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?

How hard is it to style an <hr> element in the #WordPress block editor? Not that hard... unless you're me. In which case it took five different attempts to get it right.

Currently getting completely lost in #wordpress / #composer hell:

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. 🚮

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.

“Part 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.”
