Welcome to the official blog for the WordPress Support team.
Need help with a WordPress issue? You can find help with your WordPress problem by posting in the support forums or asking on the #wordpress IRC channel.
Want to get involved?
Answering a question in the support forums or on IRC is one of the easiest ways to get started. Everyone knows the answer to something!
We have a detailed handbook to help contributors learn how to work with the forums and IRC.
Weekly Meetings
As well as discussing support issues here on the blog, we use Slack for group communication.
Our weekly meeting is held fortnightly on Thursday at 20:00 UTC, with agendas published below. The next will be at Thursday, 20:00 UTC(your time zone) in #forums on SlackSlackSlack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/..
The WordPress.orgWordPress.orgThe community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ Support Forums do not allow uploading images, but they do support embedded images from Imgur.
To get started, upload your screenshot to Imgur, then copy the resulting URLURLA specific web address of a website or web page on the Internet, such as a website’s URL www.wordpress.org of what you uploaded.
Enter the URL of what you uploaded to Imgur and hit the blue “Embed” button to add it to your forum post.
Though you cannot upload images to the WordPress.org Support forums with the Image block, you can use it to embed URLs of image files hosted elsewhere, like the Media libary in your own WordPress site. Please keep in mind that your image URL must end with an image file extension (.jpg, .png, or .gif). Please also keep in mind that some servers may prevent us from embedding the image, in which case a link to your screenshot will be displayed instead.
While the WordPress.org Support forums do not allow uploading images, but do allow embedded images from Imgur, there’s no limitation on simply uploading your screenshot elsewhere and providing a link to it in your forum post.
For example, you could use the Media libary in your own WordPress site, Snipboard, Droplr, and more. Just upload your screenshot there, and add its URL to your forum post.
Caution: If you’re uploading your screenshot to a personal online drive, like Google Drive or Dropbox, make sure that you have made the file public, or no one but you will be able to see it!
