WordPress community in Kerala state #WCKerala

Recent work project on a WordPress+Next.js+Kubernetes+CDN setup: when WP post gets updated, trigger ISR in Next.js page cache for all pods, then clear CDN for those pages. Thinking of writing a blog post, but before I do… is this even a topic of interest for anyone?

Have you heard of @post_status ? It is one of the most helpful communities of WordPress business owners that I have found. I just got a ton of really helpful advice about how we can improve our dev job posting. I love how open and giving the WordPress community is.

So many great things that are coming in 6.2 – Save Styles Globally – Style Book – Flex stretch alignment – block variations in theme.json – Settings/Styles Tabs – Copy/Paste block styles – Custom CSS in the editor Not to mention the amount of bug fixes and perf stuff

If you’re a WordPress product company or agency, you can reserve your username as well. It’s a great way to organize + share your code snippets with users. Here’s an example of @aioseopack profile: https://library.wpcode.com/profile/aioseo/ We’re building the Dribbble for WordPress Pros.

I love the work our team at WPCode ( @wpcodelibrary ) is doing. We just released Public Profiles for Developers to boost their personal brand. You can showcase your public snippets, # of downloads for your WordPress snippets, and a VERIFIED badge 🙂 https://wpcode.com/public-profiles-for-wpcode-snippet-authors-build-your-personal-brand-today/…

“More ways to manage menus” – considering I haven’t been able to figure out how to manage menus with block themes in the current version of WordPress, yes, this caught my attention.

Where the site editor & FSE absolutely shines is with setting up templates for post types Building out individual pages is fairly time consuming still at the moment on this current build but I’ve just set up a post template in minutes practically! No php, no custom fields

Despite of it innovating, I find me and my clients moving away from EDD to WooCommerce in an accelerated rate. Just me or do you see the same?

All of the above is true, no doubt. But customers are also long past tired of the constant pointing of fingers between vendors. Let’s remember the driver (from the customer side) of why they’re embracing consolidation – “one throat to choke.”

Client is frustrated with MailChimp. Has 400k list. What are good options at that scale that aren’t crazy expensive?

“When we did our first WordCamp we tried to have ticket cost as low as possible (INR 300 ($4.72US) or pay more if you’d like) to allow anyone to afford it. ( WC Mumbai to date has the lowest Avg. ticket price per day among WordCamps in India ).” – @gounder

Very interesting

“Will WordPress coding become obsolete in a few years with advanced AI?” Nah, I don’t think so. I think AI will be the perfect rubber duck, the guidance, the idea bringer, the code validator. In other words, your partner, not your programmer. Agree or disagree?

Does your caching plugin support wp_cache_get_multiple? This function was added in WordPress 5.5 & requires caching plugins to opt into it. This function adds some serious performance if you are running object caching and surprisingly some of the biggest plugins do not support it

WordPress plugin owners, what’s your take on white labelling your product? An agency owner reached out asking if I offer SliceWP as a white label product. They want to bundle it in their service and have the plugin rebranded with their assets. I’m leaning towards a big no.

Oh yea. I wrote a post for internal engineering team to encourage them to continually seek to improve their writing habits; and they thought it was good enough for external sharing. Pretty neat.

/r/ProWordPress: Who is WordPress now for? Interesting discussion on Reddit:

There’s now #WordPress 20th birthday swag on the official store. I am hoping for a more straightforward t-shirt with the #WP20 logo.

“In tech, there’s a lot of money. We wondered why not every company was supporting local initiatives. We found that many of those initiatives don’t have a site. No-one knows about them. That’s what we want to solve with Groundbreaker” Leoni Rossberg says. #CloudFest #WordPressDay

“We asked our community what they’re looking for in a host. And these are the results.” @VitoPeleg showing that agencies want their hosts to support them well. #CloudFest #WordPressDay

Hey WordPress Buddies– How many of you using EDD – Easy Digital Downloads for selling your plugins and themes or other digital items? If you are using any different one then please comment, so that we can know the mechanisms.

If you’re building custom #WordPress themes in the agency world, you’re probably not using block themes or full site editing. And that’s fine. A quick on why you should be looking into “hybrid” themes instead.
