If you run a LearnDash site with essay quizzes, you know the grind: open wp-admin, find the submission, check the rubric, write feedback, save, repeat. The AI assistant you're already using could do 80% of that in seconds — it just can't see your data.

I built a free WordPress plugin called AI Conduit that gives your AI assistant read-only access to your site data via MCP (the protocol Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor use to connect to external data sources). No exports, no copy-pasting, no dev work.

For essay grading specifically: you ask your AI "show me ungraded submissions for Final Exam," it pulls every pending essay with the original question + rubric + student name, then drafts scores and feedback for each.

The AI never writes to your site. It drafts. You review and enter the final grade manually — that part felt important to keep human.

Plugin is free on WordPress.org. I also made a pre-built Essay Grading Queue tool you can import in one click so you don't have to set anything up from scratch.

Happy to answer questions about how MCP works or how the tool handles role-based access.

I want to add a custom font family to my Wordpress site. I've downloaded the Custom Fonts plug-in and uploaded the relevant .woff2 files. The font family and its variants are visible in the Custom Fonts panel. But when I click Appearance > Customize and head to Typography, the new font isn't available from the drop-down list.

I've tried clearing my cache and deactivating any potentially conflicting plug-ins but to no avail. Any insight is appreciated!

I am very new in this domain. can anyone suggest which commission setup works best for marketplaces now?

Hey everyone,

I genuinely need your help.

I launched my first WooCommerce plugin about a week ago and I'm running into the classic chicken-and-egg problem.

To rank on WordPress.org you need installs and reviews. But to get installs and reviews you need to rank on WordPress.org.

I've been trying to get genuine feedback from real store owners but it's harder than I expected. I'm happy to give free Pro access to anyone willing to genuinely try it and share their honest experience — good or bad — but I'm not sure where the right place to even make that offer is without it coming across as spammy.

For those of you who have launched plugins before:

— How did you get your first 10-20 installs? — Where did you find people willing to genuinely test and review? — Is offering free Pro access in exchange for honest feedback considered okay or does that cross a line?

Any advice from people who've been through this would be genuinely appreciated. Happy to share more about the plugin if anyone's curious.

I built a WordPress plugin that offloads your media and gives you a CDN in less than 2 minutes.

No S3 account, no IAM, no access keys, no cloud storage configuration. Just install and go.

I wanted to build something that is easy to use and, most importantly, never locks you in. You can stop using it at any time and get all your media back.

Here is what it does:

- Automatically offload new media
- Bulk offload existing media
- Delete derivatives but keep the original (compatible with other plugins and media regenerate)
- Delete original media for maximum storage savings
- Replace all media URLs in your content with a CDN URL automatically
- Use a custom domain like cdn.yoursite.com
- ZIP all your offloaded media to restore or migrate to another host
- Push all your media back to WordPress in one click
- CDN traffic included in all plans

The plugin is live, fully working end-to-end, and approved on wp.org.

There is a SaaS app related to the plugin to handle all the complex setup for you.

If you want to check it out or try it, drop a comment and I will share the link.

Hi everyone,

I currently run a site which uses the Newsmatic theme, and unfortunately their support is... not getting back to me, so I'm reaching out to you fine people to see if anyone has a potential solution!

I'm looking to add the WooCommerce plugin to my site, to allow people to review products that are listed. However on the individual product pages (despite the options to allow reviews being enabled in general settings and per-product) the review tab is not showing.

Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how can I resolve?

Ideally, I don't want to change the theme, and WooCommerce has told me this is definitely a theme issue.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I built a Shopify-style checkout for WooCommerce because Shopify is too expensive — offering 1 month full Pro free for honest feedback

I was running my own jewelry store on WooCommerce and watched customers drop off at checkout every single day. The traffic was there. The ads were working. But the default WooCommerce checkout was killing my conversions.

Shopify’s checkout is clean, fast, and built to close sales. But switching to Shopify makes zero financial sense. The whole reason I was on WooCommerce was because it’s free — and Shopify isn’t.

Between the monthly platform fee, transaction fees, and paid apps you need just to get basic functionality, you’re spending hundreds of dollars a month before you’ve made a single sale. What I needed wasn’t a different platform.

I needed a Shopify-style checkout that runs on WooCommerce. That didn’t exist. So I built it. That’s Checkimate.

Here’s everything you get completely free:

• Full checkout UI replacement — clean, modern, mobile-first, conversion-focused

• Multi-step checkout mode exactly like Shopify — Contact, Shipping, Payment

• Express checkout — Google Pay and Apple Pay built in

• One-click order bumps at checkout

• Trust badges and security signals

• Built-in coupon field with instant validation

• Silent abandoned cart capture — saves customer data the moment they start typing

• Automated abandoned cart recovery emails — up to 3 follow-up emails sent directly to your customers

• Personalized discount codes generated automatically per customer

• Full email template customization with your logo, brand colors, and messaging

• Milestone notifications so you always know what’s happening in your store

• Revenue recovery analytics • Customer contacts and email log

Why WooCommerce store owners are losing sales right now

The average cart abandonment rate is nearly 70%. On the default WooCommerce checkout it’s frequently worse — and most store owners have zero visibility into it. Every person who adds to cart and leaves is money you already earned through ads, SEO, or word of mouth — just gone. Checkimate captures those customers silently, follows up automatically with branded recovery emails, and wins back revenue you would have never seen otherwise.

The offer

I’m expanding Checkimate’s user base and looking for serious store owners willing to share honest feedback. In exchange I’m offering 1 month of full Pro access completely free to store owners who:

1. ⁠Install Checkimate on a live WooCommerce store — search Checkimate on WordPress.org or visit checkimate.com

Or

Download it free here: wordpress.org/plugins/checkimate

2. ⁠Run it for at least 2 weeks on a real store

3. ⁠Leave an honest review on WordPress.org — good or bad

4. ⁠DM me directly with feedback on what worked, what didn’t, and what you wish it did That’s it. No catch. Keep the 1 month Pro regardless of your review. DM me with your store URL to claim your spot. Limited availability.Checkimatecheckimate

Hey gang - I am looking for two specific plugins for two different websites. I have no problem paying for a plugin if it does exactly what I need and is faster to implement than adjusting a free one.

1. I need a plugin to list manufactured homes for sale. We may or may not list prices at some point, but for sure no actual purchasing on the site. There are hundreds of homes, and I need to be able to filter by numbers of beds/baths/features/etc. I have been researching, and of course WooCommerce is an option. I am familiar with it, and know it can be tailored to not show prices and add to cart buttons, etc; but I would love to know if anyone else has any other recommendations.
2. I need a plugin to pull hundreds of locations from a database via API, create them as a location in the website, and those be able to be displayed on a map, and be searchable by state, zip code, name. The API call will need to be checked several times a day for updates from the database, and the website data change according to database changes.

Thanks, I appreciate it 😄

Hi folks, we just managed to release Frontman for Wordpress.

What is Frontman?
Its something i've been working on for the past half year or so, its a new kind of approach to agents, deeply integrated into frameworks instead of generic once like claude-code etc.
Think of it like Base44/Lovable but for your existing sites/apps.

What is Frontman for wordpress?
Basically, you can now just point at something in your wordpress site, ask the agent to do something, and it'll happen! you can select specific elements, you can go to specific pages. no need to guess and spend hours on dashboard searches.

What frontman looks like

It's fully open source, including the agentic harness and all the tools - you're always able to self-host for free.

And it's currently free while in beta, so please check us out.
Please give me any feedback. its a passion project of mine and i'm so excited that it's out.

I’ve been managing a client’s nonprofit WordPress site with GiveWP for quite some time, but the recent transition to Liquid Web has raised a few concerns on our side.

A few resources/support-related things seem harder to access now, so the client asked me to start looking for some alternatives to GiveWP, just in case we decide to migrate later.

Not looking for any best-plugin debate, just wanted to hear from people who’ve actually switched from GiveWP or tested other donation plugins recently.

Main requirements:

• Recurring donation support with Stripe, Authorize.net, and Xendit
• Smooth migration if possible

I'm pleased to announce my WordPress Plugin has been approved and is now live in the WordPress Directory!

Humanify Content Grader is a FREE WordPress plugin that scores your content on how robotic or AI-generated it sounds, before you hit publish. It's tough and will push you to be more creative and to avoid relying on weak generative content. Honestly, I would be surprised if anyone could get a perfect score. But that's kind of the point. We want better quality content now more than ever.

Humanify analyzes your post and gives it a score from 0 to 100. The lower is better. A low score means your writing reads as if a person wrote it. A high score means you've got work to do.

The scoring isn't based on some black-box algorithm that sends your content to an external server. It runs entirely in the browser, locally, with no API calls and no data collection. What you write stays with you. As you write or edit your content, the score will improve. That's pretty cool!

Hello!

A while ago I rolled out a free CDN service for WordPress (Shift8 CDN). I just retired that and migrated the endpoints to be positioned as a free WAF-as-a-service called "Atomic Edge".

Atomic Edge puts protection in front of your site with an edge Web Application Firewall, traffic filtering, AI-assisted threat detection, logging, analytics, page rules, geographic rules, rate limiting, and CDN features.

The Atomic Edge WordPress plugin linked here is the companion plugin that makes setup and management easier from inside wp-admin. It can connect your WordPress site to your Atomic Edge account, show security and traffic data, help manage settings, and provide useful tools like malware scanning and integration with Atomic Edge features.

The plugin is helpful, but it is not strictly required for the core protection to work. You can technically use the dashboard directly without the plugin at all.

One of the main pain points (I've had) with services like cloudflare (unless you are an enterprise customer) is having to hand over the entire DNS (nameserver) management to their service. For Atomic Edge, you just change the "A" of your apex to go through the endpoint, and thats it.

Happy to hear thoughts and feedback.
