This year I got the chance to join WordCamp US 2025 Contributor Day remotely, and I’m really happy to share that I was able to contribute to the Hosting Team. Even though I wasn’t there in person, it honestly felt like being part of the action. The collaboration, support, and energy from everyone made it a great experience.

What I Worked On

I focused on improving documentation for the Hosting Handbook and the Advanced Administration Handbook. These updates may look small on the surface, but they help make the docs easier to follow and more reliable for anyone who depends on them. And the best part — all of the pull requests I worked on got merged during Contributor Day itself!

Here’s what went through:

• Hosting Handbook
  • Fix: Correct “as risk” to “at risk” in security.md
  • Fix: Update URL to use https instead of http
  • Fix: Standardize short-term capitalization in server-environment.md
• Advanced Administration Handbook
  • Fix: Wrong redirect in Network Admin Sites Screen
  • Fix typos in creating-database.md
  • Add critical error troubleshooting section to common-errors.md

Thoughts After the Day

Contributing like this reminded me why I love being part of the WordPress community. It’s not just about code — it’s about people helping each other and building something bigger together. Seeing my contributions merged right away gave me that extra motivation boost. And it’s proof that no matter where you are in the world, you can still make an impact on WordPress.
