Looking for feedback
- Feedback – Outdated content in course “Creating a 4-page business website” – https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/3528

- We are planning to host Office Hours on July 26, 2026, but I’ve noticed that not many members are joining the Zoom meetings. Could you please suggest how we can improve these meetings and encourage more members to join and participate actively? – You can share your suggestion here or in this GitHub 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/ issue, please https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/3535
Looking for volunteers
- We need your help in finding all the content that could be updated and consolidated. We would love to have two groups of volunteers – one that will go through all the handbook content, and one that will check the courses. Please state your interest, and we will help you organize and start working on these important issues.
- Also, we started working on creating thumbnails for all lessons that need them. You’re very welcome to join us and contribute to this important and creative project. Here’s the issue with details on how to work on the remaining thumbnails: Create Thumbnails for Learn WordPress Lessons #3428
- We have closed a few issues and still have 525 open issues. It would be great to get support in reviewing and reducing their number. You can help by:
- Going through issues one by one
- Identifying outdated or irrelevant issues
- Suggesting fixes or next steps
- Adding comments where needed (before closing or updating)
- Let’s work together to clean up and keep the repository well-organized. If anyone has QQ, then drop a message here, please

- We successfully wrapped up our Block 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.

Theme Development Course cohort last week, with eight students participating throughout the program. It was a great learning experience, giving participants hands-on exposure to modern WordPress theme development.
- Building on this momentum, we are excited to launch our next cohort focused on Plugin 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. Development next month. We look forward to helping more students expand their WordPress skills and explore new opportunities within the open-source ecosystem.
