ToggleWP Agency Plan modules - Site Sync A look at the early build of the new Parent / Child Site Sync module which will be included in the @ToggleWP Agency plan. Sync enabled modules and settings from a central site to many child sites in minutes. Narrator: Please note this is an unscripted video of the in-development version. PS. Sorry for the super sized cursor. youtu.be/tyXVe94aF10

@WarrenLNaida The fabled "green field" projects using "the latest tech".

Let’s be clear: fabricating job or project offers isn’t marketing - it’s misconduct. No one has an interest in collaborating with companies that operate this way. Do better.

@pootlepress @automattic

Just seen a thing that has been built in @automattic , can’t talk about it yet , but it’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

@PineDigitalCo That on mobile? Not seeing that on the web version.

What have we here? 👇

@PoeHaH I think @KatieKeithBarn2 has previously mentioned aggregate numbers across the Barn2 plugins with percentage of renewals by year.

📈Around 45% of subscribers renew their subscription for a 2nd year. I find that quite low but I have no idea what the industry standards are. Are you willing to share yours? 👀

InfluenceWP First Look Get 25% off this WordPress plugin to take the GenerateBlocks Query block to another level with term and user queries and meta comparisons to build anything, all without custom PHP. No Affiliation. No Sponsorship. Just Info & Deals. influencewp.com/iwp/gbqe

My "URL Need This" browser extension is getting some attention and will be moving to a WordPress based backend to store packages and provide the visitor UI. You'll own your own data, and visit stats, with the ability to display packages in your sites own branding. Recpients won't need the extension as everything is accessed via a dedicated package URL. Why might this be handy? If you are researching a topic and have a lot of URLs to share its a pain to do it one by one. With URL Need This you can click the mouse 3 times and have everything behind 1 URL.

@TheCre8tiveDiva Great. I'll sort out some 100% discount codes for you early next week once I've caught up on some other tasks.

@FriendlyWebGuy Oh, that wasn't toward you! But happy to try your plugins! I have a ton of staging sites set up I can try them on. Just send me a DM!

If I am going to be a cheerleader and not some negative Nancy in these groups, I think I should get free products. That's the least they could do. 😝😜

@TheCre8tiveDiva I'm not yet, but sounds like it could be worth joining. Some groups are picky on self promo, so a mention by a 3rd party would be great.

@FriendlyWebGuy Are you in the Kadence FB group? You could always share that in the group to see if there would be interest. I bet there would be. If you're not in there, I could share it for you.

Todays mini plugin is "Email Router for Kadence Forms". Out of the box a Kadence form submission can be sent to a default email, but it lacks the built-in ability to route to other people based on a value. This plugin solves that. Select a form, pick a selection field and override the Send To email address as required.

@TheCre8tiveDiva That's good to know. I created it for a client site but if it sounds more widely benefitial I'll make a plugin page for it next week and put it up as a low cost one-timer, see if it can help any others.

@FriendlyWebGuy This is pretty neat! I'm using Kadence mostly now.

I have @ToggleWP with a mix of client benefits but its mostly aimed at the freelancer / agency who builds & maintains sites. Do I start a new modular plugin thats solely for the site owner, which could comprise of CSV Importer / CPT Listing / URL Need This, or add to Toggle but work on the pitching for different audience types?

@KatieKeithBarn2 That's what spending too much time playing with AI does to people!

These videos are my favorite thing right now, so I couldn’t resist joining in 🤣 The bit at the end where the lettuce flies out of my mouth was NOT planned...

@Steve_NHS I didn't think 747's were that old!

The giant crane on the side of a @lufthansa 747 is pretty impressive, celebrating their centennial anniversary.

@alexcloudstar Thank goodness AI is here to save us all...... oh....

Hot take: Stack Overflow made developers dumber. Instead of understanding the problem, we copy-paste solutions we don't understand. The result? Production systems held together by code nobody on the team can explain.

@mailerpress Love it! Sending welcome emails to new subscribers is something I'm keen to roll out to the sites I manage. Will it be out in beta at some point soon?

🚨 Automations are coming to MailerPress... Get a first look at what’s coming in v2.0 👀 This is just the beginning 🔥 🎥 Watch the sneak peek: youtu.be/WUnrSCz44RY

@PineDigitalCo *Mouse not included.

There’s inflation, but c’mon. Every other piece is like this. 🤣

@usefathom I'd be interested. I have about 20 sites with you and a few that are higher traffic (by my small standards).

We're building out our 2026 roadmap and need more beta testers. You'd have early access to everything we're building and you'd help us shape Fathom. It's a group of 7 right now and we'd like to grow it to 20-30, so please get in touch if you're interested!

I had a few unsavory experiences on the sites of some hosting and plugin companies in the past weeks. Dear companies, IF you do CX reports, you probably see broken journeys. And then your finance system shows the high overhead in support, right? According to Gartner benchmarks, the gap between a self-service and a live contact is $11.66 per escalation. At 10,000 escalations that is $116,600 a year in avoidable support costs. And guess what… The cause is not in either report. I wrote about what your measurement model is missing, backed up by hard data, and why the fix is less dramatic than the cost suggests. 👉 hubs.ly/Q047gl3x0 PS Going to @cloudfest? Want to talk about this? Shoot me a DM!

@Steve_NHS Got the tea bags to go with them?

Getting the snacks ready for the table at the @cloudfest Hackathon... #cfhack
