My opinion: It really does matter who owns this platform. The leadership matters.

I've not been posting here for a while. I'm deleting most of my posts.

I won't tell you where you should go instead. But I encourage you to consider the options.

@Mail_Gun Hi, it seems my account has been compromised. I've reset API keys and SMTP credentials but it still seems to be sending. I had an account sending limit of 1000 but that seems to have been ignored. What do I do to get urgent support on this?

[Advanced Custom Fields @wp_acf]

We're pleased to share that our team has had account access restored on WordPress dot org along with control of the ACF plugin repo.

This means all ACF users can rest assured that the ACF team you trust is once again maintaining the plugin.

There’s no action required if you have installed ACF directly from the ACF website or you are an ACF PRO user.

Due to a client project delay I unexpectedly have a slot next week for a site or code review.

This is good for you! It means you can get a site reviewed before Christmas and get billed at my 2024 prices.

So lets talk about that project, yes that one you know needs a look at!

[Ross Wintle (not here much) @magicroundabout]

@PatWintle @SwindonCouncil @thameswater @jimrobbins It’s open. It’s just back to rough gravel with path-wide puddles. So if the requirement was to restore it to how it was before works started it might be OK. But this was an opportunity to improve it.

And after a few rounds of freezing water it’ll be impassable again.

[Ross Wintle (not here much) @magicroundabout]

Popping back here to ask @SwindonCouncil @thameswater @jimrobbins:

Is that work on cycle route 45 Barnfield to Thamesdown Drive “finished”?

Because I would challenge anyone to ride a bike along it and then say “Yeah, that’s good.”

Also: It won’t last the winter.

[Ross Wintle (not here much) @magicroundabout]

@techiesreviews @brendanocwp Oh thank YOU! It’s great see how other people are using WordPress and thanks for showing off my little tool to others. I’m really glad you like it
and its always good to get feedback too.

[Ross Wintle (not here much) @magicroundabout]

@techiesreviews @brendanocwp Hmm... Let me have a think about that. The nice Bricks people just gave me a license last week to play with so I'll see what is possible!

Lots of room for better integration with other products too. It's not hard to extend it.

Thanks again!

[Ross Wintle (not here much) @magicroundabout]

@techiesreviews @brendanocwp You are LITERALLY the first person that's ever said anything about that! 😂

[Ross Wintle (not here much) @magicroundabout]

@techiesreviews @brendanocwp All documented here:

And I'll do a better official video demo at some point.

I also wrote about the "business model" for it recently, if you're interested:

@techiesreviews @brendanocwp Hah, well, I'm not very good at marketing (even though I feel like I talk about it ALL the time).

Make sure you're happy with the "search modes". People have said it doesn't integrate with APIs but you can search content, WooCommerce orders and customers, users and plugins.

[Ross Wintle (not here much) @magicroundabout]

@brendanocwp @techiesreviews Thanks, Brendan. Lex, that's my extension! 😃

Email me if you have any questions (I'm not on here much). Address is in the website footer.

Improvements are coming, including some Bricks integration.

I'll try to join the stream tomorrow!

Thanks for doing this. 🙏

[Ross Wintle (not here much) @magicroundabout]

Right. Marketing splurge over. Work crisis has died down.

Looking around at things… I think I’ll retreat again.

Check my profile for a link that says where else I am.

[Turbo Admın @TurboAdmn]

My new plugin developer job has me working in the wp-admin dashboard a lot more of late. So I've really been working hard on Turbo Admin in my spare time to make life easier. And it's SO much easier using the keyboard to drive WordPress...
