WPMU DEV

🇮🇳 WordCamp Asia 2026 in Mumbai was a fantastic celebration of community, contribution, and connection. The energy at Jio World Convention Centre was something special — great sessions, inspiring conversations, and the kind of atmosphere that reminds you why the WordPress community is so unique. A huge shoutout to the organizers and volunteers who put together such a welcoming and well-run event. Prathamesh Palve co-led the Support contributor table — and it was a particularly rewarding one. The team welcomed people who were brand new to WordPress, walked them through the basics, introduced them to troubleshooting, and helped them make their very first replies in the support forums. Suman Basuli took the stage to talk about crafting a Content Security Policy without breaking your site — mic hiccup in the first minute and all! He also opened up as a resource on contributors' day, where people dropped by to discuss accessibility, security, and speed, and he helped a few newcomers take their first steps with WordPress. It was also great to have more of our team there, connecting with fellow WordPress enthusiasts from across the region. Thanks to everyone who made WordCamp Asia 2026 such a memorable experience. See you in Penang, Malaysia in 2027! 💙 #WordCampAsia #WCAsia2026 #WordCamp #WordPress #WPMUDEV
