Last September, the WordPress Advanced Administration Handbook start it path and after some Contributor Days and a lot of work from the Docs and Hosting Teams, and plenty of contributors, we have some clarity for this 2023.
What
This new documentation is proposed as advanced regarding what currently exists for end users (UserHub / Support), with the goal that the documentation for users is free of advanced technical material, and that the documentation for developers (DevHub) is very differentiated between what is development, and what are advanced development or system configurations.
How
Although we have some pages documented, if you know of other WordPress content that could be in this Handbook, please open an issue and discuss it with the Documentation team. Please consider using the label “advanced administration”.
If you want to help launch the Handbook as soon as possible, please take an issue and work on it. You can comment on the site itself if you have any questions, suggestions, or improvements.
