Every so often, I like to pause the usual updates flow and re-introduce the newcomers of The WP World to some parts of the site that you may not have bumped into yet...

🏆 Did you know? The WP World has achievements for community milestones, contributions, and fun little “I was there” moments across the WordPress ecosystem. Like .org badges, but for very different accomplishments.

🗺️ Did you know? Event pages include more than dates and locations. I’ve been adding side events, nearby spots, sponsor details, recap links, Wapuu art, schedules, and practical context to many of them so they feel more like community travel guides than calendar entries. (Plus, there's a WordCamp Toolkit for first-timers!)

👥 Did you know? Presser profiles help connect the people behind WordPress across events, businesses, contributions, and community work. A lot of the details are populated for you, but if yours is incomplete, it’s absolutely worth giving it a quick refresh.

🗳️ Did you know? The Recommended Hosting page is community-voted, so Pressers can help surface the WordPress hosts they actually trust instead of just the ones with the loudest affiliate banners.

💬 Did you know? TWPW Messenger is a real-time multilingual chat tool built to help WordPress people connect across languages without making every conversation feel like homework.

🧩 Did you know? You can browse WordPress releases and contributors to see which people helped make each version happen, from recent releases back through WordPress history.

As always, check out below for this week's updates ⬇️

New Features and Updates

Here’s what’s worth a closer look this week... 👇

📝 New on the blog: I published A Small Call for Sponsors Who Care About the WordPress Community, with a more transparent look at what The WP World sponsorship supports and why you should grab one of a few limited spots.

🇵🇱 WordCamp Europe recap: I also shared WordCamp Europe 2026 Recap: Kraków Showed WordPress Still Knows How to Gather, covering the official numbers, Contributor Day energy, the CERN keynote, AI conversations, Kraków flavor, and why WCEU still feels like a community reunion with better lanyards.

🔗 More WCEU recaps to explore: The recap collection now points readers toward the official WordPress.org recap, WPPoland’s event recap, the WordPress.com recap, and the official photos and videos page.

❤️ Thank you, sponsors: A big thank you to Search & Filter and Built for Service for renewing as The WP World site sponsors for another year. Community projects only keep improving when good people and good companies choose to support them.
