What if WordPress had one place for everything happening on your site?

We explored a notification bell for all of WordPress: real problems on top, promos in their place. Tested first on WooCommerce.

What do you think?

Critical security releases for PHP: store owners are encouraged to update their installations of PHP now.

If you're on Automattic infrastructure (@wordpressdotcom, @WordPressVIP, @Pressable, @wpcloudofficial), you're protected. Otherwise check for updates from your web host.

A little homework before submitting your plugin can save a lot of back and forth. Useful insights from Shameem 👇

[Shameem Reza @shameemdev]

Almost every week a plugin company messages me: "Can you help us? Our plugin got closed." When I look, it's nearly always trialware.

So my first YouTube video covers that and the 7 other mistakes I flag most in plugin review, each with the fix.

Meet Purple 💜 The Woo’s official block theme, built as a modern, flexible starting point for Woo stores. It’s now in beta and ready for testing, so give it a spin and share your feedback https://t.co/JrMH7juBut

Interesting week last week @automattic -- however, @WooCommerce kept shipping. 126 PRs were merged last week - here's 10...

[Adrian Laboş @AdrianLabos]

Heads up, Woo extension devs: PHP 8.1 could become the minimum in WooCommerce 11.5, targeted for January 2027. Still a proposal. If your product needs more time, now is when to say so.

@TranslatePress Congrats, folks!

[Brian Coords 💻 @briancoords]

Looking at the list of extensions included in the Storefront Extensions Bundle and realizing almost all of these are doable out of the box with any block theme on Woo.

I'd love to see more examples of Storefront customizations to see if there are any gaps in blocks.

[Darren Ethier @nerrad]

Still shipping! Some highlights of what got merged in to WooCommerce core trunk last week....

[Do The Woo Podcast @DotheWoo]

I certainly won't be the only one from @WooCommerce at @WordPress WCUS this year; 2 of our excellent developer advocates are appearing as speakers, we'll have a booth, a community event, and a variety of other folks will be there: https://t.co/QoRaYlsYqR

> 11.0 is due August 4. The counters will come back once someone finds out who is writing a zero. Props to the WooCommerce team for their hard work and dedication.

Thanks @remicorson for your breakdown. We have a lot of things we've been doing behind the scenes to avoid issues getting through to our users. Don't always get it right, but we do learn, and apply those learnings. Building a platform on top of a platform is tough!

[Beau @beaulebens]

We’re taking on @WooCommerce's GH backlog. Over the next three months, we’re reviewing every open issue and PR there.

If you've filed an issue on WooCommerce Core: thank you, and you'll be hearing from us if it’s still open.

I wrote about it here: https://t.co/51AUUKSRlJ

@cagdasdagg I'd love to dig into what's missing for you. If you're up for a quick 1:1 call, I'd really appreciate it. My DMs are open whenever you're ready.

[Adrian Laboş @AdrianLabos]

@cagdasdagg Tanks for the honest feedback, Çağdaş! I hear you on both the wait time and the dashboard gaps. We're actively working on making cases like this easier to resolve.

[Adrian Laboş @AdrianLabos]

@cagdasdagg Really sorry the acquisition didn't go as expected. Buying into an extension is always a bit of an experiment, and the bumps often turn into the best lessons. Rooting for the next one!

[Adrian Laboş @AdrianLabos]

@cagdasdagg Hey @cagdasdagg! Saw our support team got you the historical data. Quick note: this wasn't a WooCommerce Subscriptions issue. Apologies for any confusion there.
