Really good work!

Ugh. Geary is such a grifting ass. Speaking of overpricing, etch is guilty of it

FSE and Gutenberg FTW! I will never go back to pagebuilder plugins.

All good points, thanks. And so you think that the refreshed Divi will remake a splash? I think it might have been the first official Page Builder I bought way way back.

You have a tendency to hype unproven products-Etch now, and before that, Cwicly, which left users stranded. Divi, I can understand, but Etch? It’s not even a product yet! Why not recommend reliable options like Elementor and Bricks that have already proven themselves? It would better serve your audience in the long run. One would have thought the Cwicly debacle might have made you more cautious, but no-YOLO, I guess.

Nice video, like what you had to say.

there are several interesting plugins which stopps the wp org connection and you can upgrade plugins trough github or other git systems... then we dont need wp org anymore

Agree with your predictions and here are some from my side. 1. Block niche themes as you said will have hard time to get any exposure as we have very sophisticated themes, templates and builders available in market. 2. Builders based on Gutenberg/FSE will capture decent market share in future Ex: GreenShift. We can say it is a Bricks builder but in Gutenberg. 3. More and more block builders will emerge and creates some confusion around community when choosing the right stack for their websites or even for designers. 4. Elementor will continue to lead the builder market but all these other builders will take some it's share (it's good in my opinion) 5. Matt will likely not satisfied with the result of the case and may make some radical decisions to hold his grip on the WordPress and even may change some fundamentals how WordPress works now. 6. As everyone can fork WordPress and create another version but the reality is it's not at all about the software. It's about the ecosystem and community around it. It's impossible to assemble them into other version of WP. So there will be some forks but likely they won't succeed. 7. Bricks builder will become way more powerful that no other builder can even come close to it's capabilities. 8. More and more plugins and themes will pull their products from wp .org servers and host them on their own servers. 9. New webstudio may capture some market share from WordPress once they got their CMS features fully ready.

do you think custom field and custom post features like ACF ,metabox will come to core ?

What do you think of the Everest team N1 technology's marketing, the Omnipress page builder that looks like a 10 year product that they have repackaged to Gothenburg?

Good video. Thank you

Well said David!

Now I know how to use it, especially if I decide to switch to Pro. Thank you for your effort!

This is not doable for a no-coder... .

Where can i find the statement, that toolset is in maintenance mode?

I changed the colour's and logo of my website but my fluentsmpt still has my old colour's and logo. Does anyone know how to change this? Thanks

Hi David, You have email Tamara hard coded on all single team pages

thx Bro. like and subscribe

Thanks for this David. So Matt's turned this into a game of chicken?

One commenter under Joost's post put it quite accurately that point no.2 is quite bonkers. We can't expect Mullenweg to hand over his personal property (i.e. the site) just because "it would be better for everyone that way." Fun times to be a WordPress user for sure though.

Thanks for the share! We signed up for the AspirePress community. We are ready for some real change in leadership.

Thank you! Very useful.

ClassicPress Dejavu anyone! A fork goes nowhere. ClassicPress forked 4.9 and discussions are ongoing for a long time to fork 6.0. The people writing these articles are not fools. They envy what Matt has, DotOrg, and want it for themselves. There is no honour amongst thieves.

Community members should not have to feel that they must be granted anonymity in order to register their disagreement with Matt's behaviour and omnipotent Emperor status. For there to be clear understanding of the amount of momentum away from the status quo, those close to the project would ideally feel comfortable signing petitions in their own name. The fact they might not is telling.

Thanks for condensing this news and keep us up to date on this weird and unexpected situation. Hoping 2025 offers some stability in one form or another

Amazing tutorial, thx

He wanted other people to fork because he thinks after the forked all Wordpress site will belong to him … @David McCan please 🙏 we just need site migration plugin developers to work on convert Wordpress site to the new forked… let THE CEO cuddle the empty site

^__^ holiday break ^__^

As they say, “Be careful what you wish for!” To break something is easy, to build something is incredibly difficult. It’s all about the money. The assumption and excitement in your advocacy for a fork defies human nature - power, money and control. The premise that Matt is bad, but WPEngine, a PE freeloader, and the Yoast guy, Joost, who sells one of the most ridiculously overpriced seo plugin, are good, and will be noble stewards of the fork, is naive at best, destructive at worst.

Thank you, it was great

👍

Thank you David! Is there a way to display more than one at a time? In this example, can you display all the books that an author has written on the Author page? I'm trying to do something similar in Kadence Elements, but I can't get it to work.

Fluent SMTP doesn't work at all. HELP!!! MAIL FROM command failed,Insufficient system storage ,452,4.3.1SMTP server error: MAIL FROM command failed Detail: Insufficient system storage SMTP code: 452 Additional SMTP info: 4.3.1

Thank you very much Sir, you have really helped me solve this problem.

Hi David - I enjoy your teachings thankyou - do you have a newer video of crocoblock 2024/25

Great video but please attach link to the first website and add the wordpress in video title for better convenience

WHY wordpress take this step- please Understand deep and deeeply.

Thank you, thank you!

Thank you for recommendations :)

Not sure about WpVivid PRO. Personally I don't trust this plugin and their support anymore. I was very happy in the beginning but not after. Lots of things are not working as they should and they have no up to date documentation. Also, their MainWP extension is not reliable at all. Support was fast but not very helpful. It seems I am involved in a never ending troubleshooting. Much love for Advanced Themer tho :) Maxime Beguine is a super hero :))

Advanced Themer is great, but they have a bug on their checkout site. When entering personal data, the tax rate will switch to 22% for Italy. What fixes it for me (0%) is to select any other country, then again my country. About Greenshift: impressive features, especially regarding animations, but I found a couple of bugs, and the support did not impress me. Test them yourself before totally commiting.

Hi David, I think the link to your Current Sales page isn't provided above. I'd paste it here but YT never publishes my comments when they contain a link.

Great recommendations David! Also - short and sweet, recommending plugins that matter.

Thanks for the video!

GreenShift looks interesting, and so does Stackable Blocks, wonder if you have an opinion on the differences?

great tutorial. Will probably be revisiting this as I set up my community. Thanks David!
