Ever wanted to store your Contact Form 7 submissions in https://tablepress.org? The free version of Controls for Contact Form 7 will get that in early January.
p.s. the feature is ready but I just didn't want to risk accidental regressions before the holidays.
Does anyone know why the site-editor (at wp-admin/site-editor.php?postType=page&postId=2&canvas=edit) doesn't return the post meta with `useEntityProp( 'postType', postType, 'meta' );` when editing a page?

If you want to learn about strategies to solve this, I'm developing an online video course that will help you understand the internal workings and best practices of reliable development environments. Leave your email address at https://wpelevator.com to get notified when it launches.

The intent of wp-env is definitely to streamline the "getting started" phase but it does come with some serious limitations when you want to develop a truly reliable development environment.
The wp-env local development environment prefers to bundle things like WP core, plugins and even the PHPUnit testing library. This leads to all these files being hidden from your editor which prevents proper debugging. Even a mapping in .wp-env.json doesn't expose those internal directories to the host machine.

There is a schemas.wp.org domain which redirects to the relevant version of the schema file in the Gutenberg repository https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/tree/trunk/schemas such as:
– https://schemas.wp.org/trunk/block.json
– https://schemas.wp.org/trunk/theme.json
– https://schemas.wp.org/trunk/wp-env.json
VS Code supports this out of the box https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/json#_json-schemas-and-settings
Did you know that WordPress theme.json, block.json and other *.json files have their reference schema files which allow your code editor to autocomplete and lint the syntax? Simply add a $schema element to the top of the JSON content and let the editor do the job.
What’s the typical spending limit for engineering leaders on a single tool or subscription before needing an approval? Curious how this applies in the WordPress space. A range is fine, too!
Today I released an update to Controls for Contact Form 7 plugin which helps you with submission analytics, redirects and various other features that are normally configurable only through code. Get it here: https://formcontrols.com

DKIM is a wonderful technology that is much easier to setup than companies want you to believe. Get reliable email delivery without paying a monthly fee for an SMTP service.
My wife launched a knitting notebook yesterday and the order confirmation emails all went to spam. I quickly built a WordPress plugin that signs all outgoing emails with DKIM. Today all mail has 100% delivery!
Turns out the wp_template post type in WP core doesn't register support for post meta so we can't store any SEO meta for the homepage template in the full-site editor, for example. Does anyone know if this was intentional?
How is it possible that additional images for product variations is a paid $59/year add-on in WooCommerce? https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-additional-variation-images/
This is such a basic feature. It should be in the core plugin.
Ever wanted a cool domain for local development — use *.wpenv.net which point to 127.0.0.1.

The reason I've been learning to use Safari as my primary browser for the past few month. While blocking third-party cookies does complicate some of the SSO stuff, it is a very good thing for the majority of users.
Did you know that Cloudflare supports cache tagging? This is similar to surrogate keys in Varnish and Fastly. Super powerful for contextual cache invalidation. And it seems to be available for all plans.
