I make parts of the internet, and tools to help others make parts of the internet too. Currently building Advanced Custom Fields at @wpengine

@MartinSLewis this weeks @MoneySavingExp newsletter had this piece on ISAs…

But, didn’t this change last year? Can’t you subscribe to multiple ISAs now, so long as the total across them all doesn’t exceed £20k?

[Liam @lgladdy]

@eriktorsner Better hope you never need to host an awards show on zoom then…

[Liam @lgladdy]

Awesome to be working with Joe at @wpengine.

I’m spending a lot of time with Real-Time Collaboration at the moment and it’s awesome to see the other opportunities it’s enabling.

[The Repository @therepositorywp]

Joe Fusco's new Presence API plugin shows who else is in the WordPress admin and what they're working on. It's a spin-off of his database work for real-time collaboration.

Over the last couple of weeks, I've been training a model to try and predict time-of-use energy tariff prices in the UK based on NESO forecasts of demand and solar generation, given the recent change in UK energy price taxes.

[Liam @lgladdy]

@MadtownLems @JiveDig @wp_acf Fairly sure this isn't supposed to happen, and we're supposed to ignore saved modes if you upgrade to v3 to stop you getting into this state.

It's a UK holiday today, but i'll dig into this tomorrow and get back to you.

[Liam @lgladdy]

Interesting! Let's build a plugin and see how it's APIs work.

Introducing EmDash — the spiritual successor to WordPress. https://t.co/WqrG6HQlSB

The good thing about F1 being awful this year is when you think qualifying starts at 7am rather than 6, you don’t really care that you missed it.

[Liam @lgladdy]

@mattbeck @wp_acf Looks like there's a bug in beta5 where it's returning true for `isGutenbergPlugin` even when the Gutenberg plugin isn't enabled, so the advertised/expected WP 7.0 behaviour is happening.

[Liam @lgladdy]

@mattbeck @wp_acf I'm pretty sure they delayed this change, and v2 blocks will still work in 7.0, just with a console warning?

[Liam @lgladdy]

@eriktorsner @BenjiMac93 @CroftyF1 Yeh cause they started showing some of it later in the race, but the one time we actually needed it today was for Charles and George at the start and we had nothing

[Liam @lgladdy]

@CroftyF1 please tell me we’re supposed to have graphics showing us state of charge and deployment and overtake and boost and all this stuff… how are we supposed to know what’s happening otherwise?!

[Liam @lgladdy]

We really, really need graphics on screen at all times that show SoC, OT and Boost deployment…

How is anyone supposed to understand what’s happening in @F1 this year without it?

[Liam @lgladdy]

It’s just so satisfying.

[Liam @lgladdy]

I appreciate the footage they're continuing to show from the downhill Skiing, but I'm not sure we should have heard the mics of Lindsey Vonn's screams for so long after the crash. #Olympics2026

[Liam @lgladdy]

...and while I'm complaining about spam. Why did they ruin @AmazonAlexa in the UK with constant "...I can setup a routine to <x>" after virtually every response?

If I wanted a routine, I'd set one up. Stop asking me.

They gave Alexa main character syndrome.

[Liam @lgladdy]

How have @FestingerVault not been fined by the @ICOnews or @EU_EDPB yet?

They signed me up, without consent, claiming I made an account (with a different WordPress developer's username, no less...) If you unsubscribe, they keep making systems where they re-register you to spam.

[Liam @lgladdy]

@iaincole @Twitch Aw man, good luck with what’s next! Thanks for all your help with the various low level technical issues you’ve helped me and the esports teams with!

[Liam @lgladdy]

@nickmdiego Good luck!

In a world where generative engine optimisation (GEO) is as important as SEO, we think ACF's Schema support can help you, with minimal effort, be ready for that.

So, please test and give us your feedback!

[Liam @lgladdy]

ACF 6.8-beta2 contains a preview of little pet project I've been working on for the last few months: JSON-LD schemas from ACF data!

If you're interested, please check it out and give us feedback. We want to work collaboratively on where this goes next.

[Liam @lgladdy]

Using ACF Blocks? You're covered too! You can have multiple JSON-LD blobs on a page, and describe the content you're outputting in the block for search and generative agents through the schema. (Add `autoJsonLd = true` to your block.json)
