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.

See: https://developers.cloudflare.com/cache/how-to/purge-cache/purge-by-tags/

Is this how PHP would look if we embraced React syntax and concepts? 😂 Example by ChatGPT.

Is there a solution to enable separate wp_users tables on WordPress multisite? The intended use-case is a SaaS platform where each customer gets their own isolated WP instance.

The trac ticket from 14 years ago doesn't give any pointers https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/15467

Here is WP admin rendering the multisite switcher dropdown. It needs to load the site name from each of the options tables.

Did you know that Safari on desktop doesn't support keyboard navigation to checkboxes, radios and buttons by default? I was checking accessibility of the updated Two Factor plugin settings page and it would simply jump over inputs… so strange. https://www.tempertemper.net/blog/how-to-use-the-keyboard-to-navigate-on-safari

Full changelog: https://github.com/WordPress/two-factor/releases/tag/0.10.0

Version 0.10.0 of the Two Factor plugin was released yesterday. It includes a bunch of improvements:

– The updated plugin header should make it easier to find when searching for 2fa, totp, etc.

– Improved accessibility and simplified UI of the user profile settings.

– Proper uninstall support that removes all plugin options and user meta values.

“Code that runs on the server can be fully costed. [..] Code that runs on the client, by contrast, is running on The Devil's Computer.” — an amazing article by Alex Russell on the complexities of front-end frameworks.

Due to posting mostly home automation and hardware content recently I've completely lost all traffic for WordPress keywords to my personal site 😅

Refactored the Update Pilot client plugin to have dedicated license key fields for each plugin even if they use the same UpdateURI hostname. Also added an update check button to help check if you actually need a key for that particular plugin.

@janboddez Got it, thanks! Totally makes sense!

Here is the plugin that was last updated 9 years ago: https://wordpress.org/plugins/peters-blog-url-shortcodes/

I've been using Peter’s Blog URL Shortcodes in WP for links in post content to ensure they stay consistent with any permalink changes. Do you use anything similar? I would love to build something that works well with the block editor — adding these custom block "bits" whenever adding a link.

@janboddez Is this going to impact your WP plugins?
