John's Intro:

This is a value for value show and I look forward to everyone providing some value back.

Before I get started, you will want to hang around to the end of the show for our Q & A segment with Amber…. and to those listening on the podcast, you may want to check out the YouTube version which has some great discussions before the show starts…

Amber's Rant:

This is #20 of 52 episodes for 2022!

I'm a day late but: MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU!! Totally wore one of my many Star Wars shirts yesterday – it got a bunch of baking stuff on it, but it served its purpose.

Here on the Wet Coast, we have rain… again… though it IS getting warmer! We can open our windows and leave them open for longer than half an hour now! Tis very exciting. Remember to stay away from the socials, get some sunshine if it's showing its face in your area, maybe go out and play some Frisbee or something! Human interaction and exercise are a great pairing for peace within the brain meats!

Winter is leaving… Summer is coming…

(Instead of ‘winter is coming' – for those who don't get the reference like my partner, it's from Game of Thrones)

We have some news from the world of WordPress for you today as well as some great plugins.

News this week:

WordPress Vulnerability Report – May 4, 2022 (May the 4th be with you!) – There are a few plugins to think about this week, the ones I recognize most easily are: WP Subscribe, WP Invoice, Vertical scroll recent post, Turn off all comments, Wp Contacts manager, Domain Replace, and Hermit. Actually I don't think I do recognize Hermit – though I like the name. Now I want to go and check it out – I'll wait to see if it gets fixed though.

Remember to check the list of fixes for this week as well, see if any plugins you have deactivated are on the list, and be sure to update!

James Kemp acquires ReplyBox – ReplyBox is a privacy-focused comment system originally launched in 2018. It seems they were having some issues getting a strong foothold in the WordPress ecosystem, so Kemp offered to buy it. If any of our listeners currently use this, it doesn't seem like they are planning on changing the name, though Kemp is currently working on a few upgrades to release that include a lot of requests from users. If I hear about a name change or anything, I will let you know!

SpinupWP launches CLI Tool and External Database Support – SpinupWP is a cloud-based WordPress server control panel from Delicious Brain – who decided to celebrate their 4th birthday by launching one of the most frequently requested features: a command-line interface to manage servers and sites from the terminal! They have also released PHP SDK, offering you multiple options to manage your sites and servers! Totally awesome! This article goes through an interview with Brad Touesnard, founder and CEO of Delicious Brains, and they talk about the new features in depth – also where they got the idea for SpinupWP!
