Show Notes

The conversation focused on WordPress 7.0’s release, highlighting major features such as the new WP AI client, a modernised dashboard, improved revision tracking, enhanced gallery blocks with lightbox effects, and refined responsive controls. We also get into the delay and removal of collaborative editing due to technical challenges, discussion on performance, host involvement, and future release cycles. The discussion explored Automattic’s “radical speed month,” new browser extensions, plugin updates, and ongoing relevance of classic themes. Several points were raised, including community engagement in testing, leadership changes in the AI team, upcoming events, and the ever-present topic of the weather!
