In episode 670 of 'WordPress Plugins from A to Z', host Jono Rolland dives deep into two standout plugins: WP Pro A2Z CPT Selector for Elementor and Static Deliver, a free CDN for image optimization and site speed. The CPT Selector plugin streamlines the display of custom post types and their categories via Elementor widgets, offering a lightweight, user-friendly solution for developers and designers. Static Deliver enhances performance by offloading assets and optimizing images through a privacy-focused CDN, though concerns remain about image security and data control on public networks. The episode also covers critical WordPress news, including a major vulnerability report with 216 flaws, a patch for WooCommerce subscription bugs, and the upcoming WordPress 7.0 release with real-time collaboration features. Jono emphasizes proactive security practices like maintaining backups and using security.txt files to invite responsible vulnerability reporting. The show concludes with practical advice for remote workers, stressing the importance of physical activity and work-life boundaries to avoid burnout. A heartfelt Q&A with Jono’s father offers wisdom on transitioning from physical labor to tech work and managing home office discipline.
Use the WP Pro A2Z CPT Selector for Elementor to easily display custom post types and categories across your site with customizable widgets.
Static Deliver offers free, automated CDN and image optimization but requires caution with image offloading due to potential privacy and security risks.
Always maintain backups of plugins and use a security.txt file to invite responsible security researchers and prevent public exposure of vulnerabilities.
Prepare for WordPress 7.0 by upgrading to PHP 7.2+, testing real-time collaboration features, and ensuring plugin compatibility.
Remote workers should enforce strict work-life boundaries—use a dog, cat, or gym to force movement and avoid burnout from endless screen time.
