•OnlineWordPress in 2026. What’s Actually Changed. And What Hasn’t
OnlineThis is a practical, opinionated look at WordPress in 2026 in the context of real WordPress sites.
Every year brings big promises. New editors. New workflows. New panic. Some changes are real. Some are noise. And a lot of the fundamentals underneath WordPress are exactly the same.
In this session, we’ll cut through the headlines and look at what has genuinely changed over the last 12–18 months, what actually matters day to day, and where common advice starts to break down.
No hype. No sales. Just a grounded discussion for people who already work with WordPress and want to think more clearly about what comes next.
### You’ll walk away with
✅ A clearer mental model of how WordPress really works in 2026
✅ What’s worth paying attention to right now, and what you can safely ignore
✅ Real-world trade-offs around blocks, themes, performance, and AI
✅ A few strong opinions you can agree or disagree with
### 🎯 Who’s it for?
WordPress enthusiasts, freelancers, digital managers, and site owners who already work with WordPress and want to go beyond surface-level tutorials.
This session assumes basic WordPress familiarity. It’s not aimed at complete beginners.
### Format
Online session via Zoom.
Chat-first interaction. Cameras and microphones are optional.
Questions and comments can be shared in chat at any time and will be pulled into the discussion.
