@rmelogli If you have a solution for a real problem and think you can handle real product which is fairly different from solving it just for yourself, then you should just go and do it.
@prashant_baldha@WordPress It is understandable, people started vibecoding static simple tasks where WordPress might have been an overkill but with that in mind WordPress is still the right choice and has a bright future. Just need to invest more into new ways to build with WP.
Great move, less dependencies is always better. I've created skills that lets you create Gutenberg based pages fully autonomously for exactly the same reason.
I am so excited... fooplugins is moving off elementor, and onto a custom built FSE theme "vide coded" by codex using /goal.
I pointed it at my live site, started with the homepage and went from there. I am now dozens of prompts down, and the results are insane!
Wins so far:
- the new site design looks even better than the original for some sections. How?!?
- all sections are now reusable patterns I can use on any page
- created 4 color schemes as page templates, and all section patterns adapt to the chosen scheme
- wired up patterns to use CPT's so they are data driven and easy to update (testimonials, pricing widgets, demos)
- html, javascript and css sizes down dramatically
And to top it all off, I have been able to deactivate 8 plugins, and just build the little bits I need into a companion plugin. Things like CPT's, FAQ schema generation, author boxes, etc.
But the thing I love the most, is now I can actually manage the site locally using codex / claude. I can tell codex to update pages, or create whole new pages in seconds, rather than battle with elementor.
The plan is to sync my local changes to a git repo which I can pull into the live site.
Why has it taken me this long to do this?
I asked codex to compare what I have local VS live. Results speak for themselves, and keep in mind that I have disabled any caching and optimization locally, so these numbers will only get better when I go live!
@remkusdevries It isn't necessarily ugly but it doesn't have the character of the original Ferrari we used to see and looks fairly similar to any other car. But I still like it.
Leading #WordPress 7.0 as Tech Lead has been an incredible journey, and wrapping it up with my 1⃣8⃣ x Noteworthy Core Contributor recognition feels amazing 🚀💙
Mission accomplished ✅ Huge thanks to this phenomenal community 🙌
Just got an amazing review for CloudSync Master Pro 🚀
“The plugin handled everything automatically, saved us a lot on hosting costs, paid for itself, and the support team went above and beyond.”
If your WordPress store has a lot of media, stop paying insane hosting fees.
@SkinnyWaterApps Yeah, catalog data is the easy part. Returns and order updates are where it usually gets messy, because half the logic lives in plugins and store-specific rules. That’s probably the real test.
@garysmurray@richtabor Makes sense, more options are always better. I was mostly trying to achieve out of the box experience and min dependencies. MCP tends to waste memory and eat up context.
@garysmurray@richtabor It is possible to include scripts along with the skills and they can automate it. I also had a very good success with shipping CLI tool or adding commands to wp-cli and then including commands in the skill for AI to run.
@garysmurray@richtabor I've started looking at it and it made me wonder if it can be converted into pure skills over the rest API, then perhaps we won't need MCP and be able to simply install these skills from https://t.co/XPfLRUQtfv ?
@chubes4 Playground Blueprints feels like a smart primitive for this. The part I'd be most curious about is where the loop hands off from nice static HTML to something a WordPress user can actually edit without the whole thing collapsing.
