Last week we had the first large WordPress 'meetup' online called WordSesh. It was an incredible event that was yet another proof for how awesome the WordPress community is.
I had the chance to speak at WordSesh and I presented the WordPress.org Themes Directory and the process of reviewing themes. The video is embedded below + slides here....
I can barely find some time to sleep, but hopefully April would be enlightening for the local group of WordPress peeps. In the next month there are several things planned:
1 (if not two) meetups of the Bulgarian group
Few WordPress sessions as a part of the CMS course in Telerik Academy
WordSesh (available for locals here too)
Zero Marke...
After several attempts I finally laid the foundation for the Bulgarian WordPress Meetup group. For the past 2 years I made several attempts to form a community around WordPress here after WordCamp Sofia and my sessions in Telerik Academy, the New Bulgarian University and the custom WordPress courses for startup enthusiasts.
The second meetu...
Today I finally released the first version of Theme Mentor - a theme review plugin inspired by the almighty Theme-Check. Over the last year I have spent more than 200 hours fixing themes for the WordPress.org repository gone through the Theme-Check tests. There are numerous issues not covered by Theme-Check, easy to miss during your review o...
WordPress 3.5.1 landed about 3 weeks ago, since then I have had several emails, direct messages and contact requests for fixing different site-related issues, such as:
I cannot drag widgets on my Widgets page
My TinyMCE is not displaying on the Posts page
My theme/plugin dialogs are broken
My X functionality (say slider) behaves in ...
It's been a great WordCamp this weekend in Oslo, Norway - WordCamp Oslo 2013. My expectations at first were not extremely promising, mostly due to the fact that Oslo is the most expensive city in the world and the weather is unbearable for most warm country inhabitants, but the event was actually incredible in terms of the program, location...
Next weekend I'm attending WordCamp Oslo 2013, visiting Norway for the second time.
I'll be presenting a JavaScript related session since JS is practically everywhere in web now and the majority of technical people (frontend or backend devs, administrators etc) tend to expect that the language is pretty much straight forward, or already kno...
As a former ThemeForest author and a WPTRT member, I'm intrigued by all the fuzz about parent-child theme relations, theme frameworks, premium themes using the same infrastructure, startup themes and so forth.
I remember my positive impression towards Genesis and their hooks model (even though pretty hardcore for customization in practice) ...
Most large knowledge databases online provide a large amount of articles ending with a small text block: "Was this resource helpful?", which is pretty handy for site owners to decide on most and least valuable posts.
Since WordPress is a CMS heavily focused on blogging and content creation, the new Document Feedback plugin is the solution t...
I've been doing software and web development for many years now, but my design skills are pathetic (and it's an euphemism for them). However, I've tried an amazing tool a few times for color schemes for my WordPress themes that is absolutely amazing - called ColorScheme Designer.
A number of color options are left for the user to pick fr...
