In the past, I reviewed a client’s WordPress plugin that was rejected from the WordPress.org plugin directory. The reason wasn’t functionality, the plugin worked perfectly. The rejection came because the code didn’t meet WordPress security and performance standards. In short:…
For the past 20 years, WordPress has been the open web’s leading publishing platform. Its strength lies in its flexibility: themes, plugins, REST APIs, and hooks give developers endless ways to extend it. But as the web evolves into an…
When I first dipped my toes into blogging, I thought the hardest part would be writing consistently. But very quickly, I realized something else was just as important: choosing the right blogging platform. Think of it like this, imagine you’re…
