Recent Updates and Achievements

Announcement

Weโ€™re considering issuing certificates specifically for course cohort students. Unlike automated course completion certificatesโ€”which can sometimes be misusedโ€”cohorts are different. In a cohort, students must actively participate in regular classes, complete assessments, and pass an exam before earning a certificate.

Step-by-Step Guide to Building Campus Connect and WordCamp Event Websites

In recent years, WordPress has launched several educational initiatives aimed at supporting students, educators, and new contributors around the world. These programs help introduce WordPress not only as a website-building tool but also as a platform for learning open-source collaboration and community participation.

Some of the most notable initiatives include WP Campus Connect, WP Credits, and Student Clubs. These programs are designed to connect universities and educational institutions with the global WordPress community. Through workshops, mentorship, and real-world projects, students can learn practical skills while contributing to the open-source ecosystem.

Across many universities and colleges, community members and organizers are hosting events such as Campus Connect workshops, sessions and student clubs. These events help students and beginners learn how to use WordPress, understand open-source contribution, and explore opportunities in the WordPress ecosystem.

Event Websites for WordPress Community Programs

For every official community event, WordPress provides a dedicated event website where organizers can share all the necessary information. These sites typically include:

  • Event details and schedules
  • Speaker information
  • Registration links
  • Venue or online meeting details
  • Announcements and updates

These event websites are built using the WordPress BlockBlock 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. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience. Editor, which is the default content editor in WordPress. The Block Editor allows organizers to visually create pages using blocks such as headings, images, columns, buttons, and more.

While the Block Editor is powerful and flexible, many new users find it challenging at first. Some organizers struggle with:

  • Understanding how blocks work
  • Structuring to develop event pages effectively
  • Managing layouts for schedules, speakers, and content
  • Designing a complete event website using blocks

Because of this learning curve, many event organizers feel unsure about how to build their event sites quickly and efficiently.

Learn WordPress Workshops to Help Organizers

To address this challenge, several workshops have been organized through Learn WordPress. These workshops are specifically designed to help Campus Connect and WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what theyโ€™ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. organizers learn how to build their event websites using the Block Editor.

During these sessions, participants learn practical steps such as:

  • Creating essential event pages
  • Using block patterns and layouts
  • Building schedules and speaker sections
  • Customizing the design using blocks
  • Publishing a complete event website without writing code

The goal of these workshops is to make it easier for organizers to launch their event websites quickly and confidently.

Through hands-on demonstrations, participants can follow along and learn how WordPress blocks work in real scenarios. This approach helps organizers save time and reduces the frustration that sometimes comes with learning a new editing system.

Workshop Recordings and Learning Resources

If you couldnโ€™t attend the live workshops, donโ€™t worry. The sessions were recorded and are available as learning resources, allowing anyone to watch them later and follow the steps at their own pace.

Workshop 1: Learning the Basics of Block Editor

Workshop 2: Creating a WordPress Event Website

Workshop 3: Designing Organisers Pages with Blocks

Workshop 4: Event Ticket Registration Process

Looking for feedback

  • BlockBlock 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. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience. Theme Development Course Cohort Learning Pathway Development โ€“ Weโ€™re planning a cohort-based learning program focused on Block Theme Development, and before turning it into a full course, we want to build the learning pathway together with the community. Letโ€™s do this together โ€“ https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/3381
  • Weโ€™re noticing a shortage of content creators in the Training Team. How can we encourage more dedicated content creators to join? Please share your ideas. It would be invaluable to have local content creators who can translate existing English content into their local languages.
  • Team Repo is organizing workshops from the Training Team and would love your input. Which topics would be most valuable or relevant for you right now? Feel free to share any areas youโ€™d like to learn more about, so we can design workshops that truly meet your needs. I love to help if anyone is interested in hosting a workshop, even in their local language. Then, thatโ€™s great.
  • Rico has created a new P2P2 P2 or O2 is the term people use to refer to the Make WordPress blog. It can be found at https://make.wordpress.org post proposing weekly office hours. Any suggestions, feedback, or additional ideas are appreciated. https://make.wordpress.org/training/2026/02/03/proposal-monthly-office-hour-meeting-for-make-wordpress-training/
