TeamWP Launches Team Experience Index To Measure Employee Engagement and Satisfaction in the WordPre

In February 2023, James Giroux founded TeamWP, a project that aims to advocate for open, people-first workplaces in the WordPress ecosystem. His first initiative was to launch the Team Experience Index, a benchmark employee engagement survey designed specifically for people working in the world of WordPress. “The distributed nature of WordPress companies means they often lack the resources and knowledge to create truly open, people-first workplaces,” Giroux said. “The Team Experience Index fills this gap by providing insights and bench . . .

WordPress Developers Are Experimenting With Gutenberg-Native AI Block and Content Assistants

As more WordPress plugins for AI-generated content and images, chatbots, and assistants, are landing in the official directory, developers are beginning to explore even deeper integration with the block editor. Moving beyond the prototypical content generators that are cobbled together into a plugin, the tools developers are experimenting with today will provide a more deeply integrated experience that works seamlessly with the block editor as a natural extension of its capabilities.

how to make my air handler quieter

I have a Bosch ISD 2.0 BOVA-36HDN1-M20G with a BVA-24WN1-M20. 24kBTU, Air Handler Unit 2.0 unit. It was installed in my attic (no basement) and the problem is the sound. Every time the machine ramps up and down the air handler vibrates through the floor and ducts. The noise makes it very uncomfortable in the house and hard to sleep at night. I had my Bosch tech install vibration pads under the unit but that did not fix anything. I saw someone on the forums mention adding a lineset silencer to the unit? Is there a simple solution or maybe a sett . . . [More]

can my furnace explode?

Furnaces are found in more homes than any other type of central heating system. Ironically, they’re also not well understood by the average homeowner, and that’s probably because they are so common; they’re easy to take for granted. You don’t need to be a furnace expert to have a good working furnace, that’s why you have professionals help with any furnace service or other heater repair In fact, only professionals with licenses to work on gas-powered heaters should ever handle service on a furnace. But extra knowledge is always helpfu . . . [More]

what is this weird filter at the back of my furnace air return

Does anyone know what this filter is supposed to do in my air return? It is old and has shiny fiberglass looking fibers and based on how old the furnace was when we replaced it, I'd guess it was from the 90s. It's nasty and probably not doing much but not sure what the purpose is. Is it safe to remove? The first photo is where it is located and has a blue circle to show where it is and the red line shows how the filter is located within that duct. The two other photos just show what it looks like. Thanks!. Question from user passingby at hvacad . . . [More]

heating question from an enduser

Question from an End-User. Good evening everyone! I'm hoping some Good Samaritan will take the time to help out with this if they have any thoughts. A little backstory. I pay significantly below market value in rent for my new-construction two-bedroom apartment. The property manager is absolutely terrible but the cost more than makes up for it. However, I generally try and handle any small maintenance issues by myself (either DIY or bring in a handyman) to avoid having to get the PM involved. This may sound crazy to some of you but I'm very hap . . . [More]

WordPress Mobile Apps Get a New Support Forum

Support for the WordPress mobile apps is moving to the WordPress.org forums. Previously, users were routed to WordPress.com, even those who were self-hosted, and Automattic employees handled support tickets related to the mobile apps. This move to WordPress.org is part of an effort to disentangle the official WordPress mobile apps from Automattic’s services. In July 2022, the Mobile Team announced it will be pulling all the Jetpack and WordPress.com features from the official WordPress mobile apps and moving them into the Jetpack app. . . . [More]
