Title: core-php – Make WordPress Design --- # Tag Archives: core-php [ ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jaymanpandya/) [Jayman Pandya](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jaymanpandya/) 8:46 pm _on_ January 23, 2019 Tags: core-php, [design ( 217 )](https://make.wordpress.org/design/tag/design/) # 󠀁[Call for Design: PHP Upgrade Page](https://make.wordpress.org/design/2019/01/23/call-for-design-php-upgrade-page/)󠁿 #### What is it? As we all know that the PHPPHP PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML. [https://www.php.net/manual/en/index.php](https://www.php.net/manual/en/index.php) 5.5, 5.6 and 7.0 has hit the EOL (End of Life) and is no longer actively supported, PHP 7.2 and 7.3 are now actively supported. The [#core-php](https://make.wordpress.org/core/) team is working on a page that spreads awareness about upgrading the server to supported PHP versions for the purpose of performance and security. #### What is the current status? Work has been going on for a while, the [#core-php](https://make.wordpress.org/core/) team is working on this and they have built a page right now which can be viewed [here](https://wordpress.org/support/update-php/). There were a few designs that were created back in May 2018 and will have to be reworked on to accomodate the new fresh content. The page has a chunk at the top which gives a clear message if the server needs to be upgraded or not. * ![](https://i1.wp.com/make.wordpress.org/design/files/2019/01/Success-1.jpg?fit =776%2C696&ssl=1) * ![](https://i1.wp.com/make.wordpress.org/design/files/2019/01/Warning-1.jpg?fit =776%2C696&ssl=1) #### What is to be improved? The current design is single column and does not have the ‘Table of Contents’ like the one implemented in the live page. There also needs to be a more design-wise seamless integration of the chunk at the top which gives a clear message if the server needs to be upgraded or not. #### What is the plan? This page is currently live but needs improvement in terms of how it educates the user by clearly telling that the upgrade is required. [@flixos90](https://profiles.wordpress.org/flixos90/) and myself are working on this page. Contributions and thoughts are welcome and you can reach out to us or [#design](https://make.wordpress.org/design/tag/design/) channel to discuss this.

Woo hoo! You can follow the posted agenda [here](https://make.wordpress.org/design/2019/01/15/design-meeting-agenda-for-wednesday-16th-january/). ## Update PHPPHP PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML. 󠀁[https://www.php.net/manual/en/index.php](https://www.php.net/manual/en/index.php)󠁿 page First up, we chatted about the update PHP page in WordPress. Felix Artnz shared the need for design support. He is representing the [#core-php](https://make.wordpress.org/design/tag/core-php/) team, and has been working on helping site owners update outdated versions of PHP. Link to the [Slack chat](https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02S78ZAL/p1547665455265200) conversation. The [update PHP page](https://wordpress.org/support/update-php/) is an important part of all this. They’re looking for design help on the page, updating visual assets and the copy. Jayman Pandya volunteered to help and give updates back to the channel with Felix. ## Site Health Check project Earlier today Tim Hengeveld shared a call for design to join on an exciting project. I want to use the nifty embed feature in this post, check it out! > [Call for design: Site Health Check project](https://make.wordpress.org/design/2019/01/16/call-for-design-site-health-check-project/) ## Communication within Design We also briefly walked through preferred methods of communication in the CoreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. Design team. Often the question comes up about where information should be shared. Should it be put into TracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.[https://core.trac.wordpress.org/](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/)., TrelloTrello Project management system using the concepts of boards and cards to organize tasks in a sane way. This is what the make.wordpress.com/marketing team uses for example: [https://trello.com/b/8UGHVBu8/wp-marketing.](https://trello.com/b/8UGHVBu8/wp-marketing), GithubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged by the repository owner. [https://github.com/](https://github.com/), SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform [https://slack.com/](https://slack.com/). The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at [https://make.wordpress.org/chat/](https://make.wordpress.org/chat/)? The Make WordPress blog? Any of these can work, but in general try to put discussions in a place available to all team members, and reference those back to the Slack channel when possible. That’s what Slack is for, an open communication avenue for anyone to jump in and follow! ## 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) and design Luke Pettway and Meagen Voss have been working hard recently to build a bridge between a11yAccessibility 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)( accessibility team) and design. Tammie shared a few questions with the channel: * How can we continue to build things together? * What steps can we do to bring a11y into our workflow at all stages? * What would people like to learn about a11y to be more enabled? We discussed the need for more understanding of the needs of the a11y team. Luke Pettway volunteered to share a walkthrough (potentially as videos) of ways we can help! ## Accessibility and handbooks Luke Pettway and Meagen Voss have also been looking at updating the handbooks for each team in WordPress to include accessibility information. They could see various accessibility plugins created for the tools the design team uses (Sketch, InVision, and maybe Figma) It’s important to consider a11y early on since some of the biggest problems can arise during the planning stage, before anything is even designed. We also discussed ways that we can continue to communicate and connect more closely so that we’re all working together with a single focus. Luke Pettway also shared a [link to resources](https://github.com/mgifford/a11y-courses), as a starting point for anyone interested in learning more. The a11y team would love to help in anyway that’s needed!
