Announcing FlipWP 🚀 The private acquisition marketplace for WordPress. Together with @AlexDenning, I’ve just launched @flip_wp, a service to connect sellers of #WordPress businesses with buyers looking to specifically acquire WordPress companies. flipwp.co

And it only took less than 24h for this to pop up on every composer run: "Info from wpackagist.org: WPackagist is now maintained by WP Engine. Learn more at wpengine.com" Which I'm sure is a permanent message that will just shift to marketing. Prove me wrong🤡

@retlehs As you will know, the majority of WPackagist users will predominantly interact with the service via the CLI, not the website - so this is a good place to alert them of the change of ownership

FYI Composer repos can include an ‘info’ field in packages.json that displays messages to every developer on install/update. Any repo maintainer could use this to push ads, upsells, or whatever else directly into your terminal wp-composer.com will never do this

@soderlind @wpengine Outlandish are working with GitHub to remove that program! We appreciate your long term support!

@wpengine I can then discontinue my sponsorship 😇

We've acquired WPackagist. If you use Composer to manage WordPress plugins and themes, you probably already know it. Now it's part of the WP Engine family. WPackagist enables developers to install and manage WordPress plugins and themes using Composer, the PHP dependency manager. Millions of requests every week with thousands of developers relying on it daily. It's essential infrastructure for modern development on WordPress software. WPackagist joins Local, ACF, WP Migrate, and WP Offload Media in our developer tools lineup. We believe that ensuring the stability and reliability of critical developer infrastructure is essential to the WordPress ecosystem. Big thanks to @outlandish for building and maintaining @wpackagist for over a decade. We're proud to carry it forward. Read more: wpengine.com/blog/wp-engine…

WPackagist has been acquired by @wpengine. For over a decade, Outlandish built and maintained this service. Now WP Engine is carrying it forward - with the same commitment to the developer community in the WordPress ecosystem.

Another FlipWP listing added to the @flip_wp site today and emailed to registered members 🙌

I’ve had a lot of fun testing this out!

🚀 ACF 6.7 is here and Inline Editing for ACF Blocks has landed. No more side panels. No more breaking the creative rhythm. Click → type → done. Inline Editing has been one of the most requested ACF Blocks updates ever. Let’s take a tour 👇

@lesley_pizza The thinking would have been done well before my time, by Elliot, which is my way of saying "it's always been like this" 😂 But I think @glenton covers it pretty well tbh x.com/Chozen/status/…

Paging @polevaultweb! I'd love to hear the thinking behind all of this!

Does anyone know why ACF forces you to create a group when creating a new field? Why not create a field and assign groups similar to categories and posts?

@mikemcalister @jeremypollock @wp_acf Ha, thanks Mike! Tell me more, a catch up is over due mate

@jeremypollock @wp_acf Native block editor support! Surveys are against my religion (Amish), but surely this can be passed onto someone very important inside WPE.

Come on, #WordPress fans! Tell us how @wp_acf can be better and help make WordPress an even better CMS for the future!

@A5hleyRich @laravelphp Congrats mate!
