprise. Les leads partent dans le vide, et personne ne le découvre avant trois semaines. Cette conférence part d’un constat fait sur des dizaines d’audits de projets, toutes agences confondues : la résilience est le point aveugle des intégrations WordPress. La recette valide le chemin qui marche, jamais le chemin qui échoue. Chaque dépendance externe est traitée comme si elle était éternellement disponible – une panne silencieuse en attente. En partant du principe que « si ça peut échouer, ça échouera », on déroule les trois piliers d’une intégration qui résiste : savoir qu’elle a échoué (observabilité, logs structurés, alerting), ne pas perdre la donnée (découplage, persistance locale, outbox, files fiables), et réparer intelligemment (retry, backoff, circuit breaker). Le tout ancré dans WordPress (Action Scheduler, wp_remote_*, fragilité de WP Cron) et calibré par une échelle de maturité : tout le monde n’a pas besoin de tout blinder, mais tout le monde doit choisir son niveau en conscience du risque métier.

Un contenido práctico y sin alarmismo, pensado para desarrolladores, diseñadores web, agencias y autónomos que quieren una web segura sin aumentar el presupuesto. Grabado el 15 de octubre de 2026 en A Coruña.

Livrer un site ne garantit pas qu’il soit réellement mesurable. GA4 mal configuré, formulaires non trackés, conversions absentes… ce sont parmi les réclamations les plus fréquentes reçues par les agences web après une mise en ligne. Pourtant, l’objectif du tracking n’est pas simplement de collecter des données : il est de mesurer la performance des actions marketing et d’aider les entreprises à prendre de meilleures décisions. Sans données fiables, impossible d’identifier les canaux qui performent, d’optimiser les campagnes ou de démontrer le retour sur investissement. C’est une opportunité précieuse qui est souvent perdue dès le lancement du site. Cette conférence propose une checklist pratique et directement actionnable : 25 points à vérifier avant chaque mise en production, de l’installation de GA4 et Google Tag Manager au Consent Mode V2, en passant par les formulaires, les UTM, le cross-domain et les plateformes publicitaires (Google Ads, Meta Ads, Microsoft Ads). Vous repartirez avec une méthode simple et réutilisable pour livrer des sites WordPress qui ne sont pas seulement en ligne, mais réellement prêts à mesurer la performance et à guider les décisions de vos clients.

On a tous le même placard : un thème de 2014, un functions.php de 3000 lignes, du SQL en dur, zéro test, et la boule au ventre à chaque modif. La réécriture complète ? On ne la fera jamais. Alors on va faire autrement : du refactoring legacy assisté par IA, en direct, sur du vrai code spaghetti qu’on n’a pas écrit. Le comprendre, le sécuriser, le moderniser par petits pas qui tiennent. Et oui — on regardera aussi l’IA se planter, parce que c’est là que se joue la vraie compétence. Vous repartirez avec une méthode pour rouvrir ce placard sans tout casser. À la sortie : une stratégie de refacto incrémentale, l’IA pour décoder le legacy, et le filet de sécurité (tests) à poser avant de toucher quoi que ce soit.

Et si le vrai enjeu de WordPress n’était pas le CMS, mais la manière dont on travaille ensemble ? Il n’est pas rare de voir des sites développés comme des objets isolés : dépendants de celles et ceux qui les ont conçus, difficiles à maintenir, et presque impossibles à transmettre. WordPress n’échappe pas à cet écueil et lui donne parfois mauvaise réputation. Cette conférence propose de considérer WordPress comme un environnement collectif, pensé dès la conception produit pour être partagé, maintenable et évolutif. À travers un retour d’expérience concret, nous verrons comment structurer une stack et une organisation d’équipe autour de : standards communs et connus outils et workflows adaptés une approche produit centrée sur la transmission Nous mettrons en parallèle cette démarche avec l’évolution de WordPress, notamment Gutenberg et le Full Site Editing, qui ouvrent la voie à un véritable langage commun entre développeurs, designers et utilisateurs. Au-delà de la technique, cette conférence est une invitation à repenser notre manière de produire le web. Moins comme une succession de projets et davantage comme la co-construction d’un socle commun, durable et collectif. Un pas de côté pour sortir du web spaghetti et se rapprocher de la promesse / politique de WordPress.

Pendant des années, le déploiement WordPress rimait avec FTP, fichiers écrasés et sueurs froides le vendredi soir. On peut faire mieux, et c’est plus simple qu’on ne le croit. Dans cette conférence, on revient sur ce qui a changé dans nos pratiques de déploiement, ce que le déploiement continu apporte concrètement à un projet WordPress, et comment le mettre en place aujourd’hui avec les outils accessibles à tous. Au programme : pipelines GitHub Actions / Gitlab CI, WP-CLI, gestion des environnements, et une présentation pour comprendre comment à fonctionne en conditions réelles. Que vous deployiez encore en FTP ou que vous cherchiez à structurer votre workflow, vous repartirez avec une vision claire et des outils concrets à appliquer dès la fin de la conférence.

Dans chaque équipe que je forme, je vois le même réflexe : on ouvre le chat, on tape un prompt, et on réagit à ce que l’IA propose. On ne guide pas son exécution, on la subit. Est-ce vraiment ça utiliser l’IA ? La plupart des personnes ont adopté l’outil, pas la méthode. Il existe pourtant une discipline pour ça : le harness engineering. Elle repose sur plusieurs piliers : rules, commands, skills, agents, agents.md, qui transforment ton IA d’explorateur impétueux et non déterministe, en coéquipier qui connaît tes standards, ta stack et ta façon de travailler. Dans cette conférence, nous verrons à quoi sert chaque pilier, avec des exemples concrets sur des projets WordPress. Des rules qui imposent des coding standards, des commands pour exécuter des procédures, des skills pour créer des blocs ou des custom post types, des agents spécialistes de leur domaine. Et surtout, comment construire son propre harness engineering pour vraiment profiter de la puissance de ces outils. Tu repartiras avec une méthode claire pour passer de « je subis l’IA » à « mon IA a des ressources sur lesquelles se baser et une méthode à suivre ».

Exploration de différentes méthodologies d’audit offensif appliquées aux environnements WordPress, de l’identification de vulnérabilités jusqu’à leur exploitation. Un scénario réaliste de compromission d’un site WordPress sera présenté tout au long de la conférence afin d’illustrer les différentes étapes abordées.

A short Urdu screencast for new translators. It shows how to log in to translate.wordpress.org, open the Urdu locale, pick a plugin and its Stable (latest release) sub-project, filter the untranslated strings, write and suggest a translation, keep placeholders such as %d and %1$d unchanged (including plural forms), follow the Urdu glossary, and ask the Urdu Polyglots team on Slack to review the suggestions.

ASAP — As Simple As Pitching – How it helped me closing enterprise WordPress clients. Lead generation is a beauty, but the real magic (and money) lies in the closure. It is amazing when a curious lead converts into a client… or slips away into the mysterious land of “let me get back to you” or simply ghost you. In this talk, I’ll walk the audience through how I optimized my entire lead closure process — right from the first conversation to a final “we’re happy to get started with you.” I’ll break down the small tweaks, behavioural cues, follow-up systems, and proposal shifts that turned my closures from “will they convert” to a “they will convert.” It’s a mix of process, psychology, and a few stories from the past — all aimed at helping you build a smoother, smarter path from lead to client. Key takeaways Those lead generation activities that people follow, close easily but what about those big enterprise clients? What does it take to close them. Everyone wishes to grow to that level but what if they have a way to do it rather than relying on luck? And even when they do get an enterprise client it is an outsourced work, thereby paying them less. I wish to interact with such people and getting them to realise that each one has the potential, they just got to add that finishing touch. That’s what the talk will be and help these people go global. There’s no secret spell or dramatic plot twist involved, I’ll share the practical strategies that helped me shorten decision cycles, increase my win rate, avoid those ghosting tragedy, and convert the right leads potentially more than those dead, cold leads.
