WooCommerce is rebranding to Woo.

This video walks-through changes coming to the WooCommerce editor page, which are currently in beta.

Bricks Advanced Themer 2.1 from Maxime Beguin is now available. Advanced Themer is a toolbox focusing on CSS class and variable creation and management, helpers in the Bricks editor focused on theming, and much more. The great thing about it is that the features are modular and can be enabled as you want to use them.

ACF vs Meta Box – In this video I do a simple comparison of ACF and Meta Box performance. It is difficult to compare them because they have different architectures, but we learn some things in the video and are able to draw some conclusions.

This Saturday morning I caught up on the livestream with Paul Charlton and Dave Foy. It is a good discussion of Bricks and will be of interest to people thinking of giving Bricks a try and for people just getting into Bricks. They talk about how they came to choose Bricks, what its strengths are, and different ways to get started.

WordPress is adding a Form Block! It is showing up first in Gutenberg 16.9.

This is interesting for front-end developers – the article is about creating web components with vanilla HTML, JS, and CSS. Hat tip to Vitalii Kiiko in the Builderius Facebook group.

This short video from Jamie Marsland shows the new features coming to the Gutenberg editor in 6.4. It would be easy to overlook some of these, so worth the look.
