For WordPress developers, this shift presents an opportunity to rethink how we work, build better workflows, and create new possibilities for our clients and businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this session, we will explore how developers can use AI as a practical collaborator across the WordPress development workflow, from planning and coding to content, SEO, debugging, documentation, and client support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will also look beyond today&#8217;s AI tools at how WordPress itself is evolving to support AI. This includes emerging initiatives such as the PHP AI Client SDK, Abilities API, MCP Adapter, and AI Experiments Plugin, and what these building blocks could mean for developers building AI-powered WordPress solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The session will focus on practical applications rather than AI hype. Attendees will learn how to identify repetitive tasks that AI can assist with, build more efficient workflows, maintain quality and human oversight, and turn the time saved into greater capacity for serving clients and growing their businesses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity alignwide is-style-wide\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\" \/>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/li><li class=\"wp-block-post post-1854 wcb_session type-wcb_session status-publish hentry wcb_session_category-speaker-session\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><h2 style=\"font-size:clamp(22.041px, 1.378rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 1.454), 36px)\" class=\"alignwide wp-block-post-title has-adlam-display-font-family\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eket.wordcamp.org\/2026\/session\/wordpress-security-minus-fear-mongering\/\" target=\"_self\" >WordPress Security, Minus Fear-Mongering<\/a><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-custom-css-52d7e5da wp-block-wordcamp-session-date has-custom-css\"><time dateTime=\"2026-08-15T15:05:00+01:00\">August 15, 2026 3:05 pm WAT<\/time><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.208), 16px);padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0\" class=\"entry-content wp-custom-css-684d8158 wp-block-post-content has-system-sans-serif-font-family is-layout-flow wp-container-core-post-content-is-layout-d3f1b87a wp-block-post-content-is-layout-flow has-custom-css\">\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WordPress has long carried the reputation of being \u201cinsecure,\u201d but how much of that is fact, and how much is simply fear?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This session takes a practical approach to WordPress security by focusing on the habits, decisions, and best practices that actually keep websites secure.

That is when it begins interacting with real users, real data, real businesses, and real consequences.
