    Speaker: Nathan Onn – Make AI Agents Work for Your WordPress

    Nathan Onn is a web development virtuoso with a unique talent for turning digital challenges into business opportunities.

    Speaker - Nathan Onn

    With over a decade of hands-on experience, he’s not just your average coder – he’s the go-to expert for businesses seeking innovative tech solutions to their most pressing operational problems. Nathan’s ultra-specific skill set spans from crafting user-friendly WordPress plugins to architecting complex business systems.

    Now, he’s on an exciting mission to harness the power of AI, offering businesses an unmissable chance to streamline their operations and stay ahead of the digital curve.

    How to use AI agents to click, configure and care for your WordPress site

    Every WordPress freelancer knows the drill:

    • Same updates every week.
    • Same SEO checks.
    • Same performance tweaks.
    • Same WooCommerce settings across different clients.

    What if you could hand these repetitive tasks to an AI that actually clicks through wp-admin for you?

    • Watch an AI build a WooCommerce store from zero to checkout-ready
    • See it handle plugin updates, detect conflicts, and automatically roll back when needed
    • Observe as it perform SEO audits and implement fixes across your entire site
    • Learn how simple prompts become powerful automation workflows

    Meet computer-use agents—AI assistants that can see your screen, navigate WordPress, and execute your exact workflows.

    Think of them as tireless junior developers who follow your playbook perfectly, create backups before touching anything, and document every single change.

    During this talk, you’ll witness the magic firsthand:

    • Watch an AI build a WooCommerce store from zero to checkout-ready
    • See it handle plugin updates, detect conflicts, and automatically roll back when needed
    • Observe as it performs SEO audits and implements fixes across your entire site
    • Learn how simple prompts become powerful automation workflows

    The breakthrough?

    You don’t need technical skills.

    These agents work from plain English checklists—the same ones you probably already use.

    I’ll show you how to transform your WordPress routines into automated playbooks with built-in safety nets.

    Whether you’re a solo freelancer juggling ten client sites or an agency owner trying to standardize operations, this session will revolutionize how you think about WordPress management.

    You’ll leave with ready-to-use automation templates, a safety-first workflow that protects production sites, and the confidence to delegate 80% of your repetitive tasks to AI.

    Your weekends are about to get a lot more free.

  • Why WordCamp Malaysia 2025 Will Be Unmissable

    Why WordCamp Malaysia 2025 Will Be Unmissable

    Every great event begins long before the lights, the talks, and the applause. It starts with people — passionate WordPress folks who believe in creating something meaningful together.

    Every Wednesday morning, a group of passionate Pressians from across Malaysia gathers over a casual call. The tone is always warm, a mix of laughter, quick updates, and shared excitement.

    Macam lepak pagi Rabu dengan geng WordPress, tapi semua tengah susun batu untuk bina sesuatu yang legend. Jom WordPress!

    It’s the heartbeat of WordCamp Malaysia 2025 coming to life.

    WCMY25 Weekly Meeting 19/23 - (8 Oct)

    In these calls, laughter mixes with focus. As Eric jokes about cooking for one, the designer worries about picking the right T-shirt fabric, and yet another is deep in spreadsheets tallying sponsor numbers.

    It’s a mix of chaos and care – all leading toward one goal: creating an unforgettable experience for the WordPress community in Malaysia.

    This year, the call for speakers brought 74 submissions; our biggest pool yet – arrived from all corners, each idea reflecting the energy and curiosity of the WordPress community. Great job Speakers team!

    From deep dives into AI to creative business ideas and community-building topics, the energy is high. The team is now carefully voting, curating, and shaping what stories will soon inspire hundreds at the event.

    Cerita AI, bisnes, dan kreativiti… macam rojak KL — semua ada rasa, semua ada warna.

    Behind the scenes, the volunteers are lining up, swag items are being finalized, and menus are being tested (yes, food matters!).

    Macam pasar malam, semua sibuk tapi seronok — ramai tangan, satu semangat.

    Every small decision – from badges to booth layouts – carries the same intention: to make your two days at WordCamp Malaysia feel welcoming, exciting, and full of discovery.

    And while the planning team spends nights balancing budgets and sending emails to sponsors, there’s one thing they all agree on: WordCamp Malaysia is not simply a conference.

    WordCamp Malaysia is a celebration of community, creativity, and collaboration.

    Bila semua berkumpul nanti, memang macam kenduri WordPress — riuh, mesra, dan penuh inspirasi.
