Monthly Roundup – March 2026

This March, rtCamp turned 17. Our CEO Rahul shared where we are headed with AI-driven delivery, adaptive websites, and expanded solutions across WordPress and ERPNext.

Our latest case study details how we migrated the Psychopharmacology Institute from a Django and React platform to WordPress and LearnDash in under six hours. The move shed years of technical debt accumulated through extensive customization. We achieved this with zero downtime, uninterrupted logins, and 3,000+ subscribers carried over intact.

With WordPress 7.0 releasing soon, we share a summary of what the rtCamp team is most excited about: real-time collaboration, AI connectors, and a refreshed admin experience.

If you are deciding between custom WordPress development and off-the-shelf themes, the conclusion changes dramatically at enterprise scale. Our article on custom WordPress development vs themes breaks down how performance, security, and total cost of ownership factor into that decision and what enterprises often overlook.

We’ve updated our Drupal vs WordPress handbook with an evidence-based comparison across security, cost, AI readiness, and enterprise architecture.

Our new Contentful to WordPress migration guide covers architecture, rich text transformation, SEO preservation, and total cost of ownership for enterprise teams. Also check out our migration service on how we handle the transition.

WordPress news snippets

• WordPress has introduced several AI initiatives to its infrastructure. WordPress.org now serves Markdown output across its sites, making documentation easier for AI agents and LLMs. The Plugin Directory gets an MCP server for AI tools to validate and submit plugins directly. Separately, the directory itself is now available as a local dev environment via wp-env, open to any contributor without special access.
• WordPress launched my.WordPress.net, a browser-based personal workspace with no sign-up or hosting required. It runs on Playground and stays private by default.
• Telex can now generate complete WordPress block themes from natural language prompts. Describe your site’s style and purpose, choose from four design variations, and install the result.
• WordPress.com added write capabilities to its MCP integration. AI agents can now draft posts, manage comments, and organize content through natural language commands.

From around the web

• Google has upgraded AI Studio with a full-stack vibe coding experience. Just describe an app, and the Antigravity agent builds it without leaving the browser. 
• Anthropic has shipped auto mode for Claude Code in research preview, offering a middle path between constant permission prompts and unrestricted execution.
