Very cool demo, but haven’t you heard… the MPA is back! SSR, “island” architecture, signals, and *other buzzwords* are the new hottest. I loved the heart element so much, and that the project was inspired by tools like Alpine, I wanted to see if I could capture the “spirit of… Show more

Interesting thread on Reddit on what plugin author should not do

WordPress will become “reactive” with the new proposed Interactivity API The past was WordPress and the future is… WordPress? Kind of a drag and drop React lol

Added TODAY for your daily #WordPress news consumption: – Added: @c_z_a_p_l_a on Interactivity API and @pollyplummer analysis. – Podcasts: @UnderRepdInTech – Posts: @oandregal , @DavidArtiss , @WooCommerce – Tweets/Mastodon posts! Have a good weekend!

This issue is now solved with CoBlocks 3.0.2 – Fix issue around missing loader dependencies. #2515 I tested with the update, and the Elementor issues are all resolved with this update. The order of stylesheets is now correct and the Improved CSS Loading now works fine as well.

Interesting conversation going on in the thread of @briancoords ‘s tweet around the value/impact of the different Phases of Gutenberg. #WordPress

AI, #WordPress, and Bitcoin. We live in exciting times! Let’s just hope it doesn’t turn into an “I, Robot” situation. Issue #18 of my monthly newsletter, “Tidbits from Brian” just went out. Have a great weekend!

On Monday, March 20, 2023, @alexleestine303 and @heyamberhinds performed a live accessibility audit of @pmproplugin . Watch the recap. This meetup is made possible by our sponsor @EmpireCaption .

The 2023 WebAIM Million report is now available – https://webaim.org/projects/million/… Home pages had 50 detectable errors (down from 50.8). WCAG failures were found on 96.3% of pages (down from 96.8%). Home page elements increased 10% and ARIA attributes 29% (77 per page!) in the last year.

There’s been a lot of questions about how WordPress could help developers handle block interactivity in the frontend. This work and demo manages to tick a lot of crucial boxes and makes me very excited about the possibilities ahead. Check it out! https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/03/30/proposal-the-interactivity-api-a-better-developer-experience-in-building-interactive-blocks/…

Single-page WordPress with native SSR support? Yes! This new proposal may make it a reality. Now it’s all in your hands – your feedback will determine what happens next. Go ahead and comment!

Why jazz?

Yes to the Interactive API for #WordPress blocks.

The Interactivity API is one of the most interesting proposals for WordPress frontend UX & DX that I’ve seen in awhile:

Added TODAY for your daily #WordPress news consumption: – Get reaction/info from the WP 6.2 release. Too many to mention here. – Podcasts: @wpbuilds – Posts: @Barn2Plugins @missionmikedev @gutenberghub – Tweets/Mastodon posts! Weekend! Almost there!

In personal news.. I’m happy to report after 19 Years, 2 Months, 3 Weeks, and 1 Day since starting our company, which eventually became @Pagely I’ve handed off the reigns and will begin my retirement shortly. Now available for podcasts.

#WordPress is more than just a CMS; it is about COMMUNITY! Have you seen another community where so many people come together to contribute to an #OpenSource project with such dedication and enthusiasm?

Thrilled to be one of the Noteworthy Contributors for the 6.2 release (my 4th time). It was amazing to be part of the 6.2 release squad on the Docs team. Thx to my awesome Docs co-leads @DjevaLoperka , @bph , & @NonStopNewsUK

New WP Search with Algolia Pro released! Now supports WooCommerce and more advanced control over what content is indexed vs. not. The roadmap we have ahead is very exciting!

Together with @webdevstudios , we are excited to announce the new premium version of WP Search with Algolia. We call it WP Search with Algolia Pro. Check out this new #WordPress #plugin built for #enterprise and #eCommerce, with #WooCommerce support.

We’re entering a new era in WordPress where the success of your project is less about the big, bulky themes and plugins you’ve traditionally used. You can do so much with the design tools now available by default, if you spend the time to learn how to wield them efficiently.

WordPress 6.2 has landed! Here’s everything you need to know about the latest release of WordPress…

I don’t agree that’s the exact same pricing strategy, at least not for plugins I manage or see. Discounting renewals at 40% is a losing strategy for WP plugins in my experience.

I am soo excited the WordPress 6.2 has been release. This release contains many performance improves. 6.2 is faster than 6.1 with more functionality. That is pretty amazing. The performance team is working on a write on these improves that you should see in next week or so.

I also made it to the list again, by “just” participating in a constructive discussion on an issue on GitHub.

And just like that (not really, it takes hundreds of people), a new version of WordPress is available. It’s a massive team effort. I was privileged to be part of it and contribute to the open web. Thank you @XWP for sponsoring my time as the release coordinator.

Installed today’s new WordPress version 6.2, and I ADORE the experience of using the combination of the distraction-free and full-screen modes in the Block Editor.

There are 617 total contributors to WordPress 6.2 with 179 first-time contributors. 30 releases ago WordPress 3.3 had 180 total contributors. The WordPress contributor community grows with each and every release

This weeks Veterans in Tech is about Edmund Dunn ( @edmund_dunn ). Edmund was a Russian linguist and analyst for the US Army for 20 years.

The curse of experience is that sometimes you forget that what’s common sense for you today is someone else’s “Aha!” moment. I wonder how often in #WordPress we forget what it’s like to be doing something for the first time. In the product, community and companies.

1. When was the last time you could not find a block for something in WordPress? 2. What block did you need? 3. Did you end up building a custom block or installing a plugin to solve it?

#WordPress 6.2 is expected to be released TOMORROW (March 28) We have been closely monitoring the development and trying out new features on our test sites Check our video for a sneak peek into what features are coming, with details & screenshots: https://wpbeg.in/3nnL1o7

Say you wanted a tutorial on how to use ACF PRO’s ( @wp_acf ) Clone field. What would you include, not include, or any ideas?

I just used #chatgpt4 to create a #wordpress plugin that will generate a temporary passwordless login url that expires after 48 hours. GPT then offered five additional feature recs. I was quoted ~$2,000 from WordPress devs to build this out for me.

I’m more interested in replies than the poll. Because I could’ve added accessibility, performance, “cleaning up old tix” although I think these should be a part of ANY phase and not waiting years or even months. Why add AI? Wildcard. This is a couple years from now after all.

Question for #WordPress folks: The #Gutenberg project has 4 phases… but if you had to add a FIFTH phase what would you make the single overall theme (knowing the phase would still be years away)?

6 things that make the WordPress community awesome: 1) Open-source philosophy 2) Inclusivity 3) Supportive network 4) Continuous development 5) Smarts and creativity 6) Business opportunities

What opportunities do you see to further grow and foster the WordPress community?

So based on a conversation I had with a plugin developer in the AMA this morning, I’m thinking some educational content around “why you can’t do the PHP things you are used to doing in JS, and how you can work around that” is needed. Examples, how to tri…

A friend of mine upgraded a WordPress installation, and it started throwing errors. He couldn’t figure it out, so he handed the error message to “his friend” GPT-4, which told him how to fix the PHP code to stop it from breaking. The world has shifted and it’s not going back.

I’m working on a stack for a composable DXP based on WordPress. These are the plugins that GPT thinks are a must-have.
