Hey @WooCommerce developers: help us test out extensible abilities for extension fields https://t.co/UXAAhkgLmv

[Brian Coords 💻 @briancoords]

Woo isn't just a plugin, it's an ecosystem. As we work on our MCP, we want to make sure plugins that extend core Woo functionality can extend our abilities too.

If you're extending @DevelopWoo, we'd appreciate your feedback on extensible abilities.

The Purple theme development has transitioned to the WooCommerce monorepo, enhancing collaboration and maintenance while remaining a standalone WordPress theme with independent releases. https://t.co/DkxYtDnxjw

[Amber Hinds @heyamberhinds]

New case study on our blog for @WooCommerce. We audited 43 extensions for #a11y. Teams at @Automattic and @Fueled remediated and we published #Accessibility Conformance Reports. ~500 accessibility issues were resolved + now merchants have much more transparency when comparing plugins. https://t.co/TT3fULfISj

[Brian Coords 💻 @briancoords]

Woo peeps: We've moved the Purple theme development from it's own repo to the WooCommerce monorepo (for cleanliness and agent reasons).

But you can still get it on all the normal theme directories 👍

I missed last week's roundup because I was eating 🦃 and enjoying 🇨🇦 thanksgiving with my fam. But I'm back this week with a list of merged to WooCommerce core.

There were over 150 PRs merged last week! Here's a few...

We have a new default theme for @WooCommerce available now, called Purple. It's early days, but is already a great starting point for block-based, commerce-centric @WordPress sites. Help us improve it!

[Luigi Teschio @gigitux]

If you're using WooCommerce in a language different from English, I fixed a few translation issues:
-https://t.co/CqVQRvy4Ai
- https://t.co/0gzy4ZFckH

Please let me know if other parts of WooCommerce Core aren't translated even if GlotPress says that the plugin is 100% translated in your language (https://t.co/wlJsLADruE)

[Automattic @automattic]

Color us impressed by Purple from @WooCommerce! 💜
