Announcing FlipWP 🚀

The private acquisition marketplace for WordPress.

Together with @AlexDenning, I’ve just launched @flip_wp, a service to connect sellers of #WordPress businesses with buyers looking to specifically acquire WordPress companies.

@callumchapman @IntentMode Great, I’d love it to sit on top of todoist not replace it

[Advanced Custom Fields @wp_acf]

Check out our DE{CODE} session "The ACF Update That Makes Your Content Machine-Readable" on May 6th! @polevaultweb and @rob_stino will dive into the latest with ACF and how to use it to make your site and its content machine-readable.

@JUVOJustin @wp_acf Hey Justin, are you referring to the field Instructions?

[Iain Poulson @polevaultweb]

This is a big one! 🙌

[Advanced Custom Fields @wp_acf]

🚀 ACF 6.8 is here and your content just became AI-ready.

🤖 Build content models with natural language. Make your fields discoverable by search engines and AI.

🎉 And ACF's first ever WP-CLI commands.

Let's take a tour 👇

[Iain Poulson @polevaultweb]

@_osull @wp_acf @steveschoger @WordPress Thanks for the reply! Totally get it - zero-config wins for agencies. We've been thinking about how to make the Icon Picker more out-of-the-box friendly.

Would love to chat about what you've learned building this. DMs open!

[Iain Poulson @polevaultweb]

ACF already powers content modeling and creation - helping with content discovery felt like a natural next step. Your fields define the structure; we're making that structure visible to search engines and AI.

It's experimental for now, and we're not looking to become an SEO plugin - just bridging the gap where it makes sense. 🚀

@bennimack @wpackagist @wpengine @outlandish @typo3 @packagist @fair_pm Hey Benni, sorry we couldn't get you connected to some of our WP Engine folks at CF. I'll DM you to start chatting!

[Iain Poulson @polevaultweb]

@jonathan_dejong I hear you, it wasn't the ideal place due to how it got displayed multiple times during a command run - but all gone now https://t.co/g0hhBYajWj

[Iain Poulson @polevaultweb]

@retlehs This has now been removed, I think most people know about the acquisition now 😅

[Iain Poulson @polevaultweb]

@retlehs As you will know, the majority of WPackagist users will predominantly interact with the service via the CLI, not the website - so this is a good place to alert them of the change of ownership

[Iain Poulson @polevaultweb]

@soderlind @wpengine Outlandish are working with GitHub to remove that program! We appreciate your long term support!

[WPackagist @wpackagist]

WPackagist has been acquired by @wpengine.

For over a decade, Outlandish built and maintained this service. Now WP Engine is carrying it forward - with the same commitment to the developer community in the WordPress ecosystem.
