WPWeekly Episode 170 – I’ve Got Your Drama Right Here

Since our guest couldn’t make it due to illness, Marcus Couch and I took the opportunity to thank all of the wonderful listeners who responded to our call to action in episode 169. I followed up the first segment with a 10-15 minute rant beginning at 13:25 on WP Drama. Marcus and I agree that it’s a dismissive term and doesn’t offer anything productive to the WordPress ecosystem. After the rant, we discuss the news of the week and Marcus gives his two-word review of Ghost.

Stories Discussed:

WooConf, The First Ever Conference Dedicated to WooCommerce Deemed a Success
Why WordPress Doesn’t Need to Fear Ghost, Yet
John James Jacoby Launches Indiegogo Campaign to Fund BuddyPress, bbPress, and GlotPress Development
Happy Joe Uses WordPress to Train and Help Veterans Find Careers in Web Technology

Plugins Picked By Marcus:

Google Webfont Optimizer finds every Google Fonts request and bulks them together so the site only asks Google once for the fonts instead of multiple times.

Note is a simple and easy to use widget for editing bits of text, live, in your WordPress front-end Customizer. Note was recently reviewed on WP Tavern.

BAW Login/Logout menu enables you to add a real login/logout item menu that autoswitches when a user is logged in or out. You can also configure a redirect for the login/logout action.
