    Use Herd with WP, AI fixing Security + thanks.dev

    There it is, number 150. This basically means I’ve done a weekly WordPress newsletter for about 3 years (it’s been longer because I took long breaks 😅). To celebrate this milestone, I’ve moved over everything Within WordPress to a separate domain, as well as introduced a new branding and logo. Read all about it here…

  • It’s Live!

    As of today, the Within WordPress podcast & newsletter lives on its own domain. There’s still a lot of fine-tuning to do. Some of the fine-tuning is just words, some of it is implementing the new branding assets more. Which, by the way, were created by Agnieszka Palmowska from FreshPixels. I highly recommend working with her. I…

    Woo 75% Faster, WP Day at CloudFest & Find Large Images!

    As we’re preparing for the first Beta of WordPress 6.8 to drop next week, it’s been somewhat of a quiet week. That in no way means there’s not much to share in this 149th edition of the Within WordPress newsletter, though 😊. Don’t you worry. I got plenty of good stuff for you. So, let’s…

    Cold Turkey Switch to FSE, bcrypt for WP 6.8 + MCP POC

    You know what I’ve learned twice in between sending this and the previous newsletter? I can’t count. Last week wasn’t number 148, it was 147. And, when moving over my podcasts to a separate YouTube channel for Within WordPress (← correct link this time, btw) I noticed I screwed up the number there as well.…

    Faster Woo, and New and Improved GenerateBlocks & WPGraphQL

    And just like that, we’re mid-February already! Is time flying for you faster as well as you age? It’s catching me off guard all the time 😅 It’s been a calm week in the world of WordPress, but we did see WordPress 6.7.2 finally being released, plus two big releases of two very different WordPress…

    Reports, White Papers, PressConf, 8G Updates & Webinars You Want

    Happy Friday to you! Although, I should probably say Happy Friday/Saturday/Sunday/Monday, as not all of you read this newsletter immediately 🙃. This 145th episode is filled with plenty of interesting tidbits and insights! First, though, I’m proud to announce I’ll be speaking at PressConf this April in Arizona. The entire event is going to be…

    DataStore Caching, HTML changes for 2025, Woo 9.6 & More

    It seemed quieter on the socials this past week. I guess this means everybody focussing on setting 2025 up to be the best year ever. Right? I mean, I sure am with everything I’ve got going on. And that’s a lot. That said, I still managed to collect a bunch of interesting WordPress tools, WooCommerce…
