How to Start Contributing to WordPress

If you want to start contributing to WordPress, the first step is to visit the Make WordPress website.

Go to make.wordpress.org.

On this website, you will find all the contributor teams in WordPress. If you scroll down toward the bottom of the page, you can see the full list of available teams.

Each team works on a different area of WordPress. For example, some teams focus on Core, Design, Documentation, Training, Polyglots, Support, Marketing, and more.

Take a little time to explore the teams and see which one matches your interests, skills, or experience.

If you are not sure which team is the best fit for you, WordPress also has a helpful tool called the Contributor Wizard.

The Contributor Wizard helps you understand where to get started based on your skills and interests.

So, if you are unsure where to begin, simply use the Contributor Wizard, and it will guide you in the right direction.

In short:

First, go to make.wordpress.org.
Second, explore the available contributor teams listed on the page.
Third, if you are not sure which team to join, use the Contributor Wizard to find the best starting point for you.

That’s it. This is the easiest way to begin your WordPress contribution journey.
