@harvest Shame on you for the pricing you're implementing. From $168/year to $8,700 (5,082% increase) with your new "flex" billing. You have a great product for small businesses and agencies and you are going to ruin it.

@DerekAshauer I remind ChatGPT after almost every response. Doesn’t seem to stick. All of mine is WPCS except I do use short array syntax.

[Matt Whiteley @whiteleydesigns]

@ryandonsullivan Amazing take on this whole fiasco. 100% agree.

[Advanced Custom Fields @wp_acf]

Our ACF plugin has been taken over forcibly by wordpressdotorg without our consent.

If you are a WP Engine, Flywheel or ACF PRO customer, you do not need to take any action and will continue to get the latest from the ACF team.

If you have a site managed elsewhere using ACF, in order to get ACF updates you must perform a 1-time download of the genuine 6.3.8 version via https://t.co/UNgWc8Axp0 to remain safe in the future. The update servers for wordpressdotorg are no longer controlled by the ACF team.

You’ve been trusting ACF for over a decade. The experts that maintain ACF will continue to support and enhance the capabilities that our users love and trust.

@BenhuraT That’s fair. This is more related to something as simple as granting and admin login to WordPress. Not asking for any work.

[Matt Whiteley @whiteleydesigns]

To all developers out there. If you are losing a client please be respectful of the person taking over the site and be helpful. Do not make the transfer dreadful. I'm sure you would want proper assistance in the transfer if the roles were reversed.

[Matt Whiteley @whiteleydesigns]

@DerekAshauer @phil_webs @BillErickson @wp_acf What Bill said is correct and doable with ACF. Basically, you can only have one innerBlocks instance per ACF block. So you have a parent “tabs” block that allows innerBlocks. You then create and “tab” block that also allows innerBlocks. You add “tab” blocks within the “tabs”.

Excited to finally see the new @sugarsalted site live and looking amazing! https://t.co/5jklM6ROEf

@askwpgirl A little CSS is my starter makes them work fine. Simple block styles for more unique use-cases.

[Matt Whiteley @whiteleydesigns]

@mishterkurth @figma Yea their pricing is a bit ridiculous. I pay for it but if my designer grants me access he also has to pay for it so they get to double dip. Unless I am mistaken on that.

[Matt Whiteley @whiteleydesigns]

@colemank83 @mattmedeiros I used to use it pretty frequently but have completely removed it now since block dimensions can handle pretty much all use-cases that I’ve found.

[Matt Whiteley @whiteleydesigns]

Just launched @keynettech's new site. Very please with this one. Great IT group - highly recommended.

@jdelia @briancoords @jeffr0 License should still be valid so it should have no problem with effect.

[Matt Whiteley @whiteleydesigns]

@KatieKeithBarn2 Having the visual of the back end matching the front end is a big plus. I can see a lot of work migrating shortcodes to blocks for sure, but once done, editing would be simpler. Adding a block style is simpler than shortcodes IMO.
And there is always the shortcode block.

[Matt Whiteley @whiteleydesigns]

@RafalTomal Was that related to a boom/lull in work or just the way the project invoicing fell. I peaked around $70k and had a low of around $30k, but most of the variance was based on when projects were starting/ending so big chunks were hitting at different times, but work was steady.

[Matt Whiteley @whiteleydesigns]

@dcook @wp_acf Thanks! I missed this. It provides exactly what I was looking for. Cheers!

[Matt Whiteley @whiteleydesigns]

@dcook @wp_acf I think updated documentation on block.json showing everything that you can define would be super helpful.

[Matt Whiteley @whiteleydesigns]

@mishterkurth Well worth the money for me!

[Matt Whiteley @whiteleydesigns]

@GijoVarghese_ @eddwp @wisdmlabs Client was beginning to sell products and needed some other functionality EDD didn’t offer. Didn’t want EDD and Woo both running on the same site and creating confusion (separate account pages, for example)

[Matt Whiteley @whiteleydesigns]

@GijoVarghese_ @eddwp @wisdmlabs Yes. I recall some issues after it was “done” that required some manual fixing and they had to go in a few times and manually fix things, but overall it was pretty good. It was over 500 subscriptions so it was a lot of data. Not flawless, but good.
