Badly coded plugins + random snippets = slow, unstable WordPress.

Which plugin has caused you the biggest headache?

Why WordPress Core needs more blocks - Gutenberg Times There's an open discussion on whether Core WordPress should include more blocks in its toolkit. This opinion piece explores why they are important for the future of the platform.

Should WordPress Core should ship with more blocks by default? @justintadlock.bsky.social makes a strong case....

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 πŸ₯Ή for the help from your end.

Now we wait… 😬

A WC template in a theme. all sorted now anyway. Thanks πŸ™

Figured it out! πŸŽ‰ Turns out you can filter get_block_templates to remove specific WooCommerce templates when WooCommerce isn’t 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. :)

We always use @cloudflare.social $10.44 for .com with security thrown in for free. What’s not to like?

No plugins, just WP CLI and a script. Off to 3 places for backup with different retention.

Meet Studio Sync for WordPress.com Studio now offers a free Sync feature to effortlessly sync between local WordPress sites with WordPress.com.

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?

06.01.2025 16:21 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

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. Curiousβ€”will users or developers drive this change?

06.01.2025 15:08 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Tough one πŸ€”. Depends on development for those themes I suppose. We're 100% in on block themes and only supporting bug fixes & security of classic themes.

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.
