WordPress search returns matches. Your visitors need relevance.
Query Filters 2.0 is here, FSE blocks, no shortcode, no custom php.
WordPress search has always been a text scanner. Matches, not relevance. 2.0 changes that, weighted index, fuzzy matching, synonym dictionary, proximity scoring. All inside WordPress. No external services.

Big words? Nope. Data! The lack of accessibility in your site has been tanking your rankings. Come to my talk at #WCEU on Friday June 5, 3:15pm CEST.
Rather meet over coffee in the venue and discuss? calendly.com/annebovelett/an…

Today's my last day as Head of AI at Automattic, and Core AI lead for WordPress. Shocking to think it's been only 18 months since the WPAI acquisition.
j.cv/closing-a-chapter/
So much has happened. We formed Core AI for @WordPress, built the AI Building Blocks (the last ships in 7.0), grew Automattic AI from from ~10 folks to 50 , and #core-ai went from 0 to 1,000 .
@automattic shipped AI site builders, built-in agents, Telex, agentic commerce in Woo, Parsely Sage, MCPs… an incredible group to get to work with each day, async or in the NoHo space.

If you know that you can unlock 23% more quality traffic to your website through accessibility, and you are a developer, this talk by @DjevaLoperka about accessibility with the interactivity API is one to watch as soon as it lands in @WordPress TV! She shows building an accordion block as an example during @wp_portugal ❤️

Did you receive a cancellation mail from @screenstudio? ⬇️
May 13
Heads up: some Screen Studio users received a subscription cancellation email from Lemon Squeezy.
We're in touch with Lemon Squeezy and looking into the root cause. This should not affect your access to the app. We'll post an update as soon as we know more.

RT @gregorykennedy Don't listen to any of the negative feedback you get at work. Don't ruminate. Don't reflect. Find a way to turn all your quirks into a competitive advantage.

Every founder who sells their company has to let go. I've been letting go since last fall.
It's still hard to see a brand you built destroyed.

Catalog management in WooCommerce should feel faster at scale.
Inline variations. Quick edit. Bulk edits. Fewer trips in and out of product screens
If you manage large catalogs, what still feels too slow?

I’ve published a post based on my @checkoutsummit talk: 5 real reasons to choose WooCommerce, based on a year of building on Shopify too.
Once you strip away some common myths, it becomes much clearer where WooCommerce actually wins.

Effective today, we are:
1) Doubling Claude Code’s 5-hour rate limits for Pro, Max, and Team plans;
2) Removing the peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max plans; and
3) Substantially raising our API rate limits for Opus models.
