What’s Buzzing in WordPress 💖
- 100th Issue Milestone… in no time The WP Weekly has reached its 100th issue. It has been an amazing journey sharing WordPress goodness and connecting with awesome folks in the community. If you like reading TheWPWeekly, then here is how you can Say N Share via Twitter and other ways (& get featured). Thanks!!!
- New Launches… how about copying and pasting content between two websites? Doubly is a new cross domain copy paste for WordPress websites, available as a free plugin. Also, rtCamp has launched the WP Plugin Compare website allowing you to compare different WordPress plugins on various parameters.
- Product Updates… WP Social Ninja 3.6.0 has added a testimonial module that allows manual input of testimonial contents for a nice display out of the box. Also, the NextGEN Gallery plugin has expanded print options like pearl prints, styrene backing, white matt, bamboo panel, and more for automated fulfillment.
Extended WordPress Buzz 🔥
- Big Surprise… Elementor has acquired Strattic, which specializes in headless and static WordPress websites. On the face of it, this looks surprising but is a logical fit to take hosted Elementor websites solution ‘Elementor Cloud’ to the next level by introducing static functionality, making them super quick and secure. And, here is a video on the WPTuts channel explaining it all.
- WP Ecosystem… a few points of view if Block Themes (Full Site Editing Themes) should get the same or more ‘priority’ in the WordPress themes repository. Also, understanding performance and scalability bottlenecks for performing load testing, here are parameters to look forward to via Convesio’s load testing process.
- Automation Updates… Uncanny Automator 4.0 has added new integrations for Google Calendar, Autonami by WooFunnels, and Fluent Support. While MailOptin now automatically sync MemberPress members to your email list or give them the option to subscribe during membership signup.
