<p>Have you ever worked on a live site, hit the update button, ended up with the “White screen of death” and figured out you don’t have a backup? That’s probably the worst nightmare of every WordPress developer. But how to avoid that? The answer is simple: Using multiple environments. In this presentation, I will point why and how to use multiple environments when it comes to WordPress development.</p>

<p>Speaker: Biplab Subedi</p>
<p>I will be covering the story of my entrepreneurial journey focusing on how WordPress helped me to upgrade from a struggling entrepreneur to a stable agency owner. Furthermore, I will also contemplate why additional management knowledge and skills is a must – and mere technical expertise is, not at all, enough – when it comes to running an Information Technology firm.</p>

<p>Drawing from my experience of project management in 2 of Australia’s biggest WordPress projects I will bring some of the lessons I learned about how to break down your project and how to prioritize the work you’re doing. This applies not only to the work you’re doing for your clients, or if you don’t work alone, for your team, but will also help inform decisions you make about where to put your efforts in projects outside of work as well. It’s a dive into the concepts of working selflessly, a kind of ethos that guides the WordPress project in its open source ideals. It can totally change your relationships with your clients and can make what you offer irresistible in the marketplace as people come to realize your focus is on THEIR success more than your own.</p>

<p>In these days, above of 50% of active WordPress sites are running translated site and some of the users (including a lot of my friends in Japan) have never tried themes/plugins
<br>which haven’t localized in their language even though they are popular in the English world. It might be difficult for developers to learn every unique case, but you can collaborate with WordPress translator communities which are keeping growing and knows deeply about WordPress.</p>
<p>In this session, I will show you what we need you to start your project in localization and common issues around it.</p>

<p>What does disaster look like to a WordPress plugin developer? It’s never fun to find out the hard way. This talk will be in the form of a few short stories about one disaster my company (BlogVault) faced recently: a major plugin vulnerability. I’ll be telling you what we did when more than 1000 of our customers got hacked overnight through our plugin… and how we recovered. Although this was one of the most harrowing experiences in the history of the company, it taught us quite a few lessons:</p>
<p>Act fast
<br>Minimize damage, fix the root cause. Communicate, communicate, communicate
<br>Be honest & clear with your team, partners, and customers about your next steps. Be prepared for curveballs
<br>Not everything can be planned. Forgive delays and mistakes. Fix everything
<br>You don’t know what’s broken (for sure). Reinforce it all. What happened when?
<br>Stressful times call for simple measures. Note down what happened (and when). It’ll help with communications. Eliminate doubt.
<br>Our internal tool helped us identify signs of malware from 200,000 sites, but we also needed reaffirmation. What not to do when you face such a disaster: Panic
<br>This only makes everything worse. Shy away from the truth
<br>Whether your customers or partners leave isn’t up to you. Your company’s integrity is. Focus inwards only
<br>Your business is about your customers, who are having a tough time. Help them first. The Ultimate Takeaway: Reach out to the community. Lots of people have been in the same situation.</p>
