A better way to test HTML in WordPress with assertEqualHTML() PHPUnit tests for HTML output are fragile. Attribute order changes, a trailing semicolon, and suddenly tests fail — even though the browser renders the same thing. WordPress 6.9 adds assertEqualHTML() to WP_UnitTestCase. It compares HTML semantically, so only real differences cause failures.

WordPress 6.9 adds assertEqualHTML(), a better way to test HTML. It compares markup semantically (normalized), so your tests stop breaking over attribute order.

Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: WordPress in Education: What we teach when we teach WordPress. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar. Across higher education, WordPress is used as a publishing tool, but when we engage with students, it becomes part of the learning environment. We teach students to use the web to tell their stories. They create portfolios, publish project sites, and share digital humanities work. They build professional identities that travel with them beyond a single course or platform. At the same time, many student-facing initiatives that may utilize WordPress as a tool have a different shared language and vocabulary for what, exactly, we’re teaching: Is it web design, digital writing, technology literacy, open pedagogy, or informational literacy, or all of the above? In practice, it is often a mix, and that makes it worth naming and learning from each other. This online summit, hosted by WPCampus, the professional organization for WordPress in Higher Ed, centers student-facing programs, both long-standing and emerging. We’ll explore how educators and campus teams are teaching WordPress for authentic public work, and how newer pathways like the WordPress Credits are reframing WordPress not just as a tool students use, but an open source ecosystem that students can participate in and contribute to. Why this matters now WordPress remains a highly used web platform on the open web, which means “learning WordPress” often doubles as learning the web in a practical, career relevant way. What participants will learn Defining outcomes: How campuses frame student WordPress initiatives and what they prioritize. Teaching models that scale: Mentorship, peer learning, and support structures that work across programs. Pathways beyond the classroom: how student move from course-based projects to portfolios, community contribution, and career development. Open source community engagement and sustainability: How student contributions feed into the larger WordPress ecosystem and help sustain open source projects.

WPCampus is hosting an online summit on March 24, 2026, at 10:00 AM ET, centered on how educators use WordPress in higher education. Topics include student portfolios, digital writing, and pathways to open source contributions.
