@mrjamesob.bsky.social Mystery Hour travel game purchased. Now Iβm looking forward to Christmas! π
Badly coded plugins + random snippets = slow, unstable WordPress.
Which plugin has caused you the biggest headache?
Should WordPress Core should ship with more blocks by default? @justintadlock.bsky.social makes a strong case....

Oh no. Such a shame, Iβve got a thing at that other thing going on. Really gutted π.
Great show. We listened on way to airport. Weβre also in Greece. Iβll wave if I see you (slim chance π) have a great holiday. βοΈ
"Can I Email?" is a great tool for email developers; see which email clients support layout, accessibility, performance, and internationalisation features - essential for building better, more inclusive emails. www.caniemail.com #EmailMarketing #Accessibility #a11y
Just to add, the twenty twenty five theme does this.
We add them in the patterns folder filename.php.
Then we add the pattern to the template. Works perfectly.
Wow. What a couple of months.
Tender submission for a large organisation, custom #WordPress block theme build for use on 30+ sites. Truly enterprise level stuff. Thanks to @wptuts.bsky.social and co π₯Ή for the help from your end.
Now we waitβ¦ π¬
That and obviously @colinfurze.bsky.social π
One of the very few YouTubers that actually give value.
Give him a sub and follow β€οΈ

This is all we need. The enterprise plan looks purrfect. π π€¦
A WC template in a theme. all sorted now anyway. Thanks π
Figured it out! π Turns out you can filter get_block_templates to remove specific WooCommerce templates when WooCommerce isnβt active.
Can you unregister a block template bundled in a block theme?
unregister_block_template() is aimed more for plugins afaik.
I need to unregister a WC template when WC is not activated. @briancoords.com @elliottrichmond.co.uk anyone?
Agree, and they make no markup on the domains either. :)
Still need to go there. Only 40 mins from Portsmouth. π€
Another day for the kids in half term sorted. βοΈ
We always use @cloudflare.social $10.44 for .com with security thrown in for free. Whatβs not to like?
No plugins, just WP CLI and a script. Off to 3 places for backup with different retention.
:)
The Studio app from @wordpress.com continues its slow march to becoming a full-featured local development app (and LocalWP competitor).

I tend to agree with you here! :) But as tools and themes become more user-friendly, could we see a shift where end users play a bigger role in adoption?
I think the shift depends on better tools, education, and demand for modern features. As block themes improve and classic themes lose support, adoption will likely accelerate. Curiousβwill users or developers drive this change?
Tough one π€. Depends on development for those themes I suppose. We're 100% in on block themes and only supporting bug fixes & security of classic themes.
Agree. Nothing can be achieved without coffee. Fact!

Amazing show. May have to watch again π€
While talking performance, @felixarntz.bsky.social mentioned that switching from a classic theme to a block theme can be one of the biggest boosts to your site's web vitals number.
One benefit of WP controlling the theme's frontend is they can continually improve it.

Ha. Maybe π€. Lol π
