Taken from microblogging

> Some extracts: > >> Stunningly, Automattic’s CEO Matthew Mullenweg threatened that if WP Engine did not agree to pay Automattic – his for-profit entity – a very large sum of money before his September 20th keynote address at the WordCamp US Convention, he was going to embark on a self-described “scorched earth nuclear approach” toward WP Engine within the WordPress community and beyond. When his outrageous financial demands were not met, Mr. Mullenweg carried out his threats by making repeated false claims disparaging WP Engine to its employees, its customers, and the world. Mr. Mullenweg has carried out this wrongful campaign against WP Engine in multiple outlets, including via his keynote address, across several public platforms like X,YouTube, and even on the Wordpress.org site, and through the WordPress Admin panel for all WordPress users, including directly targeting WP Engine customers in their own private WordPress instances used to run their online businesses > >> During calls on September 17th and 19th, for instance, Automattic CFO Mark Davies told a WP Engine board member that Automattic would “go to war” if WP Engine did not agree to pay its competitor Automattic a significant percentage of its gross revenues – tens of millions of dollars in fact – on an ongoing basis. Mr. Davies suggested the payment ostensibly would be for a “license” to use certain trademarks like WordPress, even though WP Engine needs no such license. WP Engine’s uses of those marks to describe its services – as all companies in this space do – are fair uses under settled trademark law and consistent with WordPress’ own guidelines. Automattic’s CFO insisted that WP Engine provide its response to this demand immediately and later, on the day of the keynote, followed up with an email reiterating a claimed need for WP Engine to concede to the demands “before Matt makes his WCUS keynote at 3:45 p.m. PDT today.” > >> In parallel and throughout September 19 and 20, Mr. Mullenweg embarked on a series of harassing text messages and calls to WP Engine’s board member and also its CEO, threatening that if WP Engine did not agree to pay up prior to the start of Mr. Mullenweg’s livestreamed keynote address at 3:45pm on September 20, he would go “nuclear” on WP Engine, including by smearing its name, disparaging its directors and corporate officers, and banning WP Engine from WordPress community events. > > They... they have text message captures. In the pdf. Matt Mullenweg was trying to extort them ... by text messages. They seem to have the entire thing in the writting. > >> In the final minutes leading up to his keynote address, Mr. Mullenweg sent one last missive: a photo of the WordCamp audience waiting to hear his speech, with the message that he could shift gears and turn his talk into “just a Q&A” if WP Engine agreed to pay up > > They finish requesting Automattic to "preserve, and not destroy, any and all documents or information in their possession, custody, or control that may be relevant to any dispute between WP Engine and Automattic". They are going to war, big time. > > All this crap is just because they refuse to pay his protection money. And the guy has been stupid enough to put everything in writting.

This might not be new, I hadn't dealt with WordPress/WooCommerce in a while.

Currently (v8.8.2) in a new WooCommerce installation the "Checkout" page is created using blocks, like so:

``` <!-- wp:woocommerce/checkout-payment-block --> <div class="wp-block-woocommerce-checkout-payment-block"></div> <!-- /wp:woocommerce/checkout-payment-block -->

(...) ```

The problem

This might introduce breaking changes to the plugins and themes you normally use. For example, I couldn't add a new field - programatically or using a plugin.

The fix

Remove the blocks and revert to using the shortcode:

[woocommerce_checkout]

Looks like I'm gonna have to migrate the Daily Drop to buttondown after all. This AI content theft is a \\\\ move by @wordpress and I hope they pay dearly for it.

@wordpress If a account doesn't purchase a package after the 7-day trial period, what will happen to the account and store? Will they always be in the state it was set to at that time?

@wordpress What payment methods buyers can use to purchase items from the stores on WordPress

@wordpress Hi,How to set the payment method of article payment plan to other payment tools other than Stripe. I sent you messages on Messenger and it may have been put in spam. But I have received messages from you back to me, so you can see those messages when you check them

@wordpress I see that the free trial version does not add PayPal settings. In addition to adding PayPal, what other online payment tools can be added?

@wordpress Why does WordPress still only support Stripe payments? Wouldn’t it be very convenient for users to pay and receive money by allowing the use of more online payment tools? For example the Paypal in the United States that is the most widely used and has the largest number of users in the world.

I love how @wordpress just randomly decides to stop collecting stats. Then one day I'll open the #Jetpack dashboard and find it telling me to activate stats again. That invariably says it failed, but actually works (reloading the page shows it). But then there is a gap where it decided not to bother collecting information.

Like below where apparently at some point on January 8/9 it just deactivated itself.

I'm about to move a wp site installed with a one-click installer, but want to make a "proper" installation at the new host. Are there any special issues with such a transfer I should be aware of? @wordpress \#wordpress

Hooked up my @wordpress blog with the new ActivityPub integration. Easy to configure. Feel free to follow along here - @bradbarrish.com

Moin,

ich weiss nicht, ob es an #Wordpress selbst oder an unserem Hoster #netcup liegt: Wir verzeichnen im Monat deutlich über 1000 Angriffe auf unsere Website. Ohne #Wordfence wäre sie schon mehrmals übernommen worden.

Wisst ihr, woran das liegen könnte? Ist das üblich?

@wordpress #followerpower

Hi! Not sure if self promotion is allowed, but I wanted to share my plugin I just launched. It's called Debrandify and it allows you to completely remove, replace and control all the WordPress-related branding on your site.

This includes things like login logo, tab titles, admin footer, emails... You can either remove it entirely or replace it with your own texts and logos.

I also included some bonus features to make your WordPress site a little lighter.

You can download it on wordpress.org as any other plugin and check out the GitHub repository.

If you like it, please give it a review and comment on wordpress.org, it will help with SEO!

Thank you 🙏

Pfupfert es euch auch so, bei @TaskCards und Padlet auf 2 Pinnwände beschränkt zu sein, keinen Import/Export zu haben und damit auch kein #OER machen zu können? Eigentlich braucht es nur ein bisschen @wordpress und horizontales Scrolling z.B. mit Stackable. #FediLZ #WordPress #TaskCards #Padlet

Hey nerds! I used #WordPress heavily in the years before #gutenberg. I'm trying to get back into using it but I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around Gutenberg and #blocks in general. Can anybody point me at some good introductory videos to get me more comfortable? Blog posts are fine, too but I learn better visually! (Tagging a couple of accounts that might be able to help, but any response is welcome.) @wordpress @david
