Most of my web development work is done through WordPress. I’ve built hundreds of little WordPress plugins, and dozens of scratch-made sites. At this point, I’ve modified nearly every corner of WordPress at some point since I started using it in 2009.

Hey. You. It’s going to be okay.
In the worst case scenario, WordPress won’t just evaporate overnight, and probably won’t at all. You will have time to pivot if you need to.
We’re a smart, scrappy, and highly resourceful bunch.
Close socials. This isn’t good for any of us.

A possible alternative solution for those sites hosted at WP Engine. It might be possible to replicate the updater on the client side.
It’s 4AM where the author’s at. If you’re awake and looking, maybe try it? Contribute some feedback?

If you’re running an agency, this is a great time to show your value if you have maintenance clients on WordPress.
Communicate early. Communicate often. Your clients will take immense value in knowing someone is watching their back right now.

In case you happen to find yourself in a position to suddenly need to update plugins in a manual fashion…

Can someone recommend a good intermediate #Laravel course? Asking for a friend 😅. #WordPress

It’s insane to me that .org powers are unilaterally being used for .com problems. This is a line I never thought I’d see get crossed so brazenly.

With some clever filters in my server, I can now use the WordPress app to reply to posts. It’s a little awkward since I have to copy the link, but still…a step in the right direction.
This post explores how I’ve added enhancements to my site to better-integrate with the Fediverse, and also how I’m using the Mastodon app to publish content direct to my WP site (!)
Alex Standiford
Holy shit. There’s a plugin that allows you to publish on your blog using Mastodon apps. You can now publish content on your WordPress site directly through the mastodon app. This is HUGE for mobile experience.

So I have some questions about the state of the fediverse on WordPress.
Is it possible to migrate my Mastodon’s followers/following to my WordPress site (assuming I’m using it as an ActivityPub source)
Is it possible to actually follow people and get some kind of feed, interacting with that account with other users?
I think the answer is still solidly “no” to both of those, but it would be good to get some context on how people are dealing with this today.
