Ariele Lite, the latest theme from Rough Pixels, went live in the WordPress theme directory today. In an ecosystem where designers are dubbing most themes as multipurpose, it is refreshing to see a well-designed theme that is unafraid to cater specifically to bloggers.

It is not often that I get the opportunity to test a brand new theme from the official WordPress theme directory that supports block editor styles. Or, at least it’s not often that I test one that lives up to the claim. Despite a couple of trivial issues, Ariele Lite is a theme that will appeal to a wide…

Patch now against critical vulnerability

Webmasters who use WordPress plugin Adning Advertising are urged to patch against a critical vulnerability that is reportedly being exploited in the wild.

Exploitation of the flaw enables an unauthenticated attacker to upload arbitrary files, leading to remote code execution (RCE) and potentially a full site takeover.

Such is the flaw’s seriousness, MITRE has assigned it the highest possible CVSS score – 10.0.

Researchers at Wordfence, a popular security solution for WordPress, also discovered a high…

The Grow by Mediavine WordPress plugin had multiple bugs that interfered with the WP Rocket and Autoptimize plugins. Some sites experienced a lack of rankings because of this issue.

Sites that had rankings in the top of the page Google carousels lost their rankings.

Others lost the rich results images that normally accompany their search results.

When a WordPress plugin causes an issue with another plugin, that’s called a conflict. That’s what happened in this case.

A conflict between the Grow social sharing plugin and the other plugins caused issues with structured data, resulting in…

Did anybody listen to Peter Thiel? In 2011, the billionaire co-founder of PayPal, dubbed “contrarian investor” by the New York Times, created the Thiel Fellowship. A collection of 24 youngsters under the age of 20 were awarded $100,000 in exchange for dropping out of college to start tech companies.

Thiel said:

I believe you have a bubble whenever you have something that’s overvalued and intensely believed. In education, you have this clear price escalation without incredible improvement in the product. At the same time you have this incredible intensity of belief that…

One widespread belief among webmasters is that attackers typically only compromise websites in a couple of ways: by exploiting vulnerabilities or stealing login credentials.

Although these are certainly two of the more common attack vectors, another method is often overlooked — but the result is just as hazardous. Whenever an attacker can successfully trick a website owner into installing a backdoor on their website, they are able to accomplish the exact same goal: unauthorized access.

Nulled & Pirated Website Software

One extremely common method hackers use to trick website owners is to…

Jetpack 8.7 was released this week with an exciting new feature that allows users to “unroll” a tweetstorm and publish it in a post. The feature works inside the Tweet block. After a user embeds a tweet, it will automatically detect a tweetstorm and display a prompt to fetch the rest of the tweets. It functions in a similar way to the Thread Reader app, except the unrolled thread is hosted on your WordPress post.

Tweetstorms remain a controversial way to get a lengthy point across. Twitter users with large followings will often get wider exposure and more traction and…

Australian startup Oovvuu, which uses AI to deliver context appropriate video content to accompany news stories, has been made a global technology partner by WordPress VIP, a move that will see its technology integrated into some of the world’s largest news websites.

Oovvuu uses proprietary machine learning technology to read news articles, watch videos and match them together, “to improve news reporting and generate billions in advertising dollars.”

Its customers and partners include the BBC, Reuters, The Associated Press, The Guardian and Seven West Media.

Thousands of vulnerable websites need to apply the patch to avoid RCE.

The plugin’s author, Tunafish, has rolled out a patched version (v.1.5.6), which site owners should update to as soon as possible. No CVE was issued.

The bug could allow complete site takeover, earning it a 10 out of 10 on the CVSS bug-severity scale. Also, it has already been the subject of in-the-wild…

WordPress.com offers numerous website building, hosting, and blogging options at a reasonable price—it even has a free tier. Though it started life as a pure blogging play, and still includes blog community features, WordPress.com now handles most website building needs, including commerce, social integrations, and mobile presentation. The service lacks the drag-and-drop simplicity that many competing services offer, but it’s a solid, low-cost option for people who want to get online relatively quickly.

From the outset, it’s important to make clear that WordPress.com is not…
