Who I am.

Finally got the time to start with @remkusdevries’ course about “Make WordPress Fast” and I’ve already learned a lot before even reaching the first quarter.

Wait, there’s one more new meetup in Salzburg: meetup.com/wordpress-meet…

Last WP Meetup* before @WPVienna If you haven’t got your ticket yet grab one now: vienna.wordcamp.org

@steipete Can’t find one in Austria 😕

This is humbling and insane and amazing. 🫶🦞luma.com/claw

@thewpweekly Thanks for sharing Davinder!

Sponsor WordCamp Vienna 2026 >

Organizing WordCamp Vienna 2026 right now means hearing a lot of “no.” That’s okay. What’s frustrating are hurdles that feel harder than they need to be. If you care about supporting the WordPress community, consider sponsoring WCVienna: vienna.wordcamp.org/2026/en/sponso…

Even though I approve *SOME* regulations, that’s a valid point why we can’t have nice things.

Congratulations Peter! The EU lost its chance to create conditions where companies like this are built - and stay.

@i_am_fabs Cool, hast du schon vor Claude und co. Erfahrungen mit App Entwicklung gehabt?

Es gibt hunderte Apps mit denen man ein Bild aus einem Video extrahieren kann. Aber alle sind so shitty und low quality oder haben eine subscription, dass ich letztens in ein paar Stunden meine Traum App dafür gemacht habe. Claude Code ftw. 🚀🚀🚀

@remkusdevries The NOT is kind of important here 😄 I hesitate. Maybe I start on a dedicated droplet and increase permission gradually.

*NOT ready

I see people left and right automating things with OpenClaw, but I'm ready to give it that kind of unbridled access to all my data. Sure, I've played around with it, but quite neutered. I need it to be less vibed and way more stable and secure. Even on a dedicated MacMini. Just me?

European teams should boycot the 2026 FIFA world cup in US.

@SteveJBurge Run custom JS or custom analytic events. How internal links are handled by default? Maybe list all anchors and make it easy to add.

@xaver_ Thanks 👍 mailto, tel etc is a good idea We may start with a better filter options. Help people decide to search for a post, a term, an image, or something else.

I'd love our team to try and tackle the linking feature in Gutenberg. By default, there's a lot of noise including attachments, terms, images etc before we get to the posts and pages. - Does anyone have feedback on this feature currently? - Ideas on how it could be better?

@SteveJBurge The best feature imo is pasting a link over a selected text but this doesn’t need an UI. Better support for other protocols (mailto, tel) would be nice. Not sure what else is missing.

@xaver_ That's true about the search. And yes, it's possible to modify it. At the moment, we're thinking about how to make this more configurable and useful for users.

@mikhail_b_ I don’t like these kind of clients 😄 Either they lack of general knowledge and try to do all on their own or my documentation/help is bad. I do get feedback though but it’s often for specific needs which doesn’t make it in the plugin.

WordPress plugin owners - do you also have clients who almost become friends? The kind of people you have been exchanging emails with for years, who regularly suggest improvements to your product and occasionally ask for fixes or small tweaks.

Just booked my train to #WCEurope in Krakow. It was only €30,- 😁

@idavinder One of my favorit newsletters for sure! Keep ‘em coming!

Writing the last issue of WPWeekly for 2025... It's been over 5 years now - time flies for sure!

@FriendlyWebGuy That’s a great idea!

Some premium plugins don't email you ahead of renewal, hoping to catch you off guard and lock you in for another year. You could create a calendar reminder for a plugin license renewal, but what happens if the person who purchased it isn't the maintainer of the site? RemindMeWP is the simple way to track your license renewal dates from your site's dashboard. Each reminder can be associated with a particular plugin. Delete that plugin and you'll get an instant "cancel renewal" reminder email. If you pay attention to the notice email you'll never need to auto renew a plugin that's no longer used on your site. RemindMeWP is coming soon (ish).

@remkusdevries On my way

Who will I see at #WCNL this week?
