This Week in WordPress #388

Join Nathan Wrigley, Cami MacNamara, Lesley Sim, Robert Jacobi. The conversation focused on recent WordPress updates, including the controversial new random post feature in 7.2, the upcoming move to SVG icons in the admin, and the exploration of a centralised notifications panel. A key theme that emerged was a pushback against feature bloat and confusion around plugin bundle pricing changes from Nexcess. The discussion explored community topics such as the debate over swag at WordCamp events, new event models, and AI’s impact in WordPress, both in core and content creation. Several upcoming events and new tools for the WordPress ecosystem were also highlighted.
