— Many enhancements are available out of the box, with no configuration required. They improve the website frontendās performanceāthe part visitors seeāand various parts of the administrative experience, such as the editor. Hereās a partial list of performance upgrades from the past year:
— Automattic welcomes Beeper to the family. At Automattic, our core belief is that communication is a fundamental human right; it should be accessible, encrypted, and open source where possible.
— Beeper has been acquired! The team has joined Automattic and will continue to build Beeper.
— Support for PHP 7.0 and 7.1 will be dropped in WordPress 6.6, scheduled for release in July 2024. The new minimum supported version of PHP will be 7.2.24. The recommended version of PHP remains at 7.4 or greater.
— If you visit WordPress.org, you will notice a few changes. This is not a complete reenvisioning of the homepage but rather a quick initial iteration that aims to accomplish a few things.
— I am an open-source fanatic. I started my open-source career by contributing to WebKit in 2005. WebKit is an open-source software component for rendering
— WordPress 6.5 āReginaā is here! Named in honor of Regina Carter, renowned jazz violinist and educator, this release was made possible by over 700 contributors. āReginaā also marks the introduction of some breakthrough developer tools that will start transforming how you use and extend blocks to craft engaging experiences.
— Say hello to Customize Your Store, a brand-new feature that will take the place of the āPersonalize Your Storeā onboarding step.Customize Your Store will take advantage of the latest WordPress Site Editing tools, along with a cool new Pattern Assembler UI.
— It has long been the case that WordPressā most successful marketing has been chalked up to word of mouth, but our substantial network of WP media partners has never been included in any definition of that. I know that we rely on outlets like WP Tavern Jukebox, Underrepresented in Tech, Do the Woo, Gutenberg Times, and countless others to get our information out to users of every variety. And for all these years, theyāve had to know the right people and read the right stuff to get accurate and up-to-date information into their content for their audiences.
— In the style of the WordPress mission statement to democratize publishing, I like to call this effort Democratizing Performance. Or in other words: performance for everyone. In my eyes, everyone should be able to have a fast website, regardless of their skill level or technical knowledge. To achieve this, we take things that used to require advanced technical knowledge and make it accessible to everyone.
— Introduced in WordPress 6.5, the Font Library allows users to manage fonts directly in the editor. It comes with a set of APIs that allow developers to control, adapt, and disable its behavior.
— The foundational infrastructure for the websites you build and manage is crucial for ensuring a safe, secure, fast, and reliable environment. Thatās where WP Cloud comes in. Automattic, the parent company of WordPress.com, built WP Cloud because we wanted a cloud platform constructed from the ground up just for WordPress. Weāve hosted millions of websites across the WordPress ecosystem and have become one of the most trusted providers in cloud services. At WordPress.com, the WP Cloud infrastructure powers all websites on our Creator and Entrepreneur plans.
We curate the top news, social, and conversations for WordPress professionals.

WordPress folks:
I'm playing around with Twenty Twenty-Three (FSE) on a personal site. It's set as a blog and so the home page is a list of posts.
But I can't get the home page to show more than 10 posts per page, no matter what I change.
I've set Settings > Reading
I've set the query loop block to 12 in every template in the editor that has it. It still only shows 10 posts.
Any ideas?

I wonder if we, as a community, can keep the proposed #WordPress Interactivity API from going the way of #WooCommerce's cart fragments.
Which is to say that cart fragments are totally fine (and kind of fun) on a modest Woo site. But as soon as you start getting real traffic, that little auto updating shopping cart is one of the very first things that needs to go. š®

The #WordPress #Gutenberg block editor has some annoying #Firefox scroll bar issues for years, including vertical (urgh) scrollbars.
This CSS snippet mitigates it for me. I wished I've fixed it before.
/*** Firefox vs Gutenberg sidebar scrollbar fix ***/
.interface-interface-skeleton__content,
.interface-interface-skeleton__sidebar,
.components-popover__content
{
scrollbar-gutter: stable;
scrollbar-width: thin;

Is there an image format conversion plugin for #WordPress that can act like an invisible mu-plugin?
(I.e. converts JPEG and PNG images into WebP on upload.)
I'd love to have something that simply hooks into wp_handle_upload, uses config constants and does not notify anyone of its existence.
Not that I can't whip one up myself, but this just sounds too simple for anyone else not having done this.

āPart of the magic of #WordPress and its success is that the open nature and #decentralized user experience they offer allows the individuals and organizations using it to embrace their first purposes instead of backward engineering from a centralized monopoly and a bagful of money.
And a key benefit of distributed systems is that they improve over time. When you see something that can be made better, make it better.ā
