Program transcript
Hello, I’m Alicia Ireland, and you’re listening to WPpodcast, bringing the weekly news from the WordPress Community.
In this episode, you’ll find the information from May 12th to 18th, 2025.
WordPress.org has updated the footer of its website to include icons for all its active social platforms: X, Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, and Tumblr. This was achieved thanks to several contributors and the use of Postpone, a new publication scheduling tool that will enable content management for its audience of 2.4 million followers.
Although the content is optimized and specifically scheduled for each social network, the updates will be similar across all platforms, ensuring users won’t miss anything, regardless of the platform they use. Additionally, those who want the WordPress project’s content amplified on social networks can submit requests via GitHub using the “Request for Amplification” template.
Building the Testing Use-Case highlights the importance of creating clear and accessible testing use cases to enhance code quality in WordPress, especially in backend areas that are difficult to evaluate visually. Although unit tests are useful, they can be biased by a developer’s perspective and may not cover all possible scenarios. Therefore, it is proposed to document test use cases that clearly outline the problem, proposed solution, and steps to verify its functionality, facilitating easier review and collaboration among developers and testers at various levels of experience.
It is suggested to structure these use cases in sections such as “The Hook” (context of the problem), “Code Refactoring”, “Backend Improvements and New Features”, and “Performance Improvements”. This methodology aims to standardize and simplify collaboration in WordPress development, allowing more people to contribute effectively. Additionally, there’s consideration of integrating these use cases into tools such as the Handbook or GitHub, and the community is invited to participate in their development and refinement.
