DevHub Handbook: Advanced Administration

A MetaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. TracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.https://core.trac.wordpress.org/. ticket is now open for new handbook. Currently, there are developer and end-user docs, but many unsorted docs fall under an “advanced administration” term. Most of the content will be pulled from:

  • HelpHub – Pages that are too technical for end-user docs (see “Technical guides” column in HelpHub sitemap spreadsheet).
  • Codex – Pages that have not been migrated to DevHub/HelpHub because they did not fit into either.
