In order to view a member&#8217;s profile, a list of user groups, an activity stream, your friends, the active WordPress theme needs to have the proper templates to output those things. If the templates don&#8217;t exist, the page won&#8217;t display. Pretty simple, right?</p>
<h4>Wrong.</h4>
<p>There are two fundamental problems with this approach:</p>
<ol>
<li>Bolting BuddyPress into an existing theme is really difficult. It&#8217;s a rabbit hole of modifications just to get things usable, and another hole to make it actually look pretty and cohesive with the existing theme&#8217;s styling and layout.</li>
<li>When the BuddyPress development team wants to update the Default Theme, we do so at the risk of breaking backwards compatibility with existing themes that expect for it to work a specific way.</li>
<ol>
<li>Third-party BuddyPress plugin authors feel this pain even more-so, as they&#8217;re dependent on parent themes, child themes, and their own functionality all aligning correctly.</li>
</ol>
</ol>
<p>The first problem is the most common, and also the most frustrating to most new users. <em>&#8220;I already have the site I want, but I want this feature that BuddyPress can provide. How do I make them work together?&#8221;</em> The answer to this question isn&#8217;t simple, and it&#8217;s a huge detriment to the new experience of setting up BuddyPress to have to lurk around the HTML and template files, and butcher your pretty theme to make things fit.</p>
<p>The second problem is more common to developers and designers, and also prevents the BuddyPress development team from exploring any amazing new ideas with the project at its core. When we want to build something new, or improve an existing feature that&#8217;s falling a bit behind the times, existing templates can&#8217;t evolve to match the functionality because it&#8217;s going to potentially break existing installations.</p>
<h4>There&#8217;s a solution, and we think it&#8217;s pretty awesome.</h4>
<p>In an undetermined future version of BuddyPress, we&#8217;re going to start bundling template parts along with features. These template parts are intended to be the canonical set of skeletal styling that BuddyPress provides out of the box. It has the benefit of being a turn-key installation for everyone, and allows us to push out updates more quickly and evolve the platform without worrying about how themes that are outside of our control might break. These templates will work with *any* existing standard WordPress theme without any modifications.</p>
<h4>Sounds neat, eh?</h4>
<p>Surprise! <a href="http://bbpress.org">bbPress</a> already works this way, and it&#8217;s not far off for BuddyPress to inherit this new functionality, too. The purpose of this particular post and announcement is really two-fold:</p>
<ol>
<li>We know that this is an issue for our users, and we don&#8217;t like being stuck in this rut either.</li>
<li>We want to get the word out early about the change so anyone that needs to adapt has ample time to do so.</li>
</ol>
<h4>What does this really mean for me?</h4>
<p>Very little, actually. <img src="http://buddypress.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" />  If you&#8217;re using a derivative or a child theme of &#8220;bp-default&#8221; it will continue to work as it always has. If you&#8217;d rather check out what the bundled and white labeled styling looks like, you&#8217;ll be able to switch back and forth between the two seamlessly. The Default BuddyPress theme has had a good run, and we&#8217;re going to continue to include it and support it for the foreseeable future. What we want to do is shift our dependency from a theme we&#8217;re afraid to change, towards a set of templates that we love to improve.</p>

<h3>WordPress 3.4 Beta 3 also available</h3>
<p>Our development of WordPress 3.4 development continues. Today we are proud to release Beta 3 for testing. <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/log/trunk?rev=20552&stop_rev=20450">Nearly 90 changes</a> have been made since Beta 2, released 9 days ago. (We are aiming for a beta every week.)</p>
<p>This is still beta software, so <strong>we don&#8217;t recommend that you use it on production sites</strong>. But if you&#8217;re a plugin developer, a theme developer, or a site administrator, <strong>you should be running this on your test environments</strong> and <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Reporting_Bugs">reporting any bugs</a> you find. (See the <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/report/5">known issues here</a>.) If you&#8217;re a WordPress user who wants to open your presents early, take advantage of WordPress&#8217;s famous 5-minute install and spin up a secondary test site. <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/forum/alphabeta">Let us know what you think</a>!</p>

<p>Some cool stats worth mentioning: WordPress powers 72.4 million websites as of March 2012 with half of those being on <a href="http://wordpress.com/">WordPress.com</a>, an estimated 20 &#8211; 25% of new websites published in 2011 were built using WordPress, WordPress powers 22 of every 100 new domains created in the US, and WordPress corners 53.8% of the market when compared to other content management systems.</p>
<p>The infographic is definitely worth a quick look through, and perhaps even framing and hanging on a prominent wall in your main room.</p>

Joost de Valk has taken those stats as well as some others that his team discovered and <a href="http://yoast.com/wordpress-stats/">generated an infographic</a> that visually represents the data. One of the stats that I find impressive is the fact that Freelancer.com reported that 100,000 WordPress developers across the world are listed on the service with reports of over 3.6 million dollars of WordPress projects completed. </p>
<p>What&#8217;s even more impressive is that WordPress has yet to reach a saturation point. There are still plenty of people out there that some day could potentially become WordPress users. So while the numbers we see today are huge, I imagine they&#8217;ll be even bigger in the next 2-3 years. </p>

Any time I read a post like this, it&#8217;s as if I can hear the core team in my head yelling out &#8220;<strong>patches welcome</strong>&#8220;. But you know, just because you dedicate time to produce a patch that includes the functionality you would like to see in core that works flawlessly with WordPress does not guarantee that the functionality will end up within the core of WordPress. So in that sense, you&#8217;re damned if you do and damned if you don&#8217;t. Of course, there is always the plugin route. </p>
<p>I agree with Dev4Press when they mention that the built-in search functionality in WordPress sucks and needs a major overhaul. It&#8217;s something that many users have requested for over two years. Unfortunately, due to complexity or lack of resources, we have yet to see any overhaul on this part of WordPress. There are plugins that enhance this ability but nothing within the core that makes it better. The other issue I wanted to address with the post on Dev4Press concerns their request that Akismet be removed from the default WordPress package as they think it&#8217;s a commercial plugin and thus, unfair to commercial plugin authors. In my opinion, as long as Akismet has the free option, it&#8217;s not a commercial plugin. However, I&#8217;d still like to see it and all other plugins removed from the default installation package just to tidy things up. </p>

<p>We already know that WordPress <a href="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2011/07/11/wordpress-powers-50-million-websites/">powers about 19% of the web</a>, but now we know just how well it fares as a blogging platform in general. Pretty well, that is! Out of the top 100 blogs surveyed, WordPress is just 1 of 12 platforms used, and it&#8217;s powering 48 of the them! As a comparison, the next highest result were the 12 blogs running on a custom platform, followed by 8 who declined to comment, and finally 7 running <a href="http://www.movabletype.org/">Movable Type</a>.</p>
<p>Yes, you read that right. Of the mainstream blogging platforms used by the top 100, WordPress comes in first with 48, followed by Movable Type with 7. That&#8217;s quite a substantial lead!</p>
<p><a href="http://ma.tt/">Matt Mullenweg</a> expects an even higher adoption rate for WordPress next year, and with these numbers, it&#8217;s hard to dispute that.</p>

It&#8217;s a fact of life, it&#8217;s just so easy to that most people end up having 2-3 passwords they use everywhere, including one &#8220;hard&#8221; one for financial sites, etc. The downside is your password is only strong as the weakest link of where you&#8217;ve used it &#8212; when something <a href="http://gadgetwise.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/12/13/gawker-passwords-hacked-what-you-should-do/">like the Gawker hack happens</a> there is a huge wave of compromised accounts that follow.</p>
<p>You can ask users not to use the same password, you can even encourage things like <a href="https://agilebits.com/onepassword">1password</a> (too expensive for many people I recommend it to), but what if there was a way to enforce that people registering for your site hadn&#8217;t used the same password elsewhere?</p>
<p>It actually wouldn&#8217;t be too hard, if you&#8217;re registering with 123@gmail.com and the password &#8220;abc&#8221; when you register and the site hasn&#8217;t encrypted and stored the password yet it could try to log into your Gmail account with those details, and if it works force you to choose a different password. There&#8217;s no reason this has to be limited to email logins, you could put it against the <a href="http://developer.wordpress.com/">APIs of WordPress.com</a>, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, any number of other services that expose simple authentication APIs and see where it works. Any successful logins, tell the user they need to pick something else.</p>
<p>Of course all that work and they&#8217;ll probably just put a 1 at the end of it.</p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Fri, 13 Apr 2012 14:07:58 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:4:"Matt";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:18;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:13:"

However, tons of people that have had to utilize the restoration feature of VaultPress say it&#8217;s worth every penny. Boles University.com has a non-profit WordPress multi-site installation with about 14 sub-domains under its belt. VaultPress supports multi-site but if the subscription is for the main site, only the main sites files and data will be backed up, sub-sites will be ignored. In order to backup everything, each site within the multi-site installation needs their own individual subscription. As you can imagine, it wouldn&#8217;t take long for that to be expensive. As David W Boles <a href="http://blog.bolesuniversity.com/2012/04/05/the-definitive-answer-on-vaultpress-and-wordpress-multisite-pricing/">points out in his article</a>, it would be nice to see VaultPress come up with some sort of plan that allows non-profits the ability to backup their main site along with their satellite sites for a much more affordable price. I&#8217;m not sure how VaultPress would be able to verify whether a multi-site installation is non-profit or not without paperwork validation but it certainly seems like this is a missed oppurtunity market segment for VaultPress. </p>
<p>This is the world of WordPress which means there are alternatives when it comes to safekeeping your data. A relatively new service called <a href="http://getbackuppress.com/">BackupPress</a> performs many of the same functions as VaultPress but at a much more affordable price. In fact, taking a look at <a href="http://getbackuppress.com/features/competition/">their comparison page</a>, they support WordPress multi-site at just 25$ per year. At the time of publishing this article, I couldn&#8217;t locate any specific text that states restrictions similar to VaultPress in that each sub-domain within a multi-site network would need it&#8217;s own subscription. Hopefully, a representative from the service will stop by the comments section and fill us in on the details. </p>

I&#8217;m quoted in the article saying that the 49% marketshare we have among top blogs will continue to grow, and I&#8217;d like to expand on that a bit because it&#8217;s a strong statement.</p>
<p>Typepad and Blogsmith, the two platforms that dropped the most over the past 3 years, are going to disappear either through blogs still using them losing relevance, or their active blogs switching away. Movable Type will likely follow suit, unless its now Japanese-led development makes a pretty drastic change in its product direction. (Consultants focused on Movable Type and Typepad have already started shifting focus to switching their clients to modern platforms to avoid losing the relationship.)</p>
<p>The other big shift will come from the ~22% on custom platforms &#8212; this is going to become as niche as writing your own web server instead of using Apache or Nginx. Some organizations like Huffington Post might continue to make the necessary investments of over 40 engineers to maintain a platform at scale, the rest will find better return investing those resources in editorial. Great stories find an audience regardless of their platform.</p>
<p>WordPress&#8217; biggest challenge over the next two years, and where we&#8217;re focusing core development, will be around evolving our dashboard to be faster and more accessible, especially on touch devices. Many of our founding assumptions about how, where, and why people publish are shifting, but the flexibility of WordPress as a platform and the tens of thousands of plugins and themes available are hard to match. We might not always be the platform people start with, but we want to be what the best graduate to.</p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Wed, 11 Apr 2012 16:37:17 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:4:"Matt";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:25;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:13:"

After conducting a thorough security review with Code Garage.com, an online security scanning website similar to Securi, they discovered that the point of entry was with the zero-day Timthumb vulnerability discovered back in August of 2011. </p>
<blockquote><p>Last August, a zero-day vulnerability affected TimThumb that allowed hackers to execute their PHP code on any site that was running it. As it turns out, the WordPress theme we bought for the site employs pieces of TimThumb code &#8212; including the flaws that were exploited. </p>
<p>Now we have to wait for the spammy search results to evaporate from Google’s cache before everything returns to normal.</p></blockquote>
<p>Be sure to read the tips that Dan and his security adviser provides on protecting your site. Despite the vulnerability being patched soon after its discovery, sites are still becoming compromised. Because of the long tail effect and so many websites using WordPress these days, who knows when this point of entry will stop being taken advantage of. </p>

<p>This beta includes a few notable additions over the current stable release, including a new theme customizer and previewer, the ability to select header and background images from the library, support for flexible custom header image sizes, and a much improved theme browser with the ability to install child themes from <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/">the official directory</a>.</p>

You should know the routine by now. Don&#8217;t run beta software in a production environment. Instead, set up a local install or a mirrored copy somewhere else for testing. If you encounter a situation that you think is a bug, you can use the methods described within this <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Reporting_Bugs">Codex article</a> to report it.</p>
<p>If you decide to give WordPress 3.4 Beta 1 a whirl, here are a couple of things to take a closer look at.</p>
<ul>
<li>Theme Customizer with Previewer</li>
<li>Flexible Custom Header Sizes</li>
<li>Selecting Custom Header and Background Images from Media Library</li>
<li>Better experience searching for and choosing a theme</li>
</ul>
<p>If you noticed that these all appear to be improvements around themes, <a href="http://wpdevel.wordpress.com/2012/01/05/dev-chat-notes-01042012/">there is a reason for that</a>. Back in early January when the scope for WordPress 3.4 was being discussed, the overall theme (pardon the pun) for this release centered around the sites appearance. </p>
<blockquote><p>The idea is that a combination of front-end features, dashboard features, and under-the-hood improvements all tied to managing your site’s appearance will be the focus of 3.4. It will also include smaller things that don’t live in the appearance section but are related to the overarching goal, such as making it possible to have links in image captions.</p></blockquote>
<p>Speaking of links within image captions, this functionality should be in 3.4 beta 1 and is <a href="http://www.wptavern.com/how-to-insert-links-inside-of-image-captions">something I, and many others</a> have wanted within WordPress for a long time. This little addition will make it a breeze to add attribution to images when performing an image only post. There are under the hood improvements as well but what I&#8217;ve covered here should be a good start. </p>

<p>As always, this is software still in development and <strong>we don’t recommend that you run it on a production site</strong> — set up a test site just to play with the new version. If you break it (find a bug), please report it, and if you’re a developer, try to help us fix it.</p>
<p>If all goes well, we hope to release WordPress 3.4 in May. The more help we get with testing and fixing bugs, the sooner we will be able to release the final version. If you want to be a beta tester, you should check out the Codex article on <a title="Reporting Bugs for WordPress" href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Reporting_Bugs">how to report bugs</a>.</p>
<p>Here’s some of what’s new:</p>
<ul>
<li>Theme Customizer with Previewer</li>
<li>Flexible Custom Header Sizes</li>
<li>Selecting Custom Header and Background Images from Media Library</li>
<li>Better experience searching for and choosing a theme</li>
</ul>
<p>And some of the under-the-hood changes:</p>
<ul>
<li>New XML-RPC API for external and mobile applications</li>
<li>New API for registering theme support for custom headers and backgrounds</li>
<li>Performance improvements to WP_Query by splitting the query (Please test!)</li>
<li>Internationalization improvements (improved performance and locale support)</li>
<li>Performance and API improvements when working with lists of installed themes</li>
<li>Support for installing child themes from the WordPress Themes Directory</li>
</ul>
<p>Remember, if you find something you think is a bug, report it! You can bring it up in the <a title="Alpha/Beta Support Forum" href="http://wordpress.org/support/forum/alphabeta">alpha/beta forum</a>, you can email it to the <a title="WP-testers mailing list info page" href="http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers">wp-testers list</a>, or if you’ve confirmed that other people are experiencing the same bug, you can report it on the <a title="WordPress Core Trac" href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/">WordPress Core Trac</a>. (We recommend starting in the forum or on the mailing list.)</p>
<p>Theme and plugin authors, if you haven’t been following the 3.4 development cycle, <strong>please start now</strong> so that you can update your themes and plugins to be compatible with the newest version of WordPress.</p>

<p>Some highlights from the article include 98 version releases of WordPress to date, more than 100 books published on WordPress since 2006, 65 million WordPress downloads since version 3 was released in June of 2010, 14.7% of the top million websites are powered by WordPress, an average of 2.5 million pages served to 352 million people per month on <a href="http://wordpress.com/">WordPress.com</a>, and (out of 2 job sites) an average of 8,615 WordPress-related are jobs posted each month.</p>

For those of you who have been looking for a WordPress Multisite reference book to help get you started, Mika Epstein and Andrea Rennick have <a href="http://tech.ipstenu.org/ebooks/wordpress-multisite-101/">co-authored a book</a> specifically for WordPress Multisite. The book contains over 40 pages of information ranging from installation to configuration. However, one of the more interesting aspects of the book is that the price tag is PWYW otherwise known as Pay What You Want. Mika suggests $5.00 but it&#8217;s not a mandatory amount. Since Sunday, she has seen over 500 downloads of the book while earning $150.00. With that said, the book has been released under a Creative Commons Non-Commercial license which basically means you can use it on your website, put it within the Codex, give it away to someone, but what you can&#8217;t do <a href="http://ipstenu.org/2012/my-ebook-is-pwyw/">is make money from it</a>. I encourage you to read her take on why she released the book as is. </p>
<p>I think one of the things worth taking away from this little experience is that code is GPL, text is not. </p>
