A weekly podcast covering updates from the WordPress ecosystem that are relevant and helpful for WordPress agencies, developers, and enthusiasts
This week on The WP Week Podcast, we cover a major WordPress supply chain security scare, where Wordfence’s AI-powered PRISM detected a backdoored plugin update within just two hours, preventing thousands of websites from being compromised thanks to the Protect the Shire cooldown period. We also discuss the WPManageNinja security incident, where tampered updates briefly reached customer sites after an old update server was compromised.
We also explore the latest WordPress 7.1 developments, WooCommerce 11.0’s delayed release, WP Engine’s new Commerce Connect for BigCommerce, and the growing role of AI in WordPress development, security, and site management. Plus, we highlight new plugins, product launches, and the biggest stories from across the WordPress community.
