Remember, by moving your WordPress to something else you are not helping WordPress in any shape or form.
I'm trying not to use Google Docs.
But I need a sign up sheet where people can list themselves as volunteers for recurring events.
Ideally, this would live on a wordpress site and have a layout that is not worse than a shared Google sheet.
I'd also prefer not to pay £40 for the privilege of running this.
Suggestions?
Many WordPress plugins promise to update image's alt texts through post's SEO titles. It can be useful for a decoration featured image, but useless for a how-to about a functionality of your software or whatever else explanatory. You'll have alt texts which explain NOTHING but automatic accessibility checkers will consider your site valid. And you make a FOOL of yourself in front of the world. Please don't fall in these traps! #accessibility #inclusion #WordPress #plugins #awareness

The #WordPress contributor Slack is turning into a clusterfuck.
I tried asking three questions of #WordPress.
Q. Can Core Contributors continue to log in if they're affiliated with WP Engine?
A. We can't answer that. Please don't ask.
Q. Do contributors need to sign a CLA?
A. No.
Q. Can GitHub users send a Pull Request if they're affiliate with WP Engine?
A. (After much wailing and gnashing of teeth) We don't know. No one from WordPress will tell the volunteers anything.
Very dispiriting.
Well, I tried.
I await my inevitable banning from #WordPress for Lèse-majesté.

Me addressing Matt in the WordPress Slack. I say "Matt - I've never seen anyone spread so much FUD about their own project before. I started out as sympathetic to your cause against WP Engine. But your behaviour has driven me - and many other good people - away.
I want to be explicitly clear: I am in no position to judge the merits of your lawsuit, but I am in a position to judge your behaviour. I cannot fathom why you are trying to turn your own community against you. Please - reconsider your approach."
WordPress is under GPLv2 (or later), and there is nothing preventing WordPress . org from making money by selling services to big providers like WP Engine. Matt/Automattic could have sorted out this mess privately instead of making it public drama. Everyone knows it costs money to maintain the public cloud and repository of all WP org add-ons and themes. This situation was not handled correctly. But, then, what do I know? Right? I have never been CEO of anything.

Matt Mullenweg looking weirder by the day as WordPress.org now requiring anyone who logs in to certify that they are "not affiliated with WP Engine in any way, financially or otherwise."
(Also IANAL but couldn't this provide weight to a claim of 'actual malice' on Automattic's part?)

WP Engine sues #WordPress co-creator Mullenweg and #Automattic, alleging abuse of power 
https://techcrunch.com/2024/10/02/wp-engine-sues-automattic-and-wordpress-co-founder-matt-mullenweg/
The plot thickens. WP Engine has sued Matt Mullenweg and Automattic. WPE's X post states:
Matt Mullenweg and Automattic’s self-proclaimed scorched earth campaign against WP Engine has harmed not just our company, but the entire WordPress ecosystem. The symbiotic relationship between WordPress, its community and the businesses that invest millions to support WordPress users, and advance the ecosystem, is based on trust in the promises of openness and freedom.
Matt Mullenweg’s conduct over the last ten days has exposed significant conflicts of interests and governance issues that, if left unchecked, threaten to destroy that trust. WP Engine has no choice but to pursue these claims to protect its people, agency partners, customers, and the broader WordPress community. Like so many of you, we love WordPress and are committed to the stability and longevity of the community.

Some years ago I switched my personal blog from #WordPress to a static site using #Jekyll. My main reason was that wasting resources on dynamic pages for static content like blog posts didn’t make a lot of sense. Now there’s a different reason. Ego and greed of Mullenweg taking the WordPress community hostage for an IMHO destructive path forward. I’d suggest you switch to alternatives. https://www.therepository.email/mullenweg-threatens-corporate-takeover-of-wp-engine

The #WordPress vs. WP Engine drama, explained
https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/29/wordpress-vs-wp-engine-drama-explained/
Es una pregunta recurrente que me encuentro una y otra vez entre quienes se crean su primera cuenta en alguna de las instancias que la componen y la respuesta corta podria resumirse en:
»Un conjunto de redes sociales abiertas, libres, inclusivas, que estan interconectadas por diversos protocolos«
¿Y cuales son estas redes sociales?
Entre ellas, la mas popular es #Mastodon, seguida probablemente por #Pleroma, #Peertube, #Wordpress, #Friendica, #GNUsocial, #Jabber, etc. Asi, como se puede observar, el ecosistema del Fediverso esta compuesto de mas de 30 Redes Sociales.
¿Entonces que es eso del ActivityPub?
Para que #Lemmy, #Pixelfed, #Hubzilla, #Misskey, #Bookworm, #Drupal, #Plume, #GoToSocial, #Funkwhale y hasta la nueva red social de Zuckershit puedan entenderse deben hablar el mismo idioma... o protocolo. Como mastodon es el mas popular ha conseguido imponer su propio protocolo excluyente, es decir, ActivityPub, pero por suerte existen otros, como #Zot, #Diaspora, #DFRN, #XMPP, #OStatus, etc. los cuales son todavia usados por varias de estas #RRSS.
Aunque no me gusta hacer comparaciones, supongamos que desde mañana los usuarios de Llutube pudieran seguir y ser seguidos por los usuarios de Hinztagram... entonces tendrian que ponerse de acuerdo en algun estandar o protocolo a usar para comunicarse y entenderse...
¿Y que Red Social dentro del Fediverso es la Mejor?
Si nos guiamos por su popularidad, deberiamos inclinarnos por Mastodon o Pleroma.
Pero si quisieramos la mayor interaccion e inclusion, entonces la solucion deberia estar en direccion a Friendica o Hubzilla, ya que ambas redes no solo se pueden comunicar a traves de ActivityPub, sino que integran OStatus, XMPP, Diaspora... y con ayuda de plugins fueron las primeras en abrir puentes con Fasebuch, Xwitter, Tumvlr, VlueSky y Dhreads (de Meta). Y esto es un factor que me parece muy relevante a la hora de querer llegar al maximo de espacios posibles.
Alt...
Grafica de algunas de las RRSS que participan del Fediverso
It is striking how much this quote from Automattic’s head hews so closely to Automattic’s decision to force #Gutenberg into #WordPress, without much consideration for #accessibility (for authors nor users) and with its corporate OSS contributions primarily around pushing the feature and failing to clean-up its own bugs & barriers.
“…giving our users a crappier experience so they can make more money.”
my web store uses #Jetpack specifically for the "Let visitors subscribe to this site and receive emails when you publish a post" feature.
Jetpack wants me to start paying $12 a month for this. I might pay $12 a year for that feature, but $144/year is far too much. Especially when can I send mails directly from my web server!
Surely there's a free alternative for #wordpress? Anyone know?

Diff from WP Policy, changed to: "The abbreviation “WP” is not covered by the WordPress trademarks, but please don’t use it in a way that confuses people. For example, many people think WP Engine is “WordPress Engine” and officially associated with WordPress, which it’s not. They have never once even donated to the WordPress Foundation, despite making billions of revenue on top of WordPress."
Is the #wordpress #wpengine feud over? Who won?
(The answer is always Kendrick, of course. 🐐)
Without the ability in WordPress to easily specify an alternative plugin repository for automated updates, Matt Mullenweg is basically a living supply chain vulnerability in the WordPress ecosystem.
So, if Matt & #Automattic turning off #WPEngine access to WordPress dot org demonstrates anything, it's that #WordPress has a fundamental supply-chain vulnerability in the form of its total reliance on WordPress dot org for automatic updates. & in Matt's autocratic control of the platform.
There is this war going on between WP Engine and Wordpress co-founder and CEO Matt Mullenweg. He called WP Engine a "cancer" and accused it of profiting from WordPress without contributing to development of the CMS. Now, WordPress org denies service to WP Engine, potentially putting sites at risk https://www.theregister.com/2024/09/26/wordpressorg_denies_service_to_wp #opensource #wordpress
WordPress community in turmoil: Breaking: WP Engine is banned from WordPress.org
https://wordpress.org/news/2024/09/wp-engine-banned/
@neil Is it true what they say, that #Automattic has purchased an exclusive license for commercial use of the #Wordpress trademark from the Foundation? It makes sense but I didn't know about it. Would be nice to have more bidders for the privilege, to diversify the revenues!
Started a plugin for #Wordpress to http proxy the plugins and themes as a workaround for the craziness that Automattic is pulling on WP Engine.
I'm not a programmer but I got it to load the plugin menu.
If anyone can contribute or test, that'd be great.

I got a couple of asks like this on tumblr, but I don't feel that posting about Automattic there first-hand is a good idea, so I'll answer here. Yup, it looks they are looking for someone to work on the 1) Tumblr selling our personal data to the AI ghouls have, probably, made tumblr profitable for the first time ever. In my three years working on tumblr, everything, EVERYTHING, was about making it stop losing money. Every single project went through the "is this going to make us lose less money" sieve. But again, we know Reddit got 60Mill from openAI for selling their users' content. Tumblr was 10Mill/year in the red when I left. If they got a similar deal for selling them (and midjourney) the pictures of my kids ( among other things) without my permission, that would have covered all the losess Automattic incured because of tumblr, and left money to fund it for a couple of years. Opening the door to ego-related projects from the CEO. 2) This recruitment-drive may come from the current tumblr & WordPress engineering teams being pessimistic about the project / having tried to discourage Management (Matt) to pursue it, or he (Matt) thinks they don't want to do it. Automattic looking for external people to work on a speciffic project is EXTREMELLY rare. As in "I've worked there for 8 years and I only have seen it happening with low-priority, no-important projects management didn't want in-house engineers to lose time with". It's pretty telling they are hiring for this. 3) Matt SEVERELY understimate the scope of the project. The idea was scrapped after last year some devs did some exploratory work and declared it a gargantuan task. And now I got through the grapevine that this has been kickstarted again due the CEO's own direct request. So it's happening because of him pushing for it to happen against the best judgement from engineering. And he seems to be thinking he can hire a small, dedicated team to make it so. And once again, this is HUGE. Matt and people who don't know anything about Tumblr codebase may think "oh, it's just mapping tumblr's API endpoints to similar WP API endpoints, convert the data formats, and work on some migrations so the tumblr posts can live within the WP database structure", but that's a very, extremely naive take. The problem is tumblr data architecture / product features are entirely uncompatible with WordPress data architecture. Every little corner of the tumblr dash I look into gives me headaches when thinking in how to make that work with WP. For example, let's think hashtags. They are a MAJOR feature for tumblr users, one of the most important pieces of the platform. And they work in an entire different way of how they work in WordPress. They'll need to write a WordPress plugin to make them work as they do in tumblr, even just for the API. Same with comments of a post. Same with counting post interactions (one of them really doesn't even exist in WordPress as a concept). Etc, etc, etc. It's almost fractal, every single part of tumblr I can look at would, no matter how small, mean a small nightmare for the people working on porting it. Fuck, they don't even know if WordPress.com is going to explode if they fill its tables with everything that's on tumblr (tumblr db has orders of magnitude more contents than Long story short, I think there's little of the current WP backend API that could be used as-is. If they manage to actually find a team to work on this, their job will be: And this is JUST for the API endpoints. We are not even talking about migrating the hundreds of tumblr themes to WordPress, or adapting the mobile apps to stop creating posts in the tumblr-format, etc. The best/worst part is that even if they get people to do this, even if they get to actually do all the work in whatever time they need to do it, the result would be a so heavily modded WP instance that would look nothing like WordPress, at all. It would look like the current tumblr backend, but shoehorned into using wp-shaped db tables somehow. But I guess MM doesn't really care about that, he just want to get the dopamine-rush of getting some sweet sweet media attention. So yeah, this is just a CEO who is extremely detached from the reality of the actual work thinking he's smarter than his own team (which already told him this was a pipe-dream a year ago) and trying to hire a team to empty the sea using a sieve. Good luck to them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Re-write the entire tumblr backend code as WordPress Plugins. A quick find/grep in my old work laptop there were over 5000 php filles in tumblr's backend project last year. The share of the code that could be discarded by reusing similarly-meaned parts of the WordPress API is negligible.
Migrate something like 500 billion posts, stored in different post formats, to the (uncompatible) WordPress post format and see the DB doesn't explode (fun story, tumblr old posts are stored in a different format than the new ones, because we couldn't find a safe way to convert them to the new format without risking losing some of the content ... so good luck doing that into WordPress)
Work on optimizing and caching everything so entire servers don't come down everytime someone loads a post (which in wp means doing a bunch of very heavy cross-table lookups, which when your post database is in the billions, your hashtags are stored in a different table with also billions of rows, and every post may trigger a dozen other lookups for other posts due the reblog chain, is going to be FUN)
Now do 1-3 again, but with tumblr's API v1 (which is still in heavy use, even if tumblr started migrating to v2 years ago).

So #WordPress let's you declare custom font sizes for #Gutenberg. So I want to override all the defaults and only allow a 'normal' and 'leader' size. This works, BUT the user interface shows toggle buttons that don't represent the actual names. It's always S, M, L, XL. When there's more than 5-6 or something you'll get a select list and then the shorthands are no longer being shown. But I don't need that many options. So why can't I overrule the shorthand letters? Seems like a stupid oversight.
I have an odd problem with a #wordpress blog hosted on #Apache + #phpfpm
When a client browses a page with media (eg. /blog/wp-content/uploads/…/foo.jpg), everything loads fine but the server logs a 404 error for path /blog/blog/wp-content/uploads/…/foo.jpg with the same user-agent as the original client, but the client ip address logged is the server ip.
Client-side: no error.
It appears something server-side makes a rewrite AND an internal request is made that spoofs the user-agent 1/2
