grateful to see @sejournal cover WPVibe today 🙏 they led with the part I care about most... letting AI run your WordPress site without letting it break it.

connect the Claude or ChatGPT you already use, then just talk to your site in plain english.

[John Turner @johnturner]

Today, we're introducing Claude for WordPress.

Just connect your site and the Claude you already pay for runs the whole thing. Posts, media, SEO, themes, even the theme files. All in plain English.

No second AI subscription. Nothing to install locally.

Unlike the other "Claude for X" posts in your feed this week, this one's an actual plugin you can use today.

See below 👇

@LucasRolff @tomsommer Hey Lucas, WP Mail SMTP v4.9 was released last week, so you are good to go.

Let us know if you spot any other feature you would like to see in our SMTP plugin.

[John Turner @johnturner]

You also need reliable transactional emails with your Laravel App.

And what a coincidence, https://t.co/4xRiEb3Mur also has a $5 / month plan 😄, but you can also start FREE!

[Taylor Otwell @taylorotwell]

If you ain't reading all that:

• $5 / month Laravel Cloud plan
• Scale to zero replaces "hibernation", wakes up in 500ms instead of 10,000ms
• Spend caps = no surprise bills
• Best managed queues in the game

Let's ship. 🤘

WordPress emails not arriving?

Normally you'd install a plugin, try to configure it, get lost with DNS records... and give up😰

WP Mail SMTP has a quick-connect button, which skips all of that -> WP email issues resolved in less than 3 minutes.

[Grega Capuder @capuderg]

@LucasRolff @tomsommer Awesome! Thank you for testing!

This feature will be included in WP Mail SMTP v4.9.0 (our next scheduled release).

[Grega Capuder @capuderg]

@LucasRolff @tomsommer Here is the beta version of our lite plugin: https://t.co/hUfrq9AlMb. And here is the GH Gist with the example usage: https://t.co/5rZTrQwo8V.

Please test it out and let us know if this resolves your issues. If everything looks OK, we will ship this in the next plugin update.

[Grega Capuder @capuderg]

@LucasRolff @tomsommer Hey @LucasRolff, thanks for your feature request! Our team implemented the WP CLI commands you need, in WP Mail SMTP 🙂

[Grega Capuder @capuderg]

@tomsommer @LucasRolff Could you please let me know your particular use case?

We might be able to help you out 😉

Are you using WP in multisite mode, or are you trying to configure multiple single WP sites with the same mailer config? Or something else?

If you know what happened to some highly reputable WordPress brands today, it's truly unfortunate.

For those who are looking to switch, we are ready to onboard and support you through the transition.

- @wpcharitable is growing and many non profits are switching from GiveWP. We have an easy to use importer as well.

- @memberpress is absolutely crushing it. If you are on LearnDash and need a reliable LMS / membership solution to switch to, look no further. MemberPress has all + coaching + community features. It's an all in one solution, the best in the category.

- @sugarcalendar is a light weight but powerful event calendar solution for WordPress. Over 10,000+ sites are already using it and we continue to make the product better each week.

- @duplicatorwp is one of the most popular backup and migration solution for WordPress. If you want to swap out SolidWP tools, our bundle gives you Activity log and more features for great value.

- @athemesdotcom has two beautiful themes in Sydney and Botiga. Our Merchant plugin is incredible for Woo users.

Also for Woo users, take a look at @FunnelKitHQ and @couponsplugin for other really solid features.

Of course I highly recommend checking out our entire portfolio of plugins. Our team has been doing an incredible job and we are here to support the users for long term.

Translating my brands with leading SaaS translation tools would have cost us 7 figures annually!

For WPBeginner alone, six figures.

So last year I tried every well-known WordPress translation plugin instead.

Every single one slowed our admin to a crawl. Our post editor was practically unusable.

On our WooCommerce / EDD stores, the lag hit the entire checkout. Bad for conversions. Worse for revenue.

I kept thinking: why is this so hard?

In 2026, AI is good enough that small businesses shouldn't have to choose between site speed and going global.

So I asked our team to build the translation platform we actually wanted to use.

Today I'm sharing it with you. It's called Universally.

AI translates your entire website in minutes. Translations live on our cloud, not your database. So your site stays fast. Often faster, because we deliver from edge servers worldwide.

Multilingual SEO is fully automated. Hreflang tags, translated metadata, clean URLs, RTL support. All of it.

We've already translated 250M+ words during our private beta.

WordPress is live today.

Shopify, Wix, Webflow, and Squarespace are next coming very soon.

The free plan is genuinely free. No credit card required. You can have your site running in a second language in under 10 minutes.

If you've put off translating because it felt too expensive, too technical, or too fragile, this is for you.

We just shipped WPVibe MCP: connect your WordPress site to ChatGPT, Claude, or any AI chat client. Create posts, add images, schedule content and more. All from the chat window. Here's how it works:

@unpkg I'm getting Cloudflare 520 errors (Vienna datacenter) when trying to access https://t.co/ML93xxztbW

Are you aware of this issue? Any estimates when it will be available?

[Syed Balkhi @syedbalkhi]

This is a big moment!

Now over 20 million websites are using our software 🚀

I'm so proud of our team @awesomemotive and all the amazing work we're doing to help shape the web for billions worldwide.

Feels like a dream - from a blog to NASDAQ Times Square (bootstrapped).
