I have some wonderful memories of our times together at #WordCamp. Rest well www.waterspowellfh.com/obituary/Eli...

You can now support #WPLDN through GitHub Sponsors www.wpldn.uk/2026/04/you-...
There's no minimum. No obligation. Just a way to help keep something going that I think is worth keeping.

So for the first time, we're asking the community directly. If #WPLDN has ever been useful to you, whether that's a talk that changed how you approach projects, a connection that led to work, or a Thursday evening where you felt like you belonged, you can now support the event via GitHub Sponsors
Sponsors who've supported community events for years are redirecting budgets, and that's not a criticism; it's just where the industry is right now.

For me, #WPLDN has always been a thing of passion. A way to give back to the #WordPress community. But we need to find an alternative, sustainable financial model for it.

#WPLDN has always been built by its community
Speakers, volunteers, & everyone who turns up on a Thursday evening. Now, if you'd like to, you can support the event financially too
No minimum, no obligation. If you've ever got something out of #WPLDN, then this is a way to help keep it going
It looks like someone is scraping the #WCEU attendee page and reaching out via email trying to sell info. Just a reminder, the WCEU team did not and will NEVER share any attendee info with third parties. If you get an email, it’s a scam. Don't engage and stay safe.
For just $300, your company can be featured in front of thousands of #WordPress focused attendees.
Only TWO days left to register.
This is a must for all #WordPress professionals.
I'm not clear if this is the best way to approach this.
Or should I use `is_block_theme()` in PHP, then access it via something like the following in JS:
const isBlockTheme = window.isBlockThemeActive ?? false;
`useSetting( 'spacing.margin' )` will return the Core-supported margin config if the theme supports it (via theme.json)
If it returns undefined or false, it means margin is not supported
So I can then manually render custom settings in BoxControl inside ToolsPanelItem so margin is still editable
Can anyone share docs or best practices in relation to building blocks in a plugin that require a "margin" setting, that will work in both classic & block themes? I'm trying to use WordPress UI components for a consistent UX.
The next post is my current thinking:

Proud of my nephew getting his debut for #CRFC first team yesterday. He's been at the club since he could hold a ball. Rugby has helped instil such positive values in him.
Nice little #WCEU addition in the car there!
I highly recommend catching up on this #WPLDN session if you're building or maintaining a product. Thanks for the insight @aarondcampbell.com

Where's that last decade gone?
I do appreciate a train conductor with a sense of humour "we're now arriving in the quaint little fishing village on the River Themes" #WPLDN
