Ok its been forever since I've been active here. Who's still here in the #wordpress community? Also: is there still not a way to remove followers? I have far too many political followers who clearly don't know who I am, and I only want to talk about dev/business/wordpress.

The Bricks 2.0 release is looking slick 🔥 I think now would be a good time to mention something we've been cooking - a very tight integration with Search & Filter 🥳 This integration has been built on top of Bricks 2.0 and won't be compatible with earlier versions. Release is imminent ⏰

It's here! v1.20 of Turbo Admin for #WordPress is rolling out through auto updates in your browser. It has the mythical plugin installs and user switching in the command palette. And it's great!! Read all about it: rosswintle.uk/2025/05/addi... And see it in action...

I noticed over the last few years a drop off in transactions via PayPal - today I thought I'd look at the stats! Over half of sales were via PayPal back in 2020 (the highest point was 60% in 2017) and now they're down to 24%. I wonder if this is going to decline even further

% gateway sales via PayPal and Stripe over the years.

2025 - Stripe 76% / PayPal 24%
2024 - Stripe 73% / PayPal 27%
2023 - Stripe 61% / PayPal 39%
2022 - Stripe 53% / PayPal 47%
2021 - Stripe 50% / PayPal 50%
2020 - Stripe 47% / PayPal 53%

Nothing like dogfooding your own product 😅 We've just relaunched our new documentation section powered by Search & Filter Pro ™️ searchandfilter.com/documentation/ Honestly, using our own plugin for our documentation uncovered so many tiny little issues - it was totally worth doing for that alone.
