Several ​HTML5 sectioning elements automatically create ​ARIA landmark regions.

Landmark regions are exposed to assistive technologies and allow users to quickly find information in a page. Ideally, all content in a web page should be wrapped within landmark regions. For now, I'd like to propose to focus on the navigation menu.

In this specific case it's important to know that <nav> elements are mapped to an ARIA role=navigation. Therefore, <nav> elements are perceived by screen readers and users can jump to them using dedicated keyboard shortcuts.

In the wp.org network, some sections don't use <nav> elements at all. For example, the home page (screenshot from Safari and VoiceOver):

Other sections do use navigation landmarks but not for the main menu. For example, the Themes section has two of them:

Same in the Plugin section sub-pages:

For clarity, these are respectively:

• a <nav> element with a role="navigation": it was common practice to repeat the role even if redundant, to support old browsers assistive technologies
• a <div> element with a role="navigation", which is equivalent to a <nav>

Besides technical details, the most important navigation (the main one) doesn't use a navigation landmark. Wrapping the main menu in a <nav> element would be a good, simple, improvement.

Note: when in a page there are multiple landmarks of the same type, it's important to use an aria-label to help users to distinguish them. This is also what WordPress core and the bundled themes do.

Suggested:

• wrap the existing main menu markup in a <nav aria-label="Main menu">
• where present, add to the secondary navigation an aria-label="Secondary menu" (or any better wording)
• the toolbar already uses an aria-label="Toolbar", no need for any change

Optionally:

• modernize the markup: remove role="navigation" and just use a <nav> element

Note about the wording: When screen readers encounter a <nav> element or a role="navigation", they already announce "navigation": it's recommended to not use this word in the aria-label because it would be announced twice.

If you use the search bar on ​https://wordpress.org/support, you will see that it neither includes HelpHub articles nor excludes Codex ones.

I feel that we should well be

1. including HelpHub in it and
2. adding a tab for specific search
3. removing Codex indexing

Also, search bar should say "Search documentation and forums" or something along those lines and not just forums?

Releated discussion in Slack ​https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RP4WU5/p1543850975111100

When a user wraps text in their forum posts with "<li>" tags - The layout of the page breaks.

For an example of this see - ​http://wordpress.org/support/topic/please-ignore-just-testing-something?replies=1#post-4430248

The RSS feeds generated by the new Plugin Directory platform have a number of drawbacks/defects compared to the feeds that were generated by the old platform.

1. When a new reply is posted to a topic:

• The "forum-level" feed (e.g. ​https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/media-library-assistant/feed) generates a copy of the initial post for the topic, with the initial date/time and author. This is almost useless; you have to go back to the forum to access the text of the update and see who posted it.

• The "topic-level" feed (e.g. ​https://wordpress.org/support/topic/importing-photoshop-iptc-data-into-wordpress/feed ) generates an update with the correct text, date/time and author.

• The email message generated for "subscribers" to the topic also has the correct information, but the message comes as plain-text so markup for code blocks, lists, etc. is lost.

2. When the original post in a topic was modified, the feed generates and ongoing stream of "updates" identical to the original except for the "This topic was modified 2 weeks, 6 days ago by ..." text. This makes it hard to identify topics with genuine updates.

3. When updates are posted to old topics (e.g. started 8 months ago), no RSS feed update is generated. It is hard to know when new activity occurs in an old topic.

Minor notes:

1. The subject line no longer includes the plugin name, which makes it harder to organize an archive by plugin.

2. The subject line no longer includes the post author, which would be fine if the actual author value was set correctly.

3. The subject line now identifies "[Resolved]" topics, but not any other status value.

In short, RSS updates should contain:

• The actual text of the update, with HTML markup
• The actual date/time of the update
• The actual author of the update
• A subject line that includes the plugin name and perhaps the current status in addition to the topic title.

When subscribed to a Make blog, the email sent when a post is published has a link called "See all comments", and it has a fragment ID of #comments. But there is no ID in the post named comments, so the link just takes you to the top of the post. The other link, for commenting, is to #respond, which does exist and works fine.

Here is an example from the email ​https://make.wordpress.org/core/2019/04/25/site-health-check-in-5-2/#comments

Plugin pages, like ​https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/, often contain FAQ content.

When this is the case, we should output FAQ schema markup, with an aim to encourage Google to show FAQ questions+answers in the search results (therefore achieving extra visibility and clickthrough-rates).

Approach

• Add an additional node to the existing schema markup on plugin pages, for "@type": "FAQPage".

• Add a mainEntity property to house the questions.
  • Loop through each question/answer, and construct a Question node with an acceptedAnswer property.

Example output

{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "FAQPage",
  "mainEntity": [{
    "@type": "Question",
    "name": "What does the plugin do to help speed up my site?",
    "acceptedAnswer": {
      "@type": "Answer",
      "text": "It concatenates all scripts and styles, minifies and compresses them, adds expires headers, caches them, and moves styles to the page head, and scripts (optionally) to the footer. It also minifies the HTML code itself, making your page really lightweight."
    }
  }, {
    "@type": "Question",
    "name": "But I’m on HTTP/2, so I don’t need Autoptimize?",
    "acceptedAnswer": {
      "@type": "Answer",
      "text": "HTTP/2 is a great step forward for sure, reducing the impact of multiple requests from the same server significantly by using the same connection to perform several concurrent requests. That being said, <a href="http://engineering.khanacademy.org/posts/js-packaging-http2.htm">concatenation of CSS/ JS can still make a lot of sense</a>, as described in <a href="https://css-tricks.com/http2-real-world-performance-test-analysis/">this css-tricks.com article</a> and this <a href="http://calendar.perfplanet.com/2015/packaging-for-performance/">blogpost from one of the Ebay engineers</a>. The conclusion; configure, test, reconfigure, retest, tweak and look what works best in your context. Maybe it’s just HTTP/2, maybe it’s HTTP/2 + aggregation and minification, maybe it’s HTTP/2 + minification (which AO can do as well, simply untick the “aggregate JS-files” and/ or “aggregate CSS-files” options). And Autoptimize can do a lot more then “just” optimizing your JS &amp; CSS off course 😉"
    }
  }, {
    "@type": "Question",
    "name": "Will this work with my blog?",
    "acceptedAnswer": {
      "@type": "Answer",
      "text": "Although Autoptimize comes without any warranties, it will in general work flawlessly if you configure it correctly. See “Troubleshooting” below for info on how to configure in case of problems."
    }
  },
  {...}
  ]
}

Sanitization concerns

All HTML tags should be stripped from fields, with the exception of the text property of an acceptedAnswer, which should:

• Accept <a>, <strong> and <em> tags.
• Disallow/remove any values/properties/attributes of these tags (other than the href attribute on <a> tags).
• Remove invalid markup (e.g., an <a> without a closing </a>).

There has been discussion regarding having users of older versions of WP be able to update to the best version of WP core that their server configuration can run. This seems to be primarily limited by the PHP version. Please refer to ​#WP47797 for background.

Currently, if a user is running a version of PHP < 5.6.20 they can only install up to WP 5.1.x. However, the Update Now button will try to install the most current version of WP core, WP 5.2.2 at this moment. Unfortunately that results in a failure and there is no easy method of being able to upgrade to a best version.

Part of the discussion, especially in Slack, was that in lieu of needing to backport the patch in ​#WP47797 it would be more robust to modify the API to return a similar response.

A best version would correspond to the the most current version of WP that is capable of running/installing given the user's current server constraints.

The patch for ​#WP47797 works by taking the API response for something like, ​https://api.wordpress.org/core/version-check/1.7/?php=5.3 and changes the { "response": "upgrade" } to the offer that has the highest version that is less than or equal to the ?php=5.x query arg.

There are 3 obvious benefits.

1. Users will be able to update to a more secure version of WP, in this case WP 5.1.x, with one click.
2. WP 5.1.x includes the dashboard callout for updating to a more current version of PHP.
3. This would reach every version of WP > 3.7 without the need for backporting.

Russian Team would like to be part of HelpHub & Handbooks Localisation. Can we please have the HelpHub plugin activated on our website?

Thanks in advance.

Profile badges don't seem to automatically appear for all areas.

Hello,

While I was working on these tickets: #2100 and #2907

I've noticed that my error log was getting grumpy and I saw this error:

[22-Jul-2017 11:26:20 UTC] PHP Notice: Undefined index: consumer_key in tggr-source-twitter.php on line 152

For some reason when you view the results page on the front end the twitter module bugs out randomly ( not all times ) and after that php error all the settings are getting reset so you are losing all login information etc.

I haven't been able to find out why.

@dipeshkakadiya is on it for a solution so we can implement it on gwtd3 new website as well.

Pointers for devs: Grab the /trunk of Tagregator through svn, apply the extra patches to have the latest as they have not been implemented yet and then work on this ticket.

When toggling a status in the Flag section, the toggle afterwards is missing the capitalisation, this is because it just sets the label afterwards to the command, rather than the textual label for it.

The attached patch adds internationalised Enable/Disable text which it switches in/out instead of using the command. It's hard-coded inline with the JS, as that's the format of the current JS and changing it up further probably deserves a rethink of the entire flagging UI and storage.

For the new CampSite theme we had the idea to include a speakers bio page with an improved sessions list not only showing the session title, but also an excerpt as well as links to the slides and WordPress.tv video. We decided against a page template and rather add this additional markup to the post types plugin.

Individual news articles (like ​https://wordpress.org/news/2019/01/wordpress-5-0-3-maintenance-release/) correctly use canonical URL tags.

However, archives / the homepage / categories do not.

E.g., ​https://wordpress.org/news/, ​https://wordpress.org/news/page/2/, ​https://wordpress.org/news/category/testing/ should all have/use canonical URL tags.

If a ticket on bbPress or Meta Trac is closed with a particular resolution the resolution cannot be changed without reopening the ticket:

eg: bbPress Trac (Meta is identical):

BuddyPress and Core Tracs can change resolution withot reopening the ticket:

Taking a punt that the following code needs to be added to bbPress and Meta Trac "workflow-*.ini" files. I know bbPress and BuddyPress "workflow-*.ini" files are yet to be open sourced, presuming the same for meta:

Via: https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/trac.wordpress.org/conf/workflow-core.ini#L64

# Once the ticket is closed
# - reopen
# - change the resolution to something else
...
...

change_resolution = closed -> closed
change_resolution.name = change the resolution, set
change_resolution.operations = set_resolution
change_resolution.permissions = TICKET_EDIT_DESCRIPTION
change_resolution.default = -31

Aside: It wouldn't hurt to add the "mark as duplicate" section also ;)

E.g.,

​http://pingomatic.com/ should redirect to ​https://pingomatic.com/ ​http://pingomatic.com/stats/?cat=dog should redirect to ​https://pingomatic.com/stats/?cat=dog

Hello,

With ui-feedback/ux-feedback now merged as needs-design-feedback it's report name should be updated from Tickets requesting UI or UX feedback to Tickets requesting design feedback.

The link for the page goes here - ​https://core.trac.wordpress.org/tickets/ux-feedback *Am wondering if the URL should also change.

I couldn't find the string in the meta repo but am happy to write a patch if someone can poitn me in the right direction.

Thanks

We need an admin-only tool that will allow us to mass-email plugins.

One exists but currently can only be run by a server admin, which limits usability.

1) Provide a list of plugins

2) Provide an email subject and body with basic substitutions

3) The tool would then email everyone with commit access and listed owner the message

Substitutions needed:

%USER_EMAIL% %USER_DISPLAY_NAME% %PLUGIN_URL%

With Helpscout you can pre-fill everything BUT the body: ​https://docs.helpscout.com/article/119-pre-fill

So it doesn't look like we can use that for our bulk-mail tool.

If it's secure and has the capability to be given a usable UX, whatever tool is used on the back-end should be fine.

Limiting the number of plugins mailed at a time is also fine. Handling more than 50 of those at a stretch is usually pretty annoying anyway :)

This consumes huge amounts of crawl budget, for relatively little return. We'd like to block crawling of it entirely, via robots.txt.

At the moment, it shares a robots.txt with other wordpress.org domains, which makes this impossible.

Can we give it a dedicated robots.txt file, which is separate from other sites, with the following contents:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /*
Noindex: /*
Allow: /$

NB: We'll need to be absolutely certain that this is a standalone file, and doesn't bleed through to any other WP domains/contexts, or we'll cause the end of the world.

If/when this is complete, the ?filter rule can be removed from the shared/global robots.txt file.

There are a couple problems with our current data set. They're not strictly related to each other, but I'm creating a single ticket for this because I'm guessing that the solution to both will be the same: switch from our current data source to a better one.

• Problem #1: Incorrect IPv4 results. No data source will be perfect, but [several online database had correct results for instances where ours weren't ​https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/04/14/nearby-wordpress-events/#comment-32448].
• Problem #2: No IPv6 support. Without this, the results will quickly lose effectiveness. As of May 2017, ​IPv6 adoption is at 18% globally and rising relatively fast. Some countries are as high as 32%.

It looks like our database was updated recently (March 2017), but I can't find any info on where the original data comes from. @dd32, @tellyworth, do either of you know? Do you have any thoughts on other potential sources?

While we were building the new bbPress theme we discovered that the WordPress theme live on ​https://wordpress.org/news/ would've been the best starting point. We now had to hack together stuff from various places.

Wouldn't it make sense to open-source that theme used at /news/ as well?

The following legacy pages should be deleted, and 301'd to a sensible location. May also need removing from nav, if this isn't automatic. Likely going to need to do a few passes of these for ones I miss in the initial sweep... Might also be some duplicates.

This template should have a meta robots value of 'noindex, follow'.

The per_page argument for the Plugins API query_plugins action seems to return the wrong number of results in some cases.

So, if you limit the per_page to 20, you only get 19 items back event though that there are more than 20 results available.

We are hitting this issue with the WP-CLI plugin search command, which shows the exact count of elements returned. See ​https://github.com/wp-cli/extension-command/issues/156 for the related issue.

Currently Stats_Report (plugins/plugin-directory/tools/class-stats-report.php) checks SupportPress

We've moved so we'll need to update those checks to use (I think) the API for HelpScout

On some locales (like Catalan), most of the translations are done by 3-4 people (with 2 of them being GTE), even if according to ​https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/ca there are 10 GTE, and almost a 100 contributors.

This is a problem not only because it simply doesn't scale (with the amount of strings that themes & plugins have, 3-4 people are not enough), but also because is extremely hard for GTEs to identify "active" contributors to help and guide them so they become one day GTE, and for contributors to find active GTE so their strings get approved and don't stay forever as pending.

Ideally, there should be a way of "filtering" the teams page (​https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/?locale=ca) with some kind of "active" filter, with active being a rule such as "has translated/reviewed more than X strings (could be 0) in the last 3-4 months".

That could help to really asses the health of a team, as you could quickly identify how many people is actively contributing to the project.

Also, if that filter included some kind of aggregated cross-project stats (similar to the ones you get "per-project" in translate.wp.org), pointing to the projects they contributed, it would be easier to "measure" the amount of contributions people is doing: I, as a GTE, am more in validating strings translated by someone who contributes regularly than strings from someone who only translated 1 string two months ago. Computing such a huge amount of stats won't be light in terms of resources, but in order to be useful, these stats don't need to be "live": a weekly update would be more than enough to get a sense of the current state.

This would also give extra visibility to the health of the team, on top of the "activeness" filter: knowing there are 100 people active when 99 of them only have translated one string isn't a sign of healthy at all.

Quite often we're sharing code snippets to help our users when providing support. I would love to see the support forums support syntax highlighting. In it's current implementation it's not incredibly helpful to the end user.

Here's an example: ​https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reorder-posts-in-collection?replies=4

Since people are getting more and more used to slack and markdown and the three backticks for code blocks, we should consider supporting that in bbPress
