This article outlines three things that freelancers need from WordPress. The discussion is well balanced and makes some good points.

Some site builders take the approach that the website belongs to the client and the client gets full control. Others restrict client access to what they need to get their job done and hide the rest. In this article the author argues for teaching the client only what they need to know.

My thought is that it depends on the client, the website, and the contract.

There have been a number of plugins that have repeated had security issues, even among the bigger players. In this editorial I suggest that it is time for the big players to start having their plugins audited for security. When we evaluate plugins we check for a money back guarantee, that they tell about themselves on the website, that they have positive reviews, are actively providing support, and so on. Lets start politely asking about independent security audits.

A personal reflection by Matt Mullenweg. This is what its really about.

Jamie Marsland poses the question, has the plugin version of Gutenberg served its purpose and is it time now to close it out and move on?

This post rambles a bit, but the author looks at the two ways of using WordPress, classic vs blocks, which seem to be becoming more pronounced and separate.

Block themes lack responsive controls by device size in the Site Editor. In this article Mike McAlister, the developer of the new Ollie block theme, discusses the current intrinsic design / fluid scaling approach and suggests a way that responsive overrides might be implemented.

Robby McCullough of the Beaver Builder team published on their blog a post about why limited site licenses don’t make sense for GPL products. (note that he republished this article from 5 years ago as it is still relevant).

From the WebTNG newsletter comes an in-depth editorial looking at block themes and discussing reactions to Gutenberg and the Site Editor. The author suggests that viewing Gutenberg as a “dumpster fire” is a fallacy.
