There is this plugin for WordPress that sucks in events from Eventbrite. OMFG it has so many bugs with it, but the problem is that there aren't a lot of options out there.UGH!#WordPress #eventbrite

Every so often I ask the fine #WordPress people if they'd like to come on the WP Tavern Jukebox podcast? It's not a chance to promote your product/service, but IS a chance to talk about some aspect of the wider WordPress landscape that you're interested in? DM me that's you! Thx

@mlanger Hi, I support WordPress for a living Wordfence is a good option for these sorts of things. Setup is pretty automatic, and you can tune how strict its blocking is within the WordPress admin (no need to reach for configuration files or the command line). The free license is sufficient for most small sites.

@pfefferle I haven’t published my client yet, but I’m aiming to do so in the next few weeks.I’ll keep a close eye on that PR!

@elettrona @mediaformat I am also searching for a plush Wapuu!!! Where have you found one?

With @claudeai’s app I was able to fix #WordPress Plugin Directory feedback from my phone while listening to a #FOSDEM talk.I guess next would be a wordpress.org MCP that lets me resubmit my updated plugin?

#wordpress news for dev, designers, business folks. https://wp.feedland.org/Click on the orange XML icon in the upper right corner for the list of feeds. Always want to add more sites to the list.

Still trying to figure out my website outages. To recap: I have two #MediaWiki wikis and one #WordPress site. And there seems to be _some_ background process which starts soon after 23:00 UTC (or 24:00 in France, where the servers are located) which puts such a strain on the website that I get a lot of "504" errors for a few hours. The exact duration is variable - sometimes it lasts for one or two hours, and sometimes it lasts way into the morning. But I cannot identify what causes it from the Apache logs - there is no clear, consistent trigger to be found there.Last time I asked customer support, they suggested that I check my plugins and background processes. But I don't know enough about website administration to know where to look.For what it's worth, my WordPress website uses the following plugins (all updated to the latest versions):ActivityPubContact Form 7Include Mastodon FeedJM Twitter CardsLeaflet MapMC4WP: Mailchimp for WordPressTablePressWP DSGVO Tools (GDPR)The site is here:https://sunkencastles.com/The extensions on my wiki can be found here:https://wiki.sunkencastles.com/wiki/Special:VersionDoes _anyone_ have any idea what kinds of background processes on MediaWiki or WordPress might cause this kind of outage, and how I could check it?#FediHelp

@JosKleverWebSupport nothing's wrong, I just don't like the "new" (now a year or two old) UI

People love to hate on #WordPress, but more than 60% of the websites online use it.Like all things, the system isn't the issue it's how it's run. If you don't stay on top of it and keep your plugins and themes updated then you're creating a vector for hacking.With these all-in-one services you're not dealing with the vectors, but someone at the service is. They can still drop the ball.So instead of hating on a software, just use what's best for you and what you need to do. Sound good?

Dear #WordPress people:I have a WordPress plugin that is already coded using PSR-4 autoloading, with all the PHP files in the ./src directory, all the old school JavaScript in ./js and the stylesheets in ./style.There is no webpack config, package.json or babel in use.Now I need to hook into some WooCommerce Blocks with Slot and Fill in React.What is the best way for me to scaffold what is required using `wp-scripts` or anything similar, without making a mess?

@pfefferle re. relying on jetpack for stats; thanks for not going there, I don't have nor want Jetpack on my site(s) for reasons

@jansenspott @freuwesen hmmm. Ich dachte eigentlich WordPress würde dann auch alle Antworten darauf löschen

@kraftner In that regard #ClassicPress seems to be a good alterantive.

@elkcityhazard Are they taking complete responsibility for the security of WordPress and their plugins? No WordPress, plugins, PHP, MySQL upgrades are required?If you have to get into upgrading any part of the WP dependency stack, it could turn into a Whole Thing.
