I’m officially starting to offer building custom MCP protocols to my clients 😱. So grateful that WordPress did the lifting with the abilities API.

Better Async Support in WordPress With PHPNomad + Action Scheduler
What’s Changed A sore spot in WordPress is background tasks. Yes, it’s been solved several times, but to this day, there’s still a fair bit of scaffolding that goes just into making it possible to do. That’s why I’m so excited that I’ve published a new update to PHPNomad’s WordPress integration to finally leverage the […]

Already making use of the notes feature in WordPress. When I do batches of pages, I like to build a template page that can be copied and re-used. Using notes to add intent behind each section.
This allows my copywriters to see where I was going with sections direct in the editor.

Putting together block patterns for Novatorius’ website today. I always skip this step, and regret it later. Not this time.

Just got off a really productive 1:1 call with a new Siren Affiliates customer. I showed them how to set up their programs in the way they want, and walked through how payouts works.
And as it happens, they were using Groundhogg. 🤔

Another feature coming to the Gravity Forms/Siren Affiliates integration – assigning an affiliate to a form. When that form is submitted, that affiliate can be configured to always get credit.
Great for building lead pages and forms dedicated to specific salespeople.

Just spent about 5 hours doing discovery work on everything I want to implement in my upcoming Gravity Forms integration with Siren.
That seems like a lot of time spent not coding, and even though I know better, I was so tempted to just skip this part and get right to coding. I’m really excited to finally break ground on forms plugins because there’s SO much Siren can do with them, so the urge to “get started” was really strong.
And WOW I’m glad I didn’t make that mistake. As I started researching, peeling back layers, and noting my findings, I discovered so many things that I had not considered in my initial conceptualization of this integration.
I would have definitely used up more than 5 hours doing rework, or worse yet, I would have written up a bunch of technical debt that would have slowed me down for more integrations in the future.
This just re-affirms my belief that the best place to start a project is a good ol’ fashioned Google Doc, NOT your code editor. -

Aaaand that’s it! This update is live!
Siren is all about running more intimate incentive programs, so it just made sense to have this capability baked-in, and I’m really glad it’s here. I’ve already found a couple of situations where I needed to use it.
Siren 2.1.0 adds some really nice, and highly-requested quality of life changes, and support for crediting collaborators with orders manually.
Quick down-and-dirty demo:

This will also enable you to create orders from integrations, and manually attribute sales. Super handy for sales teams using Siren to manage order attribution.
