Latest meetup summary ever. 😉
The following items were discussed at the October 29th meetup.
WordPress 4.4-beta2, A/B forums and break stuff
WordPress 4.4-beta2 is out. Please test and otherwise abuse.
As before, when a topic in the alpha/beta sub-forum is posted and a trac ticket is raised please resolve that topic with a link to the ticket. Do not close the topic, just mark it resolved.
Should the support meetup use the @ here option in Slack?
And the answer is: No.
It wasn’t even close, no one thinks it’s worthwhile in the #forums channel. Using it would needlessly ping people who are members but remain silent. We want to encourage people to participate and (in this channel at least) using @ here would just be a weekly PING.
Pages help text in IRC
Lindsay suggestion of updating the IRC bot to clarify .pages output similar to this.
To clarify the term “Pages: WordPress pages are those are made in the dashboard under add new page. Site Pages are those exist on the front end of your site but have no page in the admin such as archive pages, the 404, etc.
This is to make “Pages” less ambigous. There was a lot of discussion and the topic was shelved for a pull request with alternative wording.
