The WP World is at 1770 Pressers right now. If you're already in there, thank you! Would you share this with your circle to help me get over the 2000 mark? #WordPress #Community 🗺️ thewp.world

This week's newsletter went out today (yes, a little late) because I wanted to get a feature done before hitting "send". Well, it's done and LIVE: Find out who's in your favorite #WordPress community groups or socials with the new "Find me on..." page! thewp.world/find-me-on/

They’re still a work in progress, but the event pages in The WP World have gotten a lot better this week - both in design and performance. They used to load real slow and now it’s so much better! @thewp.world thewp.world/events/wordc...

Hey #WordPress folks 📣 This is your reminder to update your The WP World profile to let people know you are attending: 🇵🇭 WordCamp Asia 2025 #WCMad 🇮🇳 WordCamp Pune 2025 #WCPune 🇪🇸 WordCamp Zaragoza 2025 #WCZGZ25 🇺🇸 PressConf 2025 #PressConf ...or any other event in 2025! thewp.world

Today was the first day back for a lot of #WordPress folks after a holiday break. How are you holding up? What're you most excited about this year?

I’ve heard of some people not using ChatGPT because it feels like cheating. If you’re not using it (or something similar), what’s your reason?

This year, I need to get in shape for real. It’s going to be tough, but I’ve given up soda and fried foods for 2025. I’m also limiting myself to water, raw fruits, and vegetables after 8pm (might make that even earlier at some point). Late night snacking is a huge weakness of mine!

With the announcement of Arc no longer being actively developed, what are people switching to these days? Back to Chrome?

My new project, RideReply, is live on Product Hunt today 🎉 Would you please take a moment to give it an upvote so more people can find out about it? Thanks! www.producthunt.com/posts/ridere...

Selflessness is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less.

Going into 2025, I'm looking for up to 2 new sponsors to join these incredibly generous folks! Learn more: thewp.world/sponsorship WS Form, DoTheWoo, BerthaAI, WPSpeakers, Howard Spaeth, OSTraining, Yoast, Elementor, Mindsize, The WP Minute, Bluehost, Kinsta, Omnisend, Pressable, and RocketDotNet

This looks so good and so clean! I wish I had a legitimate use case for a #WordPress event plugin right now just to give it a test drive...

It's getting close to time for my AI-driven side project to launch. Who wants to take it for a ride early?

Kicked off a new side project this week (not for #WordPress but built on it). With #AI as my co-pilot, I’ve tackled roadblocks, optimized setup, drafted an MVP, and even designed a logo. What took months before took days. More to come, but it’s already sparking big ideas!

Okay Pressers, it's time to make your profile better reflect your personality! Cover photos are here for your The WP World profiles 🎉 #WordPress #TheWPWorld @thewpworld.bsky.social

The WP World is getting a facelift in the user account dashboard this week, along with a couple new goodies. Can anyone spot one of the new features? #WordPress

Where do you have the most productive #WordPress business conversations? Social media? In-person events? Zoom calls? Other?

Thanks for letting me share my social media poll findings on the blog, @dothewoo.bsky.social . It's not surprising, but it's a good reminder to take care of your customers - that's all they really want! #WordPress #Agency #Hosting dothewoo.io/blog/support...

What is one #WordPress agency feature you've never seen a #hosting company get right?

Join us LIVE in about 30 mins for the 'This Week in #WordPress' show. It's fun, and we'd love your comments! Starts at 2pm UK time. wpbuilds.com/live Join Nathan Wrigley, Kathy Zant, Ross Morsali and Raquel Manriquez.

After almost a year of working on my #WordPress extension, I've gotten very little commercial interest. Too niche? Not marketed well enough? Maybe both. I've decided to just add the premium features to the free plugin and make it available for all 🎉 wordpress.org/plugins/adva...

A big congrats to our host @mburnette.com dothewoo.io/blog/host-ma...

If you've ever left a #WordPress #hosting company for another, what made you leave?

Starting this week, The WP World is back! I’m resuming updates and development and getting back to supporting the #WordPress community. I’ve missed it and I’m excited to get back to work there. 🗺️ @twpworld https://thewp.world/?na=view&id=52

2020-2022: all eyes on commerce 2023-2024: all eyes on AI 2025: all eyes on agencies From hosting to products to integrations, the next year is going to be all about #WordPress agencies. Good news if you’re an agency, but make sure you don’t fall for empty marketing promises!

I’ve started a WordPress starter pack: go.bsky.app/CecjzGr I would love nothing more than for WP Twitter to all move to Bluesky. I’m sure I’ve missed many people already, so please please please give me your suggestions on who else I should add!

A Bluesky is exactly what (The WP) World needs 🗺️
