Product updates

LearnDash has taken to the clouds with its latest hosted version of the popular WordPress LMS plugin.

SpotlightWP has launched a new analytics dashboard for those of you posting to WordPress and the gram.

Pure HTML and CSS WordPress builder LiveCanvas has launched their builder version 3.

Product acquisition

Amber Hinds' Equalize Digital has sold their WP Conference Schedule plugin to Events Calendar:

“Earlier this year, we realized that continuing to support WP Conference Schedule no longer made sense,” said Hinds, “It was a distraction from our mission to improve accessibility in WordPress and took development and marketing time away from Accessibility Checker.”

Events

A call for organizers has been placed by the WordCamp Euorope 2023 team.

The Grab bag!

• Call for sponsors for WordPress Accessibility Day 2022
• See what it looks like for a hacker to attack a WordPress wesbite.
• Congrats to WordPress Historian Jeff Chandler for taking on a new role at WP Engine.
• Part 2 with Corey Maass on Matt Report, Building Amazing Products.
