Daniel Bachhuber’s Kickstarter went live only two days ago and already it is more than fully funded. Bachhuber, who maintains WP-CLI, says he’s still in shock at just how quickly the project surpassed its $17,500 goal. According to the Kickstarter page, “WP-CLI and the WP REST API offer CRUD interfaces to WordPress, and the functional components for WP-CLI’s internals are duplicated by WP REST API endpoints. By using WP REST API endpoints to power WP-CLI, we can remove a lot of code from WP-CLI.” This means that developers can push and pull posts and other REST API data with only a […]

The release of WordPress 4.4 is rapidly approaching, but people are still hard at work making this the best version yet. One of the recent tickets being addressed has made a decent amount of headway and seems to be on target for the next release. The ticket covers a longstanding problem with plugin name collisions. There have been instances where an existing plugin in the WordPress repo, which shares a name with a privately maintained plugin, has an available update. Because the plugins share directory names, hitting the update button means that the private plugin is replaced. The currently suggested solution […]
