Felicia Day Launch
WebDevStudios is proud to announce the launch of Felicia Day’s new website, Felicia.day, built with love by our WordPress team. Felicia Day is a multifaceted creator, actress, writer, and producer known for her diverse contributions to geek culture. She gained widespread recognition for her web series “The Guild,” showcasing her talents as both a writer and actress.
Felicia’s work extends across various media, including television, gaming, and literature, and she’s recognized as an influential figure in the realm of online entertainment and gaming communities. It all began when Felicia notified her 2.5 million followers on X (formerly Twitter) that she was on the hunt for someone to redesign her website. Without missing a beat, we reached out.
“It’s so easy! This is not what WordPress used to be,” Felicia declares as WDS Director of Engineering, Mitch Canter, demonstrates her new website live on Felicia’s Twitch stream. Watch now, and learn more about why you need a website even when you’re a famous celebrity and just how easy it is to manage it using the WordPress Site Editor.
Special shoutout to our team, who made this project happen!
WordCamps
We never tire of saying how important WordCamps are. Attending them is pivotal for fostering a vibrant community centered around the open-source platform. WordCamps serve as hubs for networking, enabling collaboration among enthusiasts, developers, and users while nurturing a sense of camaraderie that fuels innovation. These are the WordCamp events our team members attended in November.

Alfredo’s talk was named “Impactando WordPress desde Adentro: Contribuyendo con el Core,” and it covered how to contribute to the WordPress core. Additionally, Alfredo worked the Core desk at WordCamp San José.

WDS Engineering Manager JC Palmes spoke at WordCamp Manila on November 11. Her talk was titled “Exploring the Impact of Block Themes in WordPress” and covered the significance of Block Themes in the WordPress ecosystem.
Plugin Updates
Every single Pluginize plugin is a WordPress plugin developed by WebDevStudios. Our product team has been hard at work. If you’re using one of our plugins, here are the updates you need to know about.
WP Search with Algolia Pro
WP Search with Algolia Pro released two updates in November. First, there was Version 1.3.1, which included fixes for mismatched details for Rank Math and SEOPress. Then, our team launched Version 1.3.2, which included improved logic for “noindex” detection with both Yoast SEO and SEOPress. But it was Version 1.3.0, released in October, that really blew everyone’s mind. Read this blog post for more information
