Another week, and we're bringing you the latest WordPress news from the last seven days, chunked into the usual helpful sections. Sadly, there was no "This Week in WordPress" Show, as the platform we use for the LIVE feed had a problem! Sorry about that!

This Week in WordPress #363 with Nathan Wrigley, Jess Frick, Marc Benzakein, Marcus Burnette. This episode covers a range of WordPress-related topics, including the upcoming release of WordPress 6.9.1, the launch of a new centralised home for WordPress education initiatives, and trusted companies and individuals in the WordPress ecosystem. The panel also dives into the evolving role of AI in WordPress, discussing benchmarks, industry changes, and the impact of AI-driven advertising. Lighter moments feature fun conversations about corgis, alligators, and community experiences, all while emphasising the importance of collaboration, humility, and adapting to new technologies within the WordPress space.

The WordPress news from the last week which commenced Monday 17th March 2025. Today we're joined by Remkus de Vries, Anna Hurko and Jonathan Overall. We discuss the proposed move to one major WordPress release annually, sparking concerns about developer and user impacts. We explore Visa challenges for WordCamp Asia 2026 attendees and the implications of WordPress's update frequency on market competitiveness. The episode highlights Cloudflare’s AI Labyrinth security feature and discusses the pros and cons of speculative loading in WordPress 6.8. Attendees' experiences at CloudFest, a large European event with diverse tech showcases and hackathons, are also shared.

In this episode of the WP Builds podcast, "The 'Nice Show' with Mark Westguard - Ep 1", I'm joined by... erm... Mark Westguard to introduce a new, lighthearted show focused on positivity, and silliness. We chat about nice people like Michelle Frechette and Joe Dolson, highlight Mark's recent updates to WS Form, discuss upcoming WordPress community events, and explore the merits of the Bluesky social network. We share personal stories and end with a humorous short video recommendation for those who like burping. The goal is to provide an antidote to online negativity and foster a cheerful atmosphere. I hope that we succeed!
