A two-minute WordPress Sunday job
Here’s a small job to squeeze in before Sunday ends. PHP is the programming language that powers WordPress. Like WordPress itself, it needs security updates. On 21 October, critical security fixes arrived for PHP 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5. The patched versions are 8.2.35, 8.3.36,…

Last year, as an experiment, I built my personal site, jamiemarsland.com, using Lovable. It was quick to build, looked good and was technically a WordPress site. Sort of. Lovable built the front end as a React app. The content came from WordPress over the REST API: my photo…
