This pre- 420 edition (IYKYK) of #WordPressWednesday issue contains a bit of everything from checking broken links, quite a few tutorials, and some WordPress vulnerability notices.
#WordPressWednesday is a roundup of the past week’s articles from around the WordPress Community. It’s just a small piece of the big pie. Some of what you can expect are: Plugins and theme roundups, tutorials, development discussions, design tips, and even news from the community. The purpose is that this curated list may be helpful in some way, as it has been for me.
