This session will explore how you and your organisation can provide better WordPresss support by being more conscious of each support staffer’s role as a ‘trainer’ or ‘teacher’ and each user’s role as a ‘learner’.

While support personnel have been traditionally seen as ‘fixers’, and while many contemporary support outfits still focus on this aspect of the experience, WordPress support has always been about more than just matching problems with solutions.

2015 will be remembered in the WordPress community as the year of the JSON REST API. It will be the biggest turning point in the WordPress project since 2010 (when we first saw custom post types). As a result of this, I believe that we’ll see /wp-admin start to disappear in favor of more functional backend interfaces. In this talk we’ll explore the possibilities of a future without /wp-admin

WordPress has thousands of themes and plugins freely available. Not all of them are coded beautifully or tested with big WordPress sites. When a bad piece of code goes live on a WordPress site, it can slow down site and even crash server in some cases.
