Everything WordPress

[Tyler Postle @tylerpostle]

Today we just launched MeasureScale! This one is especially exciting for me as I'm working with Google data every day.

I've built so many Explore reports in Google Analytics that the tab is basically a graveyard. Most I never look at, or even remember making. Maybe that's just me 🙈

Connecting GA and Search Console to your favourite AI via MeasureScale gets rid of all of that.

One message, and you have your report.

Forgot a dimension or filter, just ask for it. Want to compare to a different time period or property, just ask 😌

And MeasureScale goes one step further. It isn't just building you reports, it's turning that data into real growth.

It finds what changed, shows you exactly where, tells you what to fix, and estimates what fixing it is worth.

Watch the video below for an example.

If you work with data, you learn to double-check everything. That matters even more with AI. On its own, it will confidently hand you the wrong analysis.

So MeasureScale runs the analysis for your AI, and shows you where the numbers come from.

Setup is just signing in with Google and adding it to your AI. No building your own Google Cloud app.

And this is just day 1.

I've been testing it for the past couple of weeks, and it's already a daily tool for me. I love that we're often building these tools for ourselves as much as for our users.

We're providing product feedback right along with you to keep improving them. Please do share your experiences with us!

@measurescale If your blog traffic has stalled, this is how you find the posts sitting just off page one with MeasureScale: https://t.co/hIpVtctaK5

[Rajab Said @rajabsnrj]

@measurescale launched today.

Connect Search Console for free, then ask Claude or ChatGPT which searches are close to page one.

You get a ranked list with extra clicks based on your own CTR, not industry averages.

Every answer shows its source, dates, and whether it’s final.

If you sell a membership or class pass, this is how you add a free trial to a Stripe subscription form in WPForms: https://t.co/OK9l2UT7QK

Visitors see “You won’t be charged today” under the card field, and that one line does a lot of work.

[Rajab Said @rajabsnrj]

One thing I see with subscription forms:

Paying for a class you haven’t tried is a big ask.

In WPForms, open Payments » Stripe and set a 14-day Trial Period under Recurring Cycles.

Stripe charges when it ends.

Hesitant visitors don’t need a discount.

They need a free trial.

Imagine running a business where every enquiry comes through one contact form.

A potential customer needs a quote. Another needs technical support. Someone else has a billing question.

But all three enquiries land in the same inbox.

Someone has to sort through them and forward each message to the right team.

There’s a simpler way.

With WPForms Conditional Form Notifications, you can use one form to send different email notifications to different teams based on what a visitor selects.

Sales enquiries go to Sales. Support requests go to Support. Billing questions go to Accounts.

No manual forwarding. No need to build three separate forms.

I put together this short video to demonstrate how it works. The video was edited using Claude Fable 5.2.

One form. Three departments. The right notification, automatically.

[WPForms @easywpforms]

A seasoned WordPress dev. Every new site he builds. One go-to form builder.

Simple forms, powerful add-ons, and forms that truly look beautiful.

That's the kind of loyalty that means everything. Check it out!

[Kenneth Gathogo @KennethGathogo]

The new Weekly Email Summary in WPForms v2.0.3 lands in your admin inbox every Monday. What it shows depends on your plan. Lite gets views, Entry Backups when Lite Connect is on, and every form on its own row. A paid plan adds even more goodies. More details 👇

If you have a long application or onboarding form, this is how you set up Save and Resume in WPForms: https://t.co/LC8Ys2xvq7

[Rajab Said @rajabsnrj]

One thing I’ve noticed with long forms:

People don’t quit because they don’t care. They quit because life interrupts.

@easywpforms Save and Resume emails them a link to pick up right where they left off.

A long form isn’t the problem.

Making people finish it in one go is.

[Rajab Said @rajabsnrj]

Here’s how to set up the Drip addon and tags in WPForms: https://t.co/1D1RqPr475

[Rajab Said @rajabsnrj]

Syed’s point about your email list being the one asset nobody can take away is spot on.

I help people connect their forms to Drip campaigns every week, and the best lists I see have one thing in common:

They know who’s on them.

WPForms already makes this simple using tags.

I’ve been a paying Drip (@getdrip) customer for years.

Today, I’m excited to share that we’ve acquired the company 😍

https://t.co/qGTrvA1IeI is the email and SMS marketing platform that has powered @WPBeginner and our other brands for a long time.

We also acquired Sleeknote (@Sleeknotecom), the onsite conversion tool behind Drip’s popups, slide-ins, and forms, which comes free with every Drip plan. Both are joining the @AwesomeMotive family of brands.

Why Drip?

I don’t have a sophisticated acquisition strategy. We generally buy businesses that we already use to make us money. I’ve pulled up Drip’s revenue dashboard more times than I’d like to admit, so I know exactly what a good email and SMS setup brings in.

Some numbers, because who doesn't like numbers: over 6,000+ brands run on Drip, and they’ve earned over $1.5 billion in revenue from Drip emails. Not impressions, not engagement ... Real Dollars.

But here’s the real reason.

Advertising costs keep going up. Social traffic keeps going down. And AI is changing how people find and discover businesses.

Your email list and your SMS list are the only assets that nobody can take away from you. They’re not rented, they’re YOURS. And in the AI era, that matters more than it ever has.

Business owners who own their customer relationships are going to come out ahead. The ones building on rented land are going to pay the ultimate cost.

My goal is simple: make Drip the best email & SMS marketing platform for the AI era, and make marketing automation both EASY and affordable for every small business owner.

All Drip users already have access to a free MCP connector, so you can point ChatGPT, Claude or any of your favorite AI tools at your customer data, and just ask it questions. That’s where this is headed.

Mogens Møller and his team built a great product, and he’s staying on to run Drip as an independent brand, like all of our companies. Nothing changes for existing customers, except the team behind you just got bigger.

If you’re an existing Drip customer, eCommerce store owner, and / or a small business owner that has a wishlist or feature idea that you'd love to see from an AI-first email & SMS marketing platform, let me know in the comments below because I’m excited to be working with the team.

One thing I’ve noticed with geo-targeted campaigns:

Businesses carefully target the right audience with their ads, but forget to apply the same rules to their lead forms.

The result is predictable.

Submissions come in from countries they don’t serve.

The campaign looks successful on paper, but the sales team wastes hours chasing prospects that will never convert.

If your campaign is limited to specific countries, your form should enforce the same boundary.

WPForms makes this simple.

Enable the Country Filter, select only the countries you serve, and block everything else.

It’s a small setting, but it improves lead quality immediately.

Your ads and your forms must speak the same language.

Targeting the right audience means nothing if your form accepts everyone.

The plugin I installed in September just passed 100,000 active installs.

WPVibe lets Claude, ChatGPT, Grok or Cursor work inside your WordPress site.

My favorite part: I can do a full redesign without touching the admin area.

And nothing sensitive happens without my approval.

I spend my days troubleshooting complex WooCommerce sites. Finding which old customization is causing weird behavior is exactly the kind of thing that eats my time. Going to give https://t.co/NzSxTEafAB a try this weekend for exactly this!

WooCommerce local pickup tells customers where to collect. It can’t ask when, or cap orders per slot.

The new Delivery & Pickup module in Merchant Pro adds dates, time slots, pickup locations, fees and booking limits to checkout, with reminders sent before the slot. 🧵

Full announcement: https://t.co/ZE5PaJ860m

It works with the classic checkout and the Checkout block. Already on Merchant Pro? It’s part of your license.
