John's Intro:
This is a value for value show and I look forward to everyone providing some value back.
Before I get started, you will want to hang around to the end of the show for our Q & A segment with Amber…. and to those listening on the podcast, you may want to check out the YouTube version which has some great discussions before the show starts…
Amber's Rant:
This is #28 of 52 episodes for 2022!
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and the trees are getting extra friendly with my face – allergies suck! Although luckily there's a lot you can do for your allergies, so that's a bonus. Still sucks though.
Hoping everyone is getting outside and getting that beautiful sunshine while it's here! It was late getting to us this year, so be sure to get out for extra hours this summer to make up for the lack!
Go be a kid.
We have some news from the world of WordPress for you today as well as some great plugins.
News this week:
WordPress Vulnerability Report – July 13, 2022 (https://ithemes.com/blog/wordpress-vulnerability-report-july-13-2022/) – We have a list of plugins to pay attention to this week, some of the ones I recognize are: Shortcode For Current Date, Copyright Proof, WordPress Popup, and Project Source Code Download. There are quite a few more, so be sure to check them out!
WordPress Themes Team contributors get pushback on proposal to improve Block Themes' Visibility in the Directory (https://wptavern.com/wordpress-themes-team-contributors-get-pushback-on-proposal-to-improve-block-themes-visibility-in-the-directory) – This is one of the ideas that the team put forth 7 weeks ago: possibility of changing the popular themes algorithm to more prominently feature block themes, and/or adding a new ‘Block' menu item next to Popular and Latest on the themes directory team.
The 94 available block themes represent fewer than 1% of the directory's 9,761 themes.
A good point made by one of the contributors is that to add a ‘Block' tab to Theme Directory filter will bring up the full-site-editing tag Themes as well, causing more confusion than it would be helping.
This is an ongoing issue that the WordPress Community is rather inflamed about.
WordPress Executive Director says 5% in Five for the Future Program is aspirational and Not Required (https://wptavern.com/wordpress-executive-director-says-5-in-five-for-the-future-program-is-aspirational-and-not-required) – The director was responding to a public criticism where the ‘Five for the Future's True Intentions' was called ‘toxic score keeping'. No, this is not required, though everyone who does put in get's a point, and those points are being shoved under others' noses. This is an interesting conversation to follow.
