Next up: plugin refactoring.

I just played a little bit with fragment caching. First downside: since you cannot filter locate_template, you can’t cache complete templates.

I accidentally created a new plugin to manage Composer packages via WordPress. Oopsy. 😅
Still had enough energy and motivation to work on the latest feature for Form Block Pro: repeater fields. Now, only server-side validation is missing and the new version is finally ready to ship. 🎉
I just played around with WordPress Playground to run Playwright tests with it and it’s really cool.
(more…)I’m not sure if it makes sense to have an empty group with large padding by default in WordPress’s Twenty Twenty-Five theme on the posts page if there is a result.
