Join Us Again for Global WordPress Translation Day

The WordPress Polyglots team is organizing the second Global WordPress Translation Day on November 12th. Everyone is invited to join – from anywhere in the world!

Translating is one of the easiest ways to get involved with WordPress and contribute to the project. Global WordPress Translation Day is your chance to learn more about translating WordPress, meet people from all over the world, and translate WordPress into one of more than 160 languages.

Join us on November 12th from anywhere in the world

The translation day starts on Saturday, November 12th, 2016, at 0:00 UTC and ends 24 hours later. See what time that is for you! You can join right from the start, or any time it’s convenient for you throughout the day.

What are we doing?

Local contributor days are happening all over the world, and are a great way to get involved. Check out this map to see if there’s already a local event happening near you. Can’t find one? Organize a local event!

At the same time, join the community for 24 hours of live-streamed, remote sessions in numerous languages. Sessions will cover localization, internationalization, and contribute to your language.

Who’s it for?

Whether you’re new to translating and want to learn how to translate, or an experienced translation editor building a strong team, the translation day is for you. Developers will also enjoy topics from experienced contributors, whether you’re learning about internationalization and or want to find more translators for your themes and plugins. There’s a session for everyone!

Get Involved

Joining is easy! On November 12th, in your own timezone, translate WordPress or your favourite plugins and themes into your language, while watching live sessions over the course of the day.

Want to get more involved? Sign up to organize a local event and invite your local community to translate together on November 12th. Events can be formal or completely informal – grab your laptop and a couple of friends, and head to a local coffee shop to translate for an hour or two.

Can you get involved if you only speak English?

Absolutely! Even if you only speak English, there are great sessions about internationalization that can benefit every developer. There are also lots of English variants that need your help! For example, English is spoken and written differently in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. You can learn about these differences and why these variants are important during the sessions.

And if you’re feeling fun, try translating WordPress into emoji! Yep, we have a translation of WordPress in emoji! 🙂 😛

Questions?

If you have any questions, the polyglots team and the event organizers hang out in #polyglots in Slack and are happy to help! (Get an invite to Slack at chat.wordpress.org.)

My first contribution to WordPress core; and how you can do the same.

WordPress 4.6 was released just a few days ago. There were a lot of contributors that helped make WordPress 4.6 a reality. I’m proud to say that I was one of them. I never thought I’d be able to make the list but thanks to some help, I was able to contribute in my own way. The following is my experience contributing to WordPress.

During the development of WordPress 4.6, I used the WordPress Beta Testing plugin to keep up with changes on my local server. While I was not able to find a bug, I kept looking on trac and came across a ticket which was concentrating on the user interface, and was really easy to fix, you can see it for yourself

Is changing text really a contribution?

When I bumped on the ticket, I thought about whether just changing text would classify as a contribution. It was a small change that involved changing label for a button. and then I came across a blog post by Jeff Chanfler on WP Travern, This article talks about the experience Jeff had when he made his first core contribution. And surprising enough it was a typo which he reported and gave a patch for.

What he talked about in the blog post was interesting, I learnt that people have contributed to WordPress simply by removing whitespace from or adding underscores to code. No contribution is small when it comes to WordPress. So don’t worry what contribution you do, however, small is that, take pride in the contribution you have done.

Getting My Patch Into Core

After knowing about the bug, I just installed the trunk to a local VVV install, took a fresh pull again to be sure. Made the changes required, and prepared a patch.

Don’t worry, creating a patch is super easy, especially if you are using one of the Linux distro or any UNIX-based computer. It needs some installations to be done on Windows, though. You can read more about it here, OR keep reading below.

Creating a Patch/Diff file

Setting up the Development Site
There are various ways you can setup a development environment; the best and the most comfortable I found to work with is Vagrant VVV by 10up.
All you need to do it create a directory with the name you wish it to be called, git clone the VVV project in the directory, then navigate to the directory using your terminal and type “vagrant up”. If you need to know about Vagrant VVV in detail you can visit their GitHub page with explains it thoroughly. After vagrant up, you get set of sites ready to go,
http://local.wordpress.dev/ for WordPress stable
http://local.wordpress-trunk.dev/ for WordPress trunk
http://src.wordpress-develop.dev/ for trunk WordPress development files
http://build.wordpress-develop.dev/ for the version of those development files built with Grunt
http://vvv.dev/ for a default dashboard containing several useful tools

What we are interested in here is the trunk, so we get the latest version of the build for WordPress core. (I generally do a vagrant provision one again just to be sure I am on the latest build).

Once that is done, you can either test it for bugs or perform unit testing for the patch submitted

After you are ready with your development environment, go forward and make the changes you need to, test it until you get the perfect results. Refer the bug report for expected results.

After you get the expected result, Create a patch as described here. On Linux you can simply do;

svn diff filename.php > filename.diff

svn diff > big_patch.diff

patch -p0 < patch.diff

If you are using git instead of svn, you may want to refer this.

Upload the patch file on the wordpress.org core trac . Change the status to has patch.

After you do this, other friendly people on the trac will review your patch.

WordPress Needs Core Contributor Mentors

WordPress would benefit from having a list of people that act as mentors for those contributing to WordPress for the first time via Trac. Drupal has gone through great lengths to make core contributing mentorship a priority. They have an entire site dedicated to mentoring new contributors. Even if it were not as organized as Drupal, I’d like to see a list of mentors I could get in touch with to walk me through the process of patching a bug or fixing a typo in core.

Contributing Was Awesome

Despite it only being a typo, contributing to the core of WordPress was exhilarating. Special thanks to Saurabh Shukla for answering a lot of question I had when creating the patch. The last thing I want to do on Trac makes the core WordPress developers job harder by improperly making tickets. Instead of screwing up, it’s better to not mess with Trac at all. At least that’s the way I’ve approached it.

While there is a handbook devoted entirely to contributing to WordPress, it’s not the same as being guided through the process with an experienced individual. Thankfully, most of the WordPress community is approachable and getting help is as easy as a tweet, or Slack, or emailing someone.

At the end of the day, I contributed to WordPress and you can too.

Child Themes with wp_enqueue_style()

Using Child Themes in WordPress is a great way to modify an existing theme, however, the CSS @import directive is slower than it has to be, so you should try and avoid it. Here’s why.

If it takes 200ms to load the child theme’s stylesheet, and 200ms to load the parent-theme’s CSS, a modern web browser should take approximately 200ms to load both of them, because modern browsers load assets in parallel.

Unfortunately, this is not true for CSS.@import Let me quote Google:

The browser must download, parse, and execute first.css before it is able to discover that it needs to download second.css.

Which means that instead of 200ms, with it @import’ll take the web browser approximately 400ms to load both style sheets. Here’s a typical child theme’s CSS:

/*
 Theme Name:   My Child Theme
 Theme URI:    http://example.com/child-theme/
 Description:  Child Theme
 Author:       John Doe
 Author URI:   http://example.com
 Template:     parent-theme
 Version:      1.0.0
 License:      GNU General Public License v2 or later
 License URI:  http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html
*/

@import url(../parent-theme/style.css);  

/* My Child Theme CSS */

We can drop the @import statement, and make good use of functions.php and the wp_enqueue_style() function:

<?php // Opening PHP tag - nothing should be before this, not even whitespace
// Faster than @import 
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_child_theme_scripts' ); 
function my_child_theme_scripts() {     
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-theme-css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' ); 
}

And we don’t need to re-declare dependencies because the child theme’s functions.php is loaded before the parent theme’s. Unless, of course, the parent theme uses a different action priority, in which case we should just match it.

That’s +1 to the PageSpeed score 🙂

Going even further, since we are already using function.php can put as many or as few functions as you wish.
Here are some simple yet interesting things you can do with adding few lines to code to your function.php file;

Adds a favicon link to the head element of HTML pages.

// Custom Function to Include favicon
function favicon_link() {
    echo '<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon.ico" />' . "n";
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'favicon_link' );

Hope this helps.

Other features include: support for MySQL, PDO and MySQLi, support for Zip Archive and Pcl Zip.

How to do Search and Replace in WordPress with a Plugin

Are you looking to do search and replace in WordPress? Recently, one of my friends asked us how to run search and replace on WordPress database without writing any SQL code or using phpMyAdmin. Many beginners are not comfortable with code, so that’s why we found a search and replace plugin for WordPress. In this article, I will try to show you how to do search and replace in WordPress.

Getting Started

It is extremely important that you create a complete WordPress backup before making any changes to your WordPress database.

Make this best practice a habit, things can go wrong anytime when you are making direct changes to the WordPress database. If you have a backup, then you can easily restore your WordPress site without losing anything.

Installing and Using Better Search and Replace for WordPress

First thing you need to do is install and activate the Better Search Replace plugin. Upon activation, you need to visit Tools » Better Search Replace page to use the plugin.

Simply add the text string you want to search for and then add the replace text.

After that, you need to select the tables you want to look into. For example, if you want to search and replace some text in your posts then you may want to select the posts table. You can also select multiple tables if you want.

Learn more about WordPress database management and what each table does in WordPress.

The plugin can run a case-sensitive search and replace. It can also perform a dry run which allows you to see how many cells are affected by your search without actually replacing the text.

When you are satisfied, click on run search/replace button. If you did not check the dry run option, then the plugin will now run a search and replace on your WordPress database.

Troubleshooting

You may see the white screen or run into timeouts while performing a search and replace. Simply click on the settings tab on the plugin page.

You will notice the max page size option. Try decreasing the page size to avoid timeouts and white screen.

That’s all, we hope this article helped you find a better search and replace plugin for WordPress database. You may also want to see our tutorial on how to clean up your WordPress database for improved performance.

First Experience as a WordCamp Organiser @ WCPune

Before WordCamp Pune, I had attended 3 WordCamps. My first WordCamp as an attendee was actually the first one in my country.

Every WordCamp helped me understand the WordPress eco-system better. Every time the experience was better than the previous one, may be because everyone is better at learning from experiences.

Before my very first experience with WordCamp, I had an impression in mind that WordCamp is a sort of corporate event which the WordPress Foundation does to promote their product. Very soon I found myself wrong. WordCamp is actually a community event, for the community, by the community. WordCamp Central helps at every possible thing, but the organisers are given ample of freedom with respect to the event decisions.

Everyone love #WCPune, even the Automattic HQ, here is video from Matt himself!

@photomatt had a message for #WCPune. Just in case you missed it: https://t.co/w4VQD1bAKi

Observations:

The team work at the WordCamp is something which brought me closer to the community. The Lead organiser at #WCPune was awesome with handling the team, introducing some new thing which happened for the first time in WordCamp Pune. Every decision was taken as a team. Just like WordPress, the WordCamp community is open & GLP 😛 you can fork the original and spice it up with your positive inputs, the WordCamp Central always welcomes such forks. All 11 of us has several inputs which resulted in an awesome experience. Though there were a few hiccups, but that’s okay.

Meetup’s proved to be the backbone of the WordCamp. Regular Meetup’s not only helped us the have a better planning, but it also helped to connect with a larger group of people. There are a lot of examples of people/ organisations which we never knew of, and they came into light just because of the Meetups.

I think this was the first time, where it was made very clear about what to expect at the WordCamp, well before it. All the preparation went smoothly due to the prior planning, though many things happened just a couple of days prior to D-day 😛

New ideas like making a complete eco-friendly WordCamp, donating tickets to underprivileged, having fruits, tea and other refreshments for the whole day turned out to be awesome and liked by many.

WCPune was the first Multi-lingual WordCamp in India. We had sessions in Marathi, Hindi as well! I personally liked the multi-track system we followed, but I am sort of unhappy that the multitrack made it finish soon. I wanted it longer, at-least 2 days.

Some note worthy speakers/ attendees like Topher DeRosia, Mahangu Weerasinghe, Andy Christian, Raghavendra Peri and Harish Iyermultitrackover the world came at WC Pune. It was an honour to have each one of them.

I also like the selfie station, it was an awesome idea! and I think many others liked it too…

//platform.twitter.com/widgets.jsLot of blogger and first timers at WordCamp liked the sessions specially the once related to blogging. Word Lounge and the Blogger’s Gym were loved by bloggers.

The other thing that happened at Pune, which every one should proud of is giving a spark to many other cities to develop the community via regular meetup’s. I hope in the following year we have lot more WordCamps to go to.

Delhi, Nashik, Goa, Bangalore… #WCPune has ignited a lots of sparks… lets hope for the best. #WPMeta https://t.co/QJlok85IxD

What I learnt:

I found out that the community has imminence potential. I learnt most of the things from the community itself! One of the underlying ideas is contributing to WordPress, and contributing to community I’ve seen how everyone is ready to hear you out, people want to know your opinion rather than forcing their ideas on to you. Above all, I thoroughly enjoyed #WCPune. I am happy that many people like it, and the fact that I could give a bit back to the community. And just like @unsharpme said, would love to do this over and over again.

It was a pleasure hosting 500 #WordPress folks… would love to keep doing it again and again… https://t.co/HNMkWHE9mH — Premanshu M (@unsharpme) September 9, 2015

Another significant form of WordPress was released on Wednesday. WordPress 4.3, “Billie”, brings some cool new components into WordPress that you’re truly going to adore.

Since adaptation 1.0 of WordPress came out in 2004, and named after Miles Davis, each significant variant since has been named after a well known jazz artist. 4.3 is no exemption, as it’s named after the amazingly capable Billie Holiday. Get into the right attitude by listening to Billie Holiday on Rdio while you read whatever remains of this article.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb6OBig4Wf0?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent]

The WordPress community has assembled an extraordinary feature indicating how a percentage of the new upgrades in WordPress 4.3 may be utilized as a part of a certifiable situation. This is more assessment than anything, yet I cherish how the feature shows utilizing the new WordPress highlights as a part of the setting of an eatery proprietor overhauling her site for her day by day menu.

A considerable measure of the time designers get so made up for lost time in code, that we disregard the deciding objective, which is enhancing the WordPress experience for clients. The feature is truly pleasantly done and certainly worth viewing in the event that you have a couple of minutes to save.

WordPress Menus in the Customizer

WordPress Menus can now be gotten to from Appearance –> Menus where they’ve generally been, yet in 4.3 they can now be gotten to from the WordPress Customizer as well. At the point when the choice was made to move menus to the customizer, there was a really huge turmoil from various individuals in the WordPress group.

I chose to take to a greater extent a “keep a watch out” methodology in light of the fact that I figured things could wind up truly extraordinary, or truly muddled relying upon how the change was executed. The way that menus have been included into the customizer is truly pleasant. The stream feels to a great degree characteristic, and a major stride up from the moving we’ve been utilized to.

I tried to set up together a feature instructional exercise to walk you through the greater part of the ins and outs of the menus highlight and you can watch it underneath.

Better Passwords

We cherish this new expansion! Presently, of course, when you add another client to your WordPress site, an in number and secure secret word is naturally created for that client. Much more, rather than messaging the new secret key to the new client, WordPress essentially messages that new client a watchword reset join.

Solid Password Screenshot obligingness of WordPress.org

This takes care of the issue of clients being sent new passwords unreliably by means of email, furthermore verifies that none of us fall into the trap of utilizing one of those absurdly simple to hack passwords. It’s an incredible new component from a security outlook, and ought help guarantee best practices, as well as should eliminate the quantity of brute force hacks that can happen against WordPress sites.

Content Formatting Shortcuts

Another truly perfect component that was presented in WordPress 4.3 is the capacity to configuration content while you write. That implies you can include headings, quotes, bulleted records, and numbered records, without clicking anything in the content tool. You can do it all consequently as you write.
