Not everyone needs the same font size in the WordPress admin area. By default, almost all the text in WordPress is shown with a 13 pixel font. However, that font size may be too small for some users.

Reusable Blocks / Synced Patterns are one of my favorite features in the WordPress block editor. They allow you to easily re-use content in multiple places across your site. However, WordPress does place access control limits on Reusable Blocks (that’s what I’ll call them in this post, although Synced Patterns is more commonly used). We…
A PublishPress user wrote to us with question: I have just installed your PublishPress Capabilities plugin, which is working almost perfectly.

There’s also a “WordPress Events and News” widget with official updates. There’s an “At a Glance” widget so you can quickly…
