How do you keep track of who you need to get back to? What works for you, and what tends to slip through?

Final release is aiming for December 8, 2026.

Here's the list of changes:

As a block editor user, I like the more consistent icons, faster admin and better client side media processing support. I still don't know a single person that uses the notes feature though. I also still wish we could set custom viewports for the new responsive settings... maybe one day. The secrets API seems like a great idea too, idk why it took this long.

Overall looks like a solid update to me. Thoughts?

A shared product link usually gets its title and description from page metadata. The og:image is separate. If that image is just the product photo, the sale may not be visible in the image.

FastOG for WooCommerce generates product images with the current price, original price, and calculated savings. The Black Friday template is included in the permanent free Community tier, which covers up to 100 store items. Paid plans are optional for more coverage and templates.

It uses sample data; the “before” is an illustrative mockup.

I’m the developer of FastOG. The plugin is on WordPress.org. Would you show the discount, the sale price, or both in your product image?

Looks like this could be a nasty one- be prepared to update your PHP installations (or ask your host to). If previous incidents are anything to go by, exploits will be in the wild not long after the patches are released.

The PHP security team would like to give advance notice of an upcoming security release.
It is scheduled for Wednesday, 21 October 2026 at 14:00 UTC.
It addresses two critical vulnerabilities, both rated CVSS v4.0 9.2.
All PHP users are encouraged to prepare now so they can upgrade as soon as the release is available.
We reserve the right to release earlier should details of either vulnerability become public, or should evidence of active exploitation appear in the wild.
Full details, affected versions, and the fixed versions will be published with the release.

We put a summary of what we know (so far) together for our customers, but it might be helpful here too- https://prostack.uk/blog/critical-php-security-update-october-2026/

I have images for a WooCommerce site that are very wide but not tall, like 1200 x 400.

Google Product Feed is telling us that the images need to be at least 500x500. Is it possible resize so the whole width is maintained. So that whitespace is added to the height so the images are square?

Is this a thing? I saw an agency refer to themselves this way. I think they mean the 'Automattic for Agencies' partnership but I'm not sure if the 'Pro Partner' is part of this, or they are making this up to try and sound impressive. It seems the 'Automattic for Agencies' is just a referral and discount scheme for using the .com platform. Does anyone know anything about this?

So, We were using the wordpress dashboard to edit our website and make changes. We kept on getting a warning that our php 7.1 or was 7.3 was expiring so we started updating the plugins when we updated the plugin elementor it kicked us out and we can't access our wordpress accounts. It says its been sent to an admin email which we don't know. It keeps on saying critical error and instructions have been sent to the Admin Email. When I search my own account on wordpress it says the user doesn't exist while if i load my website it still shows me the email and I'm logged in and also says edit with elementor but whenever you click any of those at the top it gives you that error

Hey everyone,

I'm Hamza. I've been building Resolai for a while and it's now on the WordPress org plugin directory featured section. This is my one promo post so I'll keep it useful.

What it does

Resolai adds a chat widget to your site. It's backed by an AI agent that reads your pages, posts and PDFs, then answers visitors' questions from that content. Under each reply, visitors can see which pages it used, so they can check the answer themselves.

Why I built it

Most chatbot plugins I tried had one of three problems. They locked you into a monthly SaaS plan, sent every chat through their own servers, or gave confident answers that weren't on the site at all. I wanted something that runs inside WordPress, uses your own AI key and stays grounded in your content.

What's free

• The AI agent, trained on your site content
• Your choice of model through OpenRouter, including DeepSeek, GPT, Claude,
• Voice dictation, so visitors can speak their question
• Shows the sources behind each answer
• Every widget text can be translated
• A dashboard with all your conversations
• No messages or chats limit

You pay OpenRouter directly for what you use, with no markup from us. On a a typical small site spends very little.

What's paid

There's an optional Premium version with a WooCommerce skill (product, cartve nudges, a required email before chat and EU data routing. The free version isn't a trial. It works on its own.

I'd really like honest feedback, especially from people who have tried other chatbot plugins. What made you uninstall them? What would make you trust an AI answering your visitors?

Happy to answer anything in the comments.

For nearly 5 months, our LinkedIn to CRM extension Ln2CRM has been on prod and is often named as the best value for money among competitors. It is compatible with HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, Zoho, and now with Capsule.

You can judge it yourself - what you get for $16 monthly (or $13 on the yearly package):

- Saving of profiles (as leads or contacts), companies, creation of deals with 1 tap w/o leaving LinkedIn;

- Auto sync of messages;

- Email enrichment + you can bring your key to make it waterfall;

- On-page CRM presence badge - see if you have a person in CRM or if they changed the job or role, with suggestions and auto-update;

- Ability to see all the history from the CRM and change all the fields;

- Ability to add notes (even voice-to-text), tasks (create and close them);

- AI commenting, messaging (based on the context of CRM history with the person), auto-inserting templates.

- Hyper flexibility - hide features or buttons you don't need, change colors, dark mode

Competitors with a similar feature set cost x2-x4. In case you don't need bulk enrichment or some fancy 'sales signals', give it a try. There is a free tier as well - enough for occasional work with LI.

We don't gatekeep any feature for high-tier packages as well. You have it all on free. The only limits are different.

As AI becomes more powerful it feels like human relationships become more and more important

So it’s weird to me that CRMs still feel so shitty? Static ish databases that doesn’t actually move relationships forward?

I’ve wanted to build my own personal CRM for a while and as I’ve started to collect deals just a database isn’t cutting it anymore.

Would love to open a discussion to see what people think the next evolution of a CRM becomes? Whether is professional or personal, it feels like with agents with more context this becomes so much more useful

I know there’s been some automation features, for email etc but I also can’t help to cringe at the purely transactional nature of CRMs and these newer age “network” tools.
