Pier #147 – Next Chapter for StellarWP, SureFeedback Cloud & FluentCart With Visual PDF Invoice Editor, Fees API & E-Invoice Support

Ahoi.dev

Welcome to the 147th issue of The Pier. ThriveCart has announced that ThriveCart Learn will be transformed from a standard LMS into a full social learning network. You will soon be able to host your courses, discussions and gamified leaderboards in a single, built-in hub. Stay tuned for Communities!

Launch: SureFeedback Cloud is a new, fully managed version of the WordPress plugin that is platform-agnostic.

Sad Milestone: Bot traffic now exceeds human traffic. Find out how it affects your WordPress site.

Next Chapter: StellarWP is set to officially become part of the Liquid Web family. In order to provide a stronger, more unified ecosystem, the most powerful features from its individual plugins will be taken and built directly into the four flagship products: LearnDash, GiveWP, The Events Calendar and Kadence. Personally, not sure if this is a good idea though. For example, how would Orderable fit into this?

New Arrival: We would also like to welcome Gleap to The Port.

Here is a selection of the latest and greatest blog posts we published this week on Ahoi.dev. You will also find some interesting industry news, the latest directory listings on The Port, job openings, and more. Enjoy!

Contentpen Integration

👋 ContentStudio ❤️ Contentpen

ContentStudio now integrates with Contentpen, making it easy to create long-form blog content. What’s more, ContentStudio can now automatically generate AI-powered variations of your evergreen campaign posts.

Finally, shareable links have become a full collaboration tool. Reviewers can now comment on and approve content directly from the link — with no login required!

🗞️ Bites & Pieces

WordPress

FlyingPress is now available in 13 languages, including German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish and Korean.

WP Umbrella now scans your sites daily for broken links and images, allowing you to fix them using the built-in redirect management feature. The accuracy of its uptime and performance monitoring has also improved.

With SureForms Premium 2.7.1, users can now automatically send contact details directly from a WordPress form to Constant Contact.

ProfileSwitch enables families, teams and organizations to share a single login while ensuring that each profile’s data, progress and identity remain completely separate. Think of Netflix, but for your WordPress site.

WPMediaVerse claims to be the missing media layer for WordPress communities. Think of it as a self-hosted alternative to Instagram, Flickr, Pinterest and Dribbble.

E-Commerce & CRM

SureContact 1.4.1 adds price-level tagging support to its SureCart integration.

FluentCart 1.3.17 introduces a new visual PDF invoice editor, a Fees API, and e-invoice support (ZUGFeRD/Factur-X with EN 16931 profiling).

Automations

OttoKit 1.1.24 adds integrations with WPAdverts, JetEngine CCT (Custom Content Types) and WPFunnels.

Analytics & Attribution

Usermaven announces that the Meta Conversions API is now fully integrated into its analytics platform. New features include password-protected dashboards and public report links, as well as form tracking with support for custom fields.

Consent Management

Trustwards is undergoing a transformation, evolving from a SaaS platform to a Consent Management Platform (CMP) plugin for WordPress. This new plugin will be available on 21 April.

WPConsent 1.1.4 brings a significantly upgraded automatic scanner with email alerts, auto-updates, and scan history. Additionally, you can manage content blocking based on geolocation-group basis.

Managed WordPress Hosting

Pressable MCP is now available, enabling you to connect your AI tools directly to your hosting account. You can use it to create sites, update configurations and audit environments. You can also pull logs, for example.

LMS / E-Learning

Tutor LMS 4.0 Beta 1 is now available, introducing three new quiz types (Draw Image, Pin Image and Scale), a new certificate verification feature, course bundle expiry control, and a forgotten password email template.

In the new Product Management Case Studies course, you will learn to approach case studies as a repeatable method rather than a one-off exercise. You will learn how to frame problems, uncover user insights, evaluate trade-offs, and define meaningful metrics. This system can be applied in interviews, stakeholder discussions, and everyday product work.

Appointment Booking

With Timetics AI 2.0, you can manage bookings, services and payments in one place, rather than having to rely on limited manual appointments.

SEO

RanklineWP is an upcoming CLI SEO toolkit for WordPress featuring over 70 CLI commands and an MCP server for AI agents. Manage SEO meta, run audits, and automate workflows from WP-CLI or let Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor do it for you. Compatible with Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, SEOPress and more.

Product Demos

Supademo introduces Timeline-Based Video Hotspots (video). Record or upload a mobile screen recording and place hotspots at specific timestamps using the interactive video timeline. Then, move the hotspots directly onto the canvas. You can also now specify your demo’s use case and add context before you start recording. Rather than leaving AI to infer everything from page content and click behaviour alone, you provide it with the information it needs to generate better output from the outset.

Laravel & Tailwind CSS

Laravel releases the open-source Cloud CLI – a command-line tool powered by Laravel Zero for deploying and managing Laravel Cloud applications, environments, databases, domains and more.

SerpApi transforms search results into structured, ready-to-use data. With built-in scalability and resilience, it powers AI apps, product research, price tracking, SEO insights and much more, all without the need for maintenance.

WhatsApp Automation

Pabbly Chatflow now allows you to customize the CTA buttons (URL, phone number, quick reply) and actions for each card in your carousel templates. A new ‘Assign Team Member’ action enables you to assign chats directly to a specific team member. There is also a Round Robin feature that automatically distributes chats across your team.

Job Boards

With Job Boardly, job board owners can now view jobs imported by a backfiller, XML importer or aggregator. They can also give backfillers names for easier identification and exclude jobs that lack salary information or a company logo. Finally, they can exclude imports from specified employers and override the location type of jobs imported via the backfiller. In other news, employers can now view candidates’ CVs within Job Boardly instead of downloading them.

Podcasts

Castmagic can now clean up your transcripts using context-aware corrections, fixing errors in names and terminology without altering the original meaning. Every change is tracked, enabling you to review and undo individual edits with a single click.

Personalized Outreach / LinkedIn Automation

With Sendr‘s LinkedIn Enrichment feature, you can find a contact’s LinkedIn profile using just their first and last names and their company website.

Server Management

xCloud introduces a Auto Tune feature for PHP, FPM and OPcache. Simply click one button and xCloud will read your server’s RAM and automatically fill in the best settings. 

AI

The ElevenLabs app is now available on iOS and Android, enabling you to create voices, videos, images and music on the go.

Reputation Management

Twilio SMS setup just got easier: EmbedMyReviews introduces a much smoother toll-free setup flow for the US and Canada, handling more of the compliance work for you.
