[ad_1] Recipe slide from the MakeStories WordPress plugin. Earlier today, MakeStories launched version 2.0 of its plugin for creating Web Stories with WordPress.

With the new version, users can build and edit their stories directly from the WordPress admin. Version 2.0 of the plugin still requires an account and a connection with the MakeStories.io website.

[ad_1] WordPress Gutenberg 9.2 is here and it comes with a security fix and many improvements, bringing Gutenberg closer to being a fully developed way of creating web pages. Security Fix This security fix addresses a particularly nasty form of attack called a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) attack. A ReDos attack causes a server to overload CPU usage, bringing the server to a halt. Image Alt Text Fallback The next notable change is to add an alt text fallback for when no alt text is specified.
