The WordPress news from the last week, which commenced on Monday 16th May 2022
Another week, and we’re bringing you the latest WordPress news from the last seven days, including…
- Firstly, sorry that there was no This Week in WordPress show, I tried really hard to make it happen, but sometimes events conspire against you, and this was one of those times. We’ll be back next week!
- Have you tried the new Pattern Creator tool? It’s really neat and can help you get your patterns into the Pattern Directory. Listen to a podcast about it.
- MainWP have added a cool new cache control feature to their plugin!
- There’s a few deals this week, especially in Affinity desktop tools.
- WP Tavern is hiring! Do you like to write about WordPress? This could be just for you.
There’s a whole lot more than this, as there is each and every week, and you can find all that by scrolling down and clicking on the links!
