    I’ve successfully managed to put together a pretty darn good MVC framework with PHPNomad, with the help of a few platform-agnostic PHP libaries. I got Siren to run on it, too! Over a weekend I was able to make a WordPress plugin built with PHPNomad run on its own server, completely outside of WordPress. It went well enough that I bet most plugins that are built with PHPNomad it could run on a microservice that doesn’t depend on WordPress at all in a month or two.

    Oh so the new flavors of WordPress will use different plugin repositories. Got it.

    You know it’s bad when I’m turning to my personal Facebook feed because it’s literally the only place that isn’t drowning in WordPress.

    Funny how I escaped from that drivel to WordPress, and now it feels like a sort of online sanctuary right now. Life is funny.

    Sandy Shares Her Success With Community Building At Bluehost

    I had a great chat with Sandy Edwards at Bluehost about how to run a tailored affiliate program for a specific audience. In Sandy’s case, this program is built specifically for agency owners.

    Who’s gonna step in and organize the future of WordPress dot org? How can we as a community actually…initiate something like that? I fear a lack of unity in a time where I think we really need it most.

    Just a friendly reminder, y’all. Laraberg does exist.

    Please WordPress people – keep custom logic that is not theme-specific out of your themes. It really matters as that project grows.

    Even if you dump it in a single file plugin, that’s way better. Pretend its’ functions.php, I don’t care – just keep it out of the theme 🙏🙏🙏

    I’m on a mission to get social media off of my phone, but I still want to be able to publish content. I don’t want to consume on my phone though.

    I think if I can get a Twitter cross poster working reliably, my site plus the WordPress app can get me there.

    Finding myself increasingly interested in updating my site so that it maps post formats to post types. So if you set a post format, it saves it as a mapped post type.

    I think that would give me all of the benefits of multiple post types, but still make it possible to use post types in the mobile app. This would make it a lot easier to filter post types since you don’t have to use a tax query.
