Welcome to the official blog for the WordPress Support team.

Need help with a WordPress issue? You can find help with your WordPress problem by posting in the support forums or asking on the #wordpress IRC channel.

Answering a question in the support forums or on IRC is one of the easiest ways to get started. Everyone knows the answer to something!

We have a detailed handbook to help contributors learn how to work with the forums and IRC.

Wherefore the WTFBBQ Post?

I made a conscious decision not to make one for 3.8. Not because I think the release was perfect, but because there wasn’t enough to make a post. There barely was last time. As long as we here are prepared.

https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/forum-moderator/stock-answers/ has the stock replies, so I think… for the most part we;re going to be alright 🙂

So far 3.8 has been great. I haven’t seen anything blow up or gone awry.

It’s all good. 😉 There’s a thread or two about the 3.8 admin interface CSSCSS CSS is an acronym for cascading style sheets. This is what controls the design or look and feel of a site. but that seems to be going alright. That was expected since changing the look or styling always gets a small but vocal group of people who don’t like those changes.

Aside from that it’s been great.

  “I don’t like MP6” and “I don’t like TwentyFourteen” are not ‘bugs’ so they don’t really deserve to be made much of in this case. Same thing happened in 3.0 and 3.1 when we moved things around.

I actually went looking for this because we’re seeing a few tickets with pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party & widgetWidget A WordPress Widget is a small block that performs a specific function. You can add these widgets in sidebars also known as widget-ready areas on your web page. WordPress widgets were originally created to provide a simple and easy-to-use way of giving design and structure control of the WordPress theme to the user. issues. Like.. things disappearing. No I don’t have enough info yet.

  MP6 turned itself off and … that was about it.
  
  Oh and weird caching issues.
