Team Projects and Initiatives

This year, @Zunaid Amin (@zunaid321) and @jessibelle (@jessibelle) will be leading the Contributor Day Hosting table in person, and amykamala (@amykamala) remotely.

The team will be working on:

  • WordPress Distributed Hosting Test Software Improvements
  • Hosting Handbook Updates
  • Advanced Administration Handbook Updates

WordPress Distributed Hosting Test Software Improvements

The Hosting Team maintains a PHPunit Test Runner and Reporter software that enables Web Hosts to test unreleased WordPress software updates on hosting platforms and report any conflicts, errors or issues that may need to be addressed. Many Hosts participate (thank you!) and Host Test Results are shared here.

The goal for this on Contributor Day is to make progress on testing software development; snag tickets, dig in on tooling improvements, and push, open, review, test and merge pull requests. The tickets available to work on can be found here:

Don’t code? Don’t worry! There are opportunities for everyone!

Handbook Updates

The Hosting Team maintains two handbooks: the WordPress Hosting Handbook and the Advanced Administration Handbook. Tickets to work on the handbooks are available here:

Anyone that speaks basic English can contribute to the Handbooks!

Workflow Protocols

To work on open tickets

1) Fork the repositories you wish to work on

2) Assign the issue to yourself in GitHub, and

3) Name your branch with the issue number, your name, and a ‘WCUS25’ prefix.

For example, if I want to work on Hosting Handbook issue #293, I’ll first hit the ‘assign yourself’ button on the upper right of the issue, make a new fork of the repo or sync my existing fork, git clone onto my local dev environment or git pull into main if there was anything to sync, and checkout a new branch from main with the name ‘WCUS25-293-amykamala’.

Learn how to install Git here, and some basic Git commands to get started!

Reviews

Once you’ve pushed your changes and opened a new pull request, tag some reviewers on the upper right of the PR. If you don’t know who to tag, feel free to tag @zunaid, @Jessfrick, @kittenkamala, @crixu, or @Chaion07.

If you’re reviewing work yourself, make sure you’re added as a reviewer on the upper right of the ticket, and comment on the PR with any feedback and a mention of WCUS CD 2025.

Testing and Merges

All PRs must have 2 approvals and be fully up to date with the base branch in order to be merged. Pay attention to the comments on your PRs in case follow up is needed!

Changes to the testing software must be tested on a hosting platform prior to being merged. If you’re doing testing make sure to comment on the PR with your findings, the hosting platform/specs, and don’t forget to mention in the comment that you tested during WCUS CD 2025.

See You There!

Contributor Days are always fun and inspiring, and it’s rewarding to build momentum on WordPress incentives as a community. The Hosting Team is happy to welcome contributors both new and experienced to collaborate and add value in your own unique ways, while helping move Hosting Team projects forward!

Please join us at WCUS 2025 Contributor Day On August 26th, 2025 to make WordPress hosting even better!

Can’t wait to see you there!

Thank you to @zunaid321 and @jessibelle for reviewing this post!

WCEU 2025: Recap for the Hosting Table

Thanks again to everyone who made their way to Basel and joined us at the HostingHosting A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible via the World Wide Web. Table. This post offers a summary of what we accomplished during our time together.

Roundtable Discussion

We started with a roundtable focused on encouraging more hosting companies to run the hosting test suite. With the number of active hosts reporting steadily decreasing, the conversation felt both urgent and valuable. The group included experienced contributors and first-time participants, which sparked a rich exchange of ideas.

Two main priorities surfaced:

  1. Showing clear value to hosting providers
  2. Reducing the friction caused by NodeJS requirements, since many hosts focus mainly on PHPPHP PHP (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a general-purpose scripting language especially suited to web development. PHP code is usually processed on a web server by a PHP interpreter. On a web server, the result of the interpreted and executed PHP code would form the whole or part of an HTTP response.

Making the Benefits Clear

Everyone agreed that contributing to the WordPress ecosystem has value. Still, we recognized the need to better communicate the practical benefits for hosts. One idea was to increase visibility for participating providers. If you have ideas to build on this, we welcome them.

Tackling the NodeJS Challenge

We spent time understanding the barriers caused by NodeJS and discussed how the build process could be made more accessible. The group looked at how NodeJS is used today and brainstormed ways to simplify or eliminate that dependency.

Improving the Hosting Test Suite

After the discussion, we got to work on areas we believed could have the biggest impact.

Clarifying the Role of NodeJS

We reviewed the test suite code to understand how NodeJS fits into the current setup. The next step will be to clearly document this dependency so contributors and hosts know what is required and where we might streamline it.

Exploring Practical Solutions

Prebuilt Artifacts

We discussed the option of sharing prebuilt artifacts through a central location. This would allow hosts to skip local builds entirely and work with a shared version of the test suite. It would make testing more consistent and easier to adopt.

Another option involved using GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can 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 be the repository owner. Actions to handle the NodeJS tasks remotely, while letting hosts run the PHP unit tests locally. A proof of concept for this is available here: PHPUnit Test Runner PR #245

Nightly Builds

We also explored using nightly builds. This could simplify things by reducing the need for constant local builds, while still covering the majority of testing needs. We discussed two approaches: relying entirely on nightly builds or using static files from those builds and applying only the coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Team builds WordPress. changes. Even if tests are not based on the very latest commit, we believe this method would be effective.

A PR is in progress to support this idea: PHPUnit Test Runner PR #246

Pull Requests from the Day

In addition to the work on the test suite, several contributions were made across WordPress repositories:

WordCamp Asia 2025 Contributor Day: Summary

WordCamp Asia 2025 Contributor Day took place on 20th February 2025 at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) in Manila, Philippines. It was a fantastic day of collaboration, learning, and contributions to the WordPress ecosystem!

At the HostingHosting A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible via the World Wide Web. Table, @wesrapyd and @zunaid321 led the discussions and hands-on work alongside a dedicated group of contributors. Here’s what we focused on:

  • WordPress 6.8 Hosting Team Recommendation Document – Reviewed and updated recommendations to help hosting providers prepare for the next WordPress release.
  • Onboarding New Contributors – Introduced newcomers to the Hosting Team, guiding them on how to contribute effectively.
  • Hosting Test Results Page – Explored ways to improve and add new features for better data insights.
  • Test Runner Enhancements – Worked on refining and expanding the Hosting Test Runner for more accurate testing.

New Ideas & Discussions

  • Presenting Hosting Test Results by Technology Stack
    @mtraian suggested an alternative way to present test results—not just by hosting provider, but also by technology stack. This would be especially useful for companies or governmental organizations that own their hosting infrastructure and want to ensure their setup is fully WordPress-compatible. This idea was well received, and we discussed potential ways to implement it in future updates.
  • Direct Hosting Provider & Customer Interactions
    A unique moment at the Hosting Table occurred when a customer of a hosting company joined to report an issue regarding their site migrationMigration Moving the code, database and media files for a website site from one server to another. Most typically done when changing hosting companies.. Fortunately, a representative from that hosting company was also present, allowing the customer to communicate their concerns directly. The issue was well received, and the hosting rep committed to following up with the client for further resolution.This led to an exciting discussion about making the Hosting Table a space for customers of different hosting companies to report issues or provide feedback directly during Contributor DayContributor Day Contributor Days are standalone days, frequently held before or after WordCamps but they can also happen at any time.

It could be an opportunity for real-time discussions between hosting providers and users, helping to improve WordPress hosting experiences.
