Did you know that WordPress theme.json, block.json and other *.json files have their reference schema files which allow your code editor to autocomplete and lint the syntax? Simply add a $schema element to the top of the JSON content and let the editor do the job.

If you use ubuntu-latest in your GitHub workflow to push your plugin to the WordPress.org repo when you make a new release, you’ll soon need to install subversion when ubuntu-latest points to ubuntu-24.04 as that has had SVN removed.
See github.com/10up/action-... for how to update your workflows.

I'm almost done adding Bluesky to wordpress.org/plugins/wp-t.... This was my first plugin, written in 2008, at a time when Twitter was just becoming the great social space it once was. This last few days have been the first time I've felt excited working on it in far too long! #WordPress
