It's official, today is my last day at @wpengine. Such an amazing experience. I couldn't have asked for a better team, and I'm so proud of our work in DevRel. For now, I plan to take some time off, tinker on a few blocks, and work on #WordPress 6.2. Excited for the future! 💪

I am pleased to announce the release of @BlockVisibility 3.0.0. This is the largest update since launching the plugin in 2020. TL;DR: The Pro add-on is being merged into the main plugin and all functionality will be available for free moving forward. 🥳

Everyone asks me if @theiconblock can add icons to the core Button block in #WordPress. Unfortunately, the answer is no. But while traveling last week, I built a little demo plugin that does just that. It works quite well, and no need for a custom block 😉
