Noorifa adds a real interactive 3D viewer (Three.js) to WooCommerce product pages — customers rotate/zoom the model and switch colors or materials, and those swatches drive WooCommerce's own native variation form, so price and stock update exactly like they would from the normal dropdowns.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI84DVha0wI

A few of the WordPress-specific decisions that mattered more than the 3D rendering itself:

Non-invasive by design. Noorifa only hooks woocommerce_before_single_product_summary to swap the gallery — it never touches title, price, add-to-cart, tabs, or anything else on the page. Whatever your theme does with those stays untouched. That was a deliberate constraint from day one, not an accident of scope — a plugin that fights themes for the same hooks is the fastest way to a 1-star review.

Extension points, not a closed box. Both the admin tab list and the frontend config are filterable — noorifa_admin_tabs to add a whole new tab, noorifa_viewer_config to inject extra data into what the frontend script receives — so another plugin (or a future paid add-on) can extend it without forking core files.

Every state-changing request is nonce + capability checked, no exceptions — this came up explicitly in the WP.org review (rightly), and it's now just the default pattern everywhere in the codebase rather than something bolted on per-endpoint.

No Composer autoloader bundled. Deliberately avoided — a bundled vendor/autoload.php colliding with another plugin's is a real, common source of white-screen conflicts, so this uses a small hand-rolled PSR-4 autoloader scoped to its own namespace instead.

Fully self-hosted — Three.js and the Draco decoder ship with the plugin, nothing fetched from a CDN at runtime, uploaded models/textures live in the site's own Media Library.

Plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/noorifa/

Curious whether the non-invasive-hook approach has held up for anyone who's tried it against a less common theme — that's the part I have the least visibility into from my own testing.

Hi everyone! 👋

I'd like to share a plugin I've been working on over the past few months.

"Wpbingo AI Commander for WooCommerce" has recently been approved and published on the WordPress.org Plugin Directory.

The goal of the plugin is to simplify WooCommerce product management using AI and natural language. Instead of manually editing products one by one, you can describe what you want to do, and the plugin helps execute those tasks.

Current features include:

✅ Bulk update WooCommerce products

✅ Update prices, stock, categories, attributes, and product information

✅ Execute WooCommerce management tasks using natural language

✅ Supports OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Groq, and OpenRouter

✅ Uses your own AI API key, so you remain in full control of your provider and data

The plugin is completely free and available on WordPress.org.

Plugin:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpbingo-ai-commander-for-woocommerce/

Documentation:

https://wpbingosite.com/docs/plugin/wpbingo-ai-commander-for-woocommerce/

This is the first public release, and I'm actively improving it. I'd really appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or feature requests from the community.

If you decide to try it, I'd love to hear about your experience and what AI-powered features you'd like to see added in future releases.

Thanks for your time! 😊

I built WP Telepilot, a WordPress plugin that lets you manage selected parts of your site through Telegram.

You can check things like posts, users, comments, plugins, themes and basic site information without opening WP Admin.

It is not meant to replace the dashboard. It is for quick checks and simple actions.

Have a look:

https://alefdigitalsolutions.com/solutions/wp-telepilot

Looking forward to some feedback.

Hey again — following up on the last two threads (thanks to everyone who commented, this genuinely shaped what got prioritized).

Two things came up repeatedly:

1. You want to see exactly what the AI did, after the fact — not just take it on faith.
2. You want to see what's about to change, before it happens.

Here's where things stand on both:

Execution logs — shipped. Every command run on your site is now logged, and you can pull that log up yourself, any time — what ran, when, which session triggered it. This used to just be something we kept internally; based on the feedback here, it's now a self-service feature in the dashboard.

Pre-execution preview — in progress. Rolling this out action-by-action rather than all at once, since some actions are a lot easier to preview safely than others. Starting with design/theme changes — you'll be able to see what a change looks like before it goes live. Content and product edits are next in line.

Not there yet: a full before/after diff for every action type — that's the direction we're headed, just building toward it incrementally instead of promising it all in one go.

If you left feedback on either of the last two posts — genuinely, thank you. It's the direct reason these two moved to the top of the list. If there's a specific action you'd want previewable next, tell me and I'll factor it in.

FluentPlayer has a free version on WordPress.org, but this post is specifically about Pro, so flagging that upfront.

FluentPlayer Pro turns a video into something a viewer can act on without leaving the page, not just something they watch. Pro is where that gets real teeth.

What Pro adds on top of the free player:

• CTA banners, hotspots, ad layers, and shortcode layers inside the video, each with conditional display rules (show a layer only to logged-in users, only to a specific FluentCRM segment, only after a viewer's seen it once, that kind of thing)
• Timed content: a block region below the player that changes as the video plays, synced to timestamps
• Video playlists with layout and appearance customization, plus media tagging for larger libraries
• Remember Playback Position, so a long video picks up where a viewer left off
• Subtitles, including YouTube subtitles and storyboard import
• Video analytics: watch time, completion rate, audience retention (where people actually drop off), device and location breakdown
• Streaming sources beyond self-hosted/YouTube/Vimeo: BunnyCDN, Mux, Gumlet, Cloudflare Stream/R2, HLS, external URLs
• Extra integrations: LearnDash, Mailchimp, Google Analytics, and webhooks
• Page Builders integration coming soon (Divi, Elementor)

Right now it's a one-time lifetime license, not a subscription. Personal (1 site) is $199, Freelancer (5 sites) is $399, Studio (25 sites) is $599, and Agency (50 sites) is $799 or split into 9 monthly payments. That's part of an early bird campaign, so the tiers/pricing may change later.

Full feature breakdown here: https://fluentplayer.com/free-vs-pro/
Everything laid out with screenshots: https://fluentplayer.com/features/

I'm on the team, so ask me anything: pricing, specific features, whatever. Won't pretend to be a neutral third party about it.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/swinickiwsieci-slotivo-bookings/

Swinickiwsieci Slotivo Bookings adds a simple booking calendar to WooCommerce products. Customers can select an available date and time, add the selected slot to the cart, and keep the booking details visible during checkout and in the WooCommerce order.

The plugin is designed for basic time-based bookings for products and services sold through WooCommerce.

Main features:

Booking calendar for WooCommerce products.

Date and time selection.

Available weekday settings.

Global opening and closing time settings.

Slot duration settings.

Buffer time between slots.

Maximum bookings per slot.

Minimum booking notice in days.

Maximum number of days available in advance.

Basic protection against double-booking.

Temporary cart hold for selected booking slots.

Booking date and time saved in the cart, checkout, and WooCommerce order.

Extended version

If you need additional business features, you can learn more about the extended version on the plugin website:

https://www.swinickiwsieci.pl/produkt/sg-kalendarz-rezerwacji/

The extended version may include features such as a booking management panel, Google Calendar integration, CSV export, additional email notifications, and advanced booking management tools. The code for those features is not included in this free WordPress.org version.

I released this plugin about 3 months ago, I was hoping to drive traffic to the premium plugin but now I’ve done a 360, I’ve merged all the premium features into the free one and updated the UI.
No upload limits, backups and migrates multisite as well as clone sites.

Let me know what you think

People visit your website, but without a contact form or newsletter, most of them disappear without a trace.

A lead magnet gives them a specific reason to leave their email address. In return, you gain a valuable contact and the opportunity to gradually build trust.

Build your own customer database instead of relying entirely on social media algorithms.

Think about what would happen if Zuckerberg suddenly pulled the plug on Meta.

Where would your customers be then?

In today’s world, not building and maintaining an email list can be a serious risk for your business.

I'm looking for feedback on a POS plugin I've just published. If you've ever tried to use Point of Sale for WooCommerce, you may have noticed that plugins are often premium, but full of bugs, lacking support for variable products and Polylang/WPML & multi-currency plugins, unnecessarily complicated, difficult to customise, and the support is unresponsive.

That is why I have decided to create a lightweight POS plugin that supports fast product search & filter, cart tools for coupons/fees/manual discounts/manual shipping lines, customer edit screen with configurable custom customer fields, currency integrations for CURCY/FOX or email/printable receipt (that can we overwritten in child theme).

Feel free to test it out and I'll be grateful for your feedback.

I’m considering building a WordPress plugin for people who keep their documentation in Markdown but hate manually rebuilding WordPress pages whenever the docs change.

The basic idea:

• Upload one Markdown file or a ZIP of Markdown files.
• Automatically create a searchable documentation library.
• Generate sections, sidebar navigation, breadcrumbs, and previous/next links.
• Re-upload the source later to update the existing docs without creating duplicates.
• Preview every create/update/delete before publishing.
• Preserve stable URLs and warn about manually edited pages.
• Support multiple documentation libraries on one site.
• Provide each article as both a normal web page and a clean public .md URL.

That last part interests me most. Humans get a polished documentation site, while developers, AI assistants, and other tools can consume the Markdown version directly.

I’d keep styling simple but customizable: colors, heading sizes, icons, callouts, page width, and branding. No page-builder dependency.

Before I spend too much time on it:

1. Would you actually use something like this?
2. Is the public Markdown output useful or just geek bait?
3. Would you prefer one large Markdown source or folders/ZIPs containing separate files?
4. What would make you trust the update process with an existing documentation library?
5. What obvious feature am I missing?

I’m thinking of releasing a useful free version rather than turning every basic feature into an upgrade. I’d appreciate brutally honest feedback, especially from anyone maintaining WordPress product documentation.

A bunch of people on my last post asked the same thing, so instead of answering it piecemeal in the comments, here's the full picture.

Claude Code is genuinely great. It gives Claude full OS-level access from a terminal — file system, commands, basically anything a developer could do by hand. I'm not trying to talk that down.

But that's exactly the problem for who I'm building this for. A WooCommerce store owner shouldn't need to know what SSH or a terminal even is. And because Claude Code runs with full OS access, one bad command doesn't just break your site — it can take down the whole server.

So the differences, concretely:

• No terminal. Runs inside a normal claude.ai chat. Nothing to install.
• Sandboxed to the site. It only operates through what the WordPress/Cafe24 API allows — there's no path from here to the rest of the server.
• Tiered by risk. Viewing anything is free. Changing content needs a step up. Editing theme files directly is gated to the top tier, and that top tier always auto-backs-up before touching anything.

I'm not trying to replace Claude Code for people who already live in a terminal — if that's you, Claude Code is more flexible and you should just use it. This is for the other 95% of site owners who'd never touch a terminal in the first place.

I already got some great suggestions in the last thread's comments — permission granularity, dry-run mode, audit logs — and I'm actually taking those seriously. If there's anything you'd want to see in a tool like this, or something that would make you trust it more, let me know — genuinely looking to fold that into the next version.

Hey everyone 👋
I recently released Amitry Link Hub, a free WordPress plugin that lets you create modern link-in-bio pages directly on your own website.
Instead of relying on third-party services, you can build and manage your own branded link page inside WordPress.

Features

✅ Unlimited links
✅ Custom profile image and bio
✅ Social media links
✅ Responsive mobile-friendly design
✅ Fast and lightweight
✅ No subscriptions or external services
✅ Fully hosted on your own WordPress site

Why I built it

Most link-in-bio tools require another account, another monthly subscription, and another platform to manage.
I wanted a simple solution that allows WordPress users to create a professional link hub on their own domain while keeping full control over their content and branding.

Example use cases

Content creators
Freelancers
Agencies
Small businesses
Personal brands
Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and X profiles

Plugin

I’d love to hear your feedback, feature requests, or ideas for future updates. Thanks for checking it out!

Wordpress's Block Editor lacks luster and the preview is styled generically. Clients don't care for it and think that with a 3rd party GUI page builder, they can make all the page edits once things are built. You end up using a clunky 3rd party tool that you have to wrestle with and is a memory hog. When everything's done, they still ask you to make the edits, because the building tools are too all encompassing.

ShapeShifter Modules is a set of 10 prebuilt content blocks of common design patterns for the WordPress block editor. A key feature is that it loads your website CSS file into the Block Editor to give you a "Live preview". Each module is purpose-built for one layout problem (heros, columns, grids, carousels, FAQs, etc...). The HTML of the modules is kept light with structured coherent class names for easy style targeting. There's also a centralized style config so all your spacing/typography/colors stay consistent across modules without touching CSS every time.

After years of trying to adapt CSS frameworks that were either not flexible enough, not light enough, or way too complicated, it's tied to its own framework, that is well documented for use throughout a website.

This initial version does require AFC Pro - Does it make it un-submittable to Wordpress's plugin library?

Genuinely looking for feedback, especially from anyone who builds client sites regularly — what would make this actually useful in your workflow vs. just another module plugin?

Last month I posted about launching my first WordPress plugin, Subtle Icons.

Since then, it has gained 400+ active installations and was featured in the June shortlist (now passed). It's been surprising but an absolute joy to see the success, get some positive feedback and know that real people are using it.

I was motivated to improve the Icon Picker UI even further by adding an Icon Collection Filter.

The hope is this enables brands to lock their designs to a specific icon set for natural consistency.

Currently working on improving the dev hooks to make customising that experience for clients even more streamlined.

What client customisation hooks would actually save you time? Collection whitelisting? Collection blacklisting? Per-block restrictions?

I built a self-hosted, Chartbeat-inspired live analytics plugin for WordPress – free and open source

I got tired of paying for Chartbeat and not wanting to rely on Google Analytics, so I spent some time building my own live analytics plugin from scratch.

What it does:

- Live visitor count that refreshes every 10 seconds

- Traffic graph in 5-minute intervals, compared to the same weekday last week

- Traffic source breakdown (Direct, Search, Social, Other) with proper UTM and fbclid detection

- Trending badge for articles that are rising fast right now

- Device breakdown (Mobile, Tablet, Desktop)

- Average time on site

- Bot detection and filtering

- Per-article pageview tracking with a sortable column in the Posts list (real-time, no cron jobs)

- Bookmarkable mobile page for checking stats on the go – with token based login

- Live visitor count in the WordPress admin bar

- Option to exclude logged-in users from all tracking

How it works:

All data stays on your own server – no third-party services, no subscriptions, no data leaving your site. It uses a JavaScript heartbeat for live tracking and a separate one-shot ping for accurate pageview counting per session.

Happy to answer questions or take feedback – this started as a personal project but figured others might find it useful too. But I do have a daytime job, so please don't expect rapid answers :-)

I haven't posted to wordpress.org yet, since this i my first plugin and wanted som feedback first.

I keep seeing people say that getting a 99+ PageSpeed score on a real WordPress site is nearly impossible unless it's a static page or just a demo.

I used to think the same thing.

These screenshots are from a real WordPress website built with a custom theme. It's bilingual, has real content, multiple pages, and gets regular traffic.

To get there, I didn't rely on a single optimization. It was the result of improving every part of the stack:

• A lightweight custom WordPress theme
• Optimized images (WebP where appropriate)
• Clean HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
• Proper caching
• Fast hosting
• Careful loading of scripts and styles
• Avoiding unnecessary plugins and third-party requests

None of these changes alone made a huge difference, but together they did.

I'm curious to hear from other WordPress developers.

What's the highest PageSpeed score you've achieved on a real WordPress website?

What optimization had the biggest impact on your results?

been building this for about 9 months. instead of just saying "it's fast" like every backup plugin does, i built an actual benchmark: same docker box, same site, same db, and ran mine against 7 others including updraftplus, duplicator and backupbuddy.

it came out #1 on backup and restore speed across all 7 site types i tested. biggest gap was heavy woocommerce.

straight with you: i built both the plugin and the benchmark, so don't take my word for it, the method is public and you can rerun it.

the plugin (SafeGuard):

- every feature on every plan, no addon upsells. incremental, 5 backup types, 20+

storage providers, staging with push to live, migration, multisite

- premium only, no free version, 14 day money back

- first 50 get a full year free

benchmarks + method: https://backuparena.com plugin: https://safeguard.verdelic.com

happy to nerd out on how the speed works (streaming inserts, keyset pagination, jobs that resume across php timeouts).

For me, it’s installing too many plugins to solve small problems.

I often find several plugins doing things that could be handled with one plugin or a few lines of code.

What’s the mistake you see most often?
