One of the big things about deciding not to use an existing LMS and building something is I get to rethink the "norms" Why do Membership and LMS make WordPress users, what is the benefits. So wpsecurity101.com uses @auth0byokta.bsky.social to provide an authentication and session management.

This is a handy reference php-operators.com

Bit of a perfect storm, a misconfiguration causing WooCommerce sites to fatal, right during an uptick of really good phishing attack. Suddenly that "patch" makes sense after all you can't get in to WordPress admin area. If you have WooCommerce clients who manage their own sites, check in on them.

Sending out an email on a new email platform is always a scary feeling. Will it go into spam? Did the formatting look ok? Email is such a weird medium, its so hard to get right, but is also one of the most personal ways to connect. Now I wait and see if anyone opens the email!
