It’s time to take a quick survey. If you have 2 minutes to spare, could you head to thewpminute.com/survey and take my 34 question survey about this podcast? It’s going to help shape the future of the content here — which I’ll get into. As 2023 wound down, I promised myself to stay out of all of the polarizing…
Thanks for taking our podcast survey. 👏
Advanced Custom Fields is a popular WordPress plugin for developers. The free version has over 2 million active installations. The “PRO” version adds an untold number more. The plugin, owned by WP Engine, sees frequent updates. Most consist of adding new features and squashing bugs. However, a recent announcement got the WordPress community’s attention. Version…
Cory Miller and I discuss how the WordPress community is impacted when “big issues” clash with Matt, Automattic, and other community members. How should we handle these moments of passion and strife? It’s easy to label these issues as WPDrama, but in my opinion that’s not doing the WordPress community any favors. From the exterior,…
To paraphrase WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg, “Let the data be free!” His mention of a “Data Liberation” initiative was a highlight of the 2023 State of The Word address.

Here on the WP Minute, Eric Karkovack asked, “Can Gutenberg and WordPress Page Builders Coexist?” his debate has been raging ever since the Gutenberg project launched. I used to fall into the “page builders will crush Gutenberg” camp. Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder – they were just so far ahead in terms of features and flexibility….
I recently had an insightful discussion with Rytis Lauris, co-founder and CEO of the email marketing platform Omnisend, on the WP Minute+. Even after nearly 10 years in business, Rytis described Omnisend as still being in “startup mode.” He credits staying bootstrapped with helping maintain their agility to pivot based on customer feedback, rather than…
