A client’s food blog kept crawling despite great recipes. The fix wasn’t another plugin, it was rebuilding on custom post types and a cleaner WordPress setup.
A client wanted AI to handle product updates and support replies. The WooCommerce MCP beta gives you a secure, standard way to do that, so you skip the fragile custom integrations.
A client’s flagship plugin had outgrown its loose structure. PHP namespaces, Composer autoloading, and enforced coding standards are what pulled it back into shape.
A client needed accordions and styled form fields without the usual custom-code mess. September’s WordPress core updates add a native Accordion block and theme.json form styling that make it far easier.
