So I went on the @wpbuilds.com podcast (thanks for having me)😅
If you want to know a little bit about Search & Filter and how it came to be you can check it out below 👇

The Bricks 2.0 release is looking slick 🔥
I think now would be a good time to mention something we've been cooking - a very tight integration with Search & Filter 🥳
This integration has been built on top of Bricks 2.0 and won't be compatible with earlier versions.
Release is imminent ⏰
If anyone wants to advocate for better search results when you're using the exact name of a plugin, this is where to do it meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2642
It's here! v1.20 of Turbo Admin for #WordPress is rolling out through auto updates in your browser.
It has the mythical plugin installs and user switching in the command palette. And it's great!!
Read all about it:

And see it in action...
% gateway sales via PayPal and Stripe over the years. 2025 - Stripe 76% / PayPal 24% 2024 - Stripe 73% / PayPal 27% 2023 - Stripe 61% / PayPal 39% 2022 - Stripe 53% / PayPal 47% 2021 - Stripe 50% / PayPal 50% 2020 - Stripe 47% / PayPal 53%
I noticed over the last few years a drop off in transactions via PayPal - today I thought I'd look at the stats!
Over half of sales were via PayPal back in 2020 (the highest point was 60% in 2017) and now they're down to 24%.
I wonder if this is going to decline even further
Nothing like dogfooding your own product 😅
We've just relaunched our new documentation section powered by Search & Filter Pro ™️
searchandfilter.com/documentation/
Honestly, using our own plugin for our documentation uncovered so many tiny little issues - it was totally worth doing for that alone.
Yeah it's been an odd day, made the most of it though by going to the beach, park, and sitting on a terrace.
Forgot to say the oddest thing was no traffic lights! People have been incredibly civilised though from what I saw 😁
Missing electricity for 9 hours makes you appreciate it when it comes back on (fridge, WiFi, mobile network, lifts!)
I saw some people stuck in a building because the electronic doors wouldn't open..
Crazy that 2 whole countries have been without power for most of the day

Ok this worked out great last time, let's see if it works again!
I'm looking for another support engineer for my WordPress plugin - Search & Filter - fully remote.

Very jealous!
Love the RATM quote
Here is the repo, used AI to rush through most of it this morning 😅

Haha no not at all, it's easier than you might think.
Something I noticed a while back was the deactivate links usually have the correct link, but plugins hijack them with JS, so it's a case of hijacking that and redirecting the href.
And the link is usually wrapped in a 'deactivate' class.
I'm back remediating #WordPress #accessibility live on YouTube today! After the trouble last time blocking my ability to make progress and requiring redoing work, I have catching up to do! Tune in at 11 AM central to see what I can fix in 60 minutes. #a11y #livestream
Haha I won't rule it out...!
I think these popups annoy devs the most who are constantly disabling and enabling plugins, I'm guessing end users are not so bothered by them
Tired of those annoying plugin deactivation popups??
I've got just the tool for you, a little chrome extension - let me know if you want a copy 😅

#WordPress #Blocksy #Update
Are you developing or maintaining a WordPress plugin that registers multiple block types? Then you probably benefit from using the new `wp_register_block_types_from_metadata_collection()` function that is added in WordPress 6.8.

#WordPress people, do you know of a simple solution that will allow you to set up content update reminders?
E.g. "Remind me in 30 days to update this policy"
or
"Remind me every year on [date] to update this post"
Do you mean to sell the plugin as in the business? I guess it's difficult without having made any sales, you could ask for more regardless once you prove viability and launch the pro version + make some sales.
This sounds like a tough challenge!
Autogenerate code showing the comment: // Only proceed if the current user has sufficient permissions Followed by: if ( is_admin() ) { Which is not a valid way to check the current user has sufficient permissions
Watch out fellow LLM users, `is_admin()` does NOT check if the user is an admin 😅😉
#wordpress
I’m about to do an official post on the blog for this, but did you know almost any WordPress developer can write for the dev blog? In particular there are four topics that could use your help, that dive into React, query_vars, testing and one other I’m forgetting.
Join us LIVE for the 'This Week in #WordPress' show. It's fun, and we'd love your comments! Starts at 9am NY time.

Yeah it's a shame, there were a few weeks where it seemed like it might take off over here but it's gone v quiet lately
