This was a massive rebuild. We moved from a 10-year-old classic theme running Elementor to Ollie and blocks.

Manually rebuilt 80 layouts, restructured content, revamped license system, new ticket theme viewer, tons of new content, and a lot of significant changes under the hood.

Still some work to be done (performance & messaging), but super happy with where we are at.

@rmelogli That’s a big milestone. What about simply incorporating under “Business Bloomer Group” (or similar)? It’s a really nice brand that you’ve built up over many years and it’s generic enough to apply to any of your business activities.

@rmelogli @FooEvents @metorikhq @robinpietersen @bryceadams I will gladly accept the cannoli on @bryceadams behalf 😬

[Rodolfo Melogli @rmelogli]

Hear me out: @FooEvents reminders and follow-ups to attendees... on @metorikhq Engage Automations!

@robinpietersen @youngBLOOD @bryceadams who do I have to bribe with cannoli to get this on your roadmap? 🤣

WordPress 7.0 ships a built-in AI Client: a PHP API that routes image and text generation requests to whichever provider the site owner has configured. This tutorial walks through building a working image generation plugin on top of it. https://t.co/9yMPNyag7n

@KatieKeithBarn2 Sad day for those brands and their customers but not entirely surprising. Hosting companies are just not a good fit as custodians of WP products which is a real shame for founders as they probably have the biggest war chests in the industry.

[Colin Daniels @youngBLOOD]

This is a fantastic talk. Don’t miss it!

[Rodolfo Melogli @rmelogli]

6:35 PM UK time, May 7: 25 minutes with @bftrick talking Shopify vs WooCommerce after a large migration—what actually changes when you move platforms, what breaks, what improves, and what people usually get wrong.

There’s still time to grab your ticket and join us tomorrow: https://t.co/xpg1Va9Jim

@rmelogli It was a great success and so happy to have been part of the inaugural event. Already looking forward to next year!

[Robin Pietersen 🇿🇦 @robinpietersen]

After a combined 40+ hours of travel, @youngblood and I finally made it to @checkoutsummit!

The views were well worth the wait. Looking forward to sight seeing and connecting with everyone over the next few days. #checkoutsummit

[Colin Daniels @youngBLOOD]

Making the long trek to Palermo for the inaugural @checkoutsummit 🇮🇹 Nothing is running on schedule, but that’s ok because we have sunsets!

[FooEvents @FooEvents]

We pulled together the key trends to watch this year, plus practical ways to respond—without chasing hype.
If you’re planning your 2026 calendar now, this is a useful starting point.

‼️ Gravity Forms had a supply chain breach and their official website distributed a plugin with a backdoor. If you happened to download their plugin via the website on 10/11th of July, make sure to scan your server now. IOCs and details in the article.
