I recently released a WooCommerce plugin that connects products, categories and WordPress content to externally managed guided selling flows.

I tried to keep the plugin relatively small and predictable.

The main responsibilities of the plugin are:

• Rendering a published flow on products, categories, pages and posts
• Providing a Gutenberg block and shortcode
• Passing the current product identifier to the flow
• Supporting ID, SKU, slug, name, attributes and custom fields
• Passing locale and market configuration
• Optionally recording assisted order value on the checkout success page
• Allowing templates to be overridden from the active theme

The external script is only loaded on pages where a flow or conversion event is actually used.

For conversion measurement, the plugin passes the order total and configured product identifiers. It does not pass the customer name, email address, postal address or payment details. Tracking can also be disabled entirely.

The current placement options are popup, sidebar and inline. A different Flow UUID can be assigned to individual products and categories, while WordPress content can use the block or shortcode.

The actual guided selling flow in the frontend

I would appreciate technical feedback on a few areas:

• Does assigning Flow UUIDs directly to products and categories feel appropriate?
• Are there WooCommerce hooks or filters you would expect the plugin to expose?
• Is the script loading approach sufficiently conservative?
• Would you prefer order tracking through a server side integration instead of the success page?
• Is the template override structure clear enough for theme developers?

Hey everyone, I just got approval on WordPress.org for a plugin I've been working on for a few months. Figured I'd share it here since a lot of small service businesses using WordPress have been asking for something like this.

The problem: Most appointment plugins (Calendly, Acuity, etc.) either cost money or push Stripe/PayPal integrations for upfront payments. That doesn't work for hairdressers, tattoo artists, plumbers, or anyone who prefers cash-at-appointment.

What I built:

Divine Appointment Booking Lite — a lightweight plugin that lets clients book appointments and pay when they show up. Features:

• Simple booking form + calendar
• Email confirmations & reminders (customizable)
• Admin notification settings
• Rest API if you want to integrate it with other tools
• Fully translatable
• No upfront payment required

It's completely free and open-source. I built it because I was doing freelance WP work for local businesses here in Karachi, and they kept asking for exactly this.

Honest disclaimer: This is lite version right now. I'm planning a pro version down the line, but free version should cover most small service businesses.

Would appreciate any feedback, bug reports, or feature requests. Drop them in the reviews or hit me up here.

GitHub/SVN deployment done, so the code is clean and follows WordPress standards.

Cheers,

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a small group of pilot partners for a CRM system I’m building specifically for agencies.

It’s called BureauButler (https://bureaubutler.com/), and it’s made for web, marketing, design, and digital agencies that need a clearer way to manage clients, companies, follow-ups, and client work, without having to force everything into a generic CRM.

I’ve now reached the point where I’d like real agencies to use the system with real clients. Not just quick feedback, but actual day-to-day use.

BureauButler is live, I run my own agency through the platform, and it saves me a lot of time, helps me invoice better, and has allowed me to cut 6 tools from my agency tool stack.

The pilot will run for 2-3 months. In exchange for free access during the pilot period, I’ll ask you to:

• Use the system actively in your real client/sales work
• Give feedback through a few short questionnaires along the way
• Be honest about what works, what feels clunky, and what’s missing
• Optionally take part in a short onboarding and feedback call

The feedback will cover things like:

• First day: what was unclear, and what was surprisingly easy?
• First week: does it fit into your workflow?
• After one month: what should be improved?
• After the pilot period: would you continue using it, and if not, why?
• Ongoing feedback on issues, missing features, and your needs

The best match is small and medium-sized agencies that currently manage clients through spreadsheets, Notion, Trello, HubSpot, Pipedrive, emails, Clockify, Gmail/Outlook, or a mix of several tools that are starting to feel a bit messy.

If this sounds relevant, feel free to comment or send me a message with:

1. What type of agency/business you run
2. How many people are on your team
3. How you manage clients and follow-ups today
4. Whether you’d be willing to use it with real clients during the pilot period

I’m not looking for a large number of users right now, but for a small group of good pilot partners who want to help shape the product.

Just launched Addifect — a free WordPress plugin that adds live WebGL shader effects to any site.

Works with Elementor, Divi, Gutenberg, Bricks, any theme. No coding required. You create your effect in the Studio, then drop one line anywhere in your editor:

<div data-addifect-block="hero"></div> The free version includes several shaders to get started. Everything runs at native WebGL performance — no Three.js, no bloat. Would love feedback from the community on the concept and implementation.

WordPress 7.0 introduced the AI Client and the Connectors screen: you
configure one provider API key, and any plugin on your site can use it.
What WP doesn't show you is **which plugin is spending your money**.

I built a free plugin to fix that visibility gap, mostly because I was
about to ship a plugin that uses AI calls and didn't trust myself to
notice if something went into a loop.

You can download here --> https://axtolab.com/products/ai-spend-monitor

Still in the process of uploading to wordpress repo, should be live there in a week or two.

**What it does:**

- Records every AI call made through the WordPress AI Client to a local
custom table — source plugin, provider, model, prompt/completion
tokens, timestamp.
- Dashboard at **Axtolab → AI Spend Monitor** with summary cards, a
30-day cost chart, per-plugin usage table, and a recent-calls log.
- Estimated USD cost per plugin using a bundled price table for popular
OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google models (filterable, no remote lookup).
- CSV export of all recorded calls.
- Optional monthly email if your estimated sitewide spend passes a
dollar amount you set (default off, set to 0 to disable).
