We need a system of shame for plugin developers who take features that were free and lock them away in the paid version. How you gonna "update" your plugin by making it worse? How desperate does that make you look that you can't innovate something that adds value so you feel you have no choice but to do a takebackskies. 🤮

Hey guys,

we are two devs who built a free & open source image optimization plugin (GPLv2): neoOptimize

• WP Plugin Directory: https://wordpress.org/plugins/neo-optimize/
• Code on GitHub: https://github.com/neo-wp/neowp-plugins

Most image resizing plugins downsize your original image files to some fixed size and you lose the original data forever. We wanted to keep the originals (similar to non-destructive editing).

So we built a small free/open-source plugin that tries to solve this by leaving your images as-is and copying a resized version into the cache folder. The image size is determined by the exact size the image is used on your site.

updated PHP and WordPress versions yesterday, and now when I go to my website it's going to a standard WordPress holding page instead of my blog page. The settings in reading are all correct.

when I go to edit the page directly in WordPress it also lists the correct URL. for some reason WordPress is deciding to send users to this home.html file instead of my page and I can't get my head around why.

I watched a video on youtube by darrel wilson about integrating claude and wordpress to design websites (using elementor as the page builder which is the builder I am familiar with ), and he suggested his own theme (solace) in this workflow, I usually work with astra or blocksy and I am not really familiar with his theme, did any of you guys use it before and have live websites using this theme ?

I'm using this library so that users of my plugin can install extensions that are hosted in the plugins repo with a couple clicks. However, it is unreliable: it works in 99% of the cases but it does not work on some environments. In some i get the error: "The plugin does not have a valid header" and I just cannot debug this.

Is there a modern successor to the TGM Plugin Activation library?
