@audrasjb called attention to the wonderful documentation work this cycle by @justinahinon and @jeffpaul. Thank you to both for their extraordinary efforts!

5.3 Updates

Follow the ticketticket Created for both bug reports and feature development on the bug tracker. progress in TracTrac An open source project by Edgewall Software that serves as a bug tracker and project management tool for WordPress. here.

@ianbelanger informed the group that there are currently 0 tickets in the Bundled Themes component for Twenty Twenty. However, he added that an RC3 release would be helpful.

@audrasjb brought up ticket #48396 regarding @afercia‘s request to revert two lines of CSS to remove an unwanted changes on disabled buttons. @azaozz confirmed the revert to be a minor one and suggested that it move forward based on testing.

A pre-RC3 Bug Scrub in the #core channel was tentatively scheduled for Monday October 28, 2019 15:00 UTC. If there are no new tickets or regressions reported prior, the scrub will not take place.

@sergeybiryukov asked about branching for 5.3 this week. @peterwilsoncc suggested certainly branching before WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. US Contributor DayContributor Day Contributor Days are standalone days, frequently held before or after WordCamps but they can also happen at any time. They are events where people get together to work on various areas of https://make.wordpress.org/ There are many teams that people can participate in, each with a different focus. https://2017.us.wordcamp.org/contributor-day/ https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/., as to allow for good-first-tickets to be committed for new contributors. @desrosj added that branching could be done at any time now that the dust has settled from RC2, but deferred to @azaozz‘s judgement as CoreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. Tech Lead for 5.3. @azaozz suggested trying to resolve a couple of remaining issues in 5.3 prior to branching in the next few days, and a consensus was reached around this idea.

Dev Chat Summary, October 16, 2019

@francina led off a well-attended dev chat – 29 active participants! – with the standard introduction and remarked that we were in Week Nine of the release cycle.

Announcements and Highlighted Posts

She issued a call for announcements and highlighted posts, then announced that WordPress 5.3 Release Candidaterelease candidate One of the final stages in the version release cycle, this version signals the potential to be a final release to the public. Also see alpha (beta). 1 had landed the day before, on October 16.

@azaozz and @sergey were our packagers; @francina and @desrosj led the process.

@johnbillion called the group’s attention to a crop of new dev notes as a way to keep up with changes in 5.3 for devs; @justinahinon linked to the 5.3-specific ones here.

@jeffpaul added that pending one more dev notedev note Each important change in WordPress Core is documented in a developers note, (usually called dev note).

The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) testing in the 5.3 Adminadmin (and super admin)

@francina directed the group to this report from @audrasjb on accessibility testing of the CSS changes coming to 5.3 against the 20 most popular plugins on the WordPress.org repository.

@francina thanked @jeffpaul for the Field Guide and @ipstenu for pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party support.

Upcoming Releases

5.3

@francina‘s call for updates prompted mostly murmurings that everything’s progressing on schedule. @azaozz pointed out there were only a couple of new tickets after RC1, and @desrosj had three to call out for reviews from other committers: #48022, #48312, #47699.

(Remember that after RC1, every commit needs signoff from two committers, not one, until launch.)

Discussion of a related ticketticket Created for both bug reports and feature development on the bug tracker., #48331, followed.

Calls from Component Maintainers

@francina opened the calls from component maintainers.

@jeffpaul: Not a component maintainer update, but worth noting that during the RC1 packaging process (I believe) we confirmed that trunktrunk A directory in Subversion containing the latest development code in preparation for the next major release cycle. If you are running "trunk", then you are on the latest revision. would be opened back up after RC2.  That may be worth confirming here and noting in the devchat summary post which you’re reading now)

@sergey and your faithful but tardy reporter confirmed that we’ll start milestoning for 5.4 at that point, and @desrosj pointed the group to the RC1 discussion here.

The final announcement from @davidbaumwald was this:

@committers Committing to Core is now open again.  Reminder, now that we’re in RC, the dev-feedback and dev-reviewed workflow is required prior to committing, where each commit must get double-signoff.

@desrosj pointed out that 5.4 already has 94 tickets. He encouraged the group and observers (and you, dear reader!) to address these 94 tickets first or puntpunt Contributors sometimes use the verb "punt" when talking about a ticket. This means it is being pushed out to a future release. This typically occurs for lower priority tickets near the end of the release cycle that don't "make the cut." In this is colloquial usage of the word, it means to delay or equivocate. (It also describes a play in American football where a team essentially passes up on an opportunity, hoping to put themselves in a better position later to try again.) them if they’re unrealistic.

Open Floor

@francina had two items.

RC2

RC2 is tomorrow, October 22. @francina asked the group for a team and a timeline; discussion followed about some last-minute changes that we won’t be making tomorrow.

Workflow for the About Page

@francina also opened the floor to a discussion about whether or not the About Page can get locked down 24 hours before a release. For the most part, the group agreed that much of the page can, but there will always be a few last-minute fixes — especially for majors.

See you tomorrow for the launch of RC2!

Noteworthy Admin CSS changes in WordPress 5.3

WordPress 5.3 will introduce a number of CSSCSS Cascading Style Sheets. changes in WordPress adminadmin (and super admin). While the necessity to improve wp-admin accessibilityAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) was previously raised in several TracTrac An open source project by Edgewall Software that serves as a bug tracker and project management tool for WordPress. tickets, GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/’s recent interface improvements made it necessary to improve the whole interface as well.

Background: in April 2019, WP-Campus conducted an accessibility audit of the new editor interface, made by an independent contractor, Tenon LLC. This audit raised issues in the editor but also in the media modal, which uses wp-admin styles. Fixing these issues on Gutenberg and on the media modal but not in the whole wp-admin interface would have been very inconsistent.

Some tickets were milestoned to the 5.3 release cycle to start backporting Gutenberg accessibility improvements to the whole admin interface. These first tickets aim to improve:

  • Color contrasts on form fields and buttons
  • Focus styles on form fields and buttons
  • Content behavior on text zoom

Backporting some of Gutenberg’s styles to fix these issues introduced some visual issues with the interface elements hierarchy. Therefore, Design and Accessibility teams worked on the overall visual hierarchy:

  • darker tables and metaboxes borders were introduced for a better hierarchy between interface elements

Note for pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party authors and WordPress developers

These changes are only CSS changes, and not structural changes, so the HTMLHTML HyperText Markup Language. The semantic scripting language primarily used for outputting content in web browsers. markup is exactly the same as before, with the same class attributes on each element.

In short, your styles should align with these changes if interface elements are not overridden by custom CSS. If you are overriding WordPress Admin CSS on form elements, you should test your plugins or your custom developments against WordPress 5.3 RCrelease candidate One of the final stages in the version release cycle, this version signals the potential to be a final release to the public. Also see alpha (beta). 1.

If you are a plugin author, there are different use cases:

  • Plugins that are using default Admin CSS styles should work just like before.
  • Plugins that are using custom Admin CSS styles by overriding default Admin CSS should be checked against 5.3.
  • Plugins that are using fully customized Admin CSS styles should not be concerned by those changes.

In general, plugin authors and WordPress developers are encouraged to:

  • remove any fixed heights: flexible heights are the WordPress recommended standard (and one of the main goals of the Admin CSS changes).
  • remove any custom top and bottom padding values.
  • remove any custom line-height values.
  • update their CSS code to override new focus/hover buttons colors if they use custom colors on this type of element.

In the next section of this dev notedev note Each important change in WordPress Core is documented in a developers note, (usually called dev note). Good dev notes generally include a description of the change, the decision that led to this change, and a description of how developers are supposed to work with that change. Dev notes are published on Make/Core blog during the beta phase of WordPress release cycle. Publishing dev notes is particularly important when plugin/theme authors and WordPress developers need to be aware of those changes.In general, all dev notes are compiled into a Field Guide at the beginning of the release candidate phase., you’ll find some noteworthy CSS changes coming in WordPress 5.3.

Main things that are changing in 5.3:

  • Forms fields: 
    • text inputs
    • textareas
    • selects
    • checkboxes
    • radiobuttons
    • both primary and secondary buttons
    • colorpickers
  • Tables, notifications and metaboxes

Known issues

Available for testing in WordPress 5.3 RC 1, these changes have been tested in various use cases and no breakage situation was identified during the tests. Please check the report for full information about the testing panel.

Report: WP 5.3 Admin CSS changes tested against top 20 plugins

This is a work in progress, just like anything in WordPress CoreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress.. These usability improvements were implemented during summer 2019 then tested and iterated on September and October. After 5.3 is released, the idea is to iterate on wp-admin design to make it fully consistent with the editor interface, and to provide a great and accessible editorial experience for websites administrators. The next minor releases will fix small issues with 5.3 changes and the next majors will improve the consistency of user experiences between Gutenberg and WordPress administration.

Block Editor

The block editor has continued its rapid iteration since WordPress 5.0, and now has GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/ version 6.5 bundled with WordPress 5.3; that’s TWELVE releases all bundled into 5.3 (versions 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, and 6.5)! Bug fixes and performance improvements from Gutenberg versions 6.6 and 6.7 will also be part of 5.3. The Beta 1 post highlights many of the new features and improvements across these releases, but I’ll specifically pull out the reduction in 1.5 seconds of loading time for a particularly sizeable post (~ 36,000 words, ~ 1,000 blocks) as an impressive achievement given all that has otherwise been added to the block editor. The dev notes below also highlight new server-side block style variations APIAPI An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways., a new block example API, the Group block, reduced block styles specificity, using class names for text alignment, Columns block classnames, color support for the separator block, an updates to Table and Gallery blocks markup.

Of the 15 updates for Multisite in 5.3, you’ll want to particularly note changes to the database, changes to WP_MS_Sites_List_Table, return for short circuits for multisite classes, and improved performance for site and networknetwork (versus site, blog) lookups by ID. Read the dev note below for more details on the Multisite component.

Enhancements to the Network Sites Screen in WordPress 5.3

PHP 7.4 & Code Modernization

The great news continues. WordPress 5.3 supports PHP 7.4, which is scheduled for release at the end of November! Contributors worked with several external libraries to ensure that all 5 tickets addressing compatibility issues for PHP 7.4 were addressed in time for WordPress 5.3.

In addition to ensuring 5.3 supports PHP 7.4, a handful of updates occurred as a result of the continued coding standards and code modernization efforts. Most notably, the spread operator is now in use where appropriate, and the native PHP JSONJSON JSON, or JavaScript Object Notation, is a minimal, readable format for structuring data.

WordPress 5.3: Site Admin Email Verification Screen

In WordPress 5.3, a new screen has been introduced to help ensure the site’s administration email remains accurate and up to date. The site’s adminadmin (and super admin) email (as defined when installing WordPress, and found on the Settings > General page) is a critical part of every WordPress site. This new screen will help site owners remain in full control of their site, even as years go by.

How does this work?

By default, administrators will see a screen after logging in that lists the site’s admin email address once every 6 months.

They are presented with 4 actions:

  1. The site’s email is verified as correct: After clicking “The email is correct” button, the user is taken to the Dashboard with an admin notice saying “Thank you for verifying”. The screen will be hidden for 6 months from all administrators.
  2. The site’s email needs to be changed: After clicking the “Update” button, the user is taken to the Settings > General page where they can update the site’s email address. Administrators will be presented with the verification screen the next time they log in.
  3. The user clicks “Remind me later”: the user is taken to the Dashboard. Administators will see the screen again after 3 days have passed.
  4. Back to “Site Name”: When this link is clicked, the user will be taken to the site’s home page. Administrators will be presented with the verification screen the next time they log in.

Available Actions and Filters

Actions

There are a few action hooksHooks In WordPress theme and development, hooks are functions that can be applied to an action or a Filter in WordPress. Actions are functions performed when a certain event occurs in WordPress. Filters allow you to modify certain functions. Arguments used to hook both filters and actions look the same. on the verification page that developers can use to customize the screen.

  • admin_email_confirm – Fires before the admin email confirm form.
  • admin_email_confirm_form – Fires inside the admin-email-confirm-form form tagtag A directory in Subversion. WordPress uses tags to store a single snapshot of a version (3.6, 3.6.1, etc.), the common convention of tags in version control systems. (Not to be confused with post tags.), but before any other output.

A new action hook after the form was not introduced. Instead, use the login_footer action, which is called just after the closing </form> tag. The if ( 'confirm_admin_email' === $_GET['action'] ) conditional can be used to check that the email verification screen is being shown.

Filters

One new filterFilter Filters are one of the two types of Hooks https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks. They provide a way for functions to modify data of other functions. They are the counterpart to Actions. Unlike Actions, filters are meant to work in an isolated manner, and should never have side effects such as affecting global variables and output., admin_email_check_interval, has also been introduced. This filter can be used to change the frequency that administrators should see the verification screen.

The following example changes the interval from the default of 6 months to 2 months:

<?php
function myplugin_admin_email_check_interval( $interval ) {
	return 2 * MONTH_IN_SECONDS;
}
add_filter( 'admin_email_check_interval', 'myplugin_admin_email_check_interval' );

Note: The returned value should always be in seconds.

This filter can also be used to disable the feature by returning a “falsey” value, such as 0, or false.

The following example will disable the admin email verification check:

<?php
add_filter( 'admin_email_check_interval', '__return_false' );

The REST API in WordPress 5.3

WordPress 5.3 contains a number of REST APIREST API The REST API is an acronym for the RESTful Application Program Interface (API) that uses HTTP requests to GET, PUT, POST and DELETE data. It is how the front end of an application (think “phone app” or “website”) can communicate with the data store (think “database” or “file system”) https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/. improvements designed to make it easier and faster to work with APIAPI An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways. data from the blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor.

Register Array & Object Metadata

As covered previously in this developer note on array & object metadata, it is now possible to use register_post_meta & register_term_meta (as well as the underlying method register_meta) to interact with complex metaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group.

It is used primarily to transmit data between a server and web application, as an alternative to XML. arrays or objects using the REST API. See the linked post for more details.

Nested response filtering with _fields query parameter

This developer note on the changes to the REST API’s _fields= query parameter shows how you may now filterFilter Filters are one of the two types of Hooks https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks. They provide a way for functions to modify data of other functions. They are the counterpart to Actions.

Ticketticket Created for both bug reports and feature development on the bug tracker. #42094

Set drafts back to “floating date” status

Once a date has been set for a draft, it was previously impossible to set the post back to showing “publish immediately” (also referred to as a “floating date,” where the post will be dated whenever it is published). As of 5.3, passing null for a date value will unset the draft date and restore this floating state.

Ticket #39953

Faster Responses

We have introduced a caching wrapper around the generation of REST resource schema objects, which initial testing has shown to yield up to a 30-40% performance increase in large API responses. If you work with expensive or large REST API queries, things should be quite a bit faster now. (Ticket #47871)

The REST API has also been improved to avoid unnecessary controller object instantiation (#45677) and to skip generation of sample permalinks when that data is not requested (#45605).

Please Note: if your team has existing performance benchmarking tooling for the REST API, please contact the component maintainers in the #core-restapi SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. channel; we very much desire to expand our metrics in this area.

Additional Changes of Note

In addition to these key enhancements, there are a number of smaller improvements to the REST API which may be of interest to developers.

  • It is no longer possible to DELETE a Revision resource using the REST API, as this behavior could break a post’s audit trail. Ticket #43709
  • The /search endpoint will now correctly embed the full original body of each matched resource when passing the _embed query parameter. Ticket #47684
  • rest_do_request and rest_ensure_request now accept a string API path, so it is possible to instantiate a request in PHPPHP The web scripting language in which WordPress is primarily architected. WordPress requires PHP 5.6.20 or higher using nothing more than the desired endpoint string, e.g.
    rest_do_request( '/wp/v2/posts' );
    Ticket #40614
  • Creating or updating a Terms resource via the REST API now returns the updated object using the “edit” context. Ticket #41411
  • It is now possible to edit a posted comment through the REST API when authenticating the request as a user with the moderate_comments capability. Previously a full editor- or adminadmin (and super admin)-level role was needed. Ticket #47024
  • rest_get_avatar_urls now receives the entire User or Comment object, not just the object’s email address. Ticket #40030

Welcoming Timothy Jacobs as a REST API component maintainer

Last but not least, many of you have no doubt seen @timothyblynjacobs active in tracTrac An open source project by Edgewall Software that serves as a bug tracker and project management tool for WordPress., slack, and community events. Timothy has driven much of the momentum that resulted in the above improvements, and I’m excited to (belatedly) announce that he has joined the REST API team as an official component maintainer. Thank you very much for your energy and dedication!

Thank you also to every other person who contributed to API changes this cycle; it’s the best version of the REST API yet, and we couldn’t have done it without the dozens of contributors who helped create, review and land these patches.

We’ve got some ambitious ideas about how we can make the REST API even better in 5.4.

Report: WP 5.3 Admin CSS changes tested against top 20 plugins

In September 2019, the WordPress AccessibilityAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) team tested WP 5.3 Adminadmin (and super admin) CSSCSS Cascading Style Sheets. changes against the Top 20 plugins on WordPress.org, to evaluate possible breakage on plugins admin screens and to iterate on the related changes.

This week, those tests were reproduced against 5.3-beta3-46471. This post is a report illustrated with screenshots of relevant admin screens for each pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party.

The idea was to test Admin CSS changes against various use cases to see what could happen and to fix as many found bugs as possible. Of course, not every use cases are covered in 20 plugins, but the Accessibility team assumes it will provide a general view on the robustness of the changes coming in WP 5.3.

A dev notedev note Each important change in WordPress Core is documented in a developers note, (usually called dev note). Good dev notes generally include a description of the change, the decision that led to this change, and a description of how developers are supposed to work with that change. Dev notes are published on Make/Core blog during the beta phase of WordPress release cycle. Publishing dev notes is particularly important when plugin/theme authors and WordPress developers need to be aware of those changes.In general, all dev notes are compiled into a Field Guide at the beginning of the release candidate phase. will quickly follow this post, to communicate on all the CSS changes coming in WP 5.3 admin screens to plugin authors and WordPress developers.

To sum up, some plugins which use custom CSS that override WordPress Admin default CSS rules on form controls may have few minor visual glitches. Most notably: the input fields can be taller than before WP 5.3. There’s no breakage as the input fields are fully operable, but plugin authors and WordPress developers are encouraged to:

  • remove any fixed heights: flexible heights are the WordPress recommended standard (and one of the main goals of the Admin CSS changes)
  • remove any custom top and bottom padding values
  • remove any custom line-height values

For each plugin, screenshot are provided. You can click them to see the full media file.
