One way to provide visitors to your website with a seamless experience is through creating a scrollable parallax tab similar to the WebFlow.io homepage. Creating a scrollable parallax tab will allow users to access much of your site’s content as soon as they land on your homepage.
Many of our users asked about how to go about building a scrollable tab, and we’re here to answer! And what’s even better is that the Jupiter X theme has endless possibilities that can help you create a similar tab (as seen below) by using a simple trick. If you’re also curious about how you can build this amazing tab using Jupiter X, read this article to the end.
Raven, an exclusive Artbees plugin to extend the functionality of Elementor
First of all, allow me to briefly explain the whole process. We won’t use any tab elements to represent this. Instead, we’ll use the Raven Navigation Menu element and anchor links (#tab1, #tab2 …) as the tab titles. Then, we’ll use multiple sections that have the same ID as the anchor links (so when you click on the menu items, scroll to those sections).
And in the end, we’ll add the Sticky effect to the column container of the menu navigation element using the Jet Tricks plugin. Then, we’ll proceed to write a custom CSS snippet to add a transition to the menu items and make them bigger when they are active. Before starting, make sure you’ve already activated the above plugins from Jupiter X -> Control Panel -> plugins.
So, let’s start by building our menus. Navigate to Appearance -> Menus and create a new menu. Then add your Custom Link items. Remember to use the anchor links like #tab1, #tab2 … as the menu item link.
Add menu items with anchor link hashtags to be considered as Tab titles.
We are now done with this part of the process. Let’s create a page, and do the rest. From the Pages -> Add New, create a new page and start editing with Elementor.
Edit the page with Elementor.
In Elementor, drop a Section into your page, and divide it into two columns. Then drop a Navigation menu to your left column, and add a CSS class to the navigation menu.
Add a CSS class to the menu in order to avoid conflict while wiring CSS snippets.
The next step is to add a custom CSS to make each menu stay in one line and also to enlarge them when they are active. So, from the page settings (bottom left corner of the page), choose the Advanced tab and then add the following CSS snippet in the Custom CSS section (JX).
/* Add Transition to the items */
.custom_tab_titles li a {transition: 0.2s all;}
/*make the items bigger when they are active while having transitions */
.custom_tab_titles li .raven-menu-item-active {transition: 0.2s all;
transform: scale(1.3); margin-left: 0.8em;}
/* put each menu in one line */
.custom_tab_titles li {clear: both; display: block; width: 100%;}
Add CSS snippet to make the menu items vertically aligned and add transition to them on mouse hover.
Now add some Inner Section elements to your other column. We need to assign an ID equivalent to the menu anchors in order to make them scrollable when clicked.
Add a different ID to each inner section equivalent to each anchor link hashtag.
Add as much of your content as you want to your scrollable tabs. Here, I kept it empty in order to make it more understandable. I also added a min-height 400px to each inner section. You can avoid it or add more height. The styling part completely customizable, and you can do what you want with it.
The last step is selecting the Column container of the Navigation menu and adding the Sticky behavior to it.
Follow the steps in order to enable the sticky option for the navigation menu. It will be considered as the Tab titles later on.
I also added some typography settings and color changes to the navigation menu in order to make the scrollable tab more eye-catching. Take a look at what we have now:
The scrollable tab made by Jupiter X and Elementor.
One of the great things about using Jupiter X to create a scrollable tab is that you have the flexibility to create a tab exactly to your liking. You have the option of adjusting the margins and paddings to fine tune the tab, as well as to style every corner of your new tab.
Additionally, you’re not limited by how many tabs you can have: you are free to add more and style them in any way you see fit. Don’t worry about getting carried away in adding too many new elements as this has been tested on all modern browsers, and it’s compatible with all of them.
In this blog post, we’ve provided you with the details on how to create a tailor-made scrollable parallax tab, similar to what can be seen on the WebFlow home. We also illustrated how to create this awesome tab with Jupiter X Pro (and the Elementor page builder), Jet Tricks and Raven.

Used by more than 60 million websites, WordPress is a popular, powerful and flexible Content Management System (CMS). One of WordPress’ valuable features is its extensibility architecture that allows users to expand WordPress features via plugins. In many cases, site owners need custom codes to improve the functionality of their website. In this way, custom code snippets plugins in WordPress can be a handy tool.
Sometimes when surfing the internet, we come across articles that explain how to add custom code snippets to the template files like index.php, footer.php or edit function.php files. These methods aren’t safe or recommended.
There are only two safe methods to add custom code snippets in WordPress:
Using plugins
Using the child theme
Adding Custom Code Snippets in WordPress Using Plugins
There are some plugins that allow you to add custom PHP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript codes in WordPress. In this article, we try to cover some of them with examples. Some of the plugins are listed below.
5. The plugin generates a shortcode as [xyz-ips snippet=”words-count”].
6. Go to Posts > Add New. At the end of the text, insert the above shortcode.
7. After publishing the post, we can see the number of words in the post.
Insert the HTML Snippet Plugin
Inserting the HTML Snippet allows us to create shortcodes corresponding to HTML snippets. We can create a shortcode corresponding to any random HTML code such as JavaScript codes, video embedding codes, CSS codes, among others and use the same in posts, pages or widgets.
Features
Convert HTML snippets to shortcodes.
Convert Javascript codes to shortcodes.
Convert CSS codes to shortcodes.
Support for snippet shortcodes in widgets.
Dropdown menu in TinyMCE editor to pick snippet shortcodes easily.
Insert Adsense or any add codes.
Insert flash, videos, etc. to your posts, pages, and widgets.
Example
In this example, we want to generate a Google Translate button after our post.
1. Install the plugin, and go to XYZ HTML > HTML Snippets.
2. On the new screen, click on the Add new HTML Snippet button.
3. Set
Tracking Name: translate
HTML Code (this code generates the Google Translate button)
<div id="google_translate_element"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function googleTranslateElementInit() {
new google.translate.TranslateElement({pageLanguage: 'en'}, 'google_translate_element');
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script>
4. Click on the Create button.
5. The plugin will generate the shortcode as [xyz-ihs snippet=”translate”].
6. Go to Posts > Add New. Set the title and content the add [xyz-ihs snippet=”translate”] at the end of the post.
7. Publish the post, and you will be able to see the Google Translate button after the post.
Simple Custom CSS and JS Plugin
Customizing your WordPress site’s appearance can easily be done by adding custom CSS and JS code without modifying the theme or plugin files.
Features
Text editor with syntax highlighting.
Print the code inline or include it into an external file.
Print the code in the header or the footer.
Add CSS or JS to the frontend or the admin side.
Add as many codes as you want.
Keep your changes when you change the theme.
Example
In this example, we want to change the background color of the admin bar with the CSS snippet.
1. Install the plugin and go to Custom CSS & JS > Add Custom CSS.
2. On the new screen, in the options section, check the Internal, Header, In Admin radio button and set the following:
Title : admin-bar-background-color
Code (code change background color of admin bar in the admin page)
#wpadminbar {
background-color: rebeccapurple;
}
3. Click on the Publish button. You’ll be able to see that the admin bar background menu changed.
Code Snippets Plugin
This is a powerful, simple and handy plugin that lets us add our PHP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript snippets to our websites.
Features
Providing a GUI interface.
Snippets can be activated and deactivated.
Categorize snippets with tags.
Snippets can be exported for transfer to another site.
Full-featured code editor.
Example #1
In this example, we want to disable standard widgets like Archives, Recent Posts, Recent Comments with the simple PHP snippet. The default page is similar to the image below:
1. Install the plugin, and go to Snippets > Add New.
2. On the new screen, set:
Title: Remove standard widget
Code (Remove Archives, Recent Posts, Recent Comments from the right sidebar of the homepage).
3. Check the Only run on site front-end radio button and save it.
At the end, when clicking on the post text, the font size will have been changed.
Adding Custom Code Snippets in WordPress Using Child Theme
In WordPress, a child theme is a sub-theme that inherits all the functionality, style and features from the parent theme. The child theme is a safe way to change or modify the parent theme without modifying parent theme files.
Example
Let’s add our default content to the WordPress editor.
Our default content: “This is some custom content. I’m adding it to the post editor because I hate re-typing it.”
1. Active the child theme on your site (for more information, read this article.)
2. Go to Appearance > Editor.
3. Open the functions.php file.
4. Add the below code at the end of functions.php, then update it.
add_filter( 'default_content', 'my_editor_content' );
function my_editor_content( $content ) {
$content = "This is some custom content I'm adding to the post editor because I hate re-typing it.";
return $content;
}
5. After modifying functions.php, go to Posts > Add New or Pages > Add New. You’ll be able to see that our default text has been added to the editor.
Conclusion
In this article, we first introduced several plugins for adding custom code snippets in WordPress. We also included some examples on how to use HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP snippets using the plugins.
Finally, we showed how to add custom code snippets in WordPress with the child theme. Feel free to share your experience with us in the comments.
Summer is here and so is another WordCamp Europe!

This means meeting the best of the WordPress family and community, who will attend the biggest gathering of the technology that we, you, and one-third of the worldwide web loves!
What is a WordCamp?
The WordCamp Central website says, “WordCamps are informal, community-organized events that are put together by WordPress users like you. Everyone from casual users to core developers participate, share ideas, and get to know each other.” Every year, tens of WordCamps are held in different cities around the world. Local WordCamps focus more on local communities and continental WordCamps such as WordCamp Europe, WordCamp US, and WordCamp Nordic gather members of a wider region or from around the world.

They are also a great opportunity to experience and practice an event not driven for profit by a community not formed solely around benefits. This event is organized and run by a large group of volunteers and financially powered by sponsor funds and humble attendee tickets. So you will experience a different atmosphere and culture than what you may get at other events such as WebSummit or TNW Conference.
What happens at WordCamp?
WordCamps truly reflect the vibrant community that attends it. This dynamic two-three day event consists of different sections such as talks, workshops, contributor sessions, networking, WP Cafe, social hours, after parties and much more.
Contributor Day
Each WordCamp has a Contributor Day, which is a daylong session dedicated to contributing to the WordPress open source project. Different groups are formed to contribute in different fields such as core, design, marketing, community, and polyglot. WordCamp Europe will have its Contributor Day on its first day, Thursday, June 20.

The new version of WordPress was already released in the market on the 27th of November 2018 and advanced editor for the CMS system called Gutenberg was also published on the same day. The newly released WordPress 5.0 is given the name ‘Bebo’ after the Cuban jazz composer Bebo Valdes.
Here, you will get to know about the pros and cons of WordPress 5.0 block editor. While recognizing the leading pros and cons of WordPress 5.0 block editor, you will be able to use the CMS more conveniently. As WordPress is one of the leading CMS platforms in the world, it is remarkable how the new version can be more attractive to users.
When it comes to the statistics, WordPress is backed by a prominent position. In a report by the W3 techs, WordPress holds a significant market share of 58.55%. This market share is much more significant than other CMS systems like Joomla and Drupal combined.
Meanwhile, Netcraft published a recent report which shows that WordPress dominates over nearly 27% of the entire internet. This data implies that over 20% of websites present on the internet in self-hosted style are built with WordPress.
In such a scenario, you can be sure that the latest update can help a large number of web developers. With the latest WordPress features, you can comfortably carry out the necessary tasks related to the web building process.
The Pros and Cons of WordPress 5.0 with the Gutenberg Block Editor
Pros
Better visualization for faster work
As we all know, Gutenberg is a block editor; thus, it can provide a more convenient display to the users. As a user, you can prominently use your creativity. You need not worry about the functionality of the site much while creating the web pages.
The minimized dependency of TinyMCE
The new WordPress 5.0 version beside the block editor has a much lesser dependence on the TinyMCE. The TinyMCE is one of the online rich-text editors through which the earlier WordPress editor used to convert the HTML. In WordPress 5.0, the block editor is meant to deliver better integration of the plug-in’s cores and themes.
With the new Gutenberg editor, you can get a speedy editing experience as there is less need to visit the TinyMCE. As a result, there is a distinct chance of completing the work related to the page makeup faster.
All the benefits of Medium Editor are present
There is good news for most web developers who have earlier used the Medium Editor and worked conveniently in the WordPress. The Gutenberg editor contains similar benefits as the Medium Editor and gives the user a chance to create any content easily.
Thus, by the Bebo version of WordPress, the users can have full control over the content they are creating. One can also get total access to third-party tools whenever necessary.
Gadget-Friendly
While discussing the pros and cons of the WordPress 5.0 Gutenberg Editor, the central positive fact we came across is its gadget-friendliness. The interface you get is efficiently gadget-friendly. You can quickly work with this interface in tablets, smartphones, or laptops, as well as the traditional desktops.
Friendly to the Users
You should be aware that user-friendliness is one of the leading pros that older versions of WordPress have forever possessed. Now, the latest version with the WordPress 5.0 Gutenberg Editor is easier to use. So, you should always consider the fact that the new version has better usability along with the Block Editor.
Cons
Compatibility Issues
As WordPress provides the benefits of working with numerous plug-ins, it is essential for the editing system to be compatible with them. The main con of the WordPress Bebo version is that it might not work well with several themes and plug-ins.
Moreover, the Gutenberg editor demands more work from the end of the developer. This happens due to the decreased use of TinyMCE. However, all the updates that will be made later can improve the backward situation of the compatibility of the editor.
No Full Meta Box Support
In the case of the Beta version of the Gutenberg, you cannot get many essential components of the Meta box. This is another con which might ruin your convenience of working with the WordPress 5.0 version. The only good thing that the Gutenberg editing system has is the Yoast SEO support. There is a prominent expectation that other Meta boxes might work efficiently with Gutenberg in the future.
No Markdown Support
However, working with WordPress is beneficial in many ways; the Gutenberg review might spoil the markdown support. The WordPress Bebo beside that block editor has a prominent con as Markdown is absent. It is a markup language of the lightweight with the ugly test syntax.
If you are the one who has so far used the Markdown language, there might be some problems in getting accustomed to the Gutenberg editor. You should nevertheless expect that the compatibility to the Markdown language will be added shortly.
Bad Accessibility
You must be aware that the Gutenberg Editor that comes with the WordPress Bebo is hard to access. In this editor, you cannot find the API that the CRM earlier used to rely upon for building the plug-ins as well as the themes.
So, these are some of the pros and cons of WordPress 5.0 along with the Gutenberg editor. You should always incorporate it only after thoroughly researching the worthiness of the WordPress Bebo. In case you have lighter jobs to do, and you are a beginner, the 5.0 version is best for you.
Verdict
In spite of all its shortcomings, you should be aware that the latest WordPress is the future. The CRM developers are trying their best to make the WordPress Bebo the best among all the versions available so far. You should also expect a quick road to perfection given the position which WordPress holds in the CRM market.
What do you do when you face a problem using any of your tools? Some people stop using them entirely, while some try to fix it to avoid having to replace a perfectly good tool. But how do you fix something when you don’t know its mechanism? The answer is simple: Compare it with a fixed version of your tool and see which part is having the issue.
What is A/B testing?
This is how the so-called A/B testing technique can be used to troubleshoot an issue. It doesn’t matter if your tool is a tangible object, virtual machine, or software You can use this method to troubleshoot and solve the problems you encounter. You probably did it before without knowing that your using the A/B testing strategy, but let me give you some examples so you understand it better:
The moment that you decide to set up camp in the forest and pitch your tent, you are actually doing an A/B testing. You are always comparing between different locations and tents. Should I put my tent here or there? What will happen if I place it here? How do the other tents look? Are their campsites better than mine? You are pretty much using A/B testing at that moment to find and examine the best location available for your tent.
The moment that a laboratory scientist compares between normal and healthy samples to give you the results of your blood test, he/she is using A/B Testing.
The moment that you are in a clothing store and testing the clothes to see which one suits you better, you are doing an A/B Testing.
There are dozens of other examples of the concept. You basically used this method a lot in your daily life to troubleshoot an issue.
In digital marketing, A/B Testing is the perfect method to measure the impression you make on your users and increase your sales by collecting and analyzing the statistics of different marketing campaigns.
Let’s see how we can use it to troubleshoot an issue with your website. The principle and method are the same. You need to compare your website with a perfect version of it or with the design you provided (PSD) to be able to detect the issues.
Notice: Always do your testings over a staging website and keep a full backup before starting your tests.
Provide the perfect look
The key point here is to have a perfect non-issue-ish version of your website. Whether it’s a PSD version or it’s a completed website, you need something to compare with your problematic website. Otherwise, detecting the issue will be hard. Keep the perfect look open on a different tab on your browser or in your Photoshop software. You will need it for the next steps.
If you had a website that was previously available but recently got issues and you don’t have a backup or screenshot from it, you may use Archive.org to see how your website looked like back then.
Check the error logs
The first thing you should do is to use the browser Developer tools. Developer tools will help you detect the problems by providing debug tools and consoles. Hover the mouse on the different DOM elements in the Elements tab to see the size and details, and compare them with the other tab. It will help you detect the difference and then you will get one step closer to resolving the issue. Also, for the Javascript issues, you can compare the Browser Console tabs to see if you have any new errors in the problematic page or not.
Apply a change and compare again
This is a repeating task. You need to continuously compare the changes on your staging website and see if it helped or not. When I’m talking about the changes, I mean deactivating plugins one by one, switching the themes, updating WordPress (or other CMSes if you are using them), and even reconfigure your web host settings. Issues come from different places, so you need to perform the changes from different places to see if it’s related to your problem or not.
The thing is, the better you know the mechanism, the smarter you can troubleshoot an issue. For example, if a section background color is not working correctly, the reason cannot be from the webserver configuration (unless it’s a caching issue). Or when you have a server error on your page, it may not be related (or barely related) to the color configurations of your theme at all.
Sometimes, the issue goes further and comes from the Database or third-party API. So, you may need to reset your database and see if it helps or not. In a nutshell: You need to check everything that involves your website to be able to detect an issue.
Here is a list of things were common issues usually come from:
Web hosts and servers configurations. You should check the server requirements of your theme and plugins and make sure it meets the minimum requirements.
Outdated core CMS (WordPress), theme and plugins
Firewalls or security plugins.
Plugin conflicts, like multiple caching plugins which will conflict with each other
Misconfiguration of plugins, such as forcing SSL which should be done carefully
Misunderstanding or using the functions in an inappropriate way, like using a popup trigger on your burger menu icon (side note: Yes, it happened to some users already) which triggers weird popups as you trigger the menu
Customizing the codes, whether they are CSS or JS customizations, or even if it’s your child theme and you did change the theme files inside your child theme
Database corruptions or invalid data in the database
It’s better that you apply the changes you think may help, step by step, and see if they work.
Isolate the problem
While you are doing your A/B testing, you are also isolating the problem to the point that you find the reason for the issue and resolve it. When you find the problem, you did the job! The faster you isolate the problem, the sooner you get to the answer.
Here are some major testing tips which will help you get to the root of the issue faster:
Deactivate your plugins. If it did resolve the issue, you know that it’s a plugin conflict. Now, you have to activate the plugins one by one to see which one triggers the issue.
Switch the theme. Sometimes, a good starting point is to see if the issue is happening because of using your current theme or not. Switch to your parent theme if you are using a child theme, and switch to another theme if you don’t have a child theme. In case the issue resolves itself, you at least know that it’s coming from your theme.
Switch to another web host. Sometimes, it’s faster to move your whole website to another web server and see if you still see the issue. It’s especially good for when you have permission or caching issues. If your issue was resolved by moving your website to a new web host, then the problem is your previous web hosting service.
Change your browser, device or network. It happens sometimes that your browser, device, or even your ISP causes issues. Also, it’s better to deactivate your browser extensions as much as you can because some extensions such AdBlockers may cause some conflicts with parts of your website.
If none of the above helped, you can isolate more by removing the content from your pages or deactivating headers, footers and block sections. These will help you identify issues with your content if you had any.
Software and tools for A/B Testing
Although the best tools to troubleshoot an issue are your personal computer, a browser, and developer tools, each issue requires its own tool or service. Imagine that your SEO rank has dropped and you want to find the issue. What tools would you need? Probably, you will need your Google Search Console, or Alexa and Google Analytics.
Furthermore, each issue requires its own debugging tools. There are plenty of software and services, free and premium, which can help you troubleshoot an issue and also help you do automatic testing.
Here, I listed some of them:
BrowserStack Automate.It gives access to 2000+ real mobile devices and browsers, which include real iOS and Android devices, Chrome, IE, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. You can set a bunch of automatic testing tasks with different conditions and get results by Text Logs, Selenium/Appium Logs, Video Recordings, Screenshots, Console Logs, Network Logs, and more.
Screener.io. Although this is a good tool for automated testing, it’s Screen Overview function is also a great tool to find differences between two versions of your page.
WinMerge.org. It’s a diff checker tool that will allow you to find the difference between two versions of texts. You can use this to spot the differences between page contents, page sources, and even images!
GTMetrix.com is a performance analyzer. Open two tabs of the same website and apply your changes to your website. Then, retest on one of the tabs and do your performance A/B testing with it.
WordPress logger, debug and troubleshooting tools such as Debug Bar and its Add-ons. They can be considered as A/B testing debug tools as they provide a set of logs. You can then observe them and compare with different scenarios while doing your A/B testing in order to isolate and find the issue.
Conclusion
As mentioned, A/B testing is a method that you are using a lot in your daily life. You can use it to troubleshoot your website issues, too. Every tool you are using to check your website and debug its issues can turn into an A/B testing tool. It’s just about the way you’re using your tools.
One of the important things in any person’s life is his or her job. A good career provides structure and gives one’s life direction. Therefore, finding the right job is essential. Nowadays, one way to find a job is by using a job board website.
What is a job board website?
A job board (a.k.a job site, job portal, employment site) is a website or webpage that deals particularly with employment, job seekers, and resumes. It enables employers to offer job positions to potential candidates. Applicants can search job boards to find open positions and career opportunities.
There are different types of job board websites over the internet:
Additionally, there are job search engines. The main difference between a job board website and a job search engine is that job seekers only see job offers on one site but on the job search engine, the applicants can access job offers from several job board websites or employers’ career websites.
In this article, we’re going to create a job board in WordPress using the Jupiter X theme and WP Job Manager plugin. In case you want to use a different plugin, the following list can help you.
WP Job Manager is a simple, lightweight and shortcode-based plugin that will help you create a job board in WordPress. It allows you to create jobs, job categories, frontend job submission forms and job dashboards for users.
Features
Add, manage and categorize job listings using the familiar WordPress UI.
Searchable and filterable ajax-powered job listings are added to your pages via shortcodes.
Frontend forms for guests and registered users to submit and manage job listings.
Allow employers or recruiters to preview their listing before it goes live. The preview matches the appearance of a live job listing.
Each listing can be tied to an email or website address so that job seekers can apply seamlessly.
Searches also display RSS links to allow job seekers to be alerted to new jobs matching their search.
Allow logged in employers to view, edit, mark as filled, or delete their active job listings.
Create three default pages as Jobs, Job Dashboard, Post a Job.
Useful Shortcodes
The plugin comes with several shortcodes to show jobs and forms in various formats. You can learn more about the following shortcodes in this shortcode reference article.
[jobs]: Shows a list of your jobs as well as filters for searching.
[job]: Shows a single job by ID.
[job_summary]: Shows a single job’s summary by ID.
[submit_job_form]: Shows the frontend job submission form.
[job_dashboard]: Shows the job dashboard used by logged in users.
Create a Job Board in WordPress with WP Job Manager Plugin
Now that we have learned about the WP Job Manager plugin, let’s create a website using this plugin and your Jupiter X theme.

A couple of days ago Jupiter X v1.3 was released. Of course, just like any other theme updates, it comes with a long list of improvements and additions to make the theme even more powerful and capable. But looking at the features, you will notice that this update has particularly improved on one feature! Yes, that’s the form element.
Form builders are among those parts of WordPress themes that are basically the same without much difference in various themes and you don’t expect to see anything about them in theme updates. Well, Jupiter X surprises us again with this update!
Jupiter X form builder is already a powerful tool to visually create and order your online forms. It also allows you to customize its appearance to the deepest level. So, let’s see what can possibly be an improvement coming with the latest update, Jupiter X v1.3!
New form elements added
As the title also suggests, you will have more elements to use in your forms including checkbox, radio button, date selector and time selector. Date and time selector will open standard date and time selectors for your users to set a time or date.
For checkbox and radio buttons, add the choices one per line and see them listed down.
Say hi to download action
This action helps you upload a file to get downloaded when the submit button is clicked by the user; say, the PDF book you give away in return for new subscribers or a freebie design file in exchange for some valuable leads! There are 2 ways to link a “file” to “download” action:
Via source file link
By uploading the package directly to your hosting service
Hubspot integration
If you‘re using HubSpot to collect leads and you don’t want to use one of the forms from its built-in library, you can simply connect your Jupiter X form to Hubspot. You can enter your HubSpot account details such as Portal ID and Form ID, and the data your form collects will be sent in defined HubSpot table fields. You should do the field mapping here to choose what field will be connected to which HubSpot fields.
Deeper MailChimp integration
Jupiter has offered MailChimp integration from its very early versions, but with the latest Jupiter X v1.3 form builder updates, you will have tighter integration with MailChimp in your forms. Just by entering your MailChimp API key, you can connect your form to any specific audience list you have in Mailchimp and the emails you collect in your form will be added to that audience segment.
If your audience is segmented into groups, you can choose a group so the collected emails will be directly added to that group. Furthermore, you can activate the double opt-in feature for your entries directly from Jupiter X instead of doing it from MailChimp.
Just like the Hubspot integration, you can perform field mapping to indicate the exact MailChimp fields you want each of your form fields to be connected to.
Recap
How do you like the new additions to Jupiter X v1.3 form builder? Go ahead and build your next online form with it and let us know if there is anything you expect from a form builder that Jupiter X v1.3 form builder hasn’t yet provided. And stay tuned for more and more new features and additions coming your way very soon!
Spring is maybe the best season to run WordCamps. In fact, if you check WordCamp Central, you will notice that many WordCamps are scheduled for the spring season. Just to name a few, Paris, Vienna, Atlanta, London, Torino, Athens, Rotterdam, Madrid, Miami, Kolkata, and Prague have all held or scheduled WordCamps for March, April, and May.
Artbees started our WordCamp tours in 2019 with two important European WordCamps, WordCamp London 2019 and WordCamp Torino 2019. We participated in one as a speaker and in the other as a sponsor. Below I will share some of our takeaways from these two WordCamps. Let’s dig in.
WordCamp Torino 2019
Just a few months after our last WordCamp in Milano, we got to join another WordCamp with the great Italian WordPress community — WordCamp Torino 2019. The city of Torino is as beautiful as Milan but less expensive. It was, in fact, cheaper compared to many other EU cities.
Torino is one of the tech and industrial hubs of Italy. Communicating with people as a foreigner, of course, is challenging, but Italians are famous for their upbeat mood and hospitality. This all does not only make the city a great destination for tourists but also a great place for WordCamps.
Upon arrival, you can observe the high engagement of locals who are passionate about contributing to WordPress. WordCamp Torino 2019 was very well-organized and planned, too. Food was nothing less than what you could expect from a country like Italy —always savory and delicious!
WordCamp Torino Contributor Day
Like every other WordCamp Artbees has attended, we had a member in WordCamp Torino 2019 as well. Rouzbeh from Artbees contributed to the Marketing team in WordCamp Torino (Contribution day in Italian WordCamps are not a placeholder!).
WordCamp Torino 2019 Contributor Day
People seriously work and contribute during this segment and the progress is visible and even palpable. You can see heated discussions and meetings going on during the entire contribution day.
Rouzbeh from Artbees Talked About GPL
At WordCamp Torino, Rouzbeh, CEO at Artbees, discussed a very sensitive and nowadays popular matter: open-source. Within his talk entitled, “Going GPL: What happens when a theme with 100K users goes GPL!”, he shared the story of Jupiter X WordPress theme with 100K customers that decided to change its license to full GPL after 5 years.
As the CEO of Artbees, he explained how he had to be aware of the business implications and risks attached to such a decision. Before making this decision at Artbees, they were very much concerned about the impact this will have on sales, the Jupiter X brand image, and the future of the theme as a whole.
After a short introduction of GPL license and its meaning, he explained the results of this decision, the steps taken to execute the relicensing process, the market’s reaction to it, and finally, the state of the company and our theme after going GPL.
Rouzbeh’s presentation of the Artbees journey towards GPL was worth it for all the WordPress theme producers who are unsure about going GPL. It can also encourage many theme developers to follow the same path. The video of the talk will be available in wordpress.tv soon.

Francesca Marano of WordCamp Torino made a great point regarding Rouzbeh’s talk:
You can not encourage people to contribute to open source for free just as a good gesture or a positive deed. You should show them the real benefit they can get out of it or perhaps a potential opportunity from a business outlook.
Based on the extremely positive feedback regarding Rouzbeh’s talk, you can say that his topic was aligned with what Francesca said as it definitely was trying to explore the business potential of GPL.
WordCamp London 2019
Just about the same time that WordCamp Torino was taking place, there was another great WordCamp happening exactly 1240 KM away! WordCamp London 2019 was held on April 5-7 in London Metropolitan University, and Artbees was one of its sponsors. Fun fact: This was the first WordCamp that Artbees sponsored in 2019.
Artbees supported WordCamp London 2019 with its Jupiter X
WordCamp London is one of the most important WordCamps in Europe. Some believe that’s the second most important WordCamp (after WordCamp Europe) in Europe and a great opportunity to obtain the pulse of the WordPress community in entire Europe, as there are attendees from every part of Europe, and not just the UK.
I, Maziar, and Babek were representing Artbees’ very own Jupiter X in its booth on April 6 and 7. Rouzbeh was only able to join us on April 7 Sunday after he held his talk in Torino!
WordCamp London Contributor Day
As you may know, Contributor Days are an integral part of WordCamps and truly symbolize the culture that WordPress promotes. Tens, sometimes dozens, and sometimes hundreds of passionate people gather in different teams in every WordCamp and contribute to WordPress however they can (I have co-authored a blog post about the culture of contribution in WordPress in WordPress.org Marketing blog and talked about this in extent).
Maziar from Artbees in WordCamp London 2019 Contributor Day along with MakeWordPress marketing team
Artbees had a representative in WordCamp London 2019 Contributor Day as well! As part of the MakeWordPress Marketing team and along with other great members and reps such as Siobhan Cunningham and Yvette Sonneveld, we worked on different tasks related to the Marketing team. I personally wrote a WordPress success case study you will read soon on wordpress.org Marketing blog.
A Vibrant Talk Lineup!
WordCamp London had a vibrant array of speakers talking about a wide variety of topics such as copywriting, business growth, content monetization, accessibility, content syndication, open-source, SEO, cognitive design, cookies, recruiting, e-commerce and technical topics such as HTTP/2, GraphQL, Laravel, Serverless, Redux, and more.
Below, I want to name a few very interesting talks you might have missed! In which case, do not forget to watch them once they are on wordpress.tv:
During the days of manning our booth as a sponsor of WordCamp London 2019 (April 6 & 7), we witnessed a very dynamic range of people stopping by to ask about Jupiter X. We received a lot of good insights and feedback about Jupiter X and a round of applause for our decision to go GPL! We also happened to meet some of the old Jupiter users in London who had been using Jupiter since 4 years ago.
Jupiter X Booth in WordCamp London 2019
With Paul Lacey of Dickiebirds StudioWith Siobhan and Jimmy of the Yoast teamWith Ronald Gijsel of Yithemes
As you can deduce, Jupiter X had a booth in WordCamp London 2019. So, I had a limited time attending talks or side events. However, I was lucky enough to manage my time to attend important events such as a very useful meetup regarding marketing that was held by MakeWordPress marketing team.
I joined a side meetup regarding marketing as part of the MakeWordPress Marketing team
In this one-hour meeting, many ideas, trends, and practices regarding marketing were discussed and many questions were answered. I myself discussed the relevancy of testimonials in 2019 and received different ideas about that!
This was our first WordCamp London experience and for sure, not the last one. WordCamp London 2019 was organized by a veteran team (Led by Dan Maby) with many volunteers contributing to it in different sectors. WordCamp London gives everyone who does something with WordPress a unique chance to connect with the UK WordPress community and explore various opportunities.
WordCamp Torino 2019 and WordCamp London 2019 were a great kickstarter for Artbees’ WordCamp presence in 2019. The experience we collected in different parts of these great WordPress gatherings, from contributing to different teams to speaking with them to showcase Jupiter X is priceless and will definitely help us with the future of Artbees and Jupiter X.
However, that’s just the beginning for 2019! Stay tuned with us for great news with upcoming WordCamps such as WordCamp Athens 2019, WordCamp Plovdiv 2019, WordCamp Europe 2019, and more. 😀
