WordPress gems for devs: fresh new features you’ll actually want to use (language: EN )

Latest WordPress editions bring some real treats for developers. We’ll take a closer look at the innovative HTML and Interactivity APIs as the most significant game changers in today’s WordPress development, with a splash of WP-CLI magic for fast, more fun development.

There might be a surprise or two.

Prepare for WordCamp Skopje 2024 workshop

Requirements

  1. Latest WordPress installed in local environment.
  2. Twenty Twenty Two theme – because it’s the last theme that uses style.css for actual styles.
  3. NPM and NodeJS – for creating blocks
  4. WP-CLI – not necessary but we’re going to use it for quick scaffolding the plugin.

Preparation

  1. Install the latest WordPress in your local environment (preferably http://wpgems.loc but it can be anything else you want)
  2. Copy content of the db/hello-world.txt and paste it in Hello World post. If your local URL is not http://wpgems.loc, change it to what you chose.
  3. Install (if not present in your install) and activate Twenty Twenty Two theme (you can use any other theme where it’s easy enough to add a snippet of CSS code).
  4. In theme’s style.css add the following code:
a[rel~=nofollow] {
 background-color: red !important;
 color: white !important;
}
  1. Check in Hello World post if the styles are applied (all links but one should be highlighted)
