These Big Mac copycat sliders hit the spot today. Much better than the Big Macs from McDonalds

It’s unfortunate that the WordPress tax as described here is likely something that can never be solved by WordPress core :( Kind of funny how we’ve gone full circle from static html sites, to dynamic php, back to static. Make up your minds :) perezbox.com/2026/03/why-...

First, I saw pretzels and mustard. Second, I saw the sodium count for the container. Third, I saw death. Fourth, I put them back. This is a new record for me for sodium in a product.

Looking for a WooCommerce POS plugin. Any suggestions? #WordPress

Over the years, there have been many complaints by developers wondering why they can't create simple blocks using only PHP. Wellp, better late than never. Have at it. make.wordpress.org/core/2026/03...

I have a hard time believing that many everyday users of WordPress are prompting their way through plugins, themes, and using the software. It seems like it’s a lot people than it is because of the bubble I’m in. I gotta keep reminding myself of this.

In the era of AI making changes to websites on a user’s behalf, staging sites have become more important than ever. If you’re not using them or some sort of version control, good god, what are you doing? Staging sites are no longer a play thing, they’re your main thing.

You built it. You stare at it every day. You know what it means, so your brain fills in the gaps. Your customers/users don’t. That’s why you need a fresh perspective. hirejeffc.me#auditing-pro...

This guy likes to get bed head after stretching out

Most WordPress events are plastered with sponsorships from Webhosting companies. An upcoming event that is focused on WooCommerce doesn't have any webhosting sponsors. If you're interested in being the premier sponsor for this event, get in touch with me.

I'm happy not be a software engineer or developer right now. The expectations of those people are now through the roof.

Finally made vegetable soup before the end of Winter. It’s so good.

Does anyone know how to remove people from a Freemius-powered affiliate program? All I see are options to make them inactive or block.

Ohio gets a bad rap, as it should. But Kansas would like to let you know they're a bunch of fuckwads as well www.kansascity.com/news/politic...

Does anyone know of a product for WordPress that provides multilingual captions for images?

A valiant effort with important lessons learned. But kudos to them for knowing when to stop. Buy in from one or two large web hosts could have made a difference, but they’re willing to put up with the status quo as long as it’s generating them revenue joost.blog/fair-wordpre...

WordPress 7.0 will ship with a new admin style that will be enabled by default. All product owners should test WordPress 7.0 to check for any visual issues with their products and the new admin style. Or, you can just hire me to do it for you. hirejeffc.me/rent-me/

What happens when humans become a bottleneck of progress in an agentic world?

Confusion between WordPress . Org and .com does not exist 😬 Seen in a Facebook group today.

This seems relevant these days www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0b_...

I've got my window open and my phone leaning on the screen playing a long video of katydid and cricket sounds. I think I hacked Winter.

Lmao

My wife and I used to go out to new places to eat, visit, and do whatever. The last few years, we’ve been in quite a rut. It’s mostly just stay home, attempt to work or find work, rinse, repeat. I don’t recommend this cycle to anyone. It sucks. And it’s boring AF

For years, the Recommended Hosting Page on Wp . org has been a lightning rod of controversy because of the lack of transparency in the criteria to be listed or delisted. I was repeatedly told that no money exchanges hands to be on that page. Welllllll... www.therepository.email/automattic-p...

After forcing myself to use it for a few weeks, I am fully on board with team Command Palette. Gotta use a keyboard shortcut (Command/CTRL + K) to access it on the dashboard, but it makes browsing to a specific page or post so much faster. wordpress.org/documentatio...

WP Accessibility Day is raising funds to host a large, highly visible Editor-level booth dedicated to WordPress accessibility at WordCamp Europe 2026. wpaccessibility.day/wceu-2026/

It’s pretty interesting being involved in product meetings with AI and vibe coding being hot topics. The tools make it extremely easy to turn ideas into reality, but the word of the year is “Purpose”. The amount of “Purpose” dictates whether the idea becomes reality or not.

Has anyone used uipress.co before? First time in a long time I've seen a WordPress Admin-specific theme

In a world where you can create software that has everything you need and nothing you don’t, the question that has to be answered is, why use WordPress? WordPress will ride on inertia for awhile, but what happens when the momentum runs out? Interesting times are ahead.

Since I started doing some contractual marketing work with FooPlugins.com, I've identified at least two new revenue-generating streams. One is close to being launched. The other is in the planning stages.

I have it on good authority that prices for FooPlugins' products are going up across the board at the end of this week. But if you purchase the FooPass Bundle before it happens, your price is locked in. It's the best bang for your bucks. fooplugins.com/foopass-bund...

Achievement unlocked. I finally got some hate mail. Been a long time. The fact that this was labeled as spam means Gmail is doing its job. Apparently, this angst has been going on for a decade. Political psychopathic nutjobs FTW! I think the last line is telling me to off myself?

For years, the WooCommerce community has asked for a dedicated in-person event after WooConf ended. Checkout Summit is designed to fill that gap and become the annual gathering for people who build, advise, and sell on top of WooCommerce. checkoutsummit.com

EtchWP 1.0 was launched the other day. I guess that means WordPress is saved from doom and gloom. etchwp.com/changelog/1-... some may even call Etch the Rapture of WordPress. I don’t know who, because that’s stupid lol.

Jeff's a good guy. If you're doing web products or apps he's got just the right balance of skills and human insight to do a great job. And he's been a communicator in the WordPress for as long as I remember.

Here's the deal, folks. I desperately need to make a mortgage payment, and only two clients would allow me to do that. You can pay me now, and you'll have me booked for whenever you need me this year. If I can't find any improvements, get your money back hirejeffc.me#auditing-pro...
