Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

CMS Conf Takes You Outside the WordPress Bubble
Q: Why should WordPress folks care about other CMSs and what can they take away?
WordPress can learn from the strengths of alternatives—like built-in features in Statamic or streamlined content modeling in Astro—and bring back ideas that improve plugin ecosystems, collaboration, and long-term sustainability.
CMS Conf Takes You Outside the WordPress Bubble
Q: CMSConf is about bringing multiple CMS communities together. What does that look like in practice?
It means combining talks from WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, and newer systems, including hands-on workshops and discussions about common challenges, so attendees can learn from each other beyond any single platform.
Why WordPress 7.1 Will Improve Your Workflow
Q: How does WordPress approach deprecations like the classic block in 7.1?
The decision to deprecate rather than remove was driven by usage statistics and a focus on backward compatibility, with consideration given to providing better pathways and bridges for users still relying on older blocks and workflows.
Why WordPress 7.1 Will Improve Your Workflow
Q: Why did some features like collaborative editing not hit the 7.1 release, and what is the plan going forward?
Collaborative editing progressed with real-world testing and architecture discussions; the team opted to defer this release to ensure a solid, scalable experience and to provide primitives that hosts and plugins can assemble for their own transport layers.
Why WordPress 7.1 Will Improve Your Workflow
Q: What are the biggest new features in 7.1 that users will notice in everyday editing?
Users will notice improvements in responsive styling, the Omnibar for navigation, more powerful media handling, and new blocks that make layout and styling more intuitive across devices.
