In this Core Monthly, I will focus on a few important topics that are being worked on inside the project, the new product page, initiatives, new releases, and some great contributions from the community.

Dear developers,

Here it is! The first edition of the Core Monthly. I know through community feedback about the impact weekly summaries recently had, this is why it was decided to summarize the entire month in one article to make them more useful. This way, more time can be invested in providing you with relevant news about the project.

Here’s what happened in November:

Office hours

Let’s start with something very exciting: regular meetings with the community have started. They are different from our monthly Public Demos. The Office Hours initiative is about project members making themselves available to you, to the community, (almost) every Tuesday at 11 AM CET, to discuss everything related to the project.

These meetings have already proven it was a great idea. There have been constructive discussions about many ongoing projects, Pull Requests, architectural decisions, etc. This is also a chance to answer some community questions and help them finish their contributions.

Looking forward to meeting you at our next meetings.

Public Demo

The eighth demo of the year was held - this time with two presentations from project members. If you haven’t watched it already, make sure to read the summary.

Committers

In November, three new committers were welcomed. An important development is that it was decided to make committers act as code owners. What does it mean? Until then, the rules were as follows: a Pull Request to the Core had to be approved by at least one maintainer. Now, two committers can approve it without requiring a maintainer to step in. This seemingly small step is significant for the entire project, as it should help Pull Requests get approved more quickly.

If you are an active member of the project and want to join as a committer, you can read how to do this on the article on the project’s website.

Focus on code changes

With PrestaShop 8.0 released a month ago, the feature freeze for PrestaShop 8.1 is only two months away. There are a few major subjects for this version that project members are working on.

Product page

The first subject is a new product page. The team responsible for this project is working hard to make all the needed changes in the code.

Ongoing work on the unification of some commands and some refactoring, crucial for the page to be more efficient: so developers can use reliably created commands. In almost every Pull Request related to the new product page, you may notice several new or modified automated tests. This should help the team deliver a product page more stable than ever.

You can also find some Pull Requests about improving or adding multi store compatibility to the new product page.

New features coming to PrestaShop 8.1

In November, the community created a few outstanding Pull Requests (which are now merged) with features that are going to be available in the next minor version. Starting with three (!) changes from Daniel (@Hlavtox). He added a new setting to decide if the order should switch to backorder state. The second is the highly requested possibility of adding availability labels to each combination. In PrestaShop 8.1, this will be possible thanks to Daniel and his changes. Last but not least, more options for discontinued products should help merchants better manage such articles in PrestaShop.

If you’ve already seen the Public Demo in November, you know there’s ongoing work related to the API in PrestaShop. You can check one of @atomiix’s Pull Requests to see more details, and read the Epic that summarizes all the work planned around this API.

There will also be a new option to disable the “Shop Name” prefix from outgoing emails, thanks to the change from @rmilecki.

PrestaShop 1.7.8.8

The next patch version for PrestaShop 1.7 is at the very last step of the release process, and you can expect to see it live anytime now.

It is important to know that PrestaShop 1.7 has entered Extended Support mode since the release of PrestaShop 8.0. This means that no further development will be done on 1.7, except for security of critical fixes. The extended support for PrestaShop 1.7 will continue until PrestaShop 9.0 is released, estimated by the end of 2023.

For a holiday gift that’s absolutely brimming with possibility, look no further than our brand new feature which allows any reader to gift a WordPress.com subscription renewal to their favorite website.  

As a website owner, this is a way to allow your most ardent fans to show their gratitude for all the hard work you’ve put into your passion project over the years. 

As a reader, this is a way to show a bit of thanks to your favorite creators — be they bloggers, artists, small business owners, or even your pesky-but-loveable little brother who’s finally trying to give his site some attention. 

This feature will be displayed as a black banner across the top of the site, from which readers will be able to click “Gift” and then be taken right to a checkout page. 

Easy as that!

As of today, we’ve rolled out this feature to a small number of sites, but that number will be growing every day as we continue to test and iterate. For now, gifting is available on sites that are within 54 days of their annual subscription expiration date or within 5 days of their monthly expiration date. Soon, however, it will be available much more widely.

How to activate the gifting banner   

You can activate this new feature in about 15 seconds: 

1. From your admin dashboard, navigate to General Settings (Settings → General)
2. Scroll down, just a bit, to the “Accept a gift subscription” section 
3. Click the toggle to accept gifts 
4. Click “Save settings”   

After you’ve activated the banner, be sure to spread the word by writing a post about how your readers can help you out in a brand new way!  

A few more important details

Gifting applies to whichever plan the website is currently on. For example: a subscription gift for a site on a 1-year plan will be for the entire amount of a 1-year plan renewal; a gift to a site on a monthly plan will be in the amount of 1 month on their current plan tier. (Note that gifts are made in the site owner’s currency.) 

Once a gift is paid for, both the website owner and the person who gave the gift will receive an email confirmation. 

You can find even more nuts and bolts here. 

In September 2022, we released SSH for Business and eCommerce sites. SSH (secure shell protocol) allows you to access your site from the command line and use tools such as WP-CLI to manage your site, plugins, users, and more.

Our users loved the feature — but they wanted more. So we’re pleased to announce that we’ve added the ability to add SSH keys to your account to make it even easier to connect to your site. Read on to get started.

How to Setup and Use Your SSH Key

1. Copy your public SSH key to your clipboard.
2. From your WordPress.com dashboard, go to My Profile.
3. On the My Profile page, click on Security.
4. Click on the SSH Key option available in the Security Checklist.
5. Paste your SSH Key to the Public SSH Key field.
6. Click on the Save SSH Key button.
7. Select the site you wish to connect from the My Sites option.
8. From your dashboard, go to Settings → Hosting Configuration.
9. Under the SSH Access section, use the SSH Keys field to select the desired key.
10. Click on the Attach SSH Key to Site button.

Once your SSH key is attached to the site, you can use it when authenticating over SSH.

Detailed instructions on how to add an SSH key to your account are available now in WordPress.com Support.

Build Your Next Site on WordPress.com

Adding SSH keys is yet another way of integrating WordPress.com with your preferred workflow, whether you’re just starting out or are an experienced command-line superstar.

What else would you like to see in your terminal? How can we make WordPress.com an even more powerful place to build a website? Leave us a note or submit your ideas using our short feature request form!

In Laravel 9.41, we now have a few convenient static constructors added for things like enum rules, files, and image files. Let's dig in and see how they work.
