    WordPress Contributions

    rtCamp’s WordPress roots extend back to the success it had with a popular technical blog started in 2006. WordPress’ open community and culture paved the way to start rtCamp.

    Since its inception, rtCamp has only worked on WordPress, while encouraging every rtCamper to contribute back to WordPress core and community.

    WordPress Core

    At rtCamp, we have a strong tradition of contributing to the core development of WordPress. We have a WordPress core contribution from an rtCamper for every single WordPress release since version 3.6, right up to the latest version 6.7. Our contributions’ span for 32 consecutive versions, ensuring the platform’s growth and stability.

    Here are the contributors to WordPress releases:

    rtCampers are active polyglots, helping in the translation of WordPress to English, Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Nepali, Urdu and Bangla. Additionally, our in-house General Translation Editors for Hindi and Gujarati approved over 500 translations. Our efforts have helped expand the reach of WordPress to more users around the globe.
