WordPress Training Team Seeks Ideas to Attract New Learners

The WordPress Training Team is currently seeking ideas and feedback from the community to prioritize activities that will increase engagement with the newly revamped Learn WordPress platform and attract new learners.  

Automattic-sponsored Kathryn Presner stated, “We want to have a steady flow of new learners discovering the site and taking advantage of the valuable resources it offers.”

She has outlined three types of potential activities that the Training Team is considering –  expanding marketing initiatives, increasing the Training Team’s visibility at WordCamps, and equipping learners and contributors with resources to promote Learn WordPress. 

Community members can go through the list of planned promotional activities, workshops, and events in Kathryn’s post. They can also share feedback and suggest new activities by September 10, 2024. 

Home to high-quality educational resources, Learn WordPress, was launched in 2020 and received a revamp very recently. 

Lately, various WordPress teams have been exploring ways to attract new members to the WP ecosystem. Just last month, the Community Team proposed updating WordCamp budget guidelines to draw in new attendees. 

These initiatives are encouraging especially when there have been talks of the WordPress market stagnating.

    • The author of that post and all three people mentioned as providing input are Automattic employees. It likely isn’t helping to reach new people if decision making for WordPress is often among a group of people that work for one company instead of a more diverse group of people.

      WordPress had a dedicated marketing team, which was more diverse, and then it was shut down. Why not bring it back?
