Amber's Rant:

Welcome to Episode Use The WordPress Force – This is Episode 44 for 2022! Time to get ready for the holidays! Hoping everyone is keeping warm and dry, as this is the time of year for colds!

Remember, don't skip the end of the show – you never know what kind of amazing life altering advice you might catch! Like how to fill your site as full of spam as possible…

A special note to our New Listeners: Don't be shy to ask your questions. No such thing as a dumb question!

…When you see this in the notes, this means we didn't read this on the show, and that the only way to find this information out is to read our Show Notes!

News this week:

– WordPress Vulnerability Report – December 7, 2022 (https://ithemes.com/blog/wordpress-vulnerability-report-december-7-2022/) – The vulnerabilities list this week is a little on the long side, though not as long as we have had some weeks!

The ones I recognize easily are: Bulk Delete Users by Email, Eventify, Advanced Booking Calendar, and Plugin Logic. There are more, be sure to check the list!

– ChatGPT Creates a Working WordPress Plugin – on the First Try (https://wptavern.com/chatgpt-creates-a-working-wordpress-plugin-on-the-first-try) – For those that don't know, ChatGPT is an AI-powered Chat Bot created by OpenAI. A lot of good questions have been brought to the fore on Twitter by users, and this last week WordPress developer Jonathon Williams brought forth a plugin written by the ChatGPT that wound up working on the AI's first try. Very exciting!
